Thanks
1st get a more bigger battery will increase power and play time. 2nd upgrade motor .3rd upgrade esc to match motor.4th change tyres and finally pinion gear.
Next step: just get a new rc car
I bought my first RC car yesterday, its a Rustler 4x4 Vlx, and i added a light kit and i also added a wheelie bar to keep the car on the ground more because it has alot power and it has a jump start. This video was really helpful and i hope to apply these upgrades on my car later. Its runs 115 kmh so im good for now!
how much did it cost
i tried putting 3s on my brushed kasemoto shockwave it says it support it but the results i saw was a motor on fire and it left me with a heavy bill but it was worth the fast speed but short runs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
😂😂😂
one of the best ways to reduce friction to your car is to grind the pinion teeth so that it has a cone shape rather than a square shape
Great tips for getting Top Speed..and knowing your terrian is a must.. Grass, Hills, Dirt, Gravel, Sand.. xcetera .. Neat Video Brother ✌️😎 👍 HFLPRCing
Richey, we need more 4-tec videos! Love em. Thanks man.
Great video! Thanks!!!
Great and simple instructions
He's doing it the hard way.
from my experience its just cheaper to start with the higher end vehicle. Ive started with the low end vehicle and upgraded and spent way more than just buying the one thats already upgraded but i get it. start out and upgrade as you can. understood
well I got one for free, so I'll just upgrade that one lol
I am totaly a gree whit you is better buy the better thing first
General Hobbies same here im gonna get the rustler vxl 100 bucks more but in the end it's cgeaper
I agree it’s true just purchased my first rc truck a redact volcano 1/18 and already spent some good money on upgrades and now I feel that it’s too small looking to purchase a traxxas E-revo does anyone recommend it?
BayArea stunts & sideshows I would I have one and it's a blast you can go some many more places and in the snow they don't get stuck
Yes. Proper information and simple.
I’ve got a tamiya hornet it’s great for all terrain and easy to build would really recommend
nice vid again. Thank you for this
Very usefull information bro
Hi I have a project with a jada rc toy grade and I want to know where I can buy new gear for my AWD rc please someone any advice on wat I should b looking for
It’s a toy grade they won’t sell parts
This video helped so much thanks
Thank you I found your tips helpful and I subscribed
David glad they were of use
Fantastic vid brother again 🙂😁🙂
How do you determine if your esc can go from Ni-MH to LiPo, cause i dont see it addressed in the manual. Can i just going by max imput voltage? for example my esc can handle 4.8 - 8.4volts so can i put in any LiPo that is under 8.4? Thanks and love the vid!
Great info! Just wondering are you gonna do some drifting videos again?
Great video brother. Ive liked and subbed you my friend because I think I can learn alot from your videos well done 😁👍😁👍
Thxs!
Your welcome my freind. Ill learnt alot from you guys 😊👍😊
Driftomaniacs , I've had to unsubscribe and subscribe so the notification bell works for your channel brother, it works now so can keep up with your amazing videos 👌😁👌
Awesome video. Ty so much 😃🤟🤟
whats the differential you use in the video from?
If I downgrade the spur gear I Traxxas slash 2wd do I have to upgrade the pinion gear or is it fine
Great tips for a nube like me. Thanks
Glad it's of help
where did u get the first background music from?
Good stuff
Very cool bro
If your a hobbyist and want to make it go faster, would getting better parts in the same case even if you have to redo the whole thing for Practice be possible?
Hey good show I changed mine to mod gears and replace the esc and motor for the set up out of the st generation X-max it runs on 6s. Just got it together last night and roast the tires right off the bat. A little hard to drive but man what a monster. I would like some solid rubber street tires for this. Do you know where to find them? Let me know. Thanks
Eric
Eric street tires for which car? You don't mention which one. Let me know
MOAR POWAR!
You need way more subs and likes
working on it!
They weir great tips I'm am going to use every single one of them thanks it really will help
Nice vid
do you or someone else know if the stock esc that comes with the wltoys 144001 can run 3s?
thanks for the hints. have you done anything to the 4-tec 2.0 to improve the handling?
Way too much to list in this comment check out the 4tec mod videos I've done (Search my videos) and I list all the parts I've used.
@@DriftomaniacsRC great. thanks a lot.
have upgraded mine too. but still a lot of oversteer...
7:21 i have that exact motor
Is that a good one will it go fast?
Sry I’m a noob ._.
Same I noob
Axel Johansson I hear it’s okay.
Yes it’s a pretty good motor it can go up to 3s lipos and it pretty fast
Hi I’m looking for a rc car with speed (70mph +) and a gps remote which I can take for a spin whilst not being physically present if you get me and obvious a camera but I can install that myself thanks where can I buy it from??
Atif Ali Traxxas 4-Tec Vxl goes 70mph+
Can you make a video where you mod a toy grade and how to convert double A’s to lipo I have a toy grade also a servo?
I am always open to ideas and indeed this crossed my mind at the weekend, as they're some awesome toy cars out there with great bodies but are all show no go if you know what I mean
Banggood . com has some good RCs for the same price you'd pay for a toy grade RC. Upgrading the Banggood RC can sometimes be impossible, but they do sell spare stock parts if you break something.
But what gears do we use for a 1/10 rc to go fast
All good advice, but what about using a body with better aerodynamics and less wind resistance?
A very good point. On speed runs the body has a massive impact.
Very informative....
David i hope some or all of them help. I've done a few more of these 'tip' videos since then
I’ve just bought myself an Arrma BLX ESC and 4Pole Matching Motor. Will deans connectors do for these?
depends on battery power e.g amps and C rating
Driftomaniacs be running mostly 3s
would you recomend 2.2 in or 3.26 in foam tires? (that is the wheel diameter)
Hi what car are we talking about them being for?
It would be for the slash 2wd, I’m thinking 2.2 just for more handling
Hunter Bikes You should get the regular short course tires for a slash.
More torque and speed even?
Im new to the rc game so I'm sorry if this is a silly question. I've got a Arrma Tyhpon 3s and it's completely stock. I'm running 3s with a 26 tooth pinion. It's great fun but would love to run a 4s Lipo.
Is that possible with a stock 3s?
No if you use 4s you will fry the ESC
@@DriftomaniacsRC Cheers Drift 😎
I have upgrade arrma granite with hobbywing ezrun max10 combo. But i have a problem with pinion. I need a 5mm 48dp 14T 15T 17T or 27T. But i can not found nothing. Can you help me where i can found one
There lies your problem 48p 5mm gears are like hens teeth. You should switch to mod 1 gears as that's really what the 5mm is for. That's what I'd do. I like you have trawled the net for hours before looking for 5mm gears in 32 and 48 p the sizes are VERY limited
@@DriftomaniacsRC Sometimes that can even be a bother if your RC runs a specific style spur gear, such as found on a 2 wheel drive Traxxas product.
What can be done if you notice that the front wheels are getting more power than the rear wheels on an AWD buggy? What can be done with the center diff?
thicker diff oil in the centre one! like 1 or 2 mill diff oil I'm not joking
I have a rc Rock crawler I want to make it faster wich battery would u recommend?
Change the gearing first of all. You need to fit a battery that won’t burn out the esc. Also I would not make a rock crawler faster buy a buggy or mt for speed
Ohh ok thnx😁
Arrma is the best. just got a granite and it is amazing
love my granite! Order the uprated rear diff input shaft though! Trust me it will break! Also love my Senton 6s BLX. fit no more than 35-3600kv motor in the granite if going brushless don't be tempted by high KV's
Good vid. I subbed and look forward to seeing more. 👍
How can i upgrade the battery
Smaller is slower but a lot more torque so good for burnout cars the bigger the more speed but less torque
Wow I had no idea about the bearings
foxx s911 compatible with which type lipo battery?
You would need to contact them. They have very odd non standard connectors or at least the S912 I tested did.
What is the best motor under 100$
How do I know what fits into my car
hi, can my 8,4v buggy handle this batterys
Sorry no idea without knowing far more about, you'd need to check the esc specifications to see if it'll work with a Lipo and what voltage lipo.
Where do you get the batteries?
from my LHS or if online Ovonic
3:15 - Wait what??? Increasing gearing increases speed?? I think is the other way around. In fact, as you increase the number of teeth, you increase your torque and gain some acceleration but you will loose top speed. But if you reduce number of teeth, you will have a much higher top speed, but a horrible acceleration as your torque will considerally decrease
i undeerstand all that to a point, however I'd suggest turning the upside down manual the right way up or doing like we do and drive the cars............I really wouldn't have posted this........
@@DriftomaniacsRC yeah i mean i’m not an space x engineer. Of course i could be making a mistake. I didn’t ment to offend
No worries at all.10yrs into this I’m stilll learning and I llearn off you guys ever single day don’t be afraid afraid to have a pop at me as I regularly talk too fast and f’it up it’s you lot that keep me grounded so BBB never ever be afraid to call me out. We all get it wrong sometimes me more than most. Hope you and yours are staying safe. Not easy times for any of us. And damn this autocorrect txt!!!!
One note I should add is it is more the voltage produced by the battery pack that will give an increase in speed. The reason I'm saying this is because if you are used to running an 8.4 volt Nihm battery and think you will get more speed from a comparable mAh 2 cell lipo, your RC will be slower due to the drop in voltage.
Lane that's a good point, and as an electronic engineer I should've pointed that out. Case in question a lot of the 'stock' traxxas cars go faster on the inc Nimh than they do on a 2S pack. Volts equals speed for sure!
A fully charged 2s LiPo is 8.44v. And a NiMH will drop voltage dramatically so it's definitely slower to run a NiMH.
Would putting bigger wheels on your car make it faster?
Yes BUT it will also put a lot of strain on the motor which will draw more current and hence the ESC will run hotter as will the motor. Do it for long and you'll fry one or the other. That's why it's not listed here! Hope that helps!
but halving the dear ratio won't???
you have no idea what you're talking about
A little bit but they mostly give you grip
Driftomaniacs thx
the larger tires generally increase aerodynamic drag
But the most satisfying buy is a battery upgrade acvording to me 👍🏻
i agree
I just put an sidewinder 4 in my 2wd stampede and it’s bonkers
What if i swap my spur and pinion places?
Then your motor will most likely overheat in seconds! Gearing changes aren't quite that simple. Or do you mean simply change the ratios, I first thought you meant just swap them over!
I bought a really shitty RC car off Amazon the holy ton RC car it has 1700mm battery’s 2.4GHz brushed motor any tips to make it run better
You can even use a lego for changing the bearings?
Can anyone tell me a good website I can get these better parts instead of just regular replacement parts?maybe one with cheaper parts? lol
what car for? RPM do lots of super tough replacement parts for a wide range of popular RC's things like suspension arms etc.
Can you convert a model car into a RC?
just about anything can be done. Looking at a good scale car to convert to an RC? Bigger is better as it's easier to work on, but if you've a small model in mind to convert then you can buy 1/24 or 1/16 motors, ingenuity and time is all it takes. What model did you have in mind?
@@DriftomaniacsRC I'll give you the model car
Great tips and all in really apriciate them but 20 dollars for bearings? I could order them for 5 dollars
With bearings you tend to get what you pay for. Even a basic set for a traxxas car will set you back $20. Not sure what you refer to buying for $5 as I wasn't specific in this video. Glad the rest helped though.
Good for you..
What is 2 4 6 and 8s?
they refer to lipo batteries, most stuff will take 2/3S, bigger cars 6s (2x3s) and 1/5 electric cars 8s (2x4s) hope that helps a little.
Imagine swapping the pinion and spur gear around
🔥 or overheating
@Driftomaniacs true
Thank you get tips for noobs
Putting a 44 tooth pinion and 12s system in 1/16 scale slash
Arrma for win
0:16 switch vid right away
Why?
Hi please say how to make crazy racing rc car to go faster
what car?
Use a 16v engine
Driftomaniacs your car
Driftomaniacs I assume crazy racing is a brand.
I thought it was bigger pinion = more torque and smaller pinion = more top end?
No the opposite, small pinion for torque, bigger one for speed. But it's easy to overgear a car and end up with less speed. I've just shot a video highlighting this with 23T fitted to my new erevo.
I see wot u did there m9. There's two gears. The pinion and the spur. Pinions attached to the motor. Spur is not. Bigger spur means moar powah less top speed. Smaller spur means more top speed but less power.
You were thinking of spurs.
2600kv 6slipo big pinion 100 mph
2600kv is too much for 6s LiPo even on normal gearing. You need like 2000kv.
Ok... I know I'm late to the party in this but.... what is the best way to make a brushed car go a bit faster than it is straight out of the box?
Not too late at all. A simple gear change is the best way to get more speed, swapping the pinion and the spur gear will give you more top speed although you'll lose a touch of acceleration. The top one after that is fit bearings all round. Any more questions fire away!
If the car cuts out from hard use, a higher C battery will alleviate the problem. The other benefits is that it will have a higher top speed, acceleration, and a lower battery temp.
100%
714 mp/h challenge here I come
See my Lightning McQeen Toy car crossed with a 3s Tamiya Grasshopper at my Channel. The Grasshopper was destroyed after a 60 km/h crash and i had a toy car in my hobbyroom. So why should i not pimp my Lightning McQueen?
Battery with higher c rating =more speed
You are preaching to the converted (check out my videos on batteries). The higher the C rating the more the chance the pack stands of giving the stated voltage e.g. 3S, when under full load. A lower C rating means instead of giving 11.1V under full load it may only give out 9. Higher C rating may mean it gives out the full 11.1 under full load. I often use the example of regular gas or premium gas, you're car will run on either but give more hp on premium. Thanks for the comment though.
WARNING: IF YOU PUT ON BIGGER GEARING. IT CAN OVERHEAT FASTER. HOW BIGGER THE GEARING, HOW HIGHER THE CHANCE OF OVERHEATING. AND THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR MOTOR
Hay nipper it decreases the motor speed so it with make the RC go faster
I have an independent motor
i do not have everything
great bro. but i have no car...
Arrma Granite 4x4 goes 1 mph faster with a 2S battery... Heads up for anyone thinking about getting one... It runs 21mph out of the box
I had one of the original arrma granites they are VERY optimistic with that 30+ mph, the most I got with the speed pinion was about 28. No way would that thing go over 30 even with a 50C rated lipo!
Driftomaniacs thanks for the info!
I have a smaller rc car that was only like 60 dollars
i got probably the cheapest rc car ever, it has 2 dc motors one to steer the front wheels one to accelerate and it doesnt even have gears lol
What about 5 ways to make it slower?? I crash too much😞
take the batteries out! :-)
😆😆😆too funny👍
You could always change your cars running mode if its available or change to smaller gearing. My 2wd stampede has pretty small gearing and it does insane wheelies, but runs a bit slower.
gear down
yo i have the same car lmao
My car is $50, is that considered cheap in the RC world?
It is a little however there are many great low cost cars out there. I test a few lower cost ones as I realise that not everyone has $200 or 500 to get a new one. A great car at around this price point is the A959 - it cones in various powered options inc 370 motor, 540 motor, and even brushless. All below $70
Let's just say the "cheap" in the RC world is $150-$200 lol. $200-$350 is decent. $400 and up now towards expensive side. However, Cost doesn't correlate with the amount of "Fun" you are getting. I have just as much fun with micro Zip Zaps, compared to my ABC hobby brushless tuned track car that costs me $400 plus.
What do you think
I know ways go fast but my RC car is dc Motor not Traxxas motor
I have a traxxas xmax and that's shit is fast with a 8 battery
One easy way to make it go slower?.
For the love of God please slow down. All of that was at 90 miles an hour or kilometres an hour. Hard to understand
apologies trying to talk slower. For give this Brit, I spent 5 years in NJ where everything is talked about high speed, like ordering food in NYC!
@@DriftomaniacsRC no worries man I like the info you give just want to be able to get all of it. As someone from the east coast guess I never thought about how difficult it must be for someone new to the country to understand us. Keep up the good work.
No worries! Thanks for the feedback it is genuinely appreciated, sometimes it's like WTF!!!! BUT I keep trying to slow down I really do! I was in NJ for 5 years and you walk into a fast food place and they want your order like 5 mins before you walked in same as in NYC!, here in CA it's way more laid back. Brit abroad trying to work both coasts!!! 6 years over here, don't get me started on politics though!!!!! I'll try and slow down some more! All feedback on stuff like this is much appreciated though.Thxs Richie
$20? You sound English so do you mean 20 quid
Jay I'm English but live in California so $20 it is!
seriously?? a 3S is gonna go faster than a 2S battery?? This needed to be stated and is a "tip"???
wow.
Hey wow you aren't new to RC then? BUT Put yourselves in the shoes of the person who is new to RC and wants to know how to go faster. When you started out you didn't know all this stuff you learnt it from other people or online so give the people new to the hobby some help! Did they teach how to make RC's go faster at your school? Did you know everything about RC from birth? you need to think of people new to RC - I do!
yeah ok bud.
Driftomaniacs
Nice...
I diss agree with this if you have a 3s with 20c and a 2s with 200c the 2 cell is faster
@@racingrivals8934 No. C rating doesn't mean speed.
