You think Is a Great startimg point for s beginner or maybe the normale sport Is a Better startimg points i was thinking about getting the hightrail and the 1.9 wheels and the standard shoks so i have both the setups

Cool builds, have you tried or heard of the piece of paper trick for setting gear mesh? Its what I use, just a small piece of paper in between the gears and tighten and remove paper.

Nice looking trucks, good luck on the competition 🙋🏻‍♂️

Pretty much everything I build is from scratch. I kinda feel not building from scratch is a waste of money since you end up changing pretty much everything other than the frame anyway. I’m on like 7 or 8 now, with shocks, axles, rims and tires for at least another 2 upcoming builds.

I'm anxiously waiting to see how the leaf sprung rig does! I think you did a great job with the build! It looks awesome! Everyone is building the moon buggy. Yours, I'm sure will be a stand out! It's different. I like different.

Ftoy looks great! Would love to see some brazing videos as I hope to start soon on my learning path

Comp rules: no brass servos or knuckles Matt: paints brass servo and knuckles 😂😂 cheater

Literally the HOA of RC crawler competition and that's why I don't do it. It's not fun, it's a bunch of BS rules for tiny off-road. Washington is one of the worst of course. I'd just keep it simple regardless

Matt, you may want to double check your link lengths. When you first drove it on the squares, it looked like it was dog tracking, aka the rear end is not behind the front end on center. Like the rear was going a slightly different direction. This may have been because the rear steering was not tweaked to be on the same center path.

They are coming out great!!!

Rebecca, if you're reading all of these comments about Matt's F-Toy... It's not what you think.

Great progress, things are looking great! I agree, nothing beats building something from the ground up that is literally unique to the world.

Praise the wheel

I need this badly. Any way to get one of those Volvo bodies with the decals?

Tbh it doesnt sound like its rubbing it sounds like something is bound up

Don't be that guy who brings the super Hot girl and then can't get it up.

that f toy is awesome!

I built an almost all metal TRX4. It's only 10% Traxxas. I built it as a trail truck, but it climbs way better that I expected. I also used scale hardware everywhere. It's a great rig.

Cool video up until you showed the Waffle house logo again. Everything got blurry and hazy afterwards since I was compelled to down a 12 pack of PBR and now I have a black eye and have several trespassing charges.

Dat FTOY is fantastic 👏 👌 Love it.

Looking good all you need now is some just for men and a wobble pop so you can relax

Do u have a spacer between outrunner and skid? Might be ur noise

Both the trucks look great, good luck in colorado 🤘🍻🤘

I’m not going to mention it’s of center. But man that copper looks good!

built over 30 trucks, and loved every one, yours is looking great, you got this!!!!!!

Both buggies look killer matt, well done👍

No Duffman driving the Duff beer-mobile?

The moon buggy build is the first ground up build I’ve done, plenty of kits. It’s definitely been my favorite project, the whole experience has been great.

I use the gt5 with thumb steer for front and the top channel 6 knob for rear steer so I can put it where I want it

You can program the MT12 for 4WS, rws, & crab just with pushing one switch like regular surface transmitters. It might take you another week like it did myself but when your done your done. Any other vehicles that need 4ws you can just copy that and you always have four wheel steer it’s much easier… my opinion still great content on a time crunch.

Where in Colorado?

Good video man! I have a 24ish scLe and 10th scale build planned. However, I bought a new house, so most of my free time and money is going into it. Hopefully will start building around September. 😊

That noise. Is your pinion too far out from your motor? So the spur is rubbing on the shank of the pinion?

The transmission is no longer isolated from the chassis. That is why you get the added noise.

What do they say a sheet of paper and as long as it don't rip

What a blessing to be able to build a rig like that and go to a competition that is awesome

I totally agree that building your own truck is much more fun. I've got TRX4, which is very capable, yet my handmade truck still gives me more satisfaction 😅

I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Your attention to detail is outstanding and I’ve learned a few tricks of the trade from you as well. Appreciate it sLim 🫡

Dude you did such a good job I love the color I love everything you done with it if you ever want to sell it let me know I mean of course unless you want like four or five thousand dollars

Just a question why wouldn't you put the brass one on the front

If you ever sell that buggy let me know

Nice video Matt. Hello Rebecca.

Nice rigs,it feels so much better when you build them,love kits,thanks for sharing your trcks with us,good luck in the competition!!!

ALL HAIL THE WHEEL!!! 🤣 you need to bring the wheel back.. that was so much fun..(well, for us anyway) 😂

That FToy is awesome!

Bro....disappointed you didn't go with the leather look. 😐🫤 Looks great, regardless. 👍🏼

Soooo... What if you paint the servo in a brass colored paint!? Lmao 🤣 I'd paint my WHOLE truck in brass ... Call her the MISS BRASSY... Wait.. electro plate it! 😂

It’s no shock at all that you are waiting on JEC parts. He’s never on time and there are always excuses.

I designed and built a ti caged buggy with what originally was a capra. This was all primitive with graphing paper and hand tools and hand files and such with about 60 or more hours of my time designing bending and notching. It was not cheap to get my local welder to weld it but it turned out pretty great and the performance faaaarrrrrr surpasses my expectations being a very planted and capable 4ws buggy. It is a line slayer and very realistic. I just need an interior now and it will be legit
