Hello from France. Thank you for the video. Races with Grasshopper and Hornet only were the most enjoyable competitions I've done. Modern RC are too fast. Still using my 35yo Grasshopper...even after it falled of a cliff to finish in a river a few years ago...😂

Tt-02b performs pretty well stock. The question is if it's better to just buy something else for the money or upgrade the tt02b. Either way, the tt02b is a very fun chassi to upgrade 😀 nice video as always Bloka 👍
@rcblokaАй бұрын
Thanks so much mate, I think if you want a car to race around a track it's better to buy a proper race kit than upgrading a car like this....for me this car will not be replacing a race car, this will be used as a practice car to learn the track and just have a ton of fun....you are right, the TT02b is a fun chassis to upgrade and since there is no shortage of aftermarket parts I just can't help myself adding some modifications 😁✌
@GearWorksRcАй бұрын
Pretty awesome I’d love to get one for my collection another lunch box and a mid night pumpkin do some videos on those as well good to see more videos on the plasma hb I think it’s a very underrated car that can be race ready also try TLR 45 weight oil for the shocks should be more than enough.
@rcblokaАй бұрын
Thanks mate definitely these cars will add much fun to a collection, with the right upgrades plasma edge becomes a very capable machine.... also have the TLR shock oils here, will be trying the 45 to see how it does thanks for the tip.....if we can get this car to do some nice clean laps I think it will be done to use as our practice car to learn this track before we go to a proper race car 😀👍

Man that track was muddy! At least you had traction right? LOL! Cleanup was a chore I bet. Buggy looked good out there. I wish those cars had a little more ground clearance.
@rcblokaАй бұрын
Thanks man, yeah the track was a mess that day but traction and steering worked pretty good , I was surprised how this buggy went round the track in rough conditions, it should do heaps better on a clean dry track....these cars are abit low to the ground but I think with the right suspension setup it should handle it no problem....and that's the beauty of this chassis....from box stock that's not meant to run on a track to a upgraded version that can 😀👍

Yeah, man, gotta love your attitude, keep at it! Hopefully next time the track will be more dry and smooth, should be easier for the little buggy... 8th scale tracks are tough! I had my try last year, the one I tried on was a mean one, so I eventually decided I'm having more fun and freedom just driving on the road... After watching your video, I do feel like giving it another go, he he...

Thanks so much my man, yeah I'm determined to make this car work for this track, most my cars I drive on the road or off the beaten path but I want a few specific for a race track to get back into racing again, this car is strictly to learn the track more than competing, but will eventually do a race car for racing, just not sure which one yet 😁👍
