Amewi RC Hyper Go Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 brushless 4WD blue 1/10 ARTR

Product detailed description

The 1:10 scale remote-controlled Hyper Go Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 combines a true-to-life appearance with high-performance technology and is aimed at ambitious drivers aged 14 and over. The licensed body of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 features numerous authentic details and has a practical magnetic fastening. This eliminates the need to fiddle with conventional body clips, allowing the body to be removed quickly and easily. Integrated, switchable LED headlights and rear lights at the front and rear ensure a realistic appearance. Thanks to the contact strips between the body and the chassis, no unsightly cables to the receiver are required.

As an ARTR (Almost-Ready-to-Run) version, the model comes complete with a remote control. The powerful 4WD all-wheel drive system with CVD drive shafts ensures efficient power transfer to all four wheels and provides high traction on a wide variety of surfaces. The brushless sensor system enables particularly responsive power delivery and precise control, whilst the app-based 80A sensor brushless speed controller can be conveniently adjusted via Bluetooth using a smartphone. The model is designed for use with 2S or 3S LiPo batteries ranging from 7.4 to 11.1 volts, offering plenty of scope for different performance requirements.

The robust metal chassis and high-quality metal drive components form the basis for high durability and a long service life. The sturdy construction is complemented by shock mounts and a chassis strut made from high-strength 7075 aluminium. Ball-bearing drive components reduce friction and contribute to smooth, long-lasting running. All plastic parts are made from durable composite plastic, further enhancing the model’s robustness. A mudguard reliably protects the chassis from dirt whilst driving.

For precise and customisable handling, the model features a fully adjustable suspension system, allowing toe and camber to be adjusted. Adjustable aluminium oil-filled shock absorbers improve damping and ensure safe handling on various surfaces. A manually adjustable gyro for the steering ensures stable straight-line tracking and makes it easier to control the vehicle, particularly at higher speeds. The remote control also allows you to adjust the throttle and steering travel via dual-rate settings, as well as to use the reverse function.

The package includes two sets of interchangeable tyres for road and off-road use. This allows the Hyper Go Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 to be flexibly adapted to different applications and offers impressive handling characteristics on both tarmac and loose surfaces.

Run-in of the new electric motor
New model with engine, needs to be run in first. Before starting to use the DC electric motor, it is definitely recommended to run it. Some manufacturers require it as a condition for recognizing a possible engine claim. The purpose of the run-in is to seat the rotating parts well, smooth the friction surfaces of the contacts, and grind the carbons into the correct shape. The current enters the motor on the commutator surfaces using the so-called carbons, which may not have a perfectly adapted shape from production. If the new motor is loaded to the maximum without a previous run-in, the commutator surface or the carbons may be damaged due to large "sparking". The run-in will allow the carbons to settle on the commutator as perfectly as possible. Thus, the carbons will wear out less and last longer.

Electric motor run-in procedure:
-If you have a new RC model car or boat in which the engine is already mounted, proceed as follows. Place the model on the mat so that the wheels rotate above the surface. Let the engine run at the lowest possible speed for at least 20-30 minutes. You can then drive the model for 20-30 minutes at a lower speed and gradually increase the speed. Drive the model at full power only after the run-in phase has passed.

-If you have a new engine that has not yet been installed in the model, you can do the run-in in the traditional, proven way by immersing it in water. Connect the motor to the ESC controller and lower it by the cables vertically down into a container of clean water. Start the engine at low speed and let it run for 10-15 minutes. Then you can gradually increase the speed for a few minutes up to the maximum. finally, take the motor out of the water and let it run for a while to blow the water out of the motor. You can mount a run-in engine in the model and you can immediately drive at full power. You don't have to worry about the engine submerged in water. It will work normally and the water will cool it during the run-in. In addition, it washes out carbon particles during grinding (the water visibly darkens).

Protection against overheating of the electric motor:
Since the stator is made up of permanent magnets, it is good to know that these magnets gradually lose their "power". However, temperature also has a big impact. Each electric motor heats up during operation and can reach a temperature of 60°C (therefore, the motor must never be touched with bare hands after driving!). However, if the engine is not cooled or cooled insufficiently, or if it is driven for a long time at maximum speed, it may overheat and thus weaken the magnets. Even after cooling down, the engine will no longer reach its previous performance. Of course, other parts of the engine can also be damaged by high heat. It is therefore advisable to change the load mode, or to drive with two smaller accumulators with a break for replacement and cooling, rather than with one large-capacity one for a long time at full power.

Electric motor replacement, tuning:
If you decide to replace the electric motor in this model, pay attention to the following recommendations.
The new motor should be of the same type (size), have the same number of turns and the same supply voltage value as the original one. That way, you will be sure that the model will retain its original driving characteristics.
If you are planning a tuning motor, first of all, check whether the original ESC controller in the model will be able to work with the tuning motor, in order not to burn the ESC controller, or to prevent the ESC-motor system from working. When tuning a motor, it is usually necessary to replace a pinion with a different number of teeth.

WARNING! This RC car is not a toy, but a more sophisticated, functional model that behaves very much like a real car. Due to its realistic parameters, if it is not properly assembled and operated, it can cause you injury, or injure the viewer, or damage property. The model is intended for driving in a large room or outside on a dry surface. Driving in water, in snow, in puddles, mud, sand, in tall grass without appropriate waterproof treatment can cause damage to the electronics of the model. Driving on public roads and other places (e.g. parking lots) with car traffic is prohibited. Do not drive in thick grass, you will overheat or burn the engine!
This model requires regular maintenance, by disassembling it correctly according to the service manual, you will not lose the warranty.
