      The spare tyre cover was from AliExpress.
      Thanks. I hope you're enjoying yours; there's good potential in them, I reckon.

    Hello , great video , Goes fairly well on 3s lipo stock electronics . Just put 1800 fusion in mine and toyo open country tires on aswell . Im giving the stock servo 7.4volt now . Its holding up fairly well so far , i Had to tweak my steering link slightly to get full lock both directions.

      @areadierc2803 Did you switch radio over to something else or did you somehow keep it in tandem with the fusion? I'm guessing the lighting controller has gone as well.
      Very interesting about the servo!

    Nice video. It’s a great looking body. Not sure if the actual Landcruiser was available in the UK? Here in Aus it was better known as the Bundera. If you want to keep the receiver/esc maybe just swap for a lower turn brushed motor? Pretty sure it comes with a 35t 550 motor which should roughly be the equivalent to a 45t 540, so a 35t might be the go?

    • @rcpie
      @rcpie  4 месяца назад +2

      Thanks.
      I don't think the LC71 was available in the UK; I've certainly never seen one.
      I think the motor idea is the way to go. I'll see what I've got in the spares box.

      @southwestsellerss147 The 1060 is a reasonable budget ESC but it really doesn't have great throttle modulation. This is considerably better, trust me, I've got a LOT of 1060s.
      As for programming: no this can't be fully programmed, it doesn't accept a programming card but neither does the 1060.

    • @rcpie
      @rcpie  4 месяца назад +1

      @valleymade9563 The factory that makes trucks for RGT also supplies quite a lot of those models to FTX for sale in the UK and Europe. FTX test them, check them, get parts supply ready and then rebrand and relaunch them. It usually means that FTX are a little behind with their launch but the customer service is much better. It works well, you just need to know the connected names like FTX Tracker = RGT Rescuer.
