@CW-01 Creations46: Tamiya DT-02 Speed Challenge run #3.

Just before 7am on this fine Friday morning August 2nd, I set out for another speed run....
Peter Smith of CW-01 Creations has started a speed challenge using the Tamiya DT-02 chassis, see his videos for the rules..
My steering link is still tweaked from my last run but don't really seem to hurt the buggy much in terms of going straight.
When it flipped over I thought, well there's a "poo splatter fart" but it hit the gravel & flipped back onto its wheels, lucky save and no "Stride to the ride" that time... Lucky for me, my RX antenna sits about an inch lower than the opening in the antenna tube (pipe, mast, whatever) as the slide ground down the tube. I forgot to put the curved back in the tube (see above) to keep it from scraping as much.
Well, bottom line, I got the buggy to 62 Mph... It has more in it, I can tweak some settings. I'm on the road to 65 or even 70+ Mph, can it be done????
Thanks for hosting this Peter, win or lose, it's still fun (although I always say, speed is fun but cost more to go fast and going fast breaks more parts).
Thank You all for watching.... Until next time, Semper Fi!!!!!!!!!!

Great work. As for the walk of shame or the drive of shame it's all the same lol.

[@UncleBobsRC]

LOL "stride to the ride"

[@RCBirds]

Awesome 62👏 For sure at this speed's a long WoS. Great video

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Dirk, It's getting there in speed...

[@MarkBryanRC]

Phew, Bob, I felt tired just watching you do the walk of shame! But hey, it was worth it to hit that speed, I think you got this bro!

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Mark, man, ya gotta get your steps in.... It's got more in it, I'm shooting for 65 to 70+ Mph...

[@madsrcbuggy]

Cya later, Uncle Bob! That was one Hell of a run, not only the car but also you! Thought you could avoid that old wal o' shame? Nah, it comes sneaking up on you, he he... It was an awesome speed, and achieved with a bent steering rod, great job, buddy!

[@UncleBobsRC]

Yeah Mads, no getting around it my friend!!! Hoping for 65 to 75+ Mph next run (104.6 kph to 120.7 kph)......

[@HaydadRC]

Fantastic top speed Bob! I bet it’s got a few more mph’s in it! Great job brother!👍😊

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man, It's not easy keeping the front end down with this short wheelbase (looks short with the No Prep tires on it). I did this with an old Gartpot 4000Mah 50c pack, I wasn't using my power pack.. Maybe next run and I'll get it to 70 Mph....

[@reitplace4765]

great run bud, flipped and self right haha.. corns looking good btw ... solid 62 bud..

[@UncleBobsRC]

The fresh country air in the sticks... There's corn fields out your way, I lived in the area of 1*4 & 2*9, also south of 490 in Churchville, I seen them... LOL

[@Paul__FC]

Holy, I thought I was about to see and X-File in real life. Mulder and Scully about to pop out if the corn with your kit. Faster than any kit I've run.

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Paul.... Ha, I still watch the show on Hulu.. It has more in it but we all know that early in the morning there is dew on EVERYTHING.... hit a clump of grass or hay in the road, its got dew on it, now your tires are wet... Hmmm, speed challenge in the rain??????

[@Paul__FC]

@@UncleBobsRC I tried it. I broke stuff. Great work!

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@Paul__FC Speed always breaks stuff.....

[@JF-RC]

Hey Bob, nothing shameful in that drive and walk…62mph is an awesome speed, with a bend steering rod! Awesome run. Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Lol!! 😂 😅 🤣 That 'drive' of shame cracked me up mate!!..... and then the game of hunt the car!! 😂 What an incredible speed Sir- 62mph.....and with a bent rod! Congratulations, that's guna take some beating! 👍 👍 👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Yeah well, I have respiratory issues I been dealing with for years (the reason I quit smoking a year ago). You'll hear it if I have to walk & talk in a video (hell, I get short of breath just walking to the bathroom, sometimes). Hell yeah man, lose a car in the bush, hit the throttle when you think your close, you'll hear the tires spin/motor wind up, Obviously, don't hammer fist the throttle (Taylor) to hear it.. I don't the term "walk of shame" too many of us do it, so are we all losers or bad drivers? I like the term "stride to the ride" no shame in that, as I said, we all have to at some time take that walk (stride).. Oh btw, I have a tee shirt on that looks like "Damn, She really wants me".. It's got more holes and rips in it than a 20 pound block of swiss cheese in a gorilla enclosure.. LOL

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

@@UncleBobsRC Stride to the ride!! 😂 😅 🤣 Brilliant! 👌 The walk of shame, or stride to the ride is a fundamental part of our hobby,especially the speed runs. If someone says that they have never done it, then they are either lying, or just not driving their car hard enough!! 😂 Well done for quitting smoking dude..... I gave up smoking 'everything' about 8 years ago, though still use a vape. Can't say I feel any better for it, although I'm still drinking way too much, along with other naughty recreational indulgences to..... but hey, you have to have a few treats in life right? Must admit though, this hobby has helped me ease off my party lifestyle a little, given me something to focus on and stopped me going off on regular benders quite so often! And yes, we use the throttle blip method when trying to find Taylors rc planes when they are stuck in the tops of trees! 😂 All good fun! 👍 👍 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Not sure I am going to be able to catch up to that!

[@UncleBobsRC]

You just have to keep going for it. "Do or do not, there is no try"....... Words of wisdom

[@cw-01creations46]

O.M.G........ That was some proper speed you had there Bob 👍 Congratulations on the 62 McMPH. Back in 1st place again.... Well Done 🤘

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Peter, the gloves are off now, I don't have time to sleep on this... Can I use Rocket motors? LOL

[@cw-01creations46]

@@UncleBobsRC LOFL, is it a brushless rocket???? 🤣😝😁

[@UncleBobsRC]

62 Mph = 99.7 Kph (KM/H)....

[@JoevsRc]

Nice run! Looks like i have to step it up. Lol. Hope your having a wonderful day

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Joe!!!! It has more in it, I just can't see the bloody thing that far away... I also need to find a better road, one less traveled but smooth....
