Thanks so much man! Maine! Yeah you get the real cold up there 🥶 it was 7 deg this morning here in NE Ohio. We had a bunch of snow then about every day after that a little more then a little more.

Makes sense your from there’ Yojr videos always remind me of what my course would look like if I lived at my aunts in PA…..most my fam lives in Pittsburgh or close too.

@@rcarty419 Pittsburgh is only an hour away from me. Yeah that’s what NEO stands for North East Ohio lol

Nice dude! I’m there atleast once a year often 2 times. Always bring a rig but never end up running there! It’s my home away.

@ right on, well next time you’re in Pittsburgh and have a couple hours to spare you’re welcome to come by and crawl. Also MX Acres has a course that’s about half way between my place and Pittsburgh and he holds comps there every once in a while. Great place youtube.com/@mxacres?si=WCv6Dy9jh9lR1AZx

You’re absolutely right! I haven’t seen any better than the set you made last year. I did think about studding a set of tires but right now the the snows so deep the trucks just get high centered on a mound it piles up as it’s trying to plow through lol

@NEO-RC Yeah I get that. I've been meaning to pick up some paddles and do a comparison

@ paddles would be a good option. Those JConcepts king flings look like they do really good in the snow

Thanks! I went RC plate shop .com. They are a little pricey but they last a long time and the details are excellent. They offer both metal and plastic versions. www.rcplateshop.com/

Thank you sir, works pretty good 😊

Right! This basement floor I swear has gremlins cause sh!t just disappears! I hoping it turns out good. The biggest issue will be me making the holes in the right place (measure 3x drill once) and setting the lenses straight.

Yeah it’s fun, I tried getting both out past the driveway but the snows so deep they dig in and get stuck. The rooster tails from the 2WD stampede were a lot of fun, but I was super hard just to get that thing drive straight lol

😂 that 2WD stampede wouldn’t go straight to save its life. All it wanted to do was donuts lol

@@staysmallrc thanks Staysmall! The trx4 high trail was my very first RC and what started it all. It originally had the brown body but I beat it up pretty bad so got the blue body for it. It’s still all stock except for the sound kit then wheels and tires.

@@jaymyers9899 thanks man! That was my very first RC lol only with the brown body. It got so beat up I needed another and wanted the blue one anyway. It’s still all stock except the sound kit and wheels and tires. The 2WD was super hard to keep going straight lol but the rooster tails were fun.

@ thats sweet ! A well loved truck , and hard to beat rooster tails in the snow ❄️ 😃

😂yep, I’ve been kinda putting off but it’s supposed to get real cold, like single digit cold over the next couple days so figured I better get out while it’s half way decent lol

@NEO-RC yeah it's been crazy cold lately

It’s almost like you have to 😂 thanks so much for watching! Love your channel pic! 👍

Appreciate that! It was definitely a fun day.

Greetings seven! Thanks so much sir, very much appreciated it.🖖

Not so far but I haven’t had it out in the real cold yet. It was high 20’s that day I believe. It like 8 deg right now

Thank man! Will be doing more on the Atlas for scale looks. For a budget servo I really like those flashhobby. I hear NSDRC makes a good lower priced servo too, just never tried one. For most of my rigs I don’t need a ton of power, but my comp crawler has a great direct power servo from 3Brothers.

Thanks! FMS just kinda pissed me off a little lol they released the LC80 “Pro” with brushless and portals, and in blue which I’d rather have lol I shouldn’t be surprised, Redcat did the same thing with the ascent.

Thanks, I’ve gotten a couple people asking about the musical stuff. I haven’t played regularly in over 10 years but debating on making a video about it and creating my own video intro and exit music. I do have a review on the atlas but it’s one of my early videos, like a year to year and a half ago. For the price it’s worth getting but be ready to replace about all the electronics (motor, esc & servo) and shocks. Probably the worst stock shock I’ve ever seen. The stock electronics will get you by but it performs a lot better with a few upgrades, as most RC’s do. It’s pretty durable but definitely more of a trail truck than a crawler. The only real problem I’ve had with it is the pin in the front axle knuckle will back out but that’s after quite a bit of use. Thanks so much for watching and the comment! Really appreciate it 🤙

Well going back and looking at the first atlas video it’s not really a review, more a run video, but here’s the link to it… kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIewe3Wng6yMoa8si=Cy64nasd8YniPvAr

Thanks so much. Appreciate it

Thanks Troka! I’ve not ran the base camp yet because of the weather but just I had to do a little tuning with the panhard and servo but it seams pretty good.

Thank you Fortes!

I still play a little but no where near as much as I used to. I’ve even lost my calluses on my fingers so I can’t play very long. I’m considering making my own video intro and exit but my recording equipment is pretty old, not even sure it works lol

@NEO-RC you knew where I was going with that. My neighbor wants to record with me. Richard Gomez. Flamenco and blues! I put an original in one video. With the proline '66. Would really be fun 😁 just some strumming and a few scales...

@@staysmallrc I may do a video playing a couple different rhythms to see which one people like the most. I’m just pretty hesitant because I’m a little out of practice

Thank you sir, appreciate that 🤙

Thanks dungeon & of course. You do excellent work and have excellent videos.

Thank you so much SevenWelt! Greetings sir. 🖖😊

Even trimming just to where light buckets are, it still rubs but it’ll work. One of the reasons i wanted to try those smaller 4.64 tires, just see if it would clear a little better, but nope still rubs lol I’ll get some metal sliders for it, just gotta pace myself a bit, shuts starting to add up quick lol

@@NEO-RC Oh I hear ya! I based my trimming off the Fling Kings. Said, if i can get it to where these just barely rub, I should be good with any other tire I try. The 4.45" Pit Bull tires I have seem perfect for this body.

@@MidwestRCcrawler yeah if those king flings fit, anything should. I must have gotten a harder compound rock beast tire. I got those mid 2023, when I just got into RC’s and didn’t know there were different compounds. Mine are 4.75, didn’t know they had a smaller version.

@@NEO-RC Lol, when I got mine, I didn't know they made a XL version. They have Komp compound and Alien compound. I have no clue what means what with compounds. All I know is that I have the Komp and they seem to be working fantastic.

@ that totally earks about all the RC tires manufacturers with all the different compound names. Just name them super soft, soft, medium and hard. I think JConcepts has the best. Green lol

No problem! Just like you said, took a little patience, a little moving things around, little tweaking here and there but definitely doable. Thanks so much for that video and info, helped a LOT!

Thanks so much!

It’ll turn out really nice, if I get those amber lights lined up straight, otherwise it’ll look like a goofy mattermodile lol

@@NEO-RCyou’ll do just fine, I’m looking for a small set for my little 1/18 ford. I would just use pencil, measure and mark best I can for what I’m doing or maybe a little piece of painters tape for a line ? 🤔

@@jaymyers9899 thanks man. I’m planning on using pinstripe mask tape for the line then measuring and marking on the tape but we’ll see how it goes.

Thank you panda!

You're welcome my Good Friend 🎉❤🎉

👍 it’s getting deep now 😂 we got a lot of snow

Lucky you! Send some to 🇵🇹 😂

Thank you panda! 😊

You're welcome my Friend! Keep the Good Work ❤

Thank you so much and yes it rated for 2 or 3s batters on the stock esc.

@@NEO-RC thanks

Thank you so much! It’s definitely a solid crawler. The bronze wheels do look good. Appreciate the kind comment!

Hello Panda! My son is definitely having fun with it.

Yhap Indeed ❤
