You really should have like 10k+ subscribers! PS - May sound basic, but for newbies (like me), how about a video on how to properly clean your RC? I presume you can’t just open it up and spray it down, much less scrub it down (maybe with a toothbrush in small areas).

That’s a hard question cuz I broke all kinds of stuff and almost all the parts I’ve put on it seem to work together to keep it strong. A lot of them I just replaced as they broke. However I haven’t had issues with electronics yet. I thought I did at one point but it was where I pinched a wire.

[@jamesbatso4092]

this looks just like my Blackzon smyter brushless. even has the same lights on top i need those big wheels like yours 😁👌

[@DerbyCityRC]

So this car is based off of the hbx 2995 while the smyter is based off the hbx 903a. This car has a center differential and the 903a/Smyter does not. They do look very similar. The big tires are goofy, but they will wear out the drivetrain quicker on the Smyter than they will on this because the center differential helps take load off the drivetrain. But I agree you still need them!! 😄

Are you needing to buy a new house to accommodate your RC hobby?! More trucks, more ramps, more space. ;) I can hear it with your wife for the move, “Honey I’ll move all our RC stuff and you handle the rest of the house.”

Mainly needed to move cuz we have 4 kids and we lived on a busy street. But getting more space for RC cars become a requirement for the new house lol

[@DerbyCityRC]

I had quite a few boxes labeled RC lol

[@BigDave_723]

First off, I appreciate and enjoy your style and honest reviews. Congrats on new house! To the point: which would you recommend, the upgraded fc610 or the hosim x07? Hosim seems to have great out of the box performance but I'm intrigued by the FC center diff. Thoughts, I'd appreciate your expert(ish lol) opinion since you have both. Thank you! And happy new year!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! Definitely glad you like the videos. I haven’t run my x07 enough to know for sure, but I’m betting pretty heavily that the fc610 is more durable. That center diff is serious business lol. Every RC should have one. The Hosim is definitely higher performance out of the box, but the upgrades I put on the fc make it comparable. If you decide to go the Hobbywing option, it goes well beyond the x07 and still keeps its durability. Happy new year to you too!!

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

Fantastic video, and congrats on the new house! Did you have any overheating issues after adding those larger tires?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! No overheating issues with that. I was pretty impressed. It was pretty warm but nothing detrimental. I still recommend Hobbywing, but for the price that motor I used here is great!

[@KlunkersKustoms]

what, i didn't know about the 2 differnt pinion size, makes sense why the fc610 with big tires is so slow LOL

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks and you’re welcome! If you’re open to upgrades, I’d definitely say the hbx 2995 with all my upgrades to it. Straight out of the box, probably the HBX 903a. I don’t have the 903a but I have similar versions to it. Not as durable as the 2995 or the 1/16 scales, but still very good. The Flyhal in this video is almost exactly the same as the 2995, so what I did in this video is good too.

What’s up Derby City! So I got the Flyhal fc 610 I’m looking at the hobbywing max10 combo. I also got the big tires and spacers you linked in the video.

I’m just getting back into the hobby and I don’t really know anything about brushless motors. As a matter of fact this is my first RC in probably 15 years. I’m loving it and I got my brother back into it also!

Hey man! I think I would stick with the 3300kv to help avoid heat issues and cogging with the big tires. Have you seen this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/faexf513mqqhZ5I It’s a 3300 Hobbywing and is absolutely insane. The whole video is only with a 2s battery. The higher kv motors potentially have a higher top speed, but less low end torque, so it puts more strain on the system and causes more heat. Such an awesome combo!

Dunno if you remember my whinge about about my xmas present to myself of a fc610 + eventual (quick) upgrade to brushless etc, being lost by aliexpress or the company that sold it through them. Ok, now normally I could hit a dispute button......but.......although the company selling it messaged me half a dozen times with 'no stock' and sometimes 'cancel order' I could not due to somehow the item being marked as shipped. This changes things, the dispute button disappeared (cuz it shipped) and I guess it will not reappear until after the longest possible delivery time + a extra week or two just to be sure. I was told by a Ali-E computer the item was shipped so i could not appeal until sometime in the middle of February. Talking to aliexpress is impossible....well without a dispute button it is. Anyway I bought a Flyhal fc600 brushless and a ton of larger batteries (actually the ones i think you suggested in one video and in a later video you said they both died so DO NOT get them lol (ugenex i think) well they are both doing well. \o/ While realising that the flyhal fc600 is amazing i do not want to try 3s without a better ESC that will squeeze in ........ideas?? The flyhal has that RED esc/receiver thingy, I am sure it must be in some of your other cars. Lastly I decided I wanted to get a Rival MT 10 but I saw there was a v2 coming (which is not as good it turns out) and my impatience got the better of me so I bought a ARRMA Granite, not the latest v3 but the earlier v2 with a little discount. Proper charger and a couple of 5000mah 2s batteries and it is awesome. (almost scared to try 3s in that, it is quick enough in 2s to self destruct, well on the concrete with kerbstones outside my house it is, maybe later in a better area with more space) The flyhal is going 3s, I just want a smallish but capable and not expensive esc. My plan is to get a dumbo xt6 with avc or whatever and stick it in the Granite, and the use the granites reciever/controller with the new esc in flyhal Hope you are ok , hey Max 🚕🚗🏎🚓 ps. I feel like you cost me a getting on for 1000$..........your damnn videos brought back all my Tamiya Pajero and Fox memories from my childhood. 😘

[@DerbyCityRC]

That stinks about Ali express! I’ve never bought from them cuz of stories I’ve heard like this. Banggood has been great so far. I haven’t tried a different esc in the little 1/16 scales yet. I have put 3s in them and it seems like if you keep it below a 35c, it may be ok. I have a 35c and mine cuts out at full throttle, but other people say it works perfectly with 3s and a 25-30c battery. The Urgenex ones did go out on me pretty quickly so they sent me two more lol. So far one of those has gone out but I used it quite a bit. I’ve been going for the ovonics and the Gens ace batts lately. They seem a little better. Glad I’ve helped you spend money on some awesome stuff 🤣🤣 Other people have told me the same thing lol Not to mention I make myself spend money. 😂😂 Thanks for watching!!

[@zaik04]

Hey dude I see you used 80mm eye to eye shocks you think 92m eye to is too long?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Honestly they will probably work fine. You can angle the driveshafts pretty severely without any binding, plus you could always use different mount holes. Do you have a link? I’m interested in the ones you’re using. Thanks!

[@Teds_hobbies]

HI,I am thinking of getting a hbx 16889a pro what will you recommend

[@DerbyCityRC]

I have quite a few videos on the 16889a pro. Have you seen any of them? Good recommendations for tires and other stuff.

[@Teds_hobbies]

If I put it on 3s will it be fine

[@DerbyCityRC]

Hard to say for sure lol

[@theunknownone5663]

Thinking about changing from 80a esc to 120a esc. But is there any way that I can change to a smaller sper gear and a bigger pinion gear on my 2995?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Nice! Unfortunately there is no easy way to make thy work as far as I know. A company would have to design a spur gear for that purpose.

[@romisilvente1670]

Nice change! Speed 3S batery?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! That was all with a 2s battery! Not sure I trust that esc to handle 3s for too long.

[@JoseRamos-ro4vl]

Hay man, I just upgraded my flyhal fc610 with a 5200kv motor and a 120 esc. I put everything on but it sounds pretty bad. I put a 16t pinion and a 17t pinion and both of them lost their teeth. How can I fix it?! 😢

[@DerbyCityRC]

5200kv is pretty high for that truck. Also, sounds like maybe the tooth pitch was wrong. They need to be a MOD 0.6

[@normanrogers8057]

Are RC as easy to work on as you make it look

[@DerbyCityRC]

I hope so lol. I have a pretty extensive mechanical background so that probably helps a bit too lol

[@TimothyOdell-pv5pd]

What truck would you recommend for a first truck for my 8 year old? I am looking for one that is decent on speed and durable out of the box but also has wide variety of upgradeable parts as he becomes better with it. I am looking to get one for him for Christmas.

[@DerbyCityRC]

That’s great! What do you think of the one in this video? It’s one of the most durable ones out there. Starts off around 17 miles per hour, then as you may have seen, with the set up I used here, it hits 30, which is plenty fast! Another great starter truck is the HBX 16889a pro. That one is quite quick out of the box, you can turn the speed down for your kid when first starting if you thought you needed to. Only thing is it’s a little smaller. I have a ton of reviews on alot of cars, but here is that video if you want to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3rTe2abfNGmhbs

[@TimothyOdell-pv5pd]

@@DerbyCityRC I was really wanting to get him a 1:10 scale truck. I would not completely eliminate this truck in the video out of the equation, it seems like a decent RC truck. I know this truck is listed at a 1:10 scale but you and many others have said it was more like a 1:12 scale. Do you recommend any true 1:10 scale that is just as dependable and upgradeable?

[@DerbyCityRC]

1:10 scale starts going up in price quite a bit for anything good. I do highly recommend the Team Associated Rival MT10, but it seems to be quite hot this year and is out of stock at the moment. I’ve got a couple videos on it. You may be able to catch if you keep checking. What would you say your budget is?

[@TimothyOdell-pv5pd]

I was wanting to stay under $200 of possible

[@DerbyCityRC]

Personally, I think it will be tough to find a decent truly scaled 1:10 for that. This is as close as I can find that I think would be decent. It’s brushed so can always be upgraded to brushless later. amzn.to/3ihoxCH I don’t own one of these, but I’ve heard good things.

[@DavidClark081]

Do the shocks in the link come as a set or are they individual?

[@DerbyCityRC]

It’s a set of two shocks. 😀

[@NemesisFlo]

Hey Derby City RC, I copied your Build. I bought the tires, the shocks, the remote control from Dumborc and I bought the motor. But I was not so patient while looking at your video before my order. Now I have a question left. What else do I have to buy, if I want to keep the LEDs active? Do I need the dumborc x6dc? It would be great, if you can help. #Derby City RC

[@DerbyCityRC]

Unfortunately I’m not really sure. The 6 channel dumbo shouldn’t make a difference since only two channels get used. My lights never last that long so I never really worry about them lol

[@DerbyCityRC]

Hope you like the build otherwise!!

[@NemesisFlo]

@@DerbyCityRC Yeah thanks, I already like the build, even If I only attached the wheels yet and started to use a 3s Lipo. But I think the back differential broke today... I am not sure. But when I rotate the back wheel on one side, the opposite site is not moving. And alltogether the whole car is not driving anymore. No power at the wheels. I think I have to repair the car, but I don't know, where to start.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Well that’s no fun. Gotta make the motor turn and see where the problem is. May have to take off the rear diff cover

[@kylesteele7590]

Trying to upgrade a deerc 9206e to brushless. I got a s3650 3500kv motor, 60a esc, the servo you recommended, new transmitter and receiver. Put a 64t spur gear with a 18t pinion. ( only pinion that would fit with the crappy motor mount) Everything seems to run fine when it's on a stand. Once wheels are on and put on ground it doesn't go. I've watched videos and taken this car apart 2000000000 times. I'm not giving up!! Is there anything you can think of that I've done wrong? I'm not smart with the gear thing and I feel confident I have the mesh right. I'm just lost in the sauce on this. HELP!!!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Sorry again! Any updates?

[@kylesteele7590]

@DerbyCityRC I got the gear mesh right after a few attempts. The car is crazy fast and still in one piece. Painted the clear body black on the inside of the body and put grip tape on top of body cause it likes to flip and slide on roof. Gonna get that liquid gravity stuff to add some weight and better shocks on it and see how it goes. Appreciate you responding!! Can't wait to see if I win the "Evan style Granite"!!! Take care and looking forward to more videos!!

[@kylesteele7590]

@DerbyCityRC you will laugh when you hear why car wouldn't go anywhere on ground. I had the front and rear diffs going against each other. Derrr!!!

[@normanrogers8057]

Are there Metal upgrades for this if so can I help me find them thanks

[@DerbyCityRC]

Not that I’ve seen yet. Are you having issues with something breaking? Metal can actually be a bad move in some cases.

[@normanrogers8057]

@@DerbyCityRC no I just thought I could make it less likely to break by upgrading the parts to Metal

[@DerbyCityRC]

That’s a good thought, but the flexible plastic is what makes it durable. When you go metal, you can break other things. Rarely do I recommend that for suspension parts.

[@normanrogers8057]

This is a lot of truck for the money out of the box 17 miles and hour is not slow for RC truck

How dose this compare to Hosim x07 on the fence witch one to buy

With the bigger tires, I feel this one has better handling and will be less prone to breaking. If you can swing it, I recommend the Hobbywing kit over the cheap motor/esc I used in this video. All of it is linked in the description

Now im confused. Sorry still new to rc. The pack of tires that you recommend come with12mm hex. How did you fit 15mm? Does 12 not work? I ran with stock pins and lost a wheel immediately 😂 Any advice will help 🙏

[@DerbyCityRC]

No problem! The 15mm is the length. Like how much it will push the wheels out away from the car. The hex size is still 12mm. When that happens I usually use loctite lol

I’ve run it a few more time so an e this video. I had to revalue the esc foam one more time as it was starting to tear, and I broke the little plastic servo arm on a bad jump. Love this truck for sure. I do recommend the Hobbywing or Spektrum motors over the budget kit if you can swing it.

​@@DerbyCityRC I've already decided on going with the MJX 16208. How does that one hold up long term? Any issues with the components yet?

I haven’t ran mine too much yet. Definitely a decent car. I hear complaints about differentials more than anything else. I did break a pin in my front diff when I ran it on big tires with a 3s battery. Big crashes can break the plastic parts too. Decent plastic materials but not as good as HbX plastic.
