What a great series. I drive 1/10 scale but I really enjoyed watching you build this model. I’ve always wanted a Mini-Z but I might pick up a k989 to try first after seeing your videos.

[jamiestevens]

This series was extremely helpful in preparing for an upcoming project. Appreciate it!

I’ve just bought one of these ( to race my 4 year old around the house ), ordered the carbon chassis and alloy upgrades . Now to work my way through your list and build a crazy little brushless weapon

[NeoIsrafil]

Hmm...when I've got the cnc up and running again maybe I'll try my hand at making a few upgrade parts for these things. They REALLY need better steering angle, so I'm thinking making a whole new steering setup that fits in with the stock diff case and such, or perhaps a full swap with diff casing as well may be in order... anything to get it to u-turn in just over twice its width like a real car can.

Really enjoy the videos - hope there is more too come.

That’s already a 1/10 scale touring price. But in all honesty, not bad. I like it. Through 3D printing, I’m creating a rwd pan car based on a 1/32 scale mini 4wd. It’s using a drone brushless outrunner motor, but the problem with it is that the drone esc lack braking and reverse function. I’m thinking, I should try that esc.

Is this even budget anymore🤣 good video

[sneakFV]

I got the same motor and mine just keep clogging it won’t even do a full rotation, never worked out the box🙁

[jarrodbouziga]

Love your vids. Keep up the awesome work. Just order me a Wltoys k989.

[jakomathstwo]

I've got this esc and 2 yisido brushless motor's a 5500kv and 10800kv, I use the car on the road outside.

Hello, I am going to upgrade to a brushless motor and ordered the wltoys extra pinion set. It looks like the pinions do not have a set screw and press on the motor. Have you had any problems with the pinion slipping or do they have a D shape like the spur gear? Also do you know what pitch the pinions are and would you recommend a mini z aluminum pinion set with set screw? Thanks and thank you for doing these videos.

Hi what tires do i need to use for the MDH100W MULTI OFFSET WHEEL SET ? ( on road touring application). kindly send me the link. THANK YOU

[ggweslie]

i need a video on that mono spring that you have set up. Thank you

[arnaudfrrc-]

Hello to you. I love your videos. I have been following you for several years now. Your work is of superb quality. Just like you, I love Wltoys 1/18. I have several. I will launch it in the design of a new model in Brushless motor. How many KV do you recommend for these small machines? Thank you very much for your answer. 🤟😎

[kennetcastillo]

do you prefer this brushless setup over your old hobbywing 1625 brushed setup?

what about the xc-10 esc setup and surpass 6000kv motor? how does it compare to hobbywing?

which of these setups would you recommend for small track carpet racing and some drifting with different tires?

[NaZa]

very good & usefull brushless upgrade video..hope you can make a video for full metal gear setup for this brushless touring K989..getting tired off changing stock gear and spur 😩

[Quintanater]

So ive been watching videos non stop and wondering which esc/motor combo i should go with for a drift car and then another for race. Seems like ive seen a thousand videos and cant decide. Ty for all your videos and help! Also using a nb4 if that helps :)

[mikesullivan]

What link for the other cheaper brushless setup, or what video is that in please

[markfitzurka]

I bought two different Rocket Esc / brushless combos one red one black couldn't get either to work. Then I got that hobby wing 18a ESC and hooked it to the rocket brushless motors I have tried the red and black motor neither seem to be working correctly. They seem to sputter or not get up to speed. I was wondering if you have any ideas what I am doing wrong? I am matching the #s from the ESC to the #'s on the motors. Would you recommend anything? Or even a whole new combo set? eBay and Amazon have package deals but I am afraid I am going to end up with the same issue. I have the hobylink transmitter and receiver w gyro and love them. I am Just looking for a little more pep on the long straightaway then I am getting from the 130 motors. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I am also trying to keep my battery plugs the same I ended up with lots of 7.4v 600mah I use them in several different models. Is the scorpion still what I should try or anything a little cheaper I can get the more bang for my buck. Appreciate you reading my comment and hopefully getting back to me. I have watched and used lots of your advice over the year and a half I have been messing around with the wltoys 1/28 platform thanks for all the great content I am watching you from southern California so don't normally use bangood but if you think they have what I need I will do it. Just want more on the top speed but don't want to lose the quick starts. Thanks again
Mark

Hello and thanks again for your immense passion and for the time you spend! I wanted to ask you why my engine gets hot after a few minutes of driving ... I state that I have not yet cleaned the plastics and not even added grease to the differentials as you indicated in the first video. Is this the only reason?
