Kyosho Mini-Z Buggy - Brushless Conversion
For the next nine minutes while we are relaxing on this rock spinning around the sun, we're going to convert an Optima Mini-Z Buggy from a standard brushed system to the MB-010VE brushless system with 8500KV motor. Conversions like these are especially useful right now as supplies of new RTR Buggys are very constrained by manufacturing capacity.
Thank you to CerealKilla for the suggestion to leave the switch leads in place! Don't desolder them from the ESC, just use the switch from the new ESC. :)

I guess they were seeing the same failures happening to customers using their products legitimately, but with brushless you can break them in a matter of seconds.

    Hey there. Awesome video. Truly needed this. I've waited since COVID to get the brushless esc and finally just ordered one a few minutes ago. I have a question regarding the battery leads: what sort of wires do I need? My soldering skills are amateur at best and I did not realize that this was a necessary step, thinking this would be mostly a plug-n-play. Also, I was wondering if I need to upgrade the servo and gyro as the steering response and torque is lacking as my tires keep getting stuck to one side as they dont bounce back to straight when I turn the wheels left. And if so, could you recommend what would work with the same brushless upgrade you have in this video. Thank you regardless!

    if you don't have a plastic nut you can use the loop end of the metal red shock and cut it down with a blade. In fact using a box knife to cut down the plastic instead of sand paper will make it go faster and get a cleaner result.

      The speed will vary based on your gearing and tire choice, and I haven't run a speed checker on this so I can't say for sure.

    Great video! Thanks for showing us, I'm personally really curious if this same conversion can be done with the mini z buggy shocks cuz they're vastly cheaper and look basically identical in the upper shock body

    • @ZTK-RC
      @ZTK-RC 3 года назад

      From a quick measurement of shock shaft on the buggy (1.15mm diameter, 8.25mm travel) compared to the hobby plus (2mm diameter, 11.3mm travel), you would lose suspension travel and would need to find a smaller threaded ball nut to fit on the 1.25mm to hold the shock end. The Mini-Z buggy shock is 35mm long whereas the Hobby Plus shock is 40mm long. So it might not articulate as well as the hobby plus, but should technically fit the 4x4.
