Lmfao, if I were to attempt this, I’d have a workbench full of parts and screws and a bunch of garbage cars that would never go back together 🤣
Haha! Well I’ve got plans for the other cars too!!
For real!
🤣
My thoughts exactly!😂
@gothbricks2000 🤣🤣
New favorite RC channel! The material is sweet and editing is absolutely flawless. 👏
Thanks so much!!! 🔥👍👍
Absolutely brilliant build mate! awesome editing on your Vids too!.. Cheers, Jimbo, Australia.
Glad you like it man, thanks!!!
Absolutely love the ingenuity in custom piecing parts together, what a great idea and execution! Love to see what you learned and am super interested in seeing if you are able to find any more improvements!
Thanks! It was fun! Hoping to find more mods soon too!!
@@DerbyCityRCbtw, can you recommend a ESC for my 16889 pro, I'm going Dumbo receiver 😊
Also a better servo, this one is acting funny since i put bigger wheels
I really haven’t even put a better esc or servo in mine yet. Once I do it will be shown. That 901a receiver is all I’ve used but I’ll likely go with the Hobbywing quicrun or something similar.
@@DerbyCityRC mine developed a pretty big delay on the trigger, its not extreme, but bothers me, I only drive it on 2S and it has those bigger tires you used way back
You talking about the 901a esc or the quicrun?
My old 901a developed a bad delay after I ran it in 3s. Ordered a new one and just kept it on 2s after that lol
sick video bro, content bang on and video pace punchy as.
SHooooo Doggy!!! That's the business!
It was absolutely the business!
Awesome job Evan! A ton of work went into this vid. Respect🤜🤛
Thanks Phil!
Yes this one was a monster to edit lol
Definitely had fun doing it though.
Thanks!!
Dude, this channel just showed up on my list of stuff to watch and I gotta say that the videos ingenuity, comedy, quality, content and entertainment is a winner. Now I’m stuck on watching all your videos. Love the video and the content. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. 💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome man! Glad you like it! Only like 125 more to watch!! 🤣 😃🤘🤘
Ditto!
That was a good fun Saturday morning video to watch! I like the pace of your videos, makes me want to go make something and drive it!
My 16th scale HBX, I got different plans, I'm going the other way, I want to narrow it down and put smaller wheels, and a buggy body... So was good seeing your video, see how versatile these parts really are, very nice! Have a great weekend there, buddy!
Thanks! It was fun to shoot too. Glad you liked it!! Your projects sounds fun as well!
Awesome video. I keep coming back to watch it. Also used it as inspiration to build my ec30b into an mt and am now thinking about using my 901a to build up an ec35. Thanks for the awesome content.
Awesome man! You’re welcome!!!
The Mad Max FrankenMonster‼️👍👍🦾🦾😎😎
That’s right!!! 🤣🔥🔥🤘🤘
That's FANTASTIC build! I absolutely love this & I feel it looks better with the bigger tires.
Thanks! It was fun for sure.
I liked the big tires the best, but I like the looks of the middle tires lol
That is one creative super strong mashup! It will be fun to see where it goes from here!!!!
Thanks!! It sure was fun!
Cool stuff!
Thanks!!
Love your channel dude !
Thanks man!!!
4 Trucks onto one chassis. This turned out brilliantly Evan! Not dumb at all! This was awesome! What a masterpiece!🙌🏼👌🏼💯⚡️💡💥
Thanks Robby! Fun truck for sure! The video took quite a few hours of post-production but worth it! Lol
@@DerbyCityRC needs a truggy body and a wing. I wanna see round 2 with this bad boy with some metal c-cups, better esc, and some different shocks. Thanks for the content!
Im sure it will come around again! Im definitely not getting rid of it so something’s gonna happen. Better shocks and esc for sure! Maybe the upgraded spur gear mjx just released!
You need more subscribers, best RC channel !
Thanks man!! We’re increasing by the day!
That’s brilliant!
Thanks!
Dr. Frankenstein, you built a monster! Love your vids. It's great to see you playing with your kids! They're going to grow up to be insane rc stunt drivers. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks!! I’m hoping the other 3 love it like we do!!
Love this one, got a few of these cars, and there all still running. HBX plastic are great. The stub axle not so much….
But a light weight car handle the hits and don’t hurt much when you kid slams on into your foot. Going to be a fun season for ya.😊
Thanks!
Yes this will be good!! Max has been running into his own foot a lot lately 🤣🤣
Badass frankenbuild!
Thanks it was a ton of fun!!
Great video! 👍
Thanks!!
I love your Frankenstein car!!! That looks like a really fun project.
It definitely was fun!! I’ll be keeping it lol
Love it man, this is great. This is the kind of stuff I love doing too.
If it don’t fit, make it fit 🤣
Thanks! Lol
Yup gotta make it work lol. I have another one planned for a 1/12 scale but will definitely be more challenging.
Dude thank your for this
You’re welcome!!
These are my favorite type of videos
It was a blast!
You are truly insane... I love it!!
Haha! Thanks!! 🤪
You are the BEST rc car youtuber by far,no one comes close. And I watch A LOT of videos :))))
hope comments help you with the algorithm
So awesome to hear!!!
Thanks ! 😃
Love the monster builds keep it up
Thanks!
Awesome 👍
Thanks!
Solid work with the video style. 😎👍
Much appreciated!! 👍🤘
Stumble upon this channel a few days ago because I was sick of spending $$$ fixing my Traxxas rc cars. YT search for budget RCs and this channel had a bunch of content for that. And now I cant stop binging channel for his other content.
Sorry you spent too much on your traxxas lol.
Glad you’re enjoying the videos!!
Awesome Evan, great job 👍💯💥
Thanks Dan! Not as cool as your toy grade brushless conversions but it’ll do!!
@@DerbyCityRC I’m digging that build of yours it’s awesome 👍
Thanks. I went in not knowing if it would work or not but turned out great 👍
Great video! Safety first!
Haha! Thanks!
I’m new to the hobby and all your links r super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to list all of them. I’m sure it takes lots of your time. When u know nothing the biggest question is where do I get this stuff so the links r a god sent.
Also I like your stile and speed of your mod/repair videos. Been building race drones for the last few year so for me thw learning curve isn’t to bad. But ton more parts to know about. I’ve watched more of your videos than any other channel because of the speed/style u delivery the information. Also I’m a grandpa these days and bought rc trucks for my grandsons this Christmas. I love the interaction with your kids. Who’d a thought a family hobby with the fam in the videos. Keep it up.
I’ll be buying from your links to support the channel. Thanks, keep u the great work.
What a compliment! Thanks so much and I really appreciate you using the links!
So glad you get to enjoy this awesome hobby with your grandkids! 😃
Epic Video Brother!!
Thanks man! That was a fun one!!
Fantastic video! My son and I have an EC30B each. It's good to know that we have options to remix!
Thanks!
Those are my favorite buggy’s at the moment. Don’t hVe many buggies though lol
Amazing!! What an impressive build!! Modular parts is the main reason I like Arrma.
Thanks man!!
Eh just wanted to say love the channel 🤘 cool project. Your top ten best cheap EC rekindled my interest in the hobby
Thanks!
That’s cool, man! Really glad that video brought you back!! 😃🤘🤘
@@DerbyCityRC yeah I got my kid an rc car for Christmas, just a wal-mart tank drive unit. Adventure force or something, honestly can't remember. Anyway not to sound too paranoid but, I kept telling my girl it was cool and we should get a better one. Then wouldn't you know it your channel pops up... never been happy so about my privacy being invaded constantly lol
Haha! That’s great! 😊🔥🔥
aww yeah! brother Derby puttin my favorite small scale through it's big boy paces. my daughter has recently discovered my 18889 or 188019. whatever. the brushless one. it's a little badass! thanks for the new episode from rogueFactor & family to yours!
Glad you liked it BroFactor!! I think it’s the 18859. Mine didn’t last long lol. Still got it here with a broken rear diff though!
If was time for this little dude to grow up!
Thanks to you guys From The Derby City family !! 🤘🔥👍
Gran idea. Ha creado usted el Frankensteincar. Enhorabuena.
Thanks!
Very cool… great job!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Pretty cool dudes 🤠🤙🏼
Thanks! 👍👍🔥🔥
Awesome again🤩 cool idea and the swingarms you used, are also the same at the reely core buggy😋
Thanks!!!
Dude I just tried the Ovonic that you suggest, dunno how to say thank you!!! are a bit too long but it is totally not a problem to fit them in the truck!
got also a small 3S arrived today too, Im waiting to use it this week end. Thanks a lot for your videos, helped me a lot!
ps. so many people are telling me that I'm nuts to try it with 3S, maybe I am, why not! I showed them your videos ;)
You’re welcome!!
Haha! Definitely NOT nuts to try on 3s. 🤣🤣
@@DerbyCityRC I have tried and it is soooo cooool :D
everything looks totally fine, esc and motor barely work just as when I use the Ovonic that u suggested and I love using the HBX 903 tires! easy peasy :D
again, thanks buddy for your tips!
You’re welcome!!
EPIC!
Thanks!
Dude, look sick… thanks for the mention bro!
Thanks man! You’re welcome!
Bro the pretzel crisps link killed me 😅😂
Haha! I think you’re the first to ever mention that surprisingly. Just like to throw in dumb stuff from time to time 🤣
This is mega. I love cannibalising stuff like this to get the best you can from everything you have 💪💪
Absolutely I agree! I think it went great! 🔥🔥
@@DerbyCityRC absolutely! To me, that's what let's the smaller scale RC's down - they flip and tumble so easily. It's no fun constantly turning a car over. This is such a great mod to fix that 👌
I agree man! It worked perfectly and solved the small battery tray issue at the same time! And a stronger servo.
So now I’m gonna make my reguLr 16889a into the pro, but use that longer chassis.
@@DerbyCityRC excellent - can't wait for a vid on that too
Me too!! Haha!
Brilliant of you to show how longer/wider chassis with best-of components makes such a great truck. Seems a LOT like the HBX 903a, which we've been having a blast with. Welcome your thoughts on what to upgrade on the 903a. I don't want to hurt diffs & gears, so likely staying 2S and stock wheel/tire setup unless you recommend an upgrade path on controller & batteries that fit. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks!! It’s similar to the 903a but shorter in height and length, and not quite as long. Still quite a bit smaller actually except for width so handles way differently. Really the 903a is probably pretty good as it sits. It’s just like the 901a I have but different body. Maybe some better tires as I don’t care for the one sir comes with too much, but I’d say enjoy that one how it is otherwise.
Man you make nice videos, i like your style, plus i love your frankenstein rc car and i am jealous with the good way of course. You must start produce this rc car exactly how you transformed it, i want it exactly how you made it.
Thanks! I’ll see if I can get a factory in the works! 🤣
Pure backyard scientist vibes! What a brilliant little creation.
Personally, I would live to see how the small tires with a 16t pinion would perform. The extra wheel speed, might give you the air control you like, while maintaining drifting characteristics.
Thanks! Ya now that I know it won’t cog, I probably will go with a 16.
I also have conversion planned for a second pro 16889 and my EC30B 👍👍
Quickly becoming my favorite RC channel!
It’s different than any other channel and I love the rapid fire editing. You get so much in one episode I’m almost out of breath when it’s over.
I’m usually laughing so hard I have to pause the video so I don’t miss anything, and your son is a great driver for being so young.
You might have to do a derby episode but I don’t think the rest of the country pays attention to it.
You rock!
Thanks man I appreciate that!
That’s my main goal is to make videos as fun and informative as possible!!
I’ll have to mention the derby. Hopefully I can get my next video done to be released on derby day, but you’re right most other states don’t seem to know much about it.
Cool build, that thing is tough as nails 👍🏻
Thanks! Yes it is 👍🔥🤘
nice! hope we will see a franken MJX too!
Thanks!
Maybe!
Love the channel, bro! You're getting right up there with Talbot and Tomley, and you're actually a fellow American 😂
Thanks man!!
Born and bred!! 🤣
I really enjoyed the video but was not really paying attention to it the car looks 👍 with the ones you liked
Lol well I’m glad you enjoyed it 😂
Love the build keep up the great work. Maybe a mini e Revo talon tires an wheels
Thanks!! Yes those may work nicely. Still haven’t tried anything else yet but will soon. Been running with those stock 1/16 wheels for now! So fun!
Cool 👍👍💯
Thanks!
The big tires and a little tires that was awesome
I agree! The mediums were way too bouncy
The whole modifications was awesome
Thanks!
That work bench, look how clinical and organised it is..... it's how I'd imagine a surgeon's operating theatre to be like 😂 Another Great video 👍
They say your bench is as organized as your mind. And that would be true!
Actually no one says that but it certainly matches my situation 🤣🤣
Still organizing my whole garage. Got more shelves to build. Only been here for 3 months so it’s a work in progress 😀
Hey Derby, I really enjoy watching your videos. Your family is also very nice and funny, but you talk so fast, I had to slow down by 75% to write, because what you say is important! Keep it up😁🤘🏻
Haha yes I do! I’ve tried slowing down just a bit. Trying to lay off the caffeine!
💯 cool cheers Derby city
Thanks bro!
So Sick!! That stance is epic and looked as if it ran really well.
Awesome video, as always! Thank you for all the GREAT content! Can’t wait to see the new toy y’all got!
And just a quick question, Do you still play around with the 1/14 scale rlaarlo (mini kraton) at all??
Have you had any servo problems with it yet?
Thanks! Ya it runs great just need to find better shocks and will maybe stick with those bigger tires. The medium ones were way too bouncy.
I haven’t fixed the mini Kraton so. E I broke it in my 3s video on it, but I plan to I think. Probably some metal diff housings too, just not sure when.
I caught a peek of your ridged stackable tool boxes, I'm in construction and those are one of the best things I've ever bought! No more having to worry about my tools on rainy days in the back of my pickup and no longer need to swap my pickup for a lame van lol. They are great! Oh also very cool video! Are you in a trade as well?
Funny enough I rarely use those boxes. Mainly cuz I’m having trouble deciding what I want to keep in there. A lot of times I just put what I need in it for an outside job if it’s not close to where I have to park.
I actually own a handyman business so I do mostly small tasks, though you wouldn’t know it as my garage there is mostly full of work stuff. Quite a few RCs too though!
The build of the rc car was sweet
Thanks!
Wow! 👍💪🔥!!
Glad you like!
I just picked up the HBX "Flameline" drifter RC and looks like I'll be trying a similar experiment ASAP! Loved this and hope it only gets better. Thanks for the inspiration, also what about the 2995's shox on that bad boy instead?
Awesome!
And thanks!
The red shocks I have in the 2995 are too long. I tried them on my 901a a while ago and they really didn’t work well, but there are shorter versions of them I’ll measure up or I’ll find a way to get the longer shocks in there. Needs more dampening for sure! That’s the main setback of this project.
The brushed 903 vanguard esc runs great on 3s but dunno about the brushless one
The brushless 903a hd the same chassis as the 901a so may share the same esc as well and for me it delayed on full throttle and not long after it cooked the original esc. Only a 30c battery. Other people have done it with no problem though lol. I’ve heard it both ways pretty equally.
@5:04 lol i laughed my azz off hahaha
🤣🤣 happy to hear it!
Frankenstein Spider monster truck! Mate work in HBX would be easy..apply to Losi!or to kyosho to see some really interesting RCs! Great content!👍💪
Thanks!!
I had some fun with an El Toro Loco car recently, I'll have the video up soon!
Sweet!!! I’ll have to see that!
Epic. Such great attention to detail, both on the truck and the video.
I picked up one of these little go-getters after seeing your reviews, and have been extremely impressed with it. My stock springs are all leaking and its spinning out real easy now. I want to pimp it out like this with the wider arms and bigger wheels. Seems like the bigger wheels help the most with clearance and general bashability, is it worth getting another set that isn't so grippy, maybe a bit thinner width or harder compound? I'd love to know what the power to weight ratio before and after. Can't wait to see where it ends up!
Thanks!!
Yes a couple different sets of wheels would be good. I really like the biggest wheels I used on it, and then the stock small wheels (just not for jumps). The medium ones handle horribly on this lol. Definitely recommend all these upgrades as it’s a blast to drive!
Great video. You really should make a list of all the china brands that share parts. As well as the ones you can swap parts onto or slightly modify to fit.
Thanks!
Well I don’t know them all lol.
This was all on trial as the video was made 😃
@@DerbyCityRC Brother you r the authority on these china brands. I don't think anyone else on you tube is doing what you are with these trucks, and I have searched the internet for any kind of parts cross references and there are none. It's been thru your videos that I have learned the most about these china brands. There r lots of ppl that would get into this hobby if they didn't think they had to buy a slow brushed vehicle for only 100 or so less than the next line up to get started, mainly because the parts are available. Now we have Amazon, bangood and others stocking parts for the china brands that are not expensive and it's making it more accessible for those who want a brushless capable vehicle that's 1\2 the price of the top brands. Having a parts cross reference list and vids showing commonality would b an excellent boost for the hobby. Just a thought, love your vids and the choice of music! Keep bashing!
Thanks man!! I’ll be working on an RC for beginners video that I hoping will help alot of people find the hobby and stay in it. Topics like this will be in there for sure!
You must be my long lost brother!!! Love it!!!
Subscribed👍🏻
Tell me how I can widen my rustler4x4
Haha, hey bro!
Thanks!
I don’t have any traxxas products yet so I don’t know 😢
@@DerbyCityRC no worries, so would you say this is the best 1/14-1/16 truck out there? It definitely took a beating
I think this is the car you were talking about that’s wider. Custom Frankensteined lol
This is one of my favorite 1/16 scales. Especially with it built like this. I have another video in the works with a few more upgrades making it near perfect.
My favorite stock 1/16 is the blue car from Temu.
And my favorite 1/12 is my latest video from a few days ago.
Good idea for RC resurrection, who do you use for parts for the 2995 ?.Thanks for another awesome vid
Thanks!!
Only place I can find 2995 parts is from Haiboxing-hobby.com.
You may have to contact them if the parts you need are not listed
That is just an awesome video. Wow .
Where can i get those suspention fluids from?
Thanks man! One of my favorites for sure!
Here is the fluid kit: amzn.to/4bmXFqR
I'm brand new to the hobby and your videos are honestly some of the best and most informative. Your editing skills are top notch. I ended up getting a couple amazon special hosim hb17's on sale (brushless mjx hypergo clones?) I already burned out a steering servo on one, do you know of any aftermarket servo that fits the hypergo hosim Chassis? Or is sticking with oem the best bet?
That’s great to hear!!
Honestly I’d stick with stock, but that’s mainly cuz I don’t know which aftermarket’s fit yet. Servos don’t seem to be a weak point so maybe yours was weak to begin with. 👍👍
I am interested in this car. it would have been cool to see a before drive with full speed cornering vs the frankentruck
I hear ya, and I should have added that. I just have so many videos on it in stock form it would have felt repetitive for a lot of people.
I have a video coming soon with a couple more upgrades on it (better tires and shocks) and it’s so much better!
I can link you the initial review of that car if you want to see it stock.
😂😂😂😂 I laugh my ass off nice video and I learned a lot looking forward to a new build
Haha! Thanks. More builds on the future for sure!
BABY ARRMA TALION: use hosim G172 body. It's a talion replica, and also look at kyosho mad van wheels are super lightweight and hyper go spoiler for that complete killer look ARRMA 🔥
Thanks! I’ll look for the mad van wheels
What bigger wheels and tires work on the hbx ravage pro? Thanks.
Man I freakin LOVE this build!!! I wish I could find the EC30 chassis in the US. Do you know of any comparable longer chassis?
Glad you like it! So I believe the new HBX 2105a has that chassis. I haven’t gotten mine in the mail yet to verify though. So if you can find the chassis for that car, that should work. The 2105a isn’t wide like this build so still better probably 🤣
Awesome build you should contact HBX or hyper go and see if they will make a Derby city special. We would by a few.
I may do that 👍
I was the 200th like. Do i get anything?. Lol. Great video. I have the stock. With monster tires. Can't kill it.
*Sends digital cookie 🍪 *
Thanks man I really appreciate it!
Yes they are beasts and do very well with larger tires!! 🔥🔥🔥
Ec30b driveshaft works
That’s good to know. I figured it may since it has the metals but I didn’t want to take that one apart. We use it a lot and have plans for that one soon.
damn man your gonna cost me a fortune. The 30amp hobbywing ESC was finally tried today with a 3s 1300mah battery. First problem....the battery looked like it would fit until i put it next to my fc600 and realised there was no way. That was annoying as I thought if I can squeeze a 2s 1800mah in then a 3s 1300mah should be fine.....NOPE!
I just jammed it under the body and it sufficed for a test.
Holy 'stuff' it flies. The 30amp hobbywing had no issues so I guess 30amp on 1/16 is fine as long as it is quality.
Yes your build is pretty cool, it must be nice to have endless donor cars to rob. I would like to see it with short arms as well or are there no 'mid' arms? You can double up the shocks at the back, front and back of the rear arms.
I bought some replacement wheels/tyres + a Pickup body (yellow with black wheels) and now i need the body mounts and I have suddenly realised I had spent £30 and I could have bought a entire brushed car with the body I wanted for £60. I really should have just done that for spares even if plastic, hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I was trying to see from your video if i could reverse the side my servo is. I think it looks like a yes just need to fix it down. That is one way i could get battery space.
I need one of those battery trays 3d printed that I found on internet.
Anyone in UK willing to print me one or two....or three? ill cover costs with paypal of course.
Thanks!
The “donor” cars all have plans so they’re not wasted.
Also, I am going to be rebuilding my hbx pro with the longer chassis and standard hbx 16889 arms, so that will be happening too eventually. I almost got the quicrun for this and probably will.
🎉
🔥🔥
Awesome videos, I like how you’re helping people choose what budget models hold up the best and are worth upgrading. Do you know if the 2995’s are still available? I’m in Canada and looking to pick up a couple for me and my son to use and upgrade to brushless down the road when he gets some practice driving on the brushed setup, but I’m having trouble finding anything here or somewhere that will ship to Canada for a reasonable price.
Looks like Amazon US does international shipping to Canada, so you might want to look into how to do that. Hopefully there isn't some big price upper to do that. The 2995 as a whole car is not in many places anymore.
Thanks! I do feel the 2995 is still one of the best options to get, learn on, then upgrade later. I feel like Amazon is it. You can probably get it but may have higher shipping. Does this link work?
amzn.to/3SmvKkh
Yes, that link does work but unfortunately it says currently unavailable. Thanks though.
Well that stinks, for me it shows 2 day delivery. I’d say just keep checking, I know it’s been available up there before.
You’re welcome!
@Derby City RC what do you think of the hbx903a?
I’ve got a video on it, then another video comparing it to the 2996a. It’s ok, but nothing special in my opinion. If you haven’t seen my video on the new 2997a, I’d recommend checking out that one.
Dude show us how to build the ramps that u have! Pls!!
Here ya go man!
It’s an old video so have a bit of patience 🤣 th-cam.com/video/SnyqYnSc84o/w-d-xo.html
Do you think I could run that longer chassis on the MJX diff and arms? I love my MJX, I just want it to have a longer wheelbase
I believe you could, but haven’t been able to verify yet. 👍
Do those tired all use the same hex ? Or do you need to use adapters?
Oleeeeedeeeed
Exactly!
@@DerbyCityRC Oleeeeee torero. Una gran idea para uno de los mejores youtuber de rc
Thanks my friend! 😊
Another great video!
So I got this as my first truck and loved it with the bigger tires, buuuttt I destroyed the differential too lol other than replacing it, what other things can I do to really top off this things durability?
Well like on this video I used the hbx 2995 diffs. They work but you may have to swap the diff cups since the axles are smaller. Not actually sure if these diffs are stronger or not but they’re way stronger in the 2995 cuz it has a center diff as well, and that takes a lot of strain of the rest of the drivetrain.
@@DerbyCityRC that's a good point! I'll definitely check those out. Thanks brotha 🍻
@@DerbyCityRC oh! And keep up the great content. Love your videos
Thanks I will!!!
Awesome build…but it’s not the HBX 16889A pro anymore😅
Not really 🤣 I renamed it the HBX pro franken-monster!
You made a bad ass fake baby Arrma 😂 seriously though this is awesome
Haha, pretty much. 🤣
Thanks!! 🔥👍
Can you put it on original suspension and wheels and tires? With longer chassis I would like to see if that makes a huge difference in the way it handles
You mean original arms axles and everything, just keep the long chassis?
I was going to do that, and I still might, but then they came out with the 2105a which is pretty much exactly that.
The review on that car will be out either tomorrow or Saturday
Nice mashup dude! You HAVE to checkout the redcat kaiju 6s (V1) . Indestructible truck with loads of power, I run mine on 5s and it loves it . Highly recommend that and the Losi LMT.
Thanks! I see so many mixed reviews on the kaju lol. I do want it though. I had a new Redcat in the background of part of this video to see if anyone noticed lol. Reviewing it next. Not a Kaiju though.
I would love an LMT and is definitely on the list of soonies.
Maybe they’ll have a v2 soon with stronger axles!
@Derby City RC I seen it! Mt10e is badass! Lol. And losi just released a V2 of sorts its the TLR tuned LMT builders kit with alot of updates.
Looking forward to that mt10 review!
Haha! You found it.
Coming next probably!
And btw that’s not what’s in the box from the Netherlands lol
It’s nothing magnificent but I’m definitely excited for it
Awesome build. Seems like it might be close to a 903a rtr?
Thanks! Actually while it seems pretty close, it’s quite different. Same width, but it’s shorter, lower, faster, and drifts much better lol
@@DerbyCityRC Copy that, looks like a ripper! I ordered my first hbx today. Your videos sealed the deal for me. Thanks
Glad to hear that!!
Can you make a video on sg1201/or udi rc 1202
It comes brushless and brushed
Where can one find it besides Ali?
If Banggood gets it I may be able to snag one.
@@DerbyCityRC i think it is available on banggood
I’ll look for it!
