Nice to see a woman who is interested in this hobby. I can't find one in real life so I will live vicariously through your videos haha. Keep up the good work. Try some Hobao products.

nice to meet another woman in rc's, i years ago built the tamiya frog, hornet, falcon and the clodbuster for me, my brothers and a neighbor then got myself a Tamiya king cab, hpi savage 4.6, hpi savage flux, and a couple of kyosho's. i got out of the hobby because back then there wasn't many girls interested in rc and I felt like an outcast.. just in the last year and a half got really back into the swing of things, and have bought 11 rc's to replace my old ones that have been neglected and is hard to find parts
thank you for being a fan of the losi xxx t i recently picked 1 up offa ebay that looks like it was just a shelf queen its gonna be my oval car
Stiffer springs, heavier shock oil and grease the diffs and it is a great RC.

+Drago Lackovic Thanks for stopping by!
no diff grease, put in diff oil, especially the center and it will make you happy. would it be possible to put a larger motor in there? looks like the mount might not allow it?
thanks for good review
Very good video I subbed!
Skypark! I fly some of my smaller planes there every once in a while
Nice outdoor track ... That buggy looks and runs great are you satisfied with its over all performance
think the shocks only need heavier/thicker oil. they are big-bore shocks which are quiet good.
Hobbyking ships from US warehouses..if you live on the west coast you can pick up parts in Oregon ..i don't think they are a Chinese company but i'm sure manufacturing parts are Chinese though lol..in fact i do remember them being an Australian company..cheers
I have the ACME DOMINATOR got it for less $ then the SABERTOOTH almost the same truggy & uses the same Parts as the SABERTOOTH

So how's the Basher holding up? Curious was thinking of getting one.. Great review and run by the way :)
WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW very nice
Interested in how that plasti dip worked out for you! What prep work did you do to the body? Is that the stuff that can be peeled off? Sorry if seems stupid question but haven’t seen it here in Australia (that’s not to say it’s not here just not familiar with it) than an :-)

Yeah it's the stuff that can be peeled off. I did it in camo green: amzn.to/2hZVkx7 No prep work at all, but unlike the lexan paints, you paint the outside of the body which was good because the body that came with the car was already painted. I then put the window and other decals over it when it dried. It's a great protectant as well. Doesn't last forever - several months or so with heavy use - but then you can just peel it off and spray it again. As with most spray paints, you do a super light misting for the bottom coat, then multiple light coats until it's covered.
This is awesome! I wish there were more women in the hobby.
looks like you could use team associated springs or losi
Hey Haley, I also have a Sabertooth which I’ve had for a couple of years now. What with Hobby King now not stocking parts for this truggy, have you found any X platform parts from other manufacturers that work? For example diff cases, spur gears, drive shafts etc. Looking at doing some upgrades before some bashing in the spring time.
Yeah definitely want to discharge at 3-5C and no lower than 3.8 the first few cycles or so.
and try to fiberglass your rc body i use fiberglas resin and cloth and carbon fiber cloth on my rc bodies
Sweet truggy! Will you be doing more videos on this with upgrades?

nice 👍
Cool truck, but out of my price range for now. Hope you are still having fun with it.
Bottom-coat that body with a couple coats of Herculiner, it'll hold up for years. And don't mind the chassis scars....just gives it character.
Also go follow her on instagram @ rc_girl
HI, I wan't to buy this truggy, can you recomend some parts to buy from hobbyking? when you use, there are something to broken?

No but have been wanting to try it. Any recommendation on a setup that might work?
I just have one question... it appears to me that the inner and outer suspension arms pivot on hinge pins which require "e" clips to retain them. Is this correct or are my ancient, 69 year old eyes fooling me again. Thanks for the videos and keep on gassing on it.
Nice Girl, nice Car, nice Dog ;)
Diff Oil ??? what ? i never heard of this... i thought everyone used light grease. what oil is it you use ?

It took a while since it was out of stock. But once it shipped, it was like a week or two.
Love the drab green on the body, and nice to see more females into the hobby. Also might not be the best idea to wear flip flops running RC like you said if it hits you at 40mph its gonna hurt. hate to see them pretty painted toes get ruined.
K love you love you shall keep up the good work with your goldens name
I love how you say, it'll definitely kill someone going 41MPH, all nonchalant and shit hahaa
This or the latest exceed truggy?

Are you looking at the mad warrior? This one is half(?) the price of an Exceed truggy. I've had a great experience with this truggy, and don't know much about exceed cars. I think it's just how much you're willing to spend.

Parts go in and out of stock on HK every so often and are really cheap, but i usually do a big order of spares since they ship from china and shipping is pricey. You can also order parts for the acme dominator, which are interchangeable but rebranded and cheaper shipping cost. bit.ly/2lo5skq
