@@TheMindsEye-RC thanks! I got to get the FJ running again. Need some body work.

I gifted that truck a while back. I remember that they were slightly longer than the stock ones. If I had to guess, I would say they between 40 to 42mm eye to eye. Sorry I couldn’t be more precise.

@@Papa_Shorty Thank you very much .

@@Shreddylife yeah I think I just got that one car that decided to be problematic. Horizon was cool enough to warranty out the parts, so I wasn’t super upset. What setup brushes setup are you running in your grom? I’m still debating whether to go brushless.

@@Papa_Shorty I went with a QuicRun 16BL30 esc with a Reedy 280-SL4 4500kV motor on 3S with a RC4GS radio / R6FG receiver combo. It was really worth upgrading the radio. The handling is really nice with the Gyro. I also installed a 28,000rpm fan because the motor was getting a bit hot on 3S

@@Shreddylife I was looking into the QuicRun. They seem to be the best working for the Groms. I’m still on the fence on what motor I want. I’m more interested in running it on a track rather than speed running.

@@Papa_Shorty The Quicrun esc is great for the price. Look up the XTEAM 2435 4500kv, its a good little motor for $23. I would really think about installing a Radio / receiver with a Gyro too its really worth it.

@@Shreddylife I’ll check out the motor, thanks. As far as a radio goes, I have one ready to go in that’s gyro equipped

@@NoodlesNJ1 that’s some great advice. Good looking out for. Thanks

@@rcplaytime thanks, glad you liked it. Hoping to get out to the track this week to get some footage.

@@HumlsHobbies totally agree on that.

@@exlewisrc3674 thanks man. Trying really hard to dedicate more time to this. Finding it difficult to maintain a presence, either by publishing videos or even in the comments. I need to win a small lottery. Just enough to be able to make content full time.

@@HaveUSeenMyBaseball86 yes. My magic level permits me to do such things. Or there’s pictures of each color available printed on the box.

@@Papa_Shorty so it doesn't work for everyone?

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the sub. I’ll have to swing by your channel and check it out.

Can’t beat that deal. I’ve been working on the comparison video. So far I’m really liking this combo.

Nah. It’s not. It’s slightly faster than stock. I believe you’re thinking of the 13T 540 Trailmaster. Shorter can than the 550.

Glad you enjoyed it. Looks a lot different now. The forest is so dense it’s almost impossible to film from lack of sunlight.

I only regret not getting one sooner.

Any time man. Can’t thank you enough for bringing it to my attention.

They pair up really well in the Trailwalker. I dare to say, the performance rivals the Furitek setup.

Glad I could help.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, it's been a hectic month. Thanks for the sub.

No worries I know how it gets lol. There are times I don't see comments right away on my channel so I get it.

I didn’t do any driving that day. I was just there to film. Yeah I definitely want a fast rig. Probably not till next year. Sorry took so long to get back to you, I was on vacation.

Yeah man that truck hopped the rail and grazed me. It then proceeded to barrel roll NASCAR style until the fence stopped it. I hate that I didn’t catch it on camera, but it happened so fast. Just got back from vacation, sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner.

Yeah man. Every time I’ve been out with this group, I’ve noticed that the Mojave never breaks. It’s between that and a Losi Eisenhower.

It was a great time. I didn’t do any bashing or racing. I was there to film. Plus the fastest thing I have is a TRX4. I tell you what though, that speed demon bit me. I feel the need to go fast now.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I love filming RCs and taking my time to find the shot. I usually end up dirtier than the RC.

Thanks for watching. I'm filming with and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Plus some software that give me more control over the camera settings. I imagine it wouldn't be convenient for you to use an iPhone for your videos.

@@Papa_Shorty thanks for the information! I’ve got a go pro 8 that I usually use for my bike POV videos. You’re correct it’s tough to use a phone on the bike.

The black was really nice when it was new. But once it got a scratched it lost its luster. Purple was the only choice.

Yeah. I still don’t know about it man. I wanted one, and I got it. I’m like ok… I don’t know how to articulate it properly. Driving it is like walk on soft grass with boots on. Where the Element is like walking barefoot. (I’ll have to say that in a video) But yeah, other than the electronics, it’s pretty well built.

Thanks man. I so glad you dug it. I’m really thinking about getting a second one. Make a steel roll bar for it and got topless. What surprised me about the river crossing, was the fact that almost no water got in the cab.

I promise you would love one. I’ve done near nothing to this one. I just changed the esc and radio for smoother control. Other than that and some paint and details, it’s stock. I’ll tell you know, it’s not a performer in any way. But it will surprise you how well it can do. I think this truck truly shines when being recorded.

Made a noticeable difference. Believe it or not, 99% percent of everything I’ve done is cosmetic. The only performance upgrades have been ESC, radio, wheels, and tires. Relatively stock.

Thanks for noticing! Sometimes it’s not just about the Truck.

Thanks man. I didn’t realize it was going to be a chill video until I started editing it.

Thank you. The suspension is bone stock. Once the suspension got worn in, it started to articulate much better.

I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to film here. Thanks Matt.

I appreciate that man. The weather is finally cooperating lol. I have more time to get out on the rocks.

lol I needed a way to justify the use of the winch. Actually I was going to end the video stuck in the crevice, the recovery was a last minute decision. I almost left that part out. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks man. I kinda want to repaint it again. Haven’t made up my mind yet.

The antenna is a E string. Batrazzi came out last year I believe. I have a set of their oil shocks too. The shocks are super nice on this truck. Completely changed up the performance.

Thanks man. One way or another, I’m going to make this my full time career.

Thanks man. I thought I got a little heavy handed in some spots. I expect some of it to come off with water and use. The crawling is Hollywood magic.

Yeah. That sums up getting old.

@@Papa_Shorty Yep. Stiff and creaky joints don't make doing a lot of things pain free. Anything you can and slap on you to mitigate that, is A-OK.

@@JD-tl7ld I’ll be in a suit of armor in a few more seasons.

@@Papa_Shorty Me too.

lol I had originally got them as shin guards for work. I believe this a way better use for them.

Yeah man. These are great for the price. The instructions say to hand wash, but I chuck em in with the wash. They do fine. I left a link in the description. It’s not affiliate, just figured it was a good deal.

Hell man. I’d wear knee pads in soft sand. Wrecked my knees in the service lol.

Thanks Chris. It’s a bit of a struggle finding the time to film. Going out for a day of crawling is completely different than a day of filming. Usually only have time for one or the other. I try to squeeze in a video when I have the extra time.
