What are the key points of large RC car jumping?
So, when it comes to doing some serious jumps with an RC car, if your model weighs over 15 kg, you might run into a bit of trouble capturing the action on video.
To really get the best out of jumps and stunts, it’s recommended to opt for a beast like the X-MAXX monster truck.
If you’re eyeing another model that’s quite similar and up for the competition, the Losi Desert Buggy in the 1/5 scale is worth considering.
Stay tuned for an upcoming detailed review and a head-to-head comparison with the Losi Desert Buggy model.
Vehicle design features of smithmaster sCR pro
Let’s talk about the vehicle design here! It has a tough body design that’s common for short-course trucks, giving it a cool look.
Even though it’s not an official model, the durability and roll cage design really make it unique.
The paint job might not be the best, but it’s not a deal-breaker.
These wheels are great for off-road driving, and you can go up to 80km/h safely, thanks to the off-road tire design.
Plus, the beadlock wheels are similar to the Losi Desert Buggy, showing how it competes well with big brands abroad.
Comparison of Korean RC cars
When it comes to RC cars, this Korean model is right up there with big-name brands like Losi, Traxxas, and Arrma, even though some say they’re not quite at the same quality level.
This particular RC car stands out for its top-notch quality, especially because it uses pricey, top-of-the-line electronic components not typically found in its price range.
Expect to possibly swap out some parts due to issues like overheating and the added weight that comes with tuning.
For those looking to take it a step further, there’s an optional MAX5 combo available for 570,000 won.
What are the features of this RTR vehicle?
So, here’s the deal with this RTR vehicle – it doesn’t have a remote controller or receiver included, but don’t worry because it makes up for it with top-notch electronic parts.
That servo motor for steering is something special, outperforming what the competitors have to offer.
Plus, when you look at it compared to other models, it already comes packed with premium components, saving you from having to do any additional upgrades.
But hey, just remember, having top-notch electronic parts doesn’t automatically mean the whole vehicle will perform like a champion.
How does the smithmaster SCR Pro operate?
So, let’s break down how this vehicle works! First off, this vehicle is designed to keep things simple by not having transmission parts, making it similar to 1/8 products.
Instead of using reduction gears, it uses large spur gears to ramp up the power.
To prevent heating problems, there’s a clever solution in place – a low-KV, high-performance motor.
Even after considerable video shooting activities that drain the battery, the vehicle managed to stay cool.
Interestingly, even if you have a larger vehicle, you might not need reduction gears with this electronic system.
How cool is that?
What is being examined?
So, let’s take a closer look at what’s going on with these vehicle differential parts.
They’re currently under examination, with a specific focus on the front area of the vehicle.
It’s worth noting that these gears are really standing out in terms of durability, matching up well with some of the big-name brands out there.
Even though there were some initial worries stemming from past experiences, the quality of this product is now turning heads.
When stacked up against other Korean products, these differential parts really shine with their robust build.
What are the advantages of metal parts?
So, let’s talk about metal parts in vehicles, like the drive shaft and links.
The PRO model comes with all metal parts and has the option to upgrade, similar to the MAX model.
The variety of optional parts available is a plus since it allows for customization.
It’s recommended to only switch to metal parts if necessary depending on how you usually drive.
With these metal parts, the vehicle can easily manage natural jumps and navigate small hills in a safe manner.
