Love the buget build I think your on to something now. I really like the look of this truggy I think its one of ad racing better looking rigs for sure. Thanks for sharing tomley😊

[@dennisnothstein1311]

I got the esc and motor,have a good servo,just ordered another dumborc radio. Now I need to start saving for the rolling chassis and I'm good to go. Thanks for the great videos and showing us good affordable builds. I can't afford $200 just on a esc motor combo. Stay safe and be well

[@TomleyRC]

You're welcome Dennis, I like to do the budget stuff, quite often I get more satisfaction out of it!

[@MCsCreations]

WOW! It's pretty fast, dude! Well done! 😃 It's really running smoothly! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@O.L.D_RC]

That's quick! Makes me think I should have gotten one while I could. I think that I have most of the electronics. Stay well!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes it's rapid!

[@redford6110]

They have really weak chassis , people I know have bent the chassis so bad where the driveshaft all of them needs replacing

[@carloshnunez]

The grass affect the top speed in concrete it will go over 60, It will be good to do same test in concrete sand and in dirt

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, on Sand would be interesting

[@philipgreensmith1694]

Really.... no

[@TheNathan643]

That’s awesome dude..... really impressed linear power is mental..👍👍👍👍🥇

[@overbuiltautomotive1299]

wen you got a lot of the same stuff a label maker is a must i love mine should have got one years ago

[@wordreet]

60 on grass is respectable! Theoretically it would go faster with the bigger original wheels/tires, but maybe would get some ballooning and instability. Gonna watch that vid now!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, couldn't get 60 with the stock tyres

[@titankh846]

Nice video! Tempted to get the roller now! XD

[@josephmorelli3191]

Nice truck! Wow!

[@mycutyt]

Nossa muito top 😍 like na certa 👏

[@philhumber1534]

That body shell is just awesome,it just looks mean

[@TomleyRC]

Yes looks good doesn't it!

[@seanarriesgado790]

Try running two 6s packs on parallel, it would be a perfect power house for that motor size. I have built a racing truggy with the same motor, 22t. penion , hobbywing 150amp ecs, 150mm racing truggy wheels and it hits 80mph on dirt with two 6s packs in parallel.

[@TomleyRC]

I may give that a try if I can fit them in!

[@BASSstarlet]

2x6s in parallel for what reason?

Woww... spettacolare

[@piston_7]

Like the look of the body

[@TomleyRC]

Looks good doesn't it!

[@ianbudgetrc2574]

Woow nice budget build! The car has improved a lot in the newer version. Thicker drive shafts and remade motor mount. Also, that thing even reached 100kph offroad! I'm surprised the gears are able to hold up despite the strong torquey motor on 6s power. Does it mean they have improved the gears as well?

[@jdpasltrains]

Wow quick!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, really nice and stable as well!

[@mehimrc1314]

Nicely done Tomley,kev talbot struggled to get 71mph or something and his is definitely NOT on the budget side. Gear it up and let RIP!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers mate... that's the plan. I reckon i can get a 24t in before needing to change the spur. It's stable at 60 and the tyres have minimal ballooning. ?Ordered another set just in case! 70 should be doable 👌

[@gsxrfreak666]

I wired the original wheels with real strong nylon wires took me 5 hours 20 times round each tyre and made 570 holes but there belted and i use a 40 tooth habao spurgear on the diff easy 80 to 90 on the grass and i only spend 250 euro total i drive it with an150A esc and a 2200kv 1/5 scale motor crazy flipping machine when in full throttle

[@rcclan]

That is not bad at all phill id be happy with that

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah I was pleased with the speed!

[@thepilotxproject4035]

The cheap and cheerful saga continues! How do you setup throttle positions on that ESC?

[@TomleyRC]

I've not really looked in to it, but I'm sure you can stick a program card on it

[@thepilotxproject4035]

@@TomleyRC I was referring to the standard throttle calibration without programming.

[@FrequentFlyerRC]

Should have a button on the ESC labeled "set" in the ESC manual for that. Press the set button once. Turn on the TX. Press the set button. Give full reverse then press the set button. Give full throttle and press the set button again. You're all set.

[@jukeboyak9119]

Did this come with a fixed motor mount or did you have to get a new motor mount that's adjustable?

I need that in my life

you use the small tires because with the big ones the transmission will not hold? sorry for approximate english i am a french subscriber!

[@dylansarna8750]

nice video 👍just wondering dose the new motor have good torque for a losi 8ight e buggy it's fairly heavy 🤔🤔🤔

[@TomleyRC]

Lots of torque yes! I ran it in my Limitless with quite big gearing and it had not trouble

[@dylansarna8750]

@@TomleyRC ohh didn't realize thanks for the heads up I'm going to give one a try 🤑😎

[@fran.6496]

Bigger tires it looks funny🤣

[@Mario-yd5jx]

I burned that motor up first time out first test run I think the motors are a little messed up or something ☹️😁👍🏼

[@tbremard]

At first glance i want to buy it. However after analysis : no bumper so when you crash you explode directly the gear box and shok absorbers horizontally. No official website of Zd Racing, almost impossible to buy spare parts ( i even see comments suggesting to buy a full roller version to get spare parts !) beautiful example showing manufacturer do not understand what they sell ...

[@MahirAlom-f1e]

What wheels are those and where can I get them from the wheels that come with them are way too big

[@paulmcnamara16]

Howd ya make those adaptors as I bought a cheap motor ages ago havnt used it as it came with 6mm jobbies and all my ESCs have 4mm connectors!

[@TomleyRC]

I drill out the 6mm ends to 4.8mm, and the slot the 4mm ones in... then just dab a bit of solder on to keep the fixed together.

[@paulmcnamara16]

@@TomleyRC awesome idea gonna have to try that thanks buddy 😁👍

[@SuperVandemon]

hi tomley . would that set up be ok in my 1/8 monster truck . it was a nitro, Hobao Ofna Monster Truck, but not got a clue about motors . i got a 150 amp esc like yours and will be get some 3s/ 6s batters .

[@TomleyRC]

Should be mate... it’s pretty powerful

[@nomore25]

I heard others their surpass hobby 150a esc burnt on 6s. Maybe their kv motor is above the limit of esc? I'm thinking putting a 6s on my 2845 2600kv motor. The motor limit on surpass hobby 150a esc states 2500kv on 42** size motor. Do you think the esc can handle the extra hundreds of kv on a little 2845 motor? I'm on a wild project ideas right now haha.

[@jaysciandra6922]

I just ordered mine. I went with the Race star 4076 2250kv motor. Do you know if I can run 6s or should I have went with the 1700 kv motor instead? Great videos though. I really enjoyed watching.

[@luigibellantoni6828]

The 2250kv will run quite hot on 6s especially off road. The 1700kv will be a better choice then gear up

[@mattyguff1]

2250 will be fine. Don't over gear it.

[@Driver86stig]

So, what do you think about this versus an Arrma Typhon 3S for the same price?

[@TomleyRC]

Tough one... this is more comparable with the 6s range. 3s Typhon is awesome truck though

[@BASSstarlet]

How the diffs and cups in hubs are afte so much torque??

[@TomleyRC]

Still all good... a little wear, but perfectly usable still

[@mikelalkorta870]

you could put the link of the motor mount.,please

[@familyman8644]

Gear mesh sounds little to tight. Get what you pay for. How long did it hold up on 6s? Few runs?

So negative haha.... it's still going strong. Even put the original big wheels on it and it rips. Standing backflips :)
