UPGRADING A TOY GRADE RC CAR

[@George.___]

IMR Lithium Batteries may work even better than ICR. Nice work. I’m looking to do this to my Lamborghini Countach toy grade RC car. It needs to drive as well as it looks.

yes I did use lipo with an alarm cut off and it was great but shredded the gearbox. some great looking toy grades out there , good luck with your conversion 👍

@@009ADVENTURES: Yes. I customized a Radio Shack 69 Camaro and the brushless motor and metal pinion gear ate through the spur gear. I swapped the rearend out to a hobby grade Traxxas system and it is awesome Fast and Powerful!

I'm looking for a lil help on upgrading a toy grade rc. I am happy with everything but the steering servo and would like to upgrade that only. But having troubles figuring the wiring of it. How did you get your servo wired in to the circuit board?

[@009ADVENTURES]

hi Brian, I was lucky I had a board here that was proportional along with the matching servo from an old rc car that was crashed so I changed the lot in this one along with the controller. easiest option is to buy a hobbywing 1060 esc and a 3 wire servo but then you will need a controller and receiver. all that will cost around £60 that's the only problem unless you can find something on marketplace or the like . Hope this helps 👍

@009ADVENTURES I'm not trying to go that route, as this rc has moving suspension like air ride. Otherwise I would have to do servos on all the shocks.

@brianfry4748 agh right I got you bud, sorry I can't help more , hope you get it sorted. be fun trying anyway:)

[@brianfry4748]

@009ADVENTURES no problem thank you anyway tho. I figure there's a way just have to find it lol.

This video is unique and not a lot are seen so 👍 video man.

[@009ADVENTURES]

just a bit of fun originally but I still use this car occasionally. thanks for watching

[@wwboverlord4052]

What store did you get it from?

[@009ADVENTURES]

I really cant remember tbh, I've had it kicking around for about 20 years. it's made by gp toys if that helps any.

[@g1fsh]

Nice job mate it can deffo shift a bit cant it. The motor spinning the wrong way is just the sort of thing i would do guaranteed lol

[@009ADVENTURES]

it's not too bad Gary, shocks need changing though. yea that motor threw me for a bit as it was wired up correct just different location lol. never mind I got it sorted that's the main lol. cheers mate

nikko evolution motor, good

[@009ADVENTURES]

yep that's the one, trying to source another one as this one packed in :( 👍

[@thattoyvehicleguy9000]

I found a rc 911 GT2 with a similar chassis im gonna upgrade and maybe make it a drift car

[@009ADVENTURES]

oh yes that sounds like a great plan , like the sound of that. good luck 👍

[@Critter0817]

I am now inspired to do this to my old Viper

[@009ADVENTURES]

go for it :) always great fun trying to create something from not a lot 👍

[@Critter0817]

@@009ADVENTURES Will do! I couldn't find the Viper. Shame. It's something like a 1/18 scale. Still though I got a New Bright Corvette. It looks like a 1/25 scale. So far I've made a differential out of Legos and got it in the back end. Fits pretty snug. It doesnt exactly roll, but a moderately sized motor should compensate for that. I'll make my own battery pack with 4 AAA batteries. Once I've got the cheap electronics all sorted out, I'm taking it to school!

@@009ADVENTURES It's done! You can now see the car on my channel. It's just a couple short videos

[@009ADVENTURES]

sounds good, I will pop over and take a look 👍
