@@nathanwrobel5534 haha. Yeah that was Josh testing his latrax with a custom body on it. I figured I'd leave it as more proof that the truck was really crawling that slow.

I am using X Ray M18 foams on the front and 1/12th pan car wheels on the back. I got them from amain I believe. I've had them in the spares bin for a while.

@craziestmonkey thanks man. I've had a hard time finding anything.

@@manchildrc you're welcome. I was glad I bought them for some testing last year. They work well here. I also saw that some people are developing some foams on stick style wheels that have 7mm hexes instead of the 9mm that the xray wheels have.

@206beastman not enough room for these speeds. Lots of bumps. A few storm drains. And it ends with curbs on all sides.

@thebandit1974 just a big battery and a little hope. The silver can class's only stipulations are that you use a basic silver can(no torque tune or the like) and push it as far as you can in any Tamiya chassis. Dave has the record at 62mph (I think that's his speed).

@alantaylor353 this was definitely one of my favorite things I've gotten on video!

@alantaylor353 where there is a will there is a way! I got some sticky buggy clay tires for the back on this build. The Mamba X and 7700kv motor do the rest. I'll have to see if I can make this happen with other combos too...

@@TheK20eg thanks! These smaller scale cars are fun to throw big motors in! Haha

Thanks! I finally broke a rear hub today so I'll try to get back out to hit 50mph soon. The insanity will continue!

@@wimsky thank you!

Thank you! Cheers!

@@TheK20eg I'm working on an adapter kit to run foam tires. Aside from that it depends on how much you actually want to custom make. There are some food combinations out there that will fit easily and get you some good speed.

@@craziestmonkey dam i didnt even notice you responded sorry for the late response i love your car the body fits nice on it but yeah alot of options out there i just know building on this small platform you need custom parts like motormounts to fit bigger motors ect i definitely want a 50 mph maybe you can help me like i dont want to copy your exact build but i would like some help with a get me started build😂 also if i can get one built id definitely buy the adapter kit from you aswell i dont mind supporting another brother 🙏🏼

​@@TheK20eg no worries. Everyone gets busy and YT isn't always the best with notifications. As for building one, I know there are some motor mounts for the mini brushless motor setups available. Those motor combos are pushing these to 30/40+ There are more and more mods coming out for these everyday. I even saw another company making direct fit foam wheel/tires. A lot of it is in "coming soon" status. I recommend checking out the micro b group on fb to stay up to date.

@@craziestmonkeycan u recommend me a motor mount for the 2430 can size motor that will fit the micro b?

@@TheK20eg Finally on a computer. It kept giving me an error responding on my phone. Anyhow, I don't know anyone else running the larger motors aside from kainrc. It looks like he just bolted a regular mount up through the bottom of the chassis. I ended up "carving" mine from some aluminum with my rotary tool. It was only supposed to fit a 2030 but I accidentally made it a little big. To my surprise that meant the 2430 would fit. I'm working on making everything more easily repeatable. A lot of my prototypes are just hand made or cut. I picked up a second chassis to try to make some mods that will do a lot of the same but work better with the stock layout.

Thanks!

@wimsky nice! I've upgraded since this video but have had trouble getting the power down.

@craziestmonkey You are on the right track. my car was extremely heavy. Dont push to hard..my car was also on fire 😅

@wimsky i got 45mph about 40min ago. I'll be uploading the vid later today. The extra weight definitely helps.

@craziestmonkey Please pay attention to the balance...

Love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@ufcfan3940 😅

@@cyclecats thank you! It's definitely been a fun car so far. I'm waiting on parts to go faster but have been making a turbo aero body for it in the meantime. This definitely makes me want to try the mini b as well now.

@@NANDOFFDataRecovery do it! I was set to buy a few for me and the kids. My daughter said it was too small and didn't want one. I think both the kids want to be able to drive through and over things. I'm seeing lots of cool track set ups for these.

@@coygtrc Thank you! I'll definitely send it. At this rate it may end up happening after the competition though. It's still raining with more expected tomorrow.

@TeamJunkYardDog me too! Can't wait to see what these cars can really do on the hail mary runs! (And to watch those rockets in action!) I'll try to use the new space more. It's about time I used my photo need skills for something again.

@madsrcbuggy thank you. I appreciate that. It definitely takes(me) a lot of hours to get these ideas tested and working. I want that shot. I think I have the build for it. Just gotta get it out there! The madness and genius certainly seem to walk hand in hand don't they? Doc Brown is one of my heroes! Haha. The creation of all this has definitely been more fun than anything else. Nice meeting you. Can't wait to see your next builds too!

@@JoevsRc I appreciate the compliment. Thank you. I will definitely try to continue getting the ideas out

Thank you! I need to back that up. Logs show I maxed at about 70% power/rpm. It held up well through that crash. I'm hoping to run again tomorrow. Fingers crossed...

@@craziestmonkey I am shooting for 3 digits by monday... No Pressure lol

@@rc_michi in every way! Haha. It was one of the coolest things I caught on camera for RC

@rc_michi it happens... i will rebuild! I will come back faster! I need to. You guys are FAST!

@@madsrcbuggy thanks Mads! It's almost ready to go again. The new light on the car should help this time. I also turned the drag brake completely off as I think it was the cause this time around with a big motor and smaller tires. Here's to the next one!

@JoevsRc thanks! And me too. Been busy formulating and building. Hopefully these gears will hold up with the new motor that comes in today.

Thank you. Me too. I'll have it back together soon. This time with the extra protection for the rear.

@@BNVRC thank you! I'll try to get out again soon. Just waiting on parts....

@@coygtrc thank you

@@alantaylor353 thank you. There are some guys going way faster already. I gotta get it back on the road. A new motor should be here this week to help get to the top.

@@TeamJunkYardDog thank you. Me too. I'm glad it wasn't worse. I'll have it out again later this week.

I'm really late with this one. Sorry. It was just the Tamiya PS yellow iirc. Then some details to the engine. I let my son pick out the colors. I like it too.

@benthreadgate5190 Yes, 3s. This was when we had a traxxas vxl set up in it. That set up is a 3500kv 550 can motor. We've been switching electronics around here. I think it's currently running the Vendetta combo in it right now(4000kv long can).

@benthreadgate5190 thank you! My son has definitely enjoyed bashing this rig.

@@peoplePC-dx2cu I think it could be possible to get under the 3 second mark. The really fast rwd guys are doing 1.4/1.5. It takes ecu and remote tuning to get the power to the ground and maintain traction.

@@craziestmonkey I do have castle link to program ESC to adjust the turbo timing or other stuff，i can make tire prep（for 1/7 4wd）as well，I quite agree with you

@@craziestmonkey I was wrong. The car only weighs 2160g

@jonmandelbaum5395 this exhibition was when I had an RC4WD 80t brushed motor and 1080 hobbywing brushed esc. I also locked the diffs with putty. For tires it's running proline trenchers meant for a Slash. The 2/3 wheels allowed me to fill each wheel with automotive wheel weights and 20mm hex extenders. Also, it's got bearings throughout. It now has a 1/8th scale 1900kv brushless motor...

Using an overpowered servo along with all the weight of the truck I was finally able to break the steering center linkage. (The one that connects both sides and is shaped like a triangle). If you look in the fb groups for the Tamiya 6x6 you might see some of the styles you're looking for. I remember some neat polystyrene bodies being shared there.

It has handled well overall. It's also much heavier than a standard kit style build. That helps. I do find that the loose weights do seem to help as a hacked mass damper system.

@jonmandelbaum5395 I recently tested it while pulling my son in the wagon now that he's 100lbs. I broke something for the first time. It was the steering bracket that the servo connects to. The rig is heavy and we did some crawling with it after. It's got a stronger servo in there and just a servo horn with no servo saver. The rest has been really good. (Knock on wood)

Thank you. It's the Bolink Air body. It's currently being sold by SabulaTech on eBay. It is styled after the Oldsmobile Aerotech speedrun car from the early 90's. I run this body on 4 of my speedrun cars.

Funny you should say that... I have a Honda drag body on the printer that is supposed to finish in about an hour and a half. I have a few different Fwd builds now though so I'm not sure which one will get it yet. As for gearing I do not remember at all. I have switched motors in this build a few times already. It is now running 32p gears for pinion and spur. My current weak spot is my axles.

Cool! I have 3 of the McQueen bodies here. i can't wait to compare notes as I am building one up now. A for this Jackson Storm, the wheelbase is slightly longer than the McQueen but quite a bit short than the Vendetta. I put the whole drivetrain on a Vorteks chassis to make it work. Then I did a little custom work to make it fit. I've been meaning to do a more in depth video but found the diffs tight after the swap. I need to get the diffs worked out and really run the car. As built it will handle 4s.

Man, that sounds like a lot of work.@@craziestmonkey

@hansh9681 I suppose it kinda was. I wanted to make sure the body sit at the right height and I didn't drill holes through the body. I have the same goal for the McQueen.

I am using a heavy custom belly pan on this build. This allows me to mount any esc or battery onto the pan. The motor fits fine in the stock location with the pan allowing me to mount and aim a fan right at the back of the motor.
