Oh yeah i’m here watching 7:00 PM Tuesday yay 👍👍😎

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Ty!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Love my four-way scale that way you know right where you’re at yeah, I’m old-school I got the wired four way scale i’ve had no problems with it. Appreciate the video catch you on the next one 👍👍😎

[@TheShopMiniRC]

They work just as well!

[@wingnutbert9685]

I guess a side to side tilt gauge would roughly give an idea of before and after effect of your weight lowering efforts. Lower weight equaling more tilt. Would be interesting to see/know if that bit of chassis rail flex from removing the tray actually has any tangible effect of performance. Thanks Ken!

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Yeah, I think there are some ways to check your lowered cog by hanging the rig and checking the new angles it hangs at.

[@wingnutbert9685]

@@TheShopMiniRCOh that sounds WAY to scientific!!!! LOL!! Tilt test is close enough! 😁😅👍

[@andrewrichey7374]

Super cool 👍👍

[@TheShopMiniRC]

Very cool

I've been seeing these while they were still on pre-order, maybe still are, not sure. I'll definitely need one. But my main question is, why haven't we seen anything on that new Cayman Pro V2 that I've also been seeing on pre-order right beside these Katanas?🤷🏼‍♂️ I'm dying to know about that!

[@TheShopMiniRC]

We should have ours this week and then shortly after will have a video ;)

[@OkieDokieBoi]

@TheShopMiniRC can't wait! I'm hesitant about pre-ordering that one because of my crap Fury Wagon I got from Furitek. Mine is still just a glorified paperweight to this day. I won't run it because it won't run right. It cogs, stutters, and jumps so badly. I did everything correctly straight out of the box, updated first thing n all. Tony sent a new motor after much back and forth, but by then, I was over it. I always suspected it was an ESC issue to begin with. I just got the itch the other day after seeing these and others Fury Wagon videos, six months later now, and decided to install the new motor, updated to the latest firmware, and still the same. So disappointing. It's the only rtr of A LOT that I've ever had an issue with and has never been run. I really want that new Cayman, but I am scared having issues...

[@TheShopMiniRC]

@@OkieDokieBoi try swapping the esc and see if it helps.

[@OkieDokieBoi]

@@TheShopMiniRC I figure I'll end up doing that in time. But for now, my excitement got the best of me, and I went ahead with the Cayman V2 pre-order. Can't wait to see your videos on it! I sure hope it's a winner 🤞
