Great video. Simple maintenance, changing motor and ESC and it's alive⚡⚡⚡. Even if it's not perfect on dust yet, it's a buggy and I wanted to see it there😉
my very first hobby grade rc was the jrx2. instead of going on our grade 8 field trip i convinced my mom to put the money towards a used jrx2 it had a after market fiberglass frame with a pink coating that was a lot thicker and harder than paint almost like powder coating. if any of you know what that material is please let me know.
Getting the shocks to seal took some fiddling on mine. I got the front and rear sets of springs made for the mini b and found the rear gold and silver on the front really helps the front get traction. With a gyro on steering, it can really hook a turn. 30 wt rear, 25 wt front.
Contemplating going brushless on my mini JRX2 I just bought. Looking at the Hobbywing Quicrun 4500 kv combo. Don’t know it will be fast enough though lol (maybe with 3s) got a black one
Need to drop in an ecopower mini servo if you are going to add power and weight. The stock servo is not adequate for brushless and a heavier front end. Ecopower mini servos can he had for ~$20
Looks great, you did a good job doing the mods and the suspension should work better, on a side note the thicker shock oil you use the harder time the spring has getting back to ride height, I think this little guy would benefit from a really light weight oil, I would start at 20wt and work my way up. These might benefit from drilling the shock piston holes to allow more oil to flow quicker too. Looks like a lot of fun my dude
Ok great advice. Yeah i will lighten up the oil. I can also adjust the 5 link suspension there are like 5 holes down there. I got the add weight trick from u by bro.
Naw it leaks out before it ever gets to you, I changed my springs and it did wonders for the car, I need tires for sure because I ran the stocks brushless on the pavement in Florida head and shredded them

Might give this a try. Thanks 😊
That lil buggy rips! 🥳 looks like tons of fun!
Just waiting for you to get one.
Red silicone gasket maker on the shock threads will help keep the oil in.
Sweet idea. Thanks
Try 35 wt in the front with rear springs the crome soft or black medium. 45 wt in the rear with the gold hard springs . Drives and jumps like a dream
Awesome tips. Thanks will do

Keep me posted
Do you have a link to the upgrade parts?
Good job. All these new cars ought to be brushless from the factory now. Ain’t nobody got time for slow cars!!
Totally right!
I have put in 700cst but when I push the car down it does not come up again. I don't know what the problem is. Do you have any clue?
Stock springs ?
Need to drop in an ecopower mini servo if you are going to add power and weight. The stock servo is not adequate for brushless and a heavier front end. Ecopower mini servos can he had for ~$20
Sounds good . Are they heavier?
@Fog City RC not necessarily heavier but that 107 is discontinued and known to burn up
Hey, nice upgrades. Can you provide links to the parts you upgraded? Thank you
Nice upgrade! 👍🏻🍻
Thanks so much

@@fogcityrc4874 great job 👏
what model esc and motor is that?
What battery and receiver did you use I want to do this with mine
You need to change everything. Motor esc and receiver. You can use stock battery. This radio is radiolink and its receiver
@@fogcityrc4874 Thanks, I will check that out.
WTH no oil? That is NUTS.
Wondering if others are reporting the same or even checking
Got to see it to believe it...

I can’t wait for the carbonfiber hop ups to start coming out I’m putting a tp 2030 in mines
It will rip. Weigh down the front end.
What servos and radio are you using?
I left the stock servo in and went with radiolink for the radio
Nice upgrades!!!
Does a 2436 would fit in?
Kv?
@@fogcityrc4874 No I was speaking in terms of motor size! Ha ha!
🔥💪🏾💯
Thanks
Nice buggy but needs speed
Definitely
Ｐｒⓞм𝕠𝕤𝐌
Slow
A little. Do you have one
I love how everyone tgese days mistakes fiberglass for carbon fiber
You need to put some fishing weights in your tires lmao itll hold er down offroad suspension master!!!
Nice tip. Thanks
