Awesome show

[@joeddejohn]

Cen never heard of them. Interesting layout for a monster truck.

[@krlaturn]

Joe DeJohn Been around for years! Awesome company and products! Bulletproof drivetrain. Check them out

[@joeddejohn]

Bulletproof RC Hmm. Only been in for 5 years and during that time really only did 2 years. The local hobby shop which is now gone recommended HPI or Traxxas. Chose HPI. Nice looking rig. Funny I never heard of CEN but now I know. Thanks.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Glad you're back. Thanks for posting.

[@krlaturn]

[@blacksheeprc8113]

[@chrischupp9760]

I’d like a bigger RC like that, should get one

[@ReadySetRC]

Great informative video. Love the upgrades.

[@krlaturn]

Ready Set RC Thx for the positive feedback friend!

[@sd_rcfanatic157]

Link for the wheels and adapters please. Thanks

[@davehubbard3981]

Hey Keith, Love all your videos and the fine detail you put into them. What did you use to remove the anodise off the rear skid plate

[@krlaturn]

Just soak in greased lighting degreaser. Thx for watching friend

[@nickhathaway4617]

What shocks are those? My speaker is blown LOL you guy's should make some parts for this

[@youfirst4412]

Nice rig.. You may find this odd but I did the opposite with gearing. Went to a 16T pinion but on 4S. It is very responsive and pulls hard. 165 degree motor temps @ 95F. On 6S 16T may be to high for bashing.. Did you find that the rear shocks did not allow the rear suspension to travel all the way down with the stock shocks. I think they need 5mm longer shocks in the rear due to the way the chassis is in the way for lowest shock placement on the rear towers.

[@krlaturn]

You first Actually, I bought mine used with aftermarket shocks already installed. So I have no experience with the stock shocks.

[@krlaturn]

You first Great info on gearing for 4s. But yeah, you would fry this motor on 6s with that gearing.

[@olds97lss]

Got any running videos of this thing?

[@imserious2187]

What's the difference between that and the reaper?

[@krlaturn]

Only the body paint and decals. The colossus body was reLeased in USA only. The Reeper was released in UK

[@hippywildchildracing]

Very nice truck i just bought one new..do you know if any one selks the 23hex extention. to make the stock wider stance. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@krlaturn]

John Forbes I didn’t experiment with optional 23mm hex adapters. I was able to get Thunder Tiger MT4G3 17mm hex to work with a little shimming. They are wider

[@hippywildchildracing]

Bulletproof RC thank you for that info Sir..i would like to see this truck about another 1inch wider stance....with this truck that you are showing here in this video. With all your add on after market parts how much was your after market build up of this truck. Your truck looks really beefy and strong it looks great...great job on this build. Thanl you once again my friend.

[@krlaturn]

John Forbes Actually I bought the truck on Ebay used. It was a bid I won at $360. It had the IRC shocks on it when I got it. I put the esc, servo, tires and the Alza chassis and diff mount on it. So I’m thinking I was somewhere under $800

[@hippywildchildracing]

Bulletproof RC that a great deal truck looks great..i went to your chassis comp. it looks like they got a couple different chassis plates which one did you buy it looks pretty extended your wheel base..

[@wosawatratsameeveeranitcha444]

Awesome nice job that is what I am looking for. Could you please give me the upgraded list to me? Thanks

[@sammyrocamusic]

Wosawat Ratsameeveeranitchakul well too bad this guy didn’t even respond to you

[@clg763]

I just saw this sell on ebay, wish I could have picked it up, care to share why you decided to take a loss and sell it? I ask because I am working on a similar build for my Colossus XT, your video gave me some inspiration and ideas and I'd love to learn what I can before I invest more money in my build

[@krlaturn]

Patrick Anderson It was a great rig! I had a great time with it! I tend to build, test, and sell often. It gives me the opportunity to try new rc’s and learn more and more

[@joestricklandsr705]

Very nice work bro, 👀's great !!!

[@krlaturn]

Joe Strickland Sr Thanks friend! I appreciate your support and feedback!

[@applepiperc9696]

Nice

[@stephanez8036]

i would love to see a video of this thing bashing ! is it possible ?

[@specter6633]

Nice truck. How long do the batts last?

[@krlaturn]

with my current gearing and tire set up I get around 35-40mins on these batteries

[@rccle1023]

What shocks are those specifically? Can't find them from what you said. Can you send me a link? I swapped the springs on my colossus to losi and kaos springs but am thinking about changing them to what your running. Id appreciate it. Thanks

[@hippywildchildracing]

Hello what 10 tooth pinion gear brand did you use thank you..

[@krlaturn]

John Forbes Robinson Racing hardened steel mod1

[@hippywildchildracing]

Bulletproof RC they dont make a 10 tooth they go down as low as 11 tooth i just emailed then..

[@krlaturn]

John Forbes Oh wow. I have quite an assortment on mod 1 gears. I generally stick with Robinson Racing when possible. I just did a search for you and Losi makes one.

[@hippywildchildracing]

Bulletproof RC thank you i also checked and i did see the losi one two..thank you for checking...you may have a Robinson pinion on there but make sure its not the 11 tooth on there..:)

[@bretrishelrc9789]

what tires do you have on there?

[@bretrishelrc9789]

and i went over to innovative's website and didn't see the TVPs for the CEN?

[@krlaturn]

Bret Rishel's RCs The tires are Proline Rock Rage 3.8 with 17mm hex conversion. The TVP’s are from Alza Racing. The shocks are from Innovative RC.

[@alberdw1985]

Hey Just wo seeing if you could like I everythi g used in this build If you don't mind I would like to copy your build

[@krlaturn]

Don Alber I used the following: Alza Racing Chassis. Alza Racing Center Diff mount. Innovative RC shocks. Aluminum servo horn. Savox 2270 servo. Hobbywing adjustable UBEC. Cen Racing 17mm hex. Proline 17mm Rock Rage tires. Everything else is stock

[@GeneralHobbies]

run video

[@krlaturn]

General Hobbies lol, maybe soon

[@alberdw1985]

Hi I was wondering if you had the same problem as I did with the center differential mount/motor mount the holes on my stock motor do not line up with the ones on the Alza mount . any ideas here is a link to a video I did showing my bbn issue kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5TLi2OgbraJgKM

[@krlaturn]

UD RC old Alza sells two different versions. Looks like you have the one for 30mm motor holes. You need the one for 25mm screw holes for the stock motor. Contact Dejan and he will help you straighten out the mixup. Dejan Toplak [e-mail]

[@uncleduckysrcextravaganzao7353]

Bulletproof RC Thanks I have contacted Dejan and has gonna hook me up with the correct ones

[@krlaturn]

Uncle Ducky's RC Extravaganza of Enjoyment Ok good! The one you have is for installing a 1/5 scale brushless motor. A 1/5 motor is senseless, the stock motor is more than adequate for this truck

[@stephanez8036]

i would love to see a video of this thing bashing ! is it possible ?

[@krlaturn]

stephane Z Sorry man. I don’t have this truck anymore. I built it bashed it. Then sold it. Story of my life! Only way I can afford this hobby and buy new ones!

[@stephanez8036]

i understand ! those parts must expensive ! i was wondering how the proline tire ran, can you describe it ? do they baloon a lot ?

[@krlaturn]

stephane Z Yes they do. About the same as other Proline MT tires. It’s not too bad if you gear for 40mph. I noticed ballooning mostly when trying to go 50-60mph

[@stephanez8036]

ok. i have this bad habit of making multiple backflips ! and i don't have a CEN colossus yet, but i 'm looking what other tires i could put. it is ok if the tire baloons a bit, but it should turn into a pizza disc !
