Proboat Blackjack 29 v3: 4s vs 6s lipo
มุมมอง 2.2K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Proboat Blackjack 29 v3 I'm new to boats, this is only my second day running the BJ29. The first run was running 2x2s 6000mah 35c Zippy's whilst the second was running 2x3s 5800mah 60c Zippy's. The boat itself is running completely stock - stock electrics and stock prop. The only thing I adjusted was the LVC. I'm hoping this video will give a good comparison between running 4s & 6s speed wise. ...
Hi great video, I just had one delivered today also an eBay finds , its been in a garage for ten or more years unused , it's very dirty but after unsticking the engine it turns over nice with the pull start , no body shell but I have a few to try out until I find the correct one and no radio gear but I have spares to use on the truggy , right now I have sprayed it with wd40 and i will let that soak over night and tomorrow see if I can get the engine to run and see if the two servos work , the wheels and tires look good with no cracking to the rubber just need a clean and regluing, so up to now I pleased with my £40 including the postage eBay find , how did you get on with your own truggy did you find any problems mate 🇬🇧
no filter you are going to break the pistons
piston(s)? lol
Is this better than a b7 or a mugen msb1?
I subbed ❤
Just bought one 3 days ago new in box 525 us
Great video started perfect
Hi, sorry to jump on a little late. What sort of runtime did you get from the 7700mah battery?
Recently picked one up also, However, the motor is cooked in it, and it seems here, Nitro is all but a thing of the past, it's hard to get the fuel, much less a sleeve and piston for it! I'm really concerned about making parts and converting it over to electric, which I know makes no sense as there are much better platforms nowadays for electric trucks.
Ciao!!! Vorrei comprare questa auto… come ti trovi a distanza di mesi? Mi hanno detto che si rompe facilmente è vero?
Nice. I have an old RS4 2 that has been in the box in my basement for roughly 20 years that I am going to bring back to life. Been acquiring parts/hop-ups and will be videoing the process in the near future.
Hi James, just found your channel, nice content! Curious what persuaded the decision to go HB for 2WD versus a more common buggy? I'll confess I am a bit curious about the vehicle, but the fact here in the States is runs almost double the cost compared to other 2WD buggies is a big off putting. Lastly, that is one heck of a facility you have there, not a back place to call home is it? Take care!
Neden türkçe konuşmuyorsun
Why don't you speak English???😂
The adjustment screw is a little a skew so I can’t get a 2 mil driver in there. I’ll have to take it apart. RC Brooks is a huge Savage guy and he has a detailed fix on his TH-cam channel
Hopefully it shifts gear for you. I got a brand new previous gen 4.6 X that was sitting in HRP’s warehouse. Yep, emailed them everyday for almost two weeks and they finally emailed me back asking me to stop contacting them. So funny, they said they’d make one available online. It was $499 and on HRP’s website they offer a $30 coupon for purchases over $250. They ship directly from Utah so there’s no sales and shipping was also free. So yes, brand new 4.6X that was last generation, but again was brand new just sitting in a warehouse for years. $470 and that bad boy was all mine. It’s stuck in second so no wheelies. I’ll have to get into the transmission one day and sort it all out. Good luck
I’ve just picked up one of these with the m3 body. Zero use on it at all it was a shelf queen. Got all original equipment still in the original packaging unopened only thing I don’t have is the original box can’t wait to run it although gonna put a chassis protector on it first
ive had this for 10 years, brand new never could get it running right
Nice one James, nice to see someone else doing what I do. eBay is great fun for Nitro gambles 😆👌🏻
Your missing duel shocks to
Depending on the year of the model, some savage x's came with single shocks on each corner but had heavy duty dual rate springs instead!❤
Is the fuel too rich?
I got one of these , bought from brand new ran once has a friend ran over it with his nitro monster truck causing it full throttle into a kerb, I did a major expensive rebuild and a different engine from the hpi rush , but unfortunately it never ran so I borrowed the radio crystal and a steering servo for my hyboa which I don't have now, so my Mt2 is sat in its original box collecting dust , unfortunately
I have the same one I bought it probably 20 something years ago brand new. I'm pretty sure I put a 2 speed transmission in it and bought the best engine hpi had to offer in it at the time. Unfortunately it sits in a plastic bin in my basement so I don't break it lol. So cool to see someone else that actually has one still in good condition!
Useful video, thanks. I've been trying to get mine to run reliably, but I'm not having much luck. It just about starts (via rotostart) but won't run for more than a few seconds. Like yours mine is covered in fuel so I suspect I've got a leak somewhere.
Thanks for the comment! If there’s a way for fuel to leak out then there’s also a way for air to get in which ruins the tune. Once you fix the leak it’ll run much better. Also check your idle gap - you want about 1-1.5mm. Any less and it’ll struggle to keep running👍🏻
Mines got the roto start... which do you think is better
They both have their pro’s and cons - the roto start you have to remember to charge the battery and bring it with you. But the pull starts can break leaving you stranded if you don’t have a spare. I also get blisters on my fingers!😂
I've just bought one of these off ebay because I never got one when I was a kid.... I know nothing about it 😂
That’s the exact reason why I bought this one!😂
I've got one these but the mt2 18ss version they share most parts with the rs4 if you ever need parts for the.
Having fun. That is pretty clean and there fast enough for a single speed but i believe the rs4 two speed fits straight on these and the G3.0 engine bolts straight to the chassis for some extra mph
The plan is to ultimately drop a G3.0 in (I believe the later MT2’s shipped with them fitted?!). But now you mention the RS4 2 speed…..that’s an epic idea! Thanks!
eBay the best #1
Pinch exhaust line, and flip the lid on tank to prime
Hi bud.great car .the best engine for it is the T.30 I have .and also I have a spare T.30.
Hi you still got that spare motor
You still got that spare motor
are you selling this nitro???
Did yours come with a steel spur gear?
Excellent deal mate! Mine was awesome too, paid$260 us and wasn't even broken in. Had a 3 speed trans and alot of upgrades. Have fun!
Monsta' Kore! subscribed. Keep up kool kontent!
I still have my viper lol it came with the 15fe motor i was wondering whats the biggest motor you can fit in it? I want to swap the motor out and make it faster i already have the 2 speed installed
i bought the same but with bmw body , very good car
The savage was never released in the late 90s the tmaxx was released in 1999 though. The savage 21 came out in 2002 and the savage 25 was released in 2005 I think and I forgot when the savage x was released
I bought my ss25 savage new in summer of 2003.😂❤
nice
hi good video , have pics of ths poster ? 🙂 this chassis is strongly copied by HSP ,SEBEN RACING ,Himoto ... it's very good chassis , it is easy to drive and easy to maintain, plenty of parts available
Aww waw great Nitro this is what I raced back in 2008 I had a cool BMW m3 bidy in black for mine yeah! Nothing ever went wrong with just remember to empty the tank when your finished and having it sitting a couple of days the fuel clogged in the lines on it but just let it idea out of fuel get the air filter for it they definitely need it mine ran alot better with one there not for show on these HPI RS4 evos mine used to stall like heck without it or if the top got clogged with crap! They go through plugs like mad so grab alot! This remedied with the air filter the engine wasn't heating up as much to kill the coils! What mixture nitro you using in it? Was just but rich n idea could do with being turned down another slight turn another thing with mine if it went on its roof get to it quickly it floods it and trying to bleed it was the quickest way getting it back running but you'll pick the wee temperamental thing of it up through time I loved mine so much mine got stolen from the work shed had everything for it! They stole the lot!
Still got this rig mate..? And still racing…?
i know this is an older video, but i am super curious what the difference between the 817 v2 and the 819 is.. or if it is even worth upgrading to the 819.. i got my hands on a second hand 817 v2 recently and i love the platform. i am also curious if the 819 parts will fit on the 817 due to the 817 being phased out soon.
All the rs has is basically a 2mm smaller chassis. All 819 parts are cross compatible to the 817 v2. I just bought a nice lightly used 817 v2 to run and upgrade to the 819 ram down the road.
I still have mine till this day
It Looks very hot Bro. Nice🔥🔥😎👍😉
Good purchase enjoy i had like 3 of those hpi in 2000 to 2003 now i got the t maxx monster truck nitro and a redcat desert baja 5/5 scale regular gas is a big monster but now im looking for again hpi but they discontinue i see on amazon the new nitros are DPI and electric and arrma
That car is magic.
Hi. Is that tear of leaking center diff on receiver box? Have you problems with metal insert on plastic diff housing?
how did you setup the idler screw? my rs4 just shuts down after it starts. ty
make it to the factory settings if it still shuts off then turn the idle a bit more so it could start
Nice man love it
that color is crazy cool man, liked and subbed
Great find on Ebay. I remember seeing this one on ebay. Something about buying second hand Nitros always a challenge and you never know what you will get 😁
Nitro gangggg. Quick question, I think the 4.6x has been around for a long time. Are all the 4.6x savages the same or did they update them with stronger components at some point?
