Im just returning to RC recently but I love the idea of building up out of the box vehicles. Its like that sleeper you run into on the road. Other people making fun of it and not liking the idea makes it that much better.
I put the Furitek system in my grom its soo much fun for a little RC. Paired with all 4 of the Arrma Hopups the Steering links the shocks, the axels and the upgraded differentials Which since you added power should be considered.
Hot racing part number at Hobbytown, HRAGRM184A06 is the adjustable motor mount (16-30T). Only problem with it would be its blue. But it would match your build.
slick little ripper bro. i went to Shaw's track that saturday to run the ole EB48 2.2, but the track was loaded with 4real racers. lots of dope cars there.
@@MarkSantaMaria If it was up to girlfriend all my rc stuff would be in a storage unit. I have been collecting for over a decade and have a pretty big pile myself. Never sold one car. If you are in IT then the rc cars are necessary😅
I love it ! Mix and match. Whatever works my dude! I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and really enjoy your trips to the hobby shops. Take care and thank you for your content.
I have all three of the groms and even out of the box stock the gear mesh sounds really tight but I’ve never had a problem yet but since you are running 3s you should put the upgrade front and rear diffs in it either from power hobby or arrma if not you will blow the spider gears apart Trust me
@@MarkSantaMaria Heard quite a few people snapping the 2mm motor shaft on 2 in 1s when put into a Grom. Saw one guy say the solution was to program the ESC on them to be less aggressive. Also 6000Kv sounds...high. I know Kv values mean different things with motors of different sizes, but I have a 3800Kv 2838 brushless in my Typhon Grom and it feels about right. Love it on 3S.
Fyi those cars are .5 mod. 48p looks close but it's actually a hair bigger. Idk what pinions you've been trying but that could be your mesh issues. Could get a hot race motor mount that's adjustable.
As I’m watching this I see what appears to be a nitro then I remember that I started watching msm way back in the day when msm was nitro racing I’m not saying that the content msm is putting out is bad I personally love watching msm would just be nice to have like a old school nitro like tmaxx usa 1 really any nitro video every other week would be amazing anyways not by any means a bashing rant thank you mark for doing what you do !! James
Yea that’s what mine sounds about now stock and I didn’t put a new brushless system or pinion in mine so maybe I gotta adjust my pinion gear but I did do a unboxing review and run video in mine.
I'm not triggered at you mark you used what could work that you had on hand even if it's putting a Traxxas part into another brand RC. I'm looking at getting my first Spektrum radio and i plan to get the same DX6C you have first then someday moving up to an IXSR is there anything i should know about them before i buy my DX6C? I also plan to use AVC receivers with some Castle ESC'S.
Triggered? Lol. My Losi Nascar has a VXL-8s ESC with a Traxxas 540xl motor. On 6s it has been 83 mph. Looking for triple digits this weekend. A lot more room on that Grom chassis but still haven't figured out how to get 8s under the body. I'm running a small CNHL 1400Mah 6s on it now.
Love your vids however part of the community is programming unless ur a Traxxas nerd that likes plug and play put the castle in it and it’ll smoke that velenium
And then he’d have less content, and there’s less chance of making mistakes. Here in the uk there’s only one hobby shop I know of thats like the store Mark was in but it’s like a 4 hour drive from me but if there was one closer I would deffo spend my money at an independent store rather than Amazon or eBay. We don’t have swap meets or anything like that which is annoying aswell 😂
@@JoeyAcerc prolly the new Hobbywing fusion 16 if it’s going in a grom, waterproof and the motor has a built in esc which saves a lot of space and drops a bit of weight
Hi mark love your channel do you have a Arrma felony I’m trying to put together a felony challenge let me know if your interested H and w racing channel
Back when tamiya came out i had money & going in my hobby store i was like a women in a shoe or dress shop im not kidding . Now im going back because a customer said i can pay me a dlash 2wd & i took it for payment . Ha.ng me already i went back to my store from not being their in 20 some years & traxas has ruled this store wow what s trip . I ran into the owner & he said its changed a lot no crap . His store of the rc department is the size of the isle in ur store .
Dude!! storage shed on top of all the stuff in your house? Man, you may need some professional help. That makes me nervous for you. Even if you’re getting it for free. Maybe you should start a RC shop or something to sell your stuff out of or make some type of business out of this situation.
You using the word build triggered us bc you've never built a car from just a chassis. You just unbox ready to runs... can mark actually build a car from scratch? The world may never know 😂
So you know and can get in the habit. The Hobbytown franchise has rebranded with the merger with Amain, only Hobbytown. They took off the USA so they can go international at some point. Oh joys. So when making videos you’re welcome to say how it is but every store is having to take off the USA. That store is in danger of being out of compliance.
Need dremel out casing for rear n front,spur rubs, especially with hot racing, I hear it rubbing in every vidio,nobody catching it or just not telling us
IC2??? No such thing. IC3 is the same as Ec3 except with no sensor wire. Same with IC5 is the same as EC5 with no sensor wire. You can run it either way just won’t be censored! 😜
Im just returning to RC recently but I love the idea of building up out of the box vehicles. Its like that sleeper you run into on the road. Other people making fun of it and not liking the idea makes it that much better.
Nothing using what you have. Don't worry about other people just keep doing what you love. Love all your videos.
I like the mix and match!!!
Open class has NO rules!!!
Track was built today!!

TY SIR!
@@MarkSantaMaria your welcome. Anytime I comment it’s to only help.
Need to get you up here in the PNW not Idaho lol for some RC fun!!
slick little ripper bro. i went to Shaw's track that saturday to run the ole EB48 2.2, but the track was loaded with 4real racers. lots of dope cars there.
Not a bad choice going with the 3m system. They're super quick and very reliable.
you have a storage unit full of RC cars you need professional HELP !!!
Dude fr loll that’s goals tho honestly
Nah fam let him!!!! I think thats crazy
that was just 1 of the storage units full of rc cars.... smh.... I'll get help.... hahaha
Thats to keep the wife from asking to many questions. I know that trick. 😁

OMG! Barry making us proud 👑🐄🙏
lol... that box is tailor made for Barry... hahaha!
Mesh sounds good to me 👌 use what you have, use what you know!!
It's a build! Who cares what you put in or do!!👍👍🛸😎👽
Really cool build😊
Nothing wrong with simple and easy!
That's weird you changed the castle system out for stock traxxas stuff 😂😂 Good lord .
I love it ! Mix and match. Whatever works my dude!
I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and really enjoy your trips to the hobby shops. Take care and thank you for your content.
Traxxas tsm receiver is all you need now with a tqi radio
I have the same system in my granite grom! It is a animal! You will love it!
Wow it fit in there
I got that Castle setup in mine running 4s......its absurd.
I put a mamba micro in my latrax teton and it fit perfect 👌
Could we get a rough weight of the standard car and the weight of the one loaded with brass
I have all three of the groms and even out of the box stock the gear mesh sounds really tight but I’ve never had a problem yet but since you are running 3s you should put the upgrade front and rear diffs in it either from power hobby or arrma if not you will blow the spider gears apart Trust me
Mark has money and he spends money. Good for him for real only live once.
wish hobbytown would come back to Vegas 🤣
LCRacing makes a lot of 1/8" mod 0.5 pinions to work on those Castle motors
Every RC I have has parts from at least 3 different brands! If it works, it just works!😊
A hobbywing Fusion 16 with built in ESC in the motor would be perfect.
I had the dynamite 2 in 1 i thought about putting in. The one used for the mini bs however i was worried it didnt have enough power.

Have you ever measured different brands of pinions to see if they vary ??
Fyi those cars are .5 mod. 48p looks close but it's actually a hair bigger. Idk what pinions you've been trying but that could be your mesh issues. Could get a hot race motor mount that's adjustable.
Damn $60 markup for that castle esc
Should use a Traxxas TQi to complete the set and really trigger people.
right! hahaha
Is that a vxl out of a 1/16 erevo?
Look into the sr2100 antenna less racing receiver.

What you got is just fine with me I have a sc10 team associated I had traxxas electronics in it because that's what I had 👌
Yea that’s what mine sounds about now stock and I didn’t put a new brushless system or pinion in mine so maybe I gotta adjust my pinion gear but I did do a unboxing review and run video in mine.

$200 for some micro electronics!? Sweet Moses the new Hobby wing 2-1 mini 16 brushless 3000k is $70 and runs 3S.
$70 for the roller and $170 for the esc 👍. That’s what’s up . Not triggered here . I like to do the same
Great video
Haha, I knew you put a Traxxas system in that grom as soon as you said it's going to trigger people.
im so predictable... haha
NICE…. SO WHEN IS THE LOSI DBXL-E 2.0 GOIN TO HIT THE CHANNEL ?? 😃😁🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Hey, you use whatever works right. That’s what I do.
Dude you seriously have a storage unit full of RCs?!?! I think I’m jealous! But that’s crazy bro! Are u hiding those ones from ur wife? lol!
Definitely jealous lol!!!!
You forgot the HR servo, esc mount
oh man im laughin at that situation goin on under the hood. that is perfect! bahahaha nice!
Can you show all the used cars for sale next time? Thats my local store
We build a dirt track 4 r locals 2 come race these things r a blast..hello yall

That s a ripper

It's a traxxas motor,yes! Lol got Dremel tha case around spur man ,I'm telling you
You swapped a Castle Creations System for a Traxxas? 😮 ohhhh don’t tell anyone 😂😂😂😂
I can't to start my new 67 Mustang 2wd Slash project
That lucky find definitely wasn't staged, just wondering why that was the only hand written sign in the case.
You're gonna need a pinion mark........
Love your vids however part of the community is programming unless ur a Traxxas nerd that likes plug and play put the castle in it and it’ll smoke that velenium
wow to the speedo.😐
You should have just went online and got yourself a $50 motor that would be just as fast
Wats a good motor up grade for the typoohn
And then he’d have less content, and there’s less chance of making mistakes.

@4:10 he ment to say iC3 to iC2 don’t go to the store asking for a 5 to 2 lol they won’t have it. Haha
you're right... I'll put a link in the description
get a 3d printer and next time you could print the servo mount in a strong plastic
This is for you guys that say Traxxas electronics suck 👍🏻

I can help you take some of those rc cars
Dont be sorry. Plug and play can't be beat. For free? Even better. Represent the "On the cheap RC Guy", like me. Good luck.
I’m not triggered…. I’m just disappointed. lol. Use what u got bruh!
I put a vxl in my Gorgon
we all knew you were going to use traxxas not sure why you even picked up the CC set up.
Nah get them temu way cheaper, ovonics and zee batteries, just fine
We race box stock typhoons and mojave groms. Box stock steering is garbage. Please show steering option lol

didnt know that... thanks for the heads up!
I mean spectrum batteries and electronics are getting overpriced like Traxxas so it’s fair enough…
Ur not smart enough to download a castle app and plug in the esc to the adapter hahahhahaha wow 😂
