- Hi all!
This is the 1st shakedown run of my Hybrid build. This is its 1st incarnation , running for now the OBr 32 Reed and a prototype of rcmax new genesis wheels. Bear in mind I had just fitted a new metal clutch which needed bedding in. I did find after this run that my rear wheel bearings on 1 side were seized..... it could have been due to all the water or I may have some how missed this during the build. who knows.
More to come on this with a build video and hopefully a good run in the sand with paddles on.... then who knows, a bigger 'special' engine could be on the cards ;)

As your mate said not bad for a Weed whacker 🤭 very nice build nice to see 32 Obr Reed valve works nice 👍
Hi mate...yeah not bad considering ;)
Very nice my man! The 32 moves her pretty good too! Im about to start my Hybrid build i have everything, including a Rcmax Supreme 80 custom dual andoized that you saw already Joel, and it matches the rest of the Rcmax parts i also had Dual Anodized front to back! I have 1 more Rcmax worlds first Mike is sending out this week for it and time to start building! Ill have a video of my entire build later in the week, sick Hybrid Joel!👍👊
Nice one mate! look forward to seeing your build and it running soon! :)
That’s a very interesting hybrid! 👍😉
cheers buddy
@@RCmaxxUK cheers 😉
Joel nice build mate and that looks like it was moving for a 32 👍
Cheers mate ;)
oh man that things a beast! very purdy!
thanks !
Nice build! Looks good!
Thank you! Cheers!
1st😉
It moves pretty damn good for “just a 32” as you say! Great job on the body too. Happy holidays!
2st😉
and to you mate cheers ;)
Nice work !!! That weed wacker engine is running pretty good 😂🤣 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, it was decent. I have gotten used those crazy engines, so felt a bit flat... and its not exactly light hehe
@@RCmaxxUK yea I totally understand mate 🔥💪🏻👊🏼👍🏼
whats the purpose of a hybrid? A better handling 2wd then the Baja? Looks good by the way😉😉😉
The main purpose of the Hybrid is to have the super strong Baja transmission and the benifits from the awesome turning ability from the Losi 5ive T + easier to work on 👍 im building one right now myself with a Rcmax Supreme 80
@@FifthScaleOrBustRc good to know thanks mate😉
@@me8u73 no problem bro, any more questions feel free to ask well, prob ahould do it on my channel so dont muck up Joel' s alert feed😄🤘
it seemed sluggish sorry image twin 50cc rotary on it? or awd brushless
yeah felt a bit sluggish to me.... but it was reasonable in fairness.maybe a touch over geared for a good take off, or could have been the new clutch needed bedding in.
Very nice! You would like to see my homemade 1/5 49cc RC car!!
Thats cool bro
Thanks mate
What does a hybrid achieve? Isn’t steering all funky because of the 4x4 steering geometry?
What do you think of the new rcmax wheels compared to say brp's or mcd wheels?
I like the new wheels. I am a mcd wheels fan though, so light with lots of tread and compound choices, so on a small bore like this i would likely stay mcd style. On a bigger engine though i think the new genesis wheels from rcmax would be my number 1 choice. brp is a bit heavy and does not react to wet conditions well ( which being in the UK can be an issue) Not that i like running in the rain, but the ground is often damp/wet. I really want to try the spike pattern as may be ideal for the conditions i run in. Fingers crossed i will see them this weekend so look out for the video ;)
When are you putting up another video of this I hope soon
What kind of body is that?
it is a 30 degree north big flex body, with a joker designs wrap :)
Are you running the integy rear shocks for the baja on your hybrid?
I think that is what they are yes.... I bought the baja used so spec of the rear end is close to how it came. would like some IRC rear shocks on it really
How much are these 1/5 scales with all the upgrades on them and those massive engine i have seen in you other videos?
Hmmmm. around £3K+ i guess depending on spec.... best option would be a used one really, well built and looked after of course. You see them go around £2k
I really like the 5th scale cars the big motors really rip up the ground. What I don't like is the throttling. It seems like everybody that owns a gas motor is always throttling even when they're going straight why can't we just keep a solid throttle slow down turn throttle on again instead of throttle throttle throttle. Cool cars though wished I had one
It's because our engines are 2 stroke and if you let them idle to long the will "load up" in the carburetor with fuel which could stall out the motor or make your throttle response lag. A few seconds. When you hear us with the throttle going, brap brap braap.m then go full throttle its called "clean out". Your making sure the correct fuel mixture os in the carburetor for maximum acceleration on your low end. Hope that helps you understand the logic behind my man.👍
also.... its maybe a bit of a habit think in my case, i like to warm up my engines so blip it a fair bit instead of holding a constant throttle. if you let it sit for any length of time idling and then just go for it it will often have loaded up a bit on fuel and bog down off the line so blipping it keeps it clear/er.... also after a longer full throttle pass a blip or 2 can flood in a bit of extra fuel to cool it and bring the idle down to where you want it. maybe a bit annoying on the ears tho ;)
What wheelie bar is that
I want to build one we’re do I start any links to were I can buy parts
Check out my other video on the hybrid, explains the build..
What gear ratio are you running?
It's an interesting project, by why though? What's the advantage? In the end didn't you just make a heavy baja? Or is it a 2wd 5ive? Either way I don't see the advantage..
Not that you need an objective reason to do it.. I'm just curious.
That's shit joel I told you it would be now put the Baja back together lighter faster better
Team Baja 💪
Lol it just needs more power the Baja is a old dog
