Hi there. If you are getting the metal spur gear then I think you need an extra slipper pad. My 4s has got two pads on each side from what I can remember. Thanks for watching the video and your kind feedback 😁👍

Hi there. Yeah I'm pleased with this addition to my RC collection. Many thanks indeed for watching and your kind feedback 😁👍👍

Hiya Fil. Oh yeah the light up there was so nice and it makes the footage look much better. These are fantastic bashers and you are getting an awful lot for your money. It's good to have some really tough cars like this so you can save the Tamiya's for less severe bashing. Cheers for your great feedback mate. Best wishes 😁👍

Hiya Chris. Yeah I like to do videos like this but they aren't always popular compared to ones that are actually useful. It's still the GoPro Hero 10. I'm videoing in 4k at 120fps. Cheers for watching and your kind feedback mate. Best wishes 😁👍👍

Many thanks indeed 😁👍👍

Hi there. You don't need to change any esc programming when you install the new servo. Really the only thing that needs changing is the low voltage cut off to get a longer run time. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Oh yeah I'm expecting you to better your last run 🤣 Cheers for watching mate 👍👍

Hiya Peter 😁 Yeah the Kraton was gliding through the air in a very graceful way. It was a bit less graceful at full speed and when you could hear the sound but nice to do a chill out video. I think that 4s is big and chunky enough for me right now and I don't feel like I need more performance. Be great to catch up with you soon. Best wishes mate and thanks for watching 😁👍👍

Hi there. Yeah the footage came out well in the afternoon sun. Many thanks indeed for your kind feedback. Best wishes 😁👍🙏

Hiya mate. Yeah this is one of those runs that I wouldn't have bothered to video had it not been for the fantastic effect of the sun shining through the trees and dust. Really makes such a difference to these run vids. Thanks for your great feedback as ever. I hope Sunday is treating you well. I'm slightly hungover after a night out in town last night so just slobbing around. Cheers for now 😁

Hi there. Yeah this is a really great basher for sure. Many thanks for your kind feedback. Best wishes 😁👍

Ha yeah, and more fun. Many thanks indeed for watching. Much appreciated 😁👍

Hiya Dom. Yeah I wasn't really planning to take any footage but when I saw what he light was like up there I had to take some shots. Cheers for watching mate 😁👍

Hi there. Oh yes this is such a great handling and tough basher. Perfect up on that hill. Many thanks indeed for watching 😁👍

Hiya Addam. Yeah you get a lot more for your money with the 4s cars. All metal gears and really nice big bore metal shocks. This is a version 2 with the slipper clutch but the newer one has the centre diff which is better. Definitely one you can launch and beat up. Many thanks indeed for watching mate. Best wishes to you 😁👍

Hi there. Yeah I went up there with not much intention of videoing but when I saw how it looked with the sun shining through the dust I had to get some footage. Cheers for your great feedback. Much appreciated 😁👍

Hiya Derek. Yeah it has dried out at long last! Cheers for watching mate. Best wishes 😁👍

Oh yes the sunlight makes such a difference to the footage. Many thanks indeed for watching. Best wishes 😁👍👍

Yeah I would like to get a Vorteks to add to my 3s collection. Does look like good fun. Many thanks for your great feedback :-)

Hi there. I'm not sure which one you mean. There is this one about the Wild Willy kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6SbpKaqpLh2mpI

This one has the voices of Mark and Rob and at the end there is a string of things they are saying that sound a bit rude 🤔

Well done. Mine needed a bit of force! Many thanks indeed for watching 😁

@@PeteWylieRC No problem! many thanks for offering your help to others!

I'm using the JX Ecoboost 22kg servos in my Arrma's. It is super quick and responsive and not too dear. It's from banggood. I don't know about any high end expensive ones but the JX ones seem to work well. Many thanks for watching 😁

Ooh yeah it's 40mph in the forest 😬😂 Yeah get that Holiday Buggy built but personally I wouldn't use that shell for a speed run in case you break the window posts in a roll over. Yeah bigger wheels are a good thing to up the gearing and Blitzer ones work well. Good luck with it when you do get to do a run. Cheers for your great feedback as ever and very best wishes to you 😁👍

@@PeteWylieRC And good luck to you to Sir! Yep, upping the gearing by using bigger wheels was the intention matey..... and we happen to have a set of blitzers! As for the body, I've actually done two shells..... a stunning nicely detailed box art one, and another just for the speed run! As Mr Hanky the speed run poo was our mascot for last year's poor boys rc speed challenge, it felt only right to bring him back! So, the speed run body will be a convertible holiday buggy driven by a poo! 💩 😂 Hopefully, it should go like s**t off a shovel...... and there won't be no pain if, or should I say 'when' the shell gets totally mullered! 😂 👍 👍 👍

Hiya James. Ah this isn't actually the New Forest but it is similar terrain. It's Ramsdown forest which is near me in Bournemouth. The Squash Van is 4wd and would probably get up those hills with some grippy tyres but the Black Foot tyres it comes with are perfect for bashing as they have a bit of slide in the bends. Yeah my hill climbing is pretty much full throttle and hope for the best 🤣 Cheers for watching mate. Best wishes 😁👍

Oh yeah I know that your one got a darned good thrashing. I think that the Lunchbox bumper mod is a good one to do to protect the lovely body but otherwise it's pretty tough. Cheers for watching mate. Best wishes 😁👍👍

Many thanks indeed. Much appreciated 😁

Oh yeah I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Very nice kits these. Thanks for watching and your kind feedback 😁👍

@@PeteWylieRCI’ve made it got I checked at the hobby store to make sure everything was working and there were a few mistakes but overall it was good now that the mistakes are sorted I can’t wait to run it tomorrow at the RC club

Oh I did not realise that. That is rather annoying as you say. Thanks for the great info :-)

Many thanks indeed 😁👍👍

Many thanks for your kind feedback 😁👍👍

Yeah not a bad start. Oh yeah you need to have a go. Good luck if you do. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍👍

@@PeteWylieRC I had a go... You set the bar pretty high mate....

@@UncleBobsRC Mark is threatening to beat me with his brushed car. Wouldn't put it past him 😬

@@PeteWylieRC Yeah mate, he's a bit cheeky however, your speed has been topped..

@@UncleBobsRC noooo 😢

Hiya Addam. Yeah 34mph on the grass is pretty respectable for a 2s Tamiya. Not sure how much more I can get on the tarmac with the rules of the contest but I'll have a go. Many thanks indeed for watching. Best wishes to you and yours 😁👍👍

Ah yeah I think it did about 30mph upside down 🤣 Thanks for watching 😁👍👍

Hiya. Many thanks indeed. I think that with these contests there is always someone who does something amazing and it's not usually me. Will certainly see what I can do to get a few more mph though. Many thanks indeed for your kind words. Best wishes 😁👍👍

Hey good luck with that. I think that Mark Bryan found some good fast brushed motors in the Poorboy's contest last year. Be worth having a look at what he used. Many thanks indeed for watching and hope you have a good run 😁👍👍

Hi there. Yeah a nice kit for sure. I've got the Turbo Scorpion too and that is my favourite but both very nice. Many thanks indeed for your great comments 😁👍

@@PeteWylieRC hahah awesome. I enjoy filming my kyosho collection so far! Cheers!

Hi there. Yeah this is not bad for starters. Going to have a look in my spares to see what I can do to improve this. Yes will look at that 22t pinion upgrade. Many thanks indeed and good luck if you have any further attempts 😁👍

Yeah there are adaptors for the different servo spline sizes. Also have a look at the video I did about the Kimbrough servo saver. You need to modify it a bit to fit these but it is cheaper 👍👍

Hiya Craig. Yeah not bad as it is and I'm sure I can squeeze a few more mph out of it. Cheers for watching mate 😁👍👍

Hiya Pete. Well I had a nice bit of road with a long space between the speed bumps. I'm sure that we can squeeze a few more mph out of these little Tamiya's. Good luck with your future attempts. Would it be embarrassing if you won your own contest 🤔🤣🤣

@@PeteWylieRC Ha, it wouldn't be embarrassing for me if I won my own competition but obviously the prize would have to go to the next fastest DT-02 competitor 😄😆😁

Oh yeah the lexan shell looks great and a tough basher shell. Many thanks indeed for watching 😁👍👍

Hiya Fil. Oh yeah, keeping the front wheels down is an issue on this chassis. Cheers for watching and I'm looking forward to seeing what your contest is this year 😁👍👍

Hi Brad. Is there a video of it running?

Hiya Dom. Yeah not a bad start and I'm sure I can squeeze a few more mph out of it. Are you entering the contest? Cheers for watching mate 😁👍👍

@@PeteWylieRC probably have a go in the brushed class mate . probably gonna have to do it off road though 😬 and need to check my speedo still charges as it’s been ages since i used it 👍

Hi there. Yeah it does seem that 40 is achievable but beyond that with the rules of the contest I'm not sure 🤔 Many thanks indeed for watching. Much appreciated 😁👍

Hiya mate. Yeah it's fairly flat short grass on that bit of the New Forest so not much rolling resistance. I did get 39mph from my DT-03 with the same set-up so I'm deffo going to tweak everything and have another go. With the gearing limitation it's only really wheel size and motor kv to increase speed. I thought you were going into the brushless class? I guess with those hot brushed motors you got for last year's contest you would do well there. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you do. Cheers for watching mate 😁👍

Thanks for watching 😁👍

Hiya mate. Oh yeah I kept the bit rate high and rendered this in 4k as only a short vid but all about the visuals. Had a bit of luck getting a bit of sun and that location is always fun. To be honest this was just going to be incidental footage to put at the start and end of the build but there was just about enough to get a bash vid. Oh yeah I think we've probably all used that music a few times. Not many good ones in the library as you know. Cheers for your great feedback as ever mate. Best wishes to you and yours 😁👍

Hiya Andy. Yeah I do like this bash spot once it dries out a bit in 'summer'. I thought I'd give the rear steer a try on this and I really like it. It's a fun vehicle after all and not something I'd try to get round a track. Cheers for watching mate. Much appreciated 😁👍

Oh yes this is running with a brushless set and 2s lipo. Quite a bit quicker than with the stock motor. Many thanks indeed for watching. Much appreciated 😁👍
