Very cute rc car! (Banggood or aliexpress rc car?) Greetings from mexico city my friend.

[@angesrc]

Hello Michael. Thankyou for watching. I purchased this car from a local hobby store here in Australia. 👍🏼🚗

What’s the extra connector on the battery for is the other connector a T deans

[@angesrc]

That is the balance plug for when you charge the battery in balance mode . It makes sure all your cells are charging equally. You would need to buy a balanced charger for this to work.

@@angesrc ah I see thanks 💪

@@Bikebros27 no probs👍🏼🚗

[@markomatijevic211]

What are the wheels and tyres your using bro?

[@angesrc]

Hey mate, they are from my hpi trophy flux buggy. I put them on temporary with 17mm hub adapters to see how they look. Cos I’m waiting on new white ones like on my trophy now.

This looks like it has the exact same diff's, pinions, front and rear bumpers and most likely the chassis as well as my Himoto E10 truck. I'm having issues with mine since I rebuilt it last week, I bought a slightly bigger pinion to gear it up, mesh with the spur is perfect but under load full throttle it grinds, yesterday removed that pinion, and replaced with a new stock pinion, perfect mesh again and same shit happens! Under load it doesn't like it at all, I hate the plastic motor mounts on these, no adjustability at all, not sure if your one here is the same. I pretty much given up on the pos, spent hours removing and installing the motor on all the different hole positions in the plastic mount, retesting multiple times.

[@philthyco1]

This has a metal motor mount

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

@@philthyco1 my himoto doesn't, and its exactly the same chassis, got a link to a metal one? Cause the E10MT plastic mount is a round disc shape and has no adjustability at all

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Got a link where I can get a motor mount for your model FTX Ange?

[@angesrc]

The only one I could find is this one in the UK www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ftx-Vantage-Carnage-Banzai-Motor-Mount-Ep-1Pc-/353715455371?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0

Man those diffs are the product of evil😖 As soon as I realised all these brands use the same diffs as VRX I avoided them all at once! And the esc frying the RX, iv had that happen to a $90 Spektrum RX, was so devastated😭

[@angesrc]

I agree 100%. I have one more spare diff which I am saving for the VRX.🤣. It was shimed and all!. Yeah annoyed about the rx. But I would be devo too if I spent that much on a spectrum rx. 😩😩.

[@rccrazy]

@@angesrc yeah mate once that diff decides to say by by the I think it's time for a BASHER😆🤘

[@angesrc]

@@rccrazy your not wrong. I took the cobra out the other day just for a quick run up and down the road. Lightly hit the gutter and broke the chassis behind the front metal plate. I’m like. That’s it!!!. I’m done with this car. 😡😡. Might make a carbon chassis for it. Where did you get your carbon plate from?

[@rccrazy]

@@angesrc eBay man😅 Yeah that sucks big time😕
