Fastest HBX 16890? 62.5 mph / 100 kph 3s Setup! AIMROCK Tires, Turnigy LIPO, 5900kv Motor, 60A ESC

[@reitplace4765]

Moving.. that little guy is always rippin brother good stuff.. like them tires. Nice gain bud..

[@BriansRCStuff]

Thank you!

[@JmanRc.Justin.Folster]

Might have to check your motor mount hack and do it on a couple hosim I got and a mjx might get new esc for them so I can turn the punch down so not so jumpy...but ya good work man never thought of drilling new holes to fit bigger pinion gear.....

[@BriansRCStuff]

Up on Ali Express they have a metal on for the MJX 1/16th scale truck that might fit and it is less that $10. But yeah, modifying the stock one can work. It is a bit tedious to do it.... but it worked well for me in the end! Yeah, turning down the punch is nice.... my MJX (clone) is really punchy and it makes it hard to drive. Worse than that is the fact it does not have dual rate and the steering is a challenge. Thank you man, I was so glad my effort wasn't wasted and it ran so good!

[@scaleworksRC]

Very impressive for the scale! It looks like low 70s on camera, and I bet it runs a little bit cooler with the punch turned down 👍

[@BriansRCStuff]

I think it helps for sure.... and this 60A ESC never seems to run hot with this fairly light car.... it just gets up and goes! Smooth and fast... love it!

[@scaleworksRC]

@@BriansRCStuff Awesome!

[@dcrc_adventures]

I have the ftx tracer version, currently at 61.1mph, and in need of better tyres - I'll look at getting some of these. Thanks.

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@dcrc_adventures that is really fast! These are smaller than what you’re currently running right? Daddy, I like you, you had the 18t pinion, right? What LIPO are you running?

[@dcrc_adventures]

I think the pinion was 17t. Batteries are 2x ZopPower 1200mah 100c 3s Lipos run in parallel. Tyres are 1/10 buggy, and balloon like hell.

[@TheSpeedySpot]

Awesome, great result, and on those Tyres!

[@BriansRCStuff]

Are the Zeee LIPOs really thin? Do you fit them in the stock LIPO tray or do you mount them on the chassis rail? I am going to try a 1,500 mAh CNHL next time but it doesn't fit very well (should be fast AF though).

[@dcrc_adventures]

@BriansRCStuff they are slightly longer than standard, so I have trimmed the servo mount and removed the rib in the chassis so they sit flat one on top of the other. I did run with one battery but found the increase in speed switching to the taller tyres was not as expected until the second battery was added.

[@timmy4539]

I have the same car. Only mine is fully stock ! I have no money for any kind of mods for it ! My wife just got home after a 3 1/2 months stay in the hospital !!😢

[@BriansRCStuff]

Well, I’m glad she is home! What would you want to do to it?

[@timmy4539]

@@BriansRCStuff wheel spacers to make it more stable ' different tires and maybe a clear body so that I can paint it the way I want to make it like no other looks ! But at this time I can't afford and of it ! 😢

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@timmy4539 If you search up on Ali Express, you can get new customer deals. They have hex extenders for 99cents shipped! You probably only want 15mm extenders on that little truck. 4pcs Aluminum RC Car 12mm Hex Wheel Hub Drive Adaptor 15/20/25mm Extension Combiner Coupler for 1/10 RC Crawler Axial SCX10 D90 You can get banned if you do it too many times but I have used many different email addresses and got the new customer deal over and over again to my same address. You could find a set of tires this way too!

@BriansRCStuff lol you're sneaky, my friend !!
