Brett you are looking good man, losing weight and feeling great! Love this techno nitro buggy, great vid!
He looks like he hasn’t aged in the past 6+ years. Meanwhile I look like I aged 20 years in the last 8 years lol.
Thanks Brad! Been working hard to eat clean and exercise regularly.

@@AMain_Hobbies funny enough I came here to say the same thing. Looking great Brett!
Was about to say this too
Great presentation Brett
I know you guys cover newer topics, but I’d really like to see something like a shock tuning comparison for bashers. Showing how to find the sweet spot for springs and oil weight. Too heavy on both and your truck will bounce even more on landings and over stress your shocks. Too light and you get unnecessarily heavy chassis slap. Think the xmaxx would be a good platform to test. If you can Jerry rig a variable dampening system for it (like the e revo 2.0 option part) it would be incredible.
Honestly I think the best way to learn all that stuff is to learn about racing buggies and how to set them up for different tracks, that’s how I learned and it’s really cool and enjoyable. There are heaps of channels you can watch to learn from but you will learn the most from people who race buggies and truggies because they really got it down to a science.
None of that stuff matters for bashing. It'll do the same number of backflips regardless. Just sticking with stock or some middle-of-the-road shock oil / shock piston / spring will behave the same. To tune a shock for the basher size jumps is pointless because it's gonna bottom out either way, plus the jump variety is so big. Whereas with a track, the layout doesn't change jump sizes throughout the day, so it makes sense to tune for them along with the surface since lower lap times are typically desirable.
@@cbh148 maybe I’m splitting hairs but ANY shock absorbed by your thicker shock oil is lessening the amount being sent into your chassis or electronics no matter the jump. If it didn’t matter at all we would run water thin shock oil. Of course you can do the same amount of backflips… that’s not effected whatsoever. But your rig does take much less abuse if you have proper shock fluid. Imagine jumping with no shock oil… then imagine bashing with 100w oil… massive difference even if your chassis does slap regardless. One way you’re gonna shatter plastic, the other way you just get chassis slap
Looking forward to the next video!
Well, that was Rad🔥
The Tekno kit clutch is fine, and lines up as it should...
Another bit to solve that, you could use the 1Army motor mount and the rails have a set of holes to move things so they line up without all the shims and spacers...
I'm looking forward to adding some more 2.2 parts to an Ebuggy soon, and hopefully helping my son build the new 2.2 nitro buggy this winter...
The Tekno cars are great, but the 2.2 updates should make it just that much more dialed...our next part will be some 2.2 universals.
Maifield uses the 1Army engine mount which will let the Protek clutch line up correctly. Otherwise the kit clutch lines up fine with the kit mount.
In this video they used the 1army mount? But the kit clutch?
@@ballard-bt2ts No, kit engine mount but an aftermarket clutch I think.
@DSaw78 yep protek clutch is little bit short. Can shim clutch bit I never liked doing that too much cuz puts undue stress on clutch bell bearings
Awesome 👍
Hecks yeah
Hi I'm new to nitro rc's. Just purchased a srx8 serpent. Question is, Is it good for nitros to be ran very rich?
I want to get into RC racing but no idea how to start. I have a Senton BLX 3s short course truck. It’s mostly stock. Can I use my Senton for short course racing? The track near me is huckleberry RC. Dirt track. What modifications will I need to make it race able. Also, I just have spectrum 2 3s 500mah 50c. Will these battery’s work or will I need a bigger or more battery’s? I appreciate any advice or help.
Serpent has same hingepins/ castor blocks geometry
Exactly 💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can you try the vector 30
Kevin's & Karen's will always come out the woodwork!!!!! 😂🤣
Yeah this is why I don’t hang out in the racing scene. I tried 1/8 buggy racing and people spend more time sitting around complaining than they do driving and having fun. It’s like crabs in a barrel
@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe What? Bro, at my track, we hang out and drink beer while running laps. Even grill some bratwursts. All 1/8 buggies, mostly nitro. No schedule, just pick-up-basketball style racing each other on the track with non-stop joking. Way more fat to chew on than bashing.
@@cbh148maybe your scene is different. Over here, all the clubs I know about spend more time complaining than anything else.
I’m really hoping the e buggy doesn’t have those shock towers. As a guy that isn’t the best at racing yet I could see myself bending them.
The tekno radio tray needs to change!
💯🏁👍
Wow...on the clutch.
Do you all know of any petro vehicles that have a reverse?
nope. maybe old traxxas bashing vehicles but nothing like this.
@@luigibellantoni6828
It seems like it would be very easy to add a small electric motor for reverse if it's not possible with a transmission.
Tekno never got this right in the past. I remember having this issue with their 48.1.
I'm not a Tekno guy, but even I know that Tekno uses a non-standard clutch and your standard clutches don't fit out of the box and require the kind of tinkering you've seen here.
The stock one fits out of the box.
@@KacKLaPPeN23 I was under the impression that they used a standard clutch but this is a good point. Tekno clutches seemed always a little proprietary.
This is a fully adjustable race car of the highest caliber you have so much adjustment in there. There has to be an element of customization is what I will call it. The reason why the servo come with spacers is because you need to make small adjustments some people might not want to use the mud guards. You never know anyway there's lots of adjustment in this car and these problems are, not really problems they're there because you can customize the car drastically you can alter it Cam. It's towing. It's tow out and such so anyway this person probably doesn't know much about racing RC cars don't take it personal guys.

This industry is odd. You call this the hottest Buggy available but then go on to list multiple problems with the car and the build and claim they're no big deal. If a brand new product doesn't go together properly that's a big deal. Every manufacturer in the industry does this and the buyers don't seem to care. It's as if half asses is good enough. Why aren't customers demanding better of these companies and why aren't you as a retailer pressuring manufacturers? If the products I make didn't function on day one I'd be out of a job.
those issues mentioned are minor. like super minor..
You’re RIGHT, Sir! You said my thoughts…
@@luigibellantoni6828 Ffs they couldn't even produce a proper build guide and you have to buy additional shims just to make the thing run,😂 don't defend the company screwing you. Lego does better and they make kids toys.
@@franklee6301 The only thing Tekno themselves fucked up is one number and one letter in the manual, maybe not including some of their own servo spacers, though most servos come with those anyways.
The clutch issues all stem from not using the stock clutch and clutchbell, you can't expect the manufacturer to include parts to make all aftermarket components fit.
he said why it was the hottest car in the first 10 seconds. the car quite literally just came out. of course there’ll be issues
Meh, Team Losi.
Team Losi is outdated constantly behind the competition and nowhere near as sturdy the most races Ive ever DNF was because of a losi..
Just something about this guy I don’t trust.
What? Why? lol he’s been a trusted member of the RC community probably for a decade or more now. He’s pretty much proven himself to be a good guy and I’ve never heard or seen anyone say anything like this about him before so what makes you say this?
He’s a valued asset in the RC community and a good rep for Amain.
It's because he lost too much weight. I only trust people that aren't pushed by the wind.
I dont know... You're still buying a tekno which is based highly on Theory thats put into CAD and someone just goes "this'll do, make it!"
Buy a Proven Platform, Kyosho... mugen... or similar they have their Axle height etc figured out...
Ha! Seems like it’s working pretty good in competition!
@@ballard-bt2ts so has every other car the Pro's use.... lmao
@@MrSupermugen good point, Dakotah Phend uses a Spektrum radio and wins with a Horizon hobby car.
@@ballard-bt2ts Exactly, the X platform is not great but he still puts it up there.
If a pro winning with this Tekno doesn't give it some credibility because a pro can win with any car, then where could one brand gain credibility? And Maifield even won with it before they found/developed improvements such as altering the axle height, so it was already great. So since Mugen changed their rear arm pivot width, does that mean they don't have their rear arm pivot width figured out?
Pretty easy to poke a lot of holes in that line of thinking, chief.
Meh, nitro is yesterday's technology, pass.
Electrics are about as manly as a Tennis skirt pretty feminine..
And yet it’s a thriving racing category.
Tech doesn’t need to be new to be fun.
@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe
They are noisy, smelly and slower than brushless, pass..
@@James.._ Its not all about straight line speed and look at lap times nitro buggy is still faster on track then e buggy I can just sense you drive a Tesla and also think they are superior with this attitude..
@@dsrc53
Nice assumption there, I drive a 4wd...
Stay triggered 👍😉😂
Kevin's & Karen's will always come out the woodwork!!!!! 😂🤣
