What is the size for the pinion gear motor

This looks like some fun been researching this rig. Thanks for the info

the flysky you have has a really good built in gyro, why you buy a extra one?

[@MyRCChannel-CJScott]

I didn't buy an extra... although I may if I like it. I bought a different make/model to try it out. I wasn't pleased with how the gyro performed and didn't feel that it added anything to the experience. BUT, the truck was over-sprung and wasn't handling well as a result. It seems the 1/10 scale SCT springs were to much, even the softest ones... I'm going to swap the shocks for a set of aftermarket 1/10 shocks that have the standard 1/10 spring diameter so I can experiment with TLR & Associated springs.

Nice video and I learned a lot of experience but my friend can you help me out I have the same rc exactly and I want to upgrade the servo but I don’t know the size of it

[@durrance008]

The stock servo saver comes very loose. Did you verify it was the servo moving and not the saver? I had to tighten mine way down.

[@MyRCChannel-CJScott]

I think mine is tight, but I'll check it out to eliminate and suspect areas. The trucks steering seems much improved with the new servo.

hi! do you know, can I use 4s battery on this car!?

[@MyRCChannel-CJScott]

Yes, you'll need to get a programming box for the esc to switch it from 3s to 4s. The esc is made by HobbyWing. There's a manual way to do it by listening to beeps or tones, but I've never done it so I can't advise.

Great video on the car. Do you think this car and handle high speed with faster motor? I saw a kit version without electronic on sell for only $100 and was wondering if i could fit different electronic from the stock one and make it go 60mph or more 😅😅.

[@MyRCChannel-CJScott]

Have you ever driven an rc car off-road at over even 50mph? They are completely uncontrollable. For a 1/10 scale vehicle, 50mph is a scale speed of 500mph! Also, there are very few places where you have enough room to go that fast on reasonable smooth ground. And, at those speeds, these cars become a weapon... if a 10 pound mass hits someone or something at even 50mph, results in a force of 3,345 N of kinetic energy or 752 pounds-force. Imagine the front of a buggy hitting someone in the ankle with 752 pounds of force... imagine it hitting someone's pet. I'm not trying to lecture... I think the car is a much better deal as a RTR... you get a motor, ESC, receiver, transmitter, servo, and a lipo & charger. You can't buy half that stuff for $100. You'll probably spend more than the cost of the roller to finish it off.
