1) Many folks have found the diffs to be low on oil. After you drive it, if you are unhappy with it - go and check those out.

I also recommend turning up the punch level not so much needed when you’re running 6s but on 4S makes the controls so much better. With that being said you may need to adjust the brakes as well

Thx! Don’t tighten that servo saver too tight! I think that may have contributed to the steering rack breaking on mine.

Great video. I noticed your ESC to motor wire were crossed up. Did you have to swap the A & C wires to get it to run in the right direction? I ask cause I had to.

Saw all your videos about this truck. Now that again some time has passed. Is the truck now durable in your opinion with the available RPM arms, alu steering rack, better turnbuckles and maybe the alu front and rear hub carriers + spindles. Or will it still break often with these upgrades? Thanks a lot.

Honestly, for bashing I recommend buying one of the "unbreakable" bodies. This might be more difficult with the war currently happening in Russia, but there are many folks within the US that resell them. Perhaps check out en.tmt-bodies.com/ Their bodies seem to be good. They also come from Turkey instead of Russia - so possibly easier to get right now.

Hi dude - when converting to run 2 x 3s batteries (EC5 connectors) other than soldering on the correct conversion what else do you need? Can you safely just plug one battery in (say a single 6s or 4s or even 3s) or do you need to cover off the spare connector or form some loop or other? Any info appreciated.
@RoadsideRC
Жыл бұрын
Hi! Yes, if you also want to run a single battery, the unused connector will need looped to close the circuit. Another connector with a short loop of wire soldered between the plugs works great.

@@RoadsideRC Hi Troy. Love the truck. Managed to solder a new EC5 connector. Thanks for the tips! Quick question when running 2x3S packs does matching them Mah or C rating matter? I don’t have two that are the same. Just 8 different makes and models with varying powers. Have you any advice? Thanks again and take care.
@oBsRVr666

@@SnoriRC I would refrain from using two packs that aren't of the same brand/model/cell type. If the capacity rating is different then one of the batteries will naturally discharge faster than the other and since the ESC does not monitor individual cell voltage the smaller pack might get over discharged (i.e. under 3V cell voltage) because it can't correctly monitor the cut off voltage point. I'd say it's the same for different C ratings since the capacity depends on the discharge current (higher discharge current usually yields lower capacity) and again they might discharge in an undesirable way as mentioned before.
