@@ottoman1361 I not home for a few days but I'm. sure there will dimensions of the track online somewhere. or wait till I'm back and I'll measure a section for you.

@@ottoman1361 Heya mate, if I understand your question correctly, I have another video on the track with a small review of the ldarc. There are also mjx videos if you want to check the channel out, it's a new channel so I'm at 20 videos with more on the way, hope you enjoy some of them and they help you in some way. if not maybe a suggestion of what you want to see. 👊

@@robertgoldsmith5949 Thanks again Rob 👊

@@jkeavyolson hiya bud, yes it came with those diffs, the black version doesn't have sealed diffs for some reason. Don't know why.

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce Yeah it’s kind of frustrating

@@jkeavyolson yeah, pointless really. I've heard the blue one is the one to get. Black one is limited edition I think but blue one has all the "better" internals. not 100% sure but 99.i don't own the black one so can't be 100% on that.

maybe put some pics on here and we can see if there's much of a difference?

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce for some reason I can’t put pictures in the comment section

@@pernormann4869 yeah same here, they defo lack quality. I'll see if I can source some from online and put a link up for ya.

@@jstenstrom Thanks for the comment bud, really glad you like what I'm doing. I have a good few videos planned, just need to find the time to get them done so defo more stuff in the pipeline. Check out the Ldarc small call mini vans, perfect for in the home and great fun, very good quality too.

@@iamgeek01 no bud, the oil is the lubricant so you don't need grease. 👊

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce Oh, alright. Thanks for the info, I'll use silicone oil for my upgraded diffs for my H16PL.

@@andrew4403 100%, if the jeep was bigger it would be an awesome beast. 👊

@@GeckoRC hi bud, yes it does, it's a small difference but defo noticeable, found mine corners better on a loose surface. sharpens up the steering. Also you know when you do it that it's done right.

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce Good point! Thanks

@@EdwardLockyer-v4h mine charges in about 4 hours and holds charge extremely well. I've had mine in a draw at 87% and not used for 3 months, was on 85% when I next used it. For the price, I brought another so have 2 now. 👊

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce thanks for the help. I bought it thanks to your review one of the only legit reviews I found

@@user-en1kd8xz1u Thanks man 👊

I havnt seen anyone do this yet so I though what the hell let's give it a shot lol, turned out awesome! I use an old body but you can buy a new body just to do this with 👊

@@jamesbrooker6508 Sometimes these are stuck fast, you may have to just grip the red brace with pliers or 5 hole grips. Lay some rubber over the brace first for extra grip and to not scratch it to much and maybe heat the stuck end with a hair dryer, just an idea. anything that will heat it without melting anything. Use the correct screwdriver and give it all you got, it will go, just take ya time. Good luck man, some people have brought new parts and just replaced it, so luck is what ya need bud.

Yea I'm drilling mine out tomorrow. High five we are the Sunday pros

@@evil_twit don’t suppose u have any tips to make it more stable either 😂

@@tarik916 in my opinion, keeps. it a bit more planted when outside on tarmac, but jumping.... there to small to notice anything.

Does make a difference on the monster truck though. On all models. if you slightly bend down the small metal tabs that stick out on the chassis, if gives you more ground clearance but don't bend them too far, just like half a mm.

@@tubermick no bud 7000 in front, and 3000 in rear as a good starting point.

on the video I showed the front diff taken apart, there was no point showing both, the video would be to long so I just said. 7000 in front and 3000 in rear as seen. Hope that makes it a bit clearer for you.

@@rccarsandmusic2641 What's funny my friend, if I have done something or said something wrong please let me know.

no probs, glad it helped you bud 👊 it's a good start untill you work out what oil you need.

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce any tips for making handling slightly better in a straight line lol

@@jamesbrooker6508 yeah change the tyres to road tyres, what it comes with are for dirt/small gravel. the steering servo is not the best, so could be something else to keep in mind. Have to remember, these are not high end, but they can be upgraded to handle pretty good. Shocks play a part too, stiffen up the rear more than the front to keep grip to the front, if the rear of the car drops when accelerating, the front of the car becomes lighter, with them being AWD the front wheels. Will tend to slip a bit more, if one front wheel slips. more than the other could. be making it turn slightly.... Loads to. think. of really, all depends on a. lot of. factors, like what surface your running on too. plenty of vids around explaining how to set up shock oil to. front and rear too, may be worth spending some time on CZcams, get it set up correctly with differential oils and tyres to suit the surface and go from there. Hope. this helps. ya, I'm by no means an expert on RCs but do know a bit, what I know I'll. say/advise to help as much as poss. I may be right I may be wrong but you have to start somewhere, when you sort it let us know so others can learn to bud 👊

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce I will let you know how I get on for sure thanks so much 👏

there really good man, I've used two of them now for over a year and 1 for over 2 years and taken away on over 20 long wkends and they have been perfect.

Can you charge a laptop with it while using the laptop?​@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce

Wltoys # 1😏🙂😎

normally I do bud, can't stand the crossheads. Hex screws are an upgrade which will be in another video of upgrades for these things. 👊

Iheya mate I hear ya, not. something I normally do but new to this scale and didn't even thing about it when making the vid, well. spotted and thanks for the advice 👊

hi mate, if your running it at them. speeds then any slight adjustment will matter. I don't know what model you have but have you tryed adjusting the rear wheels? if there out then could be where your problem is. You may have a bearing which is on the way out. could possibly be worth removing all your bearings and leaving them in oil over night. I would personally strip it down, re oil the diffs and soak the bearings in oil as a process of elimination. If none of that works then something may be over tightened. Lift the car and accelerate lightly, see if all the wheels stop at the same time, if one corner seems slightly quicker to stop then investigate that wheel. Set the front tow slightly inwards. Another thing you can try is, change your front diff oil to lighter oil and stiffen up the rear. suspension, this will keep your front wheels down a bit more BECAUSE if one wheel is lifting at the front will tend to drift one direction under acceleration so keeping it planted may help. just off the top of my head, and without being there, I hope this helps out. Be good to hear results when you get it solved. Good luck buddy. 🤞👊

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce Wow thanks for your input ✌️👍 I have the mini infraction, think it's 14301. Ok I have a lot more to test, I'll give you some feedback then. Have a nice day!

I have followed all of your suggestions but I couldn't solve the problem 😑

@@datimir7301 ah bud, without being there, I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry mate. I'd love to help ya out but I'm out of suggestions, for now but I will keep in mind and if I find any info I'll come back to you.

Change your gyro on the car to about 65 percent and change steering slightly left. Happen to me and that work

No I've not heard anything yet, would be good if they did, but not the end of the world. You can get the screws online for cheap .

I have hex hardware on mine they are terrible strip so easily

lol yeah I think it's something we all do, and say next time I'll remember to do it, next time comes and baaaam, mixed em up again lol I do this all the time now, makes things so much easier. Thanks for watching.

Hi mate, I got mine from banggood, but they only have the ldarc van and the Turbo Racing red or black camero type car. plenty of them around though, bit expensive on amazon. Good luck and glad you enjoyed the video. really is a good track to use and plenty on ebay for cheap.

yeah I've tryed that, I have new battery's on the way for the anki cars, so I can race the anki cars for more than a minute lol. I had 3 going round at once, they are pretty fast to be honest and takes some good driving to beat them.

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce haven't used our ankis in a while might have to see if batteries are low too, obvious replacements?

@@luvadealme yeah, long as you can solder. 150mah lipo with no connector. plenty on ebay. The original is only 100mah so the 150 fits and will give you more runtime. bit fiddly to do as you need the needle point on ya soldering iron and be careful not to touch anything else. If you can solder it's easy to do. 👊

There's not a massive difference that I've noticed. The ankidrive is a softer roll at, the overdrive is like a harder shiner vinyl surface. Out of the two I prefer the overdrive track. Not that there is anything wrong with the mat.

Heya mate, it's all a rough starting guide, so you can change the oils to what works best for your model. So lower in the rear and higher in the front. 3000 rear and 6000 front. it all affects the handling, so if it corners and wheels spin at the front then change the oil on your next maintenance the heavier at the front. it's all trial and error untill you get it how you like and part of the fun 👊

I don't know bud, I've never used it myself.

Nice, thanks for the comment bud. my car was brand new at the time of the video and loads of people saying they didn't know how or what to do in regards to oiling the diffs so I made the guide. Glad you like it and feel free to share around 👊

Also do you prefer the 1/76 or 1/64 scale?

Banggood, they dont have many, but cheaper and worth the wait.

@@luvadealme I'll be honest, my turbo racing hasn't turned up yet, still bloody waiting so can only comment on the v65, it's pretty good, tips over at high speeds but fast enough on this track in beginner mode anyway.

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce thanks, perhaps will get a pair of these and look out for your TR ones, which model TR did you go for?

I went for the c75 in red, 👊

Yeah gotta admit, I got a c75 coming in the post soon hopefully.

Loads on Ebay right now. You have to buy a whole set but it's worth it and the sets are still cheaper than a lot of other layouts available 👊

Heya mate, I use a Turnigy Accucel 6, never had a problem with it, once you have read the manual will be able to charge most battery's with it. I've had it a while now, you can still find them online and some hobby shops. 👊 highly recommend it.

Heya bud, I used a solvent cleaner, then rinsed with fairy liquid and warm water. completely cleans it out. Glad you liked to video man, nice to know I'm. helping some people out. 👊

I'm planing to do some videos of these on tarmac, I have another one one the way, the 303 which is the citroen. I'm planing to have a couple of guys with me so a drag could be on the horizon. Just waiting so I can use the 209/301 and 303 and get the best footage I can with all 3 at the same time.

Heya mate, glad you enjoyed it, I would have to say the 14209 is my fave but very close call. I have the 303 Citroën turning up soon, can't wait.

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce That would be a bit of a trip. I'm in the U.S.... LOL

wd40 is not ideal and should not really be used. In the diffs there are small rubber seals, wd40 will eat away at these leading them to fail. silicone based oils should be used for this as they are rubber friendly. A good thing to remember is if it spins use oil and if it rubs use grease. What a lot of RC guys do is make sure that all oils and grease they use are silicone based and therefore safe to use. You can get a moly grease as long as it's not petroleum based and is RC friendly or you can use a white lithium grease. Plenty of stuff out there, Google is your best friend on this but I hope I helped out a bit with my answer 👊

@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce So can I use silicone grease for the oil dampers and all the other gears and differential or lithium grease for everything? Or should I buy different greases of various types for each thing? I know I ask a lot of questions but I'm new to the RC hobby and I'm going to have this RC car and some others and I want to be sure what I'm going to do to my cars.

@@TheITP21 Hi buddy, it's fine. Silicone oil in the shocks and the sealed diffs. the oil in the diffs is thicker than the oil that goes in the shocks but it is still a silicone oil. There are loooooads of videos on what thickness oils to use in the shocks and the diffs so look up shock oil, and diff oils. White lithium grease can be used on the gears. Again if you look up RC grease there are plenty of videos on this too. You will learn more doing this than what I can explain here. good luck bud 👊

WD-40 isn't grease or oil. It is a water displacer (WD). It will remove grease.

@@noname-yb5jtcame to post this :)

Thankyou my friend. keep them wheels rolin lol

Thanks again bud, These really are in my opinion, the best bang for ya buck, as you say a few upgrades make them so worth the money. Great little cars.

Am tempted by the 16207, but not sure whether to get another 16208, or spend 20 quid more amd get a 14 series the 301/2/3...

@@luvadealme I can't comment on the 16s but sure any of them would be just as good. Down to what you prefer. I just like these and the Citroën would be awesome but running short of space. Have you seen the wltoys 1/28 scale stuff.... pretty awesome too 👊
