Running stock for now. Cant wait to see a full build episode. Great car for what it is. Fun part of the hobby is always buliding better. Steering and thicker diff fluid is my only real complaint
Great vid. I have also upgraded the steering servo and the aluminium steering parts. However there is no upgrade for the plastic setvo horn/servo saver. This seems to bethe weak link in the steering. It's way too soft with the new metal gear servo....is tgere an upgrade for the plastic horn that you know of?
Thankyou for watching Chap!, and your kind comment!.. I`m not aware of an upgraded servo saver, I have slightly stretched the spring to give it a little more grip, and im considering stretching it a little more, or looking for a washer to fit.. I hope thats helpful Chap!
@@JTAloft they are 15mm extenders.. they extend by 10mm because 5mm replaces the hex that was. so 15`s extend 10mm per wheel..20`s extend 15mm per wheel etc. hope that helps understanding extenders a bit better chap!..
@@JTAloft I didn't get the extenders from Serious-Rc, I got them from eBay... loads of people sell them,they are very common.. here is where I brought mine.. 15's.. they were red but I removed that and polished them. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394008417949?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=FGuy7wMHQGC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=6T6KsFniTvK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
That is AWESOME!! Amazing work! I’m working on the Aluminum parts on mine. When you did the servo swap, was that basically just remove and replace? There’s not a stock “clip” is there to remove servo wire? You had to cut? Any soldering? Are you using original transmitter? Would love more info. Really want mine to move this well.
@@cheggers1973 Great, I am just thinking in case of a serious front impact without that padding, servo and battery bye-bye? However I think this will only become a serious threat at 120 km/h plus speeds. So we still have some way to go before we get there, LOL!!! Anyway, I have a whole roll of foam door sealing strip lying around, so I cut off a piece and stuck it onto my servo between the battery and the servo.
Hi! Just found your video. Great job there! I have one question. I am slowly upgrading my 14210 and I got the same red tie rods. Just went out to try the car but they get unscrewed completely. How did you fix them? I tried even to start with a very open toe (tie rods totally screwed in) but after 3 mins of runs they get completly unscrewed and they fall apart. Tried to put the system together, run once more and the issue came back.... Your help would be very much appreciated!!!
I fitted the same servo, I guess I ordered the one without the servo horn/servo saver. After the upgraded servo I'm having issues with the servo saver, it just slips.
2:49 nice video. We are using the same servo… huge difference. Where did you get the aluminum front bumper? The original seems to be a weak part of this car
Cheers!... The middle part of the bumper is a 16207 bumper made to fit with a hacksaw and file.. the rest I made from some 40mm diameter aluminium tube,a hacksaw,file,sand paper and then pollished.
The steering parts were from AliExpress but Serious RC will be stocking them soon.. I don't have a link to all the parts as a kit at the moment, the Alloy Parts listed are just the red anodised ones and in pairs.. very shortly there will be full kit links in all the colours.. they are in the process of stocking these and the website needs updating with the new bits..

@@cheggers1973 I've ordered AliExpress steering parts and servo. How involved is changing the servo? Any gotchas to look out for when try to make the change? Thanks
I know I’m a bit late to seeing this but I noticed you have a metal skid plate just below the front suspension. Is that a part you found or is that a custom one? Great video!
You need 2 hex / screwdrivers (14209 comes with Phillips screws, 14210 with hex scres). Insert 1 into the screw at each end of the red bar, hold 1 still while unscrewing the opposite end. Both screws have a LOT of Loctite from the factory, so you need quite a lot of force to undo. You should hear a "crack" when the Loctite bond breaks, then you can undo the screws. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi Sir, can I get your opinion on something, I have 2 x 14210 both have the servo you are using, however one of them just seems weaker than the other one, I wonder if I should replace or if there is something else I need to do first? In the clip the car on right just doesn't feel very strong, when on ground, of course when held up the steering is very responsive... ruclips.net/user/shortsp9MM0y4EKKY?si=_oDXuW-6GmjCwmOZ
hi!, you can hear that its still doing it full range of movement, but the servo saver is slipping a bit under the load of static steering on the spot. remove the servo saver and stretch the spring with some plyers to about 16mm from its existing 10..11mm.. this will fix it.. put a tiny bit of threadlocker on the screw. be careful not to get any on the plastic. Thanks For Watching!

In addition to that, I also ordered an aluminum servo horn. Not sure if it will make a difference in the steering though.
Please come back and tell me if it did make any difference

Ok great thanks! Also what are the extended hubs? How much wider does it extend the wheels by?
@@JTAloft they are 15mm extenders.. they extend by 10mm because 5mm replaces the hex that was. so 15`s extend 10mm per wheel..20`s extend 15mm per wheel etc.

thanks from Rom
Does anyone else think that one should put a foam buffer pad between the battery and the steering servo?
I did see a few people have needed such padding.. thankfully I've not had the battery move, possibly due to how I strap it.

You need Loctite 243 Thread lock on all the screwy bits.. set the steering straight.
@@cheggers1973 thank you mate! Will put immediately when I will be home 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I fitted the same servo, I guess I ordered the one without the servo horn/servo saver. After the upgraded servo I'm having issues with the servo saver, it just slips.
Stretch the servo saver spring from 10mm to 15mm and it will grip chap.
The fans are weak and I'm trying to find a good motor fan. Replaced the servo with a 1/10 metal gear servo and it actually turns now.
Looking for 14209 hypergo servo upgrade

Great video!
Cheers!, It's a custom one made by myself from some alloy tube, mounted on top of a manufactured one from the 16207 that needs modifications to fit.
Hello! Does the metal steering parts reducera slopiness in the wheels?
Sorry what parts would you suggest for me to get to take the steering better without buying all the aluminium parts
They are approx £10, this is the Way...
@@cheggers1973ok was it just the aluminium steering just to buy to make it a bit better
How did you set the End Play for the new servo?
You have to have a Transmitter capable of setting the rates and total travel... The stock transmitter doesn't have these options.
Hi sorry I’m trying to remove the middle bar on mine but it just seems to spin any tips
You need 2 hex / screwdrivers (14209 comes with Phillips screws, 14210 with hex scres). Insert 1 into the screw at each end of the red bar, hold 1 still while unscrewing the opposite end.

Do you have a link for the servo, I cant seem to find it.

remove the servo saver and stretch the spring with some plyers to about 16mm from its existing 10..11mm.. this will fix it.. put a tiny bit of threadlocker on the screw. be careful not to get any on the plastic.
Thanks For Watching!
I confirm, I had the same behavior on mine and find out it was the servo saver.
