Upgrading Walmart RC Car w/ Hobby Grade Parts - Walkthrough

[@OB_RC]

You're an absolute mad scientist! Dr. Frankenstein for sure. This was such an informative and fun upload man. when I grow up I want to have your skills.😂

[@TestDriverRC]

@@OB_RC You con be anything you Dream of!! I’m Proof of that. I started as a Janitor at an airport taking out trashes and cleaning bathrooms, My Hard Work got me Promoted to Maintenance where I started working with tools and heavy machinery. They Promoted me again to Fabrication where I began making Aircraft Parts from scratch using Sheet Metal and Blueprints and installing them directly on the skydiving plane. That gave me enough experience to start making Jet Engine Turbines and Rocket Launches made from Composite for the Government. Then started Prototyping new Large Scale Drones for Companies like Northrop Grumman and SiriusXM (Both Launch into Space).. So if a Janitor can turn into an Aerospace Engineer… You Can Do Anything!!!

@@TestDriverRC wow that is truly inspiring! Amazing story

[@haywirerc]

From 10 minute car to 10 second car

[@TestDriverRC]

@@haywirerc Faster than it can handle

[@oi3]

epic nice work this one 1/10 too?

[@TestDriverRC]

This one is 1/18

[@jopwattel8669]

Nice work. Rubber wheels next time?

[@nickteele169]

Yeah man thats awesome. Love the adaptation. Now I'm curious about how long the tires would last. Great job

[@TestDriverRC]

@@nickteele169 The car isn’t heavy enough to wear the tires out quickly on a full trigger pull. It’ll just bounce off the ground until it grips

[@RCBirds]

Awesome job👍

[@TestDriverRC]

@@RCBirds Thanks Man, it was a Fun Build

[@RideRightRc]

Lol I thought I was the only one that did this, love the video

[@TestDriverRC]

@@RideRightRc I can’t just buy a car and know Everyone else would have the exact same one… You have to make it your own..

[@lylekehrer6159]

When I saw the Charger upgrade, off hand I didn't realize it was larger - until I actually seen one at Walmart. This is my other favorite from the first movie.. then the second there was the silver with the blue stripes ?was that a Skyline too? Then they kept adding some classics!

[@TestDriverRC]

@@lylekehrer6159 Silver with Blue stripes is a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 That is one of my favorite cars from the films

[@katiektentvods]

If I'd seen this video at the start of the year I wouldn't have entered the hobby and ended up with 10 mini t's and my own track

[@TestDriverRC]

@@katiektentvods You know… I did use all the electronics out of a Mini-t Just saying.. Sounds like a lot of conversations if you ask me..

[@mikecrystalrobert7898]

I was lazy an just swaped the body onto my old losi 2wd buggy

[@TestDriverRC]

@@mikecrystalrobert7898 i was thinking of doing something similar.. but I really wanted to keep it as stock looking as possible

[@RichardPicturesTTV]

hah nice work! i have a Twisted Metal 'Sweet Tooth' van RC that I want to upgrade but I'm inexperienced and for being a toy they're pretty expensive. i have a 2s ESC and motor laying around from a 1/10 scale Arrrma Gorgon that would make it riiip but i'm so scared of failing lol. Really unsure if the motor would fit. 550 motors are pretty big. Probably easier to just fit the body to something else.

[@TestDriverRC]

@@RichardPicturesTTV I think you should try a 380 motor and see if that fits better than the 550 That body would look awesome Our next project is a cop car to chase these cars around

[@RichardPicturesTTV]

@@TestDriverRC thanks for the suggestion, ill look in to it and look forward to the cop car!

[@TeamJunkYardDog]

Very cool!

[@TestDriverRC]

@@TeamJunkYardDog Fun Build Too

[@ShannonSouthAfrica]

Great channel

[@idrawupay6077]

Great video! Can you please post a parts list?

[@TestDriverRC]

Absolutely 👍 Just added one for you

[@albertdelbosco9686]

Great job runs great.find one with suspension

[@TestDriverRC]

Hobby Grade is where it’s at 👍 These were a Fun Experiment tho

[@ShannonSouthAfrica]

Is it possible to upgrade the tyres and suspension?

[@Sow-west_crawlers]

We did an upgrade on the 1/24 scale walmart cars!

[@TestDriverRC]

@@Sow-west_crawlers I was thinking of picking up a couple to try the same thing. How’d the upgrade turn out?

[@freepeople9508]

What controller did you use

[@TestDriverRC]

@@freepeople9508 I used the stock brushed transmitter that comes with the losi mini b 2-1 ESC receiver

[@heavystarch100]

I just needed a solution to the steering, thanks!! Now I can upgrade my rc Mach 5!!

[@LeoAustin-q1n]

Omg this amazing :D

[@asmitaahirrao4603]

Is it right - due to 2 in 1 esc you didnt need a second esc to run servo . It can run both servo and rear motor yeah ,Otherwise you would need two of them ?

[@TestDriverRC]

@@asmitaahirrao4603 The 2/1 ESC has a wire that plugs into your Receiver in the Throttle spot, But your Servo has its own separate wire that also plugs into the Receiver but in the Steering spot. You will power your system through the ESC also

[@asmitaahirrao4603]

@TestDriverRC is that so , thanks

[@vex6998]

Wold it be bad to keep the same ecu ?

[@TestDriverRC]

@@vex6998 the stock ESC only allows a certain voltage to flow through which wouldn’t give you much speed or throttle control.. I’d definitely recommend using a Hobby Grade ESC Most RCs use electric motors so no need for an Engine Control Unit (ECU)

[@brianruffing5654]

Maybe carpet race this!

[@TestDriverRC]

That body will snag every loose fiber and yank the car off the track on every turn 😆 Ok Let’s Try

[@Chuckfinlee432]

Thats weird, is this a version 2? Things look different. I've had 2 of these.

[@TestDriverRC]

@@Chuckfinlee432 these are the 1/16 scale versions. There are smaller 1/24 scale and larger 1/10 scale versions also

[@thattoyvehicleguy9000]

Saw the same one someone took out of the box at Walmart and it was 7 bucks off, i was tempted to get it and do something similar and even tested it in the store lmao

[@TestDriverRC]

@@thattoyvehicleguy9000 Did you get it?

[@thattoyvehicleguy9000]

I might a little bit later. It's been sitting there for some time though so I shouldn't wait too long

[@ChaseBelaski]

PVC pipe for tires and this thing should be good to go

[@TestDriverRC]

@@ChaseBelaski with the right throttle control you could hold some loooooooooong slides 🤔you’re giving me ideas

[@Chuckfinlee432]

This isnt the drift rc one is it?

[@TestDriverRC]

@@Chuckfinlee432 No this has Rubber tires

[@Rcdriftynoob]

I want to see you drift and rc car with Maximum negative chamber

[@TestDriverRC]

@@Rcdriftynoob reminds me of the back to the future DeLorean

[@Villainn-104]

Help me learn man idk about rec cars

[@madden_sama2246]

Put drift tires

[@TeeDee-r8f]

Can you please upgrade a TOY STORY 'RC' car with hobby grade parts!!!!

[@Rcdriftynoob]

Can you name a car for an edit

[@TestDriverRC]

@@Rcdriftynoob What kind of Car is it?

[@Rcdriftynoob]

Any real life car you want and my friend will make an edit for it

[@TestDriverRC]

@@Rcdriftynoob Absolutely! I’d love to see a 1994 Honda Civic Hatchback Edit. Classic

[@Itsnotmegaming]

Ok

[@Itsnotmegaming]

I made it I posted on my KZbin channel
