I Made my RC Car Way FASTER!

[@TomleyRC]

Most 8th & 10th Scale RC Cars can be upgraded with these combos. (3650 = 540 Size, 3660 = 550 Size). Check your Shaft Size as well... oooo errrr 120A ESC: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Deq2Mjv 4500kv Motor: bit.ly/3RqC8qQ Less Crazy Motor Option: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDTAkEJ Cheap Combo for most 1/10 RC Cars: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEOh4zd

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Everyone keep in mind that: Blowing up your existing motor or ESC, (In order to upgrade) *Is highly encouraged*

[@oldmanbluntz]

F550 motors are equivalent to a normal 3650 or 540 for internals. Like F540 motors are equivalent to a 380 sized motor. The F is for finned.

[@TomleyRC]

@@GhostRyderFPV I second that

[@heclanet]

It's spectacular! One thing that would be great is that you add the speed in Km/h because there are some bums like me who don't bother to convert from m/h to Km/H 😂

[@francescocolangione6354]

Potrei chiederti se nel prossimo video modificassi la Ford puma rally

[@buildrestorecustomise2060]

I love how the rear squats under hard acceleration and the new motor and esc combo has accentuated that perfectly! Looks just like the real thing! Great videography as always 👍👍

[@michaeldorich4485]

This a very worthwhile video. It shows how you can easily and cheaply make a car faster and more fun. I think this will encourage people to upgrade their rc's. Great job.

[@TomleyRC]

Hopefully...

[@ianmangham4570]

Awesome, totally transformed her into a 3s HOOLIGAN 💪😮

[@cogboy302]

Back in the day (late '90s) I used to belt tyres myself. Turn them inside out and run a strip of duct tape around the inside of the tyre. Worked remarkably well to stop tyres ballooning. Fabric surgical tape also worked well.

[@mtiplin]

lol I did that to for some of my tires haha good ol’ 90s

[@hyne1972]

More upgrade videos like this please Phil. Keep up the good work. We all love your videos 👍🏼

[@alankowalski8781]

I don’t think you can ever take it too far. For me, that’s what this hobby is all about. As far as rally cars, I think the HPI WRX FLUX, is the winner.

[@VestedUTuber]

I mean, if the car can handle it then sure. But each car has its limits, this one seems to have its limits at 4500kv on 2S, _maybe_ 3S with better tires and driveshafts and a better setup.

[@disciplinerc]

You had me at more power. The cam on body shots 😮 Beauty!!

[@coreynelson6731]

RC love from the Northwest in USA. Much viewing enjoyment. Thanks T.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude :)

[@PRAISETHESAVIOR]

I think 2S suits that car perfectly. I think it’s pretty cool and realistic. Awesome action shots Tomley!

[@riothero313]

Those crashes were pretty realistic. It reminded me of Group B.

[@markcole6475]

Nice editing! The car performs awesome! Looks like all it needs now is a set of higher speed tires…..even tho I like the look of the factory ones.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Mark

[@gerryk101]

Love the way you capture the video Good angles Looks epic on the dirt 👍

[@ruffriki3264]

The video editing is the clear winner here! 👍🏼

[@Average_Bruh]

You could lock the front diff. That would send most of the power to the front wheels, which would help keep it straight.

[@Benjamin_Reese]

😆 That's quite the speed upgrade.

[@WCPRCModelsCraft]

Good looking shell and the power to match the looks

[@matthewbeeson5612]

The cinematography in this video is outstanding. Really enjoyable to watch. Did you film all of this on your own Phil? Congratulations on a superb video.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. Yeah... as with 99.9% of my stuff, it's a 1 man show. And a fair bit of 1 handed driving

[@PetrSedlacek]

@@TomleyRC Dang, you calling yourself a "crap driver" is adding insult to injury - I wish I could drive as well two handed as you one handed while getting those extremely cool shots at the same time...

Yes! More Rally!!!!🎉

[@silvertamman3218]

I have 60 amp surpass esc in my tamiya tt02 rally car and it takes small stones in the fan constantly. Super annoying! I clued speaker grille cloth over the fan and it helps. Also took out fan screws, so i can clean it whitout tools. Positive is, my fan looks like it went through hell with missing blades and busted bearing, but still runs and does it job!

Wow that was awesome, it was way more faster than before

[@tittentei7331]

Nice video Tomley🙂😎

[@idjc2621]

I used an 80a on a 4500kv motor, and that was wild. You are mental for going 120a. In all fairness, it is larger than the RC I used.

[@chriskeentechnician]

Seeing it in the dirt was magic 👌

[@fatboysrc2024]

Bought one of these and it was painfully slow. We also managed to kill the shock tower on the first run. Tookk your advice and got hold of a 3900KV Brushless with ESC from Amazon and now it goes like stink. Modified the shock tower and replaced with aluminium

[@PhilipCockram]

Nice work . Yes . That's how it should have been out of the box .

[@TaylorRawlins23547]

Tomley what is that app that u use to see the speed of the car?

[@workingclassperson2124]

In theory a faster RC is better but speed is nothing without control. But it’s always FUN when you realize an RC is simply to fast for its own good 😮

[@Del350K4]

I enjoyed seeing how cheaply it's possible to turn these into serious rally cars. Carisma definitely mis-specced this model, for some reason.

[@jonathanbarnette8713]

Awesome car!!!

[@justboggy]

Dude the video shots where the camera is on the car are fire 🔥 😍 can I ask what camera you use? Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@CharlesFlahertyB]

The spot where you were doing your speed test looks a lot like where Kevin Talbot does his, is it the same place?

[@Nixxtrr]

It's where they go to cross swords.

[@TomleyRC]

Nope... 2hrs away from Mr T

[@petejones6827]

tbh i think its perfect no reason to go full throttle but the power and acceleration of the bigger motor is perfect for those rally style driving

[@offsetrc]

Ps I'm doing a mn86ks build thanks to you I seen your one and loved it 👍

What was that red full scale truck in the background???! Toyota ??

[@chevyb0195]

1001 like that's cool. Also No,I feel like the upgrade went well for the Subaru.😊

[@dnesquick]

@tomleyrc what camera were you using for onboard shot down side of the car in the parking lot? Thanks

[@Stellamotorsport1]

Just started watching your channel and watched most of your videos now. What rally based car would you get for street and loose gravel brushless etc. Thanks

[@Anton-gz1go]

3:01 is that a 1990 toyota hilux? Dude you got good taste in cars

[@hyperc5249]

HAHA That was awesome! Way to bring that rig to life. Carisma really dropped the ball on this rig. Terrible electronics and basic design all the way around. By the time you upgrade and buy the 3S battery you could have got the HPI WR8 or NEW CEN Ford Puma.

[@therealknapster]

The reason of specs out the box . Fun not destruction

[@connorboyce9545]

@TomleyRC I was wondering where do you get the gps from, can’t find one anywhere that looks like it is either similar or the same

[@rcplaytime]

cars a beast now, it belongs on the gravel though ,thats where its happy 👍👍👍😀😀

[@bsea35]

I did something similar to my Tamiya Alfa GTV. It does wheelies now but is almost uncontrollable. Can only go 75% throttle.

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

I was watching the Paddlesworth video today of their rally stage, the stock slow motor is designed exactly for that, narrow twisty rally stages but, like you I'd put a faster motor in too.

[@offsetrc]

Ya I would say much better bud so I guess the question is is it better then a wr8 if tyres a problem do you think you can run the wr8 subaru wheels on it

Hi Tomley would be great to see a video of the upgraded carisma suburu against the Hpi Suburu with a speed & performance & Spec comparison & what is the better rallye car in the long run for the money which ever one has the better components ect cheers to a great review.

[@ianmangham4570]

Beautiful even on 2s

[@chrislang7460]

Yes Phil!!!!!

[@jonenglish6617]

Phil, could you play with the throttle rates on 3s to make it more controllable?

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah probably... but then you may as well just run 2s

[@Calsonic800]

I run a Mamba Max (the realy old one) mit 5400kv in my Tamiya TB-03, but only on 2S. I think on 3S the fun would not be much more, but the problems will increase.

[@electricnitrorc]

Way better setup than stock. Wonder if Carisma even tested the car before production 🤔

[@Anewman53091]

Hey Tomley, what’s the app on your phone you’re using? Is it using my laps?

Great video. If you were going to buy 1 rally car right now, which one would it be?

[@TomleyRC]

Probably the HPI WR8

[@CharlieFultonSC]

@@TomleyRC appreciate it

[@Kenno10rapid]

Would've thought some stickier tyres might help 🤔.

[@scaleworksRC]

Oh yeah, double the fun.. until you crash into something lol. I just got the Mini T back together and put a 4800kv motor in it. More docile and controllable, but I kinda miss the 6000kv insanity, but that's what breaks parts.

[@Molekulasti]

Those "ribbed" F540 motors are actually smaller 28 mm diameter inside. It would go even better if you used a full size 540. That said, it doesn't lack in power, in fact, it seems like a sweet spot for the size of the car.

[@Dannysrcstuff]

I’ve been waiting for a new video 😅🤓

[@PiePieR9]

Love that shell! Do you think it would fit the HPI WR8 flux? I don’t mind drilling new holes in it but just want to make sure the wheels will line up with the arches lol

[@davejohnson7463]

Can you tell me what you mean by 2s/3s etc please? I'm new to r/c cars after many years from running a HPi Subaru back in late 90s.

[@Ryndel]

If you got the new rocket v2 on 6s that would be good too. Maybe 4s to save the gears ha

[@keep_it_low_bro]

All you needed to do is, change the tires and springs to low profiles/short dampers and she would coast at high speeds.

[@riothero313]

I've never been a Subaru fan but that body style WRX has always been one of my favorite looking cars. That Colin McRae blue and gold still looks great. This is a dumb question but, are RC motors mounting holes standardized? Everything I have is RTR and haven't swapped motors.

[@roberthartmann782]

Mr. Tomley how you been?? Well what be good esc and motor i should put into a clone hpi .. its supposed to be a exceed mad beast 1/8.. but im build it up... is surpass esc actually good . Or should i go hobbywing.?? And what kv should a motor be in a 1/8 monster 👻 truck 🛻 .. i have another exceed mad beast truck i was going to build up.. but just wondering it be a waste and i should just buy a different rc monster truck..

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

What a beast, so what do you plan to do with it now ????

there is a reason stock is so "slow", cause it's ment for rally bot speed runs and bashing. we have had some fun with gigs like this but we all know, this is just stupid:)

No experience with the esc's but the Rocket motors are great with a Hobbywing ESC.

[@glavos7536]

I'm curious on if you increased the pinion on the original setup how much speed you could get. seems to be a pretty small pinion for the stock KV rating.

[@tobydyes]

[@mark-1rc502]

I’d be interested to see how that ESC hold up

[@buysncharge]

The motors are great. Never used the ESCs

[@mark-1rc502]

@@buysncharge May be they’ve improved but I’ve seen a few exploded or just pop easily

[@buysncharge]

@mark-1rc502 most ESC fires are bad connections. I've never had smoke come out. Only units that abruptly fail. So I would suspect a dead short in units that burn. And I feel like that is the battery connection at the solder join. Most of the time.

[@Droidy77]

The funny thing about surpass escs is that they are *comically huge* in a chintzy cheap kind of way. And the fan blows like a hurricane and a tornado having a disagreement. But they're cheap and work well for me so far.

[@TomleyRC]

I've got a few... never had one go up. My 1/7 ZD Racing has a 150A one... good for 70+ MPH on high capacity lipos and has done multiple runs.

Every cheap black motor I have had in the last three years ran quick but broke all the shafts on the pinion side right after it comes out of the can. Can't find replacement rotors anywhere. And esc's are a joke anymore under $50 usd. I'm just going to save a little and get good system.

[@009ADVENTURES]

oh yes that's way better 😂👍

[@havn2muchfun]

Good video and not a surprising result. Would be curious how the stock motor would do with the better esc or the better motor with the stock esc. Just to see if it’s the entire stock combo or one of the parts.

[@TomleyRC]

I think the stock motor just didn't have the RPM it needed. 3300kv - 3500kv would probably be the sweet spot
