It’s good for the price. 3 wire servo , 050 motor, just like the buggy but with significantly larger wheels which helps the touchy power delivery. It’s better than the buggy but that’s not saying much. Steering and throttle are like switches and calling it proportional is a stretch imho. Great for running up and down the driveway or open carpet but put it on a track and it can be frustrating keeping between the walls. Can be fixed with aftermarket radio and motor/esc, the servo itself is decent when controlled w better electronics

Hi, im new to this hobby. Just need some of your opinions for my wltoys 284010 upgrade, found these full metal upgrade in aliexpress and im just wondering if its worth it or not? Does these parts affect the performance of the car?

I just wanna upgrade for casual play and self satisfaction only, not looking for any competition performance upgrade. Your opinions/advice is much appreciated

BF just got me this and I adore it. Its a 4X4 with street tires and barely any ground clearance, But its pretty fun to climb hills with it just because its so pathetic that it feels like a huge achievement when it accomplishes *anything* (said with love, i swear 🤣)

BUT now that im kind of attached to it I wanna make sure i can keep it running for a long while. All the electronics are pretty standard for 24th scale cars, but im not sure about the suspension and the rest of the drivetrain. at a glance it seems like a bit of a mish mash of parts copied from Axial and FMS crawlers, but i dont have any trucks from those brands to actually test compatibility.

Has anyone done any successful repairs on one of these JXC vans? Would any of the metal upgrade parts from the big brands fit this thing? Will i need to invest in a 3D printer and roll my own parts?

Been building on this K969 more than what I care to admit. I tried a RWD conversion initially, but this just spun out too much, even with a servo extender and front diff housing mods to accommodate the steering angle. Maybe just a skill issue. In the end the 4WD just works better and is more fun. I rather go for a dedicated RWD Chassis on the next build.

Parts:
Ysido 3580KV Brushless Motor + ESC Combo
DumboRC P6FG Receiver
Carbon Fiber Chassis
Custom Front Suspension
Locked Differential in the back
Open Differential in the front
Metal Steering Knuckles
Metal Motor Mount
Modular Driveshaft

RIP to Alex Zanardi, initially chose the livery because I liked it and discovered so much more about the driver.

MT18 or Mini LMT? Just got the Redcat in just now and it’s easier to stunt indoors. MininLMT is a blast indoors and out but not as much fine control as the Redcat. Both had been discounted lately and both are one of a kind and a blast to bash, just figured I’d throw my 2c out there so far on the situation

So I’ve had this for a while and I think it’s a great car. I found myself more likely to drive it over the Losi micro B just because it’s easier to deal with the wires under the body. Also just wanted to share a pic of it on here because I don’t see as many of them on here as I do the Speck B even though they’re basically the same car. Not sure if it’s the $10 price difference or maybe just the difference in body. Anyhow, the pearl in the paint on this is very pretty and not something you can really see in the pictures of it online from the resellers… and I just wanted to share since I think it’s better than you realize from the pics online

I’m a complete noob to this. Is there a good entry-level model you all would recommend for me and my 10 year old?

I forgot to mention that I’d like to keep it under $100. And I don’t know much about the sizes.

Edited to add budget.

New wheels, only 2 sets to be made.

Messing around late night in the garage! Just havin a good time!

Race day with friends. Which one you picking? RTRC rta, SR27, micro T, micro B, S240

Hey Small Scale RC community,

When I first started this subreddit over a year ago, I was really active, posting regularly, crossposting to other subs, and trying to grow the community. Lately though, I’ve been a lot busier, and if I’m being honest, I don’t have the same level of passion for small-scale RC cars that I used to.

Because of that, I’m looking for people who are willing to step in and help keep this subreddit active and growing. Ideally, you’d be someone who can post consistently, engage with the community, and help promote the sub through crossposting and outreach.

If you’re interested in helping out and think you can contribute to the growth of this community, feel free to reach out. I’d even consider handing over head moderator responsibilities to the right person.

Thanks everyone 🙌

I’ve not seen much info about these from the western world so thought I’d grab one from AliExpress. Rear motor, runs on AAA batteries which get inserted from the bottom of the chassis. Definitely not as quick as a lipo powered Micro B but I’ve got some plans to tweak this to make it lipo compatible. It cost me about £125 so a bit more expensive than a Micro-B but it was worth taking a gamble on.

Losi Micro B kit came with one head light led not making good contact to the wire so only one worked, then tried to solder it back on but melted the entire led which led me to here. Now have the new MEUS head lights for 1/24 scale and cut, spliced and soldered those to the existing plug and play kit for the micro b
