Hello my friend
I'm Brazilian, and I'm starting my journey in the world of RC cars!!
I bought the normal SCY 16101 yesterday, and I ended up finding this video about the wheel arm... do you think it's a good idea to buy one too? To replace the plastic one that comes with it?
There are some videos here from Brazil, which talk about a problem caused in the differential, due to the replacement of this arm... could you say that it really happens because of that? Here in Brazil, this toy is very expensive, and I'm afraid of ruining it hahahahah
If you could answer me, I would be very grateful! Thanks for the informative video 😁
Hi. Thanks for the comment. Yes, I think it's well worth it to replace the plastic wheel hubs with the metal ones. Some sellers provide the upgraded metal wheel cups as part of the car and others offer only the plastic hubs. We've broken several plastic hubs that we replaced with metal ones and I've also purchased some of the cars with the upgraded metal hubs.
Never, have I seen any issue with them causing problems in the differential. The metal hubs provide much better protection against damage from crashes, collisions, or hard landings. The only issue we've had with the metal hubs is that sometimes after a hard crash, instead of breaking a piece off, the screw that attaches the metal hub to the control arm get stripped and may have to be replaced.
Below is a link to the front and rear metal wheel hubs on Ali Express, which is where I get my replacement parts. Good luck with it!

@@kablesrc @kablesrc I understand, so it wouldn't be so much of a problem to put the metal steering arms on the model, even though it's plastic... But what about the fear hahahahaha
Here in Brazil there are several UA-camrs in the same field, They recommend changing the differential along with the arm... and I'm afraid to change, as I can't find a tutorial video at all!
By the way, an acquaintance recommended that I change the steering link, that helps a lot for stability, and avoids breaking... do you agree with that?
Hello, I have such a version and I suffer from the remote control when I turn on the remote, the car moves alone and some times it stops and sometimes moves alone to know if the problem is from the car or the remote
We had an issue like that with one of our radio transmitters too. In that case it turned out to be a defective transmitter. It doesn't make much sense to me but I've heard that adjusting the dual rate knob on the transmitter may have an effect on it too. Also, make certain that you turn on the transmitter before you turn on the receiver on the car.
where did you get the replacement part?
I've been getting my Suchiyu RC car parts from Ali Express. Usually takes a week to two weeks to get them. Here is a link to the plastic replacement steering cups for the 16101 RC car.
