Exactly, I still have it , before I got back into Rc , I used that rig for years with a 55 Chevy body and foam wheels . It was around 460$ when it came out , the original body’s even bigger than the fiesta

@@RcPlayer-tt2vw it is a little bit bigger, but not by much.

I built something like this out of a slash ultimate last year, but I used duratrax street tires on it, the thing is a riot to drive, and fun as hell to drift. Took it to a local dirt track, and it was super fun!

The original Rally, that came out in 2011, already had the brushless velineon system as standard. It also was the first vehicle which had the 4x4 lcg chassis and ppl used it to convert the slash into a lcg short-course truck. A year later the slash ultimate came out which then had the lcg-chassis equipped.

I’ve always wanted one, I have no use for it, nor a place to really drive it. That being said, I’m getting one.

I got one about 2 months ago & was a bit disappointed at first because I couldn't get it to drift, it was constantly spinning.! All it took was to stiifen the rear shocks all the way, soften the fronts nearly all the way & aligning the rear toe.! I was surprised to see they'd given it toe out/negative at the rear.!!! I put a couple of degrees of positive toe/toe out at the rear, I didn't even touch the diffs, they're pretty near perfect out the box (which is quite rare)😉.. Now it drifts on demand, tracks beautifully straight & true. The only thing is, it now has a bit of understeer on power, but it can be easily provoked into sliding the rear with power.! I've geared it up on the stock system & got 57 mph.. I fitted a slightly smaller motor (3660)but 3800kv & got 52mph on 3S & 63mph on 4S...it was very hot though.!! I've put the stock motor back in.! They currently sell for only £224 here in the UK after HPI cut all their prices by about a third.. Just to buy the electrics alone would set you back about 3/4 of the selling price.! It's a total no brainer.! Also, with those belted tyres it's such a solid planted chassis that just inspires confidence. The tyres are actually surprising me too, I'd have totally expected to be half way through my 2nd set after 2 months but I'm still on the originals & they're barehalf worn.! Of course, I live in Scotland so my roads are almost permanently damp or wet, we'll see how they do in the heat & dry.! One last thingthe bodies aren't as weak as KZreadrs would have you believe, I've crashed mine numerous times going 50+,it's gobe skidding & tumbling down the road while bouncing of curbs & all that's happened is a couple of cracks starting right at the bottom of the front wheel arches.! I honestly can't recommend this RC enough.. So much so, I'm going to buy myself the speed truck version.!!

@@stevekeiron30 Absolutely.. they are very under rated.! If you liked the "Strada" range of RCs (I have the RX version👍👍), you'll be REALLY impressed with their "Quantum" range.!!! They're a couple of levels above.!! You get an awful lot of car for your money.! The rally version is basically a short course truck with different bumpers, they handle the rough stuff & jumps with ease.! (I have the Hobby Plus Short course truck version which is almost identical apart from the bumpers.. I'm thinking of fitting them to my rally version) Maverick in my opinion are like Hobao.. Under rated.! Hobao make some of the nicest chassis you can get, I have 5 of them, their 1/8 stuff is especially good.! The diffs & driveshafts have been bulletproof for me, I've had their big 1/8 SC8 short course truck for about 5 years, I've ran it mostly on 6S & it still has 100% original diffs & driveshafts. I always get the 80% complete rolling chassis versions & add my own electrics, plus you get to paint the body how you want.! Hobao do a 1/8 street/rally (It needs to be raised & fit 1/8 buggy tytes if you want to rally it) car called the GTS, it comes as a nitro/4S/6S or 80% artr. The 80% one goes for about £230 (in the UK) you might want to look at that, also the SC8 is just a big BEAST.! 😉 I've had my GTS at 87 mph on a Hobbywing 150 Amp ESC & a Rocket 4292 motor.! The SC8 is almost as fast.!

You really need a 6780. I’ve gone through several slipper clutches and the old center diff, nothing beats the 6780 center diff.

I love my Rally car, you need the metal motor plate with larger bearings also replace slipper clutch with the center diff.

Really nice car insane set up

Ya when u put a brushless system in there its a good idea to change the plasic bearing mount on the slipper

@10thScaleGarage

5 ай бұрын

This was one of the first brushless swaps I ever did. I’d do a lot different now.

Check the bearing that the slipper rides on in the chassis. Those are known for ceasing up. The plastic spacer that the bearing goes over is known for wearing out too, and there’s an aluminum upgrade that comes with a new bearing. Maybe take the motor out of mesh and see if the spur spins freely. Could be something binding in the front end🤷🏼‍♂️ They’re not as readily available but: CEN Puma HPI WR8 Maverick Quantum FLUX RX Carisma M48S Traction Hobbies KM WRC C3

I have heard this too. I bought the part that you recommend and also an aluminum center shaft and the part that Traxxas says you need to make this work. I think I only paid $30.00 for all 3 parts. Seems like a very cheap improvement. I have the Rally BL-2S car. I am not having any problems but I am going to change those parts anyway.

Maverick quantum Rx and the cen m sport are 4wd rallys that size. Associated has some new rally inspired stuff, but I'm pretty sure it's all 2wd. I have an LC racing ptg2 rally car with a Tamiya Honda Civic hatch body on it that's freaking awesome!!!!! Not as big as this though.......but it's got a 6.5t motor and absolutely riiiiiiipppppssssssssss......lol. also, put a King headz motor mount with a center diff from a hoss in that rally. Mello the diff fluid in it down to about 50k. 30k front, 10k rear.....then take er for a proper rally rip.

I made mine a drag car. I got tired of trying to find a good use for it. It jumps like crap, and the body makes it almost impossible to drive off-road. I love the looks though.

Well I've never driven the kyosho, but we recently built a 10th scale rally car based on a touring car chassis. The fiesta is a lot less effort to go through the rough stuff. Just hammer it and go, and the 10th scale needs a bit more focus and effort to keep its momentum going. Both are super fun.

@@10thScaleGarage ah ok. Definitely seems more plug and play compared to the kyosho which requires more tinkering etc. just wish this traxxas had a more simpler body paint scheme haha. I may try out a traxxas one day, but for now still loving my kyosho collection :)

I swapped the A arms with the rustler 4x4, also rustler wheels and tires, that gave it a wider stance ,castle system. Now it pulls wheelies.

Good evening brother cool channel brother enjoy the weekend

I literally pick one up 2 day before they released the brushless version one but for 239+ tax I absolutely love the thing took out the stock esc and put the xl5 hv from a trx4 sport and now can run on 3s and motor takes it just fine have about 11 runs on it and no breakage yet

I bought mine on a Saturday. Bought a ton of upgrades. Velineon, 6780 center diff, aluminum driveshaft and chassis brace, aluminum shock tops etc... on Tuesday... Traxxas release VXL on Friday. But I love the $239 body, and do NOT want the clipless mounts. A buddy bought the BL-2S version, and track piping shreads the body and mounts.

Maverick Flux RX is half the price and once modded a little is fantastic. 120A Hobbywing ESC, big motor, great body, great tyres...

I adore my rally! I have the sway bar kit in mine and doesn't roll nearly as much.

I've always liked it, and now that they made the new version I'm getting one.

Don’t forget it comes with the heavy duty package already on it. That’s a game changer.
