@@rayonnefitness6197 this definitely makes a difference, remapping may affect your warranty however if you plan on going the turbo route, they will remap it anyway

@@Anshyuman with the 31’s it’s abit more than what i had with the 195/80r15… gear 5 can pull up a normal hill but its still experimental and tests, we kept all the original stuff safe so if we conclude all the tests and are not happy then we can go back. I have vids of speedo at various speeds since the beginning. I want to test on more extreme hills(on tar), see if it can hold gear 5.

You see in your last video how the red jimny was struggling on the sand at time 1:22, this blue one doesn’t do that now. You just press accelerator and drop it like its hot.

@@febuilds for the gearing reasons, I am still running 215/75 tires, once I go ahead with lift and other modification, I plan to move to 31 inch tires and gearing reduction. We have tried only low range gearing reduction in one of the cars with 215 size tires.

@ if you put 31’s then low range and high range reduction will be good to give back the cars power/drivability without killing the clutch. But because you are no stranger to these gears, I don’t need to mention the draw backs. Just one very important tip: from wherever you buy the gears, ignore all the marketing hype. When they come, before installation, check the gears closely for consistency in the teeth and pitch, best is to take it to a gear specialist to look at, clean up and make adjustments where he see’s necessary. This way it will not be a very noisy run in period and you will do less heat cycles. Currently with the 31’s and the reductions the car is very drivable, even easier than when 195/75r15 was on, but i will test thoroughly before i announce exactly what we have done in this car because I don’t want anyone to rush and buy after seeing these videos and then face troubles.

@@catchawakeup6411 im not sure as to where they are selling them in South Africa but these were imported by FE Builds for a special experiment regarding low range gears

@@pumareal6423 these gears give more torque in high and low range, making a 31 tyre feel like you are driving the stock 195’s, we are reluctant to post as to where we sourced the gears as we are still testing and we wouldn’t like to recommend anything that we haven’t tried and tested thoroughly. Follow up vids will come in the next few weeks if we are happy and which brand we went with.

@febuilds Thanks a lot!

@@febuilds Interesting video, looking at putting in new lower low range on my JB74 that leaves high range as is. On stock tyres.

@@febuilds A couple of observations, it would be interesting to see the differences in the gear swaps if before and after changes could be shown together side by side to see the difference rather than seeing a time difference, also the difference the gear change makes on a steep descent in low 1st just using engine breaking without HDC, also one mod I think a lot of JB74 owners are looking for is a digital or analogue temperature gauge adding as the warning light only tells you when the engine has overheated, great videos by the way.

@ we have a mod up on how to see engine temp already(the cheap option) but a more comprehensive one is coming soon. Shows all engine data. Including pre warnings, errors etc. wrt crawler gears, its an experiment, we have footage of everything but chose not to put it up until we have tested properly. Going down a hill thats not slippery is easy work, no need for hill descent control. It just idles down. Going down a slippery hill, i would go down in a higher gear so you can easily correct if the back tyres slide to the side

@@Wanted1069 i have all those motors tested them all thoroughly. 2300kv fusion pro is the best one.(my opinion after hiking vultures peak with a rc with a 1800kv. Just doesn’t have the same punch, settings, etc when needed)

@@markcole6475 usually have gloves when I’m moving between videoing multiple projects

@@pumareal6423 I will do a video on this soon.

@@ThompsonAndSon Hi, we are not trying to sell anything to to push anyone who views this to buy what we have but rather to take people along the adventure and enjoy the hobby with us. If you want to buy what you see in these vids there are many options on the market and the choice is ultimately yours.

@@febuilds Something that some of my friends carry when driving offroad is a small sheet of very thin zinc, a small pair of tin snips, a roll of duct tape, some short self tapping screws and some long cable ties, this lot came in handy on one occasion when a radiator hose split and a repair was carried out with these items thus enabling the vehicle to continue.

Hi, thanks for your comment, I purchased it at rcsix33’s website. Simply google rcsix33 and it will come up.

Apologies, I understood by the end of the vid, that's extremely interesting to know, I get why you did it now. Great Video.

Thanks, thats actually a very good point. I guess I just didn’t think of it at the time. 🙈
