These are a great race brand... I've been using the SB401R on carpet for the last two seasons, you'd swear it was on rails! Then recently I've finally caved in for letting it get dirty outdoors at a race event - it didnt disappoint! What a machine.. really solid RC. I also have the 2WD stadium truck, the 2WD S1 V3 Evo, and only last night I ordered the S1 RM as a birthday treat for myself 😎 Crackin' video as always, thanks for helping to bring PR to the masses, a very underrated brand.

I've been running PR RACING S1V3R EVO and SB401-R SPORT here in America for 4 years now these cars are great and easy to maintain. I race on hard packed dirt/clay at both of my local tracks so I run the center differential in my SB401-R with 500k oil in it. Great video I'm looking forward to seeing you race more this year with it.

I love that you gave this car the chance it deserves. I have this car and was so impressed with how it ran straight out of the box. Ran the whole season with it last year, and managed 6th in the Australian nationals against scores of said "big brand" racers. Great videos mate keep it up

These cars are great . You could contact Julian Hardy in New Zealand he is the PR guy and knows the brand plus he's the NZ supplier . He has made a lot of upgrades for all the PR range.

I love mine although it’s the older one. Only thing I didn’t like was the exposed gear in the middle. But. No problem I made a cover and printed it off. No worries about the wires catching now. Body is awesome. Need to update mine. 👍🏻

Nice drive sir. As expected, it is a user friendly car. Watching you drive [especially on the straights] you are no longer a "noob", with an insane motor/esc combo on a first run, wow. I remember when I first drove mine [13.5T motor], everything was toned down.

Great body and very nice driving. Try the tyres 1st and then the rest... I would say tyres are 90% (maybe more...) of the setup 😉 The Corsatec motor and ESC were up to the task 😮🤪🚀

Yep the ESC and motor are perfect for this.

Pr racing using to have a big Uk off road team but in recent years this has fallen away once the original distributor changed hands etc. however in my experience it’s quite a well developed product for racing and has everything a racer would need. Just needs a new UK team to help push ahead with setups and development again.

Good race for sure. You did the car proud being it's your first drive. Are these cars best suited for carpet or can they rip just as well on dirt?

Quality Video Gav.....nice car and speedo combination. They are definitely worth considering and dealing with Modeltune is always a pleasure to deal with. Also interesting to see over time how much your driving skill has improved. Not sure about the Titanium screws tbh is hey will actually save and weight ....but that could be a subject for another video. Thanks mate !

car looks prity dialed if its not for a little touch of to fast on the straight and the technical sections, tune down the esc a bit to calm the car down and that will improve the handling in the tighter sections where lot of time is waisted on over shooting corners spining out and crash.

what bullet connectors are these
@RCKickschannel9 ай бұрын
You have two types available. 4mm and 5mm, I use the 4mm as you can also use adapters to run 5mm lipo connectors so it gives you more flexibility if you fit 4mm

Its a grease made by Team Associated that's normally used to help lubricate the O Rings and to prevent damage on the shock shafts. People also use it to help seal the diffs by coating the gasket material.
