GT12 racing: what will you need, and how much will it cost to get started?
You only need to touch the body for it to break . The wing mount is like chocolate Its Very Flimsy
@mark-1rc502 indeed, and the diff housing is super weak! Which is a shame, as the rest of the car is prettu decent
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal Yes i agree it isnt a Bad platform actually. It drives well enough. Its plenty fast enough when geared up a little . Even on grass just a grip roll , would break the wing, crack the body and bend a shock shaft and or a drive shaft. Its cheap to repair but its the frequency of repair that got to me. I sold mine .
easy saying things, try doing it, bloody preload on the thing is impossible to adjust once fitted, bad design.
Definitely too much power. Mine has blown up twice on 6s. You can do backflip whilst at speed!
Why use these type stand
I made my hobao a 6s and boyyyyy
It's insane on 6s!! I ended up selling this one, as there's nowhere near me where I can properly use it...
Love the C30, I miss my 2008 T5, can't beat that 5cylinder sound
Aww man I'd love a t5!! Just can't afford to run one atm... Still really pleased with my little 1.6 r design though
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal sadge that means you ve got a renault in a volvo chassis. If its not T5 its PSA engine
@polltegrais6457 I think the petrol engines were ford engines (all the parts say they fit volvo 1.6 and ford focus 1.6 engines). Either way, I'm chuffed with the motor
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal same engine just different name PSA/DV6-ford is literally the same engine So if you have Volvo that is under 2 litter is 100% the Peugeot/citroen engine Just google psa hdi
@polltegrais6457 yea that's the diesel engine. The petrol 1.6 is lifted straight from the ford focus
Im new to Nitro, i take it you're from Liverpool lad?
Sure am, kid 👍🤣 well, just over the water... I'm not big on nitro myself tbh, but needed one in the collection lol
Looks better than a Hpi savage to my eye
Haha I don't think so 🤣🤣
How does the 190 quid Carnage compare to the smaller scale MJX which can be had for around 100?
I'd say the mjx is a better all rounder in all honesty. It's faster, tougher, and seams better put together. But it is smaller. Also considerably cheaper
@TheChequeredFlagOriginal thanks for the honest feedback. I have a few mjx so parts are quite interchangeable. Guess if I got the FTX it would need a whole different set of spares too. I know their tracer is a tough beast but heard the carnage is more prone to breaking.
Where are you able to get parts for it?
Modelsport supply most parts for this truck
Where can I get myself that?
I'll pop a link up, but it won't be exactly what I have, as this one is modified
www.modelsport.co.uk/product/380804?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjLGyBhCYARIsAPqTz1_-BQSy2IpI6-bFKFMvhteVt6GDPTs36ZKZ4_h7qRanonpNJZuAVlwaAqJ_EALw_wcB
Nice car pal , iv just bought the rolling chassis but i think theres a part missing,?? The motor mounting clamp ?? The motor mount is here but i see no top brace clamp ?? Can you tell me where yours was mate ?
Ooo that's strange... I bought mine second hand, so I've no idea where it would be unfortunately. Hope you find it matey!
You can clearly see its struggling
Aye... shoulda taken it elsewhere I suppose
Est-ce qu'un chauffe bougie T2M peut faire démarrer cette voiture ? Je vais peut être m'en acheter une 👍🏽
I made my own adapters and also allowed me to extend the cables. Even my batteries that have XT60 i made a 10" extension cable and also got an extension for the balance part.
That's a bloody good idea! I ordered a pair of 3s balance cable extenders, which makes charging my 3s lipos waaaay easier. Bur charging my 2s lipos is still quite a struggle 🤣🤣
#scottfrenzelgetoveheremanwegotkidzwaitinforya
Wow nice pls pin 1sr comment
I have one. My controller isn’t turning on though 😢
Not to sound daft, but are the batteries old? Could just be they need replacing
I got it working again! The coil was bent and missing the batteries 😂
@@jackbk2721 waheey!! It's usually something simple when it comes to radio gear
Yeah I was getting worried that I would have to try to use my old TRX 4 controller 😂
you need to fire your camera man, they keep getting their fingers in the shot lol The mini is an amazing car to drive but their timing chain issue is a real danger! My exes mini's chain snapped at 53k on the outside lane of the M3! i was in the car and it gave no warning what so ever, just snapped and you hear a lot of tinny sounds coming from the engine!
That's my son 🤣🤣 can't fire him, but I might use my phone holder next time 🤣🤣 I'm really impressed with it tbf, its a really fun car to drive! Oh wow I wasn't aware there was an issue with the timing chain. I'd heard the timing chain tensioners could be an issue though. Jeez bet that was scary!
They are a hoot to drive
Honestly, I'm totally smitten! Sat down low, with a decent note from the exhaust, it feels fast going 30 mph 🤣🤣 and the suspension is stiff, yet those big chunky tyres provide a smooth ride. The steering is direct and precise... it really is a fun little car!
Alll 3 made in china but if i had to chose ill take the delkevic
Yea think most things are made in China these days... and yea, the Delk sounded lurrrvely lol
@TheChequeredFlagOriginal no not most but all these small brands. U can buy all 3 exhaust from China without having to pay those companies anyways
Front wheel drive is gone lol
Just a bit 🤣
Did it take it? 🤞
It took that one well... But a few minutes later I nose dived it 🤦♂️🤣 looks like it only bent the front centre driveshaft though, which is pretty impressive for a 20ft drop!
You care too elaborate?
Love you're video footage, the only thing is missing in my opinion is you talking while using it, talking about handling how it feels etc,would make the viewer more engaged,otherwise 👌
Hi mate what the full tank capacity and what's the approx cost of tanking it. What mileage range do you get mixed driving on the full tank
Great footage!
Thanks! I was a bit smitten with your kyosho... I don't remember being so fond of it in the past 🤣🤣 but that thing kicked ass on Saturday!
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal definitely a labour of love ahaha
Well I'm loving it mate, and now I need one 🤣🤣
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal hahaha I'm filling up the Wheelspin models basket as we speak!
@@ChrisFay1996 ooooo watcha getting?!
Are you certain that screw is for compr. damping adjustment @ 2:45? Pretty certain that adjustment is on an ext. resv.
Honestly, I don't know... I made the video ages ago lol! (And sold the bike that I fitted the shock to) Sorry I can't be of any more help
You never tried adjusting compr. damping?@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal
Love this
Aww thanks! It turned out okay tbf, and it's only a cheapo action cam... Oh and it's going on one of my bashers tomorrow 🤣🤣
I thought I recognised this bike. I bought the fly screen from you on Facebook mate 👍
Ahh no way!! Small world innit 🤣🤣
You just need that fruit trolley base now 😂 Get some dBoots backflips on that truggy. It'll be a monster
Haha I sure do! 🤣🤣 I'm gonna do a full resto on the truggy, after taking it to a skate park, obvs... gotta see if its actually indestructible 🤣🤣 Won't even get close to a backflip on 3s, but might do on 4s 🤷♂️ There's hardly any info on these on yt believe it or not, and I'd not even heard if them until my mate offered it to me for 80 quid. That's right, 80 quid!! So I'm really going to explore this little beast lol, and probably plow some money into it 🤦♂️🤣
What a stupid video.
A stupid video
hi nice vid
Thanks!
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal i watch all of ur vids and i love them
@kaydengarner05 ahh that's fantastic to hear, thank you!
You must add threadlocker to the drive cup screws out of the box, the stock drive cups will not come off/loose then. The only difference between the stock drive cups & the HD ones is HD ones are made from a better material that dont wear as fast.
Ahh okay... shoulda tried that first 🤣🤣
These are utter beasts! My son has one and loves it, great vid pal
Thanks! Yea I reckon it's the best bang for your buck! Definitely has a few weak points, the drive cups being the biggest issue imo... At least its a cheap Fix though lol
Nice review. I have the 16208, it's basically the same with a different body shell. Chock full of fun! Cheers!
Aww thanks!! Is that the monster truck version..? Think all the hyper go cars are based on the same chassis... I could be wrong though 🤣 Yea they're tons of fun, especially for the money!
Yes, it's kind of a truck/truggy. Same chassis. Super fun! @@TheChequeredFlagOriginal
@@MysticRiverRC awesome! I tried to convince my lad to get the truggy, but he was dead set on the buggy 🤷♂️ rear wing got ripped off within 30 seconds 🤣🤣
Nice video your boy must love it👌🏻
Thanks! Yea, he was loving it! Now I need to get one 🤣🤣
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal i have one on the way aswell
@techspac3 yes!! You'll love it mate! And your video will get WAY more views than mine lol
Fear and laughter. The best combo you can get 😂 Awesome mate. We have the MT and it's stupidly good. Great video mate 👌
🤣🤣🤣 me and my lad always have a laugh with the rcs 🤣🤣🤣 I knew it would be good, but I'm seriously seriously impressed with this thing! I might have to go and get one for myself now lol... Thanks mate, really appreciate that! It's hard to tell if a video is good or not until you get feedback lol
Wondering if you oiled the air filter on this model.
Alls I did was put a drop of nitro fuel on the air filter tbh... Seams to run fine like that
Front suspension....
Race Tech Gold Valves and new springs or even a GSXR fork swap.
I have a Torment. It is underated. I launch mine off a 25 foot gravel pile,it went another 15 feet, landed and only ate a bearing. On 3s it will do wheelies all day. I have a traxxas wheelie bar and cvds. The cvd dropped in no problems.
I was honestly surprised how good it was! You can pick these up super cheap second hand... I've often looked at them and thought 'eurgh'... But I've just eaten my words 🤣🤣 Sounds like you've had a great experience with yours, which is great to hear!
Those little MJXs are great! You should do a bashability test 🫢 great video buddy!
So far I'm really impressed with it! Oh, it's definitely getting bashed at some point in the week 👍😁 It's actually my lad's, he bought it with his own money... we only had time for a quick go yesterday, thinking we'd get it out properly today... but my poor boy has woken up feeling poorly today. So it might have to wait until next week unfortunately
how about durability sir?
Well I've had this charger for 8 months now, and it's been perfect. I've used it at least once a week, and regularly charge 2 2s lipos or 2 3s lipos with it. I'm very pleased with it, especially for the price!
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal is it ok to use rc car everyday?
@@hyperannatv3387 yea should be fine
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal am i right, skyrc t100 have 50watts per channel?
@hyperannatv3387 yes, that's correct. The highest you can charge is 5 amps per channel, so high capacity batteries may take a while to charge. For reference, my 5200 mah lipos Take about 1 hour 20 minutes @ 5 amps. A higher capacity battery would take longer
That’s great but your hand movements covered the wheel move up 😂😂
That actually looks like good fun! Wouldn’t mind me a tamiya truck 😀😂
Tamiyas are truly terrible... But the tamiya truck racing is loads of fun! Plus it's super cheap (when compared with other rc racing disciplines)
Fun race....love it!
It's excellent fun! And cheap too (by racing standards lol)
cheers for the reviews on them now i know what one to get .
You're welcome! That little wltoys really is a little weapon, I recommend them to everyone 👍
@@TheChequeredFlagOriginal cheers
@kaydengarner05 no worries brother
Some good side by side clean racing
It really was! I was actually impressed with how well the final went... especially with there being so many trucks on track!
Class!! My son loves his
They're boss little rcs imo, especially for the price!
