Hi mate, hope you and the family are well, cool video and good tip about the steering links, good price as well. Me and my boy have been having great fun with our Beast max's 😂, I have got a few more mods to do to them one of them being a 3s conversion which will make them absolutely terrifying 😬😬👌, take care mate and keep up the good work 👍
Hi Scott glad to know that you and you re boy are well, thanks again for your kind words, allways a pleasure to ear from you. Glad that you like, see you soon my good friend and give a hug to your son from my part. Cheers
Hi, and thanks for the question, yes they will, the kit comes with 3 links that fit the stock q117, the other 4 you keep for spares, cause you can reuse that screw that has in the center of the link and change the tips when the ball head gets worn or the arm bends(it had happen to me before). Thanks for watching, and dont be a stranger!
Sehr interessant. Ich habe das gleiche Modell ebenso mit all den blauen Alu-Teilen. Aber mich würde es interessieren wie sich die Buggy-Reifen verhalten. Mein Max ist brutal auf den Achsen. Er kann nur mit dicken Reifen! Auch interessiert mich wie sie den Ventilator am Motor anschließen. Meiner fährt ohne, aber mit Kühlrippe.
Hello, i have a video showing this, go check it out: ruclips.net/video/XYW55dN_f_0/видео.htmlsi=PCu3aqEi70a1amw0 If you need more help feel free to ask i will be more then happy to help. Thanks for wathing and for the comment my friend, see you soon!
What weight shock oil do you run?? I just ordered the same blue Aluminum Alloy Suspension kit u are running I have some oil shocks on mine right now and they are too stiff I have some 800 weight shock oil but I think that might make them stiffer.
Hello Ricky and thanks for passing by, i use 400 cause i also think the 700 i had was too thick, i rhink it could be even less then 400 cps, so go for the 350 and you will ne good. If you have any more question feel free to ask, i like to help others.
@@Fast_Lane_RC you are very welcome!! I ordered some Team Losi Racing 50wt silicone oil off Amazon so hopefully that’ll be perfect!! Also what is a good cheap lipo charger that’ll charge 2s n 3s lipo’s??? And thank you very much because I’ll definitely need to ask some more questions!!
@@rickybaldwin6160 hello i use this one to charge mine: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EIqqWpH There are cheaper alternatives for this one charger, but i ordered from choice a cheaper one identical in appearance and it doesnt stop to charge when it should everytime and sometimes overcharges, so i recommend tou get from the seller i shared. Thanks for your support, has i told you feel free to ask your questions also help others so thank you.
@@rickybaldwin6160 i found this that my help you : 10wt = 100cst 15wt = 150cst 20wt = 200cst 25wt = 275cst 30wt = 350cst 35wt = 425cst 40wt = 500cst 45wt = 575cst 50wt = 650cst 55wt = 725cst 60wt = 800cst This is the weight conversion chart so 50wt might be too thick still, but test it before make any conclusions and order another one you might not need hehe.
@@Fast_Lane_RC what cst/weight did you say you use? Because this team Losi is 50wt 710cst so I’d say it’ll be too thick. Also I ordered one of those chargers not too long ago and the first light won’t show up anything and then other 2 lights work but won’t tell you if they are done changing.
👍nice video brother.. 😅Brother can test upgrade Ysido 2847 5600kv..60a brushless ESC..oil shock.. receiver..radio control & small pinion gear.. 😂because im upgrade Ysido 2847 5600kv brushless motor..80a brushless ESC..oil shock..small pinion gear..receiver & dumbbell radio control.. If brother after upgrade brother just know what is crazy fast & easy wheelie... Im after upgrade top speed now is 103kmh-135kmh.. Wish brother video channel 1days must be more many fan... Have a good days brother...
Hi nice video it looks like you changed almost everything 😂 is it still SG116? Just kidding... I found weird problem on mine maybe interesting for you as I can see you not only buying parts, but you really think about things how it works when upgrading. How to explain it right way...I have a problem to straighten up the trace of my Max. Im not able to balance steering direction throught ST trim knob on the remote control for longer period. When I do that and everything looks OK its again unbalanced after some steering with remote control steering wheel to left or right. E.g. when its directing straith with some ST. Trim knob balancing-> I rotate control wheel to e.g. right -> I leave RC wheel in neutral position (only throttle) then its again a little bit to the right. When I do the same to the left even after balancing with ST trim knob its steering by itself a little bit to the left. Any thoughts? I checked links and everything and it seems HW is OK. Its like the servo isnt able to get to exact the same neutral position after manual steering. Normaly its not a problem only at high speeds its dangerous to crash and I have to compensate it every time I try high speed. Sry for my english its not my native language. THX glad to talk to you. cheers.
Hello @@kultus26 i suspect that maybe you have one or two broken teeth in the servo gears. Do you have stock steering links and all that? Try to remove servo plug from esc and give a clean sometimes taking it off and install it helps. Its easy to remove amd open the servo, do that and check if theres is something broke, if it his, turn the gear 180° and install it again. Please give some follow up on how it went or if need help on doing it i will do a small video showing how to remove and open the servo to help you. Thanks for the comment i much appreciate that for sure. Feel free to ask whatever you need i will try my best to help you my friend. Thanks for watching and has i allways say... dont be a stranger 😀
Yes everything stock except shocks but they dont affect this behavior. I also realized that when I set (by hand) the front links and everything symetric to car axis, left and right tires are in shape "V" but I read that some manufacturers do that by stock and it can be "repaired" by new adjustable links e.g. yours but still this also shouldnt have impact on balance changes during driving. OK I will try it and give feedback but its strange as driving forward and backward acts differentialy. Driving backward is less balanced than drive forward.THX for now
Im back. So, to dismantle and get into the servo it takes more time, focusing and confidence for newby than I have for now but...my observations. 1. disconnected first control rod with balls joints on both sides from servo to links, set "0" on ST trim knob, turn on vehicle and short "vertical" servo rode (with spring) is exactly in the center and vertical. That is good. 2. when I connected control rod back the issue is back. 3. when I was slowly steering to the left or right I could hear some little squeaking noise from both sides and in my opinion its not so smooth than I expected, but this can be caused by almost whole plastic mechanism and natural deforming of the links and control rods during steering because of quite big forces and moments. Just my opinion. 4. The most important one. When I center the servo vertical control rod (with spring) and trying to steer with steering wheen not by hand ( in the air to eliminate influences from car weight and tires resistance), when I steer to the left and then stop the servo is returning to different position then when I steer to the right. So servo is not returning to zero position when the whole servo steering mechanism is connected. That is why the tires are always in different position after stopping steering to right or left. With only throttle car is steering itselve to the right or left depending what was last steering direction (left or right) and its impossible to compensate it by ST trim. 😮 Super weird. What know and idea what to try?
@@Fast_Lane_RC I was studying on YT a little bit and its all about recentering the servo to initial position. I checked it again, unconnected steering mechanism from servo and I can confirm that servo is recentering well when nothing is mechanicaly connected to it which is good news. Bad news is that there is something wrong with the rest of steering mechanism. So where to start? I checked all ball joints and screw connections and all looked OK. Any idea how to recheck it and what details to aim to more? It looks like there is more resistance in mechanism and servo cannot override it... How about you how smooth is yours? Is it balanced and driving at least 99% straight? 😂
@@kultus26 i am trying to figure something, maybe check that central piece where the steering links atach and see if it rubs against the front differential. My beast is turning not at its best aswell not so problematic jas yours cause mine keeps straight but i also ear some strange sound when the servo is connected and i cannot turn full lock. I will remove my servo and check and film it to share. But my stock Beast turns perfect, so i guess something must be worn out and i bet in the servo but i can be wrong. The bigger wheels dont help but in the begining it turned very well and with time it got bad so the servo i am hoping must be the culprit 😀 I will tell you my findings when i remove the servo and inspect further my friend, i will try to do it tomorrow. P.s: the servo without doing work doesnt fail only fails when we put force to it cause this makes the teeth slip if they are worn out.
