Dave, Wonderful addition to your collection of videos. I'm a Dad myself and think it's great you get to do this with your boys. I love your humility and ownership of every goof. I call myself a Muppet too. Thanks for including the rest of us out in the world of KZbin. Sincerely

[@HardcoreRC]

It certainly is great to be able to enjoy the hobby with the boys, and to see what they can do with an RC. what kids do you have and how old are they ? thank you for joining us and watching on KZbin 👍👍

What camera are you using inside car and also whsts that part called that stops the throttle servo moving under braking its the alloy part thanks . Great videos . I have the 30dnt also with the obr 34cc ss , great cars .

[@HardcoreRC]

I use an Insta 360 Go 2, really need to set up a nice area to mound it inside onto fo the roof. This is the servo brace www.rcmodelz.co.uk/upgrades/30dnt-losi-5ive-t-upgrade-parts.html/steering-brakes/rc-rock-armor-losi-5ive-brake-bracket-silver.html Yes they are great cars, so much fun

[@allrc6339]

Great driving callum

[@HardcoreRC]

Thank you, Callum is getting a bit of a reputation as the person to beat now

[@jimbojones2457]

Love the video mate! I just bought a Traxxas X MAXX. Can't wait for it to arrive! I used to have a Losi 5T. Nothing but a money pit! I did all the upgrades to it...the servo brace, different clutch cover, outer wears, tuned pipe, kill switch, fancy billet pull start, Zenoah 32cc like the one you put in. Every time i took it out something would break and i wasn't even giving it a hard time. I sold it as it was a joke! They're not a tough RC. They're fun, yes! But not tough. I had a Traxxas Revo 3.3 nitro and that little thing copped so much more abuse than the Losi 5T and it never broke ANYTHING! For years! So much tougher rc. Losi end up costing you an arm and a leg after you've donated a kidney!

[@HardcoreRC]

Xmaxx is such a great basher, really hope you enjoy, does need a few things done out the box, but once done oh boys such a great car. I get what you are saying on the Losi, but we are actually finding it super tough for what we do with it, the racing is hard, like days of thunder and it shocks me the abuse it takes given its size, at the same time i do find i work on it more than the other cars we have, but part of that's is because i actually enjoy working on it as its so easy to work on. Some parts are stupid cheap like arms, hinge pins etc, then other parts are stupid expensive, but they sure are fun to drive 😂😂

[@KURSKI-Star]

Great video what's your favorite rc car

[@HardcoreRC]

Favorite is a tough one, would really depend on what its being used for. Pure driving, experience, immersion, sound, smell etc it has to be the Losi 5t, but then if racing it would be a Tekno, if hard bashing Xmaxx

[@stevekeiron30]

@@HardcoreRC Yeah they sure did. It was a few years ago though and not exactly quick lol. Had a Jetpro pipe on it which helped a bit. That's fair enough matey

[@proautojapan6152]

How long do the servos last ? Been using Hitech w845 1 burnt out considering, thanks

[@HardcoreRC]

Have had one go and it was replaced under warranty, probably more my fault as was running without the rubber dampers, it was the POT that went after two runs. No other issues and also most of the guys i run with are also running these servos with no issues, plus know loads that run in the Arrma 1/5th with no issues

[@proautojapan6152]

@@HardcoreRC POT ? Sorry my english is bad after 30 years in japan.. My servo overheated- burnt the circut board. End points were not 100% i tuned to about 70 under. For less strain. Though i burnt it out after maybe 5 uses 🤷‍♂️ over a span of 1 year - i was not cover under warranty 😱😱 threw in thw stock one for now. Still have run it though i do fear failure - mines pretty modified- always a concern right

[@HardcoreRC]

@@proautojapan6152 POT = potentiometer, its the sensor that knows what position the servo is in. All electrical items are subject to failur, these servos have been very good with myself and quite a few others i know that run them, and the plus side is they are also cheap for thier size and power, they cost twice this if we bought same ones in UK stores

[@Anton-gz1go]

I love the losi. Its my dream rc but can’t afford one. One day I will! Also glad that you are ok mate. My respect to Callum for driving like a pro!

[@HardcoreRC]

They are a of of money that's for sure, most people i know buy the 30 degree north that is far less, as long as you dont start putting big powerful engines in them they actually hold up very well

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

[@RCFunEveryday]

Definitely one of the most fun sides of the hobby, I miss my large scale collection. Tip; don't go crazy on 'run in' (idling) it builds up unnecessary heat and the 32 Zenoah really doesn't like heat build up. Run gently for half a tank, let it cool down, then start leaning out the carb a little bit, but the 32s do like the run a tiny bit on the rich side as well. As someone who RCs with my Dad, I love watching you out with your sons :)

[@HardcoreRC]

Hi and thanks for the tips, i need to learn about running rich or lean and how to tell from listening to the engine, doesn't help that i cant hear that well 😂😂 we tend to fire it up, do a warm, up lap or two before doing any racing etc. Nice to hear you go out RC'ing with your dad, such a great bonding time that's for sure and im sure 👍👍

[@RCFunEveryday]

@@HardcoreRC You'll also be able to tell if theirs a lot of smoke or no smoke at all coming from the exhaust, you want a small amount, especially when cold, but not leaving a big blue trail around the track basically :) its easy enough to get the hang of though. And yes it is, few videos on my channel of us with the Bajas and Losi 5ives... Mostly into the crawlers only these days though.

[@doublem6027]

What camera do you use in the rc?

[@HardcoreRC]

Insta360 Go2

Jeeezus glad you're ok David.. That could've went really bad. The Losi is a beast 🔥

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks, yep it could have been really bad, i tend not to go out now when they are racing like that, especially when there are loads going round. Really loving the Losi, hard to explain why, but so glad we bought it

[@islandrc-duke1972]

awesome rc and cool run on the track

[@HardcoreRC]

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed 👍👍

[@Smile-N-Bear]

The Beast is back! Sorry you had so many problems Bro. Weve all had those days! love the camera work. Get rid of that pull start and use a drill. Save your shoulders! Always a pleasure!💪

[@HardcoreRC]

The beast is back, it actually comes out with us every time we go out the boys love driving it that much. Just one of those things, it was multiple hand and likely around 10 years old, so lots of parts were just worn out, not much of the car i bought actually left now 😂 cant really get a drill into the area i need to be able to start it that way, as long as we follow the correct produce its actually very easy to start, normally within 2 or 3 pulls, even Callum can start it now

[@lyleallyssanashookpuk3636]

Electric conversion Hardcore👍😂

[@HardcoreRC]

Noooo, love the sound and the smell and they way they drive, i get why some people do the conversion, but for use we will keep it petrol, Crazy that a G320 is actually far far far cheaper than a electric motor and esc, a max5 would cost more than the G320

[@tobydyes]

He's got to practice with that castle system and program it

[@HardcoreRC]

Martyn was having huge issues with the flier ESC, just couldn't get it so moderate the power, he is now running on a Max5, it goes well now

[@hobbykita5193]

GAME OVERRR

[@HardcoreRC]

The Losi is running sweet now (touch wood) just needed a lot of TLC being about 10th hand 😂😂

[@js64984]

Probably just needed a spark plug and magneto reset, another cool video though!

I was recently bashing around with my Sledge when it hit a rut and shot into my leg before I could jump out of the way. It's been 17 days and my wound is only about 50% healed up. Be careful out there as even a 10-12 lb car at 30mph will ruin your day if it hits you just right.

Ouch thats sounds nasty, yeah people forget how much damage these cars can do, have taken a few hits now, worst being a broken big toe when Granite 3s hit it head on. Hope your leg heals up soon

[@RecklessRcuk]

Top tip for starting a petrol engine, pull the pull start slowly until you feel resistance, that should be at tdc, release the pull start then give it a proper pull, saves all the un necessary arm ache

[@HardcoreRC]

ok thanks for the tip, will give it a go 👍👍

When you're changing parts over on an engine should be using loctite
