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

Optimizing and Maintenance: How’s the Equipment Maintenance Going?
So, everything’s cruising along nicely over here! The oil is holding steady after five packs, which is great news. I’m planning to give the bearings a good lubrication with 150,000 in the center, so that should break down to 100,000, 150, and 50 at the back—sounds like a solid plan, right? The equipment seems to be aging like fine wine, and I even stumbled upon a used DIF that looks around a 60D or maybe a bit less; that could really help if anything goes south. Oh, and we need to tweak the spacing a bit, but we should definitely think about stepping up to a metal DIF for future upgrades..
How to Keep Your Machine Running Smoothly?
When it comes to machine maintenance, the idea isn’t to tweak the original setup but rather preserve it as is. You’ve got a central DIF on standby just in case anything goes sideways, which is always nice to have! Now, about those gears—there’s a pretty noticeable difference in teeth counts; we’re talking 58 teeth versus 60 teeth due to their sizes. If you ever need to, you might be able to fit a crown on top—just swap out the DIF body and pop on that crown for a little upgrade. Plus, adjusting the pinion size to fit the crown should sort things out. By the way, I’ve wrapped up the maintenance and cleaning, and I’ve got a backup DIF, whether it’s for the Osif or the SR Pro, so all’s good!.
How’s the maintenance on their vehicle going?
So, the speaker is feeling pretty satisfied with their ride overall, even though there’s a bit of wear on the drive shaft. They’ve thought about selling it down the line, but for now, they’re happy to hold onto it, especially since they’ve got a stash of spare parts ready to go. To keep things safe, they’ve added some rubber components to reduce friction around the battery compartment. Everything mechanical is still running smoothly, including the rear differential, and they’ve even tweaked the rear dampers a bit for better performance..
How Did Suspension Adjustments Impact Performance?
So, I’ve been tweaking the suspension settings and there are three different positions to play with. I decided to lower it as much as possible by loosening the drop screws a bit for better height. This adjustment really enhances the cushioning effect, letting the shock absorbers fully extend without bumping into anything. However, I’ve noticed that while the cardans don’t actually touch the housing, they get pretty close, which makes me a bit uneasy—especially with big impacts. The front shock absorbers seem to be at risk of bottoming out since the cardans are nearly grazing the housing on both sides. I haven’t pushed it to the limit with jumps yet, but I’ve got some plans to take this setup to Bao and Aspiran, where I can really test the limits with more speed and longer jumps. I’ve got spare parts on deck, so stay tuned for updates on how the performance goes!.
