    I'm restoring my old rc car that I had for the last 15 years, and I'm upgrading its engine with a much larger one. Old one is 0.6hp while the new one is 3.5hp. I'm also changing the gearing for higher top speed.

      Can you stop with the 2005 cliche? It makes no sense. It's like you guys really don't understand the fact that we have a volume knob just as you do... you are also assuming that we have the volume all the way up at all times. I watched through the whole video without any bit of ear rape. Seems like the only one that noticed it, was the one not wearing headphones.

    This brought me back to my childhood... I had a Mugen MTX-3 and an HPI R40. For me, working on the aluminum and carbon and fine adjustments of everything gave me a deep appreciation for precision works and mechanical grip, racing, etc.
    I never got super great at racing these cars for more than fun, but still they inspired a great passion within myself for cars and all things precision. Now I work on MRI & CT systems, and built a pretty nice turbo Prelude which is on my channel.
    Sadly I sold my Mugen but still have the R40, and if I ever have a kid I will surely do a "rebuild" like this with them! Thanks for the upload!!

    Thunder Tiger Ts4n! Have one for 18 years! It was my first nitro 1/10. Great rc for the money back in the old days! Raced it in competition 2 times just for fun and won a second and a first place! So after years i bought the first traxxas revo 2.5R at the time an some how manage to swap the engine from the revo to the ts4n. Crazy fast fun until the gears eventually went to rc heaven.. After watching your video makes me want to bring this thing back to life! Thanks for sharing and were's part 2 and running video?? :D

      Bluebird servos are cheap as chips, much better upgrade. Much faster and higher torque. A good servo is not a useless upgrade. With all that extra power especially, it would make the car easier to control and obviously more responsive to inputs. Why be content with just functioning when it could function better?

    The Rx antenna looks like it's been chopped at some point? That element is a fraction of the length of a properly tuned 1/4 wave 2.4 ghz antenna. Good news is, if you didn't already know, you can strip off the shielding to an apropriate length and have a "new" antenna that will work properly. Very curious to hear how well radiolink works for cars though, I've never used it, but considering it since I started looking to make a budget RC car to bash around with on too-windy days
