Kyosho Mini-Z Buggy - Brushless Conversion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- 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. :)

Juicy tunes, juicy tech.
Thank you for watching, you are my favorite for mentioning the music :>

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 that comes with the new ESC. :)
Will this work on the older ASF buggies???
Nice 👍 came from Claire’s live stream
I remember you for sure. Thank you for stopping by! I hope to see you next time Claire does a stream. It's always a blast!
Hey you changed the name of your channel.
Really useful video for reference. IMO, it's a better deal to buy the brushless buggy from the getgo and a RWD. That way, you get one brushless, one brushed and one remote to control both.
Do you know if the older receiver will work for the newer brushless buggy?
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!
This was extremely helpful. Are there any comprehensive sources for the sorts of conversions that are possible for this particular model, and not just the motor? I came across so many accessories and am really wanting to switch up a few parts to aluminum and just understand what is possible. And for the motor for this conversion, I'm still so lost on the power of the brushless ones and which are best for this buggy. Thank you for this video!
Nice vid brother. Maybe above my pay scale to solder something so small 😆 good job though. Maybe I'll just buy a brushless chassis. Not sure, or I'll just give it a try. Who knows. Btw, where did you get that ramp if I may ask ? Been looking for one of those. Cool 😎
Thanks for coming thru! I think with the resale market as it is, you could probably resell your brushed chassis for good money. Here is the link to the ramp: www.walmart.com/ip/Fly-Wheels-Stunt-Ramp/299133363 It used to be on Amazon but now its gone.
@@ZTK-RC awesome thank you. I'm going to order these asap. I've waited to by the brushless mini buggy what seems like forever lol. I'll get it eventually.
can you do a ma030 evo brushless ecs swap into a mini z F1 brushed ecs please
man ive been debating about getting the conversion board or buying this chassis from this guy i race mini zs with. Comes with big bore shocks and aluminum diffs too
Ooo, I say bias towards getting another chassis XD the more the merrier right?
Does that kyosho plastic motor mount allow for other brand's motors? For example PN motors...
Hi! Is it worth the upgrade?
Where did you get that front bumper protector for your buggy? I like it!
The prolific maker Sleekun has an eBay Store. Here is a direct link to the bumper: www.ebay.com/itm/114730586226?hash=item1ab679d072:g:HZYAAOSw7qhgUji9
@@ZTK-RC Thank you so much! Which version did you get?
Hello good evening, I’m new to this hobby and bought a HexMod RC truck, it’s pretty fast but I want to make it extremely fast. Can you please help me find a good motor kit, and instructions to install please?
No mas videos?
I am glad you commented, I have actually changed my living situation significantly since I last posted and have been focusing on learning RC driving and building. I have a lot of ideas for content in the pipeline and have consulted with an attorney to incorporate and help me manage investments for new content on the channel. I will continue making Mini-Z content but also larger vehicles too.
Is it possible to only swap the motor ?
No because the brushless motor has three poles (required to build torque without brushes) and the brushled has only two (positive and negative)
Can you share the parts number
How fast does it go? And how much did it cost you? Been wanting to get the blue inferno but i know I want to convert it over to brushless and I know Kyosho parts are expensive and I’m also new to Kyosho lol
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. My guess is around 15 mph.
$40 for the ESC www.amainhobbies.com/kyosho-ma020-ra45-r-c-unit-set-kyomd211/p1001184
