$2500 R/C Race Car - RC8B4 Build, Equipment & Hop-Ups Used 

Union trades job then u can ball up on literally 50 of these builds a year if you want and still drive a 80k sports car, still live in a 400k home , and still save money.

I’m into onroad but gotta admit 1/8 nitro buggy is where its at

But Tamiya packaging all over the place.

Is that the buggy with the laydown shocks? It's super cool! I'd love to try it! -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies yes that's the one. I think a lot if people are waiting with baited breath for it. saving my pennies for one 🤣

Kind of a weird thing to demand, but okay.

@@TranceFur Main distributor in United States who sell 100k orders monthly that buggy is pennies to them.

Thanks Mal! When the weather gets better we'll get on the track, see how it rips and definitely get some footage of it. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Hi Brett, thanks for the reply mate. Can't wait to see you ripping it and hear your thoughts on how it feels.. Hope you do some regular racing as I'd love to see how it evolves over time and what you find works best.. Cheers..

No, you can't add the wire after, I tried; the opening in the post isn't big enough. Installing the second radio post after installing the servo is a good idea, but didn't try that; you'd need to remove center diff I believe. Regardless how you get the servo installed, once the post is butted up against the wire as it bends down, there's a lot of pressure put on that wire. Removing the boot on the detachable servo wire greatly helps the wire bend with less bulk, but I discovered that trick after the fact, so it's not mentioned in the video. You could probably get away with no dremeling and just install the servo, but that post will put a lot of pressure on the wire as it bends down. Dremeling material off the post just helps elevate some of that pressure, but you could probably get away with not doing it. If the detachable lead has an issue its cheap to replace; although a failure during a race would suck. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Thanks for this info Brett, much appreciated 👍

I think it's just the angle and lighting because I noticed that too but the screws are fine. -Brett

Hmm, it might be a small tolerance issue, where your battery is 1mm thicker than ours? The sizes are roughly the same battery to battery but not exact. Is it possible to return the battery? We can find you something a little smaller that won't be so tight. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies it's 1mm in lenght but I bought 2 batteries and both of them won't fit because of that. I don't really want to send them back (I bought them in my homeland) so i think I'll just shave of some material on the battery box, I'm upgrading it anyway so it will violate the warranty. But I'm waiting for the charger and other things from you so I hope they'll turn up quickly! Anyway thanks for the reply and suggestions

@@stradale1310 Ok, that should do the trick. Sorry this happened. -Brett

Either would be great to basher, but which has more parts available at your local hobby shop? Have you checked out the Typhon? www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-typhon-6s-blx-brushless-rtr-1-8-4wd-buggy-red-black-v5-ara8606v5/p1274549 For only bashing, this could be a great, half-the-price, alternative. The tolerances and tightness of the machine won't be the same as the race cars, but if you're just bashing, it may be better to withstand the abuse. If you're set on building a race kit for a basher, I would highly recommend the Tekno cars for how heavy and bullet-proof they are. I know of a few Tekno eTruggies turned into bashers and they're absolute beasts. The only downside to these race kits vs a rtr basher, is the tekno etruggy suspension will have limited travel and sit lower than an Arrma Kraton 6S BLX for instance (an equivalent rtr truggy basher). The race cars want to hug the ground, but bashers traverse better with more ride height. Just depends on how chunky your terrain is I guess. Hope this helps or gives you some ideas. Let me know what you think! -Brett

Traxxas oil 5w30

​@@fromthebackofmymind No.. 30wt

water

​@@lukeevans6437 lol

30wt. Doesn’t need to be Traxxas. Just use whatever is readily available or a good deal.

We aren't giving this one away. -Brett

Yeah, with modern 2.4ghz systems, there’s zero need for that. Heck, my receivers actually have no external antenna whatsoever 😛

Why would you get pinned? 🤣

Lmao he’s not going to pin some kids comment

Those are good points. And at the same time, part of the fun of building an RC kit is also building it to your own taste and specification. Turning it into your own personal unique model.
