Project Prerunner: Part 1 Overview of Feiyue Fighter-1 Truck + Making Plans for the Build

- A while back I purchased a Feiyue FY01 Fighter-1 1/12 scale RC short course truck I found on sale for around $65. I thought It would make a good platform for a custom build so I made the purchase. I decided to use a Pro-Line Racing 1972 Chevrolet Pickup for the body. In this video I take a look at the Feiyue Fighter-1 and share my thoughts on the vehicle, as well as discuss some plans for turning this vehicle into an epic and unique Prerunner.

Really looking forward to seeing how this build progresses, lots of Ideas floating around in my head of how I want the finished truck to look. Let me know what you think, and what modifications you want to see me do.
Make It RC more playlists please of full builds
Oh god, NO! The Styrofoam is my favorite part! I need the Styrofoam!!! :P
Thanks for sharing man, going to watch the second part right now!
I wanna do something like that to my WLTOYS 10428 (bascicly the same, just 1/10)
Your very clever for doing all of the mechanics
Why have not been recommended your videos more, stupid TH-cam. Awesome job, love the channel keep up the good work 👏
The front grille of the original body reminds me of a BMW Z4
Where the dookie is the final build ??
is that 1/10 crarwler body
This Chanel deserves like 100,000 subs
Update on this build?
FINALLY i bought the feiyue desert eagle 3 and im making it a rock crawler and i stretched it using extra rear end mounts and differential links to make it fit a 1/10 body i now have a video to use for advice thank you
Glad it helped!
Kade Hinojos do you have an update? Im trying to do the same. I want to stretch the rear to fit a 1/10 scale silverado truck. Any tips? Do i have to also stretch the front also or just the rear? What about wider? Do i have to do that or i can keep it 1/12 stock wide? Thanks in advance
Axial yeti jr 1/18 tires are 80mm fit a 1.55" wheel and can be stretched onto 1.7" wheels For a wider tread pattern and a lower profile look. I find with them stretched on the 1.7's they perform even better I found in my case. Mind you the extra weight of the wheels I got also helps.
Great info, thanks for the comment. 👍
That body looks weak
Scale vs performance huh?
uncle, if for the size of the hard body f350 double cabin how much is the uncle for the cabin itself and how much is it Scala 1:10??
Wait the body is 1/10 but the car is 1/12. Can I buy the shevy body from proline then?
I've been desperately in need of a good RC channel since ultimate RC shut down. My prayers have been answered.
People who have disliked this video what is wrong with you this is a great video
it's a knock off vetarra twin hammers
How about geardiff??
Becouse i have fy02
What are your thoughts on Traxxas trophy trucks?
Hello do u have a truck body for that car that is easy to install?
Did u ever finish tha 72 baja build would love to see it
I would use 1.9" wheels and tires, like the stock ones for an old tamiya f150. Also, I would keep the 3D printed bedsides separate from the lexan, just like beds and cabs are separate on fullsize pickup trucks, and they flex independently.
Quite a traxxas rip off
I built a mini slash from a mini erevo chassis. I bought 1/10 rally style wheels and tires for a couple bucks on Amazon. Fit and work great! Hope this helps. Love ur projects, keep it up man!
Ha i seen this on amazon a couple days ago and thought of using it for the same thing on an F150 i built a prerunner years ago and never finished. I used mini LST a-arms, rc4wd kings, and bud my own bulkhead, braketube cage blah blah.
Sick build tho man
Enjoyed your video, saw pt 2 first. I just bought my 1st RC truck, so I am a newbie to this hobby. I am hungry for "how to" and "DIY" info. I subscribed so I will be looking forward to more builds from you. Thxs
rc4wd 1.55 dirt grabber tires are 76mm tall brother, if you can fit a 1.55 wheel on this truck.
New to the channel , why don't you get a gas drift car. I never seen one
I'm so glad you're doing this, I've been eyeing up this model for months and I think I'm gonna follow your lead and try and 3d print the back end! I look forward to the next update!!!
I think with enough filler and sanding, a back end to the cab can be seamlessly added. Maybe not the most durable addition, but that's not something I'm concerned about on this build. Hoping to make some more progress on this build in the coming weeks!
Make It RC have you not thought about making a mould of the fenders with your 3d printer and then heating and stretching some polycarbonate over it, kind of like a ghetto vacuum forming.
I have thought about that, however my plan right now is to print the fenders ~2-3mm thick, and smooth the surface of the part with filler and resin. Then "bolt" the fenders on to the body. The design I'm currently playing around with for the front fenders and bedsides is pretty wild, not just a basic fender flare. Vacuum forming the design I'm currently working with would probably be a bit tricky and would add an extra step/time to the build that I'm not sure is worth it.
how would you mod this to make it waterproof?
You would need to replace all the stock electronics with water proof ones. Or maybe waterproof some electronics using an epoxy or similar waterproofing technique.
thats what I was thinking. thanks for the quick reply! and keep up the awesome uploads love the amount of detail you put into these builds
Lol I love the part where you just make your own tire... Jealous
If im not mistaken RC4WD has 1.5 wheel and rim.Also it comes in a black or white which I think would look fantastic.Great work with this channel.Could I ask what camera or phone your using?Thanks for your time✌
Thanks for the comment, I'll check out those RC4WD wheels. I'm using a Canon T3i DSLR for filming, It's a nice camera but I think it's around 8 years old now so It's not exactly the latest tech, and It doesn't have an auto focus while filming.
I guess it should be possible to reverse engineer the steering servo. I think what they did here is to integrate the servo function into the control board and have a dumb servo, where two wires go straight from H-bridge on the control board to the motor, and two are used to somehow read the potentiometer... on servos that can be disassembled, it should be possible to rewire them similarly.
Doesn't look like I'd be hard to figure out, but considering how cheap good mid-range RC electronics can be, to me at least It just makes sense to do a more thorough upgrade.
Nice to see some budget RC builds transformation to a rad design destination!!!
Love the channel and all the vids! Subbed !
Thank you!
Make It RC your very welcome!
Please finish this
is it just me or does the Feiyue look like the wltoys one....
I am kind of interested in using one of these Feiyue truck's to make a 1/10 pre-runner muscle car, like the Camaro from Furious 7; but I can't find the wheelbase and the axle width from hex to hex. Could you get me these measurements?
The wheelbase is approximately 250mm and the axle width with no wheels is around 210mm. Good luck with your project.
Make It RC Pretty much perfect dimensions, thanks.
I belive theres an rc car with the exact same internals and suspension and such but its a green buggy its called the 'wltoys 12428' i belive thats the name of it
Yeah, they sell this chassis under a lot of different names/body designs. I'm pretty sure all the components are interchangeable.
Make It RC yeah. I looked for some upgrades for the wltoys version and the name of the truck you was working on came up and a couple otheres. But they all fit into all tge trucks. And its a bit expensive but look up and upgrade kit for this truck. Replace the suspension peices with metal ones. It will be alot stronger and look waayyy better then the original plastic
look up 1.55 bead locks
Looks like a Slash 4x4
I’m probably late on this but rc4wd makes a 1.0 id wheel and tire line.
Wide veriety for tires . ebay . macari . amain hobby's. Theres alot to pick from just make a simple search in search bar and you'll see. Its alot
