Testing Temps & Changing Tires - B6.2 Buggy Build Series - Part 4

[@roadhog29389]

Shows the importance of good airflow. Also, Good day for Ice-Cream

[@jerryvolpini7987]

The most significant tuning option for any car - tires! 👍

[@jameswalker4428]

This is my favourite series by far!!

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Brett, i used to race with the Schumacher blue mini pins, seems nothing has changed much in 35 years lol , Schumacher products still rock man. Awesome driving skills on the track, it looks great. That’s a class rc , making me miss buggy racing. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@chillyrc]

This fan should be installed at least 5mm away from the motor to allow sufficient air flow and prevent magnet interference.

[@Kanooky_Jones]

Agree with the spacing on motor, could have also been a connection issue as well. Plus, depending on whether your buggy is set up for 6.0v or 7.4v, there may be some additional cooling flexibility from the fan if you can run at 7.4v (and not already). My cut-offs would have kicked long before that motor ever got that warm. I’m not even comfortable at 165, I always keep at 140 or lower, but that’s real tough when it’s 108 ambient... good video though.

[@paulpadilla5288]

Yes on the wax.....it's helps keep it clean....wax the body too...less wind resistance.

[@andyhamilton2202]

Good results! Keep us updated on what happens with that fan. Curious as to why it kept cutting in and out.

[@harlyquin]

Dude, That paint job is sick, are you planning on doing a tutorial on how to achive this look, including what paints were used, how to musk it out the same and so on.

[@Dutters.dirtbikes]

Your welcome Bret for the body cutting and fan location tip 😁👍

[@Cam-fq4rh]

This series is so enjoyable! Thank you !

[@stevejackson3564]

I appreciate your videos the very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you a main hobbies

[@Toddothegoddo]

Love the build waiting for my stuff to come in the mail!!!

[@nate1593]

Good practical demonstration. Would have been interested to hear lap time difference with brass bulkhead. Good job in those conditions!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The lap timer is usually on and announcing at the track, not sure why it wasn't that day. But that would be interesting to know. I can notice the bulkhead, along with a 1mm lower front ride height than the rear, really allows the car to rotate much faster around the tight 180 turns. Better front tires would further help, or maybe eliminate the need for the brass. Kind of a bummer to add 30 grams to a stock buggy that we want lightweight, but the performance gain feels worth it with the current setup. -Brett

[@HL-OOI]

Wa it’s really hot in the summer..nice driving..👍🏻

[@RcOffroad9513]

108 wow! Good luck at the race if you go!

[@billimono4480]

holy smokes, it's real hot out there in Chico lol

[@danielwild5385]

love this series! keep up the great vids guys!

[@throttletwist4300]

Clean buggy. Super hot temps outside but looked like low enough motor temps. For that kind of heat. Hope you get the fan issue figured out. Thing looks dialed!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yeah, we too were surprised the motor stayed that cool for the outside temps. Pretty impressive for how hard the buggy was being pushed. We have figured out the issue too. Next video... -Brett

[@throttletwist4300]

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks for the update!

[@PopGhost]

love the racing videos, thanks!

[@nickjonesrc]

Moving the fan like you told me lowered my temps almost 20 degrees!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That's fan-tastic Nick. It was good seeing you and your dad at the track. Congrats on your wins again. -Brett

[@Storyracing387]

I make car stands out of recycled foam from my job 😁 I have like five of them! One is duel purpose as it is also a shock holder.

[@massourc2908]

Amazing results

[@darrenford939]

Great video. I think this video has inspired my to do a fan comparison in my RC car.

Man I didn’t catch that. Now I’m crying!!! Gotta love these vids!!!

[@driftcraze2138]

😂🤣😂

[@EK-np4nx]

Brett, I don’t know if you oiled the bearing in the fan yet, but if you haven’t, that may be the reason why it’s going in and out.

[@ryansmith8782]

Poor Bret with the tires lol hope you guys got him some new ones xD ps I think it’s wax already

[@Kaylem13]

My local track you gotta go through a whole rigmarole because of covid bull***t = not doing it, rc fun cancelled here in UK. Sold my motorbike to in February and bought thousands of £ for the rc hobby, b6. 2 dirt with all Laydown extras, old B44 and b6 stealth and b74 etc.... Can't use any of it now, fit for the trash I guess. Still love these vids. Thanks man

[@GrumpyBulb]

Tracks are opening back up in UK, both PDMCC & North West Nitro are scheduling races - outdoor of course. BRCA have issued guidelines also. Keep the faith brother, we're coming through it!

[@joshheyde4410]

I had the same problem with the Protek fan mounted there, I switched to an all plastic Reedy motor fan and it took care of the problem.

[@jcchaconjr]

At 5:28, I'm guessing you didn't trust the "30g" engraved on the bulkhead? 😂 Anyway, I hope the issue with the fan is a simple one - I need to get one for my buggy, and a lot of people seem to be saying that the Protek is the one to get. And MAAAAN, I hope you guys move that hairpin on the straight all the way to the end! I would still wanna ride the wall coming off that long straight, even though it's like another 10 feet past the hairpin, lol!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That wall ride off the straight would be awesome! Not sure why the track is setup the way it is. For the weights, I was more interested in what the plastic piece weighed and the difference between the two pieces, for anyone that wanted to know. Cheers. -Brett

[@RC-ty5ym]

Nice video as usual.

[@MatrixRC]

Do what ya gotta do! Hehehe😂👍🏼💯

[@cathyoyeleke831]

I'm assuming the Fan is too close to the motor; Had the same problem in the past. And according to the Manufacture "This fan should be installed at least 5mm away from the motor to allow sufficient air flow and prevent magnet interference"

[@oriolgarcia8233]

Wow, you are cert nice driver

[@dawsonbrucks3001]

You should try jconcepts swaggers on the front.

[@danchaplin134]

[@BOOGiNS]

I wonder how much of the temp difference had to do with cutting the body vs moving the fan

[@rickliners6123]

I agree. The lexan was covering the fan on the previous mount.

[@one18thscaleracer]

I love this series of like to see similar for other types of vehicles sct stadium 4wd buggy rock crawling

[@joevasquez1776]

Both my Maclans come a 40 degrees timing the 17.5 stays cool enough but the 13.5 had to be turned down to 20 to stay cool.

[@XNINJAGHOSTMANX2033]

That is a cool rc car

[@laurensdejong768]

That fan on the second test sounded like my EZ peak plus charger for my 2s lipos

[@elvinowe]

LOL

[@marksouthall3313]

You could try ski wax on the bottom of the chassis.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hmm. Does that work; have you tried it? -Brett

[@willcarpentieri879]

is the crazy noise it makes under heavy braking because of the slipper delete? does it damage the motor?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That's actually the sound of the tires on the worn-out carpet. It was hard to get used to at first, but it's normal and not harmful to the vehicle in any way. Cheers! -Brett

[@wambolt1212]

when you switch to a metal bulkhead do you still need the bulkhead brace? I broke both and the new metal bulkhead doesnt come with one

[@AMain_Hobbies]

This brace? www.amainhobbies.com/team-associated-b6-front-hinge-pin-brace-asc91657/p1207102?r=0 You always need to use it, with the metal or plastic bulkhead. -Brett

Wow this kinda makes me wanna buy a buggy

[@chrisquigley486]

Teflon spray for the slider?

[@BobBob-dp8vb]

Did the fan get too hot?

[@rcluke2479]

You guys make quality videos keep it up 👍 Also what’s an easy way to get more grip on 2 wheel buggies

[@rcluke2479]

We have a Blacktop track and I am using old dirt tires but the thing kicks loose every corner 🤷‍♂️

[@AMain_Hobbies]

For a road surface, maybe try on-road tires or some slicks. Knobbied tires probably won't hook up that well on that surface. -Brett

[@cindyshields5753]

Do you have a code for the duratrax bandito mt 2.8, that fits the stampede 4wd vxl,the tires only I just need 2 tires so 1 quantity,lol

[@Petriefied0246]

I've had fans that run like that too, did you find out what the issue was?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I think we figured it out. We'll show the issue next video. -Brett

[@GXS_lxo]

I think becaus in the motor are magnets and they are playing with the magnets of the fan.

[@Jonnyjackhammer]

Do you guys have footage of actual racing on the carpet track? Great vids man!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Their is a LiveRC broadcast you can watch. The races are also saved on youtube (or they used to be). -Brett

[@Gab-ve7op]

Chasis protector use brake cleaner

[@chungass448]

The 2wd buggy i have has an issue where the slipper cluch wont stop spining with the nut all the way down. How can i fix this?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Maybe the slipper pads are worn out or not fulling seated between the slipper plates and spur gear. If there is any gap in there, slippage will happen. If any grease got on the slipper pads, that could cause slippage. Maybe it isn't assembled correctly; i've done this and forgot some spacers and it slipped. Maybe disassemble it and reassemble with the manual as a reference. Hope this helps. -Brett

[@AMain_Hobbies]

@@chungass448 Hmm, not sure. I would try replacing the pads. If you only had one pad doing all the slipping, it has probably excessively worn down. If you're driving 17.5, have you considered a slipper eliminator? -Brett

[@haraldfichtner5950]

For more than 25 years a slipper clutch was the stuff to have. And now it is replaced. Why? Info please. :-) Thx.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Because of the weight. Check out part 2 where we talked about and compared the two systems, and installed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5zOl2qVptdjebc -Brett

[@jordybrock]

Grip is very high and stock doesn't have the power to flip the car with that gearing it seems. Slipper therefore had no use and is dead weight

[@jordybrock]

Although it could have been a work around for having poor tire choice

The ones with 14mm hexes should state this in the title. Let me know if you need some more suggestions. -Brett

[@jamesdriesen7669]

can you do a upgrade series over the RB10 like the build serie you have here

That would be a cool series to do but we don't have a 1/10 track right now. Maybe when it gets put back in place, we'll do that. Thanks for the idea. -Brett

Hello, I'm pretty new to the hobby and have saved up for the Traxxas slash 4x4 vxl. I have recently purchased it and looking to upgrade it but my parents won't let me spend any more money on it. Could anyone help me out and maybe send me any spare parts/batteries that you have laying around? Thanks:)

[@AMain_Hobbies]

You should be ok Trevor. Just drive it and have fun, and avoid those curbs at high speed, and it should hold up for you. Give it some time and maybe they'll be ok with some upgrades. The initial costs of the vehicle can be a lot, but the upgrades and tires down the road aren't too bad. -Brett
