Im running a awesomatix a800mmx, I was only running a pmw value 8k on the day too, thats why rpm was a bit lower

Its definitely a killer bro. Worth every cent.

My Awesomatix goes just as quick, not much difference at all buddy.

Thanks for watching buddy.

Thanks for watching buddy. Yeah its a nice piece of kit, think ill be sticking with my Awesomatix MMX for a while though. Have a Tamiya TT01 race truck coming which will be good for this year's race season.

Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching buddy.

Glad you enjoyed the video buddy.

Thanks buddy the Ecto is my favourite and one I won't be getting rid of any time soon. Thanks for watching and enjoy your day, Merry Christmas

@@hossrc420 Thank you my friend and same to you. I will upload an Unboxing video today and I hope I will love the Ecto like as you do 👍 Cheers

I have some videos of cheap and easy mods to improve the performance. Go with a 50w shock oil too buddy. Enjoy and keep rc fun.

@@hossrc420 Good idea and thank you for your support 😉 I appreciate your visit 👍 Cheers

You can probably convert it with a body, wheels tyres to suit. I know they have to have the stock tamiya esc, brushed 540 and only mods allowed are main shaft and bearings, you even have to keep the friction shocks. Thanks for watching buddy.

Thats a shame, we have some guys that travel around a hour on club days and I plan to travel to new to race next year too with one of the boys. The touring cars can be a challenge which I love but the trucks just look like great fun and im hoping to get one soon. Thanks for watching buddy, im glad you enjoyed.

I had to travel 3 hours but it was worth it.

Thanks buddy. I found it on ebay from a store called twokeys. They also have a online store with different bodies available. Thanks for watching.

I've been using a flysky gt5 for around 2 years now and I can't complain about it at all. Its reasonable cheap and has plenty of functions and even a gyro built into the reciever. Thanks for watching buddy

Thanks for watch buddy. Im running 22 tooth pinion gear with the stock spur gear, i love the hobbywing setup and i find it pretty smooth for power delivery. Literally fitted a alloy ball diff today replacing the stock plastic straight axle setup.

Thanks buddy, the paint turned out nice on that body. Currently running a Aussie icon, a Holden Special Viehicle or HSV Maloo.

Glad you enjoyed my content buddy. Being in Melbourne go check out MRC plaza they have a drift track and hobbyshop. I wanted to build a drifter for around 12 months before I bit the bullet and I'm definitely not looking back, I love the challenge involved getting it right with a rwd drifter.

Thanks for watching buddy.

Yeah it took me another half hour after I did the video to get some nice consistent drifts going. It transitions alot quicker now and I think ill be leaving it as is other then tuning in my suspension a bit better. Thanks for watching buddy.

Thanks buddy, it's great fun and I'm loving it. Can't wait to make it back to the track but for now I'll have to get a few more sections so I can use my diy track more.

@@hossrc420 for my diy home track I bought sheets of corflute (black) from bunnings I think they where $12.00 each cut it 120mm folded in halve and taped them to the floor with cloth tape same as the closest track to me has nice and strong for drift track edge walls.very easy to untape and make track harder to drive as my driving improved.

May have to get some of that stuff too to go with the garden edging I have atm and yeah ill have to start taping them down too

@@shermaddictedtorc8540 scored a Sakura D5 Mr for my son to start drifting too.

@@hossrc420 my d5 is a shelf queen at this time some how picked up a small grub screw last time i was at the track into the motor and burnt it out. I personally like the d4 and d5 that i have.My next one will be a yokomo rwd.but at the monent I am enjoying my 2 Kazama countersteers to much

Yeah I agree, tested a few different tyres before I found a compound that wasn't too grippy with the paint. Yokomo DRC work great with the mst on painted floors. The track is very different to running markers but im getting there. Thanks for watching buddy.

?

Wish I had a shed to do that myself. The shopping centre is only around 5 mins away but usually have to wait for it to clear out enough in the afternoons before I can use it. Found a big stiff broom is an essential part of my kit now, having to clean the floor as my car was getting filthy. My nearest track is 3 hours away near Newcastle. Definitely be up for a run if I head up your way and I'm glad I've inspired you to gt back into it.

Thanks for watching buddy, glad you enjoyed. I crawl next to the bridge next to paradise caravan park Tamworth

@@hossrc420 What a top spot! I'm in GC....need to venture a bit to find rocks....you are very fortunate :) Luv the Gspeed Deadbolt. Are you running a revolver? - what esc?

Yes it is a awesome spot and others just like it nearby, one perk of living I the mountains. Im running a hardbody and class 1 tyres on the gspeed now. Im running the mamba micro x crawler edition with a 1400kv Holmes hobbies revolver.

@@hossrc420 I run a revolver also (Team Brood Riot S 1850kv) - with a Castle Sidewinder 2 Micro.....the Mamba Micro/Holmes revolver combo seems quieter than my setup.

Im not sure, I do know the yellow jacket is a bit quieter then the Holmes. The noise did annoy me to begin with but barely notice it now.

Why?

I've got some 1:28 scale awd rc's. Have the gyro setup in my van now that comes with my gt5 reciever, works great. I'm loving the challenge of rwd drifting. Thanks for watching buddy.

Thanks buddy. I'm getting the hang of it. I've git adjustable tunbuckles coming too which will help get the setup dialled in. Im looking forward to going to some drift tracks when I get a chance. There arnt any around my area which sucks. Thanks for watching.

No buddy. I'm not running the thin outer foam that comes with them though, they conform great.

I totally agree with that buddy, hoping to get a RMX 2.0 soon. I dont get many breakages with my crawlers except when my crawlers go tumbling down 4 meters plus lol. Thanks for watching buddy

I wasn't using a gyro in the video, I can use the gyro built into the gt5 reciever but don't think it's suitable for drifting.

@@hossrc420 I use Yokomo V4 (from memory) Gyros in all my rwd Drifters. The issue off no grip in the front is more than likely to be the no use of a gyro. At BOYZ TOYZ drift track at Yattla QLD we have quite a few of these trucks drifting. A proper drift gyro will transform the handling of the truck.

@@shermaddictedtorc8540 thanks for the tip buddy. I was considering something like that sometime soon. I still want to get some softer tpu for the front though.

Sorry didnt see your comment, glad you enjoyed buddy. Ill check yours out. Recording while driving the rc isn't easy at times, trying to concentrate on two things at once and get it perfect is a real challenge. I've recorded climbs where I've had issues then when the camera is off I nail it lol

Sorry I don't have it on hand. I doubt it on thingyverse, I just kept searching different variants of mini z and wltoys model numbers. It's surprising how much is available. Thanks for watching and im glad you enjoyed the content.

Thanks buddy. I glad you enjoyed and hope you get to hit the rocks too. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching buddy. I'm running 17t pinion gear and 87 tooth spur gear in my Gspeed.

I've been thinking about removing the pen springs in the rear as it does sit a bit lower with the trailing arms. Thanks for watching buddy.

Thanks for watching buddy and glad you enjoyed my content. There wasn't much grip on the rocks today as we had rain yesterday and that area doesn't get alot of sun, but it does make it more challenging and fun. When I eventually build another truck I'll go with rear steer over dig. After this run my mate pulled out his VS4-10 and he was using dig. I could turn almost as tight with 30% overdrive only a couple inches different. Rear steer can help get the rear end exactly where you need to get grip.

I had to flip the alloy mounts for the steering to the front and grind it down to suit. Moving the steering to the front of the axle I needed when lowering it down and definitely need a bent pan hard link if going the lcg route.

Im running Voodoo klr tyres and crawler innovations duel stage foams with comp cut centre. Thanks for watching buddy, I hooe you enjoy yours as much as I do. Have fun

Proline ruptures. Proline trenchers and Proline chisels

Yeah im a fan of the trenchers, probably my favourite proline crawler tyres. Thanks for watching buddy.

Personally I believe the ecto is the better option. Ive swapped all my suspension mods off the sendero to the ecto and the ecto is next level, the extra wheel length helps and I love the trail link set-up ecto has. Thanks for watching buddy.

@@hossrc420 Pretty much what I’ve gathered. Now I have an excuse to get another rig. 😎

I definitely recommend it 👌, it's definitely one of my favourite crawlers and worth every cent.

Thanks for watching buddy. Yes it definitely makes it more challenging, that last one I might have to move the gate to somewhere else, its almost impossible to get that climb without knocking a cone lol

@@hossrc420 I might just have clipped a few on my run even though it was me who laid out the course :-)

Its how we learn. Im running a lcg set-up on mine and will climb over 62 degrees

There are servo guards available, not sure how effective it would be on the SOA setup but would have to be better then nothing. Thanks for watching buddy

Thanks for watching buddy, im glad you enjoy my content

Thanks buddy. I'm glad you're enjoying my content. Have fun

I fitted some pen springs, element enduro springs 1.75psi, and 80wt shock keys oil buddy. Thanks for watching.
