It is an amazing truck 😊 and many thanks for your compliments towards the course.😁🙏 As far as the Ascenders go; We absolutely love them on my channel, and we currently own five of them, Two K10's, One Suburban, One Bronco, and this Sweet K5 Blazer. Do I recommend one ? Yes... Totally! 😊 Are they reliable ? Yes... Totally Reliable! 😊 Should you buy one ? Unfortunately their no longer in production, and Vaterra went out of business in like 2017 or something like that, but their parent company is still very much alive "which is Team Losi. Should I purchase one used 🤔 ? Well that depends on how it looks really, and prices can very greatly on Ascenders, Some people are from this planet and sell them for real world prices, and some people think that the trucks are made from 24k Gold 😄 Ascenders are pretty darn tuff and reliable, so I'd say that if the truck looks clean on the surface, then it's probably a pretty darn good deal for $200.00 bucks,🤔 I've seen them sell for anywhere between $150.00 to $800.00, and some of the $800.00 dollar one's were looking pretty beat up.😕 I'd say that if the body looks okay, and the chassis is all in one piece and everything is currently working, then that truck is worth $200.00 all day long.😁👍

And it came with a old outdated Spektrum DX6i transmitter to go along with it,😁 which is the same transmitter that I'm going to bind the plane up to.😄 Lol But the flight sim was a huge help... And I highly recommend one of those "for anyone thinking about flying a RC plane,😄 Lol Having that Sim is great for developing the muscle memory required for learning how to fly in RC airplane,😕 it's a huge help, and saves all kinds of money too,😂 Crashing a RC plane in the Sim doesn't cost you a penny, and crashing one in real life can be "potentially" very expensive.😕 I can't thank that person enough for donating that, it has "potentially" saved me a ton of money,😄 I crashed my plane 7 times the first time out "without trying it on a SIM first" and the second time out I didn't crash it at all,😕 instead I had one really bad landing on the ground, and two really nice high level parking jobs, in two different trees,😂 Lol But I didn't crash it.😁👍 And that's where I'm at "at the moment, "currently editing the end of a flight video, out in the Big RC Toy Box.😁 The Jeep...

Right on and Congrats with the TF2 😊👍 As for the Orbs; I didn't really notice them on film until January of 2019 or 2020 🤔 But once I noticed them, I went back and started looking at my older videos, and seen that they are visible on just about every video I have, starting from the beginning, and leading up to today.😕 So to answer your question... they were here before the Snowman figure, And someone or "something" out of that group of orbs decided that they liked the snowman figure, and figured that they would stick around for awhile.🤔😕 Or at least that's what I was thinking. I think that something has been following me around since I was a wee kid, and I'm just now able to capture it on film with "today's HD style video cameras" or at least made them more visible to the naked eye.😕 Now having said that, I've never seen any with my own eyes before this, but I have had all kinds of haunted house experiences throughout my life, and I think that something has been following me from my Grandmother's house in Canada, since I was around 4 years old or so,🤔 I used to get a crazy bad headache that would make me sick to my stomach, everytime we went to visit her, and I mean every time, it was like clockwork, as soon as I got about 25ft from the front door, the headache would hit me like a ton of bricks, and then I would almost start throwing up immediately after.😕 Never the less, we only went there a few times when I was a child (maybe 10 times in total before they moved) But when I think back about everything, I think that the orbs "and whatever it is that's following me" probably started way back then.😕 I've also recently seen some weird looking stuff in the background of old family photos of myself 🤔 "childhood pictures from from the 70's and 80's" But what looks like orbs in the background of those old pictures, could just as likely be the old film degrading.😕 So who's to say on that observation 🙄 But my general consensus is that it's something, or a group of something's, that has been slowly building up since I was a kid.😕 I'm a magnet 🧲 for those things apparently.😕 Does it bother me ? no not really.... 😆 Lol Or maybe I just got used to it 🤔😕😄 lol

The castles were built by Edward longshanks king of England when he invaded Wales in 1400 he built a ring of Castles all around wales to keep the Welsh Down . Then the Rebellion of 1400 to 1415 saw some captured by rebels lead by Owain Glyndwr the prince of wales .

Thing is he caused many centuries of animosity between the Scot’s and English and Welsh and English . But we all know he was the cause of it all these centuries later . same as the British in Ireland which was all started by William of orange . the animosity between the British and Irish is now hopefully sorting itself out because without those in power causing the problems ,we as everyday people can get along with each other without animosity non of us want to be at each others throats .

@R.C.A.D.2 ай бұрын
Well the best way is to measure between the center of the front wheel stud to the center of the rear wheel stud, and that will give you your wheelbase,😊 but the easiest way is to look at your vehicle online "at say Amain hobbies" and see what the wheelbase is in the vehicle description.😂 Trx4 Blazer, Trx4 79 Bronco, and the trx4 sports have a 312mm wheelbase, The Trx4 defender has the longer wheelbase of 324mm, along with the newer style trx4 bronco, and a few others, and then the newer trx4 high trail pickups have a completely different wheelbase,🤔 I'm not sure what it is off the top of my head, but it's in between 312 and 324mm, Thanks Traxxas! 🙄

@raidersperez1278 The 2021 Bronco has a 324 mm wheelbase, so...... Yeah......🤔 No matter how close it might look, you probably don't have it set up right.😕 "You basically just shortened your wheelbase" there's a fine line between 312mm and 324mm if you put them side by side it's barely noticeable, but there's definitely a difference between the two. Right now when you're suspension is fully extended your tires are probably coming close to the inner edges of the front and rear fenders, and with the 324mm setup it would be closer to the middle of the wheel well vs sitting slightly forward of center in the back and slightly backwards of center in the front,😕 You need to switch it over to the 324mm parts. The 312 setup will work, but it's not right for the wheelbase of your 2021 Bronco.😕

@8bitisthesh1telwell742 ай бұрын
Well honestly for your first flights I was impressed. You recognized some of your mistakes and attempted to correct them. It's almost impossible to start alone. The 2 main things I noticed is trying to gain altitude without enough air speed and trying to turn with aileron without enough air speed. And no rudder compensation" Airspeed is your friend" lol The thing that sucks is you do not have anyone to trim the plane for you. If it was trimmed and flying level with your hands off the sticks. That would at least give you a fighting chance. Try to takeoff , climb to a comfortable altitude, stay at that height and then try to make wide circle's using rudder rather then ailerons to turn. That being said it really is darn near impossible to get it all correct when it's all new. Tips from others can help but ultimately you have to just experience it for yourself I think your location is good, not ideal but it looks safe. I've taught people using a 3 channel setup with ratcheting throttle. Your setup is fine just try to keep the three channel (concept) in your mind. Your goal is to get to a safe comfortable altitude and stay there (no up and down) and you want to use rudder rather then ailerons to keep your wings level while turning. This method helps a lot to avoid wallowing around the sky and avoiding tip stalls. PS I've seen guys flying for years that cannot hand launch that good lol your getting the hang of that👍 Have fun guys👍

I got back into RC after 20yrs because I can't drive a real car anymore. So it's a good creative outlet for me.
@TyJoe_N_MattyMoe My apologies for the late response I was outside doing yardwork.😕 As far as everything you said "Holy cow man, you're lucky to be alive,😳 epilepsy is no joke, my older brother has it as well, and has to take medication twice a day for it. Back to you... I'm glad that you're here and pulled through the ruff stuff, life can definitely wear you down as a single person trying to survive, I know about that all to well 🙄 Living paycheck to paycheck, and going day's without food because the bills needed to get paid.😞 Oh yeah I've definitely been there, and had to sell off just about everything I owned to survive.🙄😞 Anyways.... I'm glad that you pulled through man 😊 And welcome back to the RC Hobby.😁👍🤜🤛
Love this truck. Absolute beast! 32:16 is a perfect example of what makes scale crawling so fun. Can you imagine driving that it a 1:1 Hilux lol. Or driving thru role #11 😮 Awesome run bro. Thanks for sharing👍
Thanks Doug... 😁 I love this truck too, it's certainly not the best crawler in my collection, but I definitely love it just a little bit more than the rest.🥰 "32:16" I had to go back and look "and your right,😄 that was a little bit on the edge, and a hair away from complete disaster.😂 Driving thru Rollover #11; That would have been a ride for sure "makes me glad that it's just an RC, and not the real deal.😄 Many Thanks for your indepth comment Doug, comments like that say that you watched the entire movie, 😁 and that's the greatest compliment that I could ever ask for, and I appreciate it, 😊🙏 many thanks for checking out the show bro.😁🤜🤛
What an amazing truck n course im looking at one to buy do you highly recommend me buying one if it’s used or is it better to get new the person selling it wants like 200 if that a fair price would like your opinion thanks for your videos
It is an amazing truck 😊 and many thanks for your compliments towards the course.😁🙏 As far as the Ascenders go; We absolutely love them on my channel, and we currently own five of them, Two K10's, One Suburban, One Bronco, and this Sweet K5 Blazer. Do I recommend one ? Yes... Totally! 😊 Are they reliable ? Yes... Totally Reliable! 😊 Should you buy one ? Unfortunately their no longer in production, and Vaterra went out of business in like 2017 or something like that, but their parent company is still very much alive "which is Team Losi. Should I purchase one used 🤔 ? Well that depends on how it looks really, and prices can very greatly on Ascenders, Some people are from this planet and sell them for real world prices, and some people think that the trucks are made from 24k Gold 😄 Ascenders are pretty darn tuff and reliable, so I'd say that if the truck looks clean on the surface, then it's probably a pretty darn good deal for $200.00 bucks,🤔 I've seen them sell for anywhere between $150.00 to $800.00, and some of the $800.00 dollar one's were looking pretty beat up.😕 I'd say that if the body looks okay, and the chassis is all in one piece and everything is currently working, then that truck is worth $200.00 all day long.😁👍
I want to thank you for your advice I love how you actually took the time and effort in replying i really appreciate it thank you so much and god bless you I’ll be seeing your videos n supporting your channel
@gonzaloguerrero3110 don't mention it 😄 It's my pleasure to help anyone out if I'm able to, "and we have a lot of love for Ascenders on my channel, So I felt like it was my duty to answer you asap.😄 Ha ha ha lol Seriously though I can't thank you enough for your support, and don't hesitate to drop a comment, or question, at any time my friend.😊👍
@gonzaloguerrero3110 P.S. A couple of my Ascenders are One of a Kinds, feel free to check out the before and after videos for the Bronco and Suburban Ascenders, those two trucks are pretty darn impressive.😁 The "before videos" are when we first got each truck, "which were both purchased used" And the "after video's" are roughly after a week in my possession, and what I did to improve each vehicle, "Which is pretty Slick! Both of those trucks look Bad A#$... And are truly one of a kind.😁 Should also check out my K10 and this K5 Blazer with Traxxas Portal axles, a Traxxas VXL 3s Velenion brushless system and Traxxas all terrain Trax on them, 😄 ha ha ha lol "way better than a Traxxas Trx4 in the snow, there's no doubt about that,🤔👍 And also two more "one of a kind Ascenders" which are also the very First of their kind too.😁 I'm pretty good at making One of a kind RC's that are better than the originals.😊
Hell yea I’ll check them out for sure I’m new to rc world but I’ve been collecting several 1/18 scale from Amazon such as the fj40 from fms and Toyota 4 runner other truck I got a couple of 1/10 scale fast rc but those didn’t draw my attention lol I love the slow crawling and trails vehicle they’re more realistic and all the things you can do with them is so awesome I’m thinking of buying that truck from that guy but my wife tells me that I should just buy a new one from a hobby store lol she don’t get it lol
You know mister jim,,FMS They seem to use leaf Springs on the 1/12 scale RC vehicles, but not the 1/10 scale vehicles, and what are they thinking?
I seen that too, and was thinking the same thing as you.😄 What the heck FMS!
Did you figure out what was making the noise yet in your little rc jeep
😄 ha lol "nope, not yet. I got busy with a bunch of other stuff around here, and haven't had much time to go in and look at it.😕 And I also did "exactly what I said "that I didn't want to do, 🙄 And that was falling behind on putting out videos.😕😞 I have four videos ready to go, but I had gotten sidetracked with making a half mile long walking trail "that's wide enough to drive a full size truck through" going all the way around the perimeter of our property.😁 It's pretty cool! And has also opened up a lot of new areas to run the RC's, which is even cooler really.😄 Lol And I also found a lot of new Rocks for the adventure course too, "in the process of making that trail" 😊 I'll probably do a video on it before too long.😁👍 Other News; I put new drive shafts on the TF2, and did a video running it on 3s around the adventure course, Which was pretty cool too,😄 it was the first time that I had the TF2 out in about 2-3 years, and it was also the very first time that I've ever ran it on 3s.😊 That video will be titled "The Mighty TF2" And I also filmed another Airplane video with the Aeroscout 😕 and I ended up parking it in a tree twice,😞 And talk about a pain in the rear to get the plane back.🙄😕 Other delays; Our Michigan weather has also been causing delays in the program,🤔 the Temps have been up and down and up and down, and it's also been windy'er then normal, along with raining on and off for week long stretches,🙄😞 it Sucks! 😕 The weathers not good for anything but a indoor day job.🙄😞 Especially after getting my nose broken last fall "after getting hit with that falling tree branch" it makes me want to stay out of the woods on those windy days.😕 And that makes it tuff to get any new construction done on the adventure course.🙄 Can't be wasting time looking up every time the wind blows,😕 otherwise nothing ends up getting accomplished.😞 I'm gonna have to start wearing a Helmet and Chest Protector to get any work done out there.😂 Lol Back to the Willy's Jeep; As I look over towards the work bench "this is what I see, Total Chaos! 😄 Ha lol "Starting on the far left side of the bench" we've got manuals and various parts laying about for different RC's, then there's the TF2 body resting by the screwdrivers towards the back of the bench, and a set of custom carved 2.2 Canyon Trails sitting in their tire bag's, right in front of the TF2, and closer to the front of the bench, "their for my Trx4 bronco" To the Right of the TF2 is the Tamiya Volvo A60H, and it's waiting for me to finish the lifting bed portion on it, In front of the Volvo "closer to the front of the bench" is my dirty Tf2 sitting in a cheap tin turkey basting pan,😂 I put it in that when I finished it's run, and it hasn't moved since.😄 Lol To the right of the Volvo and Turkey basting TF2 "is the Aeroscout airplane, it's comfortably resting on top of a roll of paper towels, and currently in the middle of swapping Transmitter's, as well as still using it to finish the end of its last flight video,😕 Basically showing the damage that occured during its most recent flights along with my plans to swap it out to a different transmitter.😕 And then to the right of the Aeroscout is a old outdated laptop computer, and a old outdated Phoenix 5.5 flight simulator program,😄 The computer was ours, and the Flight Sim was donated to the channel by a viewer who doesn't want to be named,😊 And it's pretty cool... And it came with a old outdated Spektrum DX6i transmitter to go along with it,😁 which is the same transmitter that I'm going to bind the plane up to.😄 Lol But the flight sim was a huge help... And I highly recommend one of those "for anyone thinking about flying a RC plane,😄 Lol Having that Sim is great for developing the muscle memory required for learning how to fly in RC airplane,😕 it's a huge help, and saves all kinds of money too,😂 Crashing a RC plane in the Sim doesn't cost you a penny, and crashing one in real life can be "potentially" very expensive.😕 I can't thank that person enough for donating that, it has "potentially" saved me a ton of money,😄 I crashed my plane 7 times the first time out "without trying it on a SIM first" and the second time out I didn't crash it at all,😕 instead I had one really bad landing on the ground, and two really nice high level parking jobs, in two different trees,😂 Lol But I didn't crash it.😁👍 And that's where I'm at "at the moment, "currently editing the end of a flight video, out in the Big RC Toy Box.😁 The Jeep... Holy cow I didn't even mention the jeep 😂 And that's because it's not on the bench, and is currently sitting on the RC display wall "below my K10 Ascender, and above my Wltoys 10428a Hydroplane truck.😁 don't know when I'll get around to taking it apart, but when I do "I'll make sure to put it on camera.😊 Otherwise though I'm still happy with it.😁 It's definitely not the best RC crawler for the money, but I wouldn't have ever known that without the opportunity of owning one first,😕 Especially since nobody else other than myself on KZread, would ever give someone the straight facts on a vehicle such as this,😕 Most folks like to show RC's like they never have a problem, and "me" on the other hand "me likes to tell the Truth.😁👍 Ha ha ha 😂 lol I personally like that little jeep, but it's definitely not a everyday crawler, and it's not necessarily built for the long haul,😕 She's basically just a very scale shelf model "that you can take out and drive every once and awhile" 😕 I've only had it out twice, and the first time was in the snow, "which is where it picked up that clicking sound" 🤔 and that's not good! 😕 "If it was in the dirt" then I might think that some sand might have gotten into something, "But since it started doing it in the snow"🤔 That means "that it must be internal, and I'm guessing it's coming from it's crappy "linear gear reduction transmission"🤔 "Ultimately" I'm foreseeing that body on an entirely different chassis somewhere down the line, just because I know "that the original chassis isn't going to hold up.😕 But right now she's looking pretty, and currently sitting on display with all the rest of the RC's.😊👍

how did you get to lift it so high? i want my TF2 that tall, you got lift springs?? please advise
Did you watch the entire video ? 😕 I'm sure that I mentioned it in there somewhere "considering that's what the video is kinda about in all" Not all of that lift is suspension related 😄 lol I've also got a custom body lift on it.😊
Do you have to buy the control and the battery separately?
Yes sir... 😕 This is a RC Kit, Which means that it's not assembled, and that it comes with absolutely nothing but the basic vehicle, tires, and motor. Everything else needs to be purchased separately,🙄 Which would be a 2 to 4 or possibly even a 6 channel Transmitter & Receiver, along with One to Two Servo's for the front and possibly rear steering, along with a ESC or "Electronic Speed Controller" and a Battery for the vehicle. If you want a RC Vehicle that's Ready to go straight out of the box, then you need to look at RTR vehicles which stands for "Ready To Run" although most RTR vehicles don't come with a battery,😕 so you'll have to pay attention to the details when shopping.😊👍
hope i dont sound like a weirdo but would love to send you some pictures of my collection . i send parts to popular you tube guy been following him for 7 years send part for him to try out would like to send you some of my proto parts as well for testing ...
I just checked out your channel "to see if you had anything that you were talking about pictured there" and I was surprised to see that you didn't,😕 but as an inventor I can understand why you wouldn't want people seeing new products and ideas, 🙄 Since the majority are out for themselves, and are always on the lookout for someone to step on, in order to get ahead in life.😕 And then the next thing that I was surprised about, Was that you weren't subscribed to my channel 😕 ? As far as seeing your collection; I've got two suggestions 😕 #1 You can try emailing them to me at the email address that's attached to my channel profile, (by clicking "View channel" and then clicking on, or scrolling over to my channel info, to see my Email address, "Which is something that I suggested on a previous comment a few weeks ago" #2 or the second suggestion for viewing your collection; Record a short video of your collection, and then Post it up on your KZread channel.😄👍
when is your next video
I've got a few that are ready to get uploaded "it's just a matter of going into town to upload them" 😊 As for why I haven't uploaded any lately; I've been busy making a Trail that goes all the way around the perimeter of our property "which is 10 acres of solid trees" 🙄 But it's almost done 😄 I've been working on it all week, "starting at 8am and finishing my work days at 10pm" the loop has basically been made, and now it's just a matter of smoothing everything out a bit more. But so far it's pretty darn Sweet.😊 Next video is going to be "The Mighty TF2 out on the adventure course" and that's going to be title as well. 😁
nice!!🤩
👍
Just seen your video .I’m in the uk and have just got my first Tf2 kit .the thing about the orbs …did you have them before you bought the snowman figure or did they come after .as they could be joined onto that figure and came into your home with it .just a thought
Right on and Congrats with the TF2 😊👍 As for the Orbs; I didn't really notice them on film until January of 2019 or 2020 🤔 But once I noticed them, I went back and started looking at my older videos, and seen that they are visible on just about every video I have, starting from the beginning, and leading up to today.😕 So to answer your question... they were here before the Snowman figure, And someone or "something" out of that group of orbs decided that they liked the snowman figure, and figured that they would stick around for awhile.🤔😕 Or at least that's what I was thinking. I think that something has been following me around since I was a wee kid, and I'm just now able to capture it on film with "today's HD style video cameras" or at least made them more visible to the naked eye.😕 Now having said that, I've never seen any with my own eyes before this, but I have had all kinds of haunted house experiences throughout my life, and I think that something has been following me from my Grandmother's house in Canada, since I was around 4 years old or so,🤔 I used to get a crazy bad headache that would make me sick to my stomach, everytime we went to visit her, and I mean every time, it was like clockwork, as soon as I got about 25ft from the front door, the headache would hit me like a ton of bricks, and then I would almost start throwing up immediately after.😕 Never the less, we only went there a few times when I was a child (maybe 10 times in total before they moved) But when I think back about everything, I think that the orbs "and whatever it is that's following me" probably started way back then.😕 I've also recently seen some weird looking stuff in the background of old family photos of myself 🤔 "childhood pictures from from the 70's and 80's" But what looks like orbs in the background of those old pictures, could just as likely be the old film degrading.😕 So who's to say on that observation 🙄 But my general consensus is that it's something, or a group of something's, that has been slowly building up since I was a kid.😕 I'm a magnet 🧲 for those things apparently.😕 Does it bother me ? no not really.... 😆 Lol Or maybe I just got used to it 🤔😕😄 lol
@@R.C.A.D. that’s very interesting to read . I used to get a feeling of somebody watching me and being near at my grandmothers house, just upstairs I think it was my grandfather who had passed away a few months earlier in 1976 . Not in the house but in a hospice so I think it was him just keeping an eye on me when I was alone . It’s a funny feeling you can’t explain . Also a few years ago I was in a place called Conwy castle in Wales in the Uk where I’m from . And just as I was climbing the steps to the battlements I noticed a pair of legs in chainmail with the armoured over shoes and shin plates I said to my wife can you see those legs and by time she looked they were gone . The castles were built by Edward longshanks king of England when he invaded Wales in 1400 he built a ring of Castles all around wales to keep the Welsh Down . Then the Rebellion of 1400 to 1415 saw some captured by rebels lead by Owain Glyndwr the prince of wales . So there’s a lot of history and death here in Wales so I think the legs were from that part in time I saw .
@craigpimlott204 Sorry for the delayed response Craig, it's been a busy couple of days. As far as your story goes; I hear you, and believe you 100% As for old King Edward; I heard of him being referred to as Long shank's in a movie, but I had no idea that's what he was actually referred by.😕 And that also brings up another question about what could be hanging around over here.🤔 My last name is "Campbell" And I am directly related to the same Campbell's of Breadalbane,😕 and "my Father, my older Brother, and myself" are the last three males on our side of the family tree.😕 Now if you think about all the past history between the Campbell's and the MacDonald's, not alone all the dirty work that they did for the King of England,🙄 makes me wonder if there could be some kind of connection from that past history in the family.🤔 ? "Which is just a thought that I've had for awhile, and you reminded me of it when you were talking about old Long Shanks.😊
@@R.C.A.D. yep old long shanks was a right old tyrant against the Scot’s and the Welsh he didnt treat The English great either . Taxed the English to death in some cases to pay for his Scottish and Welsh invasions and his ring of Castles around Wales to quell the Welsh uprising . Thing is he caused many centuries of animosity between the Scot’s and English and Welsh and English . But we all know he was the cause of it all these centuries later . same as the British in Ireland which was all started by William of orange . the animosity between the British and Irish is now hopefully sorting itself out because without those in power causing the problems ,we as everyday people can get along with each other without animosity non of us want to be at each others throats . Same with king George in America throwing his weight around without that nonsense folk would of got along just fine … 🇬🇧🇺🇸
@craigpimlott204 😊👍
You know what sucks bad, I had a trx-4 chevy k5 blazer and I had to sell it because I had to fix my car and I had no friends to start a 4X4 trail group with, in had to do this alone.
😞 That Sucks... Sorry man I started out by myself too, "except with a RC4wd Trail Finder Two" and then a little while later I bought a Vaterra Twin Hammers 4×4 Buggy and started filming and driving two vehicles at the same time by myself,😕 And then I was forced to move back home from "financial difficulties" and now I drive with my brother and niece.😄 My finances and priorities still suck, but at least I've got people to crawl with. 😂 Ha ha ha lol Sorry man... And I hope that things turn around for you. 😊👍👉🏆
@@R.C.A.D. yeah but I found out I can lease one and I'm gonna get the high trail edition K10
Hey buddy, you have by far the best and very detailed videos about rc cars modifications, keep it up ! And i would really like to see how you would install limit switches for servos on the excavator, i wanna do it for my double e 561 but im not sure with wires, which one should go where etc., same with yellow beacon led light, any advice from you will be really appreciated 🙂
Many Thanks for your kindness my friend.😊🙏 As for the Limiter Switches and Flashing Beacon; I haven't gotten that far yet myself 😄 lol "but it's on my list of stuff to do,👍 I've got the Aftermarket Medal Boom Arm's with the limiter switches, and I've had them sitting here since like 2019 or 2020 or something like that "I'm a little bit behind on things"😄 lol Anyways... It's on my list, and I'll try getting to it A.S.A.P. Thanks for your Awesome Compliments, and much appreciation for checking out the video.😊👍
How do you known if you have long or short wheelbase? No one ever says in the videos not even the traxxas official
Well the best way is to measure between the center of the front wheel stud to the center of the rear wheel stud, and that will give you your wheelbase,😊 but the easiest way is to look at your vehicle online "at say Amain hobbies" and see what the wheelbase is in the vehicle description.😂 Trx4 Blazer, Trx4 79 Bronco, and the trx4 sports have a 312mm wheelbase, The Trx4 defender has the longer wheelbase of 324mm, along with the newer style trx4 bronco, and a few others, and then the newer trx4 high trail pickups have a completely different wheelbase,🤔 I'm not sure what it is off the top of my head, but it's in between 312 and 324mm, Thanks Traxxas! 🙄
@@R.C.A.D. I put the shorter arms on my 21 bronco and every thing fit perfect. Either I got lucky or some one messed up on measurements.
@raidersperez1278 The 2021 Bronco has a 324 mm wheelbase, so...... Yeah......🤔 No matter how close it might look, you probably don't have it set up right.😕 "You basically just shortened your wheelbase" there's a fine line between 312mm and 324mm if you put them side by side it's barely noticeable, but there's definitely a difference between the two. Right now when you're suspension is fully extended your tires are probably coming close to the inner edges of the front and rear fenders, and with the 324mm setup it would be closer to the middle of the wheel well vs sitting slightly forward of center in the back and slightly backwards of center in the front,😕 You need to switch it over to the 324mm parts. The 312 setup will work, but it's not right for the wheelbase of your 2021 Bronco.😕
@@R.C.A.D. gawd damn it. I guess I will have to swap Over then. Thank you.
@raidersperez1278 No problem bro. 😊👍
Ah the good old days. Agreed Tamiya parts offering is weird. Seems they only stock the stuff that never breaks. My experience with Kyosho is even worse. To bad I like Kyosho but it seems like they release it and you better order any parts then because 6 months later they are gone. Thanks for sharing, and the throwback
Totally... If they still sell the car's, "then they need to keep an ample amount of spare parts available to the public.😕 Usually those Tamiya Hornet style gear boxes are pretty darn reliable, so I'd imagine under normal Ware and Tare conditions, that those gears would last twenty years plus without having any issues.🤔 And I pushed it too far with the VXL3s, my fault... But still, those gears should still be available for purchase "without having to buy an entire new vehicle" 😕 Nevertheless...😄 I'm crossing my fingers... but my thoughts are "that I'm probably going to break it again, but this time it will probably be the transmission housing, or the main chassis.😂 Lol When I get it back together, we can have the channel subs take bets on what part is going to break next. 😂 Ha ha ha lol
Too many horses👍🫣🤔
Your not kidding 😂 but I think with the right combination of tires,gears, and a longer wheelie bar, that we might be able to settle those horses down, or maybe not... Well see either way 😂 ha ha ha lol
Appreciate your channel. RC show. Your Airplane. was good effort🇺🇸👍👏👏 buddy,,
Can't thank you enough Bro. 😊🙏🤜🤛
Attention all flyers. Drop a comment on this one. He welcomes your constructive criticism. What went wrong here? Clearly the box said. "It's easy" Keep in mind. This Guy can out drive you. Big rig, small rig, 2 wheels or 4 wheels. In the real world he can back a trailer up 100 yards right on top of the acorn that you wanted to cover up, without chasing. The question is Did safe get him to 6 flights or did it make him struggle thru ,3?
Good times
It was fun, but it would be even funnier if I could take off and land too, "I'm glad that I didn't pick a Jet for a first plane.😄 Lol Thanks for checking out the fun Daniel.😁👍
Nicely done Jim. Darn tree jumped right out at you, I saw it. Wish I was closer but none the less Step one complete👍 and kudos to Ian for his commentary & camera work. They are harder to follow then it looks. Glad you guys had a good time. Thanks for sharing guys! Some high quality clear packing tape from the post office is helpful for repairs as well.👍 Sounds silly but drive it up and down the driveway without the wing to practice takeoffs, it really will help judge how twitchy it is on the front wheel.
Thanks Doug.....😁🙏 And I think that I might need to find a different place to fly,🤔 That place was good and roomy, but it's not very forgiving for accidental landings, or accidentally getting too close to the ground.😄 lol I think that I was trying to fly it too slow, and it was pretty much dropping out of the sky,😕 and of course it was my first time flying to, so that may have been the main reason for most of my crashes, or mistakes.😄 Lol Ian's filming; That was a First for him too, "and unlike filming a crawler, the difficulty factor is quite a bit higher trying to film a plane, As you said, "they are very difficult to follow" 😕 especially when zooming in and out, while trying to track something through the sky.🙄 He didn't do too bad.😊 He did a lot better filming than I did flying, that's for sure.😂 Lol Practicing with the plane on the driveway; Now more than ever that's probably going to be needed,😆 "You should see the front wheel on the plane, it's sitting all kinds of sideways.😂 lol I glued the plane all back together "including around the front landing gear attachment point" with all of the landing gear removed,🙄 and when I put the landing gear back on after the glue was dry, I realized that the front wheel was looking a little jacked up.🙄 oops...😕 It will be fine for hand launching, but the landing's might be a little sketchy with that crooked front wheel.😂 Ha ha ha lol It's drivable, but it's going to take a little bit of compensating to keep it straight.😆 Lol Packing tape; Yeah man... I did a little bit of taping on it last night, "just to give it a bit more support"😁👍 Flying a model plane; Surprisingly difficult 😕 I need a plane with a Helicopter propeller on top, so that I can fly it a little bit slower.😂 Lol I was almost starting to panic when the plane started getting out of sight "I was having a tuff time with it's orientation, and trying to get it turned around and facing the right direction again,😕 That was almost a bit scary! And a little bit unnerving, to tell you the truth,🙄😕 Having all these thoughts about my plane going missing in a split second, while trying to get it turned around at the same time, was a bit of a rush! 😵 And that's where having a expert pilot by your side really pays off.😄 Lol I'm going to try flying it again next weekend if the weather is good, hopefully I can do a better job keeping it in the air, "landing is going to be whole other feet in itself,😄 Lol I've gotta get used to flying first, before I can even think about making a controlled landing on a designated strip.😂 Ha... I've got the itch, and I can't wait to go try flying it again.😁👍 And unlike my grandiose thoughts that I had in the beginning, of getting all these different types of planes before I even learned how to fly,🙄 I think that I learned, that I'm probably gonna have to go through a few Aeroscouts, before I can even think about getting something better.😂 Ha ha ha lol Thanks for your kind response towards my first Airplane video, and many more for taking the time to check it out "especially since it's not a crawler video" much appreciated for the support Brother. 😊👍🤜🤛🙏🛩️👉🏆
Well honestly for your first flights I was impressed. You recognized some of your mistakes and attempted to correct them. It's almost impossible to start alone. The 2 main things I noticed is trying to gain altitude without enough air speed and trying to turn with aileron without enough air speed. And no rudder compensation" Airspeed is your friend" lol The thing that sucks is you do not have anyone to trim the plane for you. If it was trimmed and flying level with your hands off the sticks. That would at least give you a fighting chance. Try to takeoff , climb to a comfortable altitude, stay at that height and then try to make wide circle's using rudder rather then ailerons to turn. That being said it really is darn near impossible to get it all correct when it's all new. Tips from others can help but ultimately you have to just experience it for yourself I think your location is good, not ideal but it looks safe. I've taught people using a 3 channel setup with ratcheting throttle. Your setup is fine just try to keep the three channel (concept) in your mind. Your goal is to get to a safe comfortable altitude and stay there (no up and down) and you want to use rudder rather then ailerons to keep your wings level while turning. This method helps a lot to avoid wallowing around the sky and avoiding tip stalls. PS I've seen guys flying for years that cannot hand launch that good lol your getting the hang of that👍 Have fun guys👍
@8bitisthesh1telwell74 Thanks for the Great Advice Doug...😁👍 I just read your message Three times, and I'm gonna have to read it once more "before I go fly the plane again" just to make sure I don't forget anything.😂👍
Wow you have so many RCs! Thumb up.
Me...😄 Ha lol What are you talking about Brother... I've seen your line of car's that go down the hall, you're RC collection has got to be just as big as mine if not bigger, I'm guessing it's bigger though.😄👍 Much appreciated for the awesome compliment Bro. 😁🙏🤜🤛

hey Jim i can believe 3000 on your tf2 it adds up quick will be retiring in 2 years so need to get toys before that
Yeah man.... 3k on everything that I initially purchased for the TF2, They definitely see you coming with the scale accessories and other somewhat useless stuff.😂 If I had to do it all over again today, I could easily build my tf2 for less than 1k,🤔? Or maybe less than $1,200.00 bucks depending on what kind of Transmitter was chosen, but the truck itself can easily be built for less than 1k.😊👍
im a 33 percenter hope that maks you money
😄 ha no worries
Looks pretty cool in the technical stuff!👍
And it looks even cooler on the technical stuff "in person" 😄 Ha ha ha lol It's definitely not a day to day crawler, "but for what it is" it doesn't do too bad around the washed out adventure course, and more importantly, it looks very Cool and Realistic while doing it.😊 Many thanks for checking out the show bro 😁🤜🤛
still dont know how to send you pictures ......got some stuff( fab wise ) you might be interested in
Watch that ricky's garage f m s jeep video, That may give you some ideas,
😦 hmm.. I don't know how to say this, other than to just say it, but I actively try not to watch other people's channels "specifically because I don't want to be influenced by their ideas" I like being original....😁👍 Now that being said... When I was learning about RC Airplane's over the past few months, "I've been doing just the opposite, and watching several other people's channels, But mainly Brian Phillips RC channel, he's kinda like me "as far as how he does his filming" except that he's very knowledgeable about Airplanes.😄 So there you go.... But when it comes to "Terra Firma" There's only a handful of channels that I'll check out from time to time, and those all belong to friends such as yourself.😁👍 But otherwise I actively try not to be influenced by other people's ideas.😕😊
The FMS One twelve scale, It's pretty slick. Has leaf springs 2, speed transmission
I'm checking that one out
Hello, did you grind the top limiter of the main boom too (to increase the movement of the small boom)?
Hmm 🤔? it's been awhile man .. but I think that was the general idea at the time. If I remember correctly, I was trying to get Xtra movement, without completely sacrificing the limiter feature.😕
@@R.C.A.D. thanks! Do you remember what you used to grind the contacter?
@BulletNE100 Ah man....😄 Knowing me I probably just took a little nip off the top of the button with a small pair of wire cutters or "side cutters" lol Like I said, usually I say exactly what I did during the video, 😕 and it's been a while since I've seen the video and done the work, so... You tell me 😄 did I forget to say anything about it in the video ? 😕
Will re-check. I'm also going to replace the lower chassis to get metal tracks. The chassis will be installed on the 1592 I also own
I finally received my 1593, and Huina removed the limiters that you grinded. I'm going to convert it to Hydraulic so I'll disassemble it then
How come not too many people comment on your channel
It's because the majority of my views are still coming from people who are doing Internet searches on specific stuff vs getting views from channel subscribers.😕 Which is another reason why I got this truck vs something different, I was getting this one for me vs getting it for the channel. 😊
Maybe you pushed it too hard
Possibly... But at the same time I haven't been too hard on it. It started making noise on it's first run in the snow,😕 "which is kinda ridiculous really" but now after it's first run in the dirt, it's Really starting to make some noises,😄 I'm going to run it until it breaks, and then I'm going to take it apart and see what it's made of, and then I'll probably put that jeep body on an entirely different chassis "Like a stretched out Ascender, or a Redcat Gen 8.😁👍
That's true but what happened to the loyal fifteen percent, Remember that little talk about those faithful %15
@kevinbreaker2683 Ha ... It's currently the loyal 16.? something.😄 I assume that they moved on to better channels during my past down time.🙄😆
Did pretty well I think
Yeah not too bad all in all, "did pretty darn good for a scale model.😊 In hindsight "and as far as getting views go" I probably should have gotten a Gmade Spyder, or a Redcat Ascent,🤔 But I wasn't concerned about the views with this vehicle, this time I was getting a new RC that I've been wanting for a while, vs getting a new vehicle that the public wants to see.😁 It's certainly not the best crawler by any means, but it definitely looks great on film while it's trying.😄👍 Would I recommend it as someone's next RC ? 🤔 Definitely Not! 😕 There's no way that this thing would hold up to "day to day" use and abuse, It's a Cool looking truck with great overall curb appeal, "that looks awesome on camera" but it's definitely not built for daily driving.😄 Lol I myself on the other hand, am going to treat it like a daily drive, "just to see how long it will last for" and how much long term trail abuse that it can actually handle. 😁😂 Ha ha ha lol In other words "I'm going to find out what it's made of.😁👍
Did pretty well.
Agreed... Especially considering the type of vehicle it is.😄👍
Actually it was good it didn't pop a drive shaft, Or Axel. The little pizza cutter tires
I was surprised too 😄 it's gotta come down to the extra chassis weight from the driver and lead counter weight coupled with those narrow pizza cutter tires, that got it through most of the terrain,😄 Weight and Tire Side Bite for the dirt stuff, and Weight and Flat Tire Contact Patch for the double roller brick hill, 😁 Those tires performed pretty darn good across the board.😊
Yeah, good video. Are you going to make another run with it
@kevinbreaker2683 Oh yeah....😄 I'm sure that I'll be doing all kinds with it, I'll run it until it comes apart, "and then I'll modify it "and make it better. 😁👍 lol
Sounds Great
Tires did well,,🛻
drill a small hole from back of hand and cut a a paper clip down and put through hole much better tan glue an can remove if needed
I ended up using some clear Shoe Goop 😁 and it's darn near invisible, you can't even tell that it's there.😊 But many thanks for your awesome suggestion brother, And many more for checking out show.😊🤜🤛
thats what im talking about...im a scale builder all the way in the 1to1 you seat up pretty high it looks great to me
😊❤️🙏 Thanks man... And I seen a real one a few days ago, and your exactly right, you do sit up pretty high in it.😁
Love it!👍
Thanks man...😊👍 It's not the best, but it's definitely better than no driver figure at all.😄 Lol And the more I look at it the better I feel about it,😕 I'm looking at the Jeep right now, and it actually doesn't look half bad,😊 maybe I did do a halfway decent job after all "for a Half Assed driver install" 😂 ha ha ha lol "get it... Half Assed... Because I had to shave off half of his butt to make him fit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMAO Half Assed install...😁 Lol I should have titled the video like that, "Roc Hobby 1:6 MB Scaler Half Assed driver install" 😆 both true and funny at the same time...😁
Looks great man good work!
Many thanks man...😁🙏 It's far from perfect, but not too bad considering what I was working with, it was like trying to squeeze Andre the Giant into a old Manx Dune buggy, and making it look natural.😂 Tuff fit...🙄
@@R.C.A.D. There's no way I would have done all that work, with my patience I would have just been pissed off and drove it without the driver but lol you did a killer job making him not just fit but probably the most natural looking driver figure in one of these I have ever seen.
@creekcreeperrc7972 😄 Ha ha ha lol.. I'm not exactly known for my patience either, So I can relate with you there, but I was on a mission with this one, and was bound and determined to make that figure fit, "just like those special kids that we all knew in preschool" I was determined to get that square peg to fit into that round hole.😂 Ha ha ha lol Can't thank you enough for your seal of approval my friend, I certainly appreciate it... 😊❤️🙏🤜🤛
