SCR Pro Upgrade Insights interview_2ND improving performance

We are Smithmaster Co., Ltd., a company that has developed and is currently exporting the RC car “Smithmaster” to countries such as the United States, Canada, and France. 

Today, we would like to introduce a video review by a YouTuber named “Mattew SR” about 12s runaround continues from previous posting

improving performance,How Well Did the Car Components Hold Up?

Let’s talk about the car’s chassis first—it’s actually held up pretty well with just a few minor scratches, which isn’t a big deal. When you take off the bumper, it opens up the space for some cleaning, plus you get nearly direct access to the differential, which is super handy. Now, the front area is mostly disassembled, but getting in there is a bit tricky because of the support brackets. Interestingly, the cardan pins are showing some significant wear, suggesting they’ve really been put to the test, especially when it comes to braking.. 

What affects drive system performance?

So, let’s talk drive systems! The combination of components can really mess with performance, especially when it’s not as precise or high-quality as an obywing with a sensor. This leads to some serious issues, like the accumulated braking forces damaging both sides. The problem mostly pops up in the front of the cardan, which turns a specific way when you’re moving forward, thanks to the rear driving it. When you hit the brakes, it creates a jolt at the front, which isn’t ideal. The good news? These parts are super easy to swap out since they use 2.5 or 2 mm screws. I just need to double-check my inventory because I think I might have some spare parts lying around.. 

What should I know about vehicle modifications?

So, it turns out that the components have taken quite a beating, and it’s time to swap out those cardan pins. I’ve got a good feeling that tossing in an ob wing could really boost the performance. Plus, I’m planning to switch to those lighter Losi wheels in the next runs, which will shave off about 600 grams. This should give us a clearer picture of how durable our setup is going forward. When it comes to adjustments, we can tweak the stiffness of the entire bar without messing with the roll just yet. I plan to tighten it up a bit and see how that plays out, and I’ll also take apart the differential housing together with it. It’s not too tricky; the front axle is just held in by a couple of screws on each side, but watch out – it doesn’t have extra support at the back, so it can get dinged up easily.. 

What are the key features of the DIF components?

Let’s chat about the DIF components! First off, the screws are pretty robust, so you’ll want to handle them with care. The front of the DIF is quite rigid, which is interesting. What’s cool is that there’s a DIF cage that’s right at the front, unlike other models I’ve seen where the cage is above and the DIF is tucked inside. If you want to peek inside, make sure to remove that cage first..
