Primal MT Raminator 1/5 GAS truck - Build and Assembly (Suspension & Brakes - part 1)

[@andrestokes5920]

Dude! Love your energy, enthusiasm, and no bullshit/nonsense filler. You speak clearly so that people can understand and you increase my passion for rc cars ans trucks! Never quit. We need you!

[@hybrid32494]

hey man, love your comment, thank you so much!! I've always loved unique RCs, just like this. A true Rc guy will like even the cheap nitros from REDCAT, which I've got many of at this point too. This is a true piece of engineering, thank you for following this with me as I build it. Today I took a break to run my traxxas Jato.

I'll never have one of these but I am enjoying your videos building this beast. It is a marvel of engineering and you are entertaining!👌😁😍

hey buddy!! How you been? I Have not seen you comment much lately, hope things are not any worse and lets stay positive. Thanks for watching this series, I am finally finished building this, releasing that video tomm I hope.

[@GrumpyOldManRC]

Yeah, I've been struggling a bit but am getting much better. I think my getting into drones has helped tremendously. I love your videos. Your persona is just perfect and always makes me smile. Thank you for just being you.😎😁👍👍

Great Job My PRIMAL MT Brotha 💥🤝. I finally finished my MT yesterday . I just got to find time to chop it up and upload it. I love sushi 🍣 but I don’t know if I would eat it at a buffet place ??? That place looked good though. Talk soon! My truck is number 3 my favorite number after KING 👑 CHEVY BROTHER Dale Earnhardt.

[@kingshiloh868]

That engine is beautiful

[@hybrid32494]

totally agree. BTW , it's got a velocity stack already on the carb, there is no stock gas RC that comes with that. The upgrades and parts on this are incredible. Engine is rated for 6+ HP.

[@cwatson42785]

I never heard of car action magazine! I'll have to check it out!

[@hybrid32494]

YUP, it's the Car and Driver or RC cars, lol. Called Remote Control Car Action Magazine. Current issued suck, because it's almost 100% electrics and they are all relatively the same. But I have ones from the early 2000's, those were dope.

[@NVZ249]

It looks awesome wow bro.

[@hybrid32494]

thanks my dude!!! glad you watched this, I've been doing pretty detailed vids on this, my next one comes out tomm. Others who got this might have already started it, but I am treating this like a science project, lol. JK.

[@STEVOD313]

Its coming together awesome

[@hybrid32494]

I know right, at first it's kind ov overwhelming when you look at the stuff you need to assemble. But really it's so simple. The entire electric system is incredible too, that'll be in the next video. I've never seen such a well thought out electric system with the insane servos this has. 140KG for steering, you think I need an upgrade?? JK LOL>

Although you're right, most of the world's cultures who live to be older than the mean(AVG) population's age do in fact consume a good amount of sushi and seafood. Unlike here in the Western part of the world, where we cook everything.

[@jefflohr5533]

Up late and working early hahaha! Bro sorry I had to take down my vid! Im gonna redo another one. I was not happy with my work and had to redo once I found out the right torque to put on that carb after watching Botajell! I was afraid to break the reed housing but it can take some torque!! We want all the air we can going in and nothing leaking out bro🤣!

[@hybrid32494]

It's cool how we al watch each others vids on this same exact RC and yet we still learn stuff from each other, right!! For now I am not messing with the choke, until I break it in fully and do pull-ups with it, lol. BTW on your model, the screws going into the brake caliper assembly (the slide pins with springs) were those screws tight? One of mine is loose and I've just applied thread lock to it!!

[@jefflohr5533]

hybrid32494 brother it is very cool! I had no idea what to torque at because I just now start torquing stuff so Im real glad Boat had that vid up. And bro you have to remove that choke brother it will let dirt in your carb. My Choke would not even stay open kept falling to the closed position. And as for my brakes one side was loctite tight and the other side no locktite and loose as a goose🤣. My whole truck is like that some screws have locktite and some dont. That why I checking everything before I run it.

[@jefflohr5533]

hybrid32494 now to answer your question bro! I think the way the drive shafts work opposing each other is a unique feature to this truck. The losi mtxl my Tmaxx and XMaxx all rotate the same direction.

[@rw2king]

Excellent detailed video as usual keep up the great work 👍🍜🥡🥠

[@hybrid32494]

[@hybrid32494]

hey!! The 5T is really different from this, you'll need to buy a remote and a good pipe and killswitch ASAP with the 5T. Not the end of the world, still a solid truck. But this is different. I will eventually break it in and test out it's top speed with the speed gears, we will see. thank you for watching.

[@christianwornall1047]

I wish Traxxas would a petrol RC car I think they did back in the 1980s or 90s fantastic it bit of kit Hope the build goes well from one gym person to another coffee to keep you awake while building protein to keep your strength up then eat lightly after 7 a.m. then sleep

[@hybrid32494]

hey man, thanks for following this series with me, it's rare such an interesting RC comes out on the market, and here it is. BTW, yes, you're right Traxxas used to sell a GAs RC. it was called the traxxas monster buggy. IT was 7-800 bucks, was really a 1/6 scale, slow, really ugly and didn't sell many units. I'd still like to find one someday, just for historical value.

[@MRCG68]

hello dude :) can i put you here a link to teh french still brushless conversion ? :) 2x 56114 360kv motors no clutch but a cuch drive and 2x 18s :) 20hp 50kmh 40min run time with 5500mah :)

[@OrcaBoat3]

It would be even sweeter if the truck had double-shocks at each wheel, and maybe even leaf springs!

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, the axles are designed for up to 2 shocks to be mounted on them at once. You're on the right track. Some people have installed two shocks already, but they are not necessary. These shocks are beyond anything you would ever need anyway. thanks for watching btw!

[@OrcaBoat3]

@@hybrid32494 Cool! yea, it don't need the 2 shocks per wheel, but it would make the truck look even more beefy!

What is your honest opinion on the Raminator. Is it worth the money and will I have fun with it?

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Thanks for watching! I still have this truck and it's one of my most prized RCs, I will never get rid of it. I towed a whole damn tree with it, and drove it over myself, so the fun is there, lol. My top speed on stock gears is about 16 MPH, but it can do 30 with the taller gear sets. Really comes down to appreciating this one of a kind RC, nothing else like it. Watch my other vids, you will see.

[@rcromehobbies9242]

Friggin awesome man, I love all the detail shots for me its just sexy. Each of those pieces are machined beautiful. Primal RC really put some great R&A on this product. One of things i kinda dont like is that stainless color on the springs wish it was painted black or light gray, But thats just me. LOL

[@hybrid32494]

hey man, thanks you for watching and appreciating this unique truck. I totally agree, the attention to detail here is not a cookie-cutter approach, you can tell the designer is a true RC guy who built this to his optimal preferences.

#37 for my bro!

[@ericcssonv5329]

The coils on that thing are sick, better be able to take some jumps, although i wouldnt wanna risk bashing a $3k truck.

[@hybrid32494]

hey!! Did you see the shout out I gave you in my last video where I was doing pull-ups at the midland playground?? Now that it's mostly assembled I need to attempt it with double that weight. Almost done with the assembly, these in depth videos take a longtime, but the reality is the truck assembly itself is really about an hour at best.

[@rcplayer7581]

The balls are common , but ball to flange is unique . i wonder how many were built for the 1st order

[@hybrid32494]

Whats up my dude!! YEP, to maximize the suspension geometry of this 4-link every singe connection point has to be designed for maximum axle articulation, not so easy to do when you have an 80 pound gas truck, Right. I'll be curious on how the ride is affected without the sway bars, I don't think anyone has disconnected them yet to find out. thanks for watching.

Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work lol would have to sell a real car to buy one of those loving this one still do you have any emaxx the first generation or the super maxx

[@hybrid32494]

I used to own the first gen E-Maxx (the one with the shift on the fly 2 speed), it was 100% my fav electric RC ever, I am looking for one right now too. I have a first generation HPI E-Savage, also has the twin 550 motors, but just one gear. And guess what, I actually did sell a car to get this thing, I used to have a pristine 50K low mileage 98 Honda Civic.

[@cwatson42785]

Hey hybrid great video buddy! How much did this cost again? I know it is around 2 grand but can you give me a solid fiqure? Thanks!

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, SURE, This is currently 2,900, plus 100 shipping and tax if your state charges it. SO it's not the cheapest. When I pre-ordered it I got a 200 discount and paid 2,700 at the time. Thats why I pre-ordered it to begin with. Sold my civic and I was set.

[@gorillabeartech4577]

That truck is badass man. It’s too much for someone like me man. If I ever do get a gas it’ll probably be a T-Maxx, Jato 3.3, Revo 3.3 or a Primal rc monster truck like the one here. 80 lbs dude my god I would have one hell of a time making it fit anywhere lol. I thought my mamba monster 1/8 e Revo was big lmfao.

[@hybrid32494]

whats up my dude!!! YUP, this thing is huge, it really is 1/5 scale when compared to a real monster jam truck, I checked. BTW, you should look for a jato 3.3, you would love those for speed runs.

[@gorillabeartech4577]

hybrid32494 I just swapped my pinion and spur from 20/54 on my traxxas slash 4x4 vxl 3500 KV yesterday and I bought and had the 23/50 gearing installed the same day at the hobbyshop. I was stuck between 62-64 mph on 20/54 gearing on 3S using a 4400 mah 75C rated battery and with some rear semi worn down tread on the wheels. Yesterday after the 23/50 gearing I finally broke that and got 65.7 and 67.7 mph. With a fresh set of wheels and a fully charged battery from the start I’m easily at 70-74 mph maybe even 75 mph. All i need is a fresh set of wheels and a onroad touring car body.

[@norm1233]

The front breaks are the exact same as the front breaks I got 4 years ago or 5, for my baja, so you know it's a proven system, cuz they worked good.

[@hybrid32494]

whats up youtube homie!!! IDK if you know this, but I have a BAJA with front disk brakes, and they suck on that model. Tough to adjust the left/right brake bias, and they are just weak in general. This primal design which puts them on the center driveshafts is the best, because you have no Left to right brake issues, since they will be the same.

[@norm1233]

@@hybrid32494 see my front breaks worked amazing! This winter I'm doing a 100% overhaul chassis on up refresh and new chassis, debating the 4" extended version and a third servo for front breaks only so I can do burnouts! Plus widen it 2"-4"... But anyways how it is now my savox throttle servo locks my fronts up quick I love my fronts.

[@abdulazizalsalman2033]

you are freaking awesome how do you do it

[@natashahanna8798]

I know you picked it up from the manufacturer, but how much did you pay. As my local hobby store estimates $2800 Aussie dollars. $600 more than Losi 5T is it worth the extra

[@hybrid32494]

hey man, I paid the Pro-order price of 2,700 when I paid for this. I showed the invoice amounts and the paid invoices in my prior videos. The current price is 2,900, because there is no longer the special pre-order bonus as everyone had during the first pre-order. I also did not have to pay any additional shipping charges because I picked it up. Trust me, this is a different level truck compared to a 5T, it's got loads more stuff on it, and much heavier. ofcourse also slower, keep that in mind.

[@revparsons3tl]

Botajell has number 3 witch he shows on one of his build videos

[@hybrid32494]
