Fun and fails

This 1:12 scale desert buggy comes from Banggood and is very cheap. But is it any good? Let’s find out! The build includes my open source DIY „Micro RC“ remote control system.

Parts list:
Buggy kit build version: https://www.banggood.com/Feiyue-FY-03... (also available as Amewi Eagle 3)
Servo: https://www.banggood.com/Feiyue-Upgra...
Brushless motor (4500kV version) and ESC: https://www.banggood.com/Racerstar-28...
ESC programming card: https://www.banggood.com/Racerstar-LE...
Metal drive shafts: https://www.banggood.com/Feiyue-FY-01...
2.4GHz remote: https://github.com/TheDIYGuy999

Conclusion:
Overall, it’s a great car
The stock plastic drive shafts are not able to handle the torque of the brushless motor!
There are lots of issues like a locked front differential, a wobbly clutch etc.
The Arduino remote works just great. No issues at all!

Do I recommend to buy this car? Yes, BUT: only for people with some skills in mechanics!
