[@benjamincloutiermainerc]

The willy jeep my favorite jeep of all times the story's my grandfather told me about these in veitnam they were amazing little truck 4 men or less could pick them up

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

I love it. Great job. Its amazing how much those little 130 motors can grunt with the right battery.

[@modelnutty6503]

yes but the armature windings are VERY wimpy as are the contacts riding the commutator.. all prone to burning up quickly.

[@THYC]

Cheers bro! I will stay stay tuned because the 130 motor doesn't like 7.4v 😂🙈

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

@@THYC i sure will stay tuned. Yea i know they dont really like too much voltage but they do come to life for a while until a couple of weeks later they go kaput

[@griminyt2354]

It's not 130 im pretty sure its 180

[@griminyt2354]

Can it the 130 motor and board handle 6v 2000maH battery without damaging the stock components?

[@THYC]

Yes the 130 can handle 6v fine 😁 7.4 is a tad to much 🙈

Very good video it looks like a good car I think it was certainly worth upgrading 👍👍🔥🔥👏👏💯💯😁😁　wow a giveaway that sounds good 👍👍 its very nice of you to be giving away all these cars👍

[@THYC]

Upgrades are a must with the q65 if you want to use it on the trail. Other rigs like the c24-1, mn99 and fayee Fy003-1 are ready to go! And it's the least I can do, if it wasn't for the support of you guys I wouldn't even be able to review trucks for banggood, so it feels right giving back 😊

[@Fonzierc]

Nicely done ✅ I'm on the lookout for part two 😜😉

[@TheNathan643]

Super slick bro... just what I needed to see... 🥇🏆

[@BradypatRC]

Clever work 👍

[@THYC]

Cheers bro 👊😊 This budget setup would be awsome for your old stock wpls

[@BradypatRC]

@@THYC yeah, i'll look into that bro, got no funds for a bit 🤣

[@paulchearman6261]

good upgrade to start with .... gonna put one on my wish list

[@THYC]

It's a pretty decent budget upgrade, it's a shame the 180 doesn't directly fit, this is stopping the q65 from being upgraded from the factory like other brands are doing. Its stuck with a 130 😂 Tomely rc has got a 270 2 speed to fit with some trimming.

[@LCMNUNES1962]

VERY GOOD JEEP, BRASIL OK

[@THYC]

It's a good little budget platform indeed, could do with some minor upgrades to get the most out of it!

[@johnmorgan4392]

oh i forgot to say dont try to run stock jjrc q65 electronics on a battery over 6 volts dont ask how i know but i sure had to up grade when i saw the magic smoke lol !

[@modelnutty6503]

yup, same with the 1st edition WPL RTR's, the ESC section can't handle much of anything voltage or current through them to feed the motor, then there was the toy class bang-bang steering that'd pull power away from the drive motor.

[@THYC]

😂 Yes, karl over at sharkeys rc garage informed me 6v was the limit for the q65 electronics! Stay tuned, an upcoming video shows the 130 motor not getting along with 7.4v 😂🙈

[@Garethfrostturkeythroat113]

Great information big like brilliant job

[@THYC]

Cheers bro, massively appreciated 👊😊

[@lukas430000]

Smart way to improve that little rig. Thanks for good tips💪🏼💪🏼🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@THYC]

Simple, cheap and effective. That's how I roll 😂 I will say stay tuned, the 130 doesn't like 7.4v 🙈😂

[@Andozable]

Nice upgrade for beginner play with rc

[@THYC]

Cheers bud, yes a nice cheap and easy upgrade, simply is always best 😊

[@metals2magnets428]

awsome mate so much better with even just the electronics shame about the motor not fitting. like rhe different kind if content simple and easy to follow ill be changing my motor in my mn96 when i can get round to buying ine mine stopped working plugged it into my 99s and still didnt work so need a new one and a rear drive shaft aswell

[@THYC]

Cheers bro👊😊 That will be an easy fix, new mn 260 motor, remove the old, install the new and your back on the trail!

[@MrPandaverde]

Can I install the 7.4v battery without replacing the electronics?

[@theguy497]

is there any point in me trying to run a 180 motor on stock electronics and a 5.4v i dont mind triming but there are no electronic kits available right now and wondering if its worth doing the motor change and leave electronics?! thanks

[@THYC]

A 180 motor will give you more torque so it is worth doing bud 😊

[@lowercentenary]

As a complete newb with very little knowledge or experience or tinkering ability what would be the simplest way to give this truck a little more speed or power...I've upgraded to a larger Mah value battery but it makes little to no difference

[@grrfy]

If you have troubkle with that glue again, a hairdryer works a treat :-)

[@THYC]

Awesome tip, cheers bro, I'll keep that in mind 💪

[@modelnutty6503]

minor "oops" to fix... (just my opinion), slip the 130 motor out of the #316 type gearbox and swap it into the tan B36 gearbox with its lower gearing, should be golden. the 180 motor in the #316 gearbox is nice enough for most trailing and banging around in a lighter weight rig. little 130 motors usually 4.8 to 6v, with lower gearing its more likely to last running 7.4v so I'd consider that swap a "must do". if either motor socket cracks (more likely with the 180 motor going into the #316 gearbox) or the 130 motor is a loose fit into the B36 gearbox, a little rubber cement will keep it positioned nice but you'll still be able to pull+replace when you need to, CA is a little more difficult to deal with at that location.

[@THYC]

That's a good idea, In an upcoming video you'll see what happens to the 130 in the 316 gearbox at 7.4v 😂🙈

[@modelnutty6503]

@@THYC lol "oops", right? it give up the magic white ghost at the first real challenge? did it get stripped of its power and shamed so bad no amount of viagra can help it? did it do a poor rendition of Jim Morrison singing "Light My Fire"? of course spare loose 130 motors are common to have around for anyone messing with WPL type stuff so its not a really big deal, there's a 130 motor with neutral brush timing in all the bang-bang steering boxes too.

[@semperatis]

Yeah,it's a bit of a faff trying to fit the 180 or 270 motor into that Jeep,it had me tearing my hair out at times.

[@THYC]

Same, I was so close but yet so far! I didnt want to trim anything as it's a give away, so back to the drawing board 😂

[@RejanChitrakar]

7.4V would burn the 130 motor in no time. I upgraded mine with a 370 motor. Tires and suspensions are worse in JJRC Q65. Here's the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHKtqYaHhdWgfKc

[@THYC]

Yup the 130 did burn up 🙈😂

Really a very nice vehicle :) With us you can buy it for 389€. That was a bit much for me but I like the details of the car :) Great video!

[@THYC]

€389! 😲 This is the JJRC Q65 they do for about €35, check the links in the description 😊
