You MUST DO THIS on a LOSI LASERNUT! - Netcruzer RC

[@daleadmire1451]

I cannot thank you enough for this upload, I took my E Revo down to my local hobby shop today for maintenance and wound up coming home with this lasernut what a beautiful buggy!. Now I’ll watch multiple KZbin videos and find out everything there is to know about it before I take it outside.

[@Top-Jimmy]

Hi mate, How are you? How's the car doing? have you done any speed runs etc? Also what batteries are you running? Cheers

[@daleadmire1451]

@@Top-Jimmy I can’t believe I’m saying this but I never even charged the battery, The car has been sitting on the shelf for months. I’ve been so busy with work and other things I haven’t got to it quite yet but she’s beautiful just to look at!

THANKS A LOT! 👍 My good-as-new 2nd hand Lasernut also had issues w/ steering & factory brake settings - now these are solved and the car's ready to run. 😁

[@PacificOceanCrawlers]

I want to thank you for this video. Solved all my problems with my brakes!!! Thanks!

[@robsrcinsanity1220]

End point settings are super important. Glad you got a used one that wasn’t to far out of whack!

[@RcBasherBoi]

Congrats on that new Lazernut, brings me back when I got mine dialed in.

[@danielgadberry7651]

Thanks for the informative info. I just perched a used Lasernut in new condition also and I don’t like the brake settings. I’m just getting back into the RC world. My last RC was a Team Associated RC 10 back in 85’, so it’s been awhile. Things have change so much that I’m a newbie all over again but thanks to your video I’ll be making some needed adjustments.

[@brandonsmith4367]

You are in my exact boat!! I too had the RC10, and now getting back into things, boy have things changed!!

[@rybuds47]

Same here, i got an RC10 B74.2d and i just cant belive how easy it is to drive and how advanced the radio and electronics are. My last Rc10 was from 1989 😄

[@whiteanduptight]

my first was a hornet in 1984ish, but moved on to a Losi Jrx2 in December 1989

[@NorCal-yeti]

lol me to!!!

[@waynepontes3045]

Thank you for the help, I bought this and a rfty about 5 months ago, I don't use the losi just because of this. I did the bind fine. And everything works except the brake. I did try to follow the manual but I got lost during The esc program. I am so glad you did this so I can SEE what I need to do. Thanks again, keep up the videos.

[@markmonteiro2487]

My lazernut arrived today. Guess what it has exactly the same problems that netcruzer is showing us. Great review

[@netcruzer]

Crazy they never revised the brake tuning of that ESC in the years since this product launched.

[@markmonteiro2487]

@@netcruzer how do I fix the steering. It's turns more to 1 side than the other just like yours.

[@SeeJayAre]

Love my Lasernut! I think my rear diff is clicking? Tackling that this weekend.

[@davidhuffaker4559]

Fantastic car !!! Get the diffs dialed in and it's one of my favorite cars hands down

[@RC4X4]

Cool. I have the Blue and white. I set mine up on my DX5 Rugged. Works great.

[@DanielMaran-o2z]

Thankx for that video Mr net cruzer--man really helpful to know this stuff...The same thing happened to me with this Lasernut. I had someone selling it really cheap on market place, like 3 times below market value, but they were totally upfront with the issue which was the rear diff was making harsh internal grinding noises... So I took out the the diff and opened the housing...So the 2 bearings that are on the spirwelled pinion wheel the inner bearing was totally stripped.... so I will replace the both bearings ... while I have the diff out I will jump in there and replace the pinions gears and put in some 5000 or 7000 diff oil... and then hopefully the grinding noise will dispense....

[@Saberhawk85]

To fix the steering I switched out my Servo, as the stock one is underpowered for this size of vehicle (1/10th on box 1/8th actual) in my opinion. Now it works great. I agree with the breaks being set way to low in factory settings. This should be changed before running.

[@AlexHT100]

Just ordered a more powerful servo to do the same… could you use the existing horn or whatever? Also looking at the Exotec steering setup incase you’re not aware of that upgrade. Meant to help sh1t loads! 🤠

[@jdpaslRC]

Good to see you again!

[@loum7008]

Just seeing this, nice overview! BTW you can properly set the steering end points through the DX3 remote. It's a combination of steering and throttle to get into the endpoint mode. Spectrum has a quick video going over it. It definitely should have been included in the manual.

[@julianmarkarian3001]

Can you link that exact video please?

[@eyemastervideo]

That looks like a nice and fun buggy!

[@TheAurabell]

I adjusted the brakes Immediately on mine

[@fxrc3086]

I've thought about getting a lasernut for a while. Seen alot of videos about them and I know there a little problematic but there is a tone of after market. this was my favorite lasernut vid. Think I might have to pull the trigger 🤔 👍👍

[@hotheadedfilmshhf6734]

You should man they are great just gotta shim the diff and fill them with thicker diff fluid. Dsm off-road makes some really good and cheap bearings. After that they are really tough. Then if you put the vitavon parts on it they are damn near bullet proof

[@adamhayes9203]

Hi FX RC, did you buy one yet? I have a new one with the smart charger and 3s smart battery I would sell you.

Great to see you back

[@jifi926]

Thanks for the video by the way. Its good info. (And no, i wasnt saying youve calibrated it wrong. Only that it may not be getting done by other purchasers.)

[@HaulinAzzzovs]

Nice to have you back; glad kitty is doing better. Not a vehicle I’d buy, but this is fantastic from a problem diagnosis standpoint!

[@RazorRC]

Nice pickup! Also check the chassis can bottom out, I believe it doesn't with those tires on there.

[@netcruzer]

I’ve kept the box stock shock and diff setup and handling seems quite good. Cold temps might be helping and may need to stiffen or thicken things in warmer weather. I did a track test on 4S with and without that rear tire hanging off the rear. Just need to edit and post that video! 👍

[@v.e.7236]

I just got a Losi 1/10 Baja Rey, which uses 2S and 3S batteries. Its at total "insanity" mode w/ the 3S battery, so I just got a couple 2S batteries to get it into some kind of "normal" mode for a more realistic driving experience. Much better w/ the 2S cells. I also dialed the steering input way back, so I wasn't constantly flipping in turns, due to over-steer. 4S seems like major overkill, IMO.

[@andrewkuehn9207]

These are geared a lot lower then the Baja Rey’s my brother has one and I have a laser but his is fast the mine even when he’s on 2s

[@v.e.7236]

@@andrewkuehn9207 They are insanely quick . . but lots of fun in jumps and just ripping around in sand or gravel.

[@ShenRC]

Nice! I have the tenacity DB pro it's awesome. I could use the hobbywing brushless program cards on it and my losi lmt esc's also.

[@BetriebAnin]

Pretty much all rigs with Spektrum systems have very little brakes, some more than others, and this being more. My theory to why is that the diffs just can’t handle full throttle then hard braking. I experienced this on my Lasernut where I turned the brakes to 100%, drove it at near it’s top speed, hard braked, and the diffs made this nasty crunching sound. I’m pretty convinced that’s it.

[@machinemant4]

Hey bro thanks for this …mine is not igoin to reverse ..can u help

[@netcruzer]

Check ESC settings. Use the set button procedures to ensure it’s on forward/reverse with brake, and not just forward/brake.

[@bigmorris80able]

Man, this was a great video. Thank you very much for the information. I’m thinking about picking one up off of Facebook marketplace next week. I’m definitely going to check the settings. You know I have a new subscriber. Keep up the good work, Brother!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

FB marketplace is mostly scammers. I'd stick with eBay, eBay at least has payment protection. FB Marketplace has a "f**k you, Jack" policy.

[@Ghostworks999]

Brother If you could let me know what the inner diameter of those wheels are? Im trying to see if they will fit udr spindles I’m building a custom build and stock udr wheels are not big enough. Hope you see this. And thank you 🙏

[@joshgraziosi8159]

I replaced the receiver and radio immediately. Out of the box, the original setup simply would not bind. It finally did once, but then would have to rebind EVERY time. Oh and the braking is awful, yes.

[@warmfreeze]

i did all of this with mine and it was still super slow on 4s and overall drove like crap... i then bound my DX5c to it and it just WOKE UP all the issues i was having was with the TX...the stock TX must have some programming out of the box that limits the car...

[@keldonator]

Did you read the manual?

[@antoniusekopurwanto2090]

Can I put on a smart spektrum battery 6800 mah 4s on a losi laser nur 4u?

[@netcruzer]

Yes

[@richardyonker217]

Great video. Do you thoughts on the new larger scale1/6 version of this same racer? Thanks

[@netcruzer]

Not many except that LOSI kept with smaller scale electrics in large scale chassis/bodies. I can’t really comment on reliability for the 1/6 it’s too new for real world durability to know if it’s strong or has weak bits. The 1/10 has weak axles.

[@tyshiddejuremanbey1313]

That helped, would like an APP thou, indeed!!!

[@elliotradcliffe2223]

Not sure if its the same for the losi lasernut, but i have the losi super baja rey 2.0. I found that the more power you give it the more brake it gives in return, again not sure if their the same

[@stevemoon2136]

I've always liked the Lazernut. Steering still seemed a little one-sided after calibration?

[@netcruzer]

Yes, tightening the servo saver was also needed, I didn’t show it after on the bench. But it was tightened for the outdoor action scene. Much better control.

[@keldonator]

So adjusting the timing up would increase the top speed at the cost of heat

[@netcruzer]

Yes

[@laho1106]

Is it common that the body is a bit "hard" to close? It pops up good but quite a bit of resistance when closing the lid so to speak..

[@skynetsworld]

And what is your recommendation for making it faster (let's say 55-60mph)? Replacing the gearing and/or the engine? can it be modified to run on 6s batteries?.

[@keldonator]

Im under the impression there is a setting in the manual to increase motor speed...

[@loosecannon9301]

I own one of these cars and this things breaks 3 times a week but when it runs right its a blast

[@keldonator]

Do they have upgraded parts to replace stuff as it breaks so it breaks less afterwards?

[@edwardperez9833]

Do you have to have a Spektrum smart battery to make those adjustments?

[@netcruzer]

No

[@trojax44]

my losi wont power on, the battery is fine, please help?

[@warbuzzard7167]

Solid work; serves as a reminder for all RCers to check their so-called "ready-to-run" cars... and more importantly, PLANES. ALL LANDINGS ARE MANDATORY, so make sure yours are under control because you double-checked the efforts of some poor, overworked wage-slave in Asia.

[@harlyquin]

if your right and the reason they sold this RC is because the breaks were set to weak and they didnt know how to reprogram them then thats pretty sad but in this day and age not surprising

[@netcruzer]

I think that’s exactly what happened. It’s much better now but I’m also going to sell this soon. I prefer the DB Pro which is faster and stronger, but the lasernut looks better.

[@harlyquin]

@@netcruzer yeah nice, i just picked up a 1/10 losi baja rey and i couldn't be more happy even if i tried

No I don’t think so. I have both and am likely going to sell the DB Pro or convert to a stadium truck, and keep the Lasernut.

[@AlexHT100]

So you were trying to sort the servo… then you saw something the seller had done and quickly moved on?? What was that about? You didn’t fix it 🤷‍♂️

[@netcruzer]

Just tightened down that servo saver on the bellcranks even more, I couldn’t get a good shot of doing it. The other things I did were more important to improve this car.

[@AlexHT100]

@@netcruzer Ah I see. So the steering issue was sorted easily enough then I’m assuming. The left to right movement looked terrible and way too 1 sided 😅

[@twoodrowindustries]

I’ve got this issue with mine, it won’t turn left, I just replaced the servo but it still won’t turn left. How do you adjust the servo saver, I can’t get the knob to turn, should it be tightened or loosened?

[@daleadmire1451]

@@twoodrowindustries it sounds to me like it should be tightened. Did you get the problem fixed? I just picked up this car today and watching a ton of how to videos about it

[@twoodrowindustries]

@@daleadmire1451 I didn’t yet, but I’m thinking that maybe I should get the steering rack properly centred with the servo in its neutral position. then make sure that both tie rods are adjusted to allow equal travel from left to right. I also need to swap the bolts to countersunk as the round headed bolts are binding on the steering/chassis brace. After this is all done I should be a fully qualified race mechanic, right?!
