@@oldmandoingstuff8997 Thankyou so much, I'm glad that my videos have helped you out. Exactly my aim was to cut out any rubbish and actually show people. how to do what they look to do, to make it a bit easier and take away any hesitation on working on these things. At the moment I'm on RC cars but I will change and start doing videos on loads more things like camping, cooking easy meals, Playing guitar, carpentry, That's why my channel. is called Does What It Says.... if it does what it says I will say so or show you how to improve it so it does. It's not just for RC stuff. Thanks again for your comment, and have an awesome day my friend.

[@jstenstrom]

First of all - a huge thanks for the informative, non bs, non self promoting content! And an even bigger thanks for not yelling all the time, which seems to be the KZbin standard these days. I’m currently waiting for both the 14301 and the 14303 to arrive. 01 for me and 03 for my son. 😁 The plan is to use the 14301 as a project platform for teaching my kids how everything works as they’ve started to show a lot of interest in the technical and mechanical stuff. For starters, we’re swapping the transmitter/receiver to a DumboRC and the esc to a Hobbywing 10BL60 to (hopefully) eliminate the input lag and overall quirkiness of the stock esc/reciever. We’re definitely doing the diffs/drivetrain as well. Looking forward to more videos! 🙌🏻

Very good advice about how to handle the screws and not to mix them up. I had that issue when I opened up my Maverick Strada XB. I had no idea that there were three or four different types of screws... Lesson learned now.

[@TheITP21]

This is a great helpful video but I have a question about greasing the differentials and other gears, could you use WD40 oil instead of grease? Or am I making a mistake by greasing like this. Please I need an answer

[@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce]

wd40 is not ideal and should not really be used. In the diffs there are small rubber seals, wd40 will eat away at these leading them to fail. silicone based oils should be used for this as they are rubber friendly. A good thing to remember is if it spins use oil and if it rubs use grease. What a lot of RC guys do is make sure that all oils and grease they use are silicone based and therefore safe to use. You can get a moly grease as long as it's not petroleum based and is RC friendly or you can use a white lithium grease. Plenty of stuff out there, Google is your best friend on this but I hope I helped out a bit with my answer 👊

[@TheITP21]

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce So can I use silicone grease for the oil dampers and all the other gears and differential or lithium grease for everything? Or should I buy different greases of various types for each thing? I know I ask a lot of questions but I'm new to the RC hobby and I'm going to have this RC car and some others and I want to be sure what I'm going to do to my cars.

[@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce]

@@TheITP21 Hi buddy, it's fine. Silicone oil in the shocks and the sealed diffs. the oil in the diffs is thicker than the oil that goes in the shocks but it is still a silicone oil. There are loooooads of videos on what thickness oils to use in the shocks and the diffs so look up shock oil, and diff oils. White lithium grease can be used on the gears. Again if you look up RC grease there are plenty of videos on this too. You will learn more doing this than what I can explain here. good luck bud 👊

WD-40 isn't grease or oil. It is a water displacer (WD). It will remove grease.

hello sir, been watching your video couple of times now, just got my own MJX 14303 & some silicone lube which is 3000cst & 6000cst(is it okay though?)..can u advise which lube should i use the one the front and back?

[@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce]

Heya mate, it's all a rough starting guide, so you can change the oils to what works best for your model. So lower in the rear and higher in the front. 3000 rear and 6000 front. it all affects the handling, so if it corners and wheels spin at the front then change the oil on your next maintenance the heavier at the front. it's all trial and error untill you get it how you like and part of the fun 👊

Do the differentials require grease in them after you fill them in with the silicone oil or will it run fine? Someone else put a tad bit of grease in the diffs to lubricate them.

@@jamesbrooker6508 Sometimes these are stuck fast, you may have to just grip the red brace with pliers or 5 hole grips.

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce any tips for making handling slightly better in a straight line lol

[@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce]

@@jamesbrooker6508 yeah change the tyres to road tyres, what it comes with are for dirt/small gravel. the steering servo is not the best, so could be something else to keep in mind. Have to remember, these are not high end, but they can be upgraded to handle pretty good. Shocks play a part too, stiffen up the rear more than the front to keep grip to the front, if the rear of the car drops when accelerating, the front of the car becomes lighter, with them being AWD the front wheels. Will tend to slip a bit more, if one front wheel slips. more than the other could. be making it turn slightly.... Loads to. think. of really, all depends on a. lot of. factors, like what surface your running on too. plenty of vids around explaining how to set up shock oil to. front and rear too, may be worth spending some time on KZbin, get it set up correctly with differential oils and tyres to suit the surface and go from there.

[@NoodlesNJ1]

Very informative, however, everytime I leave a a constructive criticism comment, you delete it, others can learn from others constructive criticism, and it will show you are partial. Alot of the support brace screws have way too much thread lock, it helps to heat up the screw driver tip to break the seal so the screw doesn't strip. My advice to anyone heavily getting into the hobby is to invest in a good set of MIT tools. MJX Shocks also greatly improve with 80wt Oil. I own almost every brand, been in the hobby for 40 years, building and tearing apart cars.

I'm not sure about heating up the end of a screwdriver to loosen the screw, But I have never done it that way, if I found this to difficult I would heat the brace bar the other side of the screw, as we all know metal expands when heated, then I would hold an ice cube on the screw head to cool it, reducing the size of the screw, and releasing the grip of the lock tight.
