  • We added added a home-built chassis brace to the cheetah. Using exact science and state of the art engineering (not really), we designed this $7.00 upgrade. Afterwards, the car seemed to be able to take much more of a beating before breaking!
    This is a great video to watch if you plan on buying the cheetah, if you already have the cheetah, or if you just like watching RC cars fly through the air!

    Very nice upgrade, clean and effective. I don't do such high jumps with my cheetah but this mod looks pretty tough. Will try.

      I didn’t do high jumps before either because I knew it would break on the second one lol

    Would you recommend those added aluminium bars also for the hbx 901a to save the chassi?

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No I don’t think it’s necessary. That darn cheetah is made out of plastic-y glass and snaps if you breathe on it. Hbx uses some of the best RC plastic. Any crash that breaks a chassis on an hbx is gonna cause issues regardless. 👍👍

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That may have been a weak axle. Mine only broke on jumps, even small jumps. But after I did that aluminum brace, I still have never broken one. And it’s been run many times since I made this video. Lots of stuff around the axles still break, but not the axles themselves lol!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s possible. It defies Hoyle not have broken that easily. May have also just been a bad one from the factory. I would email the company and let them know a dogbone axle broke so easily.

      I purchased an M4 tap that came with the proper size bit, which is a 3.3 mm. You can find metric drill bits on Amazon.

    Yo bro you've got my vote and I did hit that like for the front flip. Great mod, infact its a bloody amazing mod. I'll see about getting a one bar mod done, either way shout-out coming your way. Keep on ripping that thing, I wish you all the best with the channel. Your a funnier, cooler version of Branden harrera and your editing is pretty sick.
