Quick review of the Fun-Tech-Lab Runsible 1:64 dyno
Just arrived five minutes ago unpackaging video later this evening.
First impressions

Sorry for the delay but my iPad had / has a space problem - its a long video so hopefully its processed at YT
- Subscribed — GspeedR
- interesting — dr_dodge
- Hey there, Dr. Dodge I saw on your YouTube comment you asked if these were page motors - I’m not familiar with those — AbbyNormal
- In theory, if all things were equal and blah blah motors remained the same in temperature and brush wear remained constant: Sorry, in theory you could hook up an multimeter/ammeter and be able to see that faster cars would require less amperage than slower cars. Or as a car broke in over time the amp draw would also reduce. — X2Whiskey
this is a pager motor. used in micro charge it up rcs
you can remove the counterweight, (they sell them w/o vibra weight)
4mm x 17mm, pretty small, short duty cycle
and does the drive band drag on the bottom of the casting causing the chatter on the dyno?
dr
- Not sure where the chatter is coming from but its not the drive belt as they appear to be well recessed. — AbbyNormal
- Thanks for the info guys. — CutRock_R_Marc_D
How long did it take to arrive after you purchased it?
- Mine took about 10 days from when it was shipped. FunTechLab provides reliable tracking. — GspeedR
- ok thanks, I think mine has been lost then, it's been much longer than that!! — Road_Runner_Rumble
- Mine came in pretty quick, within 5 days — JerryTonya1995
Thanks Abby for the info, update.
Not sure it initially meets your engineering requirements! Understandable!
There certainly needs to be more to it, or otherwise, nice toy!
Cheers,
I finally got mine earlier this week, after ordering it on 3rd June!
Well, after all this time I have found this thing to be marginally useful. The speed has zero adjustability the potentiometer is little more than an on/off switch... the wheels seldom engage properly on the front and rear simultaneously and the rollers are frequently slipping on the belts.
I am not impressed. I will be trying to play with it a bit more but after a few months, I'd say if you haven't bought one don't waste your money...

- Fully agree — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- I agree totally, only time I use it is if I’m batch lubing a bunch of cars I’ll do a brief run-in on each car. — AbbyNormal
- I get some slipping back and forth, too. You might be able to tighten down the screws on the bottom to prevent this, or as a last resort, put something between the rollers to keep them from inching together. — SpyDude
I use it to run in the wheel/axles after each treatment, 15 minutes each direction. This pic is at the end of one run, with no significant heat buildup in wheels or axles.
EXCITING! Hopefully mine shows up next week.
