Hey great to see your video. We have been the NZ PR supplier for 5 years. You don't need the grease on the diff edges and gaskets, they don't leak. Better to put the slime on the orings to stop them from being dry.

I've ran for PR Racing in the USA for 7 years. The fit and finish are great and the cars are extremely durable. They had 13mm shocks years before the big brands did.

I'm 53, raced and built precision kits before but this kit definitely has a modern touch to it of things I haven't seen before. Definitely and amazing build. Its definitely a treat to own this car I would amagine because of the details.

Nice to see one being built again very competitive car, I'd definitely go up in diff oils to calm it a little you'll have bags of steering, maybe front shock oil too But drive it and enjoy it!

Brilliant upload. The Attention to detail, production and editing are all immaculate.

That acctually looks a better buggy than the xray ive built. But from my experiance PR have allways put out great kits at a good price. Cant wait to see it on track 👍

Great to see how things have changed since I raced as a kid in the mid to late 80s with a Schumacher Cat and Mid-Optima, that's a lovely kit to build

Nice car going to considered. I have an LC Racing car and the fit and finish is impeccable. The coated hardware is sadly better than any Tamiya or Kyosho kit I ever built.

That's a really nice bit of kit. 👍🏻

Excellent video... yet again!!! Inspiring too!!! I look forward to seeing it painted and running!!! It's a little tricky for me set the slipper clutch just right. They're still new to me.

That certainly looks like a quality kit! Thanks Gavin!

Beautiful machining.

Gav I cut the posts down on mine and used a Willspeed o ring battery hold down on the car, worked really well. Once fitted you can use any lipo you like

good idea to put some silicone oil on the seal in the diff..

Nice job 👏 👍

nice built video, this racing buggy looks fantastic and is tough as a tank hopefully doesn't drive like one😀😀😀😀😀😀

Great video! Materials and quality look really nice. It's great that so many options come in the kit where you have to buy them separately with others. I looked online and it appears that this model is quite old. It hasn't been updated in several years nut is still relatively pricey. What made you choose it? I wonder how XRay feels about all these cars copying their design :). I would think that lighter diff oil would have the same effect as removing two bevel gears without the risk of stripping the gear. Please follow up with the shock hoods that you use.

The video is worth the wait. I noticed your rear shocks was placed in front of the rear shock tower [mine was placed behind] would you happen to know what it does to the car besides "protecting" it? Thanks.

2-gear-Diff is standard at Schumacher now. I run it both 2wd and 4wd(front&rear).

so you would recommend running 2 gear diff in the front and rear on carpet ? What oil cst would you recommend?

@@RCKickschannelYes, but of course it depends on different things. 4-gear would calm down the car. I run stock 12k, but on astro.

Looks like an excellent buggy. I hate the painting. Particularly the fiddly brush bits. Been trying to finish my vintage Ford Ranger body since December!

In the FINAL! I neely died laughing 😠😡😓😱

Dont know this brand but some pro drivers like Spencer Rivkin put in the rear shocks upside down. Lowers centre of gravity and makes the shocks work different. Seems to work for them great. I would do the same if i would run carpet i think

The shims on top of the steering posts should go over the post and sit on top of the bearings. It looks like you might have the wrong shim on there. The one side looks pinched between the post and the graphite plate.

I checked and this is the correct size. Don’t forget this part doesn’t move.

@@RCKickschannel The shim is there to take out any up and down play of the steering bellcrank and also keep the bearing moving smoothly. On my 401 the carbon fiber piece sits right against the posts with the shims down on the posts.

I love these kits but always hated the wheels. Being flush. I understand the reason, but they do have cool round sticker kits that look like real wheels with real patterns . I'd love to see you pick some up in one of your videos.

Turnbuckles! yes My least favorite part to build. I ease the pain a little by tapping the ball cups first. Get some M3 taps both left and right hand threads. Put the tap in a hand drill and tap out the cups. makes life a lot easier on the fingers.

I need a wheeler. I don’t know if I want to save $200 by getting last years Xray or the latest.

Did you use any upgrade parts during this build or was is all out the box parts??

@RCKickschannel

4 ай бұрын

All out of the box parts. I’m doing some upgrades now on it so it will be back on the show. I’m fitting titanium screws as well as the race chassis to it. I will also be upgrading to titanium turnbuckles. The only other thing I would like to do is fit the alloy steering but that’s out of stock currently.

At 14:53, is the diff housing metal?

Get a turnbuckle driver

I guess the layout for a 4wd Buggy has peaked. They all looked the same now…

Off the wall idea for a future show. Take a tamiya re release ( egress avante black top force or top force evo) and make it race ready.
