      If you go to RC Groups and look under off road cars, there is a mod thread where a guy goes at it with 3D printed parts that greatly improves the buggy! Actually, the whole thing is shown in a series of videos that are on here too. They guy’s handle is Jim85IROC. Have a look.

      Haha, you're the first person to ask about that. You're very observant. All I'm doing is using them to keep the play out of the links. The links have just a tad bit of play in the ball joint and when you add them all up , it can create some steering wobble at high speed. The rubber bands simply help dampen that. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching brother.

    • @RCinginSC
      @RCinginSC  Před 4 lety

      If you mean the set screw for the pinion gear then the answer is ....I didn't get it out. I just replaced the original brushed motor with a new brushless motor and new pinion. The factory goes overboard on high strength loc-tite. It's usually impossible to remove them. Sorry I didn't have a better answer, but those are the facts. Thx fur watching. 😎👍

    • @kodak_jack
      @kodak_jack Před 4 lety

      RCing in SC If I may, the grub screw at least is in the open, there are other diff and drive gear screws that are tiny 2MM flat head screws that are a nightmare to deal with because they had thread lock on them. The only way to get them out is by heating them with the tip of a fine tipped soldering iron. You have to act quickly to get a wrench on the screw as soon as you can after heating it. In the case of replacing the plastic gears that came with the buggies, many of us used electrical side cutters to cut away the gear and then try to get the screw out with fine needle nose or vice grips - terrible to deal with!

      I made it unlisted but , again, do it at your own risk. I can't prove it , but I think that using the esc bec was the issue. Probably too much noise on the input voltage.. If I were to try it again, I would use an isolated 5v power source for the rx and a filtered power source for the FC. Good luck.

    What is the best motor to use the a 5200mah battery

    • @RCinginSC
      @RCinginSC  Před 3 lety

      It depends on the voltage of the battery. Is it 2s, 3s, 4s or 6s ? I'm using a 3100kv motor running 3s and it's more than enough power and speed. My recommendation would be..
      2s 3000kv - 4000kv
      3s 2500kv - 3500kv
      4s 2000kv - 3000kv
      6s 1000kv - 2000kv
      If you want more control then chose a motor at the low end of the recommended kv for that particular voltage.
      If you want more speed, then chose a motor at the higher end of the recommended kv for that particular voltage.
      Lastly, not all rc cars have the same final output ratio. So these recommendations apply only to the wltoys 12428. I hope that helps.

    • @RCinginSC
      @RCinginSC  Před 4 lety

      As far as video transmitters go, it honestly doesn't matter. If you have goggles or a fpv monitor that recieves 5.8ghz analog , , then you simply need a 5.8ghz transmitter . The camera you use is irrelevant. The video transmitter just needs an analog video input signal, and it doesn't care what camera it gets that signal from as long as it's analog , which the runcam split micro does output. I would recommend a video transmitter similar to this one.
      www.amazon.com/AKK-600mW-Mini-Transmitter-Race/dp/B01FRRV3HE

    This not a upgrade its a rebuild and redesigned. Its no longer a WLToys 12428 or looks the same. Its just a homemade RC. A upgrade is something that looks the same but made with better parts.

      @@VenomousJack I'm not sure why you're trying to argue with me. Either you like or you don't. You obviously don't. That's your right. I personally enjoy transforming rc vehicles, quads and boats into something uniquely my own. Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. Have a blessed day my friend.

    Hey, I just found your channel. Totally cool content. I love it. I'm into all things about scale cars, including RC, and your channel is really great. You're very skilled at this. We share the same passion. I’m doing makeovers on my channel. Mostly 1:64 stuff, but you might like it. Check it out. I'm subbing to your channel. Hit me back! Have fun with the cars and be safe, brother. Greetings from Switzerland.
