I removed the main board and replaced it with a receiver for my transmitter (FS-GT3B) and a single 10A brushed ESC for both motors, took the steering mechanism apart and changed it to a servo inside the casing using the original servo arm, and changed the battery to a 2S Li-Ion, and this thing has REALLY changed!! I now have fully proportional steering and throttle, as well as the extra power from the Li-Ion, and my model goes absolutely anywhere now!! $5 for the receiver, another $5 for the ESC, the servo is one I had lying around (a larger 16g one with metal gearing), and the battery I made out of 2 old Nokia batteries!! I also added 4 SMD type white LEDs on the top fake light cluster to make it look even better!!
alishanmao sorry, I don't do videos... camera-shy hehehe I did take some photos of the mod though... i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2476_zpsurkkcqom.jpg i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2475_zps5cwtotua.jpg i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2478_zpsvs2wugrs.jpg i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/HororoKawaii/DSCN2481_zpstkwg6sta.jpg
so i just bought 2 of these, and there was a promotion for 3-7 day priority shipping from china for FREE!!!!! I paid 54$ and change for 2. i got a red and green. I plan on doing hobby grade electronics, and 4 wheel steering. Cheers and thanks for the vid!
I have bough one of those HB 666 Rock Crawlers and in green color as well. These things are comparable if not better to the well known Maisto Rock Crawler Extreme. The must do's with this Crawler are getting yourself some super glue and glue the tires to the rims, so you get all the power and no skid from the rubber tire, also a bigger capacity battery wich is easy to find and cheap. I can say that it can take a 7.4v LiPo that you can find easily as well for drones, but the speed gets so ridiculously high that it's almost a drawback rather than a benefit. 4.8v batteries give it adecuate speed/power ratio. I'm having a lot of fun as well with this RC, it's a recommended purchase from me.
+Habieru84 Well said, Glue the tires is an option to get full power out, but that will over load motors :) I have one in Red Color, I might get that out later :D to some more fun.
+RC Hunter I can not confirm for sure, since i did not take apart any of the motor enclosures. But i am almost certain that they are very low geared 180 size motors, the bottom side of the motor that can be seen underneat is flat, and that is common to all 180 size motors as far as i know.
Habieru84 i am thinking of replacing the stock battery pack with 7.4v 2000 mAh battery pack you mentioned above..... I know that there will be a serious upgrade in power, but will it affect the longevity of the reciever board and the motor? Thanks in advance for the answer!
Habieru84 I'm glad I read your comment. I was just about to grab a Maisto Extremem for my kid. In what ways is this one better, in your opinion? The Maisto have any better points? Any other competitors to look at in the last couple of years in the toy grade crawler market? Thanks!
FOR THE PRICE YOU CANT BEAT THAT AND YOU CAN EVEN PLAY WITH CIRCUIT BOARD CHANGING AS IT IS 4WD IN GEARS SO YOU COULD CHANGE OUT A BETTER BOARD AND CONTROLLER WITH SPEED CONTROL ALSO.AWESOME
I plan to use this with a Gopro and light mounted on it to scope for leaky water pipes and other issues in the crawlspace underneath my house. Should be pretty ideal and for 30 bucks, given the functionality, you just can't beat it.
+Jim H i paid $60 bux more or less for an SCX10 deadbolt. I trim the throttle to a good speed and let my 2 year old son steer it. Yea he bashes, rolls, and drives straight into bushes, and guess what? I don't care! Sadly I like the toy grade stuff even more than my axial line up. I get a wicked satisfaction from upgrading the hell out of toys
2 months from Gearbest, about as fast as the shipping speed Call it the "Conqueror"... that what it has embedded in the plastic. Perfect for kids who cant drive slow and hit things alot. Should take the circuit board out and coat it with liquid tape before hitting the puddles. It also has an outlet at 5v on the board for lights, lol.
Seeing as the battery pack is only nicad and not lipo do you think it would be ok to convert it to run on standard AA batteries? A set of Eneloop pros would offer nearly 4 times the mah. I know that lipo batteries have MUCH greater current but as far as I know nicad isn't very different from nimh in terms of internal resistance so in theory an AA conversion could provide much better runtime with a cheap and fast charging power source, a couple of sets of eneloops could potentially get hours of runtime. I've very tempted to experiment with this mod, if the standard battery pack was lipo I wouldn't even dream of doing it but as it's nicad I'm not sure there would be much of a negative impact on performance, just a greatly increased run time, thoughts?
It needs more weight to create more friction, As the toy is lightweight it cant create enough friction due to which wheels loose grip on the ground while climbing up.
Just got this for my son as a Christmas present but I'm having a problem, the indicator light on the transmitter blinks red 2 minutes after he drives it then the truck stops working, the battery in the truck is fully charged so I don't understand why I'm getting this problem. How long is this truck suppose to run on a full charge and what can be causing this problem?
I was using this toy and it was perfectly working fone. However i used a higher voltage battery and since then it has stopped working.pls advise if i can change the chip inside the car and where do i get one?
i have a 2wd hobby grade RC that I run and do dirt track and gravel drifting in and my 5yo daughter has showed interest in getting an RC aswell however she is quite young and lacks the ability to actively run throttle and steering at the same time smoothly so I have looked at one of these for her as a learner car... wanted to get something cheap that doesn't matter if she bashes and still has enough power and clearance that it wont just spent 90% of the time stuck on gravel rocks... would you consider this worth my time and money to get her? our RC time has turned into our own little father daughter bonding time and I don't want to lose that just because she doesn't have her own truck to drive with me
It centers out it setting lower than a large scale it is lighter...I don't understand why its said that it don't have any power after it's been running for a while and wonder why it can't clime get real great demo
+alishanmao You would be better off boiling them and then making a dough with flour and water, then frying them in peanut oil. That is what my Italian mother does when she picks them:)
+alishanmao They are all over, but in this frame at 10:09, the right wheel is touching one of the dandelions (weeds). I would not trust those to eat, go to store and get what is called dandelions.
I bought mine for at least 2 years now and trying to restore it. The shocks are rusted and was trying to replace or repaint them. Now that I saw this, did it really help?
This is an upgraded version of the Miasto crawler which came out few years ago. There are easy mods you can do to this. I have one its fun out of the box and more fun after some lil mods.. changing the motors to more powerful one is easy and if you know how to solder you can add connectors for better batteries.. and adding lights to it makes it look cooler ever more..
I have a New Bright R/C Rock Crawler Pro Dirt Jeep thats not working and would like to get it fixed. I live in PA and want to know if you can recommend a repair shop near me. or could I send it to you for repair.
Hi Alishanmao, Sir can you please help me. I also have this car and after using a couple of months its not going straight i pull that trigger back but suddenly it veers left rather than going straight And if i use the adjusting switch to left or right it goes to that particular direction only. Sir please help me pls make a video on how to adjust this car. Or at least give me some suggestions. Please sir. Yours sincerely Randy.
I would just glue on some bigger wheels😆. I have gotten a similar crawler but I put an actual hobby grade esc and reciver with a 3s so I am actually able to do some crawling. Kinda suprised I have not blown it up with the 3s yet i like trippled its stock speed.
Hi nice review , I was wondering whether there are any suggestions for any other decent crawlers in the range of $50-$55 , which has proportional throttle atleast
I now you messaged that a year ago so this is more for other people, but there is pretty much no way you can get proportional steering for that price, at least not new
I agree, a speed control would've made this extremely fun. BTW if anyone was wondering, the hobby grade rc that this toy imitates is the Vaterra Slick Rock, which is over 200 dollars.
I was going to buy it , but thanks to you I've save my money, I'm not buying it without speed and no turn adjustments Thanks alishanmao, Your videos are awesome !!!!
Hello ! I bought the exact same crawler for fun but it proved to have a good chassis. Although mine does not have a rechargeable battery pack inside but instead 4X1.5 V (AA) batteries. How many V is your battery pack cause it seems to have more power than mine? Also, is there any way you modded yours (motors, servo, esc etc..) ? Great video by the way. Thank you in advance!!
Buy larger scale with 8.4v nicad pack. Upgrading to hobby class will be easier with the larger chsssis. 4AA batteries=6v So speed is reduced. 8.4v nicad packs have 7 cells, so you'll have longer run duration.

alishanmao Well, you can see what I did in the photos :D
cool! where did you buy the reciever and the esc and what brand are they? I want to make my crawler fully proportional too
I have a couple of these and for the money it's a great little machine. My 4 year old loves them.

+RC Hunter fancy seeing you here! I just ordered a WlToys a979

What sort of esc can be added? What motors does it have? 240 or something?

Hillbillyrepair i thought it has only one speed

for the money its a nice all in one Toy.
I plan to use this with a Gopro and light mounted on it to scope for leaky water pipes and other issues in the crawlspace underneath my house. Should be pretty ideal and for 30 bucks, given the functionality, you just can't beat it.
Just bought one for my son for Christmas. I’m so glad I saw your review. I was worried this RC car was a dud. Thank you
I'm thinking of buying my boy (7) one this Christmas.
How did it go with yours?
If your kid is always wanting to play with your hobby crawler, I would definitely get them this. would be fun climbing together.
+Jim H My Kid played with it for a while then got busy with his other toys lol. He has too many of these toys
+Jim H i paid $60 bux more or less for an SCX10 deadbolt. I trim the throttle to a good speed and let my 2 year old son steer it.

please tell me how to convert to it
It needs more weight to create more friction, As the toy is lightweight it cant create enough friction due to which wheels loose grip on the ground while climbing up.
Sorry, you are not correct. It needs a propotional digital electronic speed controller. Not more weight.
Even I have this it's working well
I have an rc car like that but it's blu. Howww did it's life gets longer. The Ni Cd battery is 700 mah which it's short lifed car.
If it had softer tires it would be way better
Cody Orr te tires don’t have air in them
Give it to me I'll give you $42
If it had proportional control you wouldn't have wheel spin, because you could ease into the throttle instead of instant full power.
Do you wont to sell the rc cer i will by it for 50 dollers
I have one and it have soft tyres!
Edit:Verry soft!
I have a Rock Crawler, But it is alloy material.. It can have a go on the dry construction sand...
Just got this for my son as a Christmas present but I'm having a problem, the indicator light on the transmitter blinks red 2 minutes after he drives it then the truck stops working, the battery in the truck is fully charged so I don't understand why I'm getting this problem. How long is this truck suppose to run on a full charge and what can be causing this problem?
good video, showing more of what the lil thing can do... let my actions speak for itself
Ha ha nice crawling and fighting through them big rocks :) Thumbs up ! :)
That does well for the price. Always looking for cheap good rc for my kids.
I was using this toy and it was perfectly working fone. However i used a higher voltage battery and since then it has stopped working.pls advise if i can change the chip inside the car and where do i get one?
wondering how we modify it with a speed controler?
Does it's batteries come already charged or do we need to charge them before first use
9:34 the back tire is spinning without the wheel well I’d glue that on and you will get way better performqnce
i have a 2wd hobby grade RC that I run and do dirt track and gravel drifting in and my 5yo daughter has showed interest in getting an RC aswell however she is quite young and lacks the ability to actively run throttle and steering at the same time smoothly so I have looked at one of these for her as a learner car... wanted to get something cheap that doesn't matter if she bashes and still has enough power and clearance that it wont just spent 90% of the time stuck on gravel rocks... would you consider this worth my time and money to get her? our RC time has turned into our own little father daughter bonding time and I don't want to lose that just because she doesn't have her own truck to drive with me
Gaming Made Simple yup but the batteries tho
i remember this rc i bought this one year ago and front motor stopped working 1 week of use
Very nice video. I love it. 좋아요!!
I have the same toy and it's not bad actually. Not like I'm pro or anything but I liked it
is it good for winter
I bought one for my son and it's well worth the 20 pounds goes were other cheapys can't
Thanks for the review.
It centers out it setting lower than a large scale it is lighter...I don't understand why its said that it don't have any power after it's been running for a while and wonder why it can't clime get real great demo
Great video, thanks for the review.
Very nice demonstration.
I purchased the newest one but did not come with a charger, only the cable.
I love your RC video, keep it up bro... Salam eid mubarak
Wassalam Eid Mubarak,
Amazing crawler, amazing weeds can manage to grow within those rocks!
+Vparanormal1 really, can you point those weeds out? Maybe i can enjoy some high time :D
+alishanmao You would be better off boiling them and then making a dough with flour and water, then frying them in peanut oil. That is what my Italian mother does when she picks them:)
+Vparanormal1 hmm but which one are those? Can you point out exactly in video. Like at what time stamp do they appear? :D LOL Its worth a try
+alishanmao They are all over, but in this frame at 10:09, the right wheel is touching one of the dandelions (weeds). I would not trust those to eat, go to store and get what is called dandelions.
what are the measurements of the car?
long and wide.
I took the springs off Mine and it helped a lot
I bought mine for at least 2 years now and trying to restore it. The shocks are rusted and was trying to replace or repaint them. Now that I saw this, did it really help?
how fast does it go in a smooth area.
Will you recommend speed controled crawler or RC car on budget
how did you waterproof it can you show us the link pra make a vídeo
Just bought one for my lad what sort of battery life do you get of 700mah unit
I also saw this both 1/16 & the bigger size ones too in singapore you store! ☺
There fun for trail crawler. I turned a 6x6
I have a bigger version of that one I have had it for about 3 years and still works perfectly
This is good?

Show a tutorial please
@@LuisOrion13 for battery upgrade, you can simply buy a 4.8 volts 2400 mAH battery on amazon. this will give you more play time.
555TIMER PWM SWITCH IN THE CONTROLLER WITH SPEED CONTROL KNOB WOULD BE AWESOME AND HELP THIS THING
+david webb Really good idea! Do you think the original controller would be fast/responsive enough to make it crawl decent?
Can i also run this on 7,4 volts?
Would probably destroy the motor since it runs on a 3v~4v motor, hence the 4.8v battery
mine is 1:16 scale rock crawler victorious.. i want to put esc, big motor and big voltage battery. is it possible?
A cool crawler :-)
How much do you think it would, cost to put good electronics in like Traxxas tq controler or fly sky stuff and Traxxas xl5 motor and esc
I have a New Bright R/C Rock Crawler Pro Dirt Jeep thats not working and would like to get it fixed. I live in PA and want to know if you can recommend a repair shop near me. or could I send it to you for repair.
Super Cars :-)
Its the same of the maisto Rock crawler
can it be modded for proportional ?
is it waterproof?
Could you pass me the site where i could buy the battery for this RC car model
Chenglish is a perfect way to describe the way the manuals are translated in these 😂
Can you explain what he meant by problem with chenglish please?
This truck adjust the changed body
I use to race with him......
Jump with it....... By making ramps..... It is very good crawler
Whats the link to the RC vehicle in the Video? I would like to buy one.
How much distance it will go
Should i remove the led light from it?
Hi Alishanmao,
Sir can you please help me. I also have this car and after using a couple of months its not going straight i pull that trigger back but suddenly it veers left rather than going straight And if i use the adjusting switch to left or right it goes to that particular direction only. Sir please help me pls make a video on how to adjust this car. Or at least give me some suggestions.
Please sir.
Yours sincerely
Randy.
The motor on the driving shaft probably is destroyed or worn out
Hey bro is this waterproof? nd how much hour the battery remain
no it is not. about 20min
Kiran Ellis Around 20min
How long is its charging time
I have a rc car 30$ and it flexes GOOD like damn
NOT BUILT TO LAST! Bought my son one and he broke the front arm on it within 25 minutes.
I love rc toy cars😍
Thanks
I would just glue on some bigger wheels😆. I have gotten a similar crawler but I put an actual hobby grade esc and reciver with a 3s so I am actually able to do some crawling. Kinda suprised I have not blown it up with the 3s yet i like trippled its stock speed.
You also sold your Linchon?
Saludos desde 🇲🇽 hace poco lo pedí porque se ve interesante espero y no me defraude
Como te fue con el carro amigo
Pasa el link!!!
Incredible! a video inside a rubble dump
How's the battery life
N3ON CLIPS 20min
How long before you need to charge it again? How fast? Is it durable? Thanks 😊
It is not 2 hrs or 15kmh it takes up to 6 hours to charge for 15-20 minutes of use when charged. At most it is a few kmh.
where did u get it

We're in the 21st century, there's no excuse not to have a variable throttle now lol
+Green Silver Yup, just need excuses to go cheaper and cheaper
+alishanmao AT THAT PRICE, IT'S PHENOMENAL, I WILL BE BUYING A FEW OF THEM AND MODDING THEM TO DEATH!
I agree, a speed control would've made this extremely fun. BTW if anyone was wondering, the hobby grade rc that this toy imitates is the Vaterra Slick Rock, which is over 200 dollars.
Its worth paying the extra 160 vs getting this junk
@@S30Uploads Did you mod them?
The struggle is real 😂😂
During battery?
I was going to buy it , but thanks to you I've save my money, I'm not buying it without speed and no turn adjustments
Thanks alishanmao, Your videos are awesome !!!!
The 1:10 scale can adjust the speed
what is the maximum speed of car ?
How much miles per hour i might buy this
It's ment to go really slow I've got a really hobby grade one there ment to go very slow
How many time it take to full charge??
Pritam Das :
8 hours for the first time removed from the box
powerful according to it's size
Hello ! I bought the exact same crawler for fun but it proved to have a good chassis. Although mine does not have a rechargeable battery pack inside but instead 4X1.5 V (AA) batteries. How many V is your battery pack cause it seems to have more power than mine? Also, is there any way you modded yours (motors, servo, esc etc..) ? Great video by the way. Thank you in advance!!
Buy larger scale with 8.4v nicad pack.
Upgrading to hobby class will be easier with the larger chsssis. 4AA batteries=6v
So speed is reduced. 8.4v nicad packs have 7 cells, so you'll have longer run duration.
How long you can play after you charged the car?
tunkun li 50 minutes
About 20-25min
hobby grade gang where u at
I have also bought this same it is supperb
How much is the rock crawler
Nice wow reminds me of my 6x6 content so cool ❗❗👍👍
Glad you like it
I want to buy but how it is
hi ya ,great vid thanks as thinking of getting 2 but will i be able to
have 2 on and race each other or will they be on the same frequency? or
is there a switch so you can change channels?.thanks..
I have that and I love it
