Shoe goo is great stuff, and once it’s bonded it’s nearly impossible to get apart without a bit of work as you have discovered.. works great to strengthen lexan bodies as well

I have one of their F540 motors in my vintage Raider and it is outstanding! Got it over 60 mph.Just not as powerful as a 540…. Which is not always a negative! I just for some reason like to do stupid things and try to overpower my cars .😂

@@BriansRCStuff About the F540.. is that why it only has a 45A ESC? Most build sheets recommend at least 60 or 80A ESC with the 540 motor.. Thanks!
@BriansRCStuff7 ай бұрын
@@larrystange yes, the F540 draws less but 45A is still a little undersized. I think a 60a would be perfect and I not sure why they went with 45… maybe it really is enough.👍 That being said, so far mine is/was good but I haven’t run it on a hot day. Yeah, a F540 is really like a 2845 or 2850 with fins that make it the diameter of a 3650. The cooling fan hid it and I didn’t realize at first it was a F540!

Well, I haven't tried anything yet except my foam tires I use on my 100 mph Bandit. The stock tires from my 16890A were to small (they rubbed) so you just have to be careful that whatever you get are not too small. I will try some of my 1/10th scale tires one of these days!

@BriansRCStuff your mods you mean? I think they're just right 👌 if you're gonna mod it, might as well do it right. You're transmitter/receiver looks nice, you ever compared it to the dumboRC brand? I noticed some have gyro, that got me interested. Maybe a gyro would help keep it straight when cruising at 60+ mph

It looks like it’s out of stock on Redcat’s website, but when I googled P101 Redcat motor pad The RC Edge has them. Edit, it will not let me check out with them… It looks like they are really hard to find at the moment! I feel my video may be partially to blame. 😣 Redcat does have a waiting list when you can get notified when it come back in stock.
