Those tire give me a problem too but thank you for the tire tip and the ear plugs as well, but I do have to say I want more of the thunder but that is because I have one, but I do have to say drones are insane an fun as hell so I would have to say both buddy. Keep up the sick videos 🙏
I also replace the oil with 50 weight and a heavy grease in the front diff to give the rear more power and stop the front ballooning so much. It's been doing great so far for me.
Yeah I had to lower the braking force on mine. Factory setting was set to 75 percent and when I hit the brake it'd flip instantly headover heels and land on its roof and just scrape all the way down the street until it stops. I was so pissed because but as we all know that 1st scar is the most hurtful one. 😂😂. I lowered it down to 25 it's beautiful.
Thanks for doing this video it was great! Did you think it ever think about trying a set of nice foam tires on that?...I like the tires on the Thunder for offroad especially packed dirt, they hook up pretty good for my needs. But Sometimes I'll rip on the street to get a top speed or something. And I also hate skateparks 30 ft., smashing my truck to pieces just ain't my thing 😂. So i use it for off-road.
Enjoyed the speedruns! Is there any way you can stay in the throttle a little longer at that spot to make sure you get the top speed registered (in case that GPS lag time isn't getting your real top speed)? It looks like there may be more room in the direction you start but it is hard to tell in the video! That was a BEEFY LIPO! I totally can relate you don't want to break stuff/crash! It is nerve racking and frustrating to spend hours on a car only to have one run when you go a little too hard or don't let off when should have make all that time wasted plus all the time you now have to dump into the car to fix it! I am not big into drones but I would think it would only help bring in more subs/more eyes on your channel! Thanks for the shoutout!
No sir, the ESC is now 150 amp GoolRC and yes it came factory with a slipper clutch but it blew out, I ordered a slipper set up for a Traxxas, had to modify it some to make it work, I actually bought 4, changed out the spur gears to different ratios just for speed runs. I have a friend about an hour away who rebuilds turbo chargers for cars, his machine can balance small items like this at very high rpm's, so I had them all balanced as well. Thanks for watching
On thgis segment....I hear and agree with u 100% th-cam.com/video/nezTT-5Qpe8/w-d-xo.html "U do u" some bashing broke certain parts to certain trucks of mine that make me think twice before attempting another "tripple backflip" or whatever. I hear u. I seen videos of people racing Traxxas XRT on a ramped course and b4 hitting second ramp this kids "12S XRT" blew out its tire just from the rotation speed alone. Those tires alone arent cheap hence, you should use your own judgment as i do imo. But "u do u". Love your videos man. happy trails.

Great tip and to know, thanks!
Drone recording your speed runs. Great job man!
Thank you

Awesome! Mine are at 50%, seems about right for me.

Thanks for watching, they're kind of rushed, thrown together video's but we're trying. Thanks for watching
And bashing isn't my thing either!

Thank you! Yes, that battery is a beast!
Wow she's fast
2 questions
The esc is stock you say?
Does it have a slipper clutch?

If you could only pick one between this and the 2997a , which would it be?
Hands down the LAEGENDARY Thunder! No contest! Just the stability alone makes it the clear winner for me.
