3S LiPo POWERED - Modified 1/10 Scale Maisto RC F-1 Car

[@BrokerBasil]

Fun video - "toying" with the idea of getting one of these (as an F1 fan).

[@iamgeek01]

Can you make a video on how you did this? I would want to know how you accessed the motor and servo :)

for that price you cannot beat it

[@albertdelbosco9686]

I have both going to try to put a better esc in them so they have a brake function also some suspension

[@JUMBOs-RC]

@@albertdelbosco9686 if you want to first try a simple improvement, the stock system can handle a 7.4 volt 2S LiPo battery for a little more RPMs to the motor

[@albertdelbosco9686]

@@JUMBOs-RC I dont like how it goes right to reverse. I wish I had a 3d printer would love to make a chassis like a mini z so it has rear suspension

[@pelebar1636]

can some one explain i have 2 of them and now i cant get them going is there a reason or frequency problem thank you

[@wikemilson567]

Wowzers in my dirty trowzers!!

[@Arad._Xl]

how do you fix wheel drift? i dont know if i can fix it for some reason they are cricket and cant turn left

[@JUMBOs-RC]

@@Arad._Xl I removed the mechanical trim dial from the chassis and just trimmed it out electronically through the factory transmitter… there is quite a bit of slop in the steering because it uses a pin/shaft that just rotates inside of plastic

[@Vezinabuyck]

Could you do a vid on how you used the Dremel to allow more servo room?

[@JUMBOs-RC]

@@Vezinabuyck I used the cone shaped sanding/grinding bit and made the holes bigger in front of where the steering links go through the chassis… it needs to be widened toward the front to give the links more room to move

[@Vezinabuyck]

@ appreciate the info, thanks!

[@ryanp8935]

Why can’t RC hobby grade companies can’t get a license for this? Maisto was able to get one and sold RC toys for $50.

[@giuseppe4909]

Maisto has had licensing from Ferrari for quite a while, and they are a large enough company to afford it.

[@pelebar1636]

it was working perfect when they were new 2 weeks ago and now with brand new battery and charged 100 percent nothing thanks any reason..

[@bosalva]

Cool build! What exactly did you dremel to get more servo throw? Can't quite figure out what's stoppi the steering link

[@JUMBOs-RC]

@@bosalva thanks… I dremeled out right in front of the steering links where they contact the black chassis when wheels are turned

[@xdravex11]

Hi how do u modify the car to run with 3S Lipo?

[@JUMBOs-RC]

@@xdravex11 a Hobbywing 1625 ESC… the stock circuitry can handle 2S though

[@SharphandXeno]

I'm the driver of the red car on 3s. I put in my own ESC, the Hobbywing QUICRUN 1625 and did some dremeling in the battery compartment to get a 2s li-ion 2800mAh or 3s 1050mAh to fit. The servo is an actual servo with 3 wires, but the plug needed to be converted to fit my receiver. Sure it goes on 3s, but the motor won't last long. Oh and it likes to spin out. Out of desperation I tried putting rubber bands around the tires which actually helped a little!

[@xdravex11]

@@SharphandXeno Will u be able to show us a video of the internal body the setup of the ESC & motor? Thank u!!🤩👍

[@albertdelbosco9686]

😅now we need to figure out suspension

[@toddsimone7182]

@@SharphandXeno Need a wheel and tire upgrade. Maybe some foams.

[@cheagle464]

What good is 3s of you can't even keep it straight.

[@JUMBOs-RC]

@@cheagle464 who can’t keep it straight? What’s the fun in not turning ?
