That battery plate is genius. I just have mines sitting across the top bar with velcro. This is a great car I've had about 15 of them. Great to learn and modify and everything
Yeah it’s a good little plate. So much better than the Velcro. At least you know it won’t go anywhere. Yeah wow 15!. They are a great little car to mod up. !.👍🏼🚗
Wow!!! like a regular rocket 🚀 ship man i think that thing would even scare the funnel web spiders 🕷️ over there away with that thing 😂 the car says make way im coming through zoooooom...🏎️ 💨 🔥🔥🔥 lol.
Well done on 85kph 👏. I got one a month ago and today got 83.5kph but was only on full throttle for a split second. The esc has worked for me me fine on 3s but recently changed to a separate 35a esc and dumbo receiver and controller.
Thanks Jane. Yeah like I said. Not sure how long the original ESC will last. But the good thing is you changed it to a dumboRC transmitter and receiver. Great stuff in getting 83.5k. I believe You will def get over 85 with the better transmitter . 👍🏼🚗
Unfortunately I done exactly the same as you flipped at speed and skidded only difference is my speedometer screen broke 🙄. Another one ordered. Can I upload my run when my new speedo turns up? I'm new to all this but picked a cracking rc car 👌. I also have a deerc h16e which is 10mph slower unfortunately
This trucks amazing for the money got mine for about $70 on temu shipping took 11 days to Washington state 35mph on a 1/16th scale foot print really rips especially with a 3000mah battery got to for just under $30 planning on getting a 2-3s waterproof esc for only $14 hopefully that'll help 3s down the road 👍
My 3000mah were only 15c 2s so no noticeable difference just lasted longer but have ovonics or something like that 2200mah 3s 35c hope it doesn't burn anything up stock saw a video of 2s & 3s with 45c hopefully it works OK still running my stock esc 35a hoping I can later clip a wire to the antenna considering 50mph is going to make the range matter more assuming lol
Good video. That is a respectable soeed for a stock setup. Since you are planning on changing it out anyways, you could run the stock 2 in 1 board until it fries just to see what it can take. 🤷♂️
@@timallen6035 I ran the 2 in 1 board on 4s on my work bench. It lasted about 10 seconds at half throttle. So yeah at least I know it can do 3s comfortably!. 👍🏼🚗
Took my q117 out yesterday and managed to get 85.89kph. I wrapped a small peice of lead around the front bumper which stopped the wheelies at top speed 👍🏻
I tried using a 3s battery on that car, but after some minutes I lost power to go forward and backward, and just have it on the steering. Do you know what the problem may be and how to fix it? Thank you and great job on your videos
@@marcobugamellihagendorfer9739 Hey Marco, I would say you have burnt out the esc. The original control units are not designed for 3S. Maybe only a short burst. The best thing to do is spend a bit of Money and upgrade the electrics to brushless. You won’t be dissapointed. Thanks for watching I appreciate it. Be sure to keep watching my vids about this car as I will have a new one on this car soon.
Can you use a 3S lipo battery with this Orginal model without it breaking? Thanks, I ordered it in pink, hope it arrives soon, wait 14 days. Really cool video
@@Das-Veilchen-X yeah this is the one I use and will only fit. You will need to make a battery hold down so it doesn’t fall out. www.ebay.com.au/itm/283602707829?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=dy7-XhnGRxm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Kods1y39RBy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Very brilliant my friend. I'm currently upgrading the same RC. 3s batteries are on their way to me and I'm thinking about replacing the other components with the Surpasshobby 60A ESC but I'm not sure which KV motor size I should use to get the best performance. Can someone help?🙏🏼
Got mine finally...mine has no brakes just reverse for some reason...mine also has metal knuckles not plastic like i have seen that were breaking from to much bashing...one question can you remember if your 2 in 1 rx/esc has tabs to screw it to chassis or no tabs? Was told the one with no tabs is good with 3s while the other fails..thanks 😊
Halo, saya mau bertanya, dalam pengetesan tersebut (3S baterai) apakah ada yang anda rubah dari partnya? Atau masih orisinil bawaan pabrik? ESC sama motor apakah anda upgrade juga? Terima kasih saya dari indonesia
Yeah for sure. Did you get it brushed or brushless. Because if it’s already brushless, then drive it like normal and have fun with it. If not, I’ll have to do it upgrade video on it
@jeanmason8211 if you have the same running electrics as mine, which I think you would. You should easily get to 85km with a 3S battery in there. I was running a 3S 1500 mah 100c.
If you’re talking about the motor that it has three wires, yes it’s a possibility that the Motor can run on 3S. but what I’m talking about is the speed controller. They are not very capable of running on 3S, 2S is more ideal , 3S you have the potential to blow it up
You can use them, but you do have the risk of blowing the esc. I’ve used 3S and haven’t had an issue yet. But the esc is a ticking time bomb. It can go at any time
Theres 2 type of esc with different tags on them, on of them can handle 3s even tough it isn’t stated and the other one will fry. I have a pick of the 2
👍Oh, thank you for sharing..😅Because I personally have 144010 pro, 16101 pro, Q130 pro, 16103 pro version and 16103 normal version..But I only dare to use 2s 25c battery most of the time, except for 144010 pro version, I dare to use 3s battery..Because 144010 pro version has the relationship written on ESC...🥰Still want to thank you for sharing and letting me know...😇Thank you...
@@wilber8637 no probs at all. It’s always a big risk from the beginning to play with it on 3S. It could last an entire battery or just pop once you plug it in. Looks like I got a lucky one. 👍🏼🚗
This exact rc car is not supposed to go on 3s with that esc, you need to upgrade the esc of that car before running it on 3s, otherwise it would burn out eventually.
well its run ok for me on the stock 3s for quite some time now. i have now upgraded the ESC to as hobbywing 50amp one. only because i ran it on 4S as a test and it got me to half throttle. so yeah it can also do 4S for a little bit and seems like its pretty capable on 3S. thanks for watching👍🛻
I purchased this same truck and it says right in the description that it runs 2s and 3s. I wouldn't go running 3s in it all the time for long periods of time but I don't see anything wrong with running it every once in a while with 3s..
@thomasnichols4870 yeah it’s true. You can run it on 3 S but it’s really luck of the drawer if it does last then that’s great but otherwise you will need to upgrade
Well I will make a video bc it's kind of funny but it works just fine. I use black tape and a velcro. It's never fallen out or had an issue. I will try to get the video up by midnight tonight
