Notes from possible confusion in the video:
@9:15 - The pliers have a small piece of tape to prevent etching on the shock shaft. Be careful not to scratch your shock shaft when gripping them!
@20:30 - The battery leads are soldered to the side of the plugs to reduce resistance and provide a little extra grip when unplugging your battery.
Ryan Harris hey I have no idea how haven’t seen your channel before but I am so glad I did!! I love the positivity and how helpful you are!!! Great job!!
ryan try cowrc cleaner i use all there producs they work well
Packaging tape is the tape I use. Its very thick and durable tape
Love watching your videos, informative and interesting to watch,
Thanks for a great channel.
You got 2s lipo’s with your name on them? I think I saw them That’s when you know you have arrived
My friends think I’m so weird for loving to clean my cars. I find it very satisfying to get all of the grime out and to tune the car to perfection.
Everybody makes this hobby in his own way, so you can do whatever you want and dont need to do what others say. You buy/do what makes you happy
love the video! I suggest that you resolder wire to the battery terminal into the top of it (in the "indented C" area) fill with solder for a much stronger bond, Cheers!!
Haha, Leave it to Ryan to post a video about breaking down and cleaning a car right after I do it! Such informative and well edited videos. I love them.
Now I just need to apply all your info to my Slash I'm prepping to race, and go have some fun!
Thanks again!!
Sorry I was late! Haha hope it helps in the future 👍
Ryan Harris Oh it will! I do have to thank you a lot for all your tips and tricks. I've got some new CF parts and an LCG chassis on order to make it handle a tad better.
When money is a bit more abundant in my wallet and I have my mode of transportation reliably fixed, then I may venture into Buggy or Touring car racing, but until then, my Slash will do. Go tear up those tracks! And maybe not tear up the car, lol.
JRR R/C i tink that you are wasting your money by trying to race your slash.
Is heavvy and old, just get a quality kit
Dark godz If I were to do that, I would have to travel over 2 hours to the closest track that runs such cars. My local track runs 2wd sct, 4wd sct, open sct, USGT, Slash spec, and Vaterra Spec.
I personally like the heft of the Slash, helps me really feel the car. I dont really mind not being competitive, I'm not doing this to become the #1 racer and gets 10 sponsors, I'm just doing this for fun.
JRR R/C i do it for fun too.
Tip for you my friend when you are tinning the solder leave the rubber on first, tin it, and then take off the rubber. I usually cut it and don’t strip till after I solder, seems to give better looking and more consistent solders.
Thank you for your in-depth videos and easy to understand way of explaining it. Also the clarity in your videos and light is too notch. 👌🏻
I purchased the Aluminum Chassis RC10 back in 2008 and YES it is clean. It is still mint. It has never had the Radio System installed or the battery. It still looks brand new, because technically it is.
You put so much knowledge out there...
We appreciate you brother!
Thank you! I'm currently taking notes and studying up on rc cars and how to repair them so I can get a job at a hobby shop. This has been really helpful
I really like your videos. I see that you are working on both 2wd and 4wd buggies. As someone looking to get back into offroad RC, I would love to hear your thoughts on 10th scale 2WD buggy vs 4WD buggy vs 8th scale buggy. Driving, price of entry, competition level, cost to race, etc. Thank you and thumbs up!
This was really helpful although I am a basher not a racer. Thank you!
EL Valenin same, but a clean car runs better, so it's still some useful information.
I bash/ race. I keep all of my rings clean, even when bashing it helps to take the same steps as a race prep. If your car is nicely maintained, you're gonna have a good day
EL Valenin I have different rigs for everything. Road, rally and bashing
Really enjoy your videos can tell you love what you do top job on the car
An alternative to the crc silicone spray is maxima SC-1. it's a silicone based detail spray go dirt bikes and mountain bikes.
Still running my B6.1, lost track how many times i have watched this video.
On the diff rebuild portion, it seems that you barely use any of the clear silicone grease. I’ve always packed each ball in a dab of grease in the diff gear. I used to build some of the smoothest diffs back in the day. Now on my modern cars I can’t seem to get them all that smooth even when using new parts and breaking it in. Thanks for the great video Ryan. Can you do an outdoor tire prep video discussing tricks and tips about closed cell vs open cell inserts?
Iv done a LOT of soldering in my 29 years. My friend, those I'm sure hold fine and they look good and secure.... BUT... they could be soooooooo much cleaner! 😁 thank you for the vids and expertise, I actually pulled out the old 8ight t 2.0 to give it its bi yearly tear down and clean.
great vid. liked and subbed. I have rebuilt one car fully and ended up spending over $350😂😂😂 so annoying rebuilding a car with all stripped hexes 😂
I just throw mine in the wifes dish washer! Use pot and pan setting and you would be suprised at how clean everything gets. The rinse solution like jet dry really makes the plastics pop. Then use the heat cycle to dry everything. When everything thing is said and done, your RC car or truck will look great. Then just carry it out to the dumpster because if you followed my advice, you just destroyed your RC Vehicle. lol. Great video! I higly recommend this video guys. Leave the dish washer for dishes. Your mom or wife will appreciate it and so will your wallet.
Not if you are into crawlers like me, I've used the garden hose many times to clean my rigs but the again I've fully submerged them in muddy water anyways lol.
Looks mint when its finished. 👌🏻👍🏻
Ryan Harris possibly the next person to have a business like Wallie Builds??? Just a thought... ;)
Haha I can hear my wife now... "Please stop working on your rc cars 24/7" lol
You've been using the silicone spray for a while with no problems? On the can it says not for use on plastic.
gti2756 Did you figure this out? I have the CRC silicone spray but am worried it could damage the plastic parts...
Super helpful Ryan👍
What plastic parts should I be spraying with the CRC silicone Lubricant with! ? Because it says on the can not to be used on plastics!
one of your best videos. really useful, great tips. genial
Is it okay to throw a little electrical tape on the ends of the battery terminals? Makes me nervous seeing exposed wire.
*Nice bro, I will do the pastique stuff, looks great specialy if you drive in 1/10!!*
Song at the end is Teenage dream by Loving Caliber in case anyone was wondering. I Google it for ya.
Thanks.
Thank you !
Keep on.. these are great vids.. 💪
*an rc car
Nice video 👍
great vid again Ryan i cant wait for the next one👍
Thanks for the support Tony!
Hay Ryan Harris can you please Mack a video on a yokomo yz4 sf
Great video!
Truth: She’s clean. I can’t stand to have them sit dirty for any period of time. 😁
Nice dude! Clean is the way to go 😎👍
Right!
Nice video thanks a lot! Very helpful!
Is there a reason why u wont solder ur lopro plugs like its supposed to?
That was great
Is the wip challenge over?
hay is it a problem when you have a burned out cluch will it affect the car because i took apart the back of the car and i have my car on 2 of my rear spare tires and i throdling and i seems fine but when i have it on the growned i throdle it and it does not move can you give me some advice
Song name through out vid not the one at the end tho?
The link for the set-up and manuals doesn’t work, do you have another site you recommend?
Good video but gotta ask Ryan, how come you soldered the battery wires to the side of the bullets and not on the recessed bit on top where they are meant to go.??
Just reposted this but then deleted the repost as saw this from a year ago, still unanswered tho, like many question below. 😳
Rewatched it after two years, still helpfull and the quality holds more than up to modern standards. Love the video, keep up the cool stuff!
im also on a ryan binge :)
How hot do you set your iron to solder your wires
Ps if you solder the wires wrong on the motor it blows up the speedo an sometimes cooks the motor. It’s not fun😂
Nice, loved watching this
How often are you at the track ?
I usually only do this level of clean at the start of a season....
How long did it take you to completely rebuild this? btw it looks awesome :D
2 Nights of wrenching! Maybe about 4 hours total?
I bought the very same one you have! But I have not sprayed my parts yet!
My car is accualy clean. I broke the rear hubs and I have been waiting for the parts to come in the mail for 3 weeks so while waiting I cleaned every inch of it
Wut if...its a mud bogger...
TIP: 600 then 800 grit sandpaper and a glass surface can recondition diffrings that already had a ring in them. Use the outdrive without the nipple to move the rings in a figure 8 pattern until the groove is gone. This should really be done to new factory diff rings(not the aftermarket ones that are sold as "race ready" but the stock ones are often not as flat as they would be after this process. Also, a Dremel tool with a 1/8" collet has a lower chance of damaging the shock shafts or hung pins. Great video though. Subscribed
0:05 haha jokes on you, I drive in carpet 😂
thats boring
LET'S HAVE SOME FUUNNN :D
also I just put all the wire I'm not using together from esc and servo and just black heatshrink It all together.. look's way better then bunch of zippys lol but yah I love a nice clean looking rc
If your like me and race on carpet your cars always look clean and new lol.
Great video but whats with all the half shots? Or is it my phone
Ok just put it on the tv. Its my phone.
Did you not reinstall the cap? Also, never hurts to add more grease to the diff...
Why do you solder your batteri plugs like that? It makes me cringe so hard
its called rebound.
0%: rebound
25%: rebound
50%: rebound
75%: rebound
most used on onroad cars like arc xray tamiya.
idk if its important to do this on a offroad buggy or truggy.
it is, not quite as important or utilized but most definitely still used.
Best car cleaning video on the interwebs 👍
Awesome video! How much do you charge for a clean up job like that? lol. I noticed on your diff rebuild you didn't use much silicon at all, and none on the diff balls that I could see. Reasoning behind that? The diff build vids I have seen and manual say to silicon everything. Thanks again for all the great vids!
Great video.watched while working on my truck......sooooo good😀
This could be titled ‘oddly satisfying video’ too 😁 Great one. I always wonder why all my hobby grade RC shocks (and most other’s I’ve seen) don’t have a the bleed hole ik them, like these Race buggies have, if it is that important.
Great video!! As always. What did you do with your receiver wire? Thanks.
"Quick rattle-can job"... That paint job would take DAYS for me to complete! Masking and layering just seems to take forever to get right!
dude all the way apart and back together, holy fudge ball, ok I'm going to do it
Is it back together yet?
My own way: run till it works. When it doesn’t anymore, fix what’s broken and go on. With motorbikes it worked for the last million kilometers around the world!
Ryan, great video on how to rebuild an rc car. I'm new to the hobby but your video has given me a good foundation when it comes to cleaning and rebuilding an rc model.
I'm unsure if I've been doing diffs correctly now, I always put grease in the bearing holes then put the bearings in but you only put a small amount of grease on the diff rings, have I been doing it wrong ?
Hi Ryan I plugged my Team Orion HMX ESC backwards aaahhh... Is ther any way to fix this, it's expensive!! Doesn't the fuse that smoked protect it? HELP
Good alternatives for the crc silicone spray, B'LASTER Silicone spray. My autoparts store doesnt have the crc one but stocks the blaster one
As much fun as racing would be I just don’t think being married with kids would allow the time for all of the maintenance required. Guess I’ll just stick to bashing and replace parts that break. Good video though.
AS USUAL MY BROTHA RYAN AWESOME VIDZ AND I SEE THAT YOU ARE STILL ROCKING YOUR B6/D OG RACE WHIP AND NOT THE B6.1 ARE YOU JUST GOING TO STAY WITH IT UNTIL OUR HOMIEZ AT A.E. COME OUT WITH THE B7 LIKE MYSELF BECAUSE ME AND MY TEAM, 🏁 SPEED-MOB-RACING 🏁 SEEN REALLY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO KITS TO JUSTIFY BUYING THE B6.1 AT LEAST NOT FOR 4-5 LITTLE CHANGES OR ADD-ONS THE SAME WITH MY SC5M-R MODIFIED AND SPEAKING OF MY RACE WHIPZ WHERE CAN I SEND YOU A PICTURE OF THEM TO GET YOUR OPINION ON SOME THINGS THAT I'VE DONE AGAIN THANK YOU BROTHA AND GOD BLESS SINCERELY CLAY B. AND TEAM SPEED MOB RACING 🏁✝️🏁
What happened to the ESC cap ???
Hi There great video
I have a question
Not sure if you can help
I’m looking for F1 RC 1/6the scale chassis line the one you have
Any idea where can I find?
Just bought an old rc Barbie car. But seller said he lost the controller and that it doesn’t work anymore. Would like to get it repaired for medium speed
So here I was, relaxing, Binge watching Ryan Harris and now I'm Cleaning my car which I've put off for days because he dared me 😐
Brilliant work Ryan, I feel like I could watch your videos all day, THANKS❗
Very nice and informative video!
Thanks 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😬
Hi Ryan, the Setups & Manuals link is no longer active. Great video! I find cleaning therapeutic.
Hi would WD40 be ok for cleaning up your buggy or would it have a reaction with components
I cringed a bit when you said to use a tiny hex driver to push in the sensor connector for a solid fit. You really need to add one of these Spudgers to your tool kit: www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Spudger/IF145-002?o=4
(Great video though!)
Just got the b64 all cleaned up to find all the parts discontinued. Guess i got my first shelf queen 😅
Nice video. I'm curious why you soldered the bullet connectors like this? Aren't the channels in the connectors designed for the wire to sit in?
Cleaning just for the sake of cleaning is foolish. My cars are not spotless but what I call "functionally clean and serviceable"
So my 1/16 e revo is completely worn out. Should i take it apart completely and just get some new parts and rebuild it
Hey Ryan, I just won an original TLR 22 off an eBay auction and I plan on completely rebuilding it using your method in the video. And I was wondering if the 22 1.0 is still competitive today. Can I race it today in 2018?
If mine are on my shelf and they’re dusty I’ll pull them off and clean them lol my Friends tell me I’m to anal on keeping them clean but when your confined to a wheel chair what more can you do except keep them looking good
CRC Heavy Duty Silicone says on the bottle, “not for use on plastic”. Hahahahaha
Is there a particular servo tape you use? I’ve struggled to get one that seems to hold esc in place.
Nice video! What you think about bathing the plastics with WD40?
Amsoil makes a non metal silicone spray thats quite a bit better than the CRC brand!!!
High quality video mate!! Great job!! 😊
Thanks dude!
Shit, yes my XXX-CR is very dirty and a little old but, cleaning now!
shock fluid was completely clear, was it necessary to change it?
Good vid. See you at our local Fl. Track soon if finances quit getting in way.
I'm wit u there!
UDUMUDAFUKINMAN!👍🏻👍🏻
hey Ryan, about the shock top. mine doesnt have a screw to release air. how to do this with bladder?
What 4wd or 2wd buggy do you recommend for someone trying to get into rc racing?
Kuldar Kuusemäe Thanks for the help!
If you exchange a cable in the motor it would just turn in the oposite direction
I believe that Polishing the Suspension and Shock Shafts, probably did MORE for overall Performance than anything else!! 👍👍
However, I HAVE to say that Wiring Job.... Is Proper and BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks
Carmine 💥 ⛽
Lol mines never dirty I take a brush and soap water and clean all plastic parts
