Unboxing Silly Fast & Cheap - Any good? Jumps & Crashes JLB CHEETAH

[@cagelexi8954]

I have the worst luck! I bought this a week ago (expensive to me), It arrived yesterday. I unboxed it, plugged it in and drove it for the first time! Was exillerating! The look on my son's face was priceless. First RC car. About 4-5 minutes in, I drove up the street to test the range and it died at max range. As I was walking towards it when I saw a truck coming...my son yelled "waitttt" My walk became a run! But RIP. Didn't make it in time! My son stared balling his eyes out like he lost a puppy as we ran to see if it survived. Was completely destroyed. Can't afford another atm unfortunately.. Looked into the parts, would need to buy the whole kit at $220 or upgrade to metal parts for about the same. Very unfortunate, was the best 5 minutes of our lives 🙏

What I like most is that the brake lights actually work. If you look close you can see that they're dim when it's just rolling along but when Kev hits the brakes they turn bright.

[@WildCaptures]

I’ve had a Cheetah for 2 years and it still works great, I just upgraded the ESC and servo but they still work. The original servo is a little slow and the esc is NOT waterproof.

[@brettdurkee9701]

I have been running a 120a Cheetah and 120a J3speed "Cheetah" for over a year now. Love them both. Extremely tough and extremely fast with all parts easily ordered. The J3 is faster than my buddies new Erevo 2.0. I am a huge Traxxas fan with a sizable Traxxas collection as well as many others. Always enjoy your videos Kev!

damaged first day of bashing... killed for good in about a month. In the same time I have nearly 30 other cars that didn't die. I don't recommend JLB or DHK or any gear best/ banggood RC brand. Not worth it. Maybe if they were half the price?.. nah... not even then. I'd get Red Cat, Traxxas, Arrma, anything but these cheap Chinese company RC cars... they're just not designed well and don't hold up.

My 120v Cheetah arrived today. Bought it inspired by this video. I live in the Arizona desert, our property is flat dirt with rocks. Raised a bit of dust and flung dirt and gravel. It definitely can drift.

[@brettdurkee9701]

Heck, got more to say ... I also own a DHK Zombie 100a and DHK Maximus 120a. The JLB Cheetah 120a absolutely hands down destroyed both of them in quality, speed, and handling. I purchased both DHK's after I had my first 120a Cheetah and was very disappointed. I was going to buy a VKAR Bison also, and called it quits after many review videos. Why waste another $300. I will still buy one sometime as I just have to know for sure...after my 4x4 Rustler purchase. Yes, it takes a few weeks to get parts... Do some 60 mph cartwheels down the street for a few weeks and see what you break. Order 2 or 3 of those parts, wait a few weeks and bash for months. Highly recommend buying a JLB Cheetah 120a (comes with Hobbywing waterproof electronics) runs on 3s-4s and enjoy!

I had a Cheetah v1. The chassis is no different than the v2 or J3 Speed. Biggest downfall IMO is the rear pivot ball suspension. It gets loose and the truck drives poorly because the hubs and balls and sockets wear out, and the turnbuckles break.

Try the vkar bison 120Amp version is even cheaper than JLB

[@hashtaglobotomy2655]

From the looks of it the bison and dhk maximus/zombie end up having some issues with the front hinge pin brace. A person could always make their own and I think it would vastly improve it, but unless the companies fix that issue I'm sure they will get some hate. Now as far as rtr rcs go most electronics arr somewhat sketchy. A descent and cheap fs gt3c or rc4 gs radio n receiver help and you can get 60 and 120 amp hobbywing programmable escs for under 20 usd.. So the only thing left is a motor. Electronics don't bother me but serious core flaws def do.

[@excon4204]

Right on here we go.

[@balintregoczi7190]

What do you think? The vkar bison or the jlb cheetah is better?

[@glenwolfe8437]

I got 2 of these things now and they are the best rcs I ever had! I got the 4s versions. And I switched both to 19t pinions. It still wheelies like crazy, but it's a little more manageable. I also put xt90s on like Kevin and added a motor fan. Do yourself a favor and ziptie a nylon kitchen utensil to the rear shock tower and wheelie bar to prevent backflipping (set about 2 inches off the ground). This allows you to hold wheelies for 100ft! If you plan to add a 19t pinion it takes a 32 pitch 5mm bore. You have to drill the bottom motor mesher screw slot to be longer and you might need to cut away some of the gear cover.

Hi Kev! I already have this RC car (120amp). It is very fast &fun.I ordered it from GearBest and it took a litel while... Than I finally got it an I charged the battery and go for a spin. After 30sec may battery died. Than me and my dad opend it. There was melted solder in battery and we reapird it. 1 month after it the same battery almost exploded.

Its a bison vcar/t2m pirate furious but with metal plate underneath and brace for the shock towers. Very fun to drive, but a pain to take it apart when you blow the spur gear. And that will happen. Unless you buy the differential for the spur instead of the slipper clutch.

[@netcruzer]

I had a v1 cheetah, it's same chassis as your v2 or the J3 Speed. IMO the biggest weak point is the rear pivot ball suspension system. That gives too much play in the rear end when it starts to wear, everything gets all wiggly and loose and that makes for a poor handling RC at those speeds after awhile.
