Flying the DJI FPV around where i practice with the bigger cars (Im using motion controls!)
Just a quick run to test out the new DJI FPV drone. i love FPV but do not have the time to get as proficient as i would like to be with the sticks or keep on tuning my drone setups (i have rc cars for that) so this was a compelling package that i can also use with my existing hobbies
i am a big fan of the HD stuff and for ground based cars it makes a massive difference. the motion controls made this a fun experience but it does have some draw backs (up and down and the turning is a little too non linear) there is lag but low enough to compensate for and is fairly consistent
there was a bit of wind and this is only in normal mode till i am more confident the jump to sports mode is dramatic

Outdoor rally with the upgraded GT-24 (electronics/tyres)
Просмотров 3743 года назад
The other day i upgraded the servo, receiver and ESC on the GT24. i also used some spare MINI-z buggy tyres (Wide s on the rear and narrows at the front) which allows the back end to slide out more without as much traction roll you can see this in the video as i take the turns a lot better and swap from reverse to forward much quicker due to the much better ESC. input latency feels about he sam...
GT24 - Rally practice: Going faster = better performance?

Had an opportunity to record some raw rally practice. started off slow and started to speed up as this thing handles better the faster you go but go too fast and it tips. finding that sweat spot is what makes this fun to drive lens looks a bit blury, hard to tell if the focus is right on the dji osmo pocket without a phone

Does the KO EX Next work with the standard Mini-Z models (non-EVO) ?
This might be a reach but I have this same exact bike and I am having pairing issues. Have you experienced pairing issues with this?
I'm looking for one. Please tell me where you got one.
just ordered my first one yesterday, comes in next week. in your now 2 years minimum of experience what's the first 3 things you'd recommend i upgrade? i got the gt24b by the way to track and bash with, been strictly crawling for a couple years on scx24's and had to get something fast for the fleet, planning on getting the rally one soon as well though, probably gonna mostly drift it
Zed..lol
Ive turned my GT24TR into a Subaru rally car by just changing out body, body posts and wheels/tires. Now, this is interesting.....with the truggy tires, on 2s lipo I had the typical slipper clutch issues. Using the Subaru rally wheels and tires, there is NO slipper clutch issue at all! I guess a better traction issue.??
Hi! may i know where did u connect the cam/vtx power source to in the buggy?
Can you give a link to get those
This helped me a lot. I installed the aluminium steering rack with the bearings nice and loose but still my servo wouldn't even move the wheels. I had no idea you had to do the ball ends like that to make it movable. This is my first complete RC build.
I can’t figure out how you having all the problems with that buggy , you must be jumping off cliffs or running full speed into brick 🧱 walls , I got one & don’t have none of these issues 😂😂😂
What are the little plugs called? On the gyros
Great collection, I've been looking for that Lancia Delta body forever, where did you find it?
Thank you
Hi there i have trouble with my height the front is higher then the rear not sure how to adjust the right height to atomic recomendation. Care to help me how to set it right? Thanks
What scale are those? 1/28 or 1/24?
Hey buddy great video ! Question what receiver are you using for your build ? thanks
What pinion gear ?
Very glad to hear there was no point to this video because I wasn't in the mood to be serious about anything but was still able to learn something nonetheless.
Can any one throw a few links out to make sure I get the right parts. Seems like you have to order from 2 or 3 different sites to get what you need
This many has to do with what people have on hand, what transmitter they use and other factors. once you have done electronics once its fairly easy. putting specific links dosent help the above and diffrent shipping rates make shipping to one person prohiitive while others its fine at a minimum you need: * Motor (start with around 3500Kv or 6000Kv Max, any more is wasted) * a 2 channel or more reciver that matches your transmitter * A micro servo that fits (the AGRF ones i use fit nearly everything but are high end and pricey. nothing faster on the market) * an ESC (ensotech s-waves used to be my fo to but i would recommend a furitek drift ESC these days for most people, they have a store for direct or you can buy from a vendor) * Gyro (optional but recomended, dont just buy what i did its a very specific setup to my electronics to reduce wiring as i use sbus to cut down on cabling) * Connectors for battery/ESC matching. you may get lucky and they just match but i rewire everything to custom connectors with polarity * a small 2s lipo happy to answer specific qustions
I have the same carisma rc how difficult do you think it would be to convert to the carisma buggy version?
Apart from the body and wheels you need all the suspension since the A-Arms from the Buggy are longer and you need the Buggy shocks as well. That should be everything
Where to buy KMB9906 Aluminum Suspension Kit (blue) for Mini-Z buggy?
Would you say this is a worthwhile upgrade for any mini z with a kt531p transmitter?
it is a good upgrade, i found it very hard to go back with the old KT feeling like molasses. really comes down to how much you can get it for and what that means to you. if the price is putting you off you should be fine as is and perhaps think about it in the future when you need to up your game or race others but for just fooling around at home you should be fine sticking with what you have
Nice vid liked and subscribed thx bro 👍
so I am new to this hobby. these mods. what do they do?
slipper clutch mods help with the slipper clutch getting too loose over time and able to ut more power down from a dead stop. the slipper clutch limits how much power can go into the drive train but i prefer to limit this on my transmitter. the locked diffs make drifting more predictable as an open diff will suddenly shift on you during the corner as the grip transitions from one wheel to the other, this cut over point is unpredictable and causes snapping of the car in a turn. the locked diff also helps with power delivery on uneven surfaces and dusty surfaces where an open diff wiill work against you adding diff fluid to turn it into a limited slip diff achieves something similar to the above but is a combination of the locked diff and the open diff, more even power delivery on bad surfaces and in the corners but greater ability to take a turn which is what the open diffs are normally good for. it is common to have a locked rear diff and a LSD on the front in these setups. the default shocks on this car are very bouncy as they are just springs (which capture and release nearly all the energy during a bounce), they don't have any dampening (which absorbs the energy and transforms it to heat via friction). this car out of the box is excessively springy and the shocks really needs some dampening so that it does not continue to bounce around after a jump and make the car unstable but instead gets the wheels on the ground as fast as possible and keeps them there the electronic upgrades (motor esc and radio) are due to wanting to use my own transmitter which i use for my mini-z cars but the brushless/sensored upgrade gives me a lot better low throttle control which this car out of the box has little of allowing things like trail braking and just b
@@BlitzWorks dude thank you for the detailed response! I am a total n00b so any information is super helpful!
Great video! Watched the whole! Though I got a question..should I go for any Yokomo or other more expensive gyro if I don't wanna upgrade in the near future ..? Or the AFRC is as good?
Where did you get your blue suspension control arms?
ebay, 3rd party manufacturer. having a quick look around it appears they are no longer available and i just recently sold off the blue ones
Growing to hate this car lol can't get it to drift at all. Trying all kinds of settings and it's just awful.
I ended up with similar problems, they dont give good setup recommendations out of the box and this is why i preferred the GLD, there are some setup guides out there and i would recommend reading them, this thing wont drift until you have thee setup just right
Can you confirm if both suspension arms on the buggy is interchangeable on the i20 rally???
the kyosho and the i20 have no compatible parts as they are from different manufacturers. the GT-24 does have a buggy version and those buggy arms are compatible and can be interchanged
@@BlitzWorks Ahh thanks, I assume the buggy was the GT24B Buggy. Thanks mate!
Great videos! Any chance you can post links to parts you’ve swapped? Your previous video stated that you were quite pleased with stock car. What happened that made you want to mod? What grease have you been running in the diffs?
Just random grease i had laying around, likely a 1k or 2k weight (atomic diff oil) i wanted to get rid of the charisma remote and replace it with the NB4 from flysky which necessitates replacing the ESC and servo as well. as for swapped parts its mainly just the tyres with kyosho buggy tyres, some slight mods to the suspension to add some shock paste and the electronics are an ensotech ESC and AGRF servo like all my other builds but choice of electronics does not matter that much.
does the drz v2 ball diff fits drz v1?
same problem happended to me dude😮💨legit same
Do you know what battery's will fit with the smallest configuration. 90mm I think. I've already bought 2 different batterys there both too big. The smallest is the eflight 280mah. I'm struggling to find anything smaller. The nanotechnology your using looks even bigger that the eflight I've got. Thanks in advance
I have heard the 90mm can be a bit tight and i have heard that the orlandoo batteries may be smaller. the batteries i am using are nanotech 300mah with the eflight (single charge and power) connector
Bonjour, Est-il possible de mettre une carrosserie de gt24 sur le Mini-Z? J'ai l'impression que les empattements sont identiques. Merci Olivier
unfortunately not, the wheel bases are slightly different with the GT24 being slightly longer. in addition there is no mounting hardware to mount the GT24 body on the mini-z buggy and would require something custom. it may be diffrent for the buggy version of the GT24 (it would only need to be a couple of mm shorter) the mini-z is much much wider than the GT24 and the wheels will foul on the body r/miniz on reddit does have some examples of custom made and 3d printed bodies being put on the buggy body including a beatle
Really loved this video. You sound like me and its nice to see someone who loves this little buggy as much as I do. I have two of them, got them recently from RC-Mart. Brushed, and upgraded with the X-speed motor, which is faster but not as nuts as brushless. I use them inside my apartment with my son and really love them. BUT.. They are complex, and fairly delicate in many ways. So, I am now re-thinking them and can see why they might not be as popular as they could be. I just ordered a Losi Mini-B to see how I like that. Its much different, a little bigger, but super simple and more robust by default. If I can run that with good results inside I may sell both the mini z buggies. I have the same issues with both sets of the big boar shocks (leak, and the bottom caps keep coming off). I was thinking of using some thread locker to help keep them closed? I have inconsistent results between the two cars that I have. One is SO smooth and perfect. My god. I love it. The other, is a little rougher in sound and feeling. I think its the diffs. While inspecting I noticed that the front center shaft pinion has a strange design. The actual gear just slides on the end of the pinion.. so.. it actually moves (almost) freely. vs.. the upgrade part by PN racing has the grub screw to lock it down. lol. This maybe causing me some issues, I am not sure. After jumping some small ramps I made in my living room, I cracked that bottom reinforce plate that comes with the brushless car (I installed them on mine after the fact). So, I took it off and did a layer of carbon cloth over it soaked with medium CA and then cut it out / re-drilled the holes. NOW, its stiff and nice, lol. I should make them and sell them! The steering servo is sensitive to impact (which makes sense after all). However, the tierod often comes loose and needs to be manually and electronically re-set often. This is a pain and one area that creates fear when running fast around the house. On the other hand, I am glad this happens as it likely prevents the gears from getting the same impact. So, that maybe a blessing, regardless its annoying tho. I also get hard left "whip around" on hard braking sometimes. Hunting down that issue is not easy. (again, a vote to the more simple RWD Losi Mini B). But, honestly I love the mini z because its adorable. It reminds me of the classic buggy and is amazing in many other ways. Mine seem to track nice and straight, tho I have the same slop you showed. I was thinking of getting the brushless version and have one that I can use both inside and out. I use it with the NB4 radio, so I have lots of fine tuning options. Tho, again thinking I maybe better off with the Losi Mini B. I also bought the AWD Mini-z (normal non buggy) cars, and they are incredible with nothing bad to say. The buggy is just far more complex, delicate and although I truly am impressed with the performance and I have had moments of thinking " this is my fav. rc of all time" it comes at a cost of time and money (big money) and frankly I worry that the more I get invested with it, the less and less parts will be avail in the future. That worries me. I HATE that most things are out of stock all the time. This does not inspire confidence. :-( But, all that aside I love them. lol.
you managed to sum up my entire experience in a single post. after playing with the 'atomic' series of AWD race/drfit cars i have looked into designing a belt driven buggy as there are a lot of quality/control issues you pointed out that could be designed away. does not help that some mods dont help at all and other mods are extremely sensitive to things like overtightining the wheel nuts i have lost too much time to ensuring each bolt is just tight enough but not too tight
@@BlitzWorks Thanks so much, I know that was a long post, lol. I figured out (yesterday) that all my gear issues were due to needing shims in the stock diffs. All this time, I had thought that it was the slipper clutch engaging (it also can make a click noise) but, it was the rear diff pinion chewing away. three shims later the problem is totally solved (and new parts on the way to start over fresh). I got that Mini-B Losi and it was nice, but no way for inside. I returned it. I did a full send into the Mini-z buggy and ordered the brushless. I love it so much. Now that I have the gears all figured out, I think I will be set with it. There is just nothing else like it. I would LOVE an "atomic like" carbon frame. I know they used to make one I see, but no more. So, if you make one.. let me know!
@@travisharrisphotography if I may bother you - since you got a good hands on with both (and I also appreciate all the details you shared) - did you also consider the Losi Mini-T? It is a bit smaller and could possibly work for indoors.
What esc are you running? I have that same motor @3200kv and looking to run it in a VX01 @2S
I was running the tekin R5 pro with the ROC 412 but it turns out i misread the specs and one i was in 'harder' terrin and pulling more current i ended up blowing the ESC and so upgraded to a RSX Pro from tekin which is better rated for the load, you will need the fan and i would recommend a fan on the motor as well. i ended up cutting a hole in the front of the lancia body where the vents would be and putting mesh over it to further increase air flow as i had the ESC throttle the output due to thermal limits the SCT motor is great due to the extra poles so super smooth and lots of torque making modulating the motor speed less dependent on grip as well as helping to break grip when needed. i am running the 3100Kv or 4600Kv motor and that is too much speed (which was intentional) but gives me options. you can either limit the output throttle to compensate or use an exponential on the throttle which gives the best of both worlds (great slow speed control on dirt and some quick high speed bursts on tarmac) the 3200Kv is likley a very good choice nearly all the kit is tekin, including a high speed servo from them programed with the endpoints set up manually in the servo rather than the controller
Hi-if you read this-do you have in mind selling those aluminum arms? I've been looking for them for weeks now.. In fact, I'm looking for all golden option parts as well. And those big wheels too! Please reply if you'd like to sell those! Thank you
Sure, i am not using them as i fond the rotational mass made them problematic to run in practice. happy to sell the rims tyres and a set of the plastic PN-racing moster rims as well just hit up the business contact email on ruclips.net/user/BlitzWorksabout
@@BlitzWorks hi. I couldn't find your email, instead I sent you a Twitter DM yesterday. Please check. Thanks!
Hi, getting this car. quick question. did you use threadlocker for all the screws? or any kind of glue ? thanks
Honestly at this point i cant remember, for these slower speed drift cars with less powerful motors it is not really needed but can fix up some minor tolerance issues worth doing if you feel up to it just make sure to get the weakest stuff you can get
I got it thanks
Hey how do you switch from MHS to ASF? Thanks nice vid
Would it be possible to let me know the suspension arm set part number for the Mini-Z? Thank you.
Am looking to use the mini z buggy on dry dirt track. Might be abit dusty but little to no stones. Should there be something to note for?
carisma GT, they do a 1:24th car thats a bit more flexible and about the same on track as the buggy (with the mini-z normal coming ahead on indoor tracks) but outdoors they cant be beat. i have a review of the rally cars but they have trucks and buggies that are the same platform with wider wheel spacing i have also done a motor swap as they are super quick and due to this are much better outdoors than in
Fake why do u trick people huh just calling yourself blitz works
Its the glasses isnt it, the life of an alter ego is difficult when you forget if they are supposed to be on or off
@@BlitzWorks well change your name Cuz u tricking people for views
Cuz I got tricked between u and real blitz
Thanks for the video! I have ordered this module too, but yeah I will need to update my nb4 plus some 3rd party receivers. I'm a bit anxious about potentially bricking any of these things.
Dont worry about the bricking too much, while off stream i disconnected the NB-4 multiple times mid update with no issue it is a fairly robust process. the only real issue is remembering which receivers have to be put into which modes and what pins need to be shorted to do so much easier to update everything all in one go. if you are like me though thats about 20 different receivers (actual number). there isa video or two online but i still needed themanual to pull it of for the Fgr4's
Hope you are doing better Blitz! Great to see your video again.
Hey Blitz, So there's no need to use grease for the differential?
How does the glass fiber chassis compare to plastic? Is it much much more. Durable?
Much stiffer and addresses some issues around the steering setup. when you remove the bottom plate you see how flexible it really is also retains the screws much much better and you feel it in the resistance whe screwing them in (they will start to heat up as well)
@@BlitzWorks thx for the reply! One random question... What reel of wire are you using? The black wire that has the separate wires inside.. I need to get some extra wires for my DIY journey.. Thx!
@@ptpt4583 whatever i have on hand. i have a bunch of silicon wrapped wire i use for motors now that's a slightly thicker gauge. if its your first time soldering then copper wire may be a good option as its slightly easier to solder to otherwise it should not matter much (or copper for a questionable tiny increase in power) use some flux to clean the pads as i found they are all slightly dirty on thee old cars (even unboxed ones, the stock is old) and use a scotchpad to clean the surface rust off first. trust me on this one as its easy to make mistakes when soldering this board an the cleanlness helps prevent bridging if yo dont use too much solder or heat
In my build I literally busted out the digital caliper to make sure I had the right screws in the build. Funny thing... the dimensions they give are wrong on a lot of em. Theyre close, but theyre not quite right. Lol. The set screws I kept in but I reamed it so it moves cleanly. Ive been trying hard to adjust the handling, she moves smoothly all around but I cant get her to not sometimes flip around uncontrollably, despite having a heavy grease in the diff making it limited slip. Im currently working on that, and trying to figure out getting all the slop out. Ive got a 3d printer, laser, AND CNC so there's plenty of tools to fabricate parts, but im coming up short so far.
i noticed that about the screws as well but didnt have too much of an issue. just took my rally car out for a spin and it gets tail happy in the same way (uncontrollable backend slide)and found its about throttle control going into the corner, enter too hard and you wont be able to recover from that spin. try going in a little slower and then applying the power and see if that helps at all
If you want a REALLY nice set of screwdrivers and wrenches perfect for mini z size cars theres a purple and black set on amazon thats really nice for like 15-20 bucks, comes with tweezers, magnetic screw mat, basically every small Allen, every screwdriver tip, every small nut driver size, all the goodies. I use it more than anything else in my kit. Theres also a grey power screwdriver i LOVE on there that makes assembly/disassembly SUPER fast but safe because it doesn't have enough torque to strip screwholes.
I actually own about a dozen kits but i just purchased an ifixit kit about an hour ago, wish i had seen this comment so i could have checked it out, only issue is if you saw this on amazon US then i likely cant get it here as the amazon site in the AU is not worth the price of admision
good info...
Id love to see some RC Rally racing. I've never seen it before. There's plenty of normal dirt vehicles and street vehicles ive seen, but nothing like a rally car.
