FTX Outback V3 | 2021 Suzuki Jimny RC Crawler First Mods

Описание: This is a pretty long video by my standards, but I was enjoying it! This thing is quite fast on 3S and makes a great trail truck.

I've made a few mods to it now. Most obvious are the tyres – I swapped the stock ones (actually pretty soft but quite a shallow tread) for a set of eBay mud slingers I've had for ages but never really used. Turns out they're really good! Very aggressive paddles that dig in well, but soft too, so pretty good on rocks. They're a little smaller than the stock 105mm tyres, but I think they look okay?

I also changed the plastic beadlocks for metal ones, for the low-down weight. I need to get some more bolts for the centres...

Next I chopped up some old SCX10.2 wheelwells and fitted them. I'm quite pleased how they've turned out, and now you can't see straight through. I still need to cover up the rear LEDs though.

I swapped the stock electronics (which are okay) for a Hobbywing 1060 I had spare to see if I could get a bit more throttle control, and planned to gear it down. I've been foiled there so far, though – turns out the gearing is (I'm fairly sure...) 48p [EDIT: it's not, it's 0.5 mod!], and there aren't many small-tooth options out there. Also the little 390 motor has a 2.3mm shaft, and 2.3mm pinions are also thin on the ground (540s and 550s take 3mm).

Oh, and I can't find any 390 motors with high winds, or even really any that tell you the specs at all...

The spur gear's bolt pattern actually matches RC4WDs, but there's just no room between the motor and driveshaft for a much bigger one, and there's no room for a 540 with a 3mm shaft either... I may one day look at transplanting a spare 3-gear box from a 10.2 into it.

I was going to extend the light wires so the body opened fully, but adding a separate receiver and sitting it over the rear axle meant they were long enough anyway. Result. I waterproofed it, too. For obvious reasons...
