The Return Of Project 50 MPH Grasshopper Part 3
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 месяца назад
Positive day today with Project Grasshopper. We went to a new location and this confirmed the modifications we have done to the chassis so far. The limiting factor is now the 3300KV motor. In this video we fit a new motor, do some repairs and we are confident of achieving the 50 MPH in part 4. We also run the Rlaarlo 917 on 3S. #Tamiya #Grasshopper #Rlaarlo917 #RCSpeedrun RC Parts for sale: www...
The Return Of Project 50 MPH Grasshopper Part 2
Просмотров 2233 месяца назад
Not such a successful day. Hornet rear wheels proved to be awful on the speedrun test. Tried some off of the FTX Vantage 2.0 but those faired little better. Best runs were on the stock Grasshopper rear wheels and with the mods I discussed in part 1. Only ran it on 55% power today. Best of 29 MPH but pretty stable. Moving to a new location for part 3. #Tamiya #Grasshopper #RCSpeedrun RC Parts fo...

Took her out for the first shakeown test today. Some positives and a few negatives. I think I am on the right track though and with what I learned today, I'm hoping for a big step up in perfomance the next time I test her.

Team Associated RB10 Anti Roll Bar Set
Hey, i was wandering if a DUMBORC X10FG receiver will accept light like a DUMBORC X6FG ?
Not sure what you mean by accept light?
@@rcfools i found that this receiver X6DCG from dumborc i can put directly light on it , thats why
@@vrnoobie3804 I have no idea what you are trying to say? What does directly light mean?
@@rcfools on the x6dcg receiver they have put 6 channels on the right and on the left they put light ports to connet lights
@@vrnoobie3804 Any receiver that has a spare channel or port can power lights. There are plenty of spare channels on the X10FG that you could use to power lights.
What about the front end.? Did you put it on?
What pinion and spur gear do you have
Spur is stock with a 20 tooth pinion. I do have some others to try. Still out of action due to the blown ESC I fitted.
nice, but i cant setup end points and triming... help
I'm away at the moment, but I'll get back to you on this. I don't remember how to do it off the top of my head, but I don't think it is too difficult. Pretty sure it was straightforward as I set them up differently for each model I added.
@@rcfools ok, I know, it's actually quite simple
Very smart!!
Thank you.
good
How should I configure custom mix to handle 4 steering wheels?
I hit 68mph on a OG Grasshopper 35 years ago with a 10 cell nicad pack and a Reedy modified motor. You may need to epoxy the diff solid to hold the power.
Awesome. I sell 3D printed diff lockers for the Grasshopper, Hornet and Lunchbox. But I didn't want to fit them as I was trying to stay as stock as possible.
@@rcfools awesome...Mine was total stock chassis and drivetrain other than locked diff and locked rear suspension.
How did you measure the speed , I doubt GPS speed metres were around 35 years back. Plus like I have a hornet to which I tried a 15 turn brushed motor with 2s lipo and it won't stay rubber side down , it kept rolling at the slightest bump in the road surface. It weighed so little that it just would end up on its roof. I then realised the Hornet was too light for this motor and battery combo. It would probably go.a lot better with say a 23 turn sport tuned Tamiya motor and even possibly a nickle metal battery as it weighs more than a lipo. My hornet went from looking great to looking trashed in like maybe 2weeks. I was really upset. I then had to buy another body shell and decal set.
@@joedipietro2559 a COP friend with a radar gun. 😁 It took a number of runs to get it on radar
Très bonne machine en Dirt avec un moteur plus puissant par contre ;)
got my stock hopper to 54.8 with brushless and 3cell mod only.. hobby park 5900kv and smallish 3 cell
That is awesome. Did you film it?
I did not. I need to start as I am doing some interesting things with the grasshopper with the help of a local long time RCr.
I'm poster this from his shop, he owns a CNC business and we are making some custom parts.
Wht do you think for rc drift ? Its good or enough ? Thx for the answer sir .
I don't own any drift cars and it's not something I have any experience in. All I can say is the response rate is excellent and so is the range. Feels a quality transmitter despite the low cost.
Yes... It has all necessary menus and tweaks you will need. It's simply superb.
Hi there, can i bind 2 transmitters on the same receiver at the same time?
I'm not sure? It is not something I have ever tried to do.
@@rcfools I have the X6FG and the X10F(G) receivers and i want to bind the X6FG on the DDF-350, without loosing the other transmitter binding
@@Arrudajmr You can. Just save it in your model memory on the DDF-350. I have several cars on mine.
@@rcfools Thanks, i mean it on my other transmitter, the X6PM-350, if i bind the DDF-350, i loose the X6PM-350 binding on the receiver.
@@Arrudajmr Understood. Yes you will. I did that on my Rlaarlo 917. Bound the stock receiver to the DDF-350 and once I had done so, the stock transmitter no longer worked.
I used to own "the Frog" as my first RC car. It was a challenge to assemble. As acdhild 1980s I wish it had been pre assembled. Looking back I think I will pass on re-buying the nostalgia and just prefer a Traxxas 4x4 truck for a better price. The Tamyia Frog was fun, but the maintenance is hard imo. Cool video.
Yeah the Tamiya's are fun for me but in a nostalgic way. Modern RTR RCs are amazing. My Corally Asuga is fast, agile and robust. I had the Subaru Brat as a kid which was almost exactly the same as The Frog bar wheels, rear shocks and I think the gearing/diff. Built that up around age 12. I had a second-hand Hornet first though.
@@rcfools Im 50 now and still love RC cars. but lookin back that Frog absorbed a massive amount of time to assemble. I kinbda wish ordered a RC assembled. Yet I love that car. Nostalgia n all that. Yet "Tamyia"......im gonna pass. All due respect. totally agree. o7
Nice bro
Thank you.
nice upgrades dude 👌 zorro is a fantastic short course truck 👍👍😎😎
awesome senton dude, wish i still had mine 😎👍👍subscribed 👍👍😀
It is a lot of fun for the money. I have a 3S BLX Vorteks also.
A guy I ustu work with was big into these .. the airplanes too
???
I love this motor
On 3S here: ruclips.net/video/3UToOuIbk6c/видео.html
Do they make an anti roll bar setup for the front?
No. Even the rear one is advertised as for the DR10
Great video! just got mine today about to take it out for a rip quite excited 😊
Excellent. They are awesome.
Hey up pal. How do I slow the steering down the remote tried every setting any help will be much appreciated
Hello mate, do you mean make the steering speed slower? I've not tried to do that on mine. But in the past on other transmitters I've found if you turn down the dual rate on the steering, this slows down the steering action but it also means that the steering will turn less in either direction.
@@rcfools yea pal that’s what I’m trying to find can’t seem to find it any where
Usually the exponential settings that numbs the steering down,ive not used this controller yet,just ordered one but ive used the exponential on my old controllers to smooth out or numb the steering
crap motor i threw mine away
I've had good experiences with these Surpass Hobby motors in the past. I'll update via here if this one is any good or not.
Good stuff RC!!
Thank you. I really like this transmitter.
Awesome vid subbed ya just did a unboxing vid on mine I love it!

I recently serviced the shocks on both my Rlaarlo's. The 917 had virtually no oil in any of the shocks. No leaks were detected. One of the shocks had no circlips on the piston. I sorted this out and filled them all up. The car performs so much better. The 787 had all shocks only half filled with oil. I topped them up and this made an improvement. Check your shocks people.
Whilst out on Sunday, I again broke another shock. This time a front shock. Same issue as before. The plastic bottom shock mount stripped its thread and separated from the shaft. I lost the spring before I noticed this. You can see this happen in this vid: ruclips.net/video/Id1f7EJrUR0/видео.html You can't buy the springs separately. I don't want to invest in another stock set. I'll update with a vid soon on what I do to fix this issue.
Hi mate i have exactly the same car with exactly the same upgrades you mentioned and i think it's brilliant for the money and very cheap on parts
They are an excellent choice for the money.
Hi mate can you give us any info on the way the car handles with the sway bar please, thanks in advance
I haven't had time to test it sadly. Soon as I do, I will post a vid though.
Can't Wait!
I'll bring you that soundcard also. See you Saturday.
@@rcfools k, thanks
Banging tune 😁
"1/10th scale" The platform is 1/10th scale but the body's definitely 1/8th. Same with every other SCT or SCT-based vehicle. But at least it's not as bad as, say, calling the Kraton 8S a 1/5th scale truggy when it's dwarfed by the MCD RR5.
True.
Yes to be legal to race in competitions it has to be 2s
I got 2 but i made one nitro
Excellent.
Thank you
You’re on to something 🤔😏 I just might do that too since I also have two lol
What I have noticed over the last few days is that the stock shocks tend to leak a little on compression. I changed the oil in my rear shocks to 400 weight and whilst doing so I noticed the shocks had very little oil in them from stock. What I drained out of the rears was just enough to top up the front shocks. I'm probably going to change the shocks to try and rectify this. Shame as the stock shocks feel good but they do leak. Avoid overtightening them as the bottom part of the shock with the o rings it is very easy to damage the thread.
Your laughter when you first got it out of the box perfectly sums up how fun this car is even when standing still.
Thank you. I really like this platform.
Esc??
did you get charged customs to UK? and did you get a dispatch email and tracking? thanks
I didn't get any customs charge. I got a tracking number, but it never worked. Took about a week for the car to arrive.
how is he running the stock reedy esc with dat big motor the kv rating is 3300 on the reedy esc
On 2S the stock ESC is good up to 3900KV. I've only run it a handful of times with the 7700KV motor but the stock ESC has remained cool so far. It isn't ideal and I would not try a 3S in it with this motor. I only use it for Drag runs so it is only running for a few seconds each pass.
I would like to see more of this and see how much it helped or didnt help with what kind of set up to car
Right on. Looking forward to your tests and their results. Subbed from Vegas 🎉🤘

Wow, and I thought mine was wild at 6500Kv.
