Ouch, that hurt! What's the worst wreck you've had??

@chrislrocks 3 года назад

Got out of line mid air , tried to use throttle and brakes to straighten it out with no luck. Vekta5 end over end then cartwheeled to a stop. Bent the body, but broke nothing.

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Ooooooh dang. That's good though.

@@BMPowered flipping the $6k Rcmax baja for the first time!😬 the cage held up thank god just snapped my cage panel and front hub bolt ripped out. Got it on film at least so thats a plus!😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UUv0wZgPIZg.html

@EMPIRERC 3 года назад

if you had a killswitch in it then the engine would have shut off when the battery got disconnected and wouldnt have fired back up until you got it sorted.

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Yeah, wasn't aware of the low voltage cuttoff.....am now though, lol.

@cdcderby 3 года назад

If you’re running a spektrum radio it wouldn’t mater if the power was cut. It would still run. Specktrum is only good for shutting the engine off remotely. All other killswitch features are void. Don’t know why they haven’t addressed this issue as of yet.

@bryangriffith9086 3 года назад

That's why I run akillswitch on all my rigs, plus set up the failsafe . Better luck next time guys!!

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Yeah, lesson learned.

@woogienitro 3 года назад

Kill switch should work simultaneously with the failsafe if you lose power at the receiver on the vehicle it will automatically turn the wheel and lock the brakes you can set both up to run on a single channel on your radio pretty easy process great video been looking at getting a crack in as well I have a Baja and a Losi 5B that I've spent a ton of money on keep doing what you do man love your videos

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words!

@mindyours3842 8 месяцев назад

Same happened to me. I upgraded all electronics and had a super bee killswitch installed...no problems since.

@chrislrocks 3 года назад

Wow can you even imagine if that hit something or someone. I've always worried about runaways hitting people, don't even want to think what could have happened to the "spectators". I use a killer bee killswitch in my Kraken. That will shut the motor down in a event like this. It detects radio glitches, low battery, and total battery loss. Bash on!!

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Wow, didn't know that. We have 3 of those and will be installing them shortly.

Should never drive out in public without a kill switch on your car dude that Beast could snap someone's ankles ✌🏽😎

@BMPowered Год назад

For sure! 😆

@joseCalderon1976 2 года назад

I had an electric rc take off on me once because I turned the Rx before the Tx. That was not fun. Luckily it drove itself right into a tunnel and not the busy street above that tunnel 😱. Good stuff buds

@BMPowered 2 года назад

Many years ago before RU-vid, I had a nitro 1/10 street car that I rebuilt after a nasty wreck and flip, roll down a blacktop road. Parts were everywhere, it pretty much exploded. After I rebuilt it, I forgot to turn the radio on and I started the car, and took off full speed and smashed into a concrete wall, once again breaking what I had just fixed. I ended up scrapping it for parts and sold what I could in ebay.

@Azaelyyandel Год назад

At 1:30 u should off checked the battery connector. It was already about to unplugged. Kill switch won't activate if battery is not connected. I had run aways plenty of time.

@Clickbaiters 3 года назад

@2:59 "Wouldn't have mattered if I had a killswitch or not." 1000% untrue. A killswitch kills the ground to the coil if there is a signal loss or power loss (like the battery dying or disconnecting) thus won't allow the engine to start or will kill it when if it's on if the above conditions are met. Guys, I'm a subscriber not a hater but you guys gotta do better in educating yourselves. We don't want to lose the 5th scale hobby to over regulation like the idiots over in the "drone" side did to themselves.

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Thanks man. Yeah, I learned that after the fact. In fact, already made a video of adding the kill switch. Will be out next week.

@nikolus24 3 года назад

You need a failsafe. I run the fly sky gt3b radio and the receivers have a failsafe that will work with a kill switch to shut down the car and lock the breaks. That's what I have set up on my baja 5b

@takuache4692 3 года назад

It the battery it’s the battery cuz it was puffed up

@BMPowered 3 года назад

For sure!!

@FifthScaleOrBustRc 3 года назад

Ahhhy walk of shame!! Invest in a $20 tow rope brother! Just me, it will save your back alot of pain!😂 been there done that we all have had our "walk of shame" moments! I just crashed the $6k Rcmax Supreme 55cc Baja the other day!😳 its on film at least on my channel quick 30sec heart stopping clip

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Yeah, for sure. It was hot and that thing is heavy!!

@srt4joe19 3 года назад

Get the kill switch with the low voltage cut off

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Yep

@TheMadBom6er 9 месяцев назад

I would put a return spring on the throttle so if you have no power for the kill switch at least it will return the throttle to neutral position. There are lots of videos on it.easy and cheap safey mod

@DrJT-ly3vr 2 года назад

I would get some max 5t tires on that kraken... if it's 24mm hex... or if 23mm even better get the redcat rampage mt wheels... or maybe something better... those are cheap anyway... I just think it's better suited to some huge wheels! Those are track tires imo...

@SRACChannel 3 года назад

if it ran away, how come it can still steer to the left?

@BMPowered 3 года назад

I think I hit a patch of grass and pulled that direction.

@MustangTTGT 2 года назад

How’s this car holding up from just using it? Anything falling apart or things breaking all the time like the internet makes it seem?

@BMPowered 2 года назад

I love it! I did have to upgrade the rear linkage to steel, because it was plastic, but other than that it's been a tank.

@Joes5thscalercandguns 3 года назад

That's why I dont use lipo's i stay with nimh all day every day then you don't have to worry about fires and having a kill switch is a very smart idea for a expensive rc like that. Glad nothing else broke bro.

@BMPowered 3 года назад

Yeah, I like lipos, buuuut, in this case, I may move away from them for radios.
