- In this video I got my hands on a nice TOYS R US toy grade RC car that I decided to make a project out of and see how it will handle with a hobby grade ESC. stay tuned for part 2 where I will have this thing moving.
I've started doing these types of conversions and even though I'm an absolute beginner I really enjoy it more than buying an expensive hobby car. I feel if I build it I can maintain it forever 🤣..as a beginner my tip is to find one platform you can work with and then customize it. For example i work only with the new brights because after much tinkering im comfortable in upgrading them.....these types of videos are so helpful...
Yep doing toy grade conversions are rather fun and it's how I got into the hobby also.
If you're into the building part of the rc hobby doing toy grade conversions can really test your skills. I bought the the orange New Bright McClearen that was being sold at the time this was being sold. I think I'm gonna come up with a chassis and gearbox system instead of using the little weak motor and gearbox that came with it.
I really like seeing old toy grade rc car's come back to life with new internal electronics. 😊
I just got a 1-6 scale dale Earnhardt RC from 2005 with no battery need to do a conversion on it but I'm a beginner so thanks for the video✌
Your welcome
Do you remember when we were kids Toys R Us used to sell monogram and cox hobby grade RC’s. ..
I love taking higher grade toy RC’s and converting them to hobby grade electronics..
I realize this video is a year old but I’m glad it came up in my feed, as I love your videos
Yes I remember I have actually been looking for them on ebay and thanks I'm glad you love the videos
So sincere behaviours, so sincere video! bravo! thanks !
Thank you
These are made by taiyo, and their transmission‘s are generally pretty tough. The motor is a 370-380 size
1/18 scale times 80mph is 4.44mph. They are converting 80mph speed by the scale of the vehicle.
Either way the box says 80 mph so that's what I am going to aim for
I recently picked up a 1:18 RC General Lee made by Malibu International. It’s toy grade; and it’s missing the remote. I paid $50. As long as the motor works, I’m gonna try to get another toy grade 27 MHz remote to work for it to keep it as stock as I can: if that doesn’t work, hobby grade electronics with stock motor it is
The diffs are a weak point, the best thing you could do is fill it with epoxy . Again I know this is a year old and I wish I would’ve seen it then cause I could’ve given you some advice on the conversion . I’ll definitely watch part 2 with your brushless conversion
Definitely do brushless
I bought a traxas slash 2wd still had the tags on it for $2.99 at a thriftstore I figured they couldn't bind the remote
Hey guy, the funniest thing I got something similar to this and paid 5 a Lamborghini Gallardo it had a 180 motor I upped it to a 390 motor a 18 dollar esc off Amazon brushed and up to 2s lipo battery, it sounds crazy without the sound effects box light buckets had to be drilled, but I don't like the hex on the wheels can't find adapter for it
Woww nice👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉great find
Thanks for showing the conversion. Stuff like this is fun. Too bad there isn’t any suspension and such a small motor. I have a large Ford GT I picked up I was going to do this to. Wonder if it’s the same chassis? If it is I think I would better off just using the body shell on a hobby grade chassis. Have you tried using Barbie vehicles? They have some nice detail but you’ll need a custom chassis. Have fun!
I have not tried barbie vehicles yet the fun part is trying to get hobby grade parts to work with the chassis
@@rccargarage Yes true! I find that the tinkering more fun than driving the cars around. Currently messing with an old Nikko Albar-Buggy dune buggy. It’s like the Nikko Big Thunder buggy but has lights. The steering servo is going hay wire and if I can’t sort it out I’ll pop in hobby grade electronics but no motor swap as there is a unique three gear transmission in it. Kinda cool as it has front swing arm suspension similar to old Kyosho/Tamiya stuff. Have fun!
@@rccargarage Oh yeah, as far as the Barbie stuff it’s more so the body on a hobby grade chassis, not converting an RC Barbie car. The motors I assume are fairly small in those. There is an interesting wired remote corvette I picked up that has motors on the front wheels. Yeah weird, it’s front wheel drive. As far as bodies I’ve used her Ferrari 308 on a home made on road chassis. I’ve save some stuff for future projects that I picked up cheap like a couple ‘57 Chevy convertibles and a VW Rabbit convertible. They have decent detail but the Chevy chassis is long and narrow so finding a chassis to fit it is gonna take some experimenting. Also found a 1/6 scale RC Supra I melted the electronics on that l’ll first try to use the existing chassis with the stock 540 motor or else after will stretch a brushless Slash chassis to fit under the Supra body. Probably will cut the roof and windows to make it a targa top and I have a 12” Paul Walker figure to fit in. Too many projects and too little time!!!!
My problem is coverting the tires to hobby grade as i ripped the tires from wearing them down on a 12 mph rc fastlane sandshark and im still trying to find viable solution to fix it
Yea same here I have also been looking to see what type of tires would fit on the wheels
80mph SCALE. So it’s a 1/8th scale, 10mph… they’re trying to be deceptive at that point.
Yea but I'm still gonna try to get it to 80 mph
@@rccargarage can’t wait to see that! Lol
Wow
I got one of those but I don't have to remote control
Gut out the electronics in them and add your own
2435 surpass small enough turn it brushless

Check out this video
What did you do to hook up the stock motor and esc?
ruclips.net/video/JTcp_mAVI5o/видео.html
Check out this. Video but I think I used a brushed esc to get the stock motor to run and I upgraded the servo
@@rccargarage also i watched all the hennessey videos because i wanted to install hobby-grade electronics into my childhood toy-grade buggy and your videos helped a lot
Good im glad my videos were able to help you in the right direction
Idk why but I think am only the a**hole who prefers to build up his toy grade rc to hobbygrade
Building up the toy grades are kinda fun
@@rccargarage I agree
I have a rastar Bugatti Chiron can it's only rear wheel drive can you help me make it 4x4 using a belt system and get it a better servo and esc I really like it's design and I don't want to have to buy another rc can you help me out please 🙏?
You could probably use separate motors to power front wheels to make it awd
@@rccargarage which part of the esc should I put the other motors
I'm a bit new to hobby grade rc so I'm not really sure how to do somethings
To be honest your going to be better off getting a awd chassis and putting the Bugatti body on that. Its going to be more work and more of a headache for you to try to make it awd
@@rccargarage ok thanks for the advice 👍
It's scale mph not axual mph
I know but im going to try to make it go 80 mph
This video could be edited down to about a 4th of the length because there's a lot of not needed unnecessary stuff
Muchacho no gastes tu dinero en modificar esa porqueria de juguete nunca lograra una gran velocidad por 2 sencillas razones la primera es que no tiene amortiguadores y la segunda es que la caja de transmision es pequeña y no se le puede instalar un motor 550 de alto rendimiento existen otros modelos semiprofesionales como los Nikko que si se les puede adaptar motor grande y sistemas modernos y logran velocidades respetables
Try to improve your voice.That umm,hmm are just boring,so people leave the video.Also,try to be a bit dinamic, like Kevin Talbot for example.
Really? Because I hate trying to find videos like this and having 100 Talbot videos suggested that's aren't close to what I searched besides being a rc type video
