    i just bought this as my first rc car and i have broken it within a week, the gear box broke so i have just waited a week for it to arrive, i am probably going to buy all of the parts you found most broken so i can save on postage and wait times, although do you think i should upgrade the esc to a 4s compatible? the engine already gets so hot especially as i am in Australia

    • @TheChequeredFlagOriginal
      @TheChequeredFlagOriginal Місяць тому

      Yea there are some weak points for sure, but fundamentally it's a decent rig once you account for those parts... The esc is actually a quality unit, I think it's a rebranded hobbywing esc. There's no need to upgrade that at all. I wouldn't recommend a more powerful motor either, that will just destroy the gearbox imo. Definitely get some spares... My recommend spares would be; Suspension arms Diff outdrives Shock shafts Shock caps Oh, and tighten up the outdrive cups (that attatch to the prop shaft), and use thread lock on them. Hope this helps buddy

    Most older plastic lamp lenses are clear coated from factory, this is main fogging/yellowing you see, no amount of any polish will touch it. Old clear coat must be sanded off & lens brought back up with progressively finer grit wet n dry to a minimum of 2000 grit, then machine buff with a compound. All these so called headlight restoration kits will do nothing unless lens gets the above graft 1st.

I had quite a few minor issues, which were dealt with under warranty. However, the big issue was with the gearbox; occasionally there would be a loud BANG!! And it's a semi common problem, which could cost £4k to fix!! So I offloaded it and lost a few quid. I also changed jobs at the same time, and I only had the car as I was a taxi driver. Would I buy another one? No Would I recommend one? No Are they a lovely car? Yes Are they well priced? Yes Hope this helps buddy

    Take heatsink off, buy a Y wire. Then run ESC & upgraded heatsink & fan through Y wire. It works better because that stock heatsink is insufficient for decent length 3s running. Also buy a 150A ESC, with a (deans) jump adapter/plug. The 100A ESC is holding torque back, it acts as a restriction.

Where the socket is mounted in the volvo, it's also easy to catch the Bluetooth receiver and knock it out of place. I'm looking at replacing it with something that has a rechargeable battery, and maybe something with a screen too, so I can see what song is playing. As a short term solution, it's actually pretty good. Especially for the price

    Thank you Chris, glad you're enjoying your c30, this is based off a universal diffuser which is then cut and sanded to fit c30 facelifts as stated in your video, all bolts are to be replaced and will be looking into this for the best longevity, I also included the black plastic nuts and bolts which hold to C30's perfectly well as I don't like self tappers myself either for rust issues. The small screws in the kit I am looking to get stainless steel but just need to find the correct size so they're not too big on the diffuser. If anyone has any input or feedback or wants to purchase a kit send me a message bank transfer only but always happy to help otherwise, I also make custom c30 headlights for any c30 owners. All feedback helps me make myself and the product better 👌 thank you hopefully we can make a set for pre-facelift eventually.
