@@supertjeduc do you mean the indicators? You can gently unclip them from the connectors. But best to gently unclip them so if you want them back, you can just plug them back in.

Watch my latest video on the fcx18, those shocks with the shock keys make this car anazing

@@envixyyy i will be working on the car again, doing the video that many are asking for on shock positioning, it will be coming soon

@ thank you so much

@ btw if you would tag me In the video that would be fantastic

@@AtölyeModel i usually use a y lead to get power from one of the constant power channels

Hot glue them from the inside

@@tonyshelsher7872 sorry about that. We not making these vids to impress anyone. Its a home made video on a cellphone. Plus we need to cut out faces etc

@@kenneth_jensen i prefer to go by the sound, i listen to the gear mesh click before and after. I’ve used paper and done as you advised before, it works but it doesn’t get it 100%, i have found im not 100% pleased with the mesh when i do it that way. But its not easy to do it the way i do. Some do it the same and some dont but both ways work if done right. Since then i’ve sent the car to the moon and back(figuratively), it’s still good. But like i said my method isn’t as straightforward for everyone.

@febuilds I have not seen your method before, but I genuinely think it is awesome you have found a method that works better for you 💯👍 I will try it next time 🙂 ...and maybe verify with the paper technique (for my own sake) 😁

@@ryand4786 the foc tech is just awesome. It gives you that extreme control and precision as you crawl.

@@Rlaarlo they did really well, it was very hot and no overheating issues(where other cars would hit thermal shut down, these never), these are just some clips from a long session of tests, they basically survived all that we put the bashers through. Also did well on the track. If you guys release a chassis tub dirt cover for this car(as possible upgrade option that people can buy), it would make it even better. We will actually email in with a small suggestion(possible upgrade option on the pionion housing) the only issue we found but that issue was only faced in fine grit.

​@@febuildsvery good cars really love them

@@febuilds Awesome video guys, caught some great footage of them in action! Are they both standard? Also Rlaarlo now do a dust protector cover for the chassis!!!

They mail it separately. I sent them an email and they replied the same day with a tracking code. The gift ships from China. I just received mine the other day.

@@Godisamazing101 yes, it is. This one is for sending

@febuilds would you say this motor is much faster than the stock one? I wanna make mine wayy faster but also able to crawl slow. Maybe you can do a speed test.

@ go for the axe 3

@@febuilds thank you

@febuilds appreciate your reply, one question doh. The motor that comes with the R3 is 74mm in length. Would that still be able to fit?

@@rayonnefitness6197 this definitely makes a difference, remapping may affect your warranty however if you plan on going the turbo route, they will remap it anyway

I can imagine a turbo diesel adding 300kg to the car as well.

@@Elsuntan It would add some weight but not 600lbs, the small gain would be worth it for the big gain in offroad performance, look at the Jimny model before the JB74 that had a small turbo diesel, so much better than the petrol, but now turbos are being installed on the petrol engine which helps climbing but doesn't make any difference on steep descents, that is where lower low range gearing helps.

@@Anshyuman with the 31’s it’s abit more than what i had with the 195/80r15… gear 5 can pull up a normal hill but its still experimental and tests, we kept all the original stuff safe so if we conclude all the tests and are not happy then we can go back. I have vids of speedo at various speeds since the beginning. I want to test on more extreme hills(on tar), see if it can hold gear 5.

You see in your last video how the red jimny was struggling on the sand at time 1:22, this blue one doesn’t do that now. You just press accelerator and drop it like its hot.

@@febuilds for the gearing reasons, I am still running 215/75 tires, once I go ahead with lift and other modification, I plan to move to 31 inch tires and gearing reduction. We have tried only low range gearing reduction in one of the cars with 215 size tires.

@ if you put 31’s then low range and high range reduction will be good to give back the cars power/drivability without killing the clutch. But because you are no stranger to these gears, I don’t need to mention the draw backs. Just one very important tip: from wherever you buy the gears, ignore all the marketing hype. When they come, before installation, check the gears closely for consistency in the teeth and pitch, best is to take it to a gear specialist to look at, clean up and make adjustments where he see’s necessary. This way it will not be a very noisy run in period and you will do less heat cycles. Currently with the 31’s and the reductions the car is very drivable, even easier than when 195/75r15 was on, but i will test thoroughly before i announce exactly what we have done in this car because I don’t want anyone to rush and buy after seeing these videos and then face troubles.

@@catchawakeup6411 im not sure as to where they are selling them in South Africa but these were imported by FE Builds for a special experiment regarding low range gears

@@pumareal6423 these gears give more torque in high and low range, making a 31 tyre feel like you are driving the stock 195’s, we are reluctant to post as to where we sourced the gears as we are still testing and we wouldn’t like to recommend anything that we haven’t tried and tested thoroughly. Follow up vids will come in the next few weeks if we are happy and which brand we went with.

@febuilds Thanks a lot!

@@febuilds Interesting video, looking at putting in new lower low range on my JB74 that leaves high range as is. On stock tyres.

@@febuilds A couple of observations, it would be interesting to see the differences in the gear swaps if before and after changes could be shown together side by side to see the difference rather than seeing a time difference, also the difference the gear change makes on a steep descent in low 1st just using engine breaking without HDC, also one mod I think a lot of JB74 owners are looking for is a digital or analogue temperature gauge adding as the warning light only tells you when the engine has overheated, great videos by the way.

@ we have a mod up on how to see engine temp already(the cheap option) but a more comprehensive one is coming soon. Shows all engine data. Including pre warnings, errors etc. wrt crawler gears, its an experiment, we have footage of everything but chose not to put it up until we have tested properly. Going down a hill thats not slippery is easy work, no need for hill descent control. It just idles down. Going down a slippery hill, i would go down in a higher gear so you can easily correct if the back tyres slide to the side
