Hello. I liked your presentation and bought this car. It has two problems- major one is weak servro. Is ut possible to upgrade? Can you suggest stronger one that is compatible? And second problem is it´s steering angle, it is very small- again, can it be upgraded and how please?
@theminiatureconstructionco45569 күн бұрын
Hello. Not sure about the servo as it uses a strange size and its five wire (from memory). Sometimes you can grind the stops on the steering to increase the angle.

@aces626222 күн бұрын
MN and WPL actually bothered to upgrade previous models which is why I can recommend them. Watch Tomley's video on MN78, it was just bad. You basically need aftermarket Tx and Rx for these. WPL also updated their first proportional Tx/Rx and the BC Tx/Rx at least twice now, compare the C64-1 and B24 for their modulation, there's a noticeable difference and also the fact that later BC models have drag brake instead of dual throttle.

I have bought one of these and I totally agree with you. Thanks for advice! From my side, on minus, leaf springs are too soft; on high torques they bend and transmission starts clicking, loosing connection. Second, the turning radius very large; maybe here differentials would have helped - even stiff. On plus, all that you have mentioned; in addition, I hate -usually- electronic squeaking noise made in very low throttle. It is completely missing in JJRC C8815. It is a very nice model!
