Cheap Brushless RC Trucks Speed Tested at VELODROME - Are they really as fast as they claim???

[@PhillipSowerby-q9l]

Great video mate! Those little cars are darn quick! Keep up the good work👌

[@techspac3]

Thanks bro. Yup especially that blue one damn🤯

[@Aardvark_Gaming]

Loved this, bro! Glad you didn't get knocked over this time, these RCs go fast fast😮

[@techspac3]

Yeah and these are small...its the big boys you need to worry about hitting you🤣 thanks for the watch🫡

[@reneekotze3088]

Very informative video testing all the different brushless cars ... well done!

[@techspac3]

Thanks for the watch. Great to be able to help with choosing the right car for their needs🫡

[@BriansRCStuff]

Excellent video!!! Great job. I use that same GPS and I put packing tape over the screen (like 3 layers) to protect it. My 60+ mph HBX has been putting a beating on it but under the tape it looks new!

[@techspac3]

Thanks for the watch appreciate that. The Mielian GPS is such a tank of a thing. Mine was farely undamaged for the good part of a year and half. And then this video with the blue SCY wheels scrapped the hell out of it. Maybe the next one ill do the same💪🏼🫡

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@techspac3 Yeah, it takes a beating for sure! Do you ever have problems with it not working/struggling to pick up a signal? It is weird, the last few times I have had mine out at around 5pm (I live near Washington DC), it was really struggling to connect and sometimes when I would zero it, it would read a couple of mph and just act goofy. Today when I used it it worked perfectly. It really sucks though when you get all ready for a speed run and it isn't acting right. I was starting to wonder if I had damaged it somehow but today again... it was working flawlessly.

[@techspac3]

​@@BriansRCStuff​@BriansRCStuff ive never had any issues with mine (apart from it dying mid speed run due to depleted battery😂). Mine have been rock solid from day one. Yours might be on its last breath. Might need to get a new one as it makes you wonder if you are now getting accurate readings. Dirt cheap...i would get a new one...in a new color😂😂

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@techspac3 I am thinking about it..... I can tell when it is not being accurate but it would be fun to run 2 at the same time just to see how close they read. The only thing that sucks about them is they have a much slower refresh time that some higher end GPS units so it is critical you stay at top speed for an extra second or so to make sure you really get the top speed. I like the red one as it is easier to find when it gets flung off a cartwheeling RC into thick grass! 😄I might paint the back of it orange or something.... the other day it took me a few min to find it as it landed screen side down/black side up!

[@techspac3]

@@BriansRCStuff yeah the red is good but i might get the white one next and paint the back neon yellow. But then again i dont usually ever loose mine🤣 most/all of my speed runs are at the Velodrome so chances of loosing it is minimal. Ive never noticed it but again, the speed runs i do usually hit top speed for long periods around the Velodrome. I wouldnt even bother getting one of those 'stop' 'Read' ones as it annoyes me watching other Tubers say those words hahahaha. Meilan will remain my go to. Cheap and solid as they come💪🏼

The only question I have is on the “MJX’s” after you press the power button on you have to press it again 5 times if you want to run it on 3s otherwise it’s going to run slower than it’s supposed to go. I have several “MJX’s” and that’s normal for “MJX’s”.🤷🏻‍♂️

@@peteroman4297 not for these models mate.

[@Solrak8O]

First off, really enjoyed your videos. I love the velodrome runs. Keep up the great work! Could we possibly do 12th-scale Chinese vehicles next?? A couple of suggestions when doing your speed runs... Might want to consider moving the spectator cam further back along the track. There is a fair few seconds where the viewer can't see the truck on the far side of the track and it's "dead air time". If you could switch to the spectator cam earlier to view the truck this would be more engaging for the viewer. You could also relocate the GPS to the front of the car to add weight and reduce wheelies.

[@techspac3]

Thanks for the feedback mate. Which 1/12 Chinese cars were y9u thinking? I generally do more than one specator cam but this summer have been really warm and the camera's keep on over heating. This video's spectator came stayed on because i had it sitting in the shade for the majority of filming. As soon as the camera's overheat they shut down. I filmed another video at the Veldrome today and i placed the camera on the opposite side of where i ussualy stand, facing towards the cars it looks great but it shut down within 20min of filming. I ussually spend around 1.5 hours when i film at the Velodrome. So thats the issue at the moment. Next video will introduce a new camera angle 'Track View'😬🔥
