JLB Cheetah - Repair Bench Queen-NEW LOCATION & THE WORST body shell reinforcement method!

When the parts of a bearing are the only thing left, that screams. GREAT BASHING!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Very true! Haha. Thanks my friend!!

[@Rc_Alex_76]

Learned something here measuring bearings thanks man.

[@DerbyCityRC]

You’re welcome!!

[@janhummler490]

You can try a ball head screw like on the Tamiyas for that link. Perhaps it'll just pop off instead of snapping.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Great suggestion! I’ll see what I can find. It actually popped off 3 times before snapping on the 4th!! The original links never did that. Only since I had to replace the one side, the new ones do it consistently. Cheaper plastic or bad casting I guess!!

[@charleschamberlain53]

You warned me about the cold a few days ago wish I took your advice

[@DerbyCityRC]

Uh oh! Ya that cold is pretty brutal! What happened??

[@charleschamberlain53]

@@DerbyCityRC hit some ice spun out and into the curb Damage was stearing components So I've ordered all aluminum parts for the 9200e 9206e and the 200e

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ouch!! Just be careful with aluminum cuz that can cause damage too. But I bet those cars will handle much better with it!!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

That JBL Cheetah does not want to be bashed!😝 very good effort on your part, not so much on the cars end. I’m gonna guess the hbx 2995 is your favorite to bash!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Poor cheetah isn’t finished getting bashed yet!! Bam! You got it!! You’ll see why the 2995 is my favorite very shortly. Wow is it a beast!!😎👍👍😂

[@Deimos000]

Cold weather or perhaps the brace?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Cold weather definitely. Also the newer link’s plastic is less flexible than the old. The brace has been on for much longer. If it wasn’t for that brace I would have lost my rear bulkhead a few times over. Thanks for watching!!

[@AndrewKellman]

I need those bearings too. Destroyed the left rear one in mine

[@DerbyCityRC]

Same wheel mine blew out in! The ones I have linked in the description should be better bearings. I haven’t installed them yet, though.👍👍

[@AndrewKellman]

@@DerbyCityRC I'm going to order them soon. I picked up that aluminum rod at home depot today and I'm going to make the strut brace like yours for mine. I've bent so many shock towers is isn't funny.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Awesome! Definitely worth it. 👍👍

[@Max.Mustermann.]

hi there :) maybe you can help me out :) i have an cheetah 120A my problem is the Motor its way to powerfull... everytime i push it to its limits the motor mount starts slipping and messing with the gear mesh i tightend the screws with more force then i would trust them .... i tried some loctite to stop the Motor Mount from slippin but everything i tried wont work ? do you have a trick for me ? i was thinking about slightly longer screws for more "pressure" on the motor mount ? maybe support the motor to stop it from moving ? great videos :) keep em coming :)

[@DerbyCityRC]

Hello! You could try new screws that have a better bite. Can’t remember if I did that on mine or not. Could also try shoe goo under the motor. Will make it hard to remove or adjust in the future though. Try red loctite?

[@Max.Mustermann.]

@@DerbyCityRC thanks for the fast response :) i was thinking about something like a shroud/bracket fixed to the chassis itself :) but before that (because it would be some work haha :D ) im goin to try longer screws and red Loctite :) Thanks o/

[@DerbyCityRC]

No problem! Thats definitely one of the issues I’ve had to. The motor moving. Even bent a motor mount once. Shoved some foam under the motor but not sure how much that helped.

[@jjcrickpantsfranklin8087]

My cheetah front wheel seems to be stuck. I guess just wiggle it off huh

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes. Each wheel is difficult to pull off for the first time. Wiggle and gently tap axle with a hammer while pulling is what I did.

[@Fabiohobby]

make more videos of this cart please?

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’ve got several videos with this car already. Have another one planned for the next month or two also.

[@Fabiohobby]

how many minutes does the battery last using it at maximum?

[@Fabiohobby]

I bought one I'm waiting for it to arrive I'm really looking forward to the 80a version what do you think of this model?

[@DerbyCityRC]

It’s been a while, but I think 15-20 minutes.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I haven’t used the 80amp version so I can’t say. Have you seen all of my videos in this car? I have a lot of tips and tricks that would probably help you out on your cheetah journey

[@iainlangley]

I'm guessing your favourite is the 2995?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Got it! Love that thing!!

[@stradale1310]

Tbh Cheetah is a good basher if you have some upgrades to it. For the plastics I heard that you can spray it with WD40 and let it dry and it absorbs into the plastic and makes it a little bit more flexible. Maybe you should try it out? Btw my brother crashed my Cheetah into the fence and it broke the bumper and esc unglued from the chassis, bumper broke on the lower section

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya if those links continue to be an issue, I’ll try the metal ones. It would have been much worse if not for my chassis brace so I agree, it definitely needs upgrades. I’ve already done a lot lol. They’re price is a bit steep now for sure! 💰 That stinks! I’m on atleast my 3rd bumper!

[@stradale1310]

@@DerbyCityRC so you will try WD40?

[@DerbyCityRC]

I keep meaning to and forgetting lol. I’ll probably do a video on it 😃 Some kind of off-car experiment and then a real field test!

[@samoanpride753]

Kraton?(:

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup! The cheetah would never be able to handle that landing lol

[@DerbyCityRC]

I don’t mean Kraton is my favorite actually. Lol. Just that it’s the only one that I think could land that jump down that stairwell of horrors!

[@donv370]

Let's see, perhaps your favorite is the HBX 16889.

[@DerbyCityRC]

It is actually my HBX 2995. Shh 🤫 don’t tell!! 😀

Damn that things not worth the cash at all .. wicked big ripper etc but damn she brakes every 5 mins it looks like . Sick video bro . I. Was wondering how these cheetahs were!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Absolutely agree. Really is in my top favorite cars as far as how fun they are when working properly, but yes unless you’re just walking it down the sidewalk with a leash. She’s no good 🤣🤣!

[@derrickdelosreyes9833]

Your favorite rc is the Kraton 6s

[@DerbyCityRC]

It is not! It’s in the top 3 for sure, but the HBX 2995 (with brushless upgrade) is my favorite right now!

[@kamakazirc2829]

Wow you really destroyed yur cheetah lol 🤣 That's why we call them BASHERS

Lol yup! Mine has been having more issues than usual lately. Probably the cold weather. Such a fun car though!! 😀

Its a terrible rc car, too many videos showing how bad it is, might aswell buy a arrma 4s truggy

Yes it is. Absolutely terrible. I know it didn’t do great in this video but it got worse and worse.
