DDMSteveB thank you my good friend Steve I appreciate the kind words!! And your help threw out this build! I'm almost done but she's done enough to finally free up my stand!
You know I had an old gun that was in perfect condition and I said I would never shoot it. Then this old fella ask me, "what are you doing, keeping it all nice and perfect for the next guy? He's not going to treat it like a queen, So take that thing out and have some fun with it.." And you know, he was right.💡We're all just temporary owners of this stuff (Firearms, Knives, RC's ect, ect) have some fun with it while you got it. That old guy really made me think.
HillbillyNitro USA No Lie. Couldn’t of said it better and I think about this all the time. I collect Everything. You name it. All my Collections are Mint Condition from Guns, Dirt Bikes Guitars, Model Trains, RC’s, 5000 Beer Can Collection I wipe down etc, etc. I just turned 50 and have 3 sons. I said what the hell am I doing with all this Stuff. Either I passed it down to them and hopefully they keep it in the family or sell it and pay off my wife’s Macy’s card. Hmmmmm I know what you mean. I have about 10 Pistols I bought over the years and only shoot 1 at the range which is a Smith and Wesson 22 automatic moded Out. It just looks cool and fun for Target practice. The others were never even shot yet. Crazy. Now you’re going to have me shooting them all this Week. Thanks for reminding me Bud !!!
That's one impressive machine! I haven't even broke in my reds r5r on my first nitro buggy and watching your videos has me wanting to get a 5T real soon. Lol! Awesome as usual sir.
Now it’s getting exciting, sad to see the 5t sitting up high but I’m looking forward to new 5t and that dragster. Great job I must say on what you created, badass losi 5ive t
That thing is awesome bro, looks like a show truck, can't wait to see the new body, almost a shame to get it dirty but hey that's what they're built for right, let er rip, keep it going mate, will be standing by for more.
Man that's sick!!!!!!! Wow 👏 😮 love it so i have the 5t 2.0 does the ddm 4 lugs fit right on with the spacers they sell because before summer ends I want to see if I can get a 50cc from rc maxx 50gt reedcase billet any good tips for me
hey man just wanted to come by and say howdy yo not sure if you come to see your tube any more if you do hit me up i wanted to talk with you about a 5t your the man to talk to about them will take care hope you and yours are save in this time
John looks really good will be even better when you put the on the other body on it yes i recall your plans for it. Hope that you do drive it you take good care of your stuff so know it will be ok after you use it it’ll look just has good now and after so use the damn thing
I’m also looking into getting several x2s so looking forward to those videos.Going to try and get the1/5 scale going over here in Northern California have to try and get the braaap braaaps a going on the left coast
*DALE EARNHARDT!!!!!!* 😱🍺🍺 NOW you're really speaking my Language!! So...... You gonna try to find a Lumina or Monte Carlo Body for that Gem?? Let #3 LIVE! Holy fuckin'SHIT Dude!! That Chassis is AMAZING! That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen, period. I'm blown away! Those Tires look totally Legit!! Just like the gummy compound Slicks I used to run on my Modifieds at Riverhead, back in the day. Truly impressive John! Carmine 🚂
sweet wheels the 5 T looks outstanding bro man I can not wait to see it running why not run larger washers behind the nut you now that will fit the studs and larger than the nuts like fender washers
Mine on this video is 3 inch wide by 6 inch tall ! I also have some 4 inch wide ones and different compound like the 8 series but I use those for my Dragster Application
Trying to become a nitro brother again. Had a nitro in the past, I'm not sold on going RTR, that's for kids hahaha, looking to pickup a truggy kit over the winter (i'm in canada) so I can build and gather parts as I go. Losi 8T 4.0 looks solid from your videos, but would you recommend anything else instead? Mostly bashing, maybe racing here and there, but I don't know about the other chassis like HB or Tekno or X-ray etc
Peter Verstraete you will love and can't go wrong with the mighty TLR 4.0 Truggy trust me! You can jump off roofs with that thing bro trust me I have done it already and I have proof of it in a past video!! Have you ever seen it?? Anyways the only one I would do if the 4.0 was not around is the Tekno Nitro Truggy!! For me and almost anyone it's must easier to get parts for a TLR but the 4.0 will not break much lol!
Not sure if your 5T can be beat. Nicest I've seen. Maybe just drive it on nice dry days on clean road surfaces. Have a bit of road fun. Build it for speed. Good job mate.
MGP CUSTOMS yes I was thinking about that and I think I already may have some in stock but I want to see how long these parts on it last so I may only do that when it's needed?
uncle Dollar I know how you feel and what you mean because that’s what I have done and many many others as well!! My house is officially an E - word free house ! Even my kids rather drive Nitros instead of the E-words I shit you not.
Evolve Rc how are you my friend. I will be showing a new set on my next video so stay tuned and if you want a set ? You need to talk to my good friend John at www.detroitperformancerc.com/ he will help you to use the right set up for your application! Have a good day brother 👍⛽️🤝💥💥
BOTAJELL thanks mate will give them a call if your ever in Australia happy to put u guys up for accommodation and and a tour of my country and of course have a bash with my rcs keep up the good work cheers
Evolve Rc thank you my Braaaaap ⛽️💥Brother I appreciate the warm welcome like that very much if I was to go ! Maybe someday ?? My parents have been to the beautiful country of Australia 🇦🇺 and it took them 23 hrs to get there .
Stick a huge Impala body on it so you don't get the itch to do roof top jumps. Lol kidding, up to you. Do they have rc shows anywhere ? Cause that is the rc show winner of the year 2017 :-)
Standard tall I think 6 inch? I got to measure them to be sure. The ones here in this video are the 3 inch wide that I know and there the 405 compound . The 8 series compound stick better but don’t last as long as the 405 and the 405 will stick good also but you have to heat them up till they smoke up
@@BOTAJELL Oh ok, Thank you. I am getting the 4" x 7" tall, but they are out of stock. I got the Extended Adapters already. Anyway, you got a very nice setup there, with all Chromed Parts...
Justin Vellier lol 😂 No because I’m afraid 😱 to know the truth!!! I say you only live once and you have to do what you love ❤️ and don’t look back only forward and help others along moving forward! Sometimes it takes a while to get 100% and it may take awhile but I am thick headed and I never quit so eventually I will finish this fully . I will do whatever it takes so if I need a second job to get this done ✅? I’ll do it but I find myself always staying late at work everyday and that helps a bit so eventually I’ll get there.
BOTAJELL it looks great. I really love the flag on the chassis. I may steal the idea if you don’t mind. I race all Losi 1/8 scale and I’ve had the Stars and Stripes ever since I started. I’m looking at ordering the 5ive B soon. I may have to get your email or something for advice on upgrades. I like the wheels and hubs you put on. So that may be an option I go with.
To be honest I’m not sure 🤔 I never weighed it! I’ll try to remember to weigh it sometime in another video. If I forget to do it ? Try to remind me to do it
I recommend you get and start off with a Roller King motor X2! It will also come with great upgraded parts out the box so that will also save you money so you can use it for a good engine and exhaust system
Dammit boy, looking sick brother! Those slicks look amazing! Check out www.hemistorm.com/hemistorm-penta-body.html for the body. Looks really nice open wheel but you can get the fenders also for it. Love this body cuz you can configure it how you want. Can't wait to see this thing ripping on some pavement. You see if they have any 5th scale R/C car shows also bro so can bring home some best in show trophies. Man hands down this is the nicest one i have seen. Congrats bro.
Nasim Wehbe thanks bro !!! Yes I know about the Hemi Storm body and I love ❤️ it! I have lots going on now so I'll just use what I have for now but someday that Penta body will be a must!!
BOTAJELL I just saw the bottom end cases on DDM.. 325.00 I think! Get those and the crank and top you want.. that’s what I did. I threw a 2MM stuffed crank in there! I really can’t wait to see what you do!!🤪😱 I’m gonna fire mine up today or tomorrow!!
I no this is 6 years old but WOW this is the most stunning rc I have ever seen. I want to do chrome red and gold on my 30 degree north. Do you still have thos or have you sold it
