HG-101 Cheap Brushless upgrade. Short Course RC Truck. Better than a Slash?

This HG101 1/10 Budget Short Course truck arrived a bit of a disappointment, I've now added a $35 Brushless set up and it's a bit of a monster! And I've not tried a 3s yet! This would certainly give a Slash a run for it's money now! (Not in build quality though!)

Buy the truck here:

This had a fair few problems out the box, and even after I had fixed it, it was still a disappointment. How about a Budget Brushless SCT vs Slash, or Vs Arrma Senton 3s BLX? I'll fix it and then put a 3s in it.

Thumbs up for the way your budget brushless conversion has transformed this truck : )

Looks Cool, and its brushless now. Very awesome brother

hey buddy!!, I got this same brushless system, you know that already, but with the higher 4800 KV motor. Im surprised yours is still only 43 KPH with the 3900 KV. IS the system getting hot? seems like the pinion is too small. What pinion size is that?

Nice video dude 😉 this is not a bad car

Thanks for sharing. Not a bad 1:10 rc car for the money as long as spares become available

[AdventureTimeRC]

[davesrcvideos]

And probably much more reliable too, great job

[thercbros]

This truck seems great after a brushless conversion ! Maybe too cheap plastic?

[TonysRcTechboom]

The Arrma Senton is the one am getting next year mate, this isn't a bad truck maybe softer surface it would be ok, Kirbs aren't good for any cars lol 😂 great upgrades and a fantastic video my friend 👍😊👍oh the link for the battery is not there 😁

Nice test. Well, I would break every Tamiya I have if I ran it into a curb.

[johnsalt]

Mr tg wat receiver did u use as dint mention it in vid lol

[supastihl]

Some softer springs would help maybe. Seemed stiff. Your not driving hard enough if you dont break something. 👍

Like#75 It’s like most rc you get something to tinker with this one is still worth a few mods to bring it up to grade not exactly traxxas territory but not a bad truck nonetheless!

[TreySlayPlay]

Is that a yes see actually any good it hasn't burn up I want to invest in a couple budget brushless setup but I'm worried I'm going to get done in by the smoking esc's of Doom I've had with the past cheap ones I have bought I think the one was a gool RC

[bradkalman]

Doesn't HG have replacement parts?

[olliebroughton]

will it fit a slash? are the motors the same size?
