    tell me that thing doesn't rollcage like a rollcage master! landing my bashers on an incline is soo much easier on the shocks and a-arms btw. every break i've ever had was on a flat landing crash. the Backflips will dig into the A-Arms eventually so might want to put some hextenders on them.

      @@midwestern_rc yass! Even just the hextenders on it will give it a better stance. I lost most of my recordings a la broken SD card. that's why there isn't much FireTeam footage on my channel right now. 😕

    Appreciate the video. First RC and was looking at Xrt but the 399 sale price had me go Fire Team. Probably going to get a Felony or Infraction next to leverage the battery investment. Video was perfect timing.

    Great video however the motor doesn’t have a sensor attached to it so it won’t hit thermal cut off the esc will hit thermal and if the esc hits thermal usually that motor is so hot you can burn yourself on it or cook bacon 🥓 on it lol great video bud keep ‘em coming I like how you explain things

    for $400 bucks they are fun around the neighborhood and minimal bashing. ive broken 2 of the steering tie rod ends (wheel side) when hitting a small kicker ramp. and it only comes as a set of all the tie rod ends and body mount, oh ya..... the body sucks and front shock tower bends easy.. i run zee 7000mah 100c and the power and speed is awesome. overall good around the neighborhood vehicle. needs work before ill call it a basher. broken ball cups, a-arm ball has poped out, front shock tower bent. all after about 10 packs... i call this a win, but not entry level...

Savage flux xl with Alza centre diff and set lvc to low on a new G2 max8 2250kv combo and get about 30/40 mins so am hoping the same in the fireteam if not more as the system I think is less total power and draw than the combo I’m using now
      Hopefully tomo I’ll try out the gens ace lipos and see how long I get
      But I do get what you mean as it feels like an enternity as on the blx 185 combo indeed that it does feel like forever
