Bummer, sorry to hear you couldn't kill it, ha ha! I'll still be looking forward to watching your upgrade video, I already watched a couple videos from other people, it seems very upgrade-able. I got motor, ESC and a cool Beetle body for it already, just need the damned truck, and maybe some proper pizza cutter wheels for it, ha ha! Good info as always, buddy!

I have not tried, but if you can find a way to run power to it and strap it to the esc, it should certainly help.

Great video! I’m looking forward for the brushless conversion cause I want to upgrade my 2995 but with more budget friendly electronics. I’ve been looking at brushless motor replacements but all of them have really poor reviews, except for the hobbywing ones. What motor will you be using? Or can you recommend another brand?
@DerbyCityRC2 жыл бұрын
Ya I understand! My 2995 setup I believe is around $350. This one I’m about to build should be under $200. I’ll be using a surpass hobby, which is certainly not as good as Hobbywing, so it will be interesting to see how it holds up.

@nikitaromeo88379 ай бұрын
yup I think the granite and 1/16 fc600 (clone of truck everyone owns) are all I need. Well i grew up with 1/10 scale tamiya pajero and fox so to me larger rc cars just do not appeal. They don't look right. The 1/16 scale is my project car and so much fun. The battery holder i had printed makes fitting 3s so easy like it was meant to be there. The weird thing I can't explain is I bought some sexy metal gear servos for the steering but wheels will not turn enough. If I put original back it is fine...it is just a weird 'how and why is this possible???' moment!! It is a massive time sink due to servo sitting under the 3d printed battery tray converter which doubles as its mounting. I have had it in and out so many........forget that, kids are present!

Yoo how are you feeling after covid? And my cheetah broke it's driveshaft yet again but it was kinda my fault I landed it full speed on the rear wheels and it was probably what happened but those front ones that I replaced are still in tact very good. And also i broke the plastic servo horn because i tightened the servo saver a little too much. But other than that it's still soo much fun with it
