Hi Paul. Sorry, I don't have that truck anymore. There are lots of videos here on KZbin though, just search 'Arrma 3s diff replacement'. Good luck.
@OB_RC2 ай бұрын
This is a super fun RC for the size. I went ahead and replaced the rear diff from the get-go. It's definitely a weak point. and went ahead and locked up the diffs got some really good Shorty 3S Lipo for it. Really wakes this little rocket up. I think they're 50 C will ride wheelies as long as you want to. Not to mention it is tough as hell.

i honestly enjoy this kit...after almost a year of bashing ..the steering links busted..Ackerman went loose..ive change the spur and bevel set from the 1/14 mjx to my 1/16 hypergo since the original ones stripped due to all time 3s load....i did some suspension tuning..400cst oil shocks and upgraded spring from the original with abit harder rate..throw in proline caliber rubbers...radiolink radio. & HW 16BL30 esc....and it runs,responded great on offroad tracks... kindly take a peek....thanks..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5TMeYaFrJKlmc0

Hi hope all is well, i tried but the v2 shafts are different than the v1 shafts , so i ended up buying a set of assorted 8mm pinion gears from 46 to 50 tooth mod 1, i removed the 39 tooth spur on the shaft and replaced it with a 49 tooth gear meshed a 27 tooth pinion on the motor and it seemed to do the trick, cooler temps and about 80mph on 8s. I watched jaytee rc and he did the same on his limitless a few years ago.

Could you make a video showing the diff up close and the driveshaft lengths used to make this work?
@dougerc6 ай бұрын
The driveshafts are stock out of the box length, and the diff is the stock 46t Infraction/Felony diff (part # ARA310989). The tallest pinion with this setup is a 27t, if I'm not mistaken. It's simply a drop-in and you're away to the races!
@garyquiet30676 ай бұрын
Thanks for the reply, so that we are on the same page infraction or felony diff would work and as far as front and rear drive shafts, you used the stock ones from the limitless, or did you use the ones from an infraction. What I'm getting at is on my v2 with the spool removed my front and rear shafts are the same size so I would think that the front would reach but the rear wouldn't .
@dougerc6 ай бұрын
Yes, I used the stock driveshafts from my Limitless V1. I understand what you're saying about the V2, but as far as I understand, the center spool/diff are positioned further back on the chassis, to prevent the rear driveshaft from flopping around at high speeds. This, however, shouldn't affect the fitment of the Infraction/Felony center diff. It should still drop right in.

I haven't done RC cars in 40 years, but I recently bought 2 of these H16BM on Amazon USA. I like the cars, but the controllers aren't great. I'd like to upgrade to the Dumbo controller you are using, but I'm not sure how. Which model Dumbo do you recommend? You need a special cable for the light? What about the receiver--Do you need to change the ones in the cars? Thanks! I like your video.
@dougerc7 ай бұрын
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words! I recommend the Dumbo X6 transmitter with either an X6F or X6FG (gyro) receiver. The transmitter has no noticeable lag and has really long range. The receivers are excellent and easy to set up. The gyro is handy to have if you're running fast, especially on the street. To answer your question, yes, you would have to switch the receivers. Plug the servo into channel 1, the esc into channel 2, and the light into the light switch, then the switch into channel 3. Here is the Canadian link for the switch, I'm sure it's the same in the US: www.amazon.ca/dp/B08FLZXSD7?r... Lastly, plug the motor fan into channel 4. After you're all plugged in and the receiver stuck down with double-sided tape, turn on the transmitter and plug your battery in. Then, turn on the esc and the receiver will be blinking. There is a little button on the side of the receiver, push and hold with something that can fit inside and the receiver will blink with a solid green light and be bound to the transmitter. That's it! You'll be set to rip! If you want to set up the gyro, press the button quickly 3 times and the light color will change from green to yellow. The channel 6 dial on the top of the transmitter will control its sensitivity. If for some reason your wheels move in the opposite direction of your turn, press the little button 2 times quickly. That will set your wheels following the gyro properly. Hope this helped! Sorry it was a bit long-winded, lol. Please feel free to reach out again if you have any questions. Enjoy your RCs!
@kokosnood6 ай бұрын
@@dougerc So I'm going to order a DUMBO transmitter with one receiver. For the reciever you recommend the X6FG (I want Gyro) and not the X4FMG? The H16BM comes with a 5 channel receiver, but only 4 channels are used. So I'm wondering which receiver to get. Also, I'm not seeing the X6FG, only the XDCG. Any advice would be appreciated.
@dougerc6 ай бұрын
I think you might be looking at the X4, or X4 receivers. The X6DCG is a gyro receiver with lighting connections. That one would be ok as well if you need the gyro.

That isn't a knock off of anything. In the 16 scale world, there are only two trucks and a million brands who buy them. That's the Hyper Go which sells under at least 7 brand names, and counting. And the Redcat Volcano16. And it sells under all the rest. Hyper Go sells the whole truck, and Redcat sells roller kits. Hyper Go has two versions, the one you have and the one with a larger battery tray and a strap hold down, which they don't sell under their own name where they force your battery choices. That's it.

My 16209 eats body clips like mad every time I take it out so I am converting it to the clipless body style. I think the aluminium body mounts that take the body clips will destroy the body much faster by punching huge holes through the body where the body clip holes are, so the aluminium mounts might not break, but quite likely destroy the body.

Another upside is that they are both 2S and 3S capable out of the box, also now there are so many made that all parts are freely available. I already have ordered in some spares like differentials in case they break. I serviced and greased the differentials and drivetrain before I took mine out, so I expect it to last longer than if I just took it out of the box and ran it, not knowing how well the drivetrain was lubricated from the factory. On the one we checked we found almost NO grease in the differentials, so we are glad we checked them before running it.
