Resolving some of the issues with the 6-ch Transmitter(Tx) that comes with the 'Carbon' version. 1) If you see a padlock icon on your screen. (with sometimes also having a flashing screen as well as beeping) - Turn the Transmitter OFF. - Press and hold the Fwd/Rev Button (bottom RIGHT) and then LONG-press (until the screen appears) the Power ON Button at the same time. 2) If you inadvertently mixed channels 1&2 together (e.g. throttle also works while steering) or channels 5&6 together (lights only on momentarily with ch6 button instead of staying on with the ch5 button). - Toggle through the mixing options by Long-pressing (until it beeps) the Mixing Button (bottom LEFT) UNTIL you NO longer see either a ① and/or a ② symbol(s) next to the mixing icon on the bottom RIGHT of the screen.

wow...great info! Thanks.

Nice video. It keeps my eyes open from beginning to the end. Which action camera do you use?

[@DOUGandNIKI]

I use about 3 different Go-Pro's... 10, 11, & 12.

Hi hello Good evening what a fantastic video I've just had mine today Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator Alloy MINI roller version 😀

[@DOUGandNIKI]

so cool... have any custom upgrades in mind for it?

[@CSL33]

GYRO complete and ACCURATE instructions for the 6-ch Tx/Rx that comes with the 'Carbon' version. Firstly, it's assumed that the Transmitter(Tx) and Receiver(Rx) are already bound to each other, and both powered ON, thus there's NO need to even open the Receiver(Rx) box at all. 1) Turn OFF the Transmitter, and keep the truck powered ON. With the Transmitter OFF, press and hold the SWA (ch3) button, and then long-press the power ON button at the same time. --->Transmitter(Tx) will now be in the Gyroscope setting mode. Mixing Button (bottom LEFT on Tx): This turns the Gyro On/Off. --->When the upper right corner of the screen shows a 'signal' symbol (e.g. cell tower symbol), the Gyroscope in ON, otherwise it's OFF. ALSO: The Forward/Reverse Button (bottom RIGHT on Tx): This alters the directional effect of the Gyroscope. ---> The ◥ symbol on the screen means 'normal' operation. I.E., if vehicle fishtails to the Right, gyro steers to the Right. (Make SURE this is selected!) ---> The ◣ symbol on the screen means 'reverse' operation. (NEVER select that!) IMPORTANT: This following is correct and confirmed, but often cited incorrectly! Left Steering Dual-rate Knob (below the ch5 button): Adjusts the Gyroscope's 'Sensitivity' aka 'Reaction Time'. (top number on the screen) Right Throttle Dual-rate Knob (below the ch6 button): Adjusts the Gyroscope's 'Intervening Travel Ratio' aka 'Amount of Reaction'. (bottom number on the screen) Once finished adjusting the settings, Long-press the SWA (ch3) button and it will be saved. (2 beeps) DONE! (so there's NO need to power off, and then back on, anything!) LASTLY, very IMPORTANT x2: Return the Steering (endpoints s/b at least ~75%) and Throttle (@100% of course) dual-rate Knobs to your chosen, normal operating positions.

[@CSL33]

So the Gyro is generally used mostly when on the really loose, low traction surfaces. A good place to start is.... -----> 30% to 40% 'Sensitivity' aka 'Reaction Time'. (top number on the screen) -----> 40% to 60% 'Amount of Reaction' or 'Gyro Strength'. (bottom number on the screen)

[@DOUGandNIKI]

Awesome extra info! Thanks.

[@Hungrybird474]

Well explained . You should make videos . Mine came with the 🔒 lock symbol on the remote so I can’t adjust anything . I think I have to hold the reverse button on bottom right whilst turning on to unlock it . I’d like to know how the new turbo boost for 30%. more power . To top speed but it doesn’t go faster according to the manual . No one has spoken about the 30% boost and how it works

@@Hungrybird474 Yeah, he did a great job!

[@Hungrybird474]

50/100/30 fcr diff oil . Stock comes 30/60/10 or 20 . Runs nice . Favorite car atm ,,after honeymoon phase . It’s great for the backyard and loves jumps . Stock diff outdrives wear , rear faster than front so that will be a thing after around 3 dozen runs . They’re 21mm long , 9mm at the cup , with a 5mm shaft with the hole . You don’t need them right away but they have upgraded s2 diff outdrives . Same for front and rear . Rear is a dogbone and fronts are cvd s and 1 mm shorter 89.5mm and 90.5 mm . Ordered some s2 cups for now and aloomineum hubs and tire caps for now. If she does well she’ll get more . Like every RC . They’re great right away until things start wearing but that’s the first to go and I’m wondering if I’m the only one . I seen Omni man racing uses his quite a bit and has had the same issues . Hopefully they get some better hardened cups as stock . I’ve had some arrma soft outdrives once . Like a bad batch . My new ones are holding tuff .

[@DOUGandNIKI]

awesome info! Thanks for sharing.

[@Hungrybird474]

I ve bent a few things doing big air and flips but nothing broke . Bent a front arm pin , blew a shock out which I ll fix today hopefully , replaced the 4 diff outdrives . Put it on 70% with the 27t pinion and 4.3 “ tall tires , some goolrc from Amazon work excellent , highly recommend . Highly , it’s so smooth now on grass and moves and turns way easier , doesn’t get too hot , it’s perfect atm . The stock tires are good but the ones on there now make all the difference . Even the new rlaarlo sand tires are 4.3” tall . Heeuge difference . It was already perfect stock , just saying . I turned it down because I didn’t like how the gears sounded going full throttle but 70% with my set up is perfect for me . I still can’t get over how soft it lands with this set up

[@DOUGandNIKI]

@@Hungrybird474 How do you like GoolRC? they seem new.

[@Nerm78]

Another great one! Thanks!

[@DOUGandNIKI]

Thanks so much for checking it out. Glad you enjoyed.

[@TetsuBeats]

Great vid - it's a beast. I ended up with two - one carbon w/ factory electronics and one roller (which also had the carbon upgrades), and the roller ended up w/ electronics that cost more than the roller >.

[@DOUGandNIKI]

Great tips. I'm currently grounded as the center carbon fiber brace snapped and it's taking forever to get new ones in.

[@CarnivalCruiseAddicts]

Awesome!

Right on! Thanks so much for commenting.

[@Mike_A08]

Interesting that you tried your break it but couldn’t. Whereas I wasn’t trying and managed to break the front gear box/bulkhead (I think?) and jammed up my steering as well 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@DOUGandNIKI]

Sometimes being lucky is an important thing! Sorry to hear yours broke.

[@krishurrle]

My nephew and I collided and did the same thing. We broke (split) the gearbox and had to replace.

[@Mike_A08]

@@krishurrle how difficult was it to replace? I’m new to the hobby and have never disassembled and reassembled a car before. I also need to fix the front suspension arm as that got knocked around

[@DOUGandNIKI]

@@krishurrle Ouch!

[@krishurrle]

@@Mike_A08 I wouldn't say its outrageously difficult. The main thing I would recommend is to make note of where the screws came from. Also, get a quality driver that will work for the screws instead of the tiny little allen you get with it. The screws are pretty soft and I had several strip when I was putting it back together.

[@Casitascrawlers]

The chassis itself is impressive eventually I may put in a faster motor depending on space I know there’s a brace you can buy to give more room for a motor upgrade I just had my Carbon out & I’m starting to jump it so I’m getting used to it & it’s been nothing but fun so far it’s just right sometimes I don’t want to haul big Bashers around like my Fireteam it’s a good basher to have in any brand.

[@DOUGandNIKI]

Yeah...I agree. Loving mine. Thanks for commenting.

[@krishurrle]

Did you break the wheelie bar? Ive broken it twice...

[@DOUGandNIKI]

Just busted the head off of the hardware which obviously tosses the wheel. I haven't broken the assembly yet....

[@michaelking6408]

I have a question.. I found the green one that offers a 4 s lipo.. is the difference between 3-4 s the length of drive time or the speeds you’ll get out of it. Please answer ty

[@DOUGandNIKI]

the difference between 3s and 4s is like the displacement of an engine. Assuming everything is equal... think of a 3s like a 5.0 engine and the 4s a 6.2 Litre engine. Something like that.

[@michaelking6408]

@@DOUGandNIKI so get the package that gives both the 4 and 3s .. I think to use the 4s you need to do changes to the way the truck comes .. I’m ready to buy

[@DOUGandNIKI]

@@michaelking6408 If you get the carbon edition... one in this video it's 4s ready. You just need the battery. If you want to put a physically big 4s battery in you just need to move some of the electronics around so it fits. Can't go wrong with this RC.

[@cyrusshellard3905]

Does the ESC need upgrading to run this on 4s??

[@DOUGandNIKI]

@@cyrusshellard3905 No, plug and play :) Are you thinking of getting one?

This car is awesome. For its size it gets it . Lands nice and soft unlike others this size l haven’t even used the gyro

Totally agree! I still haven't gotten the gyro to work in a way I care about.

[@Jasonv8z]

@@DOUGandNIKI It's an amazing value. Steering has gotten a bit sloppy (not the best design) and parts are hard to get now. It has held up otherwise and overall great fun. No reason to pay 2x for a name brand basher.

@@Jasonv8z I agree, particularly on the parts! so low and jenky have a clue why?

Is it really a 1/10 scale or 1/12 ive hurd its 1/12 scale.

It's definately not a full sized 1/10th but it's so good it doesn't really matter but, it's more of a 1/12th size.

What’s the runtime like on the stock battery?

It's pretty good, I'd say 15 minutes of good hard runnning.

@@DOUGandNIKI just like you were on. If you turn the gyro OFF, I think you’ll realize it was working quite well from the start! With gyro off, it’s almost impossible to keep it straight on the dirt.

Buogiorno friend I subscribed to me even the relatives does not do anything I have to commit myself. I wanted to thank you for your beautiful videos, I also bought the carbon fiber terminator after your video I wanted to ask you to use a 4S lipo that I should change the engine and ESC?. Hello from Rome Italy

[@DOUGandNIKI]

I honestly haven't gone to a 4s because it's darn close to uncontrollable at full speed on 3s. On 4s it will just be wildly fast which could be fun on an open field but if you are running it off road, probably actually too fast. Enjoy it...it's an awesome RC!
