@@jasongaudet8719 ever do it yet? haha. looking to modify my sons 1/5th newbright rzr. popped the motor out, dang this thing is TINY and only rated for ~3V. Thinking about getting an adapter for a 20v dewalt battery, trying to find a good motor to replace this one. Also not sure how the board will handle 20v.
Good video! My favorite New Bright RC is this yellow Hummer H2 I got when I was 10. (I'm 29 now) Played with it a lot as a kid and even early in my adult hood, but pulling it out again yesterday, it still runs however the battery was darn near useless now. (not that I am surprised) Naturally I have considered seeing I can mod it to use my 3S lipo I have and that's actually how I found your channel! I should note I am not in the RC hobby, but I know a thing or 2 about electronics just from modding Nerf blasters over the years.
Was at Walmart on last Friday and Picked up a 1/5 scale NewBright Polariz. Thing is HUDGE! Got it for a great deal since it was from 2002. But... As I got it home? The Battery and the Charger were "Missing"... I could of returned it. But nah. So I hooked up my Car Battery Jump starter that had a 12v DC plug on it. MAN this thing FLIES! The car is alredy pretty broken up, but whatever. I can glue that stuff back on. But what gets me is that the body is held on with the TriWing security bit. So I have to get some long reach security bit bolts. I figure its already a 12.8 volt pack on there. SO just the 15 or so volts with voltage drop ran to the bottom works out pretty good. Plan to mod some REAL LED lights on the body and go from there.
I have a dodge challenger with a stock 3.7v battery, And a speedy demon alkaline battery only rc car. I hope I can get another new bright rc car on Christmas!
I just use the 12.8 new bright battery. Works great. Once the electronic board fried. Bought a new truck a and vented the box around the electronic board then added a makeshift ram arm system to the board. Haven't had any issue since. Oh this is the "Rebel Pro new bright"
What's a ram arm cuz I have the new bright crawler with the blue chevy metal body and I'm trying to get it to crawl better so I want to do a battery up grade and still use the same power chip
I really like New Bright RC's but the problem is that they're too slow out of the box; i actually have 3: a red Vortex, a silver Mustang and a black and yellow Dodge Ram HEMI. And i'm going to do this same upgrade on all my New Bright RC's.
I put a 12.8V on a 30 dollar new bright buggy that originally came with a 6v battery. Its speed quadrupled. The acceleration was not crazy but steady. On the cement the motor was fine, but on the grass the extra power ate the motor teeth up. It was worth the experiment though.
Yes, you need to run a low voltage alarm on the lipo balance plug or you may end up draining it past 3.0v per cell and puffing the lipo. My 5500mah lipo would probably last around 45min, so when I don’t use an LVD, I just make sure I don’t run it more than 20min or so before I throw it back on the charger.
you should do a full hobby swap it the only way you can get any performance out of a new bright but then again the gearbox would probably explode lol i know a guy who installed a 7200kv brushless set up in his new bright but think it had a much stronger gearbox than your model
Hey here just looking for info since I’m thinking of Putin’s in a 4-S in the new bright Polaris 4x4 1:5.. the 12.8 doesn’t seem to have much power want to see what it can do
jmoney262 Personally I’d probably give a Tamiya 380 motor a shot, but I’m not sure the stock ESC could handle it. Also, the stock pinion may not fit into the Taniya motor’s shaft. It would be a lot of experimenting and tinkering.
Hi! I have a grave digger rc 9.6v with the battery dead.. i want to do this modify, can you link me please where can I buy the right lipo compatible battery with the charger? Thanks and compliments for the video! Bye from Italy😊
Hello from America! This is the charger I use… www.amazon.com/HOBBYMATE-Battery-Balance-Charger-Adapter/dp/B01NB9A36R/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?adgrpid=54743655583&hvadid=604465680394&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9030893&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=14858964340759700049&hvtargid=kwd-301231407780&hydadcr=18999_13432075&keywords=imax+b6+charger+power+supply&qid=1706479880&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1 Unfortunately due to the different sized cavities in the various RC’s, I would not know the exact size lipo you would need for your application. But something like these may work…. www.amazon.com/Hilldow-Batteries-Rechargeable-Dean-Style-Connector/dp/B0BFDPR6NT/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?crid=17TFP67N9YU0A&keywords=2s+lipo&qid=1706480112&sprefix=2s+lipo%2Caps%2C228&sr=8-13 Just make sure to measure so you don’t get one too big. 👍🏼
1:6 trail boss. Dual motor, 4x4. The shocks did NOTHING. 4 sheet metal screws moved the shocks to another set of mounting studs and it works great! Then the batter died and I didn’t actually get to try it 😕
I put a 18v Milwaukee drill battery in my RZR New Bright, worked great, probably twice as fast but ultimately the rear motor and steering motors both burned up, any ideas on replacements?
Can't without just replacing the rear end it's a pain in the azz because motor. Ain't that big if you try and replacing it with a bigger one it won't work
Jason Gaudet I don’t know much about upgrading the servo in toy grades, but for Lipo batteries, my go to has been Zippys or Turnigy from Hobby King. Depends on whether you want 2s or 3s as well as the size you need. You may need a small battery with less capacity if there isn’t much room for a battery underneath the body, or you may be able to fit a nice big battery like I did in this truck. You’ll have to do some measuring and then check specs online for what battery will fit. Good luck with your project!
Correct. The motor is quite weak. The two biggest reasons New Bright does this is #1, safety. The slower the truck is, the less likely it will harm a child and cause a lawsuit. And #2 is that a weaker motor is less likely to damage the cheap drivetrain components. Unfortunately New Bright’s largest sector of customers is children around 4-8 years old, so their products are often tailored toward that age range.

Might be worth looking for a older nikko,tyco etc that uses a 540 motor & put electronics into or maybe just a rear gearbox from like a used 1:10th scale Dunno what the electronics of this can handle but maybe you can mod the gearbox & put in like a 80t crawler 540 motor on the stock electronics on 2s lipo power ? If you can figure out the general load current of this motor on 3s lipo maybe you can find something that upgrades the torque significantly while not overloading the electronics on voltage or how much current it drains.
waste of a 3s battery if you ask me. That car prob costs at least 80 bucks maybe 70 just because it is so big. a you can get a brushed 1:10 hobby grade for the same price that will go 20 mph right out of the box. adding the 3s battery to the $80 hobby grade will get it to do 30mph or close to it. a 3s battery may run you about 20 bucks. For the price of a few pair of 3s batteries, you could get a 2s 1:10 hobby grade, rtr with 2s batteries. This truck in your video should be used to play with bigger motors or something.
There isn’t a direct drop in replacement that I’m aware of. You’ll need to modify the car to accept a different battery. In that case, any basic 2s lipo battery on Amazon will do that has decent reviews.

That looks like San Francisco Peaks @ 4:23!
I run a 1998 1: 16th Scale Ford Raptor by New Bright, I've got some upgrades for it, such as a set of Dash cams, a USB power bank, and some LED's.
The dog chasing after the truck😂😂😂
Wow that's a beautiful ranch you have there!
the body fits the axial yeti with simple mods realy nicely and then it can handle some speed
Cool! We are planning to modify the same truck in the future! You got a sub from us.
I'm gonna try this on my son's 1/5th NewBright RZR. Gonna have to get those connectors and a battery. Appreciate the video.
Did you ever do it? My son has one
Actually it still on my to do list. If I can ever find the time. I have ordered the battery and connectors

I gotta try it .. Only thing different is the New Bright Raptor has two engines one in front & back.
That is similar to my new bright forza dune buggy that will not turn left.
New bright Bigfoot mod would be cool
I always put Die Hard car batteries in my Redcat Rampage,with an alternator.
Do something about the turning and speed
Can you show me a video when you have to charge the battery please
I do want to do this on my new bright raptor dually but it doesn’t seem much faster
The tinkering aspect of it is more appealing than the actual performance increase for sure.
@@MapleBoarder78 ya for sure

Will this drain the lipo battery and make it low voltage if you run it too long? Please answer
Yes, you need to run a low voltage alarm on the lipo balance plug or you may end up draining it past 3.0v per cell and puffing the lipo. My 5500mah lipo would probably last around 45min, so when I don’t use an LVD, I just make sure I don’t run it more than 20min or so before I throw it back on the charger.
mine was the Ford raptor but it broke over time now my redcat volcano is my favorite😁😁
Have you upgraded the esc and motor yet?
@@AutismApostle No, just kept it stock and threw it away after the kids got bored with it. Kept the body though and sold it on eBay.
you should do a full hobby swap it the only way you can get any performance out of a new bright but then again the gearbox would probably explode lol i know a guy who installed a 7200kv brushless set up in his new bright but think it had a much stronger gearbox than your model

Just make sure to measure so you don’t get one too big. 👍🏼
@@MapleBoarder78 thank you very much! The rc car is 9.6 volt, can you suggest me some batteries?
@@matteomedea7619 I used a 3s lipo (11.1v) for my 9.6v application.
Is there a reason he left the old battery in?
I left the ability to use the old battery as well in case I needed it slower for much younger children.
1:6 trail boss. Dual motor, 4x4. The shocks did NOTHING. 4 sheet metal screws moved the shocks to another set of mounting studs and it works great! Then the batter died and I didn’t actually get to try it 😕
Do you have a charger?
So it's the battery that makes it slow?
No, the battery is decent. It’s the speed control/motor system that limits its performance. I’m just over volting it to squeeze more power out.
@@MapleBoarder78 got you
I put a 18v Milwaukee drill battery in my RZR New Bright, worked great, probably twice as fast but ultimately the rear motor and steering motors both burned up, any ideas on replacements?
Steering servos I have no idea. I believe a 380 Tamiya motor will work in these New Bright.
Find another old new bright with no controller of eBay for dirt cheap prices or just get new motors
Change the motor on it upgrade it :)
Can't without just replacing the rear end it's a pain in the azz because motor. Ain't that big if you try and replacing it with a bigger one it won't work
I had the back of my rc truck break
Can I fix it with metal springs
Mat-ster Mat-ster Almost anything can be done with the right skill, parts, and tools. 👍🏼 Might be worth it to just buy a new one.

Hello. Cool Video. I'm just getting into RC Cars. Does putting a longer antenna on the car also help with Range?
I have not tried a longer antenna but imagine it could improve your range at least 10-15ft more.

I Burned both tiny motors with 3s Liponof a scorpion Pro 🤷♂️😥
