[@One.eyedfisherman]

Grabbing one on Friday, thanks for getting the unboxing, review and first run videos out so quick.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Planted! Stock setup seems to work well, car is very neutral and handles the jumps well. Got to love wheelers, especially on carpet - crazy!

[@dustinfields2055]

The jump right before the strait stretch is awesome! Probably not beginner friendly though.

[@jesusgonzalez193]

Awesome Driving

[@rashadtolliver6995]

Love the vid!! Love that your track is gray carpet like mine! I have a 22x4 can’t wait to see your comparison video.

[@innovativerc7155]

Nice Video! That buggy does pretty well on the track! Team associated do know how to make some good handling RCs. Keep up the great content! 👍

[@Mark_5150]

I can see why people like carpet, traction isn't an issue. I may start driving out to the carpet track.

[@VestedUTuber]

Carpet does give huge amounts of traction. Too much in fact, IMO. It's pushed the designs of off-road vehicles in a direction that makes them overspecialized towards high-traction surfaces. A carpet-focused car is essentially only usable for racing due to its extremely low ground clearance, whereas a dirt-focused one can do double-duty as a light or even medium-duty basher depending on the vehicle type. I have nothing against running off-road on carpet, but it needs to be its own separate thing. It's hard to get people into racing if they need an entirely separate car for racing right off the bat.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Not a fan of carpet, I mean these are off-road buggies, right?! And it takes an entirely different car to run carpet, meaning a second kit or constant back and forth with one chassis, which gets tiring real fast! All that being said, a track, any track, is a good thing, regardless of surface (especially in this day and age)!

[@fidelgarcia5683]

Coming from the rckiwis and they were right you are a pro nice run

[@kjohns236]

In the middle of building my kit now! Will be cool to hear the comparisons with the other buggies..

[@jknewb6276]

Holy moly Razors on fire keep me coming, sweet buggy!

[@robertmoore119]

The new car looks cool. The running video doesn't look bad either. No comment necessary, but I saw that you seem to have an extreme amount of + toe on the car. Is that for the extra entry response, or could you use extra ackerman to gain low speed turn radius? That much + toe seems like it would kill your straight line speed and make the car twitchy. There might be other ways to gain initial turn entry response. You could try dialing in some braking, rather than 0 if that is what you run.

[@clickybread]

Just got my b74.1d today!

[@austinhamilton07lbz]

I'm building my b74.1 right now and norcal is my local track

[@juanmejia-iy6ig]

Sick run

[@MrZimeir]

damn I wanna run carpet so bad, great driving dude

[@marklowry8799]

Why don’t you?

[@MrZimeir]

@@marklowry8799 no place near my home that runs carpet, I have to drive out of az to Vegas I think is the closet one

[@seniordaywalker503]

Another excellent video... You may have been the first in the world to publish a review on the build and running!! My one struggles to cram all the wiring under the body nicely. I noticed that you have rather longer wires - is this on purpose? Does it create a degree of flexibility for moving wires around to fit under the windows? My motor wires are slightly messy as my ABC wires from ESC to motor need to be AC, BB, CA with my particular choice of components. Your thoughts please - I am a first timer for 4wd 1/10 offroad.

[@RazorRC]

Did you angle the motor tabs on the motor so that they're to the side of the motor? I left the battery wires long so that if I use the ESC in another car, I don't have to redo the battery wires. No other reason.

[@seniordaywalker503]

@@RazorRC yes, they're on a diagonal angle, the only appropriate angle.

[@iknowu246]

Making the switch from tlr 22-4 1.0 to the AE b74.1

[@Docmcfly233]

Nice stuff. Compare this to the Yokomo!?!? Keep up great vids.

[@rosone51178]

looks really stable

[@LegendsPizzaCo]

another great video. im so close to pulling the trigget on this exact model. I know its an older model and probably why its on sale but for $319 but for that price i dont see anything better. Do you have any suggestions on another buggy at that price point?

[@RazorRC]

I'm selling my previous 2wd buggy, the B6.4 if you're interested, shoot me an email in the About section on my channel page.

[@LegendsPizzaCo]

@@RazorRC will do thank you

[@LegendsPizzaCo]

@RazorRC I feel blind lol. I see all the ig, yt, and fb links but I don't see a way to email. I sent you a msg on ig from my other business page Diecast Garage. Thank you Razor

[@timexchen]

Their website says indoor track is closed due to covid 19. Was this filmed in NorCal Hobbies San Jose? Do they have indoor clay track as well? Thanks!

[@juanmejia-iy6ig]

Sick

[@luisamador9699]

No way That hobby shop is like an hour away .I’ve been there once I’m from the east bay ,where are you from razor?

[@reedridesbikes7535]

Hey question, is NorCal’s track open to the public yet? I have been wanting to drive by buggy there but the track was closed to covid

[@kreechuh]

Hey man I know this isn't directly related to the video but I am planning on purchasing a TLR 22 5.0 AC kit and was just going to ask someone who knows a lot about RC what electronics they would recommend.

[@giorgiocastro]

Hello, big step over the B74 ? I can afford one for 200 bucks in good condition, i'm hesite with the b74.1... Thanks

[@RMerritts66]

Did you run a paintball channel 13-14 years ago? Voice seems familiar from my paintball days

[@RazorRC]

Someone said I sounded like a paintball guy from another channel (I can't remember the name), but it wasn't me. Although I watched that channel and I was very heavily into paintball about 20 years ago. I think I still have a Bob Long G6R somewhere around the house...

[@RMerritts66]

@@RazorRC his name is mike philips i believe the channel was techpb

[@RazorRC]

@@RMerritts66 thanks, aha, yes that's the channel I watched! so funny that people think I sound like him.

[@jerrycheng5409]

Great review. What front/rear tire were you using ?

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

Has anyone ever made a race track with shag carpeting?

[@rcbuggies57]

bet it would be a really interesting feel, but there would be insane issues with shedding and the threads getting caught in the drive train, bearings, shocks, etc.

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

@@rcbuggies57 haha good points, it would be messy and all over the place.

[@JeepsCafe]

Any one know what happened to Ultimate RC? I don't see reviews from him anymore.

[@RazorRC]

he's doing Lego reviews now under jangbricks

[@marktomlin1442]

Can you also run nihmi in this also

[@RazorRC]

Mark Tomlin no, shorty lipo battery only

[@ryansmith8782]

Does it include that motor fan mount?

[@RazorRC]

yup

[@cloane85]

Me: That track looks pretty dope Track: 5:44 nah bruh think again

[@RackwitzG]

I wonder why everyone runs a clear rear and front wing. Is there a rule or a purpose on this?

[@performancedanny]

We scuff them with Scotch-Brite so it helps you see them. The film is on the wrong side for painting. Most Racers don't want to put paint on the wing to save wait! believe it or not. You can't paint them but the paint will get scratched off fairly easily. They also sell carbon fiber look, and I know Schumacher makes a white wing. That was a good question!

[@RackwitzG]

@@performancedanny Thanks. Well, I'm trying to soak up everything and that caught my eye.
