Thank you Brother! I agree completely, I always go over my RTR's before running them for the first time and inevitably always find something that isn't right or could potentially shorten the life or durability of them! I always admired that you feel the same way! 😁👍🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡💯
Thanks brother much appreciated! I have found this to be the case from most well known expensive brands all the way down to the inexpensive stuff. Sometimes the cheaper ones do a better job! Lol my one real point especially for newbies is to always check the diffs and go over all of the screws before you run it even though you really shouldn't have to. I guess the upside is that you will learn how to do it. I actually did a tutorial of how to do it from start to finish in a previous video but it was unfortunately lost when a hacker destroyed my channel recently. Thanks for watching! 💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡🙏
@@riffraffsrc yeah you are absolutely right there. It's a good way to learn by going over the car to check everything out. It's just one of them things I guess isn't it? They are all made in big numbers so things are bound to slip through the quality control process
Exactly, and even more so now since the pandemic began. There is so much pressure to get the orders filled that stuff is bound to slip by even with the best QC. Every company and factory are playing catch up for sure.
Yes, I've been finding that most of the RC's that I buy, have little to no grease in them at all. Even the name brand kits. I kind of expect it in the budget models but it really is upsetting in the more expensive ones. I've gotten to the point I check all of them before I run them which is annoying but necessary if you want them last. Thanks for watching! 🙏 💯 🤜 🤛 🔥 🔥 ⚡ ⚡
Hey man,rc guy garage mentioned you so I dropped by for a look at ya vids.have subbed to ya channel. Look forward to see more rc tips etc.friggen love this hobby
Thank you Brother! He's a great guy with a great channel and a great friend! I had lots of videos with tips and how to 's but unfortunately they were destroyed by the hacker so I'm starting over!
O my that's crazy! I don't believe they did not use another set of bevel gears in it like with the Foxx I have also ..guess you can buy another set and add them in and make it much stronger like I did with my Foxx. It's a beauty that's for sure!
Hey brother thank you for your service and great video love the recommendation on the gear grease I definitely have a clicking noise in mine and I have opened up my diff gear I noticed the glob but being that I’m new to the hobby I did not realize that that’s not a standard so again thank you for the info good luck with your channel
hi riff its mario from rc guys garage you mite remember me from the lives ...i heard what happened i m sorry to hear some smuck had nothin beter to do then mess with peoples channels. anyway your a cool guy and i subed to your new channel welcome back buddy ttyl
Thank you Brother! Much appreciated! Along with everything I lost, I lost everything I was subbed to as well! So I'm resubbing everyone I can too! Hope you are doing well brother! 🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡💯
I tear down all my rtr trucks it couldn't be that they want you to have buy the hd gears lol pack some marine grease in mine and good to go great info video
Thank you Brother! Absolutely, no matter the brand, how expensive or inexpensive I always tell my viewers to check the diffs and go over all of the screws because a common problem I have found in all of them is that they sometimes don't lube or don't do it properly and some screws are loose or need loctite. Anything being mass produced quickly is going to have things missed no matter the QC. It's just the nature of mass production. From my inexpensive wltoys all the way to my most expensive rigs, I've seen the exact same things so it's really good to check them before the first run😁👍 thanks for watching!💯 🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡🙏
We are lucky to get a half filled diff with oil in most trucks! They couldn't even push the grease into the gears. Definitely get 4 planetary gears! Truck will run smoother less noise and diff will last longer.
I was surprised they didn't put all 4 gears in. Kind of surprised because kyosho is pretty good about quality. The grease not being on the gears was surprising too. Really glad I checked them before I ran it! 🤜🤛💯🔥🔥⚡⚡
Yes, both inside and outside. I just put enough in to almost fill the cavity with the back placed on. The lithium grease is fairly light, so it's not really a problem if you over fill it because it doesnt interfere with the gears spinning. On larger RC's, there are times when it's desirable to use a heavy grease or diff fluid that slows the gears down so that you can tune it by going heavier or lighter depending on what you want, but generally in these tiny models, the white lithium works fantastic for me. It makes them much smoother, quieter and faster. 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡😁👍
I love kyosho but I agree, I think that oem parts are difficult to get sometimes. During the pandemic you couldn't get hardly anything. I hope it's improved since then. Thanks for watching and commenting brother 💯 🤜 🤛
Remove the old grease and replace with fresh grease. I used lithium because it works well for small models. Thanks for commenting and watching brother!! 💯🤜🤛
Thank you! Yes, Kyosho sells all of the replacement parts for their vehicles. It's a a very fun and great looking car! Thanks for watching and commenting brother 💯 🤜 🤛
Hello friend! Good evening! how are you? Does anyone know if the kyosho mad van has grease in the stock differentials? I have never reviewed it for reasons of time. Has anyone already checked it? It's good to know before running it Blessings :) 
I'm not sure if anyone makes an upgraded version of that or not. If you ask in a kyosho forum I'm sure someone could tell you. So far mine has held up fine. 🙏💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡😁👍
@@riffraffsrc yeah i filled em up with grease from the machanic, total to not even see the gears anymore! Looked like peanutbutter😃but drives sooo smoth! Its very heatresist
Yeah, I think they don't want to pay for or can't get the licensing for it. It would also make the price higher. Kyosho makes so many licensened bodies it is kind of surprising that they didn't use a licensed one for the mad van. It's a beautiful body though nonetheless! Thanks for watching! 🙏💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡
Good catch, I keep telling people that even though it’s a ready to run you should go over everything just to make sure everything is right.
Thank you Brother! I agree completely, I always go over my RTR's before running them for the first time and inevitably always find something that isn't right or could potentially shorten the life or durability of them! I always admired that you feel the same way! 😁👍🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡💯
Excellent video! I hope to get a Mad Van one day.... love them.
Thank you Brother! It's a fun little truck for sure and it just looks beautiful! 🙏💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡
Thanks for the helpful tips
My pleasure! 😊

Me too, thanks for watching and for the comment brother! 💯 🤜 🤛
Top tips thanks. Always worth checking if they are building these things right :-)

Looking good man! 👍😃👍

Great video...so you put the white lithium grease inside and outside the diff on the gears? Did you put much inside?
Yes, both inside and outside. I just put enough in to almost fill the cavity with the back placed on.

I wish they had more oem products for the mad van ve .
I love kyosho but I agree, I think that oem parts are difficult to get sometimes. During the pandemic you couldn't get hardly anything. I hope it's improved since then. Thanks for watching and commenting brother 💯 🤜 🤛
Did you just add the lithium to the existing diff grease Or clean it & then put only lithium?
Remove the old grease and replace with fresh grease. I used lithium because it works well for small models. Thanks for commenting and watching brother!! 💯🤜🤛

@@zoridor16 mine was dry. That's why I made this video to tell people that they should check them. Thanks foe watching and commenting brother 💯 🤜 🤛
Does anyone know if there is another diff that’s compatible? My fa540-41 gear keeps breaking teeth every few runs 😢
I'm not sure if anyone makes an upgraded version of that or not. If you ask in a kyosho forum I'm sure someone could tell you. So far mine has held up fine. 🙏💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡😁👍
The diffs are really a joke...i mean what u showed 😂mine were the same shame!!!!! Thx mister
