[@paulsrc2195]

Cool vid mate amazing that as different as the chassis are their lap times are very close .Thanks for these comparison shows they are great .

[@derricksazrc3411]

That Baja champ looks snazzy . Yaaaaay nothing broke. Good video guys.

Such an awesome channel. Thanks for all the great content. love all the old skool cars and trucks that i grew up with!

[@tallguygaming409]

Hey its what we do 👍

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Enjoyed that ! Cracking video. They were very evenly matched

[@RCRetro]

Thanks Andy. I was surprised how super close it was.

[@tallguygaming409]

Andy stop by some time with some of your buggies

[@SuperHelibob]

Bring back Steve the pirate! That was a surprise result for me. Can we see some 2wd buggies next? I would love to see an Ultima vs Dynastorm shoot out. Thanks guys. Love the show.

[@RCRetro]

Hey Bob, thanks for the comment and support. You will definitely see a "VERSUS" with 2wd buggies at some point.

[@tallguygaming409]

Dyna storm vs ultima can be done 🤔

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

A lot of love for the Baja Champ

[@tallguygaming409]

Adam im glad you saw this since i know ur a baja fan!!

[@markhinkle3234]

The VS videos are pretty cool! Thanks!

[@tallguygaming409]

Sweet glad u like it

[@tallguygaming409]

Any suggestions on the next one for cars?

[@markhinkle3234]

Hummmm... how about 2 wheel drive, Kyosho Raider and something compatible like a Tamiya Frog and others. I still have and run my original from the late 80’s. My parents never allowed me to race it (breaking parts) so I am wondering how it stacks up against other similar buggy’s. Thanks!!!!

[@tallguygaming409]

We do have frogs i think ati has a raider unless he sold it.

[@SuperRondone]

Nice video, could you tell me the size of the shock absorbers of the baja champ? If you can tell me the abbreviation of the shock absorbers, thank you.

[@JustinLisaHaynes]

Awesome video. I'd be interested in the dry weight of the competitors and also wet weight balance point say on a golf tee or the like

[@robertlongley9153]

I think the The Fig is right where are the special effects for a driver of his caliber. He should also have a cool running helmet with feeding tube. One question is about Retro. Should MSC be used and not the fancy electronic ones.

[@tallguygaming409]

Hell no between all of us we must have close to 250 cars no one wants to run msc haha

[@tallguygaming409]

Plus there were esc back in the day when these cars were available

[@robertlongley9153]

@@tallguygaming409 yup I know had to ask anyway.

[@tallguygaming409]

Good question but no way hahaha

I fucking love this show

Thanks Brandon. That means a lot.

Ehh its ok 🤷‍♂️

[@carlobell2558]

Nice yard track. Mad props

[@tallguygaming409]

Thank you

[@johntuffy5721]

I just want to know which one would go further after I poured lighter fluid on them and lit it.

[@tallguygaming409]

Idk try it with your cars and let me know 🤣

[@SuperBigdanno]

Instead of running the 540 size motors, swap over to 550 size on both...more torque so less over heating which is 1 of the down falls of the TL01B chassis. Love the vid!

[@tallguygaming409]

Its not against the rules but none of us run 550 cans haha

[@mattiasrc]

Woohoo Bahaaa Champ for the win hehe. Are you going to race the winners from each class against each other for THE Ultimate car?

[@tallguygaming409]

Ehh dont think that will work since baja has fastest lap ever on the track. We do monster trucks soon there is no way it can compete with a 4wd buggy

[@RCRetro]

As Harry stated, probably not. But we do have some interesting matchups in mind for the future.

[@mattiasrc]

@@RCRetro sounds good.

[@scottnorton6834]

You need to get the landscaper back in there. Lawn is not looking as green as it did a few weeks ago.

[@tallguygaming409]

This was filmed b4 we had fake grass. Good old phil who races with us installed my fake grass. Its green always now haha

[@tallguygaming409]

Always look at flowers on how small or big they are some videos dont line up in order that we film them haha. Trade secret i filled you in on

Yeah the fig wasnt cold he wears shorts and tshirt.... guys a man more then ari haha

[@PC0067]

Hello, sorry to bother you. Do you know where I can find a basic chassis for my Baja Champs? Mine is cracked. Thank you for your kind response.

[@RCRetro]

Ebay and search "tamiya TL01 chassis". here is a link www.ebay.com/itm/133983545861?epid=1001793921&hash=item1f320aaa05:g:ejIAAOSwtKhh0--N

[@mad-beerc3818]

That was not surprising the Baja Champ has an awesome chassis! Its like its simplicity actually gives it performance! I just can't figure out who the fig is??? Such a mysterious dude! Great fun vid again 👍 Oh when is the next Retro's Hero's race?😉

Hahaha whats this retro hero division 🤔

@@tallguygaming409 Sadly, I couldn't get this song out of my head. I just got done watching the video for it! lol

[@marcushaas44]

Awesome vid, I like the idea of testing different cars by a "professional driver"! Some sort of Google sheet were you compare the lap times would be great! For example: I really like to know how the laptimes of 2wd classics like the ultimate compare to the 4wd tamiya range like hotshot or terra scorcher 😊 I wish a had such an awesome track to test it myself

[@Divefire]

I know it’s all for fun (and damn I had fun watching it!) but I’d rather drive the Terra, the Champ looked a handful…! Also the differs between the average fastest lap suggests the Terra is an easy to drive car closer to its limit… But numbers aren’t fun, right?! 😂

[@viper-qi1po]

I demand a recount!!

[@tallguygaming409]

Hahaha why

[@viper-qi1po]

@@tallguygaming409 there is no way that brick with wheels beat out somthing as sleek as the terra scorcher lol

[@tallguygaming409]

But it did you just witnessed it hahaha

[@viper-qi1po]

@@tallguygaming409 the only thing I witnessed was the transponder malfunctioning due to the car overheating lol.

[@tallguygaming409]

So the car over heated cause you are correct it is a brick and the motor cant breath well haha. If it wasnt for that the fig may have got more laps in being lower then the 10 that we had to use makimg the gap even bigger between the 2 cars haha.

[@jasonkohlmeier6707]

In normal racing that I have done, that’s just where I live, they don’t count lap times but how many laps are completed, regardless of any mishaps. In this case the terra scorcher won, because it had more laps. I’m not saying this would be the same with no mishaps but it’s always been the most laps. Granted it’s for fun but if if we take away the five laps or gain them then terra scorcher would win.

[@tallguygaming409]

So this wasnt a race we have races and it is most laps wins but this is just a comparison between 2 cars. Each car can make as many laps as they can in 8 mins. Then we take the 10 fastest and average them out. This gives a better idea on how they are and not there fastest lap or how many laps they make. It evens the playn field

[@tallguygaming409]

Give me my award im first once again....now to answer all your questions haha

[@ptaylor5014]

That Tamiya Baja Champ has upgraded shocks/damper and springs, is that cheating?

[@tallguygaming409]

Nah the scorcher has oil filled already so makes them even. Wouldnt be much of a race with pogos on the champ haha

[@bradkalman2353]

I've never seen a 1060 with those capacitors on the outside before someone's cheating. Lol

[@tallguygaming409]

I burnt out b4 so i fixed it. Doesn't add anything but it works again.
