    It's new RC day!

    Hmm, interesting, you can't just pair any old 2.4g receiver to the Noble? Figures, all these high end, near flagship, or flagship, radios have all this proprietary gear. As I said, I run the DumboRC X6 in my 144001, the range on that thing is just stupid, over 1500"! In fact, I haven't even been...

    Oh, ok! The 144001, stock is still lots of fun, BL is just the next step! The motor is oversized and geared high for getting those high top speeds Wltoys advertises, if you don't run in grass often, do long, extended runs with no cooling breaks, or really push it, the ESC and motor should be...

    It's new RC day!

    Oh wow, we're just talking each other's language, 144001's and 16889's! 🤣🤣 Are any of your 144001s brushless converted? Mine is, even with the smaller 2440 4600kV motor, the thing rips! It does a hair under 40mph, so slightly faster than stock (<5mph), even with that smaller motor can size, and...

    It's new RC day!

    Nice! That reminds me, I still need to work on my medium-term review of this thing! I've added a few homemade upgrades to it, as usual! You said you got the 16889 brushless, not the 16889A Pro? That would mean yours comes with friction shocks, and not oil-filled ones. If you find it doesn't...

    It's new RC day!

    Whoopsie! 😵‍💫😵‍💫 Better than it empty, am I right? *Knock Knock* No problem, and remember to check out quadifyrc.com, there's a reason why I recommend his blog all over the forum! Don't get me wrong, if you get the stock brushed HBX 16889, you can upgrade to brushless, get oil filled shocks...

    It's new RC day!

    Well, no! I love my 144001, I've spent many hours tuning it, adjusting it, cleaning it, upgrading it, and it runs pretty dang well IMO! The 144001 offers outstanding value, pretty much nothing comes close to it. Check out the 144002, it's just a 144001, but with MT style wheels and body shell...

    It's new RC day!

    Agreed! I'm one of those people who believes that you don't have to spend a ton of $$ for a lot of fun! And now that I've found and experienced brushless power (with my brushless converted 144001), *cough* you know what may be coming for the SG 1601 down the pipe line, so to speak...

    It's new RC day!

    Here is the second battery tray mod, as well as the radio for the SG compared to the DumboRC for my 144001. So as you'll see in the last pic, there is a little button above the grip, behind the throttle. If you look closely, you can see it says "AUX" next to the button, indicating that it...

    It's new RC day!

    Thanks! I know it isn't an X Maxx or anything like that, but it's still lots of fun! Thanks man! I assume you mean my 144001 (SG only has a few metal parts, it takes the Xmaxx approach, strength through flexible plastic)? The alu parts you see are actually stock, full metal shocks, metal...

    It's new RC day!

    Isn't new RC day so exciting? First though, before I get into the details, pics, and other stuff, I do need to clarify something. It WAS new RC day on Sunday, TBH I just didn't have time until now to sit down and make this post! Ok, so any guesses on what I got (actually one of my relatives...
