I like how we have brushless motors now. They go as fast as some the petroleum. But its alot safer having it brushless motor. Specially like I used to live at low income apartments in winterport Maine and I couldn't have anything with gas inside the apartments.. . Like your truck...
@@TomleyRC On my FG I had a killerbee killswitch on, put it on the third channel which got engaged when the battery gets low, I pushed the button or when the signal got low so I could kill the engine from a distance. It was needed since I alloyed the car out and it weighed over 15kilograms and hit speeds over 70km/h, it could break legs with ease.
@@TomleyRC Truck looks great btw, always wanted a FG truck or a FG E30 M3, only had FG Monster Trucks and Marders. When I had them the brushless conversions prices were crazy, so I never even thought about it. Back then the owner of FG was in a divorce so it was unkown if the business was getting a new start, so parts supply was unkown.
Excellent work! Takes me back to when I used to watch truck racing on Eurosport in the 90's. Was insane stuff. FG is an old german brand, so Jägermeister livery on an 80's Mercedes Benz truck body all bodes very well😊 Awesome vid!
Wow!! What a weapon!! I loved the truck racing in the 80's and 90's, when Steve Parrish was racing!! Some sticky racing slicks on that, and you'd have a wicked RC race series!! 👍🏻
Hi Tomley . great truck , as an old driver , makes me want one , on my adventure with RC's . I just wish I had that sort of money. Anyway have a great day. Sorry still no coffee.
Before you spend the cookies on rubber. What if you replace some of the weight over the rear axle? I would doubt that it is that loose with the gas/petrol engine. Bada$$ video though Tomley, as always!
maybe some more steering angle and/or toe out to help it not spin out so easy. RWD drift setup is kinda finicky, one tooth smaller pinion for sure and 4S might be enough power + wheel speed for good drifting, its geared kinda tall.
Holy crap that is a bad ass rig! I had gas/nitro rc's in the past and fully understand why you did the conversion,lol. My friend has the primal rc raminator and is working on doing a dual brushless conversion. I see alot of burn up motors in his future being those things weigh a ton 😄
@@TomleyRC I think so to,well if he can get it to work,lol. I think after removing the gas motor from the truck it still weighed about 65-70 pounds. I don't know much about about brushless motors but that is alot of weight to bash around,lol. All I know is before he took on this challenge and took it apart,man was the truck was fun as hell to drive,lol.
Looks like you got an amazing deal man and yeah I definitely agree going brushless is much much better as like you've said for practical use you wanna run electronics unless you've got a dedicated place to drive with motors as you'll likely just receive a lot of complaints .. it would just kill the fun
I like that function of using front brakes, while rear spins like in drag cars 👍. I would definitely make a scale interior, and put a scale driver then fix those damage cracks somehow and repaint it royal blue 👍. Is that a Lexan or hard body ?
Now that more me! I want it lol need get them smoke fires for the burnouts there just drift tyre's on it can see the difference with the nitro blasting can you get an enging sound thing for it like the rc tanks lol? And a big LED roof bar and front visor lip! So cool man love it
@@TomleyRC just promise you will rig up the rear brakes...would make a great park racer truck, as long as it is Donnington Park :-) 2 words Paris-Dakar.
Well just GREAT. As a retired HGV1 driver & into rc tanks and now converting a Scania-R 6x4 to rc. When do you get the time to chill out. Many thanks for good work / videos. Pete
Love it! I now need a drift truck in my life! 🙈 UDR first.. then one of these.. its going to be a busy year! Looks mint by the way keep the vids coming! It'll be a mad machine with some new rubbers! 😎✌🏼
@@TomleyRC definitely! Think it'll be pretty quick with the 6s tbh, 8s will be a weapon! Can't wait! I'm looking for a little rc for in the house, any reccomendations? Maybe a drifter.. not too sure yer
I would of place esc in different area. And make lipo batteries on the aluminum frame where the esc is and place where u have esc is now. But back further for weight on the back more.. that's what I would of done to it. And yes on different tires on those rims.. kool truck thou..!!! Like it..
Next step world biggest brushless 1/5 crawler truck. Nice platform nice Design, but just slippy road and bad tires is not drift object. For 8s, try 500kv motor, less heat more running time
Had a mate into those he had a truck a buggy a beetle and a couple of the F150s of which he gave me a shell, I fitted an extended Emaxx under it which looked cool and performed really well.
Hi, I think some of the grip problem is down to a lack of weight? Along with the cold and wet tarmac, I think the best tyre would be "wets" I.E. treaded you'd get more control and when it's warmer they'd overheat and then you could slide them easier. Also have thought about asking Claire's RC'S if Ian would be interested in the engine?. Love this project!! I did think it was a "banggood" special until I spotted the FG logo. Steve. UK.
Awesome work, dude! Nicely done!!! 😃 But, hey... Drifting rc stuff are like that, really. And the tires need to be plasticky, people even make them from PVC pipes! 😂 Anyway, happy holidays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Yes, you wouldn’t want this running away on you land hitting someone or something!
I rather see a gas fire than a LiPo fire to be honest, the gas fires are more easy to put out and less intensive.

I used to love watching the old truck racing. I used to go a local race circuit on the 80’s and watch them
Large brushless conversions are my fav! Keep it up
Thanks mate, more to come 👍🏻
Wow!! What a weapon!! I loved the truck racing in the 80's and 90's, when Steve Parrish was racing!!
Some sticky racing slicks on that, and you'd have a wicked RC race series!! 👍🏻
New tyres on the way 👍🏻
Man talk about being in the right place at the right time!!! UNREAL deal and wicked truck man!! I would give my left arm for this BEAST! Hahaha
Really digging the end music 👍 needed that pick me up.. Thanks 😁👏👌🤶🤘😀thought I saw you with this truck before?
Thanks Pete, glad it cheered you up a bit. Stay Safe 👍🏻
You were right. I am jealous. What a great find.
Haha, it’s a beast isn’t it! I nearly fell over when he said he wanted £300 for it!
That's sick😆👌 I love how you can burn out with it 🤣🤣🤣 super cool man .. thank you for making the video for us 😊
No probs Max, glad you enjoys it
Omg I want it why have I only now seen this I been watching for two years
That is awesome Tomley! I need one lol definitely bring more vids with that !
Of course 😎👌
👍👍 That’s really quite cool and different - and looks like ‘You’ve been Tango’d! 🤣
Haha.. you’re not the first to mention Tango
That’s massively Awesome 👏🏻
Certainly is :)
Badass wicked fun. I love that truck. Great upgrade. Foams on the back and it be awesome
Speed run on 8s... could be interesting!
@@TomleyRC I'd recommend you some GRP or PMT tires. M2 compound in the front and M1 in the rear works very well for racing or speed running
wow, this car looks stunning 😎 Hope to see some more videos from this beast 👍
More to come 👍🏻
That's the cutest thing I've seen all year
Me or the Truck?
@@TomleyRC 😂 could be both, bud🤣
Hi Tomley . great truck , as an old driver , makes me want one , on my adventure with RC's . I just wish I had that sort of money. Anyway have a great day. Sorry still no coffee.
The line lock is so sweet. What a rig T!
I have a hydraulic set up now… just need time to fit it!
@@TomleyRC it's gunna awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product and ripping! Extremely unique truck and love it!
Awesome build
Thanks dude
What a steal even with the damage that can be fixed near to new.
That’s super cool buddy I’m a bit jealous
Thanks dude. It’s a beast!
I’d like tamiya to make a 1/5th Tamiya 58661 Buggyra Fat Fox - TT-01E - RC 😀
Awesome buddy
That thing is super cool!!! Tones of room to do al kinds of upgrades and play around with the setup you want😊 Awesome drift/burnout truck for sure!!!💯
Yes, going to make an awesome Burnout truck!
Before you spend the cookies on rubber. What if you replace some of the weight over the rear axle? I would doubt that it is that loose with the gas/petrol engine. Bada$$ video though Tomley, as always!
Nice job on the overhaul
Nice build
Cheers dude
Great project, massive potential here, very well done indeed!
Cheers dude. Lots more to come
Oh sheeet that truck is crazy. I want 1.
And damn! U got that for 300 only? You really made me jealous😂
Yes... crazy isn’t it! I think the upgrades in it are worth more than 300!
@@TomleyRC woow. Well in that case, I'd just leave it a Gasser 😂
You might need to put some weights on it to get the right weight distribution since the chassis is made for a petrol engine
Yes, more over the back i think
maybe some more steering angle and/or toe out to help it not spin out so easy.
RWD drift setup is kinda finicky, one tooth smaller pinion for sure and 4S might be enough power + wheel speed for good drifting, its geared kinda tall.
Very cool. Different set of grippy tires and it should hook up and handle much better
Yes, new tyres on the way
Looks great👍👍
Yes, such a beast!
cant wait to see that rip with some proper tires!
Me neither!
What a cool truck! Keep those rims though, they are cheesy cool!
Yeah 100% 😎👌
Never seen one of these before. Looks like a fun setup.
I haven’t either until I bought this. Looks well built!
YOU HAVE JUST INVENTED A WHOLE NEW SPORT

Mad that mate!

"Tango" looks great, with the right tyres. And a decent straight, a speed run would be awesome.... Also trailer to tow other rigs.....
Be cool to get a trailer for the Mojave and Limitless 😎
@@TomleyRC that would be awesome !
And with the petrol motor out, you have room to fit a fith wheel setup.
Another great video ,another great car it must have been a hell of a job thanks for all of the effort 😁
Beautiful can’t wait to maybe see a dual brushless setup
Your rc collection is da best!
Cheers dude
If you ever want to pass it on I'd be interested
Looks like you got an amazing deal man and yeah I definitely agree going brushless is much much better as like you've said for practical use you wanna run electronics unless you've got a dedicated place to drive with motors as you'll likely just receive a lot of complaints .. it would just kill the fun
Nice love it looks great
Cheers Glen
I would love to have one of these Fg's with a Mgm esc and a Lehner motor. Big power !!!
I`m jealous!!!!!! And the Only way to go FAST..., Is BRUSHLESS...
Yes Brushless is certainly the way to go for more speed
Thats excellent. Cracking looking truck.
Cheers mate. It’s a beast
Awesome rig!!! Very unique😎👍
new sub i want to.see.more of this truck
Plenty more to come
Wow that things awesome 8s! What a car looks great fun 👍👍
Yes, 8s will be crazy!
Very unexpected video! Great stuff
Thanks dude
Great vid as always 🎉
Awesome love it buddy cant wait to see with grippy tires
Cheers dude. Yes, more grip = more speed!

Interesting truck,, 👍
Yes, different to the norm!
Badass truck . Love ur channel 👍👍
nice truck
you need a gyro in it
Thanks dude. It has a Gyro 😉👍
@@TomleyRC ohhh then you need to increase the gain i think
I've owned FG modellsport stuff before, very expensive, good engineering though 👍
Yes, very good quality
Cool bud, more, more. ,more.😆😄 thanks peace
More coming 😎
Awesome project 👌
Thanks Rob
That looks awesome.
Yes, really cool. Got a few ideas for it, hopefully can pull them off
That's wicked fair play m8 great conversion 👌
That has to be one of the coolest rigs I've seen this year. Very interesting
Thanks mate. Certainly one of the coolest RC’s I own 👍🏻
flippin eck' Tucker HOW MUCH ? You Lucky Lucky Barsteward!
Yes I know, so cheap!

Sooooooo cool!! That made me tingle. Lol
Haha... it’s a beast!
Awesome
Thanks mate
I love to watch too
Love it!
I now need a drift truck in my life! 🙈
UDR first.. then one of these.. its going to be a busy year!
Looks mint by the way keep the vids coming! It'll be a mad machine with some new rubbers! 😎✌🏼
Yes, hoping with some grip, and 8s it'll be a flying machine!
@@TomleyRC definitely! Think it'll be pretty quick with the 6s tbh, 8s will be a weapon! Can't wait!
I'm looking for a little rc for in the house, any reccomendations?
Maybe a drifter.. not too sure yer
@@Rhodey00 TRQ-1 or GPtoys "drift shark" are pretty nice on the budget side of mini drifting (1/24 to 1/28 scale), same for a couple of the WLtoys.
@@modelnutty6503 top man I'll start checking the reviews out now! Might treat myself for Xmas break 😁👌🏼👍🏼✌🏼

Yeah haha... parts are not cheap!
Man gota start it once love the sound
I'd love one of these with a trailer lol
That drift truck with darth heck yeah
Watching this just makes me want to have a crack at converting gas to electric 😅😅
That’s is just massive great deal on it
Yes, crazy deal!

I'm jealous I want one 🎉
Truck this monster😱😱👍👍👍💯💯
Yes, it’s a beast!
wow thats a beast 💪 👍
Run this one around your indoor track! On the drift tires
Haha
I like the slicks on it😆 can they be used on other RC's..?
Well yes they can as long as your cars has a fitting wheel adapter.
5th scale tires usually have 24mm hex or sometimes even 18mm quadratical mounts
Oh man... it would have been so cool to see it with the engine too.

Yeah, 100% needs either softer 'wet' tyres, and/or some weight in it
Awsome!!!

Yes, I think a bit more weight on the back and these tyres will work ok
