Toy grades don't actually have an ESC in them, the PCB board has motor switches that power the 2 motors in a positive or negative direction. The forward-reverse motor get mosfets for more power from the battery tray\pack. Nice video!
I meant can motor above, where I accidentally said box motor, the can motor would face burnout on the extra voltage, not the box motor. Again, your friend, Jeff.
I'm getting this for My soon to be 10 year old Nephew. He will likely want more power, so I'm saving this video as I know I'm going to have to upgrade it for Him. Thanks!!
@@makestuffbetter19 lol right if u still have the car can u do a video on how to do it. Cuz just picture u get it n u put road tires and it perform better
Use thing rubber tape. These wheels don't come off like hobby grade cars, but a thin layer of rubber tape will give you more traction, control & speed. Home Depot & Lowes sells the rubber tape.
Not using the same remote. the original receiver and ESC is all in one so to upgrade you need to get all new, but it's totally worth it! And once you have the new Remote, you can buy more receivers to go in other cars and they all work off one remote!
I just used a flat piece of plastic that I had laying around and cut it down to a rod like shape. No ball joints. Just a screw in the end to attach it to the steering arm and a screw in the servo horn.
Thanks for writing this, as I’m also a radio control car fan!! What radio control cars I have are only toy 🧸 grade ones, but there’s a lot to be explored with them. 1️⃣ experiment, is for me to try 2️⃣-9-volt batteries in series, and change out the can motor for a box motor, which is found in miniature slot cars. I want a VERY FAST 💨 radio control car!! I know that a slot car set runs on approximately 22 volts, which the box motor in these cars can handle. The box motor in these radio control cars probably would face bearing burnout on 18 volts, with the combined 9-volt batteries in series. This may require a more hopped-up circuit board to avoid burning it out. I’d probably leave the steering servomotor the same, because I don’t need further improvement on the steering. My desire is to design a radio controlled car that can reach 45 MPH, or above. I’m probably going to face fried circuit boards, because they would also have to handle the extra voltage of the batteries. I won’t be surprised if I see my radio controlled car on fire, all because of my modifications. Could ya provide a few tips on upgrading the circuit boards? I think the gears ⚙️ will hold up to the extra speed, but that may also have me looking for a set of grippier tires. It would be absolutely 💯 AWESOME to do an Australian 🇦🇺 burnout, all from a hopped-up RC car!! The tires might actually smoke, but I’d want to be careful there!! Sorry 😞 about the long comment, but can ya let me know about the tips and tricks of hopping up RC cars. Your friend, Jeff.
Hi Jeff! As far as hopping up the circuitry I do have another video in the works for a Walmart car. But that’s a great suggestion! I could definitely do a video going over cheap electronics that I would trust to do the job!
It is 7.4v lipo battery used. I used a 850mah and it slightly over heated the battery (a little puffing) but with a 2200mah it seems to be totally fine.
Dude thats awesome! reply to this comment if you end up posting a video on it. I'd love to see it! SCX24s are awesome! I have a couple. check out some of my other videos to see what i've done to them.
These parts are very generic. The motor is the only part that you need to make sure is right. If the gt4r looks the same underneath it’ll most likely fit.
If it’s a smaller car I do the same thing with 1/24 scale rc Jada Toys Lightning McQueen 24th scale upgraded speed 2x faster ua-cam.com/video/Jd3POuWza6g/v-deo.html
gtr 4 is different. I just went and got this one I was gonna put the gtr body on it but the wheels don't look right and body doon't line up so im omw to hobby town to mob this one lol
Uhm hi will you still use the original receiver transmitter and can you send it to if you will and i always love your content you are the reason why i started this hobby thank you😊

@@makestuffbetter19 Thank You very much!
Would it be bad to disconnect drive shaft and let it be a rwd car?
Can u put road wheels with it
I haven’t tried. Good idea tho.

Are you using the same remote that came with the car? Or does the new receiver require its own brand remote?
Since he replaced the receiver, the original radio won't be compatible anymore.

@@makestuffbetter19You make me giggle when you say ESC, its more like an EMC =Electronic Motor Controller ha ha ha
@@FlyiDCG truth. lol
Love the build i have a question what kinda rod did you use for the steering servo
I just used a flat piece of plastic that I had laying around and cut it down to a rod like shape. No ball joints. Just a screw in the end to attach it to the steering arm and a screw in the servo horn.
Ok thanks for the reply and the info great build again bro 😁
I have one of these cars i was gifted without a remote, do you jave any recommendations on replacement controllers?
Can you tell me some higher voltage batteries for that stock kind of plug
The plug is called JST. Just check Amazon for some 3s batteries with JST Plugs.

Can you do a video of the drifter plus RC upgrade Please I do not know what to do to upgrade it.
I do have a video of this card drifting. or are you asking for something else?
Please tell me how it is possible to reset the car or what I should do, the same machine does not see the control panel
How many volts does the battery have and I have the same car and idk if it's safe to put a 7.4 volt in it
It is 7.4v lipo battery used. I used a 850mah and it slightly over heated the battery (a little puffing) but with a 2200mah it seems to be totally fine.
Do you have all the parts you used linked in the description?
Yup check them out!
I'm always trying to make cheap RC better... I got a Bently I'm working on. using some Axial sx24 stuff
Dude thats awesome! reply to this comment if you end up posting a video on it. I'd love to see it! SCX24s are awesome! I have a couple. check out some of my other videos to see what i've done to them.
Cut of extra weight, put rubber tape on plastic tires, go up a volt on batteries, add some heatsinks to mosfets, replace antenna on transmitter.
will these same parts go into thr gt4r camaro?

yup check the description of the video. I also just posted a new video with another car I did this to. ua-cam.com/video/Jd3POuWza6g/v-deo.html
So do you still uave all or nothing steering or is it more controlled
I have perpetual steering now with this setup
Ok thanks
I can’t turn left or right can anyone help ?
Do you have this model car?
Have you been to a chiropractor?
Wtf?!?
I had one of these but it was hans rx7 from tokyo drift
Han's RX-7? that's rad! I really want the supra from the first movie.
Cuál es su cargador original del carro
Tengo un cargador USB para las baterías de este coche. En el coche original llevaba incorporado un cable USB para cargar la batería.
What is the wheelbase
The wheelbase is about 225mm
Wow its loud??
Yes. It still has the plastic toy grade gears. Can’t imagine they will last long
Man I bought one today and it’s good at drifting but I charged it for 1 hour an only lasted 3 minutez
yea. mine on 2200 mah lasts a long time.
I would make it rwd
With more sterring angle it'd be fun in RWD
I’ve tried and unless you add caster in the front. It doesn’t work well
Lemme get this
Yea dude! The car is a bit rattley cuz nothing is built with very tight tolerances but works 100 time better than it did!
