Great video Rob!!! Rolled a 10mph buggy, how? but at 20mph, damn near straight run, LOL. Your laugh is contagious my friend, much needed to me these days. plus Mark egging you on, give it the beans, go on son, is that flat out? OMG too funny!!! You guys are a good team, don't ever loose that. ATB, stay safe & do stay healthy mate!!!
Hehehe, couldn't handle all that power man but really I got bored of waiting for it so started to play with the trim and took my eye of it. I'm glad it helped mate, I think we could all do with some fun and laughter at the moment. Many thanks and the same to you and yours dude.
Delightful to see you two this morning! Great run! Doubled the time on your buggy, wow, even surprised Rob! Mark’s dump truck likes to show off with wheelies, raring to go. 😁! Rob, you do a good walk of shame too, 😆🤗. What a beautiful day and place for a run, except for the giants, 😆. Wonderful video!👏👏👍🤗💖
Hi Catherine. Yeah that's what it's designed for but he really needs to glue the tyres on now as they have started to slip. I reckon a brushless motor in the HB would get it wheeling on the grass or dirt but not sure about the tarmac with those spikey tyres. I can't watch my walk of shame, have to fast forward it lol. It's not a bad park but will be a lot better once all the refurb work has been done. Many thanks and hope your weekend is going well my friend.
Another fun video. Nothing like a couple mates hanging out having some banter with their RC's. My son's DT-02 beetle has a Sport Tuned. I did change to metal cups and drive shafts and it seems fast. It is a converted Holiday Buggy. I only realised the other day that the dump truck is the same size as the Wild Willy.
Missed out on this fun! Better late than never. Wow! 16 kph. That’s slower than my grasshopper with the 380 (goes around 20). Must be gear ratio or weight that slows it down even more. And fun to see that it actually has plenty acceleration …. And then just winds out after 1 second. That’s pretty impressive - from zero to max so fast. And what a difference that Sport Tuned 540 did. Was it with the 17T pinion? Must have been. My DT’s do around 35-36 kph with the torque tuned and a 19T. 33 kph is pretty impressive with only a 17T pinion. Anyways. Good video Rob. Enjoyed it very much. Hope you are having a great weekend my good friend.
I know I've missed loads since YT stopped sending me email notifications of new uploads and taken the notification bell off the Studio pages Doh!!! Yes it is, just think how it would feel if you could get a full size car to do that lol. Actually it was a 19T pinion as it was all I had spare so not that good. I've been up my sisters for the weekend to try and get some gardening done but yesterday was a washout and today she has invited the rest of the family over for tea so will have a house full. Many thanks and hope all is well with you and yours my friend!
Oh, that was great! I know it's easy for me to say, but I actually guessed it right on both speeds... It's funny how we can almost judge it from just the footage. I think it was a right decision to upgrade, the higher speed fits the buggy much better, and I bet it's ten times the fun to drive! Have a great weekend there, Rob!
Yeah I know but we couldn't explain how we got to it lol. Yeah after doing the speed run I was so glad I put the 540 motor in from the start and especially for it's first run. You to my friend ATB :-)
Hey great stuff Rob. I remember Mark's version of this. Some jolly banter along the way. So you doubled your speed with that little hop up. 20 mph is much more like it. Anyway, hope all is well. Cheers mate 😁
Hi Pete. Yeah we did quite a few runs over two days (didn't have time to fit the 540 on the same day). Yeah, the 19T pinion helped though. All good now but was in a bit of a mess for a few days trying to fix my office chair, bits and pieces all over the place and wearing out drill bits drilling holes in 2mm stainless steel lol. Hope you're having a great and peaceful Sunday mate!
@@robbrennanrc lol yeah real 380 punch! Not bad then that speed from the sport tuned, l asked Rob because l have just picked up a HB and l am old school and still only use NiMH batteries and very happy with them too!😉 Plus have a sport tuned here somewhere and plan to use in my HB so now l can get an idea whats what! Thanks buddy.James 😉👍
I have wondered that myself mate. The only thing I can think of is perhaps it's aimed at the younger aged first time RC drivers. Many thanks and keep safe man.
@@robbrennanrc I had previously wondered whether they felt that the drive train might not be up to transmitting the torque from a 540 motor, but thanks to you two I now know that it wasn't that. It is certainly likely to disappoint most kids when the 380's fitted, and to delight them with a 540 in its stead.
No problem with 540 motors, the Super Fighter DT02 I have I fitted a 3000KV brushless system in it a few years ago now and no problems so far, well not with the drive train anyway lol.
Oh! The blistering SPEED of that Buggy!! No wonder you had a crash. 😂 No.... I may not believe you Blokes. 😜 According to Google, it's 6242 miles between my House and and Mark's House. Could fudge the numbers - and I wouldn't know it from this distance, without the Speed Meter!! LMFAO!!! 😆😜😂 Doubled the speed with a Motor change. That's A good thing! ..... It's All about the fun!
Hehehe! I just couldn't handle the warp speed of that 380 motor lol. We could set out a measured distance and do the math but that sounds far too much like hard work to me. Def worth sticking a bit of electronics on and letting it do it for us lol. That did surprise me a little, I was expecting about 17 to 18 but didn't take into account the 19 tooth pinion gear stock is 17. Many thanks and have a great weekend mate.
Can you still buy those tires cuz I know I saw some from Hong Kong and I'm hoping you can still buy them somewhere else besides their since they are the same tires as on my fighter buggy. So do they still make those tires?
@@mikeymike3240 what I'm also worried about finding is the fighter buggy RX rims those are hard to find in the tires if they're not yellow because the gold ones I can't seem to find but I can find two rare yellow ones from the original car.
Hi Brad found this seller on evil bay showing they have both front and rear wheels: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313634573645?hash=item490613cd4d:g:MbQAAOSwtEhgWh-3 If that's any use!
@@robbrennanrc it would cost me an arm and a leg to have it shipped from Europe to here it's already a lot of money that he's asking for they're like 20 and $30 a piece because your pound is worth more per dollar and shipping and handling it wouldn't be 7.99 would be a lot higher than that for me
Hehe, yeah I know but I keep forgetting by the time I get home and so don't get round to adjusting it lol. I will probably have forgotten about it by the time I finish my round of replies as well hehe. Many thanks Brad and have a great weekend.
