Traxxas little stampedes big day out "The Adventure"
Ive got a question i have a perfect condition pureten but its never been bound to a controller and have lost the original controller how can i bind the perfex receiver
idk why this is like.. such a special thing fitting newer stuff into old stuff.. like its the same.. but newer? Do you expect it to not work? hah
Love that buggy, but what was your driving all about? Just what was that?🤣🤣🤣
Trouble is, purely picked wrong surface, wrong conditions. An should of waited, but hey it’s really a build video if anything
Are those peel back decals or water slide ones? Thinking of getting a reissue Grasshopper or Hornet, but never had any experience with waterslide decals.
Peel back
whats the link for the controller?
Nice video man
Thank u
cool build Ill be building a grasshopper soon
It’s fun build, an great rc
This seems a lot smaller than mine back in about 1986. Who knows.
Same tooling. So it’s just you got bigger anything shrinks lol
Hi, I know this video is a few years old now but I’m currently looking at getting this kit, never done one before - can you help me out and let me know what extra bits I’ll need , I.e will I need any glues, what are the paint codes etc. ? I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Your asking now, paint is just what I decided to do. More personal touch. Least that’s how I recall it to be, no glue, thou I do recommend using ur own grease an don’t be tight with it. Needs a servo an full radio system
Can't wait to build mine out!
How u get on
A VERY NICE VIDEO AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIPS! I admit I've always done it differently with the fat shrinkage, for example, but I'll do better because it makes more sense. Thank you and keep it up! LG
Thank you
I also Had one?
Awesome build.. I have the grasshopper and hornet kit that I'm getting ready to build. Looks like fun.
There good builds in my honest opinion
Sound quality is crap and in mono. FREAKING MONO!
Apologies if I recorded in mono
I've wanted one since 84 somehow life hasn't let it happen yet, I'm now looking once again, but I definitely want one with the hard body , She was my first Love ! ✌️😎
Treat your self
Nice build great music choice I subscribed🤘👍
Nice one.
What do you recommend as an ESC unit as well as transmitter/receiver combination? Also a good motor upgrade that will plug into the ESC? I just purchased the kit and I am looking for options that will not cost a fortune.
Use the standard stuff with kit, just to get you going. Radio I use ec3. I think that’s what it’s called. Maybe ep3. Been a little while. So apologies I can’t recall. As for esc an motor combo, well depends what you want out of it, the goul brushless set up for £30 ish, although a little cheap nasty, is not a bad bang for your buck, If you want something sensible a hobby wing 1080 if I got the digits right is great, again could be 1060, ones a crawler esc other ones a basher type. As for the motor, anything lower then 21 turns will be a lot better then then the standard motor in this box
We just got gifted one of these by the infamous RC ELF. I’m looking forward to building it
There not bad fun at all
I've just received my kit today looking forward to building it. Just one question Looking at video take it you paint the inside ?
If memory is correct yes you do paint it
Awesome bro... I like it
Thanks 🙏
Hi, ive just bought one of these and its my first build. Is thier any tips you could give me? Tia
I think for a 1st build take your time, but equally don’t be worried about getting it wrong, have a decent screw driver. Just enjoy it
Hi just finished building the hornet but I get a lag when pushing the stick forward (accelerate) and it runs faster in reverse, Swapped wires around on motor and now it goes in only one direction tried settings on abisma radio unit but no joy steering is fine any ideas from a noob lol
Have you resolved the issue yet
Hi I built an original hornet when I was in my teens took me a weekend. I've currently got another original one but I've tried converting it using a ubec but have confused myself now at the age of 53 currently stuck on how to move forward. Nightmare!! I connect the battery up but it acts weird 💩 wondering if I'd be better off selling it all to someone who knows what they are doing and buying a new decent model. Already made.?? Any suggestions?
Personally buying old kits built is a no no, if your struggling now. A ready to run kit is great. But personally take it to a model-shop there sort it cheap and in next to know time, I’d happily assist, but ping pong messaging is so slow, and leads to further frustration usually
Thanks for that I have a original hornet that I'm wanting to update with new gear do you think it's possible,? I was confused about the crystal thing but now you've showed me it's fairly easy and I might update motor and servos. So I'm interested if you do this too is love to see that.
Servo on a hornet is fairly easy if I recall. Motor depends what you got now, as some of them need a plastic offset ring, in which you may no longer have
Nice build. Shame you stopped doing videos mate that was good.
Life just gets in the way, I shall return this year with a few builds
Cool video!! I have grasshopper too. It's nice RC. I installed 540 torque tuned motor. It's exciting more than normal motor. I recommend it.
Certainly is more fun
This is a good idea
Certainly is
anytime baby!
I have the buggy myself and installed a tamiya sport tuned motor. The dog bones seem to rattle pretty bad. Is this normal when running a 540 in this car?
Depends on what you mean by that, should be any slack. From memory there will be side ways play.
One of my favorites. A classic. Why only 2 seconds of grasshopping time in the video?
This the bUild video, a running vid will come
Awesome Video👌 I subscribed
Thank u so much
Needs 3s lipo
Not on that esc
@@rcoverland4459 I use 3s lipo brushless on all tamiya, totally destroys them
did it come with the remote, paint, and battery?
This kit didn’t. Rumoured Tamiya have done it. But I assume if honest just models shops actually adding extras needed on top of the kit. As I never seen a box that suggest anything but the kit alone. Be careful thou as shop shops remove the esc and the kit price is cheaper then the average price.
@@rcoverland4459 thanks :)
I got one
Enjoy it. There great
my favorite rc of all times
my favorite rc of all times
There a great little rc
This kit new or vintage year prodused ???
It’s a re re
Thunder shot was my first rc car when I was aT school and I’m still playing with tamiyas now 30 years later!
Nothing at all wrong with that my friend.
By the way. What’s the paint code on that blue?. Looks bright mettalic?. Looks great !
I’d be lying if answered. But yes it’s metallic blue. It’s been so long since I painted it, I don’t expect the half empty can will be on my shelf. But I will check in time and get back to you if it is there
@@rcoverland4459 if you do it would mean a lot to me as I would paint my new Avante kit in a thAt colour for sure
@@neontetra1000 of course I will. Bare with.
@@neontetra1000 I do have the half empty can. But since lookin have forgot. It’s a 6 or 16 but will confirm
@@neontetra1000 ps-16
As Bob Ross said there are no mistakes while painting just happy accidents. That flipped paint looks better in My opinion and I might have to steal that idea. Nice motor in this kit too.
I got the grasshopper after I saw this vid. thx for all the info :)
There are more coming. Sadly just haven’t had time to upload.
think ur content is rlly good! I watch loads of ur vids :)
Thanks so much.
Hi, i have an old Tamiya Blackfoot RC that i believe the receiver doesn't work anymore... how can i replace the old receiver "Pamda R102E BEC with the new receiver.. however i believe the servo and MSC are still functioning... I just dont know where to put the power on the new receiver...
Not sure I follow the question correctly. But I assume you Mean the power feed to the receiver ? In which case with out it in front of me it’s hard to answer directly. But has your msc got a wire coming off it Or are you using a separate AA pack
@@rcoverland4459 sorry for the late reply... But i already solve the problem.... thank you🙏
@@chandrap3672 no worries. Hope it was easy
Just about to start my Bigwig build and have been looking at alternate colour schemes. Think the inverted colours looks really nice on yours. Think I’m going to go black (with some gold flake in it) and pearlescent white. Not sure which way round now though. Maybe I need 2 bodies 🤔. Thanks for the videos. New subscriber 👍🏼
Trouble is when it comes to the colours, it’s a real personal thing. I’ve noticed that some people really think there choices are ace. To me they look awful. How ever it’s good to be different
@@rcoverland4459 I think with the colours of the decals they make it hard to go any other direction than box art. For example, your spoiler decal doesn’t really stand out, which is a shame. Maybe they could provide a few alternatives in the box. It wouldn’t cost them much.
@@SuperHelibob your not far of wrong. Logical to them we’re buying there box art kit only. But I don’t know many that build box art So it does beg the question why don’t they have decals sheets available in different colour schemes that could be ordered. 1. People roll the models and want to make good again 2. Over time they do peel 3. Many people including my self do mess up the stickers when applying 4. Makes sense to custom print them in different colours schemes for special order due to USA laws with tamiya, I do know when these kits are made they have to offer a certain amount spares for a set period of time. So it’s something they should be able to do
@@rcoverland4459 you can actually buy the decal sheets in custom colours from a company called mci racing in the us. Very good service and you can choose all colours.
@@neontetra1000 that’s something I didn’t know. Many thanks will check them out.
Excelent video! greetings from Brazil
Greetings to Brazil.
Does anyone know if you can run a 11.1v lipo on that esc??
Will happily take 2-3s no dramas. Was what it’s designed to do.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered the bigwig to relive my days as a 13 year old!! I have no idea about RC cars anymore so would love your guidance on what else I may need beyond the kit you show above. I'm assuming the 2.5channel RC controller and steering servo. What about an ESC? Any guidance is appreciated!!
Greetings. Great questions. You only need a 2 channel controller. Throttle and steering. This kit I purchased is not supplied with a esc, from memory I chucked a hobby wing 1060 may 1080. The non crawler one of the 2 As for guidance. Use a quality tool, watch a couple of my my build video endings as I always talk about my experience and if you have time, maybe watch one all the way threw. As I post notes and stop and talk about certain helpful ideas to promote a smoother build
Brand shill and frankly eating and smoking on video is just not acceptable.
Dead right you are. But I’m just sharing my experience with you guys. Not looking for a bafta
What battery did you use
Do believe this was nimh 1800 unbranded. Lipo I have used were fconegy at time of filming
Thank you
You're welcome
