I can't get enough of this RC rig! For the price point and the upgrade ability it's just by far an epic deal! Should be getting my second one back from Britt in a little while, and I'll be able to throw some 4s lipo batteries into it. Looking forward to see how the banded tires hold up great video Brian keep up the great work buddy. Can't wait to see what you do next.
Yours is going to be an absolute MONSTER! I need to find the time to modify mine but over the next few weeks I will be adding taller gearing and probably run some speedrun tires (the stock ones were already ballooning significantly at under 50 mph). Please let me know how you make out on 4s! Good stuff!
Great job my friend! I have no doubt you will max this truck out. I just set a speed record with my mid-grade thunder. Video just dropped! Congratulations on making the best #laegendary Video I've seen!
Thank you for the kind words! I look forward to trying to get it to the speed you are doing with your mid grade truck! In another few weeks, I hope to have it cooking pretty good (at least one 3s). My goal on 3s is 70... and if I can get taller gearing in there I hope to do 80 on 3s on the stock motor.... we shall see if I can fit the gearing in there I need! One step at a time though, I have only run it stock so those are pretty lofty goals for someone that hasn't even looked inside the gearbox! lol
@@BriansRCStuff you got this! The truck is unbelievably stable at those speeds, I was shocked. I will tell you that I taped off the front bumper area to minimize drag and help Aero, and it definitely helped.
Good news! Laegendary anwered the big esc/rx question...Yes it comed with separate esc not 2 in one...hopefully both truggy version and monster truck thunders are exactly the same as you have..😊
Awesome...thank you. Only concern...its needs to be wider. That was a problem with Arrma Granite. Once upgrade l. The truck is amazing. Is there a kit available to widen it?
You know, it could be wider but I didn't have a hard time keeping it upright. It wasn't prone to tipping easily like some of my other trucks have bene. I am not aware of a kit to widen it but for on road use, I think a set of hex extenders would be nice! I have a set I plan on trying on it in a future video.
They were on sale like 2 weeks ago for like 90 bucks!. I don't know how they can make money off of them!. even if you bought one for the electronics,the battery, and the radio and receiver and thru the rest away you'd still make out... I just bought the aluminum chassis for it on Amazon for $10.99. The Aluminum hinge pin holders are a must as well!
Wow, I will have to check that out! I didn't know there was an aluminum chassis for it. Very nice. I was thinking the same thing. I had seen it when the price was lower and thought it was crazy! I didn't want to list the price too low in case they raise the price at some time because even $110 is silly cheap! I would think it could sell at closer to $200! Did your plastic hinge pin holder break?
@@BriansRCStuff No I didn't break any yet (knock on wood) but it seems like a lot of the pics on Amazon were pics of broken hinge pin holders but then again I don't jump my stuff 30 ft in the air and I dont go near skateparks. 😂
@@BriansRCStuff yeah it's definitely not made the hardcore Basher, it would be blasphemy to take this to a skatepark like Talbot does 😂😂, but I'll rip around a baseball diamond with hard packed clay or dirt, small cobblestone or a gravel roads with some small moguls or humps but that's about all I do lol..
I just came accross this brand and watched a few reviews on the 10th truggy and this car...they are both called thunder ..is there any difference other than the style bodies they come with...do they both use same radio,esc,motor etc? Thanks for sharing😊
Maybe this will help someone who's looking for alittle more range.. I did this and I get ridiculous range with mine by using a little antenna tube on the receiver box to hold the antenna up about 2 inches. There's a little spot there so I used it 😂.. 👍🏻
I was thinking about doing something like this. I did not notice the spot there.... I will need to take a look. Someone told me the receiver/transmitter is made by DumboRC? I am not sure if that is true. So your range is really good? Mine was going 500 feet and I could not find the limit (I need to go to a bigger spot).... but 500 feet is good for 70 mph speedruns or so... maybe even 80mph.
@@BriansRCStuff I was watching old videos on Laegendary's TH-cam channel and some of the older remotes that they came with were exactly like the ones now, except for the sticker on the top of the controller actually says FlySky!! .. and I looked up the FlySky receivers and their identical as these except for the branding.
@@SoundStream101 thanks for sharing! My buddy Britt has 2 of these trucks and said both have HORRIBLE range. I was shocked mine was so good. I wonder why his is so bad and ours is so good.
I wish I could trade one of the truck bodies with, I bought 2 of them Thunders but I got the truggy style ones so now I got four of the same bodies 😂.. I do like them especially the little wing that screws on the body , but I kind of wish I had one of those truck bodies to mix it up.🤷🏼♂️
Hey Bri, if you have a car that runs 7.4 volt ion batteries, can you run a 7.4 volt lipo battery in it without hurting the car or modding it ? Both batteries have a deans connector on them
@@timmy4539 totally fine to do that. My Jetwood 3s LIPo is a li-ion. A weak LIPO will preform similarly to a Li ion but a good lipo will perform better under high load than a li-ion.😎
Ugh, I know my time is limited but I don't want to have to get new ones. You find any good deals for them out there? I turned my brakes down to 50 percent but I am worried that 25 percent may be needed..... but I didn't want them too weak either. When I start running taller gearing it should also help take the edge of the hard braking.
I need to check the manual tomorrow and see. I know it has a slipper but I do not think it has a center diff. I never looked that close.... but want to double check now!

Bang for the buck $ it is imo likely the best RC 1/10th scale truck available.

Thank you !!!
Ive bent a couple of them cv axles cause of them brakes.
Ugh, I know my time is limited but I don't want to have to get new ones. You find any good deals for them out there? I turned my brakes down to 50 percent but I am worried that 25 percent may be needed..... but I didn't want them too weak either. When I start running taller gearing it should also help take the edge of the hard braking.
@@BriansRCStuff I haven't found anything yet. Any set I've found have been to short
Does it have a center diff or slipper??
Slipper
@@jacobmarleyklm That's what I thought. Thx
Slipper clutch
I need to check the manual tomorrow and see. I know it has a slipper but I do not think it has a center diff. I never looked that close.... but want to double check now!
No center diff.
I set the brake force down to 25%.. I think it comes preset at 75% it definitely has no problem with braking! 😂
Yes, your are right it comes at 75! I turned mine down to 50 but have not had a chance to try it. Is 25% still plenty strong?
@@BriansRCStuff 25 works good enough for me I was sick of doing endos and shredding the roof of my body lol
@@SoundStream101 well, I guess I should just go right to 25% then! Thanks!
@@BriansRCStuff When I tried 50 it was still trying to stand up on its nose when I brake hard
How do i set the brake force? Mine keeps flipping Everytime I got the brakes
Also its a 60 amp in specs christina sent me not a 50 amp.
@@roadstar499 if you look at your actual ESC, it’s probably a 50a. Mine is.
Did you order the same model as me?
Yes,they obviously are wrong with the picture they sent me..they really are bad at specs..they cant even fix information on their web page..
.19 of a mile is 1,003’
Thank you- I was saying 500 feet because it was out and back.
Almost as fast as your Mustang was
That would make it about even with the Formula. 😁
@@BriansRCStuff LOL. Good times.
Super slow
Super slow? For a $110 RTR RC truck I would argue it is anything but. But yeah, it isn't a 200 MPH speedrun car.
