[@alantaylor353]

Thanks for sticking up for this amazing RC.. I was really disappointed in Kev doing that stupid video, he was a total Kevin.! I absolutely loved mine from day one, it took 5 minutes to snip a bit of material from the rear diffuser & then you can go flat out on 3S without any problems.! It's tyres are awesome too.!! I use them on my other 1/10 road cars now, they're especially good in the wet.! I'd avoid using them on salted roads because the springs, screws & driveshafts will rust quite badly.!.. Or at least rinse it off afterwards.! This car is sooooo smooth, agile, quick off the mark & fast as f***.!!! I honestly can't recommend them highly enough.! I've got a gorgeous Killerbody Nissan R-34 Skyline body in white on mine & it's just amazing.! That happened to my input shaft too, a lack of threadlock... Easy fix.!

​​​@@TomleyRC running over stuff is fine in itself (his money, also his content style is durability and viral video style carnage of rc's, what brings his viewers), but as a point to be made yet with an inacurrate reviewing, would see as less than good. i.e. what u said when people mistake quality and price, which are 2 seperate things (kyosho miniz or fms is cheap or cheap price, but still quality). Like when people buy $700 rc and when something goes wrong... they say its normal (ofc ppl will want to fix $700 rcs), but to say junk when its cheaper price and it breaks just as often (or even less often!), a double standard.

At the very least, they could put a piece of paper in the box telling you how to fix the gyro.

I agree. Shouldn’t still be an issue

[@Boogie_the_cat]

True, but I've read bad reviews on the MJX 14301 where some doofus didn't read the manual (most of us don't) and went an installed the gyro upside down because he didn't know you could reverse it digitally. And in the MJX manual, they TOLD you how to reverse the gyro. People don't read things. I've seen bad reviews for the awesome Felony saying "der, um, duuuh, da car don't go straight in reverse, I'm a big fat idiot" Not understanding the fact that no car with a gyro goes straight when reversing. People are idiots, and even when you print out the helpful bits on instructions, 9 out of 10 customers won't read them. People are dumb, dumb as hell.

@tomelyRC JUST SO YOU KNOW, I just got an HNR Wearwolf, and the gyro was set correctly! What was obvious tho, is that the box had been opened, and re-taped. Also, the zip ties that were supposed to have been holding the car to the box had been cut. Almost as if (get ready for it) they listened to YOU and opened them up to fix the problem. Car was banging around in the box from China to California for two months, but it survived and i didn't have to peel off the receiver on day one. You're a hero 🎉

[@fatboysrc2024]

Got hold of two of these. both had the revered Gyro. Both lost their servo after a few rubs. We uprated the servo on both cars. We also found that we would get side impact from drifting and this caused damage to steering knuckles. Now replaced with aluminium parts and it is a great car. Done a green and pink custom paint job.

[@saltwaterjunkie8582]

I don’t think Talbot is bad for RC at all! He may break everything he gets, but he almost always repairs it, and most of the time, does it on video. If you are a basher or looking to get into it, then you have to know that you are going to break stuff and have to figure out how to fix it. What I like is that Talbot shows the limits of each vehicle. He also gives us an idea of what types of landings and bashing is most harmful to the vehicles.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… for most people he’s not an issue at all.

[@winksley1981]

He didn't even use this correctly and then had the gaul to stand in the road shouting about how bad it was. It was an incorrect setting I grant you but he never revisited the car when he knew what was wrong.....just left his video up proclaiming it was crap.....feel bad for FTX tbh....they deserved better

Hey mate, I've been having a blast with this car for 2 weeks already and I experienced the same problem with the "input/output shaft" in the front. Just a question, when you screwed it back in did you use blue loctite or you just screwed it back raw? Thanks in advance

[@brendonhughes4580]

I personally wish you could buy all the rtr kits and build them your self but have the prepainted bodys and radio gear in the box, you could loctite and grease as you built them up and learn a bit as you go along. Presumably this would make the kits a bit cheaper and perhaps a better end result depending on engineering skill. (yes ive built the tamiyas in the past but they dont have ball races included on the whole, are painfully slow, and painting and stickering some rally car with livery arrggh)😅

One of the main reason why watching kev is just for pure entertainment. Like he doesnt bother understanding whats wrong with an rc car and just proceeds to destroy it minutes after because he already determinate it was junk. Thats why the rc community always say to not take what he says seriously

[@pfizzlemeadow]

I had to trim the body around wheels on mine! The stock wheels work totally fine, but if you don't trim the molding around the back wheel well it will also hit while ballooning and send into a spin. I also had the same issue with losing front drive! Soon as I did both, never happened again. Love the car

[@techspeedrc]

You do get these problems with dealing with Chinese companies. The company I worked for imported HSP cars which is where this car comes from, we had a batch of nitro trucks and 1 in 4 of them they had fitted the diffs in the wrong way round, so the trucks would only run backwards. It took many emails and a video to get them to understand the problem. At least being the importers we could test every one and rebuild them correctly. And a batch of large scale petrol cars from another company that would unbind the receiver when you started the engine. It took weeks to convince the factory there was a problem, then we had to open each one and swap out the receivers with new ones. I would hope that the new cars you've bought were from the first batch and have been sitting on a shop shelf. Once the problem was discovered I should expect CML to open them up and test that the gyros are set correctly before sending out to the shops, so all models sold after you told them should have been checked and corrected as the cost in time and money is less than the cost of dealing with the customer complaints and telling shops and customers how to fix it.

Is there a way to set end point on the transmitter for steering? Not dualrates. Thanks

[@TomleyRC]

Not end points that I could see, but you can adjust the dual rate. I turned it down a little for the 3s runs

[@ryurc3033]

I have seen several videos of people adjusting end points. But few are very clear(or in English). Someone should definitely make a video about how to set it up, because I know it's possible. (Or maybe give us access to the "tuning software" that plugs into the side with a mini USB. I know it exists, we just don't get it outside of Hong Kong..... Just my theory

If you're in the UK getting the Dumbo RC doesn't make sense. The Etronix EX6G is the exact same. Same specs, same everything. It probably works out wee bit dearer but you don't have to wait weeks for delivery. Which in my eyes, that a big plus straight away.

Interesting. I bought an original (awesome lil HBX) Ravage after seeing your video and fitted an aftermarket gyro as per the manufacturers instructions (as my run area in very loose dirt/fine gravel).

I am not a fan of KT, he does good videos and of course people love him.. For me I got over the appeal of watching someone treat RC cars terribly and then making a claim that the RC car must be poor because it doesn't survive a 40mph jump 40 feet in the air at a concrete skate park.. However he does have a point, the car should not be like that out of the box and as it is now with the gyro reversed it will be impossible to drive,. As a side note I kept hearing him slagging off the UK and his move to the Isle of Mann which is really just a tax avoidance exercise, if the UK is so bad he can go and go riddance, not interested in all that nonsense, just want to enjoy and learn a bit about this hobby we all love.

Ok, one question... what's with that rear wing? The angle on it makes it look like it's on backwards. Anyway, it's an easy fix, but this is why I don't like integrated gyros. I'd rather either have a separate unit or no gyro at all.

[@human4491]

If Kevin didn't catch the issue, how is someone buying their first RC supposed to figure it out? If it is an "RTR", I think it needs to be reviewed it AS IS out the box - that's how the majority of people spending their money are going to experience it, especially the newbies, and it would suck for them to be put off from the hobby.

Also, did you run foams on your previous 3s speed runs, cause in my experience foams are usually a bit smaller in diameter than standard rubber tyres, even before trueing. That could explain the difference in top speed. Top video though, and a bit of positivity for what seems to be a great, budget "street basher".

@TomleyRC One of my favorite Kev moments was when he took a buggy to the local indoor track that I saw you race your Tamiya BBX at. He put it into the wall after hitting a jump FULL SEND. The poor marshal could've been seriously injured but I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂

Some people may remember the days in the hobby when RTR was a dirty word!! Granted the offerings back then were all brushed and entry level, to get youngsters into the hobby. Nowadays there's so much RTR to choose from, and kits are destined for the traditional hobbyist model builders who have the time to build them to their satisfaction. Also, gyros are good for beginners in RC, but you shouldn't rely on them and not improve your driving skills before upgrading to faster motors and more powerful ESC's.
