Do you think 350$ is good price for this truck?
Oh absolutely! I sold mine as I wasn't bashing as much, I do more racing now... There are some good upgrades out there, I've featured a few on some of my other videos... It's still excellent value for money imo. Although, when I return to bashing, I'll be looking at a 4s platform. Whether that be another corally or an arrma, is the only question lol

@@firstcomment2801 howdy!
i just bought this as my first rc car and i have broken it within a week, the gear box broke so i have just waited a week for it to arrive, i am probably going to buy all of the parts you found most broken so i can save on postage and wait times, although do you think i should upgrade the esc to a 4s compatible? the engine already gets so hot especially as i am in Australia
Yea there are some weak points for sure, but fundamentally it's a decent rig once you account for those parts... The esc is actually a quality unit, I think it's a rebranded hobbywing esc. There's no need to upgrade that at all. I wouldn't recommend a more powerful motor either, that will just destroy the gearbox imo. Definitely get some spares... My recommend spares would be; Suspension arms Diff outdrives Shock shafts Shock caps Oh, and tighten up the outdrive cups (that attatch to the prop shaft), and use thread lock on them. Hope this helps buddy
that’s hurting me you just left that wire dragging on the floor like that
I was super eager to test it out 🤣🤣
@ i can tell 🫣😂
nice video, enjoyed and subscribed
@version736ha2 aww thanks! I no longer have the mini (it was a disaster if I'm honest). I currently have a volvo c30, which i absolutely love!
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal i got totally burnt on one my Mrs wanted to buy a couple of years ago. A 2007 manual cooper. Suspension was totally buggered. Bought for 1800, got 400 back from a mechanic sold to that I was upfront with on the issues who could do the work on and get sorted. Cosmetically nice. But lack of service history should have made me run a mile.
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal problem with them is, despite their unreliability, and terrible assembly, great to drive
@version736ha2 they really are great to drive, I was really surprised how well it handled! And it was surprisingly quick for a 1.6! But yea, reliability is a major issue, along with cost of parts. Sorry you got burnt buddy, hopefully it won't happen again! I think the guy that i bought mine off knew full well it had a ton of problems. Some crafty people out there!!
Why ?
Neat
Hi, what's the bulb size for the rear seats? Thanks!
Most older plastic lamp lenses are clear coated from factory, this is main fogging/yellowing you see, no amount of any polish will touch it. Old clear coat must be sanded off & lens brought back up with progressively finer grit wet n dry to a minimum of 2000 grit, then machine buff with a compound. All these so called headlight restoration kits will do nothing unless lens gets the above graft 1st.
@@mickeymouse4897 funny enough, that'd exactly what I'm looking at doing to my new car.... I tried this headlight kit on my wife's car a while ago, after she'd already purchased the kit. Tbf, there was a noticeable difference, but they're hardly perfect

Ive been a taxi driver for 14 years and absolutely no way would i and any driver i know put a korean car on the raod as PH. They fall apart from 100k and any driver thats bought a Hyundai/Kia has never bought a second one. VAG 2.0 TDI and toyota hybrids are the ones we go for
Hi I’m about to buy Kia Niro 3 hybrid. What’s your view on it, are you still enjoying it ?
@barbaranalezinska4656 I sold mine earlier this year, it was about to cost me a small fortune! I think most people are happy with their niros, however they do have issues. I had quite a few minor issues, which were dealt with under warranty. However, the big issue was with the gearbox; occasionally there would be a loud BANG!! And it's a semi common problem, which could cost £4k to fix!! So I offloaded it and lost a few quid. I also changed jobs at the same time, and I only had the car as I was a taxi driver. Would I buy another one? No Would I recommend one? No Are they a lovely car? Yes Are they well priced? Yes Hope this helps buddy

what did you spray?
Take heatsink off, buy a Y wire. Then run ESC & upgraded heatsink & fan through Y wire. It works better because that stock heatsink is insufficient for decent length 3s running. Also buy a 150A ESC, with a (deans) jump adapter/plug. The 100A ESC is holding torque back, it acts as a restriction.
Can you put a 1500 mah battery in it and is it fast enough you think?
@Thecarandfortniteguy I bought a 2s lipo for it, think it's a 1400 mah... It was quick enough for my son when he was 7. Personally though, I would recommend the brushless version, does about 25 mph out of the box, and can apparently run a 3s lipo. Also check out my video of the mjx hyper go, that thing is mental!

Is the Bluetooth adapter no good now? When you first reviewed at purchase you said it was great but didn’t sound as keen in this video or is the problem more to do with where it’s plugged in on the c30? Cheers
@AdamSmith-ep2uq hey buddy, it still works fine tbh... The issue is more the socket in the volvo isn't great, and occasionally it drops signal. It also looks pretty cheap tbh. Where the socket is mounted in the volvo, it's also easy to catch the Bluetooth receiver and knock it out of place. I'm looking at replacing it with something that has a rechargeable battery, and maybe something with a screen too, so I can see what song is playing. As a short term solution, it's actually pretty good. Especially for the price
I spent hours polishing my car head lights and the looked fantastic until i turned them on, thousands of tiny deep cracks appeared, making them cloudy, bought new ones
Oh wow really?! I'm glad you commented, as I was about to polish the headlights on my new (to me) car!
Not keen on that sorry
We're all different and like different things, no need to apologise matey 👍
Thank you Chris, glad you're enjoying your c30, this is based off a universal diffuser which is then cut and sanded to fit c30 facelifts as stated in your video, all bolts are to be replaced and will be looking into this for the best longevity, I also included the black plastic nuts and bolts which hold to C30's perfectly well as I don't like self tappers myself either for rust issues. The small screws in the kit I am looking to get stainless steel but just need to find the correct size so they're not too big on the diffuser. If anyone has any input or feedback or wants to purchase a kit send me a message bank transfer only but always happy to help otherwise, I also make custom c30 headlights for any c30 owners. All feedback helps me make myself and the product better 👌 thank you hopefully we can make a set for pre-facelift eventually.
Thanks for the update Luc, I'll be sure to mention your comments in the next video. Many thanks again for sorting this out for me, and I'm excited to get it on the car!
@the chequered flag. Yes I agree but it's cheap and really a good product. And the hybrid products are brill if you haven't tried them then check them out bro.
The turtle wax must be applied twice to get the best results. Spray it on once and let it dry and then spray again for better results.
@adrianmoore3118 that's what I've started doing tbh... it leaves a lovely shine and lasts well!! Probably still be naff in the rain though. And that bottle runs out quick when doing 2 layers lol
Good video, straight to the point.
@@etorius22 thanks 👍
So the remote controller is not included and also the clear body?
@paramedic1988 no that was just a kit. You can get an rtr version, which includes everything. It does cost quite a few shiny pennies though
@TheChequeredFlagOriginal yeah think is cheaper to get rtr set
@paramedic1988 it can work out cheaper, yes. And the bodyshells in the rtr version are very nice

Considering picking one up with 100k... has your opinion changed or still a reliable car? Would be using mine for rideshare aswell
@DuhSimpleMan it was reliable, in that it started every single day... but a ton of things went wrong with it, and in the end I sold it for a massive loss. I wouldn't recommend a kia niro to anyone tbh. Hope this helps!
thanks for the review, i think im going to go for the delkavic, I was looking at the black widdow one but its a bit cheap and thin for my liking.

Big ups from a fellow C30 owner here in the States, consuming all of the C30 content on YT! Love my C30 T5, for me, it's a "never sell".
@phredbull ahh man, I bet you love the t5!! Can you add anything to the list I made...? Be you'd put performance in there somewhere! Got plenty more c30 content coming up, next up will be fitting a custom diffuser 😁😁 And then I'll be modifying the stock grille... Absolutely love this little car btw, I'm officially a volvo convert lol
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal The T5 is very torque-y, plus the sound of the 5 pot is great, though the stock exhaust is so quiet. I think I need to get a sportier muffler. Overall, it's not the most luxurious, or the sportiest, but it does a fine job of balancing those 2. For me, it's perfect as a commuter/grocery-getter in a big city. Will be watching for your future vids...
Yea you gotta replace that quiet exhaust! I'll be getting a custom back box on mine, but will probably have to wait until early next year (super broke atm lol). Yea I reckon the whole c30 range is a good mix of a sporty/luxury, wrapped up in a wallet friendly package... Not a game changer in any way, more a jack of all trades. In a good way lol. That's ace! Plenty more c30 vids coming this way...
