And so happy to see someone who knows they can use Warm LEDs in an RC Lol.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I can't stand those horrible bright blue LEDs

[@chrishorst6993]

That’s some real talent. Making these look real

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks!

[@CharlieBrown-pb9xn]

Beautiful work

[@AMPROEngineering]

You so much. You're very kind

[@juswin24]

I miss my Pinto. Lol! Mine was a ‘74 runabout Bronze color. I repainted it a Root Beer color. Even swapped out the whole interior. 😀 thanks for update video! Oh, it was my first brand new car I ever bought.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you so much for the information! My first is a 1979 that I've had since I was 16. Going on 20 years now

[@dave691974]

Your attention to detail and your designing know how ,is second to none, I use your products in all my RC's , keep it up my friend.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you very much!

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Been waiting for this, looking for one

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Dude that Pinto is badass man. I love what you’ve done with it.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I'm glad you liked it. I'm sorry it took so long to get this video out

[@thedumpydustman6088]

Those wheels look identical to the ones used on the Ford Capri and Cortina here in the UK and yes you guessed it they were rwd and used pinto engines so guessing shared more than just the steel wheels! Nice job buddy looks awesome!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Are quite similar but the ones on the Capri and Cortina are actually prettier. Suspect that is where afford USA got the idea from. I think you called the 2 L the Pinto engine correct? I don't early cars had the Kent 1.6 and later cars had the lima 2.3 those several of my full-size ones have the cologne 2.8. Are used to have a Capri with the correct euro stamped wheels and a 2.8. I loved that car but it was a total rot box when I got it and a very wealthy man bought it for me shortly after and fully restored it so I'm glad it's still alive.

[@thedumpydustman6088]

@@AMPROEngineering they came with many engines in the UK there was even a 1.3 believe it or not. But yes the 2ltr was called the pinto. I had a 1.8 ltr version on my Ford Sierra the 4 door version of what you call the Mercury XRt4i! Nice car big by UK standards

[@RedLP5000S]

A video that I never knew I needed to watch. Great job.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Ha!

[@stevewatts3502]

Excellent work bud, an iconic car and time beautifully captured. Don't blame you for the cautious driving.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I appreciate that. Not having rear suspension makes the car bouncy on uneven terrain and given all of the body modification I didn't want to crack anything

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

Incredible work! Also, that cat is a badass. He made you drive around! 😄

[@AMPROEngineering]

LOL! yeah, shes been around these since she was a kitten so they dont phase her at all.

[@ericrichard5237]

All my Rc's get painted lime green. Good choice.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Agree. It's a great color

[@PeaceParts]

This is amazing! Now I want to do this exact thing but make it a mini replica of mine!! Great job!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you! It was a labor of love but I am so happy with it.

[@jeffreybentz7097]

EXCELLENT job on the build 👍👍 Great video showing all of the details and work that went into the car

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you so much.

[@paulwesthoff9807]

Pinto and Monza both blown small block common strip cars. Had a good buddy that had a blown Monza that thing was crazy.

[@RedLP5000S]

Paul Westhoff a friend of my dad still has his pro-mod Monza.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I always like the Monza. Wish there was more of them on the road

[@paulwesthoff9807]

Not sure there was many made is that right Ampro? I know where there is a true Cosworth Vega also that little car is a rocket for what it is too.

[@FordFan01]

So explosion jokes and calling an RC terrible things like "Ford Pinto" aside, this build is fantastic! The level of detail is as professional as it gets! Color really pops! (Disclaimer: I actually really like the Pinto, I just think the whole gas tank thing is hilarious)

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks a lot. It was a good build Though a little frustrating. The fuel tank math on these cars was always overhyped despite the fact this was the safest subcompact to come out of the 1970's. The car was never dangerous, it was just what came out from Ford showing that they knew it was possible to make the car safer.

[@jeschreindl]

Nice work as always!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks so much

[@brsrc759]

Love it man

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks!

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Wow you done a outstanding Job , it looks well better the lights looks amazing to. It looks propper scale. Looks amazing outside to. 👍 really enjoyed every minute of this video, Keep safe and well 👍🇬🇧😁🇺🇸👍

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun but a very difficult build

[@gogotrololo]

sweet build... just a sweet sweet build

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you. It was hard work but I'm absolutely thrilled with the results

[@RC-ty5ym]

Yeah, my favorite KZbinr released a new video!

[@AMPROEngineering]

You are far too kind!

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

Al when are you going to make a remote control mouse so that meowser can chase it around the driveway. 😸🐭

[@AMPROEngineering]

Ahahahahahahah! She has been around RC cars so long that she could care less about anything RC. I want to put one of her mouse cat toys on a Radio Shack zip zap and it was like she knew it was fake immediately

[@ChapsUnlimited]

I have never heard someone say they prefer the thicker bumpers over the thinner ones. On any car that had to have larger crash bumpers installed. It came out great though. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@AMPROEngineering]

I grew up with a 74 so I always was familiar with them. Thank you very much

[@MrGreyZ]

The yellow Pinto, with the square headlights? - and the little spoiler is straight fire - I love the look. My folks had a 79 or 80 yellow wagon

[@AMPROEngineering]

Haha that you! It has been a great car in the couple decades its been in the fleet. I have a '79 wagon also. They are my favorite years.

[@Overland_RC]

Would you consider building another one of these with the Superscale active suspension? That would be a very neat build!

[@AMPROEngineering]

I've heard of that suspension but this car is very small and I doubt anything would fit in it. I think a larger version would be ideal

[@Overland_RC]

@@AMPROEngineering He's actually made a smaller version that he's been putting into model kits converted to RC kzbin.info/www/bejne/npaokKOOec-CqLc

[@bazil7330]

Great Great Work,

[@AMPROEngineering]

[@dennis586]

Look good!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks!

[@roberterzen1510]

I have the red version of the blower pinto and also have the AMC pacer

[@AMPROEngineering]

Nice. I didn't remember this but there are 4 variations on the Pacer colors. I happen to have them all lol...and I dont know how many pintos.

[@roberterzen1510]

@@AMPROEngineering wish I could send you theoics of what I did

[@bsea35]
