    Thanks for trying out the old remote, these new controllers are not that great. You gave me an idea to try the old controller on the 20208/C8811 and see if it makes any difference to the lag problem. Also, are 12mm hexes metal?
    Great video!!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  6 дней назад

      You’re welcome! I checked and it works on the c8811 but I didn’t test it enough to see if there was no lag. My lag was off and on weirdly enough anyway. Let me know how it does! Yes the hexes are metal!! 😃

    Hmmmm... I'm pretty sure I've seen others using the app on both ESC versions... Of course I could be mistaken.
    It's definitely an odd one this isn't it..!?.. Is it a rock crawler, a trail truck, a rock racer, all of the above or something entirely different.?
    I've seen them on AliExpress for around £120 which isn't a bad price for what it is.!
    At that price you don't mind putting a bit more into it to make it into something better.

    • @DerbyCityRC

      There’s only two size granites. The regular and the grim. The grom is tiny. Then there might be three versions of the full size one. A 2wd brushed, a 4wd brushed, and a 4wd brushless called the BLX. I’d definitely go with the BLX. Though they’re likely about to release a new 4wd brushless version that comes with a center differential called the 223s BLX lol. Might be good to wait for that one.
