Happy 2025 ! That thing was really moving on that gearing. And the Choons were impressive. I've gotta get a set of those. They seemed really stable. 👍🏼👍🏼
Congratulations brother, I had to log into my YT on Annalees phone just to check updates and make sure my scheduled videos were dropping and seen this. We will be home Friday, finally. That thing is flying man. My choons should be there when we get home, I want to compare them to the Arrma brand (most likely the exact same tire). I seen my 58mph video dropped with the DeeRc, that's with stock gearing but I did install a 21T pinion and left the stock 4000kv motor. That truck is so stable and straight I didn't even use the Gyro, hoping we can hit 75 mph with it soon. Take care, happy new year, I'll text you when we're home and settled
Nice, I hope you continue to have an awesome vacation! Seems like a long one which is great! It was running really nice. I was shocked just how good in ran! I can't wait to see how the Choons stack up to the real deal. I just ordered another set. The price is crazy. I will keep my eye open for the next DEERC video! Happy New Year!
It was really happy as was I! Thanks for checking it out! The wind was bad.... I was afraid to go into the wind (on 3s). I wasn't sure what would happen if a big gust came. I take it that it was really windy by you too?
Thanks! Too bad it will be too cold to run it this weekend. Well, I am sorry but I am not sure. I ran a 41t but I cut the slider as I was using the dremel for something else and I knew sooner or later I would need to cut it.... so I did it while I had it out. I could go significantly bigger than a 41 but I am not sure if it would have fit without cutting it. Next run I will be running 32p gears (31/44 should about max it out).
I use that same foam tape for my body mounts hah. $2 for a pair of Racers Edge pads just seems super expensive when you can buy an entire roll of it for the same price.
I was just rewatching the video and was looking at it thinking the same thing. I have no freaking idea.... I got it used and it came like that. I am pretty sure it is a RPM part. Maybe it is to protect the trans/motor when racing from getting slammed up the backside?
A company named Lipolock 290G steel bumper that's on my Bandit has pics of their Rustlers build @ ridiculous speeds . Them just pics & #'s which surely we'll see here. My street full of cars from festive activities lol & got the lil MJX 014301 ? Hoonie truck out for a much needed fix . Oh , that claim is on their eBay post on that bumper .
I have seen those bumpers. They look really well made! I will have to check how fast they are going with them installed. Wait, what are you saying about the claim on their eBay post? I really like the 014301. I was just thinking, I bet I could get that body for my Jetwood truck!
@BriansRCStuff Bumper is weighty & I slapped one on to do away with front coming up & getting rid of Traxxas cheesy wheely bars . Revisited that post & the claim 131-2 mph ? & the bumper just helped . I can see someone with an XL5 claim their bumpers did not help. lol
@@davidrivero7943 I was a bit skeptical, but I think it’s legit. The guy that has helped me with speed runs. Looks like he has also used it! I might see if they wanna work with me.
@@BriansRCStuff I did think of that & great news you know of the Gentleman. I had asked for a bend on one so when it mates to Bandits bulkhead it would lay horizontal & not raked up like a rpm bumpy but I never got back to him , too many irons on the stove & may still find someone with a brake that can cleanly get the correc visually pleasing angle in the 1/8" thick Lipolock . As far as Hoons on a Bandit , heck yes !! 12 to 14mm hex adaptors was a wise choice but Bandit sat taller which ment slamming it again 1/16" to get my clearance where it was using the lower 2.2 tires. Go belted or go home .
@@BriansRCStuff I'm forgetful uuyyyhh lol BG has HG hoonie body & set tires (4) under $25 . I'm on my third order with a possible fourth, soon. Set of tires from a US Hobby Shop can run into $30 w/o a body . The 3 week wait can be worth it .
I think I’m experiencing voltage sag like you mentioned last rustler video. About 3/4 of the way through my run I hit the throttle all the way and it completely cuts power and I can let off and get back on it a little bit and it runs fine. Got my new set up to like 77 mile an hour and it would cut out, do you have any ideas?
Sorry man, I have a hard time keeping track of everyone's setup I talk to. 😔 What LIPO, gearing, and rear tires are you running? 77 mph is great though! Very nice! I think you are dead on. Assuming it is a low performance LIPO, all you can really do is only do 1 or 2 runs on it (assuming even that doesn't cause it to hit LVC) and be done for the day or shut off the LVC (but that is REALLY hard on the ESC because you are probably getting bad ripple voltage). Assuming it is not a great LIPO, I would suggest getting one that can handle the amps you are drawing now. But with speedruns, especially as you continue to go faster, you will only be able to do a few runs before you should really move onto a fresh pack. This 30 sec clip or so in this video (timestamped) does a pretty nice job of summing up voltlalge sag. th-cam.com/video/AiEjx8_mHmg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YymSSMSmkji3gGWl&t=720
I even cut the low voltage off and it would still cutout I can only assume my batteries are not that great. I’m running 44 34 gearing on silver hoon tires front and back. It happened on 3 and 2s lipo battery but my 3s is only 80c
@ what capacity and brand are the batteries? Is this on the stock motor? If so, I would try dropping back to a 31T pinion. At least in my previous set up that was my fastest gearing. But you should be up well past 80 with a good battery. If you want some suggestions, I can give them to you.
Forgot to mention I’m on xteam 4650kv motor and hobby wing gl120 esc. I was hoping this set up will allow me to go 100+ but I’m probably gonna need different batteries. Would like a 1500 MAH or 2000mah battery be sufficient for speed runs
Happy 2025 !

Happy 2025 and thank you!
I keep second guessing my glue job on those Choons but so far they have been great!

I love the hot pink and neon green parts on this. Very retro
It definitely catches some attention! I like too that is has a XL5 body.... kind of a sleeper.
4:20🌬"I got your lid!"
😄 Awesome passes, Brian! 84mph is cookin'
Thanks, I am really happy with those speeds my second time out! That freaking body.... I was worried I might not ever catch it lol
@@BriansRCStuff 😄 top content!
@@scaleworksRC I had to leave it in there!🤣
The bodyshell kept trying to escape 😂 Good work Brian.
😂 a little more wind out there than ideal, but I really wanted to get some runs in!
Lightning dad is a great guy
Great job Brian. That didn't take long. Great info on the setup. Looking forward to next video.
@@DavidStatham-h2v thanks!
that car is fantastic 👌 a rocket 🚀 ,looked windy there also 👍👍👍😀

Great runs
Thank you!
Wow 84 ! 100 is not far off!!!
It was moving pretty good! I think part of that may have been a tail wind but.... I think it was a solid 80 mph setup!
@@BriansRCStuff
Well then you just have to test with a faster tail wind then ! Lol
You need one of those cheap mics from Amazon with the wind guards on em. They work great for 15 bucks
I really do! Are they bluetooth? Do they work well? The wind just is killing me... especially in the winter.
4:25 😂😂😂
😁
Great to see! Good stuff Brian! Were you able to fit the 40t pinion without cutting the slider?
Thanks! Too bad it will be too cold to run it this weekend.

I can’t take credit as I got this truck used, but it seems like a great idea!
I like that double bumper mod.. whats up with that rear bumper sticking up?? Is that new??
I was just rewatching the video and was looking at it thinking the same thing. I have no freaking idea.... I got it used and it came like that. I am pretty sure it is a RPM part. Maybe it is to protect the trans/motor when racing from getting slammed up the backside?
