Your pumpkin build is proving very influential for hopping up my son's lunchbox. So far just bearings and shocks but planning for camber fix and maybe chassis extension.
Lots of great stuff coming up! That CW01 front end kit I have looked into before, I see they have upgraded it to make it even tougher! That should really improve the handling and keep the front end planted with the extra weight! Looking forward to seeing it and everything else you have going on!
Tge qd midnight pumpkin was my first hobby grade RC, followed up by my cousins clapped out Blackfoot. The pumpkin and Blackfoot will always be my favorite RC’s
Ryan has some amazing stuff I have a racing clod chassis and clod upgrades from him and I recently bought a black edition lunchbox so will definitely be upgrading it after seeing this video 👍🏼😊
Goodstuff, buddy, looking forward to these videos coming from you! Ha ha, my Lunchbox has also just been sitting on the shelf since the 2022 speedrun challenge, I did actually have it off the shelf once, but that was to scavenge the ESC from it... 😜
Ah poor CW01's, we beat on them, catch them on fire, put them on the shelf, and expect them to pick up where we left off with them several years later. 😆😆😆
Fil!! Dude you are gonna make me spend more money 😅!! I can't wait to see the pumpkin hop ups! we spoke about the ampro parts a couple years ago! This kit looks stellar. What is the price comparison?
Ah sorry man! But hey, you've got all that sunshine and sand now, it's time to make use of it all! 😆 I think the UK Monsters kit was about $30 more than Ampro's kit. It wasn't cheap, about $100 CAD. 😳
Nice update, dude! Wow that Pumpkin is going to be the most rad RC in your collection, or anybody else's collection for that matter! Can't wait to see all those glorious hop-ups get fitted to what is already a bad boy! So you are already hopping-up that CC02, that should be an excellent runner when we finally get to see it out on the rocks. I'm also interested to see what you make of the MB01, I do love that Alfa body. As for the retro motors, it would be great to see some speed testing comparing them with modern equivalents. Have a great day Fil! 😎👊👍
Yes indeed, Mark, then plan is to make this the baddest Pumpkin this side of the pumpkin patch! Haha. I can't even imagine what it'll be like with a camber corrected front end. 😳👌
Yeah I think I'll start it off stock, and see where we go from there. This is my first MB01, so box stock will prove to be an ideal starting ground. 👍🏻
G'day Fil 😀 That pumpkin is a good looking thing!, it's hard to imagine that's your basher body!. I'm interested in seeing how you esc goes on the new build👌. Yeh electric motors are always interesting and your new box of motors looks great, nice score mate👍. Thanks for sharing your update video Fil, hope you're having a great week mate👍🤠🦘🇦🇺
Exciting times Fil! I know we have chatted before over our love for the mighty pumpkin, and the fact it was our first hobby grade RC..... that fact alone means they will always be special to us! Those are some seriously interesting hop ups that you have there mate, that front end kit looks off the radar! That thing is already seriously modded, all these new parts will take it up another level! I restored my very first pumpkin a few years back to original spec, she's now a retired shelfer (plastics are now getting very weak at nearly 40 years old) But, I do have a chrome edition new in box kit sitting in my unbiluilt kit collection..... you have got me thinking along the lines of a custom build project now! Your either highly inspirational, or a bad influence? 🤔😂 Loving the motor collection, I occasionally dabble with brushless.... but brushed is still where it's at for me! Loving the new release schedule of the channel man, firing red hot mate! 👍 👍 👍
Thanks again for the great comment, James. The MP is such an awesome truck, I'm glad to hear your shelfer is your original from 40 years ago. I threw my 1st MP away some time, probably when I started College. This one now is a rere from 2012ish. But yeah dude, lots more goodness coming at ya, so stay tuned my friend! 🍻👊🏼
@@poorboysrc 2012 re re? 🤔 Hmmm..... I'm guessing the only original part left is the gearbox? 🤔 But that in it's own right makes it more special, and of course it has the claim to fame that it was the car that started the whole POOR BOYS RC SPEED CHALLENGE.... something that is likely to become a world wide official sport if it keeps growing the way it is! 😂 Oh yeah, definitely staying tuned matey! 👍 👍 👍
I beat you to the front suspension modification I have two of them the gentleman at UK was phenomenal what an awesome awesome guy I spoke with him several times and he gave me a great deal because I was buying two units one for my midnight pumpkin and one for the lunch. He also threw in two servo relocation mounts and some motor cover heat sinks I have not started on the CCO one there's too many kids sitting around here. I've got the xr311 , Hummer M1025, Subaru Brat,, FAV, Jiinmy, Not ShotII, , Super Shot, and a memorial RX. Too many kids just hanging around. You mentioned your brushed motor collection I think I need to make a producer video and upload it as possibly my first video because my collection of old brushed not to mention the new brushed motors has gotten very extensive.. I have collected over 150 Old
Ah you beat me to this one, haha. I'm going to have to ask you for feedback on that UK Monsters CW01 front end kit then! 😆 I'm really looking forward to getting it installed. It looks like a good quality part. 👌
Hey Fil, can’t wait for the next Pumpkin instalment! Ive pretty much copied every upgrade you’ve done so far and was looking into getting some new A arms as I bent one of mine recently so that’s perfect timing 😊 The Pumpkin was my 1st RC when I was 11 and will always be my all time favourite RC 🙌🏼
Another fellow Pumpkin lover! Alright!!! Haha! That's impressive that you managed to bend a front arm and not break it. The MP is a tough little cookie, and I'm really excited to get it maxed out on upgrades. It's been asking for it since 1988, so I suppose it's only fair... 🤣🤣🤣
@@poorboysrc 😂😂 absolutely!! I think I need to upgrade the motor in mine, I’ve still got a Tamiya torque tuned at the moment and I think it needs a bit more juice now it’s full of aluminium 🤣 it doesn’t seem to wheelie since I upgraded the chassis.
Awesome upgrade kit for the Pumkin can't wait to see them fitted and Bashed. That's a nicely set out box of motors you got there, will you be testing them out or just keeping hold of them for your vintage builds, that would be a good idea, instead of running them.😊😊😊😊😊
I'm not sure if I should test them all out, or just plop them into builds and hope for the best.... It would be exciting to see what kind of speed they can make... 🤔👊🏼
I hear ya a, I'll never forget getting my Pumpkin, then a few months later my best friend got a Clod. It made the Pumpkin look like another Radio Shack toy! 😂
Good call on the UK Monsters front suspension, I have it on my Lunchbox A-Team Van (along with most of the rest of the UKM Hop Ups) and have enjoyed lots of success with it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts once it's on and running. It is indeed much tougher than the AmPro Engineering kit I've also had, which itself is an awesome transformation, however I broke a couple of arms when clipping kerbs with an RZ motor for power. I was using it well outside of the parameters set by AmPro, so no hard feelings there. Keep up the great work :)
Yeah the UK front end kit looks insanely overbuilt, which is what we want, haha. It's going to need to be able to take a beating. The delrin/aluminum construction is perfect! 👌
@@poorboysrcIt is delicate! Absolutely :D I can get a bit overwhelmed at sometimes as all the projects are fun! I've given myself sort of a tunnel vision, tomorrow I WILL fix the rear spur gear of my BSD Rampage! No other project! 😁😁😁
@@Heizekel77 I get that way sometimes too pal. Overwhelmed by projects, so I don't touch any of them for a week... lol! Gotta get them all done, bit by bit. 😆👊🏼
Hi Phil, I have a Tamiya CC02 truck. It is a Mercedes. I did get all of the Tamiya metal parts that I could get. I also got lots of GPM parts too. I installed a Holmes Hobbies 550 motor. I got Tamiya soft tires. It is not very good for crawling. It is to top heavy. If use it for basic crawling and a trail truck it is good for that. I do have a Midnight Pumpkin and also a Lunch Box. I I did install bearings in both and also shocks in both to help control the bounce. They are just fun to drive and not high performance. That is my opinion of course. Thoughts?
Oh yeah, the CW-01 is purely designed to put a smile on the face of the driver, and all others observing. Hahaha. It's not much of a performance machine, but what it lacks in track performance, it more than compensates for in overall enjoyment. 👍🏻🍻
Looking forward to the upgrades on the cc02 and pumkin, ive not done a lot with my cc02 but but plan to later this year 😎 and the lunchbox may get some hop ups after its done its 1h endurance race in july. If its still alive that is 😂
The Yeah Racing skid plate doesn't come with instructions. I have a video where I install it th-cam.com/video/NRVAH69Mvyo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jeAp_vpRjA2_dLfS and a video where I correct the install th-cam.com/video/A96dEdaj3v8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KjxgBDn5FdmuC2DF so you don't have to struggle like I did.
Oh wow, how do you resist the temptation to build? Haha! The MP is such a fun/wacky RC. From building it, to your first wheelie with it, it's just a super fun kit from start to finish. 👌👊🏼
@@poorboysrc I bought them years ago, put them with on the shelf with all my other kits and forgot about them. I think that they are the "Black Edition" kits though. I also have a Lunch Box that I was going to do the A-Team van for the body, and never got around to that either. lol I absolutely LOVE how you did yours, especially with those slicks!
Love your videos and your positive attitude. The world needs more of that. Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I'm happy to hear my videos can make your day a little brighter. 🤗👊🏼
Your pumpkin build is proving very influential for hopping up my son's lunchbox. So far just bearings and shocks but planning for camber fix and maybe chassis extension.
The CW01 loves getting hop ups! Your sons Lunchbox is gonna love more mods! 🤗
Nice up and coming. I love seeing the old brushed motors. I still have a few. A couple that you showed.
All those powder coated neon cans just make a guy smile from ear to ear, don't they? 😁
Nice projects. Really looking forward for the Midnight upgrades and the Alfa
Thanks Dirk. We made some good progress on them today, I can't wait to show you guys!

Nice update! Oh man I miss being out west right now. The Pumpkin looks amazing! Also looking forward to seeing the MB01. Cheers
West coast, best coast, they say! Haha. 👊🏼😉
Vintage Brushed motors is how you go 69 with a brushed TT02. I was running a 8 turn double!
Hahaha yes! The JYD way is the fastest way! 👌 😂
Always have your pants on while playing with an RC. Tire burn takes weeks to heal. LOL HAHAHA
Stay tuned for more of Joe's RC Tips! 😉 🤣🤣🤣🍻
Lots of goodies you got there man 👍
Thanks pal! I've got my hands full, that's for sure! 🤗

Thanks James. I can't wait to breathe some new life into this old Pumpkin! 😁
Nice update, Midnight Pumpkin your one is cool but I have to say Lunchbox for me but it was not my 1st RC 🙂MB-01 a cool chassis.
The CW01 is so much fun! It's one of the most enjoyable chassis' Tamiya has ever produced. 👍🏻🍻
@@poorboysrc Funny how its called the CW01 chassis now, I brought my 1st Lunchbox in 1986 CW01 not heard of until the re-issue came out🙂
@@BasBoyRC Yeah that is funny, isn't it? Tamiya didn't need to name the chassis until it got out of control. :)
@@poorboysrc 🙂
Nice one Fil, look forward to the upcoming content!
Thanks for watching!
I can still picture those motors in the showcase at the hobby store. Nice little collection
Absolutely! Remember seeing all that neon behind the counter under glass, back in the day? Ah, the 90's... 😂
I love vintage motors
Aren't they great? All that neon powder coating makes me so happy! 🤩
