STOP using stock HB R1607 Electronics! 🔧 DIY Custom Metal Upgrades

Welcome back! In today's video, we are taking the HB R1607 to the workbench for a serious electronics overhaul. I test several ESC and receiver options, including the MN82 stock board, MN168 electronics, and the Hobbywing 1060 to see which provides the best modulation and low-speed control.
We also dive into some custom fabrication! I created custom zinc-plated steel shock mounts to improve the suspension geometry and installed new oil-filled shocks to eliminate that "toy-grade" bounciness.

In this video:
Electronics comparison (MN82 vs. MN168 vs. Hobbywing 1060).
Switching to a 3-wire steering servo for better precision.
DIY Zinc-plated steel shock mount templates.
How to properly oil-fill RC shocks for controlled dampening.
Full indoor rock crawling test to check the new modulation.
The modulation definitely improved, making it a much more capable crawler. Is it worth the hassle? Watch to find out!
