I Made my RC Car Way FASTER!

[@TomleyRC]

Most 8th & 10th Scale RC Cars can be upgraded with these combos. (3650 = 540 Size, 3660 = 550 Size). Check your Shaft Size as well... oooo errrr 120A ESC: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Deq2Mjv 4500kv Motor: bit.ly/3RqC8qQ Less Crazy Motor Option: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDTAkEJ Cheap Combo for most 1/10 RC Cars: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEOh4zd

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Everyone keep in mind that: Blowing up your existing motor or ESC, (In order to upgrade) *Is highly encouraged*

[@oldmanbluntz]

F550 motors are equivalent to a normal 3650 or 540 for internals. Like F540 motors are equivalent to a 380 sized motor. The F is for finned.

[@TomleyRC]

@@GhostRyderFPV I second that

[@heclanet]

It's spectacular! One thing that would be great is that you add the speed in Km/h because there are some bums like me who don't bother to convert from m/h to Km/H 😂

[@francescocolangione6354]

Potrei chiederti se nel prossimo video modificassi la Ford puma rally

[@buildrestorecustomise2060]

I love how the rear squats under hard acceleration and the new motor and esc combo has accentuated that perfectly! Looks just like the real thing! Great videography as always 👍👍

[@cogboy302]

Back in the day (late '90s) I used to belt tyres myself. Turn them inside out and run a strip of duct tape around the inside of the tyre. Worked remarkably well to stop tyres ballooning. Fabric surgical tape also worked well.

[@mtiplin]

lol I did that to for some of my tires haha good ol’ 90s

[@michaeldorich4485]

This a very worthwhile video. It shows how you can easily and cheaply make a car faster and more fun. I think this will encourage people to upgrade their rc's. Great job.

[@TomleyRC]

Hopefully...

[@alankowalski8781]

I don’t think you can ever take it too far. For me, that’s what this hobby is all about. As far as rally cars, I think the HPI WRX FLUX, is the winner.

[@VestedUTuber]

I mean, if the car can handle it then sure. But each car has its limits, this one seems to have its limits at 4500kv on 2S, _maybe_ 3S with better tires and driveshafts and a better setup.

[@Average_Bruh]

You could lock the front diff. That would send most of the power to the front wheels, which would help keep it straight.

[@markcole6475]

Nice editing! The car performs awesome! Looks like all it needs now is a set of higher speed tires…..even tho I like the look of the factory ones.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Mark

[@2-STROKEFUN]

I think 2S suits that car perfectly. I think it’s pretty cool and realistic. Awesome action shots Tomley!

[@riothero313]

Those crashes were pretty realistic. It reminded me of Group B.

[@disciplinerc]

You had me at more power. The cam on body shots 😮 Beauty!!

Thanks dude :)

[@gerryk101]

Love the way you capture the video Good angles Looks epic on the dirt 👍

[@Del350K4]

I enjoyed seeing how cheaply it's possible to turn these into serious rally cars. Carisma definitely mis-specced this model, for some reason.

[@Benjamin_Reese]

😆 That's quite the speed upgrade.

[@silvertamman3218]

I have 60 amp surpass esc in my tamiya tt02 rally car and it takes small stones in the fan constantly. Super annoying! I clued speaker grille cloth over the fan and it helps. Also took out fan screws, so i can clean it whitout tools. Positive is, my fan looks like it went through hell with missing blades and busted bearing, but still runs and does it job!

[@workingclassperson2124]

In theory a faster RC is better but speed is nothing without control. But it’s always FUN when you realize an RC is simply to fast for its own good 😮

[@WCPRCModelsCraft]

Good looking shell and the power to match the looks

[@matthewbeeson5612]

The cinematography in this video is outstanding. Really enjoyable to watch. Did you film all of this on your own Phil? Congratulations on a superb video.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. Yeah... as with 99.9% of my stuff, it's a 1 man show. And a fair bit of 1 handed driving

[@PetrSedlacek]

@@TomleyRC Dang, you calling yourself a "crap driver" is adding insult to injury - I wish I could drive as well two handed as you one handed while getting those extremely cool shots at the same time...

[@anthroism26mc]

The pointer plus the fart sound was top notch

[@idjc2621]

I used an 80a on a 4500kv motor, and that was wild. You are mental for going 120a. In all fairness, it is larger than the RC I used.

[@chukwuebukaomemma]

Wow that was awesome, it was way more faster than before

[@TheUnknown714]

Bro that was insane how you doubled the speed on that. Kudos on an awesome job 🎉

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, crazy!

[@ruffriki3264]

The video editing is the clear winner here! 👍🏼

[@Pablo668]

Nice work Phil. That is quite the improvement.

[@fatboysrc2024]

Bought one of these and it was painfully slow. We also managed to kill the shock tower on the first run. Tookk your advice and got hold of a 3900KV Brushless with ESC from Amazon and now it goes like stink. Modified the shock tower and replaced with aluminium

[@petejones6827]

tbh i think its perfect no reason to go full throttle but the power and acceleration of the bigger motor is perfect for those rally style driving

[@1deadly187]

Love seeing what cool watch you will have on..

[@jonhoward7602]

Now I have to have one, nice video

[@hyperc5249]

HAHA That was awesome! Way to bring that rig to life. Carisma really dropped the ball on this rig. Terrible electronics and basic design all the way around. By the time you upgrade and buy the 3S battery you could have got the HPI WR8 or NEW CEN Ford Puma.

[@scaleworksRC]

Oh yeah, double the fun.. until you crash into something lol. I just got the Mini T back together and put a 4800kv motor in it. More docile and controllable, but I kinda miss the 6000kv insanity, but that's what breaks parts.

[@electricnitrorc]

Way better setup than stock. Wonder if Carisma even tested the car before production 🤔

[@BrendonakaShanks]

Power and speed solve many things! Powahh!!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it 100% does :)

[@Molekulasti]

Those "ribbed" F540 motors are actually smaller 28 mm diameter inside. It would go even better if you used a full size 540. That said, it doesn't lack in power, in fact, it seems like a sweet spot for the size of the car.

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

I was watching the Paddlesworth video today of their rally stage, the stock slow motor is designed exactly for that, narrow twisty rally stages but, like you I'd put a faster motor in too.

[@chadedwards5908]

Hey you doing? Love that Pac-Man watch,Awesomeness! 🎉 As always video is great & entertaining, I look forward to it all the time. 😊

[@bsea35]

I did something similar to my Tamiya Alfa GTV. It does wheelies now but is almost uncontrollable. Can only go 75% throttle.

I run a Mamba Max (the realy old one) mit 5400kv in my Tamiya TB-03, but only on 2S. I think on 3S the fun would not be much more, but the problems will increase.

[@gillian9178]

Those F540 - F550 motors are not the same as a traditional 540 - 550 motors, internally they use the smaller diameter rotor that is found in 380-390 size motors. The large diameter motor can is due to the external cooling fins, with a propper 36X can motor it would be even more ballistic lol. Those F series motor are around 800w, the true 3660 motors are 1200w. Just checked my shaft size, See what you mean oooo errrr.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, Can size for fitment is what I was referring to.

[@tobydyes]

the g-forces of the tires must be insane

The reason of specs out the box . Fun not destruction

Hi Tomley would be great to see a video of the upgraded carisma suburu against the Hpi Suburu with a speed & performance & Spec comparison & what is the better rallye car in the long run for the money which ever one has the better components ect cheers to a great review.

[@jonenglish6617]

Phil, could you play with the throttle rates on 3s to make it more controllable?

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah probably... but then you may as well just run 2s

[@cyrusshellard3905]

Good video but not worth the hassle when they should've just made the car better than it is in the first place

[@markcole6475]

Most rc models come with cheap slow esc/motor combos until you get up into the more expensive bashers or crawlers!

[@TomleyRC]

Upgrading is always worth the hassle :)

[@cyrusshellard3905]

@@TomleyRC I'd rather just buy the better car to begin with

[@davidmellish3295]

​@@cyrusshellard3905well not everyone can afford to buy the better car straight away,I'm lucky ,I've a decent job so I can,but 25 years ago when I first got into rc I couldn't afford to buy the best as I was young with no money,so I had to buy the cheaper option and upgrade as and when I could afford to. The way things are now in the UK since Brexit and the war etc nobody's got much spare cash,prices have doubled and when you've got mortgage/rent,gas,electricity, phone bill,water bill,TV licence, car,credit cards,petrol, clothes and most expensive..kids ,I think a lot of people who love rc are buying cheaper brands like wltoys, ftx,rlaarlo etc and doing them up as it's easier to pay in stages rather than £1000+ all in one go

I've never been a Subaru fan but that body style WRX has always been one of my favorite looking cars. That Colin McRae blue and gold still looks great. This is a dumb question but, are RC motors mounting holes standardized? Everything I have is RTR and haven't swapped motors.

What a beast, so what do you plan to do with it now ????

[@chrismooneyham5279]

Every cheap black motor I have had in the last three years ran quick but broke all the shafts on the pinion side right after it comes out of the can. Can't find replacement rotors anywhere. And esc's are a joke anymore under $50 usd. I'm just going to save a little and get good system.

[@PiePieR9]

Love that shell! Do you think it would fit the HPI WR8 flux? I don’t mind drilling new holes in it but just want to make sure the wheels will line up with the arches lol

[@kingnorlen]

I cant rly see why its this expensive, Carisma are usually on the cheaper side. For this price id much rather get a Tamiya XV02, LC Racing PTG, or a HPI WR8. All those are better options, the first two being cheaper but u need all electronics. BUT u will end up with a much better option chosing either of these three tbh!

I think the stock motor just didn't have the RPM it needed. 3300kv - 3500kv would probably be the sweet spot

@mark-1rc502 most ESC fires are bad connections. I've never had smoke come out. Only units that abruptly fail. So I would suspect a dead short in units that burn. And I feel like that is the battery connection at the solder join. Most of the time.

[@Droidy77]

The funny thing about surpass escs is that they are *comically huge* in a chintzy cheap kind of way. And the fan blows like a hurricane and a tornado having a disagreement. But they're cheap and work well for me so far.
