JJRC Q117 INSANE 3s conversion... my first HEX FLIP!😲

#jjrc #rcbashing
One think I really love to do with these cheap brushed and brushless RCs is test the limits of not only the electronics but also the chassis and parts.
I can say this little JJRC 1/16 truggy truly surprised me, IT IS A LITTLE MACHINE!
And now on 3s it does well over the box claimed speed of 70kph and easily capable of quad backflips🤘
The stock 35a 2in1 board was cutting out due to the large 2847 4000kv motor, the new 45a 3s capable esc is perfect for the 2847 motor and does not cut out👌
Very sorry, the IN Hobby 45a esc listing has been deleted but any 45a or larger esc will do the job perfectly on 2-3s.

100% mate! I love the JJRC platform for the price👌 And just curious, was your stock esc held down by 3 screw tabs? Mine do not have tabs but instead held down with double side tape. It seems the only ones that can run 3s are the ones without the tabs and no one is really sure why🤷

@@rccrazy Yes mine goes with 3 screws tabs, i didn’t know that tho it’s definitely weird 🤔 Oh and how did you fit the stock motor plugs with the new ESC? Are the same width and length? Because the ESC plugs look a little bigger

[@rccrazy]

Solder new plugs onto the motor or esc. You can also get adapters, you'll need to know the plug sizes though.

[@JesseBlum]

I added a fan to esc and motor. Used a 4s battery for 3 full batterys. I then decided if I should put cat pack on there and I added 2 35 volt caps so now it's game on!

Nice😃 I think you will thoroughly enjoy the brushless version after driving the brushed one. And modding is always fun😁 Thanks buddy👍

[@NewZealandWild]

@@rccrazy Pulled out my brushed version today and it's only 3WD Looks like I might have done what uou did, lost an axle pin ? How did you fix that. I have no real rc tools or spares yet. Is there an easy fix ?

[@rccrazy]

If it is the wheel pin the easiest way to fix it is buy new ones, don't think they would cost much. I have multiple still in the box spare cars to pull parts off as I love these so much😅 But I highly recommend checking everything including the diffs, the brushed ones have plastic gears and do strip easily, that can cause loss of drive to 1 or more wheels.

[@NewZealandWild]

@@rccrazy I wonder where I could get them ? Do Temu or Ali Express have them. There are no rc shops within about 200km of here and I rarely get to a real town or city, so I'm limited to online ordering. Things take weeks to arrive here too, West Coast, South Island New Zealand. I might not be driving again till my Q117 arrives in a couple of weeks.

[@NewZealandWild]

Oh, and I did see the wheel pin was missing, but I'll check it all out in case. I've never taken anything like this apart, and at 65 my eyesight is pretty shot so have trouble seeing small stuff, but I saw that pin was missing :)

[@space348]

Nice vid bro gonna get this battery too, to get it 80 km👍 thank bro

Awesome😁 But just keep in mind if your 2in1 board is the version with 3 mounting tabs it will most likely fail on 3s. Only the tab less ones work on 3s.

[@ctx007]

this truggy is amazing. I'm thinking to order one ! Could you tell me please if you've ordered 4x the rear oils shocks form wltoys, 4x the front one or 2x front + 2X rear ?

[@rccrazy]

Definitely worth the money these cars👌 I didn't order shocks but yes the rear shocks are wltoys and I think the fronts are from MJX. If you can get a full set off MJX hyper go shocks they fit much better, wltoys shocks are too long and bind up and sometimes bend the driveshafts

[@maiainfooficial]

Very GOOD, could you pass the link where you bought the shock absorbers? Please! or how to buy for this car ?

[@rccrazy]

I highly recommend getting a set of wltoys 124019 FRONT shocks for both front and rear. OR a full set of MJX Hyper Go shocks as they are a little shorter than the wltoys front shocks and fit this car almost perfectly👌 If you google MJX Hyper Go shocks you should find heaps available from many places.

[@jamesjeter]

For Christmas

[@maiainfooficial]

Your videos are great, could give a tip. What do you use for lubrication in the set of differentiated customers, to make the car faster? Silicone and which promotes recommends? or marine grease?

[@rccrazy]

Thanks mate👍 If you mean what should you use in the differentials then I think marine grease is fine to use but I personally only use it for the diff crown and pinion gears, I only use proper diff oil inside the diffs. This car I would probably use 30,000w diff oil front and rear. But diff oil or grease will not make your car faster it will just change the handling characteristics depending on the thickness of the oil you use. You want to go faster you need a larger motor pinion gear or higher volts, 3s lipo.

[@maiainfooficial]

@@rccrazy Thank you mate👍 Could you tell me for a faster battery in addition to the 3s ratio of pinion and crown number? To put on this engine? Thanks

[@rccrazy]

I believe if you turn the motor mount around 180° it allows you to install a 20t pinion gear without any modification. If i remember correctly the motor gear is mod0.6 so try google (20t mod0.6 pinion gear 3.175mm) You should get some results👍 Diff ratio is a little different and I have not looked into that for ANY cars

[@maiainfooficial]

@@rccrazy Obrigado

[@luismanueldlgarza9868]

Friend... where did you get the suspension and the battery to make the modification? .. it was perfect .. very good speed and you have a good handling of the vehicle... Regards!!

[@rccrazy]

Thank you Luis👍 The shocks came off one of my wltoys 144001 and the battery would've come from ebay Australia. I know these specific batterys are getting harder to find now but most 850mah 3s lipos should fit. Shocks are available everywhere I would imagine, try Aliexpress, they should have them.

hi, about the shock absorber you got from the 144, i see that in the 144 they have different sizes, which one did you use: front or rear?

[@rccrazy]

I think I used the rear, I would recommend using the front ones (short ones) the rears are a little too long for these cars.

[@reneledz]

That’s awesome!! Can you add a motor fan to it?

[@rccrazy]

Yes definitely can add a fan but honestly the stock motor is very capable and didn't need a fan😃

[@rccrazy]

Your welcome, and thank you😁

[@petervenner2450]

I'm absolutely loving your videos brother!! I have the same truggy, heavily modified and the thing is a weapon! Just curious if you run diff oil or lithium grease in these diffs?? My truggy is made by a different company but it's the exactly the same build. If I'm not mistaken, the diffs are not sealed with an o-ring so can diff oil still be used in them? I've been running Lucas white lithium grease in mine but had issue with a few of the front diff teeth deteriorating which I think was from running 25mm wheel spacers and larger wheels (too much weight and stress on the diff gears). Any help would be greatly appreciated brother! Keep ripping!

[@rccrazy]

Thanks mate glad your enjoying some of my content🙂 Yes I am running diff oil on the internal gears, 30k rear 50k front. I didn't notice if my 3 rigs had o-rings but I wouldn't imagine so, no oil coming out yet so seems fine to me. You can use grease but the problem with it is it doesn't run like oil so once the centrifugal force have pushed all the grease to the diff walls there are voids around the gears no longer lubricating them.

[@petervenner2450]

@@rccrazy Amazing! Thanks for the quick reply and I'm going to take your advice and swap out the grease for some 30 and 50k oil to see how it feels on that setup! Hopefully the oil will help preserve my diff gear teeth too! Keep the awesome content coming!

[@rccrazy]

You are very welcome and great to hear your going to try my preferred set-up, it may not be exactly what you need but its a good place to start with diff experimenting😊 Make sure to keep putting grease on the diff crown and pinion gears though, I rarely have issues with the internal diff gears it's always the crown and pinions🤦

[@mattcostello2204]

I have a SU CHI YU brushless ‘sweep’ which looks like yours in the vid and needing some spare parts. My son bashed it a little hard and lost a wheel off it - couldn’t find the wheel nut or the hub pin. Have you got a link for anything that would work? Also a link for some oil filled shocks. Thanks legend Matt

[@rccrazy]

For some reason I can not find any stock wheel nuts or pins on the spare part listing's🤔 You can just use standard 1/10 nuts and pins though.

[@rccrazy]

Well as I said in my other reply if your 2in1 board has no tabs you can run the stock system on 3s. But in this video I was using a proper stand alone 45a esc and dumborc radio system. Any 45a or 50a esc will work.

[@bjburt1835]

Anyone found a good way to replace the body mount posts on these little cars?

[@magnusstone]

Does anything bind up using the wltoys suspension, or is it all good? I know you have a lot of experience with these cars. Which shocks do you recommend?

[@rccrazy]

The shafts do bind a bit if you use the longer 70mm rear wltoys shocks, I use the front shock all round on this car, they are 65mm and that seems to be about maximum shock length with no shaft binding👌

[@angesrcs]

Wow. 81km. That’s impressive. Can you up the gearing?. If your saying the motor is still cold. And are the diffs full metal?. 👍🏼🚗

[@rccrazy]

Yeah man it's crazy, I was not expecting to gain over 20kph🤘 I would have to slot the motor mount but I have done it on these mounts before so yes could definitely gear up maybe 5-6teeth. And yeah all metal drivetrain and diffs👌

[@elmenor732]

I want to do the same setup was looking at 1500mah 120c zeee battery is that ok or should i stick with the 850 100c?

[@rccrazy]

The 850mah are perfect size so basically all 1500mah 3s lipos would be too big for the actual battery bay. Some people want long run time so they strap a bigger lipo on the top centre brace. Personally I much rather sacrifice a little run time for a lighter car, not prevention but a little less chance of damage. But also, by raising the lipo which is a heavy component you raise the centre of gravity, top heavy means more chance of rolling in turns. Apologies if you already knew all this😁

[@user-mc4si4fy3d]

Awesome :) I wanted to ask some questions :1. is that car waterproof? 2. Does it worth to change to aluminium parts? 3. What length you need from the shock absorbers? 4. What cst oil you need for those? Thank you

[@rccrazy]

Not sure about water proof but people have used them in water. Most of the plastic parts are fine, plastic can flex preventing other parts failing, lighter and much cheaper if you need to replace. Best shock length would be 60mm front and maximum 70mm rear. Personally for this size car I would use 40-50w oil or 600-800cst.

[@user-mc4si4fy3d]

@@rccrazy thank you for your help 🙏🙏

[@LineGrunt860]

The water fried my radio control board. It worked for a while but it started to stop randomly. I would stay away from water when possible.

[@rccrazy]

Great advice in my opinion, I don't like running my cars in water even if they claim 100% waterproof, you just never know what could happen when you mix water and electronics.

[@Perros1245]

Hey so you can connect the headlights to a channel too right ?

[@rccrazy]

I don't believe so unless you use a voltage dropper then to the receiver. If I remember correctly this car lights are maximum 3v and a hobby grade receiver BEC is 5-6v.

[@maiainfooficial]

Olá mestre , uma duvida relacionado a esse ESC que é um ESC + receptor junto original do RC 16101PRO. É possivel ou existe alguma maneira de fazer ele binar com outro controle sem ser o dele que vem de fábrica? Pois esse controle dele nao presta , falha muito rápido, a ideia seria usar o mesmo ESC e troca o controle

[@rccrazy]

No these 2in1 combos can not bind to a different controller, you have to have the correct receiver for whatever controller you want to use. Therefore you MUST change the esc and receiver because you cannot separate the stock 2in1 combo.

[@alberthernandez5886]

Hello what 2s battery do u recommend just to wake it up a bit and longer run time . And also any recommendations on a fan setup ?

[@rccrazy]

Hey Albert👋 So basically if you get a higher C rated 2s you should gain a bit of speed but mostly punch, at the same time increasing the capacity will give you a slight increase at the top end. So saying that however big you can fit in the tray and like 70C or higher will be best. I think 2200mah 3s is the largest I run in mine so you may find some 3000mah 2s that will fit. And fans, anything with a high rpm rating, I think I use 35mm 21000rpm fans, unbranded.

[@alberthernandez5886]

[@mangosouljah]

Hey, I'm looking at doing some upgrades I would like to know what 3s battery you recommend without changing the motor etc and leaving everything stocks

[@rccrazy]

So first thing, if you have a esc 2in1 board that is held down by 3 screws I highly recommend not running 3s at all as it will almost definitely fail. If it has no tabs but is held down with double side tape and zip tie then you can run any 3s that fits.👍

[@mangosouljah]

Could you please suggest what esc to upgrade too, what one are you using exactly, cheers!

[@rccrazy]

I am now using a hobbywing 10bl50a 3s esc but to run a separate esc you must also use a hobby grade radio system, you can not use the original controller or 2in1 board with a separate esc like in this video.

[@mangosouljah]

@@rccrazy geez sounds like a bit of work, how would I program the new radio system to communicate with the original controller

[@rccrazy]

It's no work it's literally remove the old electronics and install hobby grade electronics. But I did say you can NOT use the original controller with a new esc, you NEED a new controller and receiver also.

[@NoroozKindle]

The 850mah 100 3s battery is so hard to find any other recommendations my friend?

[@rccrazy]

So sorry for the late reply. You can use any 3s that physically fits in the car/battery bay. A good brand recognition for these smaller lipos would be CNHL, great lipos!

Hey, I’m new to rc cars. How do I know which oil shocks to get for it? There are some on Temu with the size 59/51/5 mm.

[@Themlpg73]

Yeah ok great thanks. Is 30 euros a good price for them? I can’t really find shocks anywhere else.

[@rccrazy]

30 euro is a little high but not over the top. If you can be bothered looking, the stock shocks from the MJX Hyper Go fit perfectly on this car and I couldn't see them being more than 20 euro from most places, Aliexpress should have them.

[@rccrazy]

As I said in one of the other messages, most 2s upto 1500mah should fit and the 3s I personally use are ZEEE 850mah 100c 3s lipos, they fit PERFECT! And you can 100% run the stock set-up on 3s

[@proefficientsvision6325]

@rccrazy oh shit thats crazy i guess i might do just that so im assuming when u say 850mah u actually mean 850 and now 8500?? Cuz 8500 with 100c would definitely be bigger lol

[@proefficientsvision6325]

@rccrazy also another? Is all 3s 11.1V..i kno the stock is 7.4 does that matter?

[@rccrazy]

@proefficientsvision6325 yes 3s is 11.1v and 2s is 7.4v. That is the general rule if you want more speed you go more volts, as long as the system can handle it! Not all but some so called 2s 2in1 boards can run 3s because the manufacturers have under speced the capabilities because of safety reasons, it's always better to have backup power/current that you don't use to make sure nothing fails or gets overworked. Example A motor rated at 30a on 7.4v should always run with a 30a or higher esc on 7.4v to ensure the esc does not fail if it ever surpasses 30a. Bigger wheels, overgearing, over voltage can all cause these issues if your not aware of the system specs.

[@rccrazy]

@proefficientsvision6325 yes 850mah is 850😅 Mah or milliamps is the capacity of the battery, how much time/current it can store. In general a 850 to1000mah 3s will be around about the same size as a 1500mah 2s.

Can't the original ESC handle 3S? I saw a listing on Amazon for the same car from a different vendor claiming that it can, i just recently bought one of these during aliexpress's recent 11.11 sale and managed to get it for 66$ which even on 2s is quite a crazy price point for a 1:16 scale that does nearly 60km and with many metal parts I've also bought some 11.1v 1100mah batteries for it as the ones i have are way too big, i haven't received the car yet but if the stock ESC can really take 3s and potentially do 80+k then that's some amazing value even at the normal price of 90-100$.

[@CurioShorts_italia]

Do you think that motor will hold 60a esc 3s or not? Or 45a is enought

[@rccrazy]

Most brushless motors will run on any esc as long as it(the esc) is high enough amps. A esc is what provides the power, it pushes power into the motor, the motor doesn't pull power from the esc so it's always better to have a higher amp esc so it can always provide enough amps the motor needs to perform at its best. But this 45a esc on 3s will be fine for a long time but 60a will most likely give the car better punch and possibly a little more speed. PLEASE stay away from Surpass escs, they are ALL terrible. Get a good quality esc (Hobbywing or equivalent) and you will have a much more responsive and reliable car.

[@rccrazy]

By the sound of it you do not have a proper balance charger just the usb one that comes with the model right? You need to get yourself a hobby grade lipo charger, they have storage mode which means it only charges the lipo to its SAFE storage voltage, that being 3.8v to 3.85v per cell. Storing them at low voltage is probably worse as they can drop below their safe minimum voltage and its hard to recover dying cells. The other way you could do it is charge the lipo drive your car for a while(10mins or so) then check the voltage with a lipo checker(cheap online) if each cell is close to or a little above 3.8v stop using it and you can store it. Every month or so check the cells and if they have dropped below 3.8v you will have to charge it and repeat that process until you get a good balance charger.

A better esc will help really bring that motor to life and you can install a 22t mod0.6 pinion to get more speed👌 You don't specifically need a 45a esc, I use the Hobbywing 10bl50a 3s esc, it fit just right and being 50a its got more potential than a 45a. When talking escs I do not recommend budget escs as many have bad glitches and delays so affordable for me is Hobbywing at the least. I definitely stay away from surpass/rocket escs, goolrc and hobbyfan as these are the worst on the market. And to your other question about the shocks, yes WLToys 144001 shocks, more specifically the front ones as they are 65mm from eye to eye, this is optimal for damage and stress prevention. Any shocks at 65mm or shorter👌

Oh sorry I didn't realise there was a 45a from hobbywing. That will be fine👌
