Love this sort of content mate! With the Midnight pumpkin being my first ever hobby grade I have nothing but love for it! 🎃 That one of yours is somewhat something of a celebrity as well, being the creator of the whole speed run series which has now become a beast of a concept! Just look at that thing!! The upgrades have made it look more like 1/10 scale now, with a certain element of stadium tuck vibes! As with a heavily upgraded clod, even though there aren't many of the original components left, it's still clearly a pumpkin, there's no denying that much. Great adaption of the front bulkhead, clever bit of modification there to make things fit! Those new front arms/wishbones look awesome, and the wider stance should hopefully make it more stable..... which will definitely help. What a beast, love it, love it love it! 👍 👍 👍 Ps I did laugh at Gary showing off his balloon knot live on KZread!! Bottoms up Gary! 🙀 😂

@poorboysrc

20 күн бұрын

Wicked, man! Glad you found my channel! Feel free to email any time you're stuck! Poorboysrc78@gmail.com As for the Blackfoot, the only weak point is the gearbox and rear axles. The gearbox tends to make a "clacking" sound under stress (too powerful a motor, etc...), as a result of the thin metal plates separating and stressing out the diff. You can fix this with the MIP ball diff. But when upgrading to the MIP diff, you'll also have to upgrade the stock rear axles (hex type) to the rere Frog dogbones (a.k.a. Frogbones). These are classic dogbone style, and a little longer, so they don't fall out of the drive cups.

Hey Fil, just out of curiosity did you try the 4 holes in front of the servo on the chassis for the upper links on that ukmonsters suspension? I was thinking of getting this kit as well being my MP is modded like yours, I wonder if 2 of those 4 holes would've worked.

Yeah I played around with it off camera for 30 minutes. The way I did it was the only way I could see it working (pretend I didn't grind down the carbon fibre). But like I said in the video, customization like that isn't my forte, so I won't deny that there may be other ways to make it work. Between trying to make it work, recording, Gary, life, and all the other distractions, I don't always see the best path forward. 👊🏼

That looks awsome brotha. I've been thinking about getting a set of those tires for my Sqaush Van. I won it from the RC Kicks raffle, and I'm not overly impressed with the stock tires. They almost feel "plasticky" if that's even a word...lol I've done the suggested Tamiya hop ups on it, and currently I'm running it on some basic slash tires. Not for the looks, trust me, but it does help with stability, and I don't want to ruin rhe stock tires and rims. I've been looking at various wheels and tires, including these, and would be curious to see what you suggest since you have the Squash van too. I wouldn't mind widening it either.

@poorboysrc

2 ай бұрын

Yeah the Squash Van (or Von Squash as I like to call it) is a top-heavy rolly-polly rig, isn't it? If you haven't already, watch my series on it. I dropped in a wild Castle BL system and ran it on both 2S and 3S. It was too much, but that's kind of the fun, isn't it? Haha. I set my dampers to 50% droop and it helped stability a ton! So that's a good starting point. You could put some wideners on there, or a more offset wheel to gain a little more stability, too. The stock tires are basically hockey pucks, so they don't offer much in the way of grip. Some guys use CW01 tires (2.0 I/D) and stretch them over the 2.2 Von Squash rim. I haven't done this in years, but some guys swear by it. The wider tire helps with stability. Those are some cheap, fun options to try. Good luck! 🍻

​@@poorboysrc Of course I watched the videos about the "Von Squash". 😁 I've been a subscriber for awhile and watch all you videos. Love the channel btw. I noticed the biggest difference when I put on the Gf-01 aluminum oil dampers with the TRF501X springs. I did put in a brushless setup, but nothing crazy, a Hobbywing Xerun Xr10 17.5t sensored system. I actually went with that system because of your videos. I knew anything too spicy, would turn it into a Roly Poly machine. Gavin spent alot of time to make it beautiful, so the last thing I want to do is ruin it. I'm probably going to pick up a runner body for it too.

It all depends on how fast you want to be. I'm running 3300kv and I really like it. Some say it's too much, but I love it. If you get an esc with adjustable parameters, that's a good idea. Since the CW01 likes to wheelie a lot, you'll want to dial down the initial punch so it's not flipping all over the place. 👊🏼
