@@kaydenmosley538 There are many good cars nowadays. At the top we have DriftArt 2, GLD, Atomic DRZ V2 and XRX DPA. BMR-X is also good but it's 1/24 for using scale model as the body. The first choice is DriftArt but it could be difficult to find (try helidirect). DRZ V2 and GLD are more widely available. My personal favourite is the GLD but it takes a lot of expensive upgrades to work right. Hope this helps.

It will over time. There are 2 solutions, 1 is to upgrade the drivetrain with metal bit.ly/3w7XChB so the centre shaft pinion gears are metal and the spur gear as well so the motor gear won't eat it that fast. Or replace the motor pinion with a plastic one. I recommend upgrading the gears to metal because it will prolong the car's life as the pinions are known to wear out very quickly.

@BeaversHobby

The pinion gears get restock pretty often but I don't recommend the differentials. It's better to get the long CVD 25mm or 27mm and use Mini-Z AWD differentials instead. As for the spare parts, take a look in aliexpress too. The shops there restock faster than banggood.

Check where the problem is first. If you can pull the trigger, push it to go one way then come back to centre again and push to go the other way then the problem is at the motor wire. You can swap the polarity easily by using a tweezer to push the tap on the motor plug down and pull the wires out then you can swap them. If you pull the motor plug out you'll se one side with the lock and the other side with the exposed terminal. Do it on the side of the terminal. It doesn't have to be a tweezer, anything thing enough can push that terminal down and you can pull the wire out. If the problem is not at the motor wire, the wiring inside the transmitter is reversed. You will have to swap 2 of the 3 wires in the throttle potentiometer. Not sire which one so you will have to experiment which of the 2 wires give you reverse throttle.

The gyro is JST ZH 1.5 while the car is JST SH 1.25mm. If you want to keep the original plugs (probably in case you want to use it again without gyro) then you can get some of the ZH and SH parts to make 2 adapters, one is to convert ZH from gyro to SH on the ESC and the other one to convert SH on the servo to ZH to plug into gyro. Otherwise you will need to cut the servo wire and splice that into the gyro cable with 3 wire and use that salvaged head to put on the servo.

After you centre everything check if the servo can swing both sides equally, if not then re-center the trim then take the servo out and re-position the servo horn. If the swing to both sides are equal then it's the problem with the wheels, tyres and the suspension. See if you get the tyres contact the same on both sides. If not you might have to put M2 screws in the lower arms to adjust the ride height and contact. Also check out stage 1 and 2 for how to inspect and fix the car. kzitem.info/news/bejne/taSe2J2XjIWXhnY kzitem.info/news/bejne/snd9uoylcGJ-oIo

Once that's done do the same on the 2nd car. If you have the 3rd, repeat the process on a new one. Do this every time you want to run because this car binds to the transmitter at start up.

Personally I don't recommend the velcro because you will have to line it up every time you play and if you use it for touring or anywhere with dust, the velcro will get dirty very quickly. What is the car for? Is it for touring or drifting. If it's for touring then there's no better and more secure option than using clips. However you can make it easier by putting a small cable tie on the loop at the end so you can pull the clip out easier. If it's for drifting then the magnet mount system is also good.

They are the same car underneath. Choose whichever body you like because the new batch of K989 should come with the same upgraded transmitter already. Or choose the 284131 if you are not sure which transmitter you will get.

Do you hear any buzzing noise (or faint beep) from the ESC or not at all? If you don't hear any beep I'm afraid the ESC portion is fried and you can't fix that. Only to replace the whole box or upgrade the electronics. If you are comfortable with changing the electronics then it will open up more settings than getting a Mini-Z. But if you want the simplicity, pick up and play aspect. Mini-Z is still the best.

Is the diffuser removable to fit a minix body on it?
@BeaversHobby

Yes, it's removeable. However it is a part of the rear gearbox that props the gearbox in place. Originally (in K989, K969) this was a small plate so you can cut all the diffuser out to keep the car functioning properly.

Hi, the car just arrive, but there's so much dead zone in the throttle. Is it just my problem or has someone else noticed it. Thanks
@BeaversHobby
Жыл бұрын
Out of the box with the drivetrain is very sticky and you will have to pull the throttle a lot to start rolling. Also, if the DR knob is turned down then the throttle will take a lot to start responding. You can disassemble the car and run only with the motor outside to see if the deadzone is still there. If so then there might be a problem with your electronics.

@BeaversHobby

Make sure the battery is fully charged or have at least 6.8V. Check the TH DR (throttle dual rate) dial on the transmitter. It's the bottom dial. Turn it up or the other way and see if the throttle works. If not, check the motor connection if the wires are OK and not cut. If nothing works the car might be faulty so you'll have to contact the shop for a replacement or refund.

If the steering works but no throttle, make sure the battery is fully charged. Then check if the Throttle D/R knob is turned to the right direction. Hold the throttle and turn the knob to see if the motor runs, I think it should turn clockwise for max speed. The way to bind this receiver is turning the transmitter on, turn the car on then move the steering on the transmitter.

@@BeaversHobby Hello, I’ve charged the battery fully (I even checked on a lipo checker). I also tried turning the dual rate, that also does nothing. Lastly, if I turn on the car and the radio, it doesn’t bind automatically. I need to every time turn the steering wheel. Then it is bound, but still no throttle. I was thinking that the receiver maybe is broken.

I use the hi-voltage series. 350mAh bit.ly/3ov4DDz seems to be out of stock right now so here's 300mAh bit.ly/3ihR6g3 . None of GNB will have the plug you need for this car (JST RCY) but you can convert it to anything so there's no problem.

The motor size is called 1410 or 1625 depending on the brand. I usually recommend a budget motor: Surpass Rocket V2 for Mini-Z www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002433453641.html 3500KV or 5500KV is the most optimal. As for the ESC, can't go wrong with DasMikro V3 www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003527519554.html . Here's one of my build videos. kzitem.info/news/bejne/y2-mtWdropOimaQ Don't worry, K989 is the same chassis. Just different body.

Just bought one of these bad boys. Waiting for it to arrive. I want to upgrade the diffs, front to a one way and rear to a fixed. Mini z ones or copies. And I right in thinking I only need the longer front drive shafts and I can use standards in the rear? If so is the an up to date list of where I can get the parts in the UK. Is there a steering angle mod you can do? I like the look of the carbon chassis and upper deck are they a direct replacement?? Seen some carbon shock towers to? Thanks 🙏🏾
@BeaversHobby

The one way I got from Aliexpress is really good. However if you don't want to wait a very long time then get a genuine Mini-Z parts within the UK. And yes, you'll need long drive shafts for the front with one way. Both can be found in the UK from www.rcm8.net/ . At the back you don't have to get a solid axle, you can just lock (glue) the original axle and it'll work. You don't have to change the rear swing shafts either. The steering mod: follow this tutorial from 5:38 kzitem.info/news/bejne/23hp1omEcoqahqw . Caron chassis is not recommended. It'll mess up your ride height. However feel free to try. Carbon shock towers are good. It should be in aliexpress so I don't know if there's any UK stock.
