Very cool! I still can’t get over the details in the axles. Just like the real thing just mini. I’d have just as much fun working on them as I would running them with all the upgrades. Great looking Bigfoot! The speed difference is crazy 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Heck yea!!!! It came out great!!! I have the same motor set up sitting on my work bench. I cant decide which rig should get it!!! I have seen a few peeps install the brushless motor with their 2 speed tranny. Which gives you the best of both worlds low speed crawl and high speed bash. For my set up on shocks is, I like soft springs with a heavier oil. The bounce is greatly reduced.👍👍👍
Thank you sir. I'll have to try that. I'm very curious to see how fast this thing would be using the brushless, 2 speed, and the high speed gears in the 2 speed. I think it would easily hit 15mph but that might be too much to control.😂 One thing I noticed that I was gonna mention on the video is on the instruction sheet for the brushless, they confirm that there will be a servo setup coming for the 2 speed tranny.😎
@@TandTRC This little guy would rip with the 2 speed. I'm no expert but I would go with a softer spring and lighter oil all 8 shocks to compensate for the lack of foam in the tires.
I thought so too. This was one of the bounciest, shakiest cars it will be on too so it should be even smoother on other stuff. Thinking about how to do some kind of first person view on the main channel now.😂
@@gingerman6560 Definitely. Really curious to see how it compares to the Granite Grom. So far it's been a fantastic little car. I actually realized there is a shop about 35 minutes from me that is on Traxxas' dealer list, so I thought I might head down there and see if they can preorder it for me.
Welcome back to the hobby. I came back after a long time off myself a few years ago. Bigfoot just might be a contender against the Federal Punch, maybe use it to haul the "Jelly Contraption" for your other videos.😂 if you lived close to Columbia, SC, we could put together some fun videos. Keep having fun. Subbed 👍
I'm like you I get just as much enjoyment out of wrenching on them as I do running them, it turned out great almost to pretty to bash. After years of trial and error I don't upgrade anything anymore till it breaks, too many times I did the whole aluminum upgrades on everything only to go out bashing and break something else it just finds the next weakest link. Can't wait to see what you get into the further you get back into it.
Long time subscriber from your other channel....nice cars & track . I have wild guess on that car u mentioned it's been out a while & they re did it .. the mud boss lol .. welcome back to the hobby..I run the team corrally asuga xlr on 6s up & down my block 60 mph out the box ..fun fact keep those lipo batteries in a lipo fire poof bag ..they catch fire sometimes brother & a battery charger that dis charges them to storage mod if you don't use them for awhile & charges all cells evenly. Thought ill share that since u always share information videos ballistics I appreciated you..keep up the amazing videos on both channels big thumbs up. If you want to try a fast rc out the box try ..the asuga xlr on 6s 8th scale buggy ..it's a monster rocket so fast
These little things are fun. All kinds of different ways to set em up for crawling, trailing, or bashing around like this. I'll probably turn one of mine into a dedicated crawler soon.
Excellent my friend all around great video and super educational. On-board camera was great. Loved the video from beginning to end. Very informational. Question? Are you buying the trucks and mods on line? Or do you all have a descent RC shop? Nigh and day difference in the truck. Very good start for the channel on modification and upgrades. Have fun and be safe. Thanks for sharing and the time spent on the video. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you sir! Right now I'm buying everything online. When I was into it years ago there was a shop locally, but they have long since closed down. I did actually realize that one of the shops some of my Amazon stuff came from is about 35 minutes away. Gonna have to do a road trip video soon to check it out.
Big improvement for the speed. I'm guessing it doesn’t have oil shocks on it now? Looks like the shocks are rebounding too fast, either oil shocks or thicker oil should help that. It doesn’t have much shock travel so that might just be how it is, I'd play around with the shocks though. Hope that helps. The shocks might be bottoming out when it lands also.
The MT ones come with 4 of the 8 shocks oil filled to purposely give it the monster truck bounce. I might be able to get away with just some softer springs. I don't wanna take all the bounce out, but I'd like to stay on the wheels at least half the time.😂
@@TandTRC the older style monster trucks sure did bounce a lot. I would say it being a small scale and the 4mph it wasn't made to jump distance that might just be how it is. Maybe a taller and wider tire and wheel might help and still be in the old school monster truck. Those tires are more fitting to the 48s that Bigfoot 1 ran, it ran the 48s and 66s.
I switched the 4 shocks that don’t have oil for ones that do, and that has stopped mine falling over when landing. Kept the same springs. I can wheelie off the coffee table and it lands and stays upright every time
Nice. I might do that if I decide to get fancy and put some aluminum ones on it. I did actually get some foams for the tires since I realized they weren't glued. I took one of the preload spacers out of the rear on each side too and that has seemed to help a lot.

It is pretty wild how close they are to the real things. The nitro ones even more.
Huge improvement. My pocketbook doesn’t need another hobby but your videos sure do create a hankering
Especially expensive when modifying is just as much fun as driving them.😂
@@TandTRC I’m a tinkerer. I modify everything. Can’t leave shit alone

Truck looks great. Those upgrades sure made a difference in appearance and performance.
Appreciate ya, brother!😎👊
ON board camera was AWESOME
Thank you sir. I thought it came out good too. Pretty stable for so much movement.
Link to the camera please?
@@WytesOwnley amzn.to/3UwVVoY 😎👍
Great video. Love the build! Going through the whole upgrade was really cool!!!!
Thank you sir.😎👊
I'm 48 and grew up loving Big Foot...
They look like spaceships nowadays.
Huge Bigfoot fan. Great build. I just subscribed to your channel.👍👍👍👍
Thank you sir. Appreciate that!😎👊
That turned out awesome!
Thank you sir.😎👊
Love the big foot look.
Pretty slick!
I can see you getting a fancy rc tank and upgrading the cannon with a laser sight and modify it to fire 22 Lr! ❤😂
😈
The onboard view is really cool. 🇺🇸
I thought so too. This was one of the bounciest, shakiest cars it will be on too so it should be even smoother on other stuff. Thinking about how to do some kind of first person view on the main channel now.😂
@@TandTRC ya that would be awesome! 🇺🇸
Truck looks great bud. This is how it should be sold
Thank you sir. Totally agree. It actually feels like a little mini monster truck now.😎👊
@@TandTRC you planning on ordering a mini maxx? That would be a good size and speed for your track?
@@gingerman6560 Definitely. Really curious to see how it compares to the Granite Grom. So far it's been a fantastic little car. I actually realized there is a shop about 35 minutes from me that is on Traxxas' dealer list, so I thought I might head down there and see if they can preorder it for me.
@@TandTRC from what I've seen it looks overbuilt and 3s capable. I think its gonna spank the grom
Treal trx4mt aluminum beadlocks help it a lot in the handling department. Keeps it planted.
I might need to check those out. I actually just made an impulse buy on another one from Ebay.😆
Dang! Bigfoot needs a wheelie bar! 😎💪🏻 Definitely needs softer suspension. That’ll calm the bounce. Help it hug the track.
Yeah, that asphalt was scratchin up my bumper.😆

Definitely looks better and faster
Yessir 😎👊
Another great video Brotha ..
Thank you sir!😎👊
I do think softer springs will help
Definitely gonna try that.

Thank you sir. Appreciate that. I was actually checking out that Mud Boss the other day. That would definitely be right at home on this dirt oval.
I've got an old axial wraith but I may need to pick up one of those trx4s and get back into crawling.
