Nice! In my opinion, that's the best version of the Land Cruiser. The 80 series, it was available in the US from 1990 to 1997. Would love to have one of these 1/18 scales, I'm loving my 1/24th, but I think a 1/18 would be a little bit more usable outside.

I like how the motor is actually positions towards the bottom so lower CG

With the popularity of all this small 1/18 and 1/24th stuff, I'm hoping Hobbywing will make a small compact but programmable ESC for this market.

I run the katana religiously, with upgraded electrics of course. Love it!!! Its a challenge for sure.

Better crawlability? If so, what is your build sheet.

It's an excellent upgrade for this Katana, the test run is conclusive and of course your explanations of the work to be done are perfect.

Medic!! I love watching your videos, i've been going back to the good ole days and rewatching Slash 4x4 and OG Wraith videos. Its crazy how the tips you put out 8 years ago are still relevant to me today. Thanks for everything, and hey, we wouldn't complain if you busted out the BLACK WiDOW every once in a while!!

I really love that truck. I have always been a fan of the older land cruisers. Great video medic.

This has to be one of the best rc's iv seen in a long time - Im sold on it!

Doggone it, I love that Little truck, but for now, I love my 1967 Chevy pickup 1/24. Went out with it first time Sunday , my friends at backyard crawler addicts on Facebook. It was their fifth year anniversary of being in RC, and there course they start building, the last three years I've had the pleasure being part of . When I first got back into the hobby 2012 I had nobody for 4 years , just me myself and I, and your videos. Now I have places to go, and have met a lot of great people. And I will always forever be grateful to you medic. For inspiring me back into the hobby. Thank you. You and your family have a great holiday season

I LOVE the look of the Landcruiser!

Such a beautiful RC. If only these were available in every good hobby store.

Nice little SUV. With the change, it's a great crawler and handles well, plus pretty close to quiet.

I love that it has a functioning hood!

Definitely much quieter. Nice work! Love your work keep up the awesome videos Man Rock on!!

Great update!

Always informative and entertaining videos! Love this LC80!

These little trucks are truly awesome I have a scx24 deadbolt that just arrived and a B17 Betty 1/24 on order! I don’t think I would have gone in that direction if it wasn’t for your new videos on this scale truck! I say thanks my wife says oh God not more!😂😁👍

Nice work finding out why it was so loud! Never thought about it being the acoustics! I might try a small bit of foam surrounding it on mine and see how that works before changing it. I'm still jealous of your indoor course..... 😍

Did the foam work out fine or did it still do the noise

Had a thought. Flowing river/stream through the obstacles

the Newest version of this truck has fixed that noisy ESC. still a rad truck though I thoroughly enjoy mine

I'll never forget my first job out of truck driving school, hauling tomatoes, they told me there's only one thing we don't do around here, turn into the field and cross the rows, you have to follow the row and turn at the road or you'll get jacked around like nobody's business so guess what I did, crossed the rows and put the pedal to the metal in first gear, lost a lot of tomatoes to the ketchup and was sore for a week 😆

Hi Aaron. It is a great looking car and the sound is a way better now its perfect 👌. When you unbox it and that sound from the esc 😱😱😱. But now with the new esc its really perfeckt and it is really a great car to see. Greeting from the Netherlands my friend.

Austin Powers catch phrase OH behave 😏

It sounds a lot better, on this and sounds like an actual Engine running.

I am going to have to check it out. 😁

That truck is bad ass. I need to get me a trail truck...

Love the vid!

Good video!

NOIICE!!!

Nice car 😊

just bought one today...really nice car

With all these 1/18 scales, I'm still waiting for the first Teton to show up. Aaron, now you're talking my line of work. The reason the whine was so loud is that the vibrations making the whine were transmitted into the body shell. The hood being up had very little to do with the volume, because the vibrations in the entire body were being converted to acoustical energy. Much of this is due to the screws keeping the body firmly attached. A cheaper solution would be to convert to a looser hold-down system & turf the screws.

@poppygoatshomestead

3 жыл бұрын

Its not just a shell though Al, it has a complete bolted interior, which would deaden the vibration. And the BOX aka engine bay definitely amplified the sound of the ESC/RX combo. That had nothing to do with the body harmonics, brudda!

I watched the whole vid, always do lol plus so many I haven't seen.

I love it and want it!

That is going to be a fantastic trail rig. Winch, spotlights...plastic accessories on the roof. This thing is identical to our 1/10. Classic shape. Might need some oil in those shocks?

Love the look of this little rig! I would take some tape, or see if you could get some scraps of sound deadening material from a car audio shop... strategic placement may also help in other areas, not just sound...

I'm here to tell you if you haven't videoed while climbing, it's an art in itself.

Maybe try and add some tiny O-rings between the body and the mounts to further isolate the noise? It is wayyyy better than before. The original video totally turned me off to them but with a few tweaks and mads it maybe worth looking into :)

So 🔥

Have you considered putting a thin rubber O-ring between the body mount and body as well as a single layer of Gorilla Tape around the transmission clearance tunnel on the floorpan as well as the inside of the fender wells. Maybe it would serve as good dampening and breakdown some of the accoustics. Sorry I'm late to the show! Been on Christmas Vacation for a couple weeks!

I’ve got a BXR in my mini z 4x4 and along with a LiPo and it’s great

So much quieter I’m my opinion or at least not that microwave sounding tone it had stock nice mods man🤘

I can't wait to get my own rochobby

Love your video👍 Next project: Capo Cub1 1/18 Defender 😅

nice 80 series

Great video bro 👍 🎄🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄🎄

Have you or Lyle tried putting a heavy grease in the friction shocks to helping reduce the bouncing and improve dampening. The tops of the shocks come off of these 1/24 scale i believe.

I like it, kinda sounds like an old diesel at high rev. Love that body tho.

Try some rubber washers on the body mounts and some bits of heavy double sided tape on the underside panels that are resonating. Or take it to Fargo and have Shep Proudfoot apply that undercoating

If it bothers you check for spots where the motor and trans actually contact the body directly. In a real car we chase noises that way. If you find a spot then file it down or put a little rubber in there to isolate it. Also try some small o rings between the body and the frame where the screws hold it down.

I really like that body, man, going to be interesting to see if 1/18 gets as much attention as the 24s.

@fun_rc

3 жыл бұрын

If you ask me, 1/18-16 got their attention way before 1/24s ... with all the chinese (wpl, etc...) models out there....the only problem with them beeing that you have to instantly upgrade the transmission's and electronics (they get broke after 1-2 uses), otherwise ...they have pretty good looking/scale hard shells and for the price...i see you guys didnt use/know them.

Yess sirrr gold member 😂

Maybe try a small o-ring or rubber servo grommet between the body mounts. May reduce the resonance and quiet it down a bit.

That is a great little truck man. I agree that the esc sound is annoying. Tekin works way better. Top notch man. 🍻😎👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You could have used some gasket tape on the underside of the body, maybe some inside the cab on the floorboards to reduce noise resignation. High end full size cars and SUVs have sound deadening rolled on the inside of the panels to reduce cabin noise.

crazy the noise difference

I might have to send mine to you so you can fix that noise 😂

atleast the rear signals work after the esc switch. people only see the rear anyway while driving ;) oh shit just realized the front works too,. dope

It's got a v6 sound with a rev limiter now hahaha

Put sound box in it that acoustic sound would be amazing maybe

Fms fire horse esc/receiver is silent on KZread video. But finding one for sale is difficult. It also has adjustable drag brake on the controller and more light modes.
