How Did This Not Break?!? [30 Degrees North BWS-5B]

[@hybrid32494]

Hey bro! one of my fav videos I've seen in a long time. Great bash and very good commentary. New SUB here! thanks for the video, looking forward to runing mine too.

[@DoRC]

Thanks so much! Coming from you that means a lot :-) I have been a fan of your channel for a long time. Enjoy your buggy it's a good one.

[@hybrid32494]

@@DoRC I'm glad you told me about your channel, I love smaller KZbinrs! Never change and lets keep making RC great! especially the gas and nitro!.

[@DoRC]

@@hybrid32494 Sounds good:)

HYBRID!! 🍻🍻🤙

[@wesleydean1358]

Waiting on your long arm review...Would really like to see this on a track..if possible..

[@DoRC]

Yeah I guess I need to make the video. I've had several people request it which is more than I get for most videos :-) I just have such a huge video backlog that it keeps getting pushed. It will happen though I promise

[@orlando1205]

Great video I would like to see more videos on this car. Did you extend the arms and any other mods you have done.

[@DoRC]

Unfortunately I haven't really had the opportunity to do much with this car. I need to get it back out and work on it

[@madimart]

It looks WAY better without those hubcaps on. Nice idea

[@DoRC]

I agree. The hubcaps kind of made the whole thing look silly and dated in my opinion without them it looks a lot better :-) thanks so much for watching and if you aren't already subscribed a sub it's appreciated!

[@kevb1050]

Mine will be here Wednesday with the V2 kit. Can't wait.

[@DoRC]

Awesome I don't think you'll be disappointed!

[@Fats-yg1jd]

This buggy is built like a tank seriously!!

[@DoRC]

For sure! Definitely underrated.

[@kingmotorrc9694]

Awesome Video! Wow that took a beating, I new it was tough but that really shows how tough it is!!

[@DoRC]

Yeah she's really durable! I'm very happy with it:)

[@29namnori]

I like speed, but 37 for this buggy at its size and weight is enough for me! I love mine!❤ Great Vid! ✌🏾

[@DoRC]

I agree. Of course there are people that are going to want to go faster but it definitely feels fast enough especially for smaller areas

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool, I'm thinking about one of these buggies to get someday but currently i'm looking into getting the DDT-7 V2 5ive-t clone later this year or next year. I have checked out some of fearless' other RC's and they are awesome i might get both the 30 North's, the Rovan XLT and the Primal RC QS Dragster someday but it's a big if i can afford all of them.

[@DoRC]

Sounds like a good plan :-) they've got some awesome RCs!

[@genevakeith3876]

You put that buggy through the ringer 😆 I'm impressed!

[@DoRC]

Held up great!

[@29namnori]

How is this buggy ugly and pretty at the same time? I love it!

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's definitely a cool RC!

[@kevb1050]

Did you ever make the video after the V2 conversion?

[@DoRC]

Unfortunately the conversion kit is still sitting in a box. I had a couple broken pieces on the car and just haven't gotten around to messing with it.

[@Harvz78]

Which engine does it come with? It's pretty slow.

[@DoRC]

I think it's a 28cc. It's definitely not super fast but it's fast enough to have fun.

[@1FIFrc]

Wow it took hits on some of those landings. Good video Kenny 👍🏽

[@DoRC]

Yeah and some of the worst ones I didn't even get on video. It's hard for me to record and get big jumps at the same time. I'm still not quite used to it and this is also a brand new ramp. I am genuinely shocked at how well it held up. Anyway thanks for watching and if you aren't already subscribed a sub is appreciated:)

[@nickhathaway4617]

What ever happened to making it wider???????

[@DoRC]

It's on the list I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I've got so many videos to do and ones that I know aren't going to do as well tend to get put on the back burner.

[@JPRC_CRAZINESS]

Hell yeah that took some poundings and that new ramp kicks it up nice💪🏻👊🏻😎

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think I'll be breaking more things with this new ramp :-)

[@rueagonvyceratops2879]

yup to much for me even as a budget 5th scale rc truck or buggy.

[@DoRC]

Is a lot of money but you get a lot for it. Anyway thanks for commenting and if you aren't ready to subscribed a sub is appreciated :-)

[@aemrico]

Should be the same as the Baja wheels for th need locks

[@DoRC]

Yep. I ended up 3D printing a set of rings. So far they're holding up great and look much better than the dish covers

[@stephanez8036]

i'm happy to see some exposure for this brand !

[@DoRC]

Feel free to share the video wherever you can :-) thanks for watching!

[@brucebaker0316]

Does it have reverse? Lol

[@DoRC]

No not on this one.

[@keldonator]

I don't see much as far as parts availability. Have you looked into what stuff is available for it? I was leaning towards the 5b just because of parts availability

[@DoRC]

Fearless RC has most replacement parts for it as well as a kit to upgrade it to the new version too. A lot of the parts are 5B compatible as well though I'm not entirely sure which ones are and which ones aren't.

[@stonejss727]

did you ever try the truck suspension arms

[@DoRC]

Not yet. They're still sitting in a bag waiting to be installed. I definitely will be in the future though

[@stonejss727]

@@DoRC will they fit for sure?

[@DoRC]

Yes. It's a pretty common mod

[@gradydeadsy6001]

Ditch the 29 and go with the high speed gearing set. You will thank me later.

[@gradydeadsy6001]

Tires are trash as well

[@DoRC]

Yeah I might do that down the road so far I'm pretty happy with the power that it has.

[@DoRC]

For the terrain I'm running on so far I'm happy with the tires. I am interested in trying others down the road though. What do you recommend?

[@gradydeadsy6001]

@@DoRC I like the hostile racing clones from rovan!

[@DoRC]

Ill take a look!

[@eddierivera8910]

Any Update on this Buggy?

[@DoRC]

There will be one soon. I've been running and bashing it and had no issues whatsoever other than stripping a pinion which was my fault. I have the V2 upgrade kit sitting in a box waiting to go in at which will be with the new video will be about!

[@eddierivera8910]

@@DoRC sounds good 👍 can’t wait to see the updated version 👍😎

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm excited to get it together

[@DoRC]

You can use the arms and axle shafts from the short course truck to widen the truck quite a bit. Check out fearless RC they have a full V2 kit that Make the arms a bit wider though not quite as wide as with the short course truck kit. It also has a bunch of other upgrades. I'll be doing a video about it soon.

[@runngunrc1991]

That’s not to shabby if I could put Losi 5B parts I’m sold. You were beating like drums my man. I’m impressed with durability.

[@DoRC]

Pretty much everything in front of and behind the center drive shafts is 5ive b compatible.

[@butzaman5139]

Do you sell the xmaxx 1.5 mod spur gear?

[@DashzRight]

Good vid, although that thing looks ugly af, it reminds me to a beetle or some kind of insect

[@DoRC]

Thanks :-) it doesn't look nearly as bad in person. After I got rid of the wheel hubcap things I kind of like it.

[@jamesfauth3394]

Bash the gasss

[@DoRC]

Heck yeah man! I'm really enjoying mine. Thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated :-)

[@joseCalderon1976]

This cheap truck looks nice, durable and good for the price. Thanks for the video 👍

[@DoRC]

I'm still amazed at how durable it is at any price. It blows me with this thing can slam into one corner from 15 ft in the air and not break something with how much it weighs. Definitely one to get! Thanks for watching and if you haven't already subscribed a sub is appreciated:)

[@DoRC]

@@joseCalderon1976 Awesome thanks :-)

[@Blueknight1960]

Not trying to sound like an asshole but, that wasn't 15-20 ft in the air. It might have gone 15-20 ft distance but not up, 10 ft up maybe. It just wasn't going fast enough to get very high. This is my own personal opinion, I wouldn't pay $750+ for a gas rc that is only 2wd and only goes 37 mph plus gas/nitro is just too loud.

[@DoRC]

I appreciate your opinion but keep in mind that the camera always distorts how things look and the camera itself is 6 ft in the air. I have no way of measuring it of course and maybe I'm way off but that's what it feels like to me :-) I can definitely also understand not wanting to get a vehicle like this but I didn't think I would like it before I bought it and now I really enjoy it. Anyway thanks for watching and commenting and a sub is appreciated!

[@thatoneguy2756]

It's 4wd

[@DoRC]

@@thatoneguy2756 hey I missed that yeah it 4wd:)

[@Blueknight1960]

@@thatoneguy2756 Well looking at the front wheel, they are not kicking up dirt like the rear. I have a dbxl-e 2.0 which is 4wd and all 4 tires kick up dirt, not so in the video.

[@DoRC]

Not only is it four-wheel drive but it doesn't even have a center differential so the front wheels are getting exactly the same power as the rear ones.

[@QuinnsRC]

Impressive durability!

[@DoRC]

Definitely!

[@mathewgarrard3621]

Liking the new ramp 👍👍

[@DoRC]

Thanks! I'm really enjoying it as well. It's nice not to have to set the thing back up two or three times per session and actually having a slope on it is much easier on the vehicles.

Sweet ride

Yeah its pretty awesome! Thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated:)
