i am subscribed to many RC channels and you are top 2. In fact this is the only channel i clicked the bell icon for. I love you race other drivers in different rigs, something very unique to this channel. Hoping you get up to 500k subs so you can test more RCs out
Thank you so much! We're going out filming today, and comments like yours really put wind in our sails! We're testing the new Rlaarlo rally car today and finishing a video we're doing on the Traxxas fiesta ST rally car as well. Lots of mixed racing in both! Btw that new RLAARLO is something else. They did a great job.
@@Rek_Rc Im new to the RC hobby so i'm scared to venture into to budget realm for now but the videos you've been putting up are giving much needed attention to nonArrma and nonTraxxas rigs, although i am a Arrma fanboy. Also loved the content you had on the Redcat Valkyrie!
Thank you for another fantastic video.!! It's always a good day when I get to watch one of your videos.!! 👍 👍 👍 Please stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍
@@Rek_Rc you might need to install the wide maxx kit so the tires don't rub on the body mounts and shock extensions (or Sledge rear shocks all the way around what I like to do soon) that's what I did. And a little body trimming and wallah and ripping mean mean animal
I replaced the top part of the Sledge shocks from stock plastic tops with knockoff Chinese aluminum ones and they are not breaking nor leaking oil. Just “sayin”
We're very lucky that our local park offers so much for any RC type to show their stuff. That park has it all except a skatepark. But even that is only 10 mins away from our usual location.
Go Pros are pretty tough. I have 2 with the screen cracked and they are still working perfectly. When it comes to short course cars they are very good for cornering. Have you had the chance to drive a Arrma Mojave 4S BLX ? I just wonder how it compares to Traxxas. I really should get one some day. They look super fun to drive.
@Rek_Rc im in Australia and getting into rc racing, i was looking at the maverik quantum v1 for 350 au (around 450 usd prob) with 2 batterys and charger, or the mjx hyper go 10208 which i found on aliexpress for au 260 (about 350 us dollars) should i consider changing to the redcat? the price is a bit higher tho,
I absolutely do not like Traxxas's business tactics & litigious nature towards much smaller RC companies... But... I do like some of their RCs... Also, Traxxas are ridiculously expensive here in the UK, like consistently 30% more than other brands.! £600/$780 for a TRX4. £260/$360 for a brushed, 2wd Slash.!! £290/$380 for the new Mini Maxx.. I could go on but you get the point.! 😉
I agree, it's like Traxxas thinks they're the only RC company sometimes. Guess they forget Team Associated has almost 20 years and 38 world championships over them hahahaha.
Now put those tires on a Mojave and you'll discover a new best handling truck... that traxxas will never be able to out perform due to their incorrect motor placement.
@stp440 I feel the same way about awesome people like yourself who engage with our content through comments. It means a lot to, not only myself, but the entire Rek RC crew, and these are 5 of us. You don't see all of us in every video but you see myself, Tado, Adam, most of the time since Adam came aboard. but also Tony, Marvin and Sydney often as well. People like you who watch, comment, and in your case offer a little constructive criticism really makes our day, and helps us improve. We especially like seeing others talking with one another in our comment sections. That's a community.
No offense, but Hoons are expensive and don't last very long. If that's a solution for better handling, then you might as well be driving on $20 bills, they'd last about as long as Hoons do. I'm only complaining because I own a Felony myself. It's a lot less fun to own an RC when it costs $80 to run it for an hour 😂😢 Fun video though, I'll not deny that. Hoons are great tires, they just disappear into unicorn dust too quickly. Which makes me a sad panda. Granted, they probably last 2-3 times as long on the Slash.

Another Benny of running those smaller tires is it runs so much cooler. That thing rails dude!
I can't believe the difference in how it handles. I may have lost a bit of speed, but not enough to matter and the handle increase is well worth it.
Thanks 🙏 nice video and driving 😊
Awesome 🔥🤘🏻
Thank you buddy
Haha. Rek by name Rek by nature. Go smash dude!!!
HECK YEAH, bashing and laughing
Really cool at a high speed drift and drag.
Thank you, and I appreciate the comment.
You should try a Tekno.
Great video 👍
Yep, I really need to get a Tekno on. I've never heard a bad word about them.
You need a light kit for it. I just got my brand new maxx slash 2 months ago. I got the green one and I got the light kit for it
Adam was saying the exact same thing. I think it would look good in that truck too.
Thank you for another fantastic video.!!
It's always a good day when I get to watch one of your videos.!! 👍 👍 👍

We really appreciate your kind comments, thank you so much, we love the positivity.
I run arrma 4s copperhead dboots on my Maxx Slash
And it's a mean mean animal
Love the channel Rek RC
I'll have to give those a try on mine. Thanks for taking the time to drop a line as well, we really appreciate it!

I used the wheels from the Arrma outcast 4s 1/10th scale on my Traxxas Sledge 6s and it was not bad at all.
I replaced the top part of the Sledge shocks from stock plastic tops with knockoff Chinese aluminum ones and they are not breaking nor leaking oil. Just “sayin”
Yup it does handles better then a sledge
Yeah, but I still want to try a sledge, I've never driven one but I like them.
@@Rek_Rc oh you’re gonna like this sledge the sledge is an awesome truck. I got another sledge on the way my 3rd one
Should try tyres like these on other Short Course trucks like SC10 Pro4.
Good idea, and it just so happens I have an SC10 Pro4. I'll have to give that a go. That truck handles pretty good already so I'm curious.
@@Rek_Rc which Hoons did you try on the Max Slash?
Love the channel fella's! Who puts the red dirt on the bitumen? So good they do that as you have all surfaces to rip and race on.. Love the content ..
I know, right?
Most of the places I drive only trash gets added to the road, not good stuff.

Yep, the Mojave 4s drives like a dream out of the box. They're really smooth too.

also this channel is gonna blow up for sure all the best luck mate
That's very cool friend. We have a RC car too, would u like to check?
Sure!
@@Rek_Rc Super happy. let me email u friend.
@@Rek_Rc how can I contact to u friend?
@@NancyLan-h2g feel free! My contact email is on the "about" section of my channel.
Have you ever drove the LC racing SCT? 😊 No mods necessary.
I've driven a TT but not a full on racing rig from Losi. But I've seen they are great.
Great video as usual man. Dig your content @@Rek_Rc

Mojave doesn't even have a gyro to imagine it with a gyro too 🤯
No Mercedes in the vicinity this time around. 😂😂😂
Hahahahaha, no, but I still had flashbacks!

These ones were actually on sale, 30 for a set of 4. That's the only reason we got them. They can be pricey regularly though
It does handle great, but jumps like crap.
Agreed. My fave thing to do is backflips etc
It lands like a brick
