@bobbymccourt6794 the wheels are the MEUS Racing Brass Aluminum 1.9. They have brass inserts, so they are pretty heavy. I got them from Amazon. They are really affordable.

Brooooo! I almost downvoted this vid because of iOS beta. I switched to landscape and it made it look like the 1st 2 minutes were zoomed into the FT RT Turnbuckle and I kept watching. 😂 I just did this upgrade front and rear tonight on my carbon, and YT suggested your video as my top to watch. So glad I figured my out the phone was being dumb! Informative video. Subscribed! I still laugh every time it “backfires”

Another Great Video!! For my H10 Optic RTR I got when those first came out, I saw Kevin had these clips available so I purchased a set. I had to watch his video a few times since I thought I installed the 1st one incorrectly when it would not click to secure the battery tray/panel. In the end I just kinda forced it until it clicked. Then I looked where it kinda grooved up on the tray and shaved a little plastic off to get it to click in freely. Not sure the differences from side to the other side but the 2nd one installed and clicked with very little force. I do like these clips but not sure I'll put them on the Battle Born H10 Optic Kit I have. Thinking I'll just use the aluminum pins that came on my RTR, (instead of the plastic ones in the Kit) but just install them upside down and forgo the body clips and see how that works.

Great Video! Putting a limit on a video is harder than I thought when I started but, in my opinion, I'd watch it anyway. I know a lot of people want that quick give me the details so I can move on but its hard to put what you want into 5 or less minute video. So yes, I am liking your videos and is giving me thoughts when I get ready to do mine.

Great Video!! Was wondering if you used any grease when putting the drive shafts together for the pivot point but you did mention you typically do not. I do try and add a little marine grease on these types shafts and the MIP ones but since I have the Incision drive shafts I'll be using those for my Optic build in the near future. Subb'd

Great Video! It's always awesome to see how other Kit Builders build kits after I have been doing for many years and at times I'll pick up on other technics to incorporate into my kit builds. However, haven't watched your other videos after this one yet and hopping you caught miss putting in the bearing plate spacer when you built the Transmission on the bottom part of page 11 in the manual. It's to hold the 2 plates together so there is no movement and keeps the gears inline.

I am brand new to electric cars, if I swap the ESC/receiver on this can I plug the lights and the winch into the new ESC on the same ports? How did you set the endpoints on the shifter? I got a little surpass 9 g servo for the shifter too but I may or may not use it
@racecar021872Ай бұрын
@archprizm6066 you will not have to swap out the remote or receiver when you swap out the ESC and motor. The only lights that come off of the stock ESC are the ones in the front and rear bumpers. The rest of the lights are controlled by the remote and receiver. Do not plug the bumper lights directly into the receiver, it will burn them out. Don't ask me how I know.

I believe you got 2 rear axle 3rd members in your kit. I saw some posts about this on the Vanquish facebook page. They also mentioned it on the Vanquish live KZbin live on Tuesday. They said to contact Vanquish and they’ll send you the correct part.
@racecar021872Ай бұрын
That is what I figured also. The mold lines don't line up quite right, and it looks identical to the rear third member case. I did contact them, and they are sending me the correct one.

what did you get?
@byrddmann0113Ай бұрын
It's a shame one has to do several upgrades to make it work properly. I got the red one & seen how the setup was & decided to send it back for a full refund. ESC, transmitter, reciever, tires, rims & try to figure out something with the battery tray. That's my reasons why I didn't want this.

@byrddmann0113 I do agree with you. But that is the fun part of this hobby, modifying things to your liking. And in the process making things better.
@racecar021872Ай бұрын
I agree. If I can find some brass I will probably do a video on that as well. The heavier wheels and tires made a difference but it could use more.
@nickb128Ай бұрын
Those upgrades transformed it for sure! :) Adding some more weight down low may help it out because it's top heavy.

Do you have drive pins and wheel hexes for the small monster truck above the fiesta? Possibly some different wheels and tires that would fit it as well?
@racecar021872Ай бұрын
I have wheel hexes and pins for them, same as an Axial SCX24. I don't have any monster truck style of wheels/tires for them but any 1" wheel with a 7mm hex would fit. I do have an original set of wheels/tires from an Ascent 18 that would fit. But again not a big wide type tire. Maybe the same as an FMS Max Smasher?

What motor did you use? Just changing a motor should not mess with the binding of your TX to the RX. Sometimes changing ESC's will need to have you recalibrate the throttle positions of your TX to the new ESC.
