I’m getting one for 250
I would still want the older shocks an diffs.
Question. Why?
@@SuperFastRc Because New doesn't mean better. The further you lay those shocks down, the shaft an base of the shock body are taking the most stress. There's a certain degree where too much is to much.
@@SuperFastRc The shock will flex before it compresses.
@@DarkMagician225 Fair enough thanks for the input!
@@SuperFastRc Watch a few videos of the Hardcore mountain bike land where the front fork is beyond 65° 64°. Over time it's stretching and wallowing out fork body.
How about put them in the new v2 because it don’t fit 😂
Hi Chris. As you know I also have the RC8B4.1 and AD3 combo thanks to you :) I also now have the NB48 2.2 that is almost built. My Rhonda Drake 2 engine just came in, but this one without the Drake brake in. I've noticed that both your AD3 and mine have a black tie strap installed at the base of the low speed needle assembly. You will clearly see this on your video as well. Do you happen to know why Adam installed this extra tie strap? Also after hearing all the rave about Tekno 1/8 buggies, I honestly feel like the AE's build and suspension feel is a bit smoother and more premium. I thought it would be the other away around but overall great kits to build with better manual/instructions on the Tekno to include the available build videos for noobs like me...
@@MrDucatiti So most OS engines have either a tie wrap or a retaining ring around the carb boot. It keeps a airtight seal and keeps dust from getting in. You can upgrade your tie wrap to a retaining ring from j&t or similar. They are honestly both good cars. I just have more experience with the pivot ball cars. They drive very differently
The rustler was always aimed as an entry level truck, it was never intended for racing, they had other models for that.
Great truck but I have an issues with the droop screw placement.
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Full Windshield for your 2021 Kawasaki Mule SX XC LE
Great review Ty
I appreciate this video, it helped me understand what kind of speed I will get out of my Rustler (hopefully cuz I'm UPGRADING it to VXL, it's not originally VXL.)
Isn't this just a new hoss?
Pretty much a more durable hoss
Nice video and thank you for sharing, 12, 8, 8, is that the equivalent of catching the track? I watched another video that said LTC should not be lower than 10K, does lowering the concentration at the rear have any effect on LTC?
hands down my favorite layout to date, looking forward to battling with you again soon!
Hello, was wondering if trailer only runs off of truck power or it runs off 110v say at a Garage outlet too?
ac is 110. such as generator power or shore power. i think he said the lights were 12v
That's our #1 rule, don't be an a$$hole. Other than that its pretty lax over here 😎
Hi mate, what body are you running on the b4.1e? What sideguards? B4 or the body fits without gaps in the stock one?
My B4.1E i run the rawspeed nitehawk for the B4E its an exact fit. If you want to run a nitro body on your ebuggy you will need the nitro side guards.
@@SuperFastRc oh great! The issue is that they don’t ship to italy unfortunately… are 3.2 sideguards wider? I can get a jc15 at my local shop
Shocks on the rear are not seated correctly
@@martinbielby334 how so?
I had no idea how this worked after all these years. Just like video games, would you agree the younger drivers have a better chance of succeeding due to better reflexes? Thanks for sharing.
It really depends, the ones that apply themselves yes they will be better than us old slow guys lol
Mayfield still runs pretty good 😉
@@ryansilliker4328😂
Hi Chris... Just wanted to share my build. Quick video here. Thank you for all your help and videos.. czcams.com/video/2Dcrjy4q554/video.htmlsi=g2VTq9d0V2Gd3JYC
Do you have any experience with running the 4s shorty layout vs the saddle pack on the b4.1e? Is there a significant difference? If so Does it matter for your average club racer? just trying to keep things simple.
I have never ran it, nor have i seen anyone run the 4s setup. It depends really if you plan on running any other platforms. I run 1/10th as well and most of the time its shorty packs on those so it makes sense to me to run the saddle layout.
@@SuperFastRc ok thanks. I’m also trying to save a bit of money. I only have a single battery charger at the moment so a 4s will be cheaper and easier for now.
Like the squaredeal!
Hell yeah!
Just an fyi if you use the rc8t3 front body mounts they are a bit higher so you get more clearance on the shocks. and they work way better. i ended up using those couse i also like the truck bodys better. IMO its what makes it a truggy and not just a bigger buggy.
👌👌👌
Poor reviews.
Thank you!
Hi Chris. Still watching your videos over and over lol.. I plan to purchase an electric conversion kit for my rc8b4.1 just for kicks and to keep me busy... Any thoughts as kit is only an ebay seller. Will nitro chasis and side guard work among other things?
Sorry i have been traveling. You would need an electric chassis, motor mounts battery tray, diff plate and servo mount rx box. Front and rear clips are identical as well as steering. Still might be more economical to buy a used ebuggy slider.
Nitro body and nitro sideguards will bolt to the electric chassis it will just be wider.
Hm. One part of it seems to be missing. Is it .21 or .28?
You would want to use a .21
Looking at getting one of these. Im 225lbs. Will this be too small for my size?
Should be fine
Hey, this isn’t a terrible unboxing. Honestly in my opinion this is the kind of unboxings that’s the best. I love the commentary and information you give while at the same time keeping me interested. Love it
Sorry but it's me again.. What flywheel collet did you use? The one that came with the kit seems to be too tight for the O.S. engine.. Do I have to spread the collet apart?
Mine fit just fine, kit clutch. Make sure you put the nut in the clutch housing before you install the clutch springs.
@@SuperFastRc Weird that mine does not fit as it does not slide in.. What's your suggestion? .. You mean the flywheel nut prior to installing metal and composite clutches?
@@MrDucatiti collet goes on the crank shaft, then the clutch and flywheel assembly. Then your flywheel nut.
Stock should fit perfectly, im running exclusively os
@@SuperFastRc Lifesaver lol.. Any specific reason why the nut on the housing has to go first prior to the clutch springs? Also, did you use a flywheel tool for the nut or just the conventional wrench wrapped with electric tape?
Hi Chris! I’m on the engine now. Did you twist the tubing inlet where the high speed needle is? If so, what is the procedure as I don’t want to mess up anything to include any settings.
Yes, you just slightly loosen the brass fitting around the high speed needle then pivot to desired location and snug it back up no settings will be changed.
@@SuperFastRc Got... Mind sharing what specific tool you used, or simply a long nose pliers?
@@MrDucatiti 8mm turnbuckle wrench is what i used
If I’m getting a used one will I be able to change it to my name?
Yes, it all resides with your race director. They will tie your name to the identifier.
Hi again! I'm almost done.. working on radio tray now and have the same servos as you are using. Now just waiting for M7 radio and receiver to come.. Now super dumb question considering the savox monster wires are all black, how does it go in the Sanwa receiver? Will I fry anything if plug it in the wrong way? Also, where does the power switch plug in the receiver? Sorry again as it has been more thant a decade since my last RC.
Once you have your radio system in it will all make sense. They are kinda slotted so they can only go in one way. Also some servo connectors are labeled. Battery plugs in to the Batt channel. The transponder plugs into channel 3.
@@SuperFastRc Thank you. This helps a lot. Looking forward to more videos! :)
@@SuperFastRc Thanks again Chris.. Another related question. My Sanwa M17 comes with the RX-493 receiver. Is there a need to stick the antenna out of the receiver box or OK just to leave intact sealed in the box? Sorry for another noob question :)
@@SuperFastRc Help please.. Battery channel is the same as bind plug on the rx 593... lol. Now when the bind plug is in, where do I plug the battery/switch?
@@MrDucatiti you can plug the battery into channel 3 for binding.
First off, that track is awesome. It looks like a blast. How do you like the 2200 kv motor? I'm making the jump to the bigger motor this weekend and am looking forward to trying it out. Are you still using your trailer? If so, you should post an updated video showing what you have done to it.
I love it, yes i really should do a trailer tour. Typically I bring it to the track when its a longer series race or a weekend race. I still travel lighter for club racing.
Hello! Thanks for your videos. New subscriber here, and jus purchased this kit. I started building over the weekend. I have a problem and need your help. Sorry no pro here as this is the only 2nd kit I've ever built, having the Tamiya Hotshot as the first lol.. Well, problem is that the set screw that keeps the bottom shock in place keeps on turning and won't go all the way in to lock the shock in. Not sure if the suspension arm hole is compromised or the set screw itself. Only one out of three is the problem.. Any ideas of how to get this fixed?
So when the set screw is flush with the too of the arm you stop turning. Its probably compromised now. You could try contacting associated and see if they will send you another one or just buy another set of arms. No i wouldn’t run it like that loose. Thanks for sub!
What sucks about this hobby is only pros get to practice every day..us normies get to race only when the track is available to us.. if we to got to drive 6 hrs a day testing we'd be better driver's..
Thanks for the info.
Hopefully saved you some trouble
Is a £100 worth buying second hand for this buggy?
Yep, parts are plentiful
Hello.. New subcriber here and been watching your videos over and over.. lol.. Trying to checkout at Amain with my wishlists as we speak.. What shade of blue was used here? Tamiya dark metalic blue?
CREATEX COLORS W30402 WICKED COLOR PEARL BLUE
great info
Pagani collection? :)
Ah you caught my watch lol!
Nice Batgirl! :)
Thats awsome ! I was just out at the track last weekend ! I got to marshall a good bit !
Awesome! Yes sir, I was not able to make the first round of the summer series. Plan on being there for round 2 and maybe club racing this Saturday!
I used to race my HPI savage wayyy back when RCHQ was toys for big boys. when the nitro savage had just come out. Im workin on getting back into racing now that i found out oates has his track close !
@@txmanjr Nice! I raced at RCHQ a few times. And it seems like the fun has just moved to oates. Same crew - bigger track.
That was interesting to hear about! I'm not quite at that level of knowledge myself, and I definitely am not a race buggy proper race guy... I have a 2500kV motor in my MP10e and of course it's crazy fast, so I mostly use a 3s pack in it, just a small one, so I don't even bother put anything in the other battery compartment. I just drive it on the street and in the dirt anyway, last year I went to the track and I hated it, mostly because it's difficult, ha ha!
I switched to the 2200kv running a 16t pinion and the metal 47t spur with the punch turned down. I love the feel of the 2200 after the front bearing in the 1900 locked up :(
I have a performa 2100kv truggy if needed.. but run the HW 1900kv..
I found the LTC diffs make my car squirly and burns up fluid causes it to diff out I use HTC across board and went 2.3 bar front 2.4 rear 7k 6k 4K
I run that same HW 2200 but I dropped from 16 to 15 pinion not sure it was needed but that’s what I did and seems to work good for me
Gonna get the orange one this weekend :) I also have 2 stampedes 2wd from 2012
Thanks for showing this.
Have a question. Sorry it’s about something else but I know you have some factory connections. The new 4.1 comes with LTC & HTC gears. I see some set ups using all htc gears. Can you give me some insight on running all HTC gears vs LTC,htc,LTC.
I actually have a video on the subject: HTC vs LTC differential gears EXPLAINED! Team Associated RC8 Platform czcams.com/video/WR-xw6H2UYE/video.html
Quick question. Have you made any adjustments to your rear shocks, since the front and rear are all the same lengths? I saw the following video and was curious as to your thoughts, if you don't mind me asking here. Thanks in advance for your time and willingness to reflect. czcams.com/video/j7iqoc4Xhng/video.html
Nah, truck was sold shortly after this video - just not that exciting of a platform for me. I have since picked up a new stampede 4x4 vxl and it is a much more enjoyable truck
