A Budget challenge would be nice, too. Buy an older used RC Car on Ebay for maximum 200 USD incl. Radio control and accu. From one of the older manufacturers like tamiya,hpi etc. And then make some speed challenge,time attack, bashing etc. Not everyone has nearly unlimited founds. I rebuild at the monent my old DF-01 Chassis was a lot of fun in my childhood.

[@darkki94]

To fix the CVD dropping out change the bearing on the inside of the tire from 2mm ( i think it was 2mm stock ) to 2.5mm and it will push the CVD closer to the diff cup , i had the same problem on my wltoys car and that fixed it with ease .

[@mikesrccorner]

A tip someone showed me back in the day was to cut a small piece of fuel tubing (from a nitro car) and use that to shim. Worked for me very well and pretty much a free fix.

[@Brettadams88]

@@mikesrccorner he's running cvds not dog bones mate so this bearing trick works perfect

[@HL3AlcAida]

Both tipps are really good you dont need to buy something to get the things to work just build sth or improve it.

[@jaystarmini]

We need more of that rally car in action ASAP!!

[@henrywood5462]

Yes

[@thunderstormrc]

It performed well on grass and if it was smaller it would probably set a new record on your indoor track. Good luck with racing Kevin Talbot.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, more than likely! There is a New track record now.. video on the 'Cheap' RC that got it coming soon

[@Lee.gRC27]

I applaud anyone who races using buggies I just couldn't get to grips with one so started racing with a more forgiving team associated Rc8 Truggy, so glad to hear you n kev racing and spreading your word out about the racing side of the hobby,

[@kennyclark1348]

The rear shocks are too long. Try either screwing in the shock eyelet in a few turns or fit a 2 - 4mm internal limiter under the shock piston to give it less travel.

[@Pablo668]

Nice buggy I think. Good to see what is on offer out there from lesser known brands. I think it's awesome that you are going to have a race with Kev. Another way of fixing that issue with the rear dogbones is to open up the shocks and put a bush on the shaft under the piston, this reduces how far down the shock and therefor the arm can drop. Gearing it down is a good idea. You won't have the same top speed but that's not so important when racing on a track. it will accelerate out of corners better though. Have fun when you race it :)

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, a few things to sort and hopefully it will perform well 👌

[@ManuelOrtizification]

If you can move the bottom end of the rear shocks out a little bit it should lower the ride hight and stop the drive shaft from pulling out of the cup. 😉

[@3Y3ECE]

Spectacular rig. Cannot wait to see you compete!! Good times!!

[@How-To-RC]

It is really nice to see low cost high quality radio systems coming out these days 😄

[@Andym1159]

Nice car the LC Racing stufff is quality, what about wider bearings? I use ones on my 14401’s that are a tiny bit wider than stock ones and stop my driveshafts popping out. Looking forward to the big race 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, good idea

[@darkki94]

yea same thing here , wltoys use 1.8mm and changing them to 2.5mm fixed the problem.

[@MRMechanicRC]

I’ve always wanted to race, but it’s been to expensive, now I might be able to

[@bdubs2437]

We used to cut a small piece of fuel line from one of our nitro rc's and put it in the cup before the dogbone, wheel side :) Helps prevent them popping out :) Cheers !!!

[@wordreet]

Yep, as others have mentioned, do this and that to it and it'll be that and this. But none of that will stop it being rubbish for breaking like that. And, of course, never push on the turnbuckle or any suspension link to pop off the pivot cup. Use the tips of needle nose pliers to lever it off evenly.

[@tonysmith7989]

I agree on the turnbuckles. I've snapped a few myself. Weird how it's the metal part that breaks instead of the plastic breaking and stripping around it.

[@wattsm2]

Can't wait to see you and Talbot race it out...!!! 👍😁

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

Traditionally you decrease your droop by shimming underneath your shock pistons to keep driveshafts from popping out.

[@alexanderakowaliuk5908]

Kevin's good behind the wheel and the remote even with cheap rc your good too but iv never seen you race ,looking forward to it ,,,. Alex kowaliuk from America 🇺🇸

[@EJ-74]

Put some Petro tubing in the dog bones to space them so they don't fall out. I'd go ahead and change out all the chamber links etc so they don't break while racing. Looking forward to seeing you guys race 🔥👍✌️

[@mikemangiameli561]

Love the paint. I'm pulling for you should be good fun. I like Kevin also but he doesn't have the hand 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@gboulter]

O ring under the shock piston is my favourite way to shorten them. I assume no droop screws odd on a racer. It does look like you can go out on the arm and in on the tower to lay them down more.

[@randall4411]

Can't think of two other people I'd rather watch race . Cool idea ! Fun for sure .

[@andrewmagro7703]

Thats a little beast here Phil probably loads and loads of potential too and im guessing it will perform well on the carpet track thanks for sharing and might be a cheap enough indoor racer for me to look at possibly :-)

Look at the x-ray xt2 there on sale at a few shops ATM for less than half price

Yes, hoping with a few tweaks it will be decent

[@lael1236]

Nice!!! If It has dogbones at the rear you can use small rubber o-rings yo keep the dogbones center, on the other hand nice of you guys to have that race, Its going to be a great colaboration, I'm going to be tem Trc for this one cheers mate 👍

I'm a bit divided with this kit... It seems to have some durability issues not present on the ptg-2 or probably their lc10b, even at Kevin's video you could see Vinny having trouble with it breaking down and he's just running regular carpet track jumps

Hi mate it's probably a cut thread rather than a pressed thread on the turn buckle cutting a thread will always create a weak spot nice build though 👍

[@mine6312]

Easiest way to deal with those dog bones popping out is to add limiters inside the shock bodies stops them from dropping all the way when you jump

[@tonysmith7989]

So no bushings on the servo saver post? So far the only one I have that came with servo saver bearings is the Xmaxx. None of my Traxxas or Arrma below 8s came with bearings. My 1/10s and 1/8s come with plastic or brass. And in the Traxxas manuals are misleading by having the bearing in the diagram when it has plastic bushings.

Those turnbuckles snap instead of bend a) because they are cheap metal but also b) (not to be capt obvious) is the metal is too hard. I think they are chinesium stainless and I've found whenever you see that "colour" they are extremely brittle. I think they put too much nickel and not enough steel.
