One suggestion I have is before or after explaining something, tell what it’s function is. Some people new to RC cars or electrical components might not know the purpose of having a servo. Ex: these are primarily used in steering, turning the wheels left and right. Great video though!
I just want to give you props for your teaching style. You seem to have the proper demeanor and temperament for teaching. It helps that I'm interested in the subject matter, but you make learning this stuff fun and easy. My wife asked me what I was doing yesterday, and I said, going to RC class. Haha. She just rolled her eyes and laughed. She says I'm an overgrown man child and I kind of agree.🤣 Thanks again.
Still love using the old skool brushed systems and the NiMh batteries… still got some NiCad batteries as well… and then there is the crystal transmitters and receivers 😂😂😂
Kids grew up, I still have the old rc buggies. Fewer chargers than battery packs. Fewer battery packs than cars. Thinking of frankensteining and maybe using an old drill battery&motor. Any links to vids for such a project? First timer.
Good video but in your series would like to see you do the larger scale gas stuff and that it isn't a break your bank if you don,t want it to be, and after people see that they can get up into the larger scales like 1/5th gas and really have a blast with them, Nitro is a lot of fun also to whether you are just a back yard basher or down at the track , but from a point of price and maintaining, racers or hobbyist no that nitro is a lot more finessing and tuning over gas powered, is a lot less messing around with the tuning glow plugs fuel etc; when it comes down to it you will be enjoying and having a lot more fun with gas powered over nitro powered, Don,t get me wrong nitro is a blast to build and race as well, Well thanks for my 2 cents worth lol and look forward to maybe seeing an episode of nitro vs gas, Thanks Bear.
If you mean it is 6000mah, then multiply 11.1 volts (3 cell) by 6 amps to get a wattage of 66.6, so make sure your charger can output that wattage. You would also want a charger that can charge at 6 amps. Some suggestions: the Dynamite Prophet Precept or the Kinexsis kx80
How are you doing today sir I have a question.What does it mean when you lose connection between the radio and the car? The lights just start blinking and you lose power for a second. You hit throttle power comes back lights stop blinking. ? It's a ready to run out the box tent scale beswit rc truck A rebrand of hosim X07.
Im trying to work out what the difference is in servos like 9g 17g and higher. I have to idea what tje difference is. Im running a wpl c24 and need a new servo. What do i need for better performance
Question, I want to put a castle sct in my traxxas rustler (crazy I know) and I want to get some aluminum axles that can handle the sct and are compatible with the rustler. Any suggestions?
RCDriver_Online but what about steel axles? My friend put a pair in his 2wd traxxas slash with a sidewinder 3 and they haven't broke. Would those work?
Do you have any videos or rewinding the RC dc motors? When I was younger, there was one guy that beat out everyone, he claimed that he custom wound his motors.
In the older days of RC, brushed motors had more tunability and could actually be taken apart both for custom tuning and service. People would experiment with different brushes, springs, bearings, and I wouldn't be surprised if that even included the copper windings. These days, many brushed motors have a sealed endbell and are made to be used just as is and then thrown away after wearing out.
I personally like the Rustler for general bashing. It's easy to work on and extremely easy to get parts for. Both OEM parts and aftermarket parts are readily available for the Rustler at just about any RC hobby dealer, both online and in person.
Generally no. The problem with soft case packs is that if you bash your vehicle hard, the cells of the soft packs are more vulnerable to getting damaged. If one of the cells was to ever get punctured, the battery can start on fire. I always try to get a hard case pack for all my basher vehicles.
Man your doing great things here! Thank you for thinking of us newbies!!! Your videos are really helping me out. Can you go over how to match your electronics i.e esc, motor, sensor or uncensored. Thanks
Have you experimented with turning *off* the voice-activation on your microphone? You record in a very quiet setting so I rather hear the bit of white noise over the cut-off. The cut-off is very disruptive to my ears. Alternatively, you could look into filtering the noise out completely. I haven't done sound recording in a long while to be honest, but I swear you could do that even with free software (I was using linux at the time).
I've been experimenting with a number of settings and filters for the Rode and Lapel mics I use. I'm going to keep working on it. Thank you for pointing out what you are experiencing.
Can you send me every electronic part for my ruckus 4x4 1/10 i was trying to drive it and the it caught fire and melted all the electronics it shocked everything I’m just happy that it didn’t melt the actual body which is really surprising I can send you pictures if you want
Just bought a castle mamba x with a 2400kv sensored motor for my slash 2wd. I've only upgraded the transmission case. I will be running 3s with a 54/19 gearing. Is there anything else I should upgrade? I suspect that the axles might snap
It's not a good idea to be turning the transmitter off while the car is still on. Make sure you turn off the car first (and disconnect the battery) and then turn the transmitter off last. The transmitter should always be the first thing you turn on and the last thing you turn off.
It would have been better to mention what the functions of these parts are instead of just giving the names and showing the inside. I still have no idea what a servo is.
Great video for us noobs who are just getting into the hobby. Much appreciated! Helps take the intimidating factors out.
So helpful 👍 thanks for sharing

Just love helping people learn about and enjoy this hobby successfully. Happy it helped!
Thank YOU So Much for this Video. I will continue to look forward forward for more videos!
Great series of videos for us RC newbies. Smashed mine in the first battery and didn't know what anything was called 🤣
Still love using the old skool brushed systems and the NiMh batteries… still got some NiCad batteries as well… and then there is the crystal transmitters and receivers 😂😂😂
another great video learned alot keep them coming
Thanks Jim.
Thank you
Thank you sir..really helps for noob like me👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Unless I missed it , you don'y say what the basic function of a " servo " or
a " speed control " are . Thought it might be good to know .
Exactly. I thought the first thing to cover is "what it is" and "what it does" before diving into the details of the parts

Do you have a suggestion on what charger to buy?
That depends: what battery type(s) will you be charging? Specs of the pack?
AllStealthBlazing 2s or 3s lipo 6k or so
What capacity (mah)?
If you mean it is 6000mah, then multiply 11.1 volts (3 cell) by 6 amps to get a wattage of 66.6, so make sure your charger can output that wattage. You would also want a charger that can charge at 6 amps. Some suggestions: the Dynamite Prophet Precept or the Kinexsis kx80
I have a redcat lightning whats a good brushless upgrade for a noob
What brushless motor and ESA should I get for the typhon mega??
Is this the first part of the video? because am really curious about it.
Amazing! The right stuff that I was looking for . Great work

A very good presentation . Looking forward to your other follow up videos . Thanks
Thanks for watching David Fisher Jr !
good job!
Thanks for watching Fundropto Gaming !

There is an online shopping for this TV electronics?
Love your videos
If you ever decide to create an RC curriculum, or better yet hold an RC boot camp, consider this my RSVP.
Question, I want to put a castle sct in my traxxas rustler (crazy I know) and I want to get some aluminum axles that can handle the sct and are compatible with the rustler. Any suggestions?
Aluminum driveshafts are typically used in stock motor applications. If you go with a wild Castle system, you chance shearing an aluminum driveshaft.
RCDriver_Online but what about steel axles? My friend put a pair in his 2wd traxxas slash with a sidewinder 3 and they haven't broke. Would those work?
how do I know how many amps my esc needs to be?

@@markoftheus Thank you for the reply
What is better the rustler or the river hobby octane?im a casual basher and live near parks and a track but not near a off road dirt track.
I personally like the Rustler for general bashing. It's easy to work on and extremely easy to get parts for. Both OEM parts and aftermarket parts are readily available for the Rustler at just about any RC hobby dealer, both online and in person.
Is a soft case pack LiPo battery safer then a hard case pack?
Generally no. The problem with soft case packs is that if you bash your vehicle hard, the cells of the soft packs are more vulnerable to getting damaged. If one of the cells was to ever get punctured, the battery can start on fire. I always try to get a hard case pack for all my basher vehicles.
thanks for that
Awesome video bro for newbies like myself. Also why is my servo making a twitching noise, and can't move steering?
Are you still into the RC hobby?
I loved the video. Thank you for making it. But specifically with the servo. You explained a lot about it. But you never said what it actually does.
damn. wish I could explain stuff that well
didn't i take you out at mount silver???
trainer gold I have my ways of coming back.
i thought you just said dot dot dot and then ran away twentey years ago!
Well, I still don't give up. Charizard won't leave my side, either.
i has dragonite.
What is the green truck in the background
It is an Axial SCX10 with Axial Jeep Mighty FC body.

Just bought a castle mamba x with a 2400kv sensored motor for my slash 2wd. I've only upgraded the transmission case. I will be running 3s with a 54/19 gearing. Is there anything else I should upgrade? I suspect that the axles might snap
Yes, you're correct, you may want to consider an axle upgrade. Traxxas, Pro-Line and MIP all offer steel axles for the truck.
RCDriver_Online thanks. Is there anything else that could break that should be replaced
my rc car runs full throtle when i turn off transmitter. help?
It's not a good idea to be turning the transmitter off while the car is still on. Make sure you turn off the car first (and disconnect the battery) and then turn the transmitter off last. The transmitter should always be the first thing you turn on and the last thing you turn off.

Idk why but when it comes to RC I can’t pay attention
Why do that?
Thanks for the video, great info. Quick question, Are you related to Jimmy Kimmel?
Can you give me rc cae
