Is this better than electric in any way, performance-wise? If primitive men didn't love loud noises, nitro wouldn't exist. I suggest that they buy an electric truck, and set the gear mesh way too tight, or do some sort of card-in-the-spokes thing to generate an a$$load of noise. It'll be a lot less hassle.
@@allaspectsrc4178 I feel like I haven’t been able to fully drive it. Gotta get the steering servo replaced and a new glo plug. Can’t wait to test it and sort the blue Rat’s transmission issue
Nice work it’s come a long way. Body looks good and considering you only had one coat turned out very well. I would also like a couple of those old body shells for a few of mine👍
@@zchamberlain710 that fuel was created by a master at nitro engine tuning and modifications of engines. He was the king of nitro back in the day. Look him up his name was Ron Paris. Not so much a racer he was an engine man for top off-road and on-road guys.
@@s.o.sSavage in my experience, foams are great for straight runs. I find that any kind of debris or crack will take a bite right out of the foam. Just be mindful and check the field before letting loose. I’ll show you a specific example and share in a letter video. Looking forward to seeing you run yours! Cheers!
On the Hobao truggy I recently got I found alot of rusty screws and replaced them especially on the assembly you replaced, did you find any of the screw heads had rust? Thanks for the vid
@@s.o.sSavage your Hobao truggy is from the earlier lineup but still great. It could have been stored in a moist basement or garage or have been put away wet from previous owner. I deal with a lot of rusty screws but not with this buggy that I remember. Cheers
Awesome project! The Castrol livery looks so good. Hey could you explain what the conversion kit does to the car? I can't find any info on the changes it makes. Does it change ride height, or anything like that? Thanks!
Awesome trucks. Had one when the first came out. Loved it. looking for one to rebuild. Hard to find or they want way to much for them. I'll have to check with the hobby shops like you did.
@@JenniferSmith-gp1xx eBay will be your best bet for to buy a cheap used one thats filthy and refurbish it. Hobby shops are good for new old stock parts that didn’t sell as the hobby advanced over the years. Good luck on your quest!
@@richardbrown6762 that’s fast. I gotta get a GPS to I can track mine. I know my single speed one was faster than 35 mph. Gotta get the two speed finished asap
