Yeeeee!!!!!!! 💥Hawwww!!!!!!🤠

[@PrinceofMacedonVlogs]

dude, good job with this! I've never seen anyone make the RJSpeed body look so good. That is a sweet stunt car. Love the General

[@robc5296]

It's incredible what you do on a reasonable budget. Great foresight. Outstanding project. I may just try to duplicate this next winter. Who doesn't want a General Lee?

[@N1h1L3]

Wow, I'm glad I looked up "wltoys general lee", I just got my basherbodies charger 1/8 white body to modify my wltoys 124016 v2. EDIT: to prevent flexing you could also install aluminum L bars on top of the baseplate, which also protects the sides.

[@glennjthompson332]

Wow!!!😃 That's rc custom history of the charger!🤠

[@IsraelBouchard]

Keep on posting your projects, you explained them well and they gives lot of ideas. I don't care if your not posting very often. I'll be back to learn from you. Nice job on that one again.

[@user-vh5qo7uh1w]

Hey, I'm a big fan of the General Lee as well and I've made 3 of them so far and the biggest deal for me was to get the Dixie horn on it. If you would like the 1969 Charger engine sound and the Dixie horn on your General Lees, ESS makes a dual sound simulator with these sounds on it as long as you download the software program for it and load the ESS with them and it's all free. I really like my General Lee a lot better now that it sounds like a General Lee and can blow the Dixie horn like crazy.

Great work! It turned out awesome!

[@danielmoses7688]

You really need the twin flags on the trunk lid. :)

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

You're right. I have them on my Kyosho, but I flat forgot to put it on this one!

[@danielvandergraft1095]

This will be my next build. Great job. I build my own frames and use erector set metal. Yes they bend but. That’s the fun. They bend I rebuild them. Thank you

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

Right on

[@DH_Charlie]

hey your rc car is super cool and the other one that u made inspired me to make my own so thank u for making these videos😊

[@dazofthemoo1531]

Man, you do a great job with these vids. So easy to follow along. I've saved your Fazer build, and I'll save this one. Real busy atm, but this build is on my 'to do list' Ever considered doing any other iconic car builds?, Night Rider, Starskey & Hutch, the A-Team van.?? This is a great channel man. Your good at this mate.

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

I definitely have more in mind, but I'm not done with the Dukes stuff yet.

[@stevemoon2136]

Great quality & well explained video. Kudos.

[@roadstar499]

Nice job!

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

Thanks!

[@een-stoom-liefhebber]

Love it 😎jumping it looks so legit totally awesome build👌

[@c.k.hobbyshop3351]

U explained your project very well 👌

[@zamoragera13]

I've been wanting to do something like this. Or a fall guy truck

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

Fall Guy truck is on my list too. I started one on a Barrage a few years ago but never finished it because it's too small compared to my other vehicles.

[@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God]

finally! I always wanted to know can onroad esk bodys go on those 1/12 wltoys cars. thank you

[@oneglimmer]

SO COOL

[@valmiremiranda900]

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Yeeeeee haaaaaa

[@Dragnssmoke]

If you relocate the shocks to where they sit more straight up and done they will actually do what they are supposed to when they are angled they way you have them they only shock the control arm to be more benificail for landing they need to be like a real car more straight up and down with rc cars think of the same way as a real car and I garuntee you get better results

[@kodak_jack]

Great job. One problem with those vehicles is that the dog bones in the rear pop out and get lost all the time. One solution to that problem is to use CVD's front and back.

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

Thanks for the heads-up!

[@dab_bod3520]

Could you use the slipped clutch and 2 piece drive shaft upgrade then find a 1/10 shaft set instead?

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

I'm not real sure, I'm not super familiar with mods for this platform. Sorry!

[@Pat-rc77]
