Hi, I got the dbx-07 all sorted out. 👍

[@PlancksTime]

What is the best diff oil to use for front and rear diffs in the dbx07?

[@rcmadlabz2492]

I’m running the Arrma 1250kv motor, 6s. 16 tooth pinion. I have found that for my set up, 150k front diff oil, 50k rear diff oil, and 50/50 blend in the center diff of 1 million and 500k oil works perfect for how I use/run my custom DBX-07. *The biggest improvement was converting to the Arrma suspension/driveshafts….it completely eliminated the mistakes ZD Racing has with the model.

I've watched yours and many other posts on the DBX 07 and was looking forward to fixing it's issues, however it's turned into frustration! I've tried to simply change out the wheel bearings but can't remove the 2.5 grub screws that hold the hubs in place! I even just tried putting a soldering iron in there and they still won't budge as I think their held in with red Loctite! So how is everyone else dealing with this issue? I'm at the end of trying and have stripped 2 of them now and thinking I'm best to just take it to a hobby store and get them to sort it! I look forward to hearing your advice as in all the videos I've watched, nobody has mentioned getting these grub screw out was an issue... Thanks in advance.

Butane micro torch..yes there is an abundance of red thread lock everywhere. Those grub screws need to be heated a lot to break down the thread lock. You’ll know when they are heated enough, as the thread lock will smoke a little bit and the grub screw will very easily un thread. The motor mount screws, center driveshaft support and center diff mount screws, all need to be hit with the high heat from a butane micro torch to be removed easily.

@@rcmadlabz2492 thanks heaps mate, much appreciated but what a pain! 🙄 I'll try again. Thanks for the quick response. 👌

[@rcmadlabz2492]

@@stevestanton8281 yes, it’s a pain. Pretty sure they used a paint brush soaked in red thread locker for most of the screws. *Fair warning…you’re going to want to get creative when installing the bearings into the wheel hubs. (The hubs are oversized/bigger than the bearings…which leaves a lot of play)

@@rcmadlabz2492 yeah I'm hearing you but it's hard to deal with when you're only new at RC... I'm already in for over a grand Australian with the conversion rate... Seriously if I knew all this before I wouldn't have bought this model. What's your thoughts on a "easy" to work on 1/7 scale desert racer? Arrma Mojava??? As this DBX 07 sadly HAS ZAPPED MY ENTHUSIASM for rc... 😔

[@rcmadlabz2492]

@@stevestanton8281 Oh My Gosh!! For sure, yeah..you picked a model that has many complex issues, that was a bit challenging even for Myself to sort out! *The Arrma Mojave is much easier. Nothing at all compared to the DBX-07.

[@MRCG68]

all those mods still not help him to be good , its jsut an ok car for sunday drivers and regarding new price and mods etc i real still prefere to take hobao mt2 and put the zd body on it hiihihih

[@rcmadlabz2492]

It was a challenge and fun to build….🤓. Yes, I really like your Hobao Mt2. The new version of the dbx-07 I have built works great for my expectations. *Its a “Desert Buggy” that has a lot going for it now….Not at all like an Xmaxx or Mt2.
