    Thanks for the heads up on the stock wheels and metal hex adapters, def good to know.

      No problem man, at first I was confused why some wheels moved freely and others didn't so I'm glad I figured it out but doesn't matter much anymore since I just run the aftermarket wheels that don't have that issue.

      Haha True, some people like it that way I just prefer matching sets. Thanks for watching my friend.

    One more nice video on this rc car, my fellow youtuber.
    I can confirm the latest model mazda rx7 with new remote comes with the bigger wheels.
    On the subject of the tires rubbing did you found any solution?maybe grinding them? I have one nsx in the mail the red version.
    I have been learning from this series a lot, you allways bring good points.
    Thanks for sharing.
    See you soon.

      Thanks my friend. Glad to hear you joined the LDRC community. When I get some time I'll come check out your videos. The wheels only have the issue if you switch to metal hex hub adapters and since I had 2 sets of wheels I just used the good ones since 5 were good and 3 were bad. But if I didn't have extra wheels then yes, grinding some of the plastic down would probably be the solution. Just make sure not to grind off too much and it's flat and level. You may get lucky and not have that problem like I did and if you switch to aftermarket rims and tires then it's not an issue either.

    When turning right, my left wheel won't touch the ground, how do I fix that?

    • @AirToGroundRCFPV

      Chances are it's the front suspension spring. The tension on one side is tighter than the other so it will lift up on that side. So you may have to tweak the spring on the side either by loosening the tension screw of bending the spring at one of the joints to match the tension on the other side. Also make sure the swing arms are moving freely and nothing is getting stuck when bouncing up and down or the wheel isn't hitting anything when you max out the steering on that side.

      I don't think it is adjustable cuz I got independent suspension on my ld 1804 as stock

      @@DanielWu1007 Oh ok so you have one of the newer models with actual shocks instead of the old style metal bar springs. I have not tested those to know what issues they may have so it's hard to say what your issue is exactly. You're gonna have to mess around with them and check that they are doing the same thing on both sides and not getting stuck on anything, check to see if you see something is off with one of them and do you're best to fix it so it matches the other side. Sorry it's hard for me to trouble shoot for you since I don't have the same suspension.

    this video seems very informative but i am struggling with taking off the wheels, i never have before and they dont come off when i unscrew them

    • @AirToGroundRCFPV
      @AirToGroundRCFPV  23 дня назад +1

      The wheels are a little snug on the hex adapter but once you unscrew them they pull right off. Just use a little more force.

    Oh, there IS rubber tyres, okay! 😮
    I'm just looking for buying one of theese RC cars. But, should I take a Skyline, or a Miata? I don't know yet, definately Skyline, buuuuut... 😅

      @AirToGroundRCFPV  2 месяца назад

      I'm an R34 fan so you know my answer. I just have so many Mini-Z R34 bodies and no NSX so that's why I got the NSX otherwise the R34 would be my first pick lol

    • @TheBetterElias
      @TheBetterElias 24 дня назад +1

      i got both, the miata is a little easier to drift because its lighter (i think)
