I removed the main board and replaced it with a receiver for my transmitter (FS-GT3B) and a single 10A brushed ESC for both motors, took the steering mechanism apart and changed it to a servo inside the casing using the original servo arm, and changed the battery to a 2S Li-Ion, and this thing has REALLY changed!! I now have fully proportional steering and throttle, as well as the extra power from the Li-Ion, and my model goes absolutely anywhere now!! $5 for the receiver, another $5 for the ESC, the servo is one I had lying around (a larger 16g one with metal gearing), and the battery I made out of 2 old Nokia batteries!! I also added 4 SMD type white LEDs on the top fake light cluster to make it look even better!!
alishanmao sorry, I don't do videos... camera-shy hehehe I did take some photos of the mod though... i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2476_zpsurkkcqom.jpg i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2475_zps5cwtotua.jpg i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2478_zpsvs2wugrs.jpg i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2481_zpstkwg6sta.jpg
so i just bought 2 of these, and there was a promotion for 3-7 day priority shipping from china for FREE!!!!! I paid 54$ and change for 2. i got a red and green. I plan on doing hobby grade electronics, and 4 wheel steering. Cheers and thanks for the vid!
I have bough one of those HB 666 Rock Crawlers and in green color as well. These things are comparable if not better to the well known Maisto Rock Crawler Extreme. The must do's with this Crawler are getting yourself some super glue and glue the tires to the rims, so you get all the power and no skid from the rubber tire, also a bigger capacity battery wich is easy to find and cheap. I can say that it can take a 7.4v LiPo that you can find easily as well for drones, but the speed gets so ridiculously high that it's almost a drawback rather than a benefit. 4.8v batteries give it adecuate speed/power ratio. I'm having a lot of fun as well with this RC, it's a recommended purchase from me.
+Habieru84 Well said, Glue the tires is an option to get full power out, but that will over load motors :) I have one in Red Color, I might get that out later :D to some more fun.
+RC Hunter I can not confirm for sure, since i did not take apart any of the motor enclosures. But i am almost certain that they are very low geared 180 size motors, the bottom side of the motor that can be seen underneat is flat, and that is common to all 180 size motors as far as i know.
Habieru84 i am thinking of replacing the stock battery pack with 7.4v 2000 mAh battery pack you mentioned above..... I know that there will be a serious upgrade in power, but will it affect the longevity of the reciever board and the motor? Thanks in advance for the answer!
Habieru84 I'm glad I read your comment. I was just about to grab a Maisto Extremem for my kid. In what ways is this one better, in your opinion? The Maisto have any better points? Any other competitors to look at in the last couple of years in the toy grade crawler market? Thanks!
Seeing as the battery pack is only nicad and not lipo do you think it would be ok to convert it to run on standard AA batteries? A set of Eneloop pros would offer nearly 4 times the mah. I know that lipo batteries have MUCH greater current but as far as I know nicad isn't very different from nimh in terms of internal resistance so in theory an AA conversion could provide much better runtime with a cheap and fast charging power source, a couple of sets of eneloops could potentially get hours of runtime. I've very tempted to experiment with this mod, if the standard battery pack was lipo I wouldn't even dream of doing it but as it's nicad I'm not sure there would be much of a negative impact on performance, just a greatly increased run time, thoughts?
I bought mine for at least 2 years now and trying to restore it. The shocks are rusted and was trying to replace or repaint them. Now that I saw this, did it really help?
+Jim H i paid $60 bux more or less for an SCX10 deadbolt. I trim the throttle to a good speed and let my 2 year old son steer it. Yea he bashes, rolls, and drives straight into bushes, and guess what? I don't care! Sadly I like the toy grade stuff even more than my axial line up. I get a wicked satisfaction from upgrading the hell out of toys
I plan to use this with a Gopro and light mounted on it to scope for leaky water pipes and other issues in the crawlspace underneath my house. Should be pretty ideal and for 30 bucks, given the functionality, you just can't beat it.
2 months from Gearbest, about as fast as the shipping speed Call it the "Conqueror"... that what it has embedded in the plastic. Perfect for kids who cant drive slow and hit things alot. Should take the circuit board out and coat it with liquid tape before hitting the puddles. It also has an outlet at 5v on the board for lights, lol.
Just got this for my son as a Christmas present but I'm having a problem, the indicator light on the transmitter blinks red 2 minutes after he drives it then the truck stops working, the battery in the truck is fully charged so I don't understand why I'm getting this problem. How long is this truck suppose to run on a full charge and what can be causing this problem?
+alishanmao You would be better off boiling them and then making a dough with flour and water, then frying them in peanut oil. That is what my Italian mother does when she picks them:)
+alishanmao They are all over, but in this frame at 10:09, the right wheel is touching one of the dandelions (weeds). I would not trust those to eat, go to store and get what is called dandelions.
I agree, a speed control would've made this extremely fun. BTW if anyone was wondering, the hobby grade rc that this toy imitates is the Vaterra Slick Rock, which is over 200 dollars.
i have a 2wd hobby grade RC that I run and do dirt track and gravel drifting in and my 5yo daughter has showed interest in getting an RC aswell however she is quite young and lacks the ability to actively run throttle and steering at the same time smoothly so I have looked at one of these for her as a learner car... wanted to get something cheap that doesn't matter if she bashes and still has enough power and clearance that it wont just spent 90% of the time stuck on gravel rocks... would you consider this worth my time and money to get her? our RC time has turned into our own little father daughter bonding time and I don't want to lose that just because she doesn't have her own truck to drive with me
I was using this toy and it was perfectly working fone. However i used a higher voltage battery and since then it has stopped working.pls advise if i can change the chip inside the car and where do i get one?
Hi Alishanmao, Sir can you please help me. I also have this car and after using a couple of months its not going straight i pull that trigger back but suddenly it veers left rather than going straight And if i use the adjusting switch to left or right it goes to that particular direction only. Sir please help me pls make a video on how to adjust this car. Or at least give me some suggestions. Please sir. Yours sincerely Randy.
FOR THE PRICE YOU CANT BEAT THAT AND YOU CAN EVEN PLAY WITH CIRCUIT BOARD CHANGING AS IT IS 4WD IN GEARS SO YOU COULD CHANGE OUT A BETTER BOARD AND CONTROLLER WITH SPEED CONTROL ALSO.AWESOME
I have a New Bright R/C Rock Crawler Pro Dirt Jeep thats not working and would like to get it fixed. I live in PA and want to know if you can recommend a repair shop near me. or could I send it to you for repair.
This is an upgraded version of the Miasto crawler which came out few years ago. There are easy mods you can do to this. I have one its fun out of the box and more fun after some lil mods.. changing the motors to more powerful one is easy and if you know how to solder you can add connectors for better batteries.. and adding lights to it makes it look cooler ever more..
It needs more weight to create more friction, As the toy is lightweight it cant create enough friction due to which wheels loose grip on the ground while climbing up.
I have a couple of these and for the money it's a great little machine. My 4 year old loves them.
I removed the main board and replaced it with a receiver for my transmitter (FS-GT3B) and a single 10A brushed ESC for both motors, took the steering mechanism apart and changed it to a servo inside the casing using the original servo arm, and changed the battery to a 2S Li-Ion, and this thing has REALLY changed!!

alishanmao Well, you can see what I did in the photos :D
cool! where did you buy the reciever and the esc and what brand are they? I want to make my crawler fully proportional too
I have like this it's nice and good rc

+RC Hunter fancy seeing you here! I just ordered a WlToys a979
+George P-V I barely found this guy's channel through a friend Daniel Wu.
What sort of esc can be added? What motors does it have? 240 or something?

Ha ha nice crawling and fighting through them big rocks :) Thumbs up ! :)
Just bought one for my son for Christmas. I’m so glad I saw your review. I was worried this RC car was a dud. Thank you
I'm thinking of buying my boy (7) one this Christmas.
How did it go with yours?

please tell me how to convert to it
Very nice video. I love it. 좋아요!!
good video, showing more of what the lil thing can do... let my actions speak for itself
wondering how we modify it with a speed controler?
I have an rc car like that but it's blu. Howww did it's life gets longer. The Ni Cd battery is 700 mah which it's short lifed car.
Can i also run this on 7,4 volts?
Would probably destroy the motor since it runs on a 3v~4v motor, hence the 4.8v battery
If it had softer tires it would be way better
Cody Orr te tires don’t have air in them
Give it to me I'll give you $42
If it had proportional control you wouldn't have wheel spin, because you could ease into the throttle instead of instant full power.
Do you wont to sell the rc cer i will by it for 50 dollers
I have one and it have soft tyres!
Edit:Verry soft!
Thanks
I love your RC video, keep it up bro... Salam eid mubarak
Wassalam Eid Mubarak,
Thanks for the review.
I took the springs off Mine and it helped a lot
I bought mine for at least 2 years now and trying to restore it. The shocks are rusted and was trying to replace or repaint them. Now that I saw this, did it really help?
If your kid is always wanting to play with your hobby crawler, I would definitely get them this. would be fun climbing together.
+Jim H My Kid played with it for a while then got busy with his other toys lol. He has too many of these toys
+Jim H i paid $60 bux more or less for an SCX10 deadbolt. I trim the throttle to a good speed and let my 2 year old son steer it.

Amazing crawler, amazing weeds can manage to grow within those rocks!
+Vparanormal1 really, can you point those weeds out? Maybe i can enjoy some high time :D
+alishanmao You would be better off boiling them and then making a dough with flour and water, then frying them in peanut oil. That is what my Italian mother does when she picks them:)
+Vparanormal1 hmm but which one are those? Can you point out exactly in video. Like at what time stamp do they appear? :D LOL Its worth a try
+alishanmao They are all over, but in this frame at 10:09, the right wheel is touching one of the dandelions (weeds). I would not trust those to eat, go to store and get what is called dandelions.
is it good for winter
what are the measurements of the car?
long and wide.
How's the battery life
N3ON CLIPS 20min
We're in the 21st century, there's no excuse not to have a variable throttle now lol
+Green Silver Yup, just need excuses to go cheaper and cheaper
+alishanmao AT THAT PRICE, IT'S PHENOMENAL, I WILL BE BUYING A FEW OF THEM AND MODDING THEM TO DEATH!
I agree, a speed control would've made this extremely fun. BTW if anyone was wondering, the hobby grade rc that this toy imitates is the Vaterra Slick Rock, which is over 200 dollars.
Its worth paying the extra 160 vs getting this junk
@@S30Uploads Did you mod them?
i remember this rc i bought this one year ago and front motor stopped working 1 week of use
This is good?
I have a Rock Crawler, But it is alloy material.. It can have a go on the dry construction sand...
i have a 2wd hobby grade RC that I run and do dirt track and gravel drifting in and my 5yo daughter has showed interest in getting an RC aswell however she is quite young and lacks the ability to actively run throttle and steering at the same time smoothly so I have looked at one of these for her as a learner car... wanted to get something cheap that doesn't matter if she bashes and still has enough power and clearance that it wont just spent 90% of the time stuck on gravel rocks... would you consider this worth my time and money to get her? our RC time has turned into our own little father daughter bonding time and I don't want to lose that just because she doesn't have her own truck to drive with me
Gaming Made Simple yup but the batteries tho
I purchased the newest one but did not come with a charger, only the cable.
I also saw this both 1/16 & the bigger size ones too in singapore you store! ☺
There fun for trail crawler. I turned a 6x6
can it be modded for proportional ?
You also sold your Linchon?
how did you waterproof it can you show us the link pra make a vídeo
I have the same toy and it's not bad actually. Not like I'm pro or anything but I liked it
hobby grade gang where u at
Nice wow reminds me of my 6x6 content so cool ❗❗👍👍
Glad you like it
mine is 1:16 scale rock crawler victorious.. i want to put esc, big motor and big voltage battery. is it possible?
is it waterproof?
how fast does it go in a smooth area.
it is verry nice
9:34 the back tire is spinning without the wheel well I’d glue that on and you will get way better performqnce
How much distance it will go
Whats the link to the RC vehicle in the Video? I would like to buy one.
Hey bro is this waterproof? nd how much hour the battery remain
no it is not. about 20min
Kiran Ellis Around 20min
Does it's batteries come already charged or do we need to charge them before first use
musim si ho kupit to auto je cool
where did u get it
The struggle is real 😂😂
Its the same of the maisto Rock crawler
How much is this truck
I was using this toy and it was perfectly working fone. However i used a higher voltage battery and since then it has stopped working.pls advise if i can change the chip inside the car and where do i get one?
Super Cars :-)
This truck adjust the changed body
I like to know were to get one
How long is its charging time
Hi Alishanmao,
Sir can you please help me. I also have this car and after using a couple of months its not going straight i pull that trigger back but suddenly it veers left rather than going straight And if i use the adjusting switch to left or right it goes to that particular direction only. Sir please help me pls make a video on how to adjust this car. Or at least give me some suggestions.
Please sir.
Yours sincerely

The motor on the driving shaft probably is destroyed or worn out
an mrc does the same but is battery operated.
RealRc pt I think this is battery operated too
FOR THE PRICE YOU CANT BEAT THAT AND YOU CAN EVEN PLAY WITH CIRCUIT BOARD CHANGING AS IT IS 4WD IN GEARS SO YOU COULD CHANGE OUT A BETTER BOARD AND CONTROLLER WITH SPEED CONTROL ALSO.AWESOME
Hillbillyrepair i thought it has only one speed
Just bought one for my lad what sort of battery life do you get of 700mah unit
How much is the rock crawler
I want to buy but how it is
Chenglish is a perfect way to describe the way the manuals are translated in these 😂
Can you explain what he meant by problem with chenglish please?
I have a bigger version of that one I have had it for about 3 years and still works perfectly
Will you recommend speed controled crawler or RC car on budget
How much this in nepali currency?
During battery?
where can i buy one like it?
+Mario Guzman there is a link in video description
Could you pass me the site where i could buy the battery for this RC car model
Should i remove the led light from it?
How much do you think it would, cost to put good electronics in like Traxxas tq controler or fly sky stuff and Traxxas xl5 motor and esc
How much miles per hour i might buy this
It's ment to go really slow I've got a really hobby grade one there ment to go very slow
How fast is it
I have a New Bright R/C Rock Crawler Pro Dirt Jeep thats not working and would like to get it fixed. I live in PA and want to know if you can recommend a repair shop near me. or could I send it to you for repair.

@@LuisOrion13 for battery upgrade, you can simply buy a 4.8 volts 2400 mAH battery on amazon. this will give you more play time.
555TIMER PWM SWITCH IN THE CONTROLLER WITH SPEED CONTROL KNOB WOULD BE AWESOME AND HELP THIS THING
+david webb Really good idea! Do you think the original controller would be fast/responsive enough to make it crawl decent?
That does well for the price. Always looking for cheap good rc for my kids.
I have that and I love it
Even I have this it's working well
How long you can play after you charged the car?
tunkun li 50 minutes
About 20-25min
good
max speed kmh?
izel ayata 6km/hr
what is the maximum speed of car ?
How we want to fix the charger
this car full charge time ?????
It needs more weight to create more friction, As the toy is lightweight it cant create enough friction due to which wheels loose grip on the ground while climbing up.
Sorry, you are not correct. It needs a propotional digital electronic speed controller. Not more weight.
Which one is better 1/18 scale or 1/10?
1/10 is double the size pretty much than 1/18
+KILLRSTINK123 Tw i see thanks for the info
1/18
+Julien Julien 1/18 is better in what way?
How many time it take to full charge??
Pritam Das :
8 hours for the first time removed from the box
nice
what is the price
Jahangir Baloch $31
I like it
