  • Merry Christmas, everyone! I thought I'd review this mammoth-sized RC car from Radioshack: a 1/6th scale 1969 Camaro.

    Hey, I have that car !!! I took the electronics out , added a esc & receiver. It worked fine but slow. Know I'm changing the esc , adding ànew esc & 52mili amp lipo battery! Rewire the lights. By the way, my windshield frame was broke as well. I super glued it & it's fine ! Also a new steering servo, I would like new tires & rims to fit it. Enjoy!!

      haha it sounds like they should've made the windshield frame stronger then lol! Do you have a video of your upgrades? I'd be very interested to see how it runs now

    Wow it is a lot peppier than i expected , i always thought it would be clunky and slow , that and i never knew the lights worked , i like that they stay on when you aren't driving , i bet i can fix the windshield frame i have some plastic solvent that temporarily liquefy the plastic on both halves so you can stick them back together to make one piece again its better than glue . you may be able to make a battery cover out of some sheet metal or heck even some foam board will allow you to drive it without dragging the battery . nice video , thinking i may need to find one of these

    • @PrinceofMacedonVlogs
      @PrinceofMacedonVlogs  Před 3 lety

      that would definitely be worth trying. I'd love to drive this thing without worrying about the battery dragging. I've got some other 1/6 rc cars but I don't think they're as well-made as this Radioshack one. I haven't filmed the other ones yet

    wicked! Merry Xmas~! You think that's huge? How about my 1/5th Humvee!!? I drove it on xmas eve in a big storm, bashing through mud and floods, and i didn't realize the hood had vent holes, and got the stock servo wet and it gave out. I was plannin on replacing with a huge servo i have anyways, but it did the job just fine. Can't have it not waterproof though so it's GG. I'll be uploading coming up in 2017, see you next year mafks!

    @phw340 Před 6 lety

    I used a 1/6 guy in mine but as you mentioned, no leg room. The dude I used had a broken leg so I took off the remaining leg then fashioned fake legs attached to the torso and put each “leg” into each pant leg and it supports his torso and he sits straight up.
    I noticed your headlight covers are stuck open? I haven’t operated mine in a bit and I forget what triggers them to open, perhaps turning on the transmitter? Sorry, I forgot.
    Awesome car! I have two so eventually I might see if the body will fit on a Traxxas Slash chassis or my Hobbyking Rattler so it can go a little faster but if I do that I might loose all the cool lights and stuff. See what happens. Fun to dream up ideas.

    • @PrinceofMacedonVlogs
      @PrinceofMacedonVlogs  Před 6 lety

      there might be a switch for it or something. It's also been awhile since I played with this. I also need to get a battery cover (which has proven a lot harder than I thought to find). I definitely want to do something with this in the future. I wish the guy would've packaged this better when he sent it to me

    • @phw340
      @phw340 Před 6 lety

      xprinceofmacedonx too bad about the shipping. Oh well, that why God created glue I guess. I forget what the battery door looks like but on a car I was missing the battery door I made something out of a dvd cover. Yeah. Pain when the battery pops out. I was going to chase a skunk out of my yard with an RC monster truck but the battery popped out and got stuck under the rear tire. Skunk got away which is fine with me!
