Thanks for the video and tools list. Definitely made building the truck a lot easier. I ended up using the D4L system from Orlando hunter and the ESC is way slower. Will probably have to upgrade electronics at some point.
Thank you and I'm glad you found it useful. I think eventually I will also upgrade the ESC to at least have brake functionality, and I guess I will move the ts0002 one to a crawler.
I haven't tried but I've seen others powering this truck with a furitek 8700kv and esc system. I've seen generic brushless options too which I might be tempted to try in the future. The rest of the drivetrain should be beefed up as well, such as the central cvd drive shaft and steel axle gears.
I have also recently received my kit and I'm starting the build. Did you use foams in your tyres or you are running without? I'm considering how best to glue the tyres to the standard plastic rims without making a complete mess. Put glue on one groove at a time? Put glue in the groove in the wheel or directly onto the tyre?
I did put the foam into the tires. Otherwise the tires are a bit too soft. I haven't glued mine yet. I'm not really sure the cleanest way to do this. I would put the tire partially on so the edge is in the middle of the rim. Apply some slower CA glue in the groove and then slide the edge of the tire into the groove. That's how I'd do it.
Have you decided what electronics to go with? While I think the n30 motor is a good fit for this, I also saw some enticing brushless options during my research (i.e: not just furitek). My current thinking is that if the truck behaves well enough in outdoor settings and that I'm driving it a lot, I might have to go brushless then.
I ran into this on ali (www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805408537783.html). Ignore the relatively expensive esc but the small brushless motor + gearbox seems like it can get the job done really well and inexpensively. I can then power it with a micro esc I already have.
What are you supposed to do with the fuel tank at the rear? It needs to be removeable to get the battery in and out but there is no method provided to hold it in position.
@@sammybaka How was the quality of yours? Mine seems to have a few quality issues where parts don't fit correctly. For example, I bought an extra body. One body fits the mounts okay but the other simply won't fit the mounts as the holes are drilled in slightly different positions. That is not easy to rectify!
The main thing I ran into was the misaligned cage and bottom chassis plate, as described in the video. The 4 mounting holes on the body were not spaced out forward/backward enough, so I did need to elongate the two holes in the back. Everything else was pretty good for me.
just got mine today, had some issue with some screw holes not in the correct aligment for the part with the motor mount(on the roll cage). I think i will use some epoxy and drill some new hole before anything else. I'm also waiting for some upgrade part and a brushless system, i hope i will able to make it all the way without breaking anything.
Yeah unfortunately Orlandoo has yet to fix that cage alignment issue with the bottom chassis plate in their current production. There are ways around it but we shouldn't have to deal with the bug. Your epoxy method sounds logical and it should make for a clean fix. What brushless setup are you going for? Are you also upgrading the driveline?
@@LL-wc4wn @whatswiththissassylostchil322 I don't mind having both! Orlandoo Hunter's ecosystem with all their kits are in the 1:32 to 1:35 scale though. They share many components as a result like axles, shocks, drive shafts, motor, etc and I think they have a nice niche carved out for themselves. If they do 1:24, I would love them bringing in a whole collection too, but there will definitely be more competition against kyosho, axial, fms, etc.
These are the stock tires for this truck. I'm not sure if there are larger tires available from Orlandoo Hunter for these 18mm rims. There will be more challenges in wheel arch clearances though for larger tires.
These alloy rims are the same dimension as the stock plastic rims. I actually have a second set of pin tires (for oh32x01) mounted on these plastic rims.
dude I don’t know why but my esc keeps burning out but I’m only 60% power and in room temperature, I’ve burnt about 5 or 6 I think and it just keeps burning I’m so sad because I really like trophy trucks 😢
Thanks for sharing the information. The most immediate thing I can think of is that there might be some binding with the drivetrain, causing the motor and esc to overwork. Do you feel the motor running hotter than it should?
Due to the small size, a few steps were tricky. If you've built 1:28 kits like GL Racing or Atomic, then this particular Orlandoo kit is about 2x or 3x harder.
Wonderful build!
Thank you!
What a great build. I really enjoyed the video. Liked and subbed
Thank you for your support!

Thank you for the video. Do not start to build mine yet but looking forward to make it ready to ride!
Good luck with the build! Make sure you have the right tools!
Can this fit or handle a more powerful / brushless motor?

@@sammybaka I think I'll try to do one groove at a time and let the glue dry before doing the opposite side.
Can't wait to finish mine.

@@sammybaka other than furitek what other brushless options are there this size?

Great breakdown! Really helped me with wanting to get one thanks!
Thank you! I hope you will have as much fun as I did with this little truck. I'm making a full review video right now 👍

The fuel tank thing clips into the chassis cage and it stays in place very securely. It's there to hold the battery in place and should be removable.

Now if orlandoo can make this into 1/24 scale.
A larger size would definitely be welcomed too. At the very least the build would be more manageable with m2 hardware.
And probably be a lot more affordable to build it as well and easy to make upgrades.
But not as cute and not as cool

Are you using the stock tires? And if so, would you get bigger ones with those aluminum rims?

These alloy rims are the same dimension as the stock plastic rims. I actually have a second set of pin tires (for oh32x01) mounted on these plastic rims.
Do you have a link to those rims by chance @sammybaka ?
Where can I buy this?
tiny4x4.com, amainhobbies.com, asiatees.com, etc. Search for OH32X02.

Are you using the orlandoo hunter ts0002 esc? What battery, servo, motor and receiver are you using?
@@sammybaka yes and I’m using 260mah lipo by Orlando hinter
I’m using the 2.2g servo
N30 3000 Rpm motor and dumborc receiver

upgrade to orlandoo brushless motor now!!
Which brushless motor and esc do you recommend?
@@sammybakathey just launched 4300kv motor with esc.
@@Ting-zq1yp This one? www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805463366120.html
@@sammybakayes!
@@Ting-zq1yp Have you used it? I'm very curious. There's a choice of 1:10 and 1:5 gear ratios too.
That cage to lower part imprecision makes me decided to not buying this 😅
That's totally fair. I'm glad the video was able to provide this type of information to help inform others!
Yess maybe one day still buying it and use the same method you do, but because of it's high price I am still looking other available option.
How hard is it to build that?
