More Sandyland mods! - New LiPos, XT-60 Connector and Metal Diffs!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- In this video, I'm doing 2 more upgrades for the tiny Sandyland car - I'll be putting on some XT-60 connectors which will let me run some new batteries, and replacing the plastic diffs with metal ones for improved strength. These two upgrades will make the Sandyland way more powerful!
Upgrades:
Metal Diff: amzn.to/3nvaEOU

Bro your contents pretty good I seen your comment in kevins post
love these videos on this car. inspired me to customize the one i got for christmas, subscribed!
Thanks! That’s awesome. It’s a super fun car to work on!
I just got the Ravage 1/16 it's so much much. Looking to do upgrades on it as well. Thanks for the ideas! Definitely getting the oil filled shocks and metal diffs
There are metal bevel gears available. I highly recommend them. My plastic bevels and differentials blew out almost immediately after going brushless.
Funny you would mention that - I just put on a set of metal bevels yesterday because I broke one!
What size pinion and main gear size do you run
New sub hear I just ran into your other vids on this truck and now I want this rc lol anyways love your vids and content and think you deserve more views and likes stay safe stay cool and bash hard bro
I just found your channel and i think your a very good Host
Thanks! 😀
Great video, thank you! I have the same truck. Where did you get the metal diffs?
You need aftermarket shocks, it will help with traction a lot, and handling. I saw that the stock shocks wouldn't take oil, and it was very bouncy, replaced them with some metal ones and 800wt oil, handles a lot better. That and replaced the bushings on the diffs with bearings.
I've always thought about going brushless, and now I found out about the metal diffs. Thanks!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I got the metal diffs here: amzn.to/3nvaEOU
I have been looking for some good metal shocks, but I haven’t ordered any yet because the only ones I could find were pretty expensive. Where did you get yours?
Awesome! Thank you. Yeah the shocks are about $20. Pricy for this car. These are the shocks I got, they make a big difference.
Looking forward to more of your videos.

If you could add some more weight to the car it could handle those 2s lipos great, I wish the sandy land was 1/10 that would be insane
You could put a 1/10 motor and esc in one. I have the WLToys A979b and they’re practically the same. The 979 has a 540 motor in it lol.
Love your videos keep posting!!!!!
Loving the channel bud. What batteries do you use in this video? Send a link?
Sure! Here’s a link to the 2s ones: banggood.com/ZOP-Power-7_4V-1500mAh-40C-2S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-1085890.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU456269&cur_warehouse=CN
And here’s a link to the 3s one (which I didn’t use in this video): banggood.com/ZOP-Power-11_1V-1500mAh-40C-3S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-1085894.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU456274&cur_warehouse=CN
I hope this helps! Have fun! 😀
Do you have a copy of those instructions. Or can you explain what you did. I bought the brushless kit. Haven't installed it yet but will be nice to know incase I run into that problem. Also I think you mentioned it but the receiver binded right to your controller? If so thats awesome. Fun little truck thanks for the videos. Not a whole lot of videos upgrading this truck.
Sure! I have a copy of the instructions here: drive.google.com/file/d/12Ocxsv2MiA1pmpuM_X3booCsDKse4FcO/view?usp=sharing
If you want to open it separately from the link, don't use Google Docs - It messes up the layout.
The receiver did automatically bind to the controller. I literally just had to turn them on. And the transmitter still works with the old electronics!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It definitely is a great car! Have fun upgrading it! 😄
Thanks bud, I appreciate it.
Definitely subscribing
Thanks!
That motor upgrade that you did did it use stock frequency With the controller Or did you have to buy another controller?
It used the same controller. In fact, it actually automatically paired with the stock controller so all I had to do was turn it on!
I dont know but i think upgrading the shocks to oil shock would be cool.
They’re on their way!
cool
Also am I able to run new batteries with the old motor and if so will my car run faster or just longer? Do I purchase a fan if I keep my old motor with new batteries or is it even possible. If so how do I know which batteries to purchase sorry For the rapid questioning just got excited once I seen your channel lol CTFu
I’ve never tried new batteries with the old motor, but in theory, you should be able to use new 2s lipos as long as the amps don’t go too high. They would make the car run for longer, and probably would have slightly better speed and much better acceleration. (Again assuming it doesn’t blow up from having too many amps.)
If you want to try the batteries, they’re these ones here: banggood.com/ZOP-Power-7_4V-1500mAh-40C-2S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-1085890.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU456269&cur_warehouse=CN
(Be careful though.)
I don’t think you can plug a fan into the stock receiver box, but there might be some that work. I don’t know how much hotter it’d run, but a fan probably wouldn’t hurt.
@@CHEESEBURGERRC so new lipo 2s will work will my old motor as long as the amps are low? buying new lipos any better than buying new oringal batteries ?
@@hilfiger.__hendrix._2181 I believe it should, but I haven’t tested it. Unfortunately, Pxtoys hasn’t really given any specs of the esc. I have seen people use better connectors and better batteries, so it certainly should work, but do be careful.
@@hilfiger.__hendrix._2181 And yes the stock batteries aren’t very good so new batteries would definitely be better as long as it doesn’t over power it.
Nice I want to upgrade my car , I need to change motor esc and all
It’s definitely worth it!
Honest questions, I haven't watched your other videos yet but plan to right after this comment, how much faster did upgrading to the brushless motor, make the sandy land (estimate mph is fine I just know they advertise 30 mph which is actually only 10-15) Second question, I've noticed other users and videos shows sandy land controllers to have three dials and one to two switches with of course the typical throttle and turning wheel. Mine however only has two dials, 1 for speed and one for front wheel steering trim and that is all. Is that an upgraded controller they have, did I just get the cheaper sandy land, or is that for specific ones that also have rear steer trim possibly? Any advice and answers would help as I plan on upgrading mine asap especially after your informative videos.
Thanks for watching! On the stock batteries, the brushless motor is not even close to it’s full potential. I’d say it makes maybe a 2-3 mph difference. Definitely noticeable, but not huge. I’d say the biggest advantage of the brushless (with the stock batteries) is the torque - it doesn’t bog down nearly as much in grass and stuff as the brushed one.
By upgrading the batteries, you can really see the top speed increase. In this video with the new 2s lipos, it is probably at least 5 mph faster than stock. Definitely a big improvement.
I also recently put in some bearings and got it going on 3s, and now it’s completely insane! I still haven’t done an actual speed test, but I would not be surprised if it was doing over 30 mph.
As for the radio, Pxtoys has 2 versions, and it sounds like you got the older one. I don’t know if the older one works with the brushless conversion kit, so you might have to get a new radio if you go brushless.
I hope this helps! Have fun! 😀
Put some thick diff oil or silicone earplugs in the diffs
I probably won’t earplug it because it’s so small and light so I feel like that’d be a bit overkill, but I definitely will get some thicker grease!
I have a Pxtoys 9301. It’s a 1/18 short course truck. I plan on buying the brushless motor and esc for it. Where did you buy it from?
Right here: www.pxtoysrc.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/5021/s/pxtoys-9300-upgrade-parts-oil-shock/
CHEESEBURGER RC awesome, thank you so much!Also, I heard you were getting an RC boat. What did you have in mind?
This one here: banggood.com/Volantex-V792-4-ATOMIC-2_4G-Brushless-PNP-60kmh-Atomic-RC-Boat-p-1155657.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU592244&cur_warehouse=CN
It’s a decently cheap brushless boat that is supposed to be pretty fast! It should be a lot of fun!
Oh heck yeah! I’ve checked this one out before. I really want it too. I’ll probably get it next summer though. Can’t wait to see it!
It arrived! It’s a ton of fun.
Where did you get those lipos
I really want them but can find them.
And would you do the same for the charger and put a connector on that or what?
Sure! Here’s the 2s lipo I used here:
m.banggood.com/ZOP-Power-7_4V-1500mAh-40C-2S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-1085890.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU456269&cur_warehouse=CN
I didn’t use the 3s one in this video, but it’s this one:
m.banggood.com/ZOP-Power-11_1V-1500mAh-40C-3S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-1085894.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU456274&cur_warehouse=CN
As for the charger, it’s not a good idea to solder a new connector. You can get proper XT60 charging leads online that’ll be cheaper and safer.
POV you just got a 16889 rc car and are debating in ur mind if u should of got a sandy land
Hey I’ve recently broken my sandy land differential cup and want to get new metal ones. I’m new to new to ex cars. Is there anything I need to get specifically in the diff cup or whole new differential in general thanks hope to hear back!
If the only part that is broken is the diff cup, then you should be able to replace just that. However, it’d be hard to find a place to buy just the diff cup, plus the diffs are so small that it’d be SUPER annoying to try to fix them. The new diffs are cheap enough that your better off just replacing them.
By the way, I got the metal diffs from here:
banggood.com/Pxtoys-Alloy-Differential-for-9300-or-9301-or-9301-1-or-9302-or-9303-or-9303-1-1-or-18-Rc-Car-Parts-PX9300-07A-p-1438941.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKUB23507&cur_warehouse=CN
CHEESEBURGER RC thanks appreciate the response 👍😁
How or where can i find the bottom part on metal or aluminum? Im new to the hobby and this car is more than good for a beginner 💯😎
There are a lot of metal upgrades for this car, so you probably can! What do you mean by bottom part?
@@CHEESEBURGERRC where all the electronics sit like the main bottom part.😕😕
@@angelacevedo6864 Ah the chassis. I’ve looked, but I haven’t been able to find a metal one. I would guess that if you really wanted to, you could probably jerry rig something with a different chassis, but it’d probably be more work than it’s worth.
@@CHEESEBURGERRC true. Thanks for ur time💯💪
Sure!
What type of battery would you recommend as an easy upgrade?
There are a few options available from the Pxtoys website. They won’t give more speed, but they will run longer.
Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact specs of the stock esc so I don’t know if there are any aftermarket batteries that will give more power on the stock esc. I think you need to upgrade the motor and esc to run a more powerful one.
If you want an easy upgrade that gives speed, I’d recommend swapping the bushings out with bearings! They make the car much faster and smoother.
Where did you get the tires for the tire upgrade on the Sandy land
The ones in this video are the ones for the Latrax Teton. You can get them at most hobby shops, or from the Traxxas website.
What's your next car u plan to get?
At some point, I’d love to get an Xmaxx. The next RC I’ll get will be a boat.
Hello I know I’m vey late but how do you fox the rc car mine doesn’t start for some reason
Happy to help! What do you mean by doesn’t start? Does it not turn on? Does it turn on but not drive? What’s it doing?
I don’t really know a much about rc cars but i bough a new battery with 5200 mAh 7.4 voltage Will it still work
Are you running the stock motor and esc? A 7.4 volt battery should work. That being said, a 5200 mah LiPo is a massive battery, so it’s possible that it won’t fit inside the car. Also, with that much capacity, even a fairly low C rating will give it a lot of power. I’m not sure how much current the stock esc can handle. It certainly should work, but I’d say take it easy at first.
Hey I’ve got the same car and than the wheel are moving a lot and than I don’t know which part of the car I need to change do you think you can help me or this is normal?
Sure! What do you mean by moving? Like wiggling? If so, is the whole hub moving, or just the wheel?
@@CHEESEBURGERRC the whole hug I think.What do you think I need to change ?
I’ll check on mine next time I get a chance but there are some little joints around there that could be loose. I’d start by making sure everything is tight. A little play is normal though. How much is yours moving? Is it enough to make the car drive weird?
@@CHEESEBURGERRC sometime it’s driving weird but most time fine.
It’s most likely normal then. (These cars do sometimes have a mind of their own because of the radio and other things.) If I could see it myself I could say for sure, but I’d say as long as it doesn’t get worse it should be ok.
How’d your channel get so popular so quick
Your guess is as good as mine. ¯\_(ツ)_/
My guess is he hot glued the subscribers.
How does the diffs hold up?
So far so good! I’m running them on 3s, and they’re holding up!
lol i have that same car. that thing is fast.
Is it a little bigger motor u can we can put in em
What do you mean?
@@CHEESEBURGERRC can you buy a bigger motor the e300 that actually fit because I'm trying to purchase another one
@@PushinDeege Yes! You can put pretty much any motor in there as long as it isn’t too big, and there definitely is space for a larger one.
Were else can you find parts
I have a link to them in the description. They can also be found on Banggood, Amazon, or direct from Pxtoys.
Hi, what’s the name of the batteries that you upgraded to?
They’re from a brand called “Zop Power.” I got the 2s ones in a 2 pack, but I couldn’t find the link for that. You can get them individually here:
banggood.com/ZOP-Power-7_4V-1500mAh-40C-2S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-1085890.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU456269&cur_warehouse=CN
The 3s one (which I didn’t use in this video) is from here:
banggood.com/ZOP-Power-11_1V-1500mAh-40C-3S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-1085894.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=SKU456274&cur_warehouse=CN
I hope this helps! Have fun! 😀
@@CHEESEBURGERRC can I use the batteries with the stock motor?
@@jasonvargas2754 The stock motor can run up to 2s, so it should be able to run the 2s Zops. However, the new lipos have a much higher C rating than the stock ones, so they can supply a LOT more power. The motor and esc shouldn’t be able to draw more current than they can handle, but I would be very careful running the new batteries with the stock motor.
Would you convert it to rwd??
If you want me to, I could try, but I feel like it’s so small that it wouldn’t be able to go off road at all with only 2WD.
My sandy land came with a 2s lipo ?
The stock battery is 2s so yes that should be it
What size pinion gear did u use?
I’m not 100% sure. I used the one that comes with the brushless motor.
@@CHEESEBURGERRC gotcha.. yea I have the pxtoys desert journey and I bought the flycolor esc and a different motor its 2340 i think 7200kv and I'm trying to figure out what pinion to run cause I can't get the pinion off the stocks motor
Ah I see. I think you can get pinions from www.pxtoysrc.com, although I’m not entirely sure if they’d work with a non Pxtoys motor.
I’m pretty sure the gear is 48 pitch (it meshes with 48 pitch gears) so you could probably find a gear that’d fit your motor by just searching for that.
I hope this helps! 😀
What's the speed on this motor
4300kv.
Metal diff link
What do you mean?
Oh wait do you want a link to the metal diff? Alright here it is: amzn.to/3nvaEOU
I'm just starting a RUclips channel! I have 17 subs. What would you recommend I do to get 100?
So far, your videos look pretty good! I would recommend maybe a slightly shorter intro and a more stable camera in a few clips. Also make longer videos with more detail, even if it means you have to upload less. but other than that, just keep up what you’re doing. 👍
CHEESEBURGER RC awesome! Thank you so much!
I have sandy land and I'm doing some. Upgrades nothing crazy
Cool upgrades you should buy. Brush less rc car
