I hope to see you do a review of the 14210 soon 😁

[@DerbyCityRC]

Already on order! but it’s delayed 🤣

[@starseedmanifestations6479]

Good to see your review. The wheel pin is the first to go every time. Seeing your videos on the hbx got me to get a fc610. 3s and some Duratrax 6pack wheels made all the difference. Brushless it’s a beast. I put the stock motor back in and just cook it with some Ovanac 1400mah 3s. Still in one piece 4 months later.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Wow! Ya I did my hbx on 3s before I brushless-tized it. Exciting to do this one 🤣. I’m glad I helped with your decision to get one! 😊

[@chaoticadventure]

Awesome looking rig! Another great vid!

[@DerbyCityRC]

It is! Thanks bro!!

[@rcguy7521]

love this truck, this is a perfect candidate for a brushless conversion, i used a 3650 motor with a wp10bl60 rtr (hobbywing 10bl60) esc, had to make a plate for the esc to fit on the center chassis brace, wont work with the hbx 2995 body but truck bodies have enough room. I also had the same issue with several of the oil shocks. I used the hsp 1/10 buggy shocks from aliexpress, massive ride height and soaks up big jumps beautifully, the stock oil shocks squat really low and bottoms out everytime. Ive had no broken parts yet other than the faulty shocks, drivetrain is solid and handles 3s no problem, 2s is fun too but 3s gives perfect air control. Great videos as always look forward to seeing your setup in the future 😁

[@DerbyCityRC]

That’s some good info, thanks! Ya I’ll be doing a 3s video before the upgrade. It’s gonna be epic!!! 🤣😎😎 Thanks!!

Hi, what’s the battery tray size in length in cm assuming the brushed esc has been removed to leave all the space for a bigger/longer battery. Tnx

[@DerbyCityRC]

The stock tray is right around 2.75 inches in length. If you relocate the esc and cut out the thin partition wall, you have roughly 4.75 inches before it would run the steering linkage.

Great! Ya I keep having diff problems in my 901a also. Switching those electronics would probably work just fine. You may have to swap the pinions or get a new one. I believe the Flyhal is a 16T. Can’t remember what the 901a has. Glad you liked the video!!

hi great content! you deserve more subscribers! I have a question about diff oil. Do you have a ''standard'' for the front, middle and centre diff about which oil you use? Im new to the hobby but i bought a couple of rc cars and im a bit confused about which diff oil the car needs.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! I don’t really have a standard because it depends on the size and weight of the car, along with your driving style. For my Kraton I put 500k on the center and 100k in the front and rear. Honestly I think that’s too thin still, but would probably work well for this Flyhal. It’s really best to try different weights until you like it the most👍

[@Appel007]

@@DerbyCityRC thx man for your reply! i have an FTX DR8/Reely Raptor 6s an JLB cheetah with surplus 120a, 4076 2000kv motor and a ZD racing EX07 with a 160a hobbywing ESC 1/7 onroad car. Can you help me with the correct oils

[@DerbyCityRC]

You’re welcome. Well out of those cars, I only have a cheetah. The cheetah doesn’t have a center diff and I don’t think the F and R diffs hold oil very well. But I would say for a true 10th scale or larger, to start with 200k fluid in the F and R diffs and 500k in the center, then go from there to see what you prefer.

Good stuff! How is this holding up? Kind of want a smaller scale basher and this seems to do very well.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! I just have a hard time recommending the cheetah. It’s a super fun car, but after a while, it starts to break too easily. The 6s kratons are awesome, or another good option is the Team Associated Rival MT10. Have you seen my videos with that truck?

[@SunnySunny-wj3li]

@@DerbyCityRC The actual dilemma is between talion exb 6s which I like most (low center gravity-handling/durability/stability/looking/speed) and j3 that is less than half the price of arrmas, but I believe your cheetah experience, and its good to have honest opinions like yours to aware us. People are complaining for brand new arrmas escs catching fire or stop working cause of overheating, that's a shame for a brand like arrma that claims to be the best out there, for an rc that costs 1,5 basic salary in my country, and push me maybe to a roller solution, but there isn't any roller exb 6s talion, only kraton. Arrma is using the same 150a esc for all 1/7 & 1/8 and hasn't solve that. I understand they mass produce, try to keep the cost down, but we are talking about 700 euro range rcs. What is your esc experience with your kraton? I saw all your kraton videos, you re in depth, well done. I don't bash as hard as you do, I actually don't bash, do you consider talion exb 6s a durable choice? MT10 is a capable truck, saw your nice videos, I m looking for 1/7 or 1/8. Btw I also own a 9204 enoze converted to brushless 120a and 3660 motor(!) , have you found a wheelie bar for that? I 've been looking a while but haven't found so far. It really needs one, I have shredded the back and top of my original body shell, now I have a piranha one :-)

[@DerbyCityRC]

Gotcha! Well I don’t have a talion, though I would like one. I actually have not had issues with my Kraton esc yet. I mention in one video that it busted on a front flip down that gnarly stone staircase, but actually all that had happened was I pinched a wire during reinstallation and after enough hard landings it severed it. Just one of the little wires running from the esc to the receiver. So I fixed that and it’s been good. Also the original fan stopped working so I did need to get a new fan. Unfortunately I have not found a wheelie bar for the Enoze 92xx’s. But those things would take off like a rocket if we can find one for sure!! I definitely love my Kraton and don’t think you can go wrong with it, but yes it is sad that for that price there are some concerns. It has great handing with the large tires and still a pretty low center of gravity. Just needs that servo saver mod and a stronger servo (another disappointment!) Thanks for the great compliments too!!!
