Monthly Mayhem Rules:
Must use VS4-10 Phoenix F10 Straight Axles
Axles can be upgraded if desired (knuckles, gears set, etc) but must still be F10 based.
Must use VS4-10 Chassis rails
Cross members, skid plates, shock towers, etc, can be changed or modified
Rails can be modified but must remain majority intact
Rails must still function as the structural chassis (you can’t just zip tie them on top of another chassis for example)
Must still use suspension
Front and rear axles must still have a reasonably measurable suspension travel (no locking out your shocks)
Must use the Phoenix body
Body can be trimmed and modified as desired
Forward propulsion must come from the mechanical drive of the axles to the tires (no rockets, free fall assist, sails, black holes, riding inside another vehicle, tow cords, etc)
Speed must be measured with GPS device such as GNSS or Dynamite GPS (different brands of same items are allowed)
4S Battery Max
Must perform the work on the car yourself
except paint… I think we should allow help there, not that Josh needs it or anything
Wheelbase must stay within +/-2” tolerance
Social media posts about the challenge should be kept to “teaser style”.
You can discuss the challenge but don’t disclose your speeds
Don’t show your full vehicle, keep everyone wondering
Freedoms:
No limits on motor
No limits on transmissions
No limits on tire or wheels
No track width restrictions
No restrictions on using 2WD, 4WD or center differentials

Absolutely epic that it drives backwards. I can't stop laughing. Amazing job Logan!

[@gemsynrc9605]

Logan was coming for you at the end there Matt. This is the best mayhem yet! Hope to see you and Josh open up more challenges.

[@mikeearls8158]

This was my favorite build!! I really liked the evolution of speed with Mater! Well done!

[@justinvess9667]

It’s the ghost light lol

[@jdsrcs8061]

"SPEED, I AM SPEED!!!!" Thanks McQueen for the advice!!!🤘🤘🤘 You need to put Mater on display at Sky-RC!!!! Great way to get people in their door!!!

[@TomleyRC]

haha, I love this build. I'm a huge Cars fan, you should have got a few Tractors and Frank to set the scene :)

[@rascalracing4428]

Excellent concept with Mater backward, great result, Awesome speed up process!!!! Congrats for participating in the Phoenix speed challenge!

[@ronstoner1656]

Well done Logan! You did and awesome job with "Tow Mater". Never expected to see over 60MPH in reverse.

[@brianellison3525]

Yup, diggin' the backwards thing! Glad you had fun with it. Be well

[@ed0c]

i cant believe they got you to do this lmao! i love the build. my 4 year old is going to love it too!

[@DonsRCworld]

Congratulations! You've won an award from the most unpopular KZbin Channel lol. Awarded "Chasing the Past"

[@carmexchacon]

Your father told me you were doing this, I told him I would have to watch it for sure. This is awesome

[@ScaledRC]

The joy on your face at the 19:00 mark is what this whole this was supposed to be about

[@monsterrc9168]

I think out of all the guys competing you really did you’re best to keep most of the trucks core essence and thus I believe you deserve some points for it.

[@290DIRT]

This video contains rare footage of Logan laughing in excitement 😆. Good job on the challenge!

[@Kens64chevelle]

So cool to see a local guy here in Southern Utah be involved in the Mayhem challenge. Excited to see the outcome!

[@Abracourcix71]

Woooaahh! No way… Totally insane! 😂 You should see my son watching Mater flying!!! Was hoping 50 for you but what a run! 63mph… BRAVO! From Montréal Canada. See you on your next videos. Thanks for that great moment!

[@ClevelandRips]

It’s so cool that you guys all collaborated and did this ✊✊👏👏👏 I’ve watched all the videos from each of you. We’ll done!!

[@nielsjuhr594]

Uh oh, Mater's in the weeds, let's go get him 🤣 Awesome job! Really enjoyed your Mayhem challenge!

[@RazorRC]

Backwards running Mater greatest idea ever!

[@kerrichristensen2370]

Logan, I was smiling through this whole video! Looks like you had a ton of fun and I like how you just kept resurrecting Mater! Congrats on 63! That’s haulin the mail!! How funny!! Loved the build idea! Fun video!👏👏🤘🤘👍👍👌👌❤️❤️

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks Mom!

[@michaelhoyle3266]

Love the Tow Mater build. A lot of fun to watch.

[@mlord692]

Ok so I have 2 kids and it still took me a sec to realize why he did what he did with the build. Genius sir!! Lol. Very creative.

[@GabrielHodge]

The backwards death wobble was hilarious

[@pranckstyr]

I heard you were part of Monthly Mayhem, so I watch a couple of your videos. You convinced me to subscribe before I watched your Mayhem video. Very unorthodox build but wow what a result! Thank you for getting out of your comfort zone and completing this challenge. The best thing about this collaboration, besides getting to work with other great KZbinrs, is you’ll get more visibility in our hobby. Great job! Mayhem was promised and mayhem was delivered without aero @ 63 mph!🤘🏻

[@bradgenet1541]

Mater backwards was hilarious. Enjoyed it!

[@Lemonbangoreo]

Pretty sure your video is the best from start to finish most organized you know what you’re talking about you put forth effort way to go man awesome build

[@Onebad96zj]

Most impressive speed I’ve seen so far. Practically stock truck! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks for watching!

[@joeygodoy509]

Your having so much fun. I think you might like these fast challenges

[@lukefarrow5399]

This was great Logan! This entire series has been phenomenal I hope you get invited back and accept another one soon!!!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thank you!

[@rubiken06]

Had to watch Mater first. Great video, surprising speed. Great Job.

[@mattabe86]

Well done sir! Awesome you were a part of the mayhem. You are the first rig I watched, anxious to see how the others compare

[@forrestcrabbe]

🤘wooooooo🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

[@UrsusArctos8]

Nice!!! Represent the four corner states!

[@JoeCools]

That was an outstanding effort there, bud. Your truck design with the Maynerd-looking truck was spot on, and I don't think it would have looked better had you not scuffed it up. It was perfect the way it is; your knowledge and skill as a rock-crawling guru are apparent; in my humble opinion, your video was the 2nd one I have watched. My passion is rock crawling as I’m a newbie and have learned a ton watching your videos; although I don't care to go fast in this instance, it matched the title to a tee. After I finally get my first Vanquish vs4-10 built up, my next project is to see if I can build another with a four-wheel steer. Thanks in advance / Joe

[@kirkyoung4979]

I really appreciated your commitment to achieving the top pull! Your truck was so beat up and yet your skill and determination prevailed.

[@TheParkingLotGarage]

Wouldn’t have thought west desert shooter had another channel for RC - nice!

[@paulmaigler289]

Great job Logan!! Really liked the Mater theme and very impressed you got that MPH with that setup

[@henryurbina2555]

Way to go Logan. Really enjoyed the video. Mater did a hell of a job out there and it was kind of ingenious to do the body that way. Made a serious challenge fun!

[@BadgerBishop]

Tye backwards body was a reap kick, thanks for the entertainment mate.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks for watching

[@alfalso434]

Ok. Was not expecting that!! That was impressive. It looks awesome!! Great idea for your theme. Well done!! You should call him the "GO- MATER !! " LOL. Great Job!!.

[@user-ko3vg7fc7o]

Great job!!! Mater was such a great concept for this!!

[@lypheEddie]

Awesome job man. Kinda feel bad for the amount aero Matt did only to get beat by probably the least aero truck haha.

[@njohnsonII]

Great job and thank you! The backwards Sir Tow Mater was fantastic!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Great job! Love that you had the body mounted backwards and it only added to the challenge!

[@K11RC]

What a great job! Tow Mater is my favorite of all the builds!

[@sebas888888]

Now I want to make one too, at least the backwards looks. Such a crazy fun and cool idea.....

[@CaseyD406]

Very good build. Fun video and congrats on your speed.

[@joeygodoy509]

Oh show is not over. Your back out on the track. Let's see your improvements

[@CCxRC]

That was amazing Logan and only made better by you driving it backwards! Crazy speed for running it pretty stock.

[@mikebird8290]

REALLY ♥️THIS CONGRATULATIONS LOGON 🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤞🏼👍🏼

[@949Designs]

Great job Logan! Very respectable speed. If I were a judge, I'd give you a 8 point bonus for driving (in appearance) backwards.

[@williamslakescaleoffroad4986]

Awesome job Logan.

[@reefsrc]

Great job Logan!

[@nuge74]

Great job on the build and video! Amazing how far a trail rig can be pushed from a speed perspective.

[@brianmassey7563]

it took me a bit to figure out you were supposed to be going backwards, lol. Great vid and awesome job!

[@chrisquigley2580]

Freaking awesome man, those were some fun runs to watch... and you beat matt.. with a backwards truck..

[@rquino4210k]

Haha the fact you have the body backwards to simulate Mater driving in reverse is gold!

[@tomandrews5392]

OMG POOR POOR MADER.....GREAT Show love the watch...

[@Blackshuck73]

Awesome vid man! When I saw it was actually going in reverse I lol’d.

[@FatherDaughterRC]

Awesome job Logan, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Maybe not as much as you enjoyed this challenge?? Way to go buddy!!!

[@fernsolo]

Way to think outside the box, awesome video 👍

[@andrewrichey7374]

This is going to be awesome, yeah Logan I’m here watching, just got done watching CCXRC Tony with his fast run this is super cool appreciate you sharing

[@chertrocktunnelgarage2171]

Awesome build and over 60 speed. Great job.

[@_EverythingCars_]

So sick!! I love the tow mater body 🔥

[@nickimperatrice350]

Great job brother! Love the build!

[@MidCoast]

Fantastic, in the extent of the word. Running backwards seems to have been the greatest advantage.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Hahaha who would have guessed

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

I was looking to make a Tow Mater for my two year old. Making him a backwards driver is genius and now a must for my project. Many thanks!

[@jakbparish]

This series is brilliant. I kinda don't even care about the top speeds, just seeing different approaches and the progression is enough. Backwards, I love it. Outstanding mate.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Absolutely so fun to see the other builds

[@jakbparish]

@@westdesertwheeler Binge watching your content now that I've found your channel. Hello from the Central Highlands of Tasmania. Keep it coming mate.

[@andrewrichey7374]

63 that’s awesome dude, really glad I got to see this video. Like I said just got done watching Tony and his speed runs this is super cool I dig it catch on the next one

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Wrecked Gear gave ya a cool shout out on their live. Cool Cats. Loved this video, the opener had me laughing the whole video!

[@westdesertwheeler]

I’ll check out that live! Thanks for watching Casey!!!

[@EnduroDesigns]

you killed it! Way to keep it surviving till the end. Great video man.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks Alex 🤘🏼

[@gemsynrc9605]

I love that you stepped out of your comfort zone on this build, Logan. That truck is hilarious, rickety, and surprisingly, pretty damn fast! I'm having a blast watching all you guys take on this mayhem challenge. Sweet build, excellent job man!

[@westdesertwheeler]

I was very surprised how fast it ended up. Way beyond my expectations

[@mikebird8290]

Hi Logon my friend I suggested (sorry) Ding Dong also lol. Well I've REALLY Been looking forward until today release day. I have loaded FRIDGE with 🍺🍻 and my tub full of THC 😋. HERE I GO looking forward to this. Thanks Buddy 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇨🇦🕊️✌🏼🤙🏼

[@randall4411]

Definitely a worthy competitor . The body has gotten more beautiful with each run .

[@Sysiphos]

Holy crap I'm only halfway trough and you're already faster than I expected

[@smokeysrc]

Loved it great build matter going backwards epic idea 💯👍

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Great effort! Fastest rig in reverse, for sure, lmao 🤣 Absolute love this challenge, so glad you got to be a part of this! 👍

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Seriously though, one of the fastest trucks in the challenge, in REVERSE, and at a FRACTION of the cost of Matt and Josh! I think you easily made the most out of the least and showed grit and determination and a steady improvement. I haven't seen all the videos yet but they are going to have a hard time competing with you (and that's acknowledging that Matt and Josh are amazing fabricators!) 👍

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks man, Matt and Josh’s trucks are amazing I don’t discount that. But I had a ton of fun sending a stock suspension Phoenix backwards

[@cybron7089]

Very entertaining. Thank you for this funny vid.

[@chucklanholm5680]

That is insane that you made it go that fast ... backwards

[@codyoscardavid6268]

Killer video man!!! Loved the theme of your rig and surprising speed!!

[@Shane_S.]

Get some Mater 🤣🤣 super awesome build bro! Love the route you took with it!!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks so much

[@derrickwroe7335]

Well done Logan, brilliant video loved your enthusiasm for the speed runs 👍

[@taztayler1]

Amazing looking vehicle totally forgot you were going for speed just loved the look of it 👏👏👏👏

[@HoundStuff]

Nice job! Dang, That was pretty sweet and I enjoyed seeing it all in this video.

[@jasonbecker4997]

You didn’t go the fastest, but I’m pretty sure you had the most fun! Was great to watch man.

[@westdesertwheeler]

It was a blast!

[@matmac7950]

Great video that's funny running the body backwards well done with the tuning I hope you win

[@westdesertwheeler]

I didn’t go the fastest but it was super fun!

[@reconrc1787]

Get video bud. Love seeing you step outside of the crawler action. Speed run cars might be you new thing now. ;-) You should try for an off road 100+ mph rig.

[@williamlacroix4841]

Amazing run for driving backwards !! I was laughing with you

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks I’m still happy with the final number

[@chainsaw7887]

I was super excited to see you hit 63!! Nice work!!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Me too thanks dude!

[@smokingwraith9990]

That is a super entertaining video, nice job! Your approach and progress presented in an entertaining way...and of course it looks killer, paint loss and all...

[@mitsuman5555]

The backwards body is the perfect touch for this theme. Great job!

[@corez09w50]

Love the Maynard backwards and 63 with stock suspension is impressive

[@tiborbeetles1882]

Brilliant video! Love this larger group format for Monthly Mayhem - be awesome if in the future you can all get together for the final runs.

[@carlbModels]

wow, you lot! that's three I've seen tonight. All of you are gold 👍🍺🇬🇧

[@westdesertwheeler]

Glad you’re enjoying the challenge!!!

[@BlueDually4x4]

For having the body mounted backwards, it handled a lot better than any of us would have expected. Pretty solid run.

[@713Ace529]

Hey a very respectable speed specially when it has no wind deflector. Congratulations!. 👍 Btw like the theme on the rig totally fits the Arizona scenic.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@TheBerlyDad]

Excellent job man! Truck looks awesome and I think you’ll take the cake on creativity. Especially going backwards lol

[@reprieverc]

Man I've only watched a couple of the other guys and not to take away from any of their work but your's so far just felt like you were having the most fun. Good work brother

[@BlindGuyRc]

Love it hahahahaha. Great job, amd such a cool design. MATOR!!

[@RadonManRC]

Awesome video man!!! It was very fun to watch!

[@ShoddyRC]

I’m excited to see this one! After watching the other videos, this backwards driving mater was competitive! I’m surprised you can drive it that fast with one hand.

[@canuckchuck8836]

Mater is freaking awesome! So creative!!!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thank you!
