My 2012 project, Recondition a broken RC Big Foot scale 1/12. It free found in a junk shop with
1. Broken wheel hub
2. Broken linkage
3. No body
4. Missing one tyre
5. Rusty all screw.
6. Circuit board still function
7. Rear wheel drive.
Maykasing Made in China.
2 years back i buy this units from Internet for rm120, after testing i don't like it because all 4 tyre is a hard plastic i sole it. But know i got it free in bad Condition will rework back.
The New Modification i done for this big Foot is, i can use 2 type battery Nimh 7.2V 1800mAh or the original 9.6V 900 mAh Nicd. Using 7.2V battery i add additional wire out from the Circuit board.and the battery i put on top of the Circuit casing.
The disadvantage is this battery is heavy, the big foot a litter bit slow but running time is longer. If use original 9.6V battery it run fast but running time short (Warning DO NOT PUT BOTH BATTERY TOGETHER,THE HIGH CURRENT 16.8V WILL BURN THE CIRCUIT BOARD)
On 31/8/2020 just searching for data in net found out this China made Maykasing is a copy cat of Tamiya QD Trail Master 1/14 46020 2002. The chassis almost same but quality wise Tamiya is better and china brand is 1/12 scale..

You replaced the battery with 7.2v
Did it have the same voltage initially?
The battery bay looks suitable qonly for 4 batteries AA

Two Choise 9.6V (fast), shorten running time or 7.6V Litter (bit slow), longer running time.
