Haha thanks! I’ll keep em comin!

@@Bash_TheStampede ok

Yes it is!

@@Bash_TheStampede Very nice

I like it a lot! Need to glue the mirrors though. Almost lost em!

It’s been a while since I did this one so I hope I remember correctly. You’ve gotta remove some screws from the inside that hold the roof rack on. The whole cage thing starts to unsnap and come apart once you get that guy off. After that I just filled the holes, primed then painted it. To fill the large holes, I glued in some styrene rod, sanded, then filled with some putty and sanded again til it was smooth. Smaller holes are just filled with putty. I used Mr Hobby white putty, but there are several options out there. I hope this was helpful!

Thx for that, hopefully it goes well on mines!

Also what do I use when I have no putty?

Hmm, I would suggest getting some because I’m not sure what you’ll be able to sand smooth in there. You can pick up the Tamiya kind online pretty cheap. Hobby lobby has a few types too. Just make sure to primer it well and use a nice clear after paint and you’ll be good!

Like that color. I couldn’t find it at my LHS, so I went flat brick red instead.

That’s an awesome deal! On sale you got a lot more bang for your buck! I just took it out again and I’m really enjoying it. The more time I spend with it the more surprised I am about how nice it is.

Yeah I was REALLY surprised. Totally worth it. Also really great to hear from someone who has had one for a while! Feel free to share anything you want to, I love talking RC 👍🏻

Oh that’s cool! I’d love to see that, what’s it called?

It’s the most peaceful spot on the trail! As long as not too many people are out there lol

I’ve been eyeing those new 24m wheel bases! I like the price on them too! Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting!

Thanks Ashley! Haha I had absolutely no part in it 😄 pure luck

Haha this is the kind of energy I needed for this short!

@@Bash_TheStampede subbing to support our community!! 😎👍

Thank you!

I’ve seen some of the upgrades and stuff that people have done and they look pretty cool! Did you use the Furitek stuff?

Hey thank you! That’s a cool little tidbit about the weight, I didn’t know that. Definitely a possible savings for anyone with the stock servo and motor. I’ve got faith in the motor though. Mine has been running 3s only all the time and is still going strong.

It sure is! I bind my TRX4 transmitter to all my Traxxas stuff. Helps keep the clutter down and since it’s a TQi, I have a little more control over things like end points and what not.

Thank you!

I haven’t found any good way to close up the gear box, I have just let it be and haven’t had any issues yet. I still don’t love the way it’s designed but it hasn’t done anything to validate my concern. I like the servo on axle setup. I don’t think I had any issues with the stock setup but the servo on axle setup works very nicely and puts that servo weight right over the front axle. It IS a little bit of a bear to install without instructions but with a little time and patience I think anyone could get it done. Thanks for watching!

@@Bash_TheStampede I appreciate the info!

Thank you very much for watching and for the positive feedback. Shooting basher videos can be tricky sometimes but I try to get in there lol.

Good to know! I do have a 3S pack to try out but will be sticking with the stock wheels. Hopefully they hold up haha. If not, I guess I have a spare right? Thanks for watching and thank you for the helpful comment!

Yes you’ll at least need a Traxxas receiver to bind the existing transmitter to if you’re going to install a brushless system.

I agree, the TRX4M could use an update and that’s crazy because not too long ago I would have considered it one of the best options after you fix some of the issues it has. I wish they would have made more changes with the TRX4MT as well. It would have been great with open diffs and more power. Hopefully we will see something new soon! For now, with the money you’re willing to spend you should check out some 1/10th scale stuff if you’re into it. The mini guys are fun but 1/10th performance is a whole different ball game!

What do you mean by the bang-bang stuff?

@@Bash_TheStampede Non-Proportional. Toy grade.

Ah yeah it definitely is a step up from something like that! Thanks for clarifying!

I hate to say it but I feel the exact same way about my mini E-Revo. It’s still sitting here on the bottom shelf haha. I think the best I can do with it is find somewhere else to install the VXL system. But yeah I honestly do think that this Hyper Go is better than the mini Revo. I have already ran it like twice as much with no issues!

Welcome and thank you! Same here with wanting a clod forever. I hope you enjoy building and running your new truck. I’ve been enjoying mine a lot and may start doing some upgrading here soon.

I’ve been happy with 20 in there so far! The wobble and bounce is gone and the shocks are still reactive enough for fast sections of the trail. Thanks for watching! I’m glad you found the video helpful!

@@Bash_TheStampede I just buy 350 but if I’m quick maybe I can change, what you think I try this or I change???

That may be a little thick. Try to change but if you can’t, lmk how it handled with the heavier oil!

@@Bash_TheStampede Thank’s!!! 🤜🤛😎

Yeah, definitely! Just take the shock cap off and fill it up. The shock cap is the part on top that the screw goes through. On most shocks you’ll take the spring off, then unscrew the shock cap and fill it up almost all the way with oil. After it’s full you can move the shock shaft up and down slowly to help get the air bubbles out. Finally, with the shock shaft pressed all the way in, you screw the shock cap back on. After the cap is back on you can check for any resistance when you move the shock shaft. If there is any, just compress the shock and loosen the cap until the shock compresses all the way, then check resistance again. Eventually you’ll bleed all the air and excess oil out and have a nice working shock! Sorry if this was confusing! I should really do a general shock rebuilding video. I do rebuild shocks in a video I made called TRX4M Maintenance Part 1. It’s a mini shock but the process is the same. Maybe check that out if you get confused! I hope this was helpful!

@@Bash_TheStampede thanks for the detailed solution. I do remember seeing a video of someone running through this process! Cheers!

Any time!

@@Bash_TheStampedeyour explanation was spot on. Helped me. Thanks

Of course! Im glad I was able to help.

Thank you! Nice! I was impatient and got the set that would show up next day haha. I hope you like them as I much as I do!

The stock motor? You could try one of the Injora motors for the TRX4M. They’re under 20 bucks and will give it a nice power bump.

@@Bash_TheStampede yeah but i cant afford that

If you’ve got the stock bushings in there you could consider lubing them up. Idk how much it will help but mine had a lot of binding when it was stock because of them. They might be holding your motor back a little bit. Maybe worth a try if you’re looking to maximize the stock motors power for free.

Thank you!

Thanks you!

More stuff came out!? I’ll have to look haha I’m a sucker for new upgrades. They really are well made parts! Thank you for watching! Also I still love Redkitten. I may start using it. Comes out easier than “Redcat Ascent 18”

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Of course! And thank you for the sub!

Thank you! I didn’t like it at first but it’s definitely grown on me lol.

Yeah that could be a thing! Maybe even have some of them functional somehow. I think some rock crawling comps actually give points for scale stuff.

Thanks! Realism really makes trail trucks a lot cooler so integrating that would be awesome.

The Bronco?

Thank you for the constructive feedback! I was curious how the more casual tone would be received! I also appreciate the sub!

Furitek Micro Komodo on 3S with the stock gear ratio. It could technically be faster if I went with speed gears.

Any breakage?

No breakage on this rig but everything is upgraded steel gears, driveshafts etc... You might break some of the stock pieces with this type of setup.

I totally agree, I was actually pretty blown away by how well the little Jimny handled the outdoor trail! I think as long as the environment is fitting for the size of the Kyosho It'll exceed expectations. I think another thing to factor in is that Kyosho didn't build a rock crawler here, especially with the Jimny. Its an awesome scale representation of the real thing and that's kind of the point of it more than everything else imo. I hope that I didn't give the impression that I was expecting hardcore rock crawling performance haha I just wanted to show what NOT to expect it to do. Also, side note: I'm pretty into Mini-Z class racing and I watch your channel all the time! Just box stock and super stock for now, but I've watched a lot of your reviews because I'd like to get into the open class at my club.

@@Bash_TheStampede yeah, I wasn’t suggesting you were giving the wrong impression, I was kinda agreeing and just reiterating for people that size is the biggest performance factor. I love mini z racing. Just keep at it and keep growing your local scene. Open/mod is a totally different beast. lol.

From what I’ve seen mod/open look pretty wild! It’ll be fun though. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

They have their own lines in scale etc, great point.

Thank you!

They really are a lot of fun when you get them in the right environment. I could see a Mini-Z specific course being a ton of fun and easy to stash when you’re done! Thanks for watching and thank you for your comment! I must have missed that 99 dollar HH special. What a deal!

​@@Bash_TheStampede You’re right, and I technically bought it through Tower Hobbies. Tower and Amain are where I typically purchase HH products from, and both advertised the Kyosho (& Redcat) sale. You could’ve bought them through Horizon for the sale price, but they didn’t advertise the sale and you had to do a direct search to even find them.

Sounds like fun right? Thanks for watching and thanks for your thoughts!

You could look at a Mini-Z. That’s the best hobby grade car of this size by far. ARRMA has the Grom and Grom Typhon which look pretty cool. They’re smaller and RTR. If you’re open to crawlers the Redcat Ascent is literally one of my favorite little rigs right now and it’s under 150 bucks. It depends on your budget but there are a lot of options. If you go for a mini z don’t do the “first” series. Those are basically toys.

Alright i will definitely look into mini z. I got the the truck for free years ago but i feel like im more pulled to the drift rc cars. I will probably only know when im hands on though! Anyhow thanks for the advice and the great review!

Mini Z drifting is kind of a thing I think. Maybe google that and see if something comes up that you’re interested in.

@@Bash_TheStampede i looked it up and im definitely very interested in the mini-z. The price is high though and imo too high for me to comfortably buy a mini-z as first rc car. I've found a comparable rc car to mini-z online that is 1/4th the price and from reviews it looks really good as a starter kit. The car in question is from WLtoys. Everything is also upgradable to aluminium and carbon. Decided to sell my nitro truck and get the wltoys k969 or 989. Ill put the rest aside for either upgrades or if its not good enough but i do like it then i will go for mini-z. Thanks again for the advice! I'll try to remember to come back to this comment when ive got it in and found out if this is for me!

Sounds good! I believe a lot of people like that model from WL Toys

There you go! Yeah the bronco would be a better starting point for performance for sure, but now that my Defender is all modded up I’m happy as can be. I’m glad you wound up making a great rock crawler out of it!

Thats good to know. I haven’t participated in any comps yet (but I hope to) so I didn’t even think about building with a weight limit in mind! Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing!

That is the kind of energy I’m here for! I’ll keep em comin!

That would be a lot of fun! They already have a mini E Revo so they’ve got the right idea going on!

What a great deal! I guess the EVX2 has lipo cut off built in? I’m using a lipo alarm on mine since I have the regular EVX.

@@Bash_TheStampede yes the evx2 has the lipo cutoff, don't want to risk having my kid playing with it while no safety on the lipos. And I got the EVX2 with a 775 summit motor for 60 bucks Canadian also brand new 😂 lucked out with that one. Was running the DeWalt motor on the summit but that engine sucks power like nothing my 7300mah lipos only last like 15 mins with the DeWalt motor was crazy lol

Dang yeah that’s a battery drainer for sure! I never had anything with the 775 motor. Is it pretty cool? I’d imagine it has gobs of torque.

Like the steering trim? They are little. You definitely have to pick lines where they won’t get high centered.

I was referring to the phone mount 😁

Haha oops! I actually don’t know where this phone mount is today. It was a little wonky at times though.
