This channel has become one of my favorite.. very calm clear voice, and you describe everything very well, better than any other channel. Thank you. Of course I've seen numerous unboxings of this rig, but had to watch yours. I'll be buying more parts and will use your link.

I appreciate the info on compression, full-droop and rubber bands. Top notch info. Really appreciate! I think I'll try that servo you suggested, maybe if I'll use a wire shrink-sleeve on the screw to fill the gap between 1.5mm and 2mm. And yep, made it all the way, long video.

Wow. Thank you sooo much. I am flattered and humbled. I just want to be sure newer people get good info and you never know who’s watching. They might be super experienced or this might be their first RC.

Near as I can tell, that little bunch hexagons, are state shaped. You can see TX, and ID, NV, and AZ if you look really close, and I thought it was just me destroying the inner box, while unboxing.

I think it's an overland thing. You fill in the states you have been to. I have seen people with RVs and travel trailers with similar graphics on their rigs, with only certain states highlighted or colored.

I have been having a blast comparing my Ascent 18 to my TRX4m (both stock). The Ascent 18 feels faster, yet has better low-speed. Ball bearings, portal axles, shocks that (so far) actually keep their oil and not being stuck with Traxxass proprietary electronics makes (IMHO) the Ascent 18 the winner. The price was simply the icing on the cake for me.

I cut the sticker off the windshield with a razor, leaving the window frame (border). I did this on my 10th scale and it made the windshield much clearer and non-tinted. I wish now that i had done it to the windows on my Gen8 before I blasted them with stickers haha.

When you do your Furitek conversion and other upgrades video, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Venom Lizard vs Cedar Python. Which is more appropriate for this truck and why. And more generally, which combo for which applications/RC builds and why. I noticed your Cedar review was in more of a basher build.
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC 24 дня назад
Ooof. The video is already made with the venom. (It’s currently members only but will likely be live tomorrow) The cedar is definitely more of a high speed motor. It can crawl and go slow but it wants high rpm. I think if you ran a smaller 11t or even 10T pinion on it(stock is 12t) it would be even better for crawling and still have good wheel speed (plus be waterproof)

Really sad state either way. I still love the smaller size, but if I'm gonna get more, I'll scratch build.
