How are you doing my Juggernaut Brother? This video was taken about 8-9 years ago. Video quality is not so good, but thank you for watching. 🙇🏻‍♂️ The truck is currently in pieces, and I’m slowly putting her back together. I’m prioritizing getting the Juggernaut running again, then once that’s done, I can work on this one. 😁

@@galkawarrior i am not doing so good juggernaut brother. I am about to give up on everything. My life is not going as planned,in fact its worse. But you are welcome man. Your rc monster truck moves man.

@@TheRCWhisperer I sorry to hear that. I don’t know what to say… 😞 Fight on Brother, things will get better, find your motivation in life, and do things that are fun for you. Be with friends and family who love and supports you. And seek professional help. I went through depression myself, and RCing is one of my therapy that I self imposed. So I hope you find something therapeutic to get you up again.

@@galkawarrior thank you so much you have no idea what your kind words mean to me,i am seeing help,i am very despressed,mr rcees are helping me.

@@TheRCWhisperer I'm really not good at giving any advice, but I'm glad to help even just a little. I've set a goal in life to live long enough to see my grandchildren, but my youngest son is only 11, so it'll be a long time from now. So let's cheer each other up, and talk more RCs!!!

Mr. K, thanks for the advice, I’ll do just that next time. I didn’t know that I shouldn’t apply the thread locker on the female end. I might switch to a different permatex, the ultra grey rigid high torque RTV for a better seal. Thank you for watching!

@@galkawarrior I was a plumber for 20 years and it`s actually against the plumbing code to apply thread sealant to anything other than male threads. So, I just go by that. Seemed reasonable. Way easier to control where it goes. Also, I am looking for recommendations for motor/trans for my truck, when I get him going. I`m gonna need some serious power to get this monster rolling, lol. Right now, I have a WPL plastic 2-speed and a 370 motor. Which are not gonna last too long considering how much he`s gonna weigh. 8 pounds, maybe? Do you have any suggestions? ty! 🙂

Thanks Braddah! Too many snags in this build... 😅 That's what I get for doing custom, but hopefully soon she'll be back on the road. 🤙

Hey Mouc-RC, my Tamiya Brother… yeah I hope it works out and I’m more than happy to share my findings. It’ll apply to the TXTs also as you already know. I will be posting it in the forum as well. Thank you for watching! 🙇🏻‍♂️

Greetings! May I call you Mr. K13 for short? 😬 Sorry, my channel is still in it's infancy. I didn't have a mic yet in the beginning, and I'm a soft spoken person. ☺ These Lithium Polymer batteries or LiPo for short are categorized by their number of "S" for their voltage output. I'd like to think of it as batteries in series. So, 1 "S" is 3.7 volts nominal, fully charged are 4.2 volts, so a 2S LiPo is 7.4 volts, 3S LiPo 11.1 Volts, etc. You might see 2S2P, 2P means it's 2 packs soldered in parallel, for example 2S2P 5000mAh, meaning 4 batteries, 2 sets soldered in parallel, then soldered in series, each was 2500mAh. The internet can probably explain it better than me. 😂 Back to my truck and my modification in this video, the truck when it came out in 1999/2000, used to use 7.2volts NiCad or NiMH, which are close to the 2S LiPo battery voltage. I'm using a 3S LiPo, which has 50% more voltage, but the motor I'm using is only 1700KV. Meaning 1700rpm per voltage. The stock motors that were in the truck were 27T silver can brushed motors, which from recent discovery could go as high as 2500KV, 2500rpm per voltage. How I have the motor mounted skips an idler gear (40/15 compounded gear), and makes my 1700KV brushless motor spin faster than the 2500KV 27T, and then adding more voltage makes spin even faster. That's why I ended up breaking some gears in the process. 😅 That's what I'm investigating in my more recent videos. Thank you for watching!

@@galkawarrior You could call me kem or kemble, they're both good. I dunno where k13 came from 😂 Yeah, I'm sooo green at all of that 2s, 3s stuff. It's a nightmare as far I'm concerned. You sound like nuclear physics major there Dr Galka. Lost me. So, can a 2500kv run 11 volts? And yours is _volts? Well, you're lucky, I sound like a gay, New Jersey resident hhhhhh 😂 But, I'm neither and from Indiana. I'm gonna reread your post. Thanks, Bro!

@@mrkemblegilstrap Mr. Kem, the K13 came from the number of letters after the K in Kemblegilstrap... 🤣 So I was talking about the old 540 27T brushed motor silver can that came with most Tamiya Trucks. Brushed motors are rated by their number of turns, "T", the higher the T the higher their torque, the lower their RPM per voltage. Brushless motors are rated by KV, RPM per voltage. The higher the KV the higher their RPM, the lower their torque. So to answer your question, can a 2500KV motor run on a 3S LiPo? Simple answer would be yes, but depends on the application, and most importantly the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) capability. My first run in with brushless motors and LiPo batteries are when I started flying RC planes. I then applied that knowledge when I switched to electric RC monster trucks. No, I'm not a nuclear physicist. 🤣 I just had a lot of time on my hands at one point, and did some research on the hobby. Gay, straight, I don't care what you are! As long as your happy! 🙂 I'm happy to connect with people who have the same interest in hobbies as me. 😊

Greetings Uncle Bob! They're the axle housings and top beveled gears from the Juggernaut 2, I knew about the Jugg 1 gear issues, so I purchased the replacements right away after winning the truck from eBay. If you watch the video again starting at 5:06 you'll see the axle's pinion shaft is long and has a bearing on the end. I showed a comparison between the Jugg 1 & 2 in one of my previous videos. ☺ th-cam.com/video/9J0Eu_UUjPE/w-d-xo.html I made some more discoveries, no further drilling of the diff housing is required. Please watch the next video, it's starting to get exciting. Thank you for watching!

@@galkawarrior Yup, seen the shaft that's why I said Jugg 2 (or TXT-1/2). As a guy that owned all the trucks except the Jugg 2, I didn't like the Red color (I know, could paint it any color) or the new stickers. The only trucks I have left are 5 Clods (Gray Edition Clod is still new in boxes, yes boxes, it's still in the box Tower Hobbies shipped it in) and 2 TXT-2's. My second TXT-2 I built from buying parts but I'm missing the G-Parts, bumpers, shock/radio/battery box mounts & axle guard/servo mount. I just can't find any new ones... Tamiya is out, Tamico is out...

@@UncleBobsRC Did you get the Clod black edition too? I remember you said you preodered 2? I need to buy some parts from Tamico that Tamiya USA is out of. And I'm thinking of converting to TXT 6mm gearbox and axles shafts. But I'm also thinking of just staying with the 5mm size, because the gearbox hex nut for the Jugg 1 is only 7mm, the others are 12mm, I'm thinking of making a cush drive. 😅

I miss understood your initial post, I thought you were asking if they were Jugg 2 gears and housing... 😅

@@galkawarrior LOL, all good dude....

Thank for the sub! And I sub right back at you... 😃 I'm mostly into solid axle monster trucks, so that's what my content will most likely be. I'll try to get my Jugg back on the road... And thank you for watching!!! 🤙

@@galkawarrior Oh, wow! Thanks, Bro. I1m trying to build a monster truck out of my C24. I guess that I`m going for a car crushing monster truck as opposed to off road for 2 reasons. #1. Where I live there is just concrete and asphalt. I have Stone Mountain, The Flowerbed Berm and the Ironing Board of Death, for off roading Pif! #2. I think RC monster trucks are awesome. Last week in a 2-day period, I messed up 2 trannys, my generic Dremel, a 390 12 v motor and melted a RES-3 remote. All right here on my work bench, lol. 40 years ago, I blew up my electric bong by trying to inject Nitrous into it. I haven`t changed. I`m 62 now 😀😆

@@mrkemblegilstrap This hobby has no age limit, keep chugging along! As you can see I broke my rig too, because I “Tim the tool man Taylored” it! 😂 But, that’s what makes the hobby more fun for me, modifying things. I’m the first to do this mod, and probably the last… 🤣

@@galkawarrior Epic thumbnail, Bro!

@@mrkemblegilstrap LOL! Thank you! I'm still learning. I tried to depict that I'm fixing my rig. I really just started the channel a few months ago or so. Doing it more for my entertainment, and documentations.

LOL! Thank you for watching! I’ll be picking this project up again soon, so please stay tuned. I hope you check out the rest of my videos. 😊

Thanks! The tires are stock… 😬 I’m investing the stripping noise, so far everything seems to be fine. I hope you stay tuned. Thank you for watching!

@@galkawarrior Stock? :O Cool. They look more rigid than on the SCB. And no worries man, good vid :) I got the Arrma Fireteam 6S, used, for half the retail price. Upgraded with Hobbywing motor and ESC... Couldn't refuse that offer :D :D

@@Heizekel77 Nice! 6S!!! Damn, that’s lots of power. Those trucks are really capable bashing around. But I’ll stick to my fragile solid axle trucks… 😅

@@galkawarrior Yeah, I would too :D 3S for both crawling and bashing has been my limit so far. But I will try this one out tomorrow. And yes, it seems like a handfull!

Thank you Uncle Bob! I have to get in the axles anyway since I want to try and modify the differentials and try to make them fully sealed so I can put heavy weight diff fluid. I do have the “2000” axle housing, and beveled gears. The diff and drive gears are the same for all 4 trucks I believe. Jugg 1, 2, TXT-1, & 2. Please stay tuned as I diver deeper. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! Yes, I’d have to dive in deeper, the gear that I thought stripped wasn’t the culprit. I’m making some modification to the axles and differential anyway, so I’m knocking 2 birds with one stone. I hope you stay tuned! 😊

Thank you for watching! I have the spare gears laying around, I could go the Mad Inventor route. But, I have another robust plan... Please stay tuned... ☺

Thank you! I hope you stay tune and see my future plans for her. And thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! LOL... I know right. But I have plans to get her back and running again. So please stay tuned...

Hey Braddah! Thank you for watching! I knew that not glueing her tires was the culprit why she couldn’t pop them wheelies consistently, but I got too excited and stripped a gear in the process… 😭😫😅 I do have spare gears, but they’re from the TXT, which are the same, except for the shaft gear, which takes a bigger hex nut than the original Juggernaut. I’ll see if I can document when I open the gearbox and share what it looks like. And like I told Uncle Bob, I might use a 2S LiPo battery instead, which is 7.4V rather than the 11.1V 3S LiPo. 😬

Thank you for watching Uncle Bob! I was testing my new battery, Turnigy Rapid 5000 mAH 100C, and also having the tires glued. I’m going to have to find a way to tame the single 1700KV 4076 motor. Maybe dial it down to 2S LiPo?

Thank you for watching! I'm upset that I broke something, but not disappointed with the motor's power... Please stay tuned for future plans and upgrades. 😊

Wow a gear has definitely given up.

@@madmustangrc214 Thank you for watching. I haven't opened it up yet, but I believe it's the plastic gear that the steel pinion is riding against. The stock gear is not designed to handle my modification. I have something planned for it, so please stay tuned!

Thank you for watching my Juggernaut Brother! Just putting her through the wringer, as you probably heard some clicking sound, I'll be investigating it. The rear driveshaft would fall out sometimes, so I need to remedy that. Or maybe switch to plastic Traxxas driveshaft like you. Check out the previous videos and find out what motor I'm using. 😉

@@galkawarrior drill a hole in the shaft and install the traxxas drive shafts like i did much better then the originals because they fell out on me aswell and it causes alot of damage to the metal shaft. too much power does damage i am just using a evx2 and 550 titans brushed from traxxas.

@@TheRCWhisperer That's exactly what I'm about to do, drill hole in the shafts, and use a grub screw with a pin that will go through the hole. What's the part number for the Traxxas drive shaft you're using?

@@galkawarrior i just used the drive shafts off of my traxxas tmaxx 3.3 cc just look it up online tmaxx 3.3 drive shafts but heres the number 4 ya 4907

Thank you for watching!!! I somehow didn't receive a notification of you post. Anyway, I agree, but remember, like you said, these are models. Models first, then RC second. 😬 But I do wish that they would use better plastics. And the Clodbuster's design hasn't changed since it came out in 1987. I still like it though for what it is. For the nostalgia and retro feel of the clumsiness of this monster truck like back in the days. But I'm with you. 😊 I'm not sure if Traxxas has any 1/10 scale solid axle monster trucks?

Thank you for watching Braddah! I'll start putting her back together again, maybe have a video about it this weekend... 😁

Thank you for watching! It's not as tough as an SMT or LMT, but it's my favorite RC monster truck EVER!!! There are still some things I have workout and finalize, I need small servo savers that don't have slop. The truck is unstable at high speeds.

LMT and Smt will never have the great looks as a hard body Tamiya. If a Tamiya could do some of the things that the other trucks can the body would never last it's perfect the way it is. I love it.

@@madmustangrc214 Uncle Bob told me, first and foremost, Tamiya are model kits that you can drive. To me it's what makes them amazing! And you are right, that is why one of my Clodbuster is sporting a Lexan body just to bash it a little harder.

I have a Clod as well it's kind of like a Clod still lol. C.P.E. chassis and I run lexan on it for those very same reasons. Well and because I never had the original body.

@@madmustangrc214 I'm thinking of making a custom chassis for one of my Clodbuster builds, the one with the CPE aluminum suspension links. My other build is box art vintage resto-mod.

Thank you for watching! Sorry no video yesterday. I’m on work travel.

Mine 2

Thank you for watching! I’ll try to get better in the future with catching the videos like you. I don’t have a camera man… yet… 😅

Thank you for watching! I tried to catch what I can, I don’t have a cameraman per se… 😅 I hope to improve on the cinematic… 😬 Love your videos Braddah! I don’t know where you eat or sleep at home? It’s full or RC monster trucks and action figures!!! 😂

Thanks Uncle Bob! But not as bad ass as your TXT-2! 😅

@@galkawarrior Well, not sure about that man... My TXT-2 still runs on stock motors and I only popped in my 3S lipo just for grins.. I use a Zeee 7200mAh 80C pack.. I haven't grown up to the big boy packs like high end Gens Ace, AmpMax or Trinity, yet...

@@UncleBobsRCwhat size are you hoping to go up to? Because I think what you have is plenty!!! 😬 I’m only getting a 3S 5000mAh 100C. I tried a 4S LiPo, but it was only a 4000mAh 20C, and she kept cutting out! The battery ballooned up a little afterwards, but returned to normal. Not sure if it’s the battery that was causing the cutoff or the motor was overheating? I’d have to try again… 😅

@@galkawarrior I'm only going to a high end lipo for my drag cars... I have a problem with guys over powering a Tamiya kit then bitch that it breaks, a Tamiya kit is first and foremost a model, a model that's drivable. TBH, thats was only the 2nd time I ran the truck on 3S, most of the time I use 2S, and that's with most all my kits.

@@UncleBobsRC I get it now… I don’t race nor compete, just bash around fun. She currently runs on a 3S 4000mAh 40C, and she cuts out once in a while with that battery too! The battery I’m getting is a Turnigy Rapid. I might also get a 4S, but I’d have to see if she still cuts out with the higher “C” battery. TBH, I didn’t see much speed difference when I went to the 4S, but then again, the wheels are not glued to the tires, so they’d just spin in the tires, so maybe that’s a reason I don’t see much difference. 😬

Thanks you for watching Uncle Bob! I bought the parts tree for the stock link arm (it came with a left and a right) the same time I did the replacement chassis, but like I mentioned, the project got halted when the tub cracked on me. Like I said, I didn't even think I torqued the ball connector that much. My screw driver doesn't fit that well in the slot and it would slip first before I get the chance to really crank down on it. I did put blue thread locker on the ball screws, but I waited a little for them to dry. I went ahead and bought another chassis tub today, but I'll still try to fix the broken parts and/or experiment if I can strengthen them, so I can apply it to the new parts. I'll share the out come, whether it works or not. 😊

@@galkawarrior No worries my Clod Buster Brother.... I can't help but notice those stock shocks, Black Edition shocks (axle guards too)... Too bad the OG truck got gutted, probably worth a few bucks (hundreds), good news, Tamiya is ReRe'ing the Black Edition Clod and my wife don't know I'm buying at least 2 kits... LOL

@@UncleBobsRC 🤣😂🤣🤙🏼 I try to sneak small packages by my wife, I don’t know how you’re going to sneak 2 Clods!!! Yup, I knew they’re getting Re-Re’d this year. The Black edition is the second best color scheme IMO, next to the original. I wished I could afford to get one, but I would probably rather save for a TXT-2. I almost pulled the trigger on an Original LMT, but again, I don’t currently have the funds for a big ticket item. The red shocks and axle guards I got are actually vintage. I have four of the eight that came with the vintage truck, and the faded color matched. 😅 I couldn’t wait for the Re-Re to come out, but I’ll see if I can snag a red parts tree from Tamiya if possible.

@@galkawarrior I buy, then ask for forgiveness, it's easier than asking for permission... LOL. I have 2 TXT-2's and an OG Clod, A Super Clod, A Thunder Tech Ripper Pro Race Chassis Clod and 2 Gray Clods as of now (sold and gave away about 14 Clods).. Sold off my OG Juggernaut & TXT-1 years ago... Start saving for a TXT-2.. they ain't cheap if you find one.. I was talking about the Black Clod shocks you have... However, the Black Edition Clod uses Red parts, The black shocks and bumper guards are from the Chrome Edition Clod #58423, the one I never got!!!

@@UncleBobsRC 😂🤣😂 Oh no… these black one that I have are dyed… 😅 they’re the blue ones from the Super Clodbuster, I threw them in boiling water with Rite black dye. I said that in my video. 😬 I’m going on a trip this summer, so I’m saving up for my pocket money. Can’t blow it on a TXT… 😂

Thank you for watching! I don't know what Tamiya could do for me since I didn't buy it directly from them, but I could try. I also have a Tamiya Juggernaut that I'm trying to finish up, there's still a few things I need to tweak to call her done.

Braddah! Mahalo for watching! 🤙🏼 I forgot to mention that the other two are not mine. It’s my friend’s, but they’re shelved right now. So to return the favor of buying me my Clodbuster, I’m going to get his trucks running again. He agreed to whatever build I want for them. Which one should I go with first?

@@galkawarrioryour welcome 🤙koolz,I'm curious to see how the extended one with the esp 4 links would turn out.

@@Maxdestruction_Racing That’s probably the easiest build of the three… I have most of the parts for it, I just need to purchase the servos for the axles or take the ones off of my Bigfoot bodied one… 🤔 We’ll see… 😊

Thank you so much for subscribing! The Juggernaut is my favorite MT from Tamiya's line up, the Clod and TXT-2 are even 2nd place, although I have two TLT-1 which introduced me to the solid axle MT. If you watch the build series, you'd see how my Juggernaut is powered by a single brushless motor. 😃

@@galkawarrior I watched it... I watch YT mostly through the PS4, so I cant comment that way, I can only leave comments via my laptop...

@@UncleBobsRC I’ve actually watched most of your videos… I mostly like solid axle MTs. I’ve only recently started filming and commenting… 😬 I mostly watch through my phone or laptop.

@@galkawarrior Good stuff man... I been watching your stuff too... Your Jugg jumps well even with the leaf springs... I been working on a 2nd TXT-2 but had to stop cause I cant find the G parts (need 2) but everything in it is new, all screws and most parts came straight from Tamiya USA... soft case lipo's bouncing around will puff.. They don't like hard jolts, go hard case... Yup, watching another of your videos as I type this....

@@UncleBobsRC I’m flattered that you watch my videos. Channels like yours inspired me to start mine. I’ve watched all your TXT-2 videos. If or when I can afford a TXT-2 I’ll definitely snag one. You might want to invest in a 3D printer if you don’t have one already, you might be able to just print out those parts. Did I mentioned I’m working on a limited slip diff for the Clodbuster using 3D printed parts? TBH, I’m not limiting myself to Tamiya though, them LMTs sure are very capable MTs and have lots of upgrades available currently. But I feel like I’m cheating the game if I get one of those… 😅

Thank you very much for watching! To be honest I was still babying her to not scratch her up in case she tumbles. I don’t care too much on grass… 😬 I think I’ll put a 2K matte clear coat when I get around to painting her. 😅

Thank you for watching! I agree, although they’re not as capable as modern trucks, I think they’re real contenders. I did some modifications, she runs on a single brushless motor. th-cam.com/video/0ueolgVe8P8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sj0xc4yh7nf8Zown I hope you watch the whole build series. 😊

I would lose my MIND if they re released the Juggernaut!

@@Bash_TheStampede there are some available in eBay, but really steep price. Got her off of there in not so great of a shape, but I already had this vision in mind…

@@galkawarrior I thought it's supposed to have two motors for it.

@@bradkalman2353 normally it’d be running on two motors, but I modified mine. Were you able to watch the video I linked?

Thank again for stopping by Braddah! 🤙🏼 was taking it easy, didn’t want to scratch her too much until painted and clear coated… 😅

Thank you for watching! TBH I've broken the rear's steering link twice already... 😅 I even redesigned it hoping it'd be a little tougher, but I might go with a different route for the steering links, maybe cut something out of a CF or composite sheet.

Another awesome fun video, love it,keep up your amazing work, its gets better and better your Juggernaut 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@Maxdestruction_Racing thanks for watching Braddah! Was busy earlier this week, took footage of what I could. Gonna paint sooner or later. Planning on buying matte clear coat with hardener to better protect her.

Thank you Sir for watching! I heard some clicking noise when I was putting her through the wringer, so I might have to inspect the gear box. I'll continue putting her through the wringer and catch some footage while I'm at it. So please stay tuned! 😃

Thanks for watching Braddah!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Pau Hanna already… your turn to post some vids… 😁

@@galkawarrior your so welcome bro,tomorrow I will with my MaxD in Action 🤙😁🤙

Thank you for watching! Still putting her through the wringer. The suspension is a little too stiff, I don't know if I should replace the shocks with softer ones, or the leaf springs with softer ones, or maybe both. I'll experiment, but I don't want to make it too soft neither, because I do like the stiff suspension like the old school real monster trucks too!!!

Thank you for watching! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Tack för att du tittade! She's ALIVE!!! Now the voyage begins!!!

@@galkawarriorCheers! :D ✌

Thank you for watching!!! She’s just starting her adventures, so please stay tuned!!! 🤙🏼

Thank you for watching! It's also my favorite! Although the new models that are out are more capable and durable, like the LMT. The actual adventure has just begun! So I hope you stay tuned!!!

Mahalo Braddah!!! 🤙🏼 Still got to paint her. More running videos to come. 😊

@@galkawarrior can't wait to see when its painted.... Tuesday is my next day off work, so I'll try make a running video of one of my toyz😁

@@Maxdestruction_Racing 🤙🏼 weather is is getting warmer, so I’ll be painting her soon. For now putting her through the wringer to see if the gearbox will survive with the MONSTER motor setup. Broke the rear steering link already, she Tboned a landing, so I’m redesigning a stronger one I hope. These are not TOYS! That’s what I tell my wife… 🤣😂🤣

Thank you Sir! Painting her next, then more running videos. Have to put her through the wringer and see if the plastic gear next to the pinion will hold. If not, I’ll copy Sir Mad Inventor’s gearbox. I see you have the same user name in Tamiya Club. 😁

Thank you for watching! I’ll be painting her like the box art. I already have the RERE decals from MCI, which I purchased around the time I got the truck! 😅 Since she’ll be black, I’ll name her Nyx, from the Greek mythology.

Thank you for watching! I hope you continue to follow. The journey has just begun…

Thank you watching! And thank you very much for the sub!!! 🙇‍♂ I have a whole series for this build, I hope you watch them too... I'm sorting out just a few more things, and I should have a running video soon...
