e163: JJRC Q60 1/16 2.4G 6WD Off-Road Military Truck - The Buyers Guide Series

[@darrin5629]

It is a nice looking truck that will go with my WWII tanks as a beer supply truck. I didn't care much for the Transporter and War Thunder logos on mine either, so I'm painting it in a "Jeepers Creepers" look. You can hardly go wrong with that kind of artwork and the 6V 2400mAh batteries give it lots of juice. No regrets with mine yet although I do wish the On/Off switch was under the hood

[@AMPROEngineering]

OMG that is such a great idea! I would love to see that. Man, with 2400 mAh, it must run forever!

[@darrin5629]

@@AMPROEngineering I need to finish painting it first, then a clear coat before taking it outside but I do know that it sure has alot more power than it did with the stock 700mAh. And the nice thing is that it's not a LiPo, just a NiMh. E-bay

[@adamdavis5961]

Those little fuel tanks pop open and fill with bb's ez. It makes a BIG difference right away. Those springs are bouncy, no shocks, it's a military truck, and it will flip very easily when hitting a bump from the side, putting that ballast low and between the wheels helps a lot.

[@AMPROEngineering]

That is a very good idea. Usually the bed is loaded down with randomness when it is out and about, haha!

[@selvarajanappasamy4978]

Fantastic commentary . Super pronunciation . Hearing this I ordered one. Excited waiting for it's arrival.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you! Good luck on the upgrade!

[@tlandauerboat63]

Great review, very realistic and fair! Thank you!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Anytime!

[@nhansme]

Great video 👍 hopefully I will get mine this week. Even though they are cheap and nasty out of the box (apart from the good looking body) you can have so much fun with them with the upgrades and all.Best part is all the parts are cheap and widely available. Looking forward to your upgrade video

[@AMPROEngineering]

True. I am still putting my mind in the head of a 5 year old. To a little one, I think they are pretty good but I do worry about durability.

[@modelnutty6503]

aww you missed it when GearBest had the RTR B1 for 20 bucks? at that price, "here ya go have fun seeya"! or give it the cheapo mods: input shaft bushing shims (important!), soft tires, cut out plastic leaf springs, dual N20 geared motors, (the kit C24 got the dual N30 motor setup, nice torque ok speed). the B1 does good considering it caught "spare" stuff, popped in two fresh 6v 400 rpm N20 motors for using the stock toy board. its the 3D printed transmission case so the motors outputs are low enough, WPL's dual N30 setup needed lowering 1/2" for the C24 chassis, or the driveline's would have been Z's! its easy to whip up side plates from tin or aluminum sheet stock.

[@deroberharzer6309]

Nice unboxing and testing. I have both trucks from JJRC and they are very good. But i have looked the diffs, so i can use them under reallistic conditions.You can see both on my channel.Good job bro

[@AMPROEngineering]

Very nice. I will take a look!

[@DeLaCruzer11]

Nice unboxing and review. This truck is just the sort of toy you want to mess around with doing some upgrade and other neat things.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I agree. Lots of potential.

[@modelnutty6503]

Alberto doesn't it just beg rear duallie rims (Gabriel Silvaz style) for 10 tires total! 2 sets WPL soft tires about 10 bucks, to cut/narrow and glue the halves back together, muscle work the front pair 5-10 minutes to soften them and slap them back on. softer tires in rear but it's twice as many sidewalls, is why I'd think use harder pair up front. it might take a 2 speed transmission (3ch Tx) really easily, with it's bigger motor. looks like the same tip applies as to the B1, cut away those plastic leaf springs to instantly gain much better suspension articulation.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, I was pretty happy about the body doors etc, the transmitter and the differential compared to the WPLs. Ohh, and I doubt WPL makes these ... or their own. The B-1 is sold by others too, like Henglong, Amewi. I bet there’s a giant production company behind all these trucks, and then WPL, JJRC, Henglong etc etc etc buys re-branded productions. I could be wrong, but that’s how a lot of things work nowadays. Good video, my friend! Thumbs up.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah very good point. They are all the same company selling to smaller resellers.

[@TomleyRC]

Did you know the little button on the controller changes the speed....low & high 😉

[@NordicRC]

Tomley RC Garage But does it work? Mine doesn’t, and I’ve heard from others they do not notice any speed difference. Do you know how to make it work?

[@TomleyRC]

Mine worked, it's not a massive difference in speed. But there is a difference.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Mine did nothing when I tried it. I wonder if it doesn't work.

[@modelnutty6503]

maybe transmitter on first? I'd try it (because it auto binds) with the switch both in or out to see if it matters, along with vehicle on first or transmitter on first. saw your Video Tomley and judging by ear it's like 75% or 80% power, or full power, is sure not much a step.

[@matthewjames2649]

Yeah it works but there's no power and won't go through the grass it's all speed you put something in the back of it and haul it around it what on concrete yay can't wait to go play on concrete

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

Time for an upgrade. 🚛

[@AMPROEngineering]

I'm on it!

[@astridsactionrc545]

Oh man! I have one of these! Very similar to the wpl trucks. Interesting that it has open diffs and opening doors.

[@AMPROEngineering]

The diffs were a real surprise.

[@SoFloRC]

I have a bunch of upgrade parts from the C74, I’m thinking about getting one of these and swapping it over to the stronger motor and better electronics provided with this model. Might make it into a logging style truck.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I also added a bunch of WPL parts to this one. They are really similar.

[@SoFloRC]

@@AMPROEngineering I have a spare motor and esc out of my C74 that would power this little guy nicely. May have to treat myself to an early Christmas gift 😅👍🏼

[@tommyvercetti6878]

That truck is a ZIL 151 from Russia 😉.

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

thx, been trying to find out what Dodge it was......lol..

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you!

[@AMPROEngineering]

I was also thinking it was russian but really thought it looked like a Power Wagon.

[@smitthone]

I'd say is a Chines Jiefang CA-30, which was a copy of a Russian ZIL-157.. successor of the ZIL-151 inspired by Studebaker US6

[@ashotovanessian9439]

It's ZIL-157, more or less; ZIS-151 had dual wheels on rear axles.

[@josephsloppy6750]

I do like the old school body ww2 look. I just ordered the wpl 6x6 kit vershion after watching your videos and others. I think the truck tested on this video has potential. I think wpl mod parts might fit on it. Great video.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I am glad you mentioned that. The WPL parts need work to fit. I have added a few parts on this and will do an update talking about that.

[@josephsloppy6750]

@@AMPROEngineering ill enjoy watching it. It seams thiese inexpensive kits are really becoming popular. I wonder if s gi joe fugure will fit in them?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hmmm...I think that figure is slightly too big but it is close.

[@josephsloppy6750]

@@AMPROEngineering i think so too.

[@ParagDesale2888]

When are you going to upgrade it? I am waiting, please discuss updates in detail since I don't know anything about rc cars.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I will need to do a video soon. I have done basic work to this and i love it.

Great truck for the price , great video my friend 👍😁👍

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you!

[@thqp]

Dang, I really love the look of the 4x4 version of this truck, but the model has been discontinued, and where ever I can find it. It's rather expensive for the quality. 70-80€ if you include shipping.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Wow that is a lot! The WPL military trucks have the exact same chassis but the look of this one is awesome

[@brettcheeseman1154]

i seen this car online and overlooked it thinking its just a cheep junk think sold at walmart with no suspension and ran on non rechargeable's, now im considering one for a upgrade.

[@AMPROEngineering]

It is a great place to start.

[@MoparMuscle1970]

kinda mad I spent time building and painting the WPL military truck when this thing is 100x cooler. the body is a lot nicer and the opening doors and tailgate are awesome. i was planning on cutting the doors of my WPL with a jeweler's saw and making them open myself but now that seems like a waste of time. Think im gonna have to buy one of these and just transfer over the servo and stuff from my WPL

[@AMPROEngineering]

I totally agree with you man.

[@ronwalsh]

I picked up my JJRC Q60 a few weeks ago, and the first thing I did was replace the electronics. I love the look of the ZIS-150. I am planning on cutting out the grille for a more realistic look. I like the differentials when compared to the solid axle, but I was wondering if there is a way to make the axles stay engaged better.

[@AMPROEngineering]

That is a good question. I will be driving mine more when I upgrade the electronics and I will give that a look!

[@ashotovanessian9439]

It's ZIL 157, not ZIS 151

[@h.cedric8157]

Not sure if tamiya diff oil helps, or just stuff modeling clay

[@donovangladden9074]

When you opened the tailgate, first thing popped in my mind was scale retention chains. What's the little blue car by your parts bin?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hahah, I thought the same. It is the Dacia version of the Renault R12 Estate.

[@toddanderson1506]

Cool video! I found the cab online. Do you think the cab would fit the atlas 6x6?

[@AMPROEngineering]

No I think the atlas is much bigger but as I do not have one, I cannot say definitively.

[@syawal63]

I like MZ YY2003 engine and steering, but I like JJRC Q63 differential axle. Am I can use JJRC axle on MZ YY2003?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hmmmm, maybe. I know that the driveshaft is shorter on the JJRC because the diff is bigger so maybe if you swap the driveshaft too?

[@ShenRC]

😉Nice but you did not use the turbo button by the led on the radio!

[@TomleyRC]

Does 82 mph when you hit that little button!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thats what it is for? I tried it and nothing happened.

[@ShenRC]

I think when your floored you push it and rpms get a little faster see 8;11 in video linked..kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6iwZpedi8x4fKM

Damn I should have tried that. Thanks for the tip

[@marsgoufwang7869]

another China product, good to see this series !

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah and it is really well done. It is just the electronics I dont love.

[@regularmen2969]

helo am wona ask if you can make review metal open differential if they come and open it test it or if they exist right now please tell ,please answer me greit wideo

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yes these are open diffs and I will do another update soon.

[@regularmen2969]

Im ask because im successfully fit open differential in original WPL c24 truck and im wona upgrade everything for metal parts

[@AMPROEngineering]

@@regularmen2969 Oh dear I do not think there are any custom axle parts for these open diff trucks. I had to mod mine to put on a better driveshaft.

[@brettcheeseman1154]

anything on that sand rover from forever ago?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Haha, i was thinking about that today actually. Nothing yet, the Bandit, CC01 and TF2 are ahead of it.

[@M50A1]

Does it have a rear tow hitch?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yes! It is just a little eyelet.

[@brsrc759]

In the first few seconds of the intro you have a typo there. Says buyer's guider

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh...fabulous.

[@brsrc759]

@@AMPROEngineering LOL

[@dongeejewooedquila6685]

Is it water proof?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Great question. No it is not.

[@sneugler]

Definitely not with the stock electrics. The motors for the steering mechanism and propulsion are exposed, and the receiver is a bare circuit board. If you replaced those with waterproof components it’d be perfectly fine

[@Sohtak_Beldeni]

where the upgrade video for this q60 !

Good but sooooo cheap !! Not good quality, this truck need a real electronic supplies, new stering servo, new motor / esc... AND REAL SUSPENSION !!, nice vid dude

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah the electronics are the least good thing about the car but that suspension is pretty surprising.

take cutoff wheel to the fake plastic leaf springs articulation gets better!

[@selvamselvammanju9717]

Hi

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hello

[@malakiblunt]

its nonsensical to have 6 wheel drive with differentials and yet non proportional steering and speed - we live in crazy but wonderful times :-)

[@AMPROEngineering]

I hear that!

[@emersonpedro3944]

Show,,,,,,,,

[@AMPROEngineering]

Video is out.

[@borivojetravica569]

Crappie steering... Sow + 20 $ real price.

[@AMPROEngineering]

True

[@andreasbrandstetter9221]

non proportional steering is bad, but non proportional throttle is worst....

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh that is the truth.
