So far for what I do, durability hasn't been an issue after I greased the diffs F/R, locked them together, changed the shock oil, just basic maintenance. As far as gearing, are you running the stock tires?
@@RCrepairAndBuilds I want to make it more durable for bashing, and currently I’m running stock tires but I have some belted street tires from amazon coming soon
@@Sirrmike I don't do much bashing, at all. I don't want to give you bad information, I know they offer upgraded aluminum control arms, shock towers etc etc, basically the entire chassis itself. I run a GoolRc 150 amp ESC in my 1 thunder, it went 65 mph with the stock motor and gears 17/65, running these tires and a ToRCone 4s 100c battery.

@@RCrepairAndBuilds thank you
@@Sirrmike you're welcome, I will help any way I can, especially with the Thunder, I'm very familiar with them, I have been 12 so far for myself, my daughter, a couple of subscribers and other friends. Straight line performance I can definitely help you out, gearing, motors, esc etc etc, I actually modified a Traxxas slipper clutch because the stock LAEGENDARY unit blew out out 73 mph, it couldn't hold the power bit these modified slippers we basically built have worked great, so far. Check out DerbyCityRC,I think he has an older video where he upgraded a Thunder truck and that guy bashes like Kevin Talbot 😉 Thanks for stopping by, don't hesitate to ask,I'll help any way I can 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, those would help me out 😂😂
Amen brother! Dude, obviously has never tried one out before. I'm with you. It's more fun to buy budget and upgrade them then to drop my house payment on some overblown Traxxas.
Awesome man! A 19t would be excellent! Exciting stuff. I am not sure about the speeds… are they bigger or smaller in diameter?
Tires are 118mm tall, 71mm wide. The LAEGENDARY tires measure 117mm tall, 60 mm wide.
Nice real nice
@@RCrepairAndBuilds Hmmm, hard to say. I guess they could balloon more than he belted ones which might make it faster but mine seems to be pretty much maxed out in the low 60s. I am going with 61 as I can't having you besting my 0.2 mph I have on you. 😆 Do you have a link to your video where you hit 62 mph? I am curious how yours looks at those speeds with the tires you ran (I wish I had a wider road most of the time!).
I do, we are gonna try and edit alot of footage this week starting Wednesday as I'm only working today -Wed. I have alot of great footage of the Thunder as well I got to edit
Going to put the street tires back on it. Order a Z pack and send it I can't believe you got that speed with those paddle tires on. great speed test video thank you thank you
@@Brad-bb2io I believe 45-47 mph is possible just like it sits with the right tires. Oiling the diffs and locking them made a huge difference,it just squats and goes now, little rocket 🚀
Man , I just put some Lucas oil stabilizer in stock granite shocks and it’s way better for higher jumps on frost impression . Not way better but noticeably less chassis slap and bounce . It’s probably too thick but it seems to work good . 60wt wasn’t cutting it and Lucas oil is all I had that was thicker 😂
When I put those paddles on with 3S I noticed a huge difference in the speed. Other tires are much faster thanks again for doing everything, buddy.
@@Brad-bb2io absolutely, you're welcome. I'll send you another email this evening. Hopefully the gopro picked up the sound decently, thise tires are LOUD on pavement. She's a little screamer now, Ready to go.
This is for a subscriber of my channel, replaced the rear diff, filled the front and rear diff with 500k Losi gear oil and locked them using silicone ear plugs. It equalized the power output alot!
I appreciate the honesty man
@@Brad-bb2io it's the only way I know how to be bud. Honesty and Character are the key to being respected and to carry a Good name.
That is unreal how dry those spider gears were! You're the first one I've heard that locks the diffs with the earplugs.
@@Brad-bb2io check out youtube.com/@kevintalbottv?si=tQIM3VlO0fJqZy43 That's who I learned it from, works great
I'm just going back looking at some older content. This thing is a rocket! Totally jealous about the place. You have to run these things. Very nice.
That little thing has got some pep! I know you don't usually mess with things below 1/10 scale, but if there had to be an exception, it would be this! That thing can scoot!
@@Brad-bb2io absolutely
Is there a steel spur gear upgrade available for these? Just got mine today 💪🏼
@@cwatson42785 yes, Amazon has them
@@RCrepairAndBuilds Yup I found them. Thanks for the reply buddy. Just got mine today. Awesome deal!
@@cwatson42785 you're welcome
Try Traxxas short course tires and set the front wheels straight. No camber or tow
@@mr.magick4185 got a set on the shelf. Gonna try them with complete zero on both camber/tow and go from there. Thanks for stopping by
That is a sweet straightaway to do speed runs on! 65 MPH, you could take that out on the highway for a cruise
@@Brad-bb2io yes its a nice place to make runs when this heat isn't 112 lol
@@RCrepairAndBuilds right
Good stuff, man! That kid is going to be so excited. Plus you're growing the hobby that's huge.
@@Brad-bb2io he was very excited and appreciative, that's most important! This is a great hobby and it gets these kids away from a smartphone, PC or game console all day!
@@RCrepairAndBuilds absolutely man. You never know a young man starting out working on RC cars could take that set years down the road and become a mechanic or an engineer. Who knows you should be happy with the influence you're having on these young people never know what it's going to, turn out to be for them
I know I messed a few of your videos, but are you still running the stock plastic spur gear in the thunder truck.
@@jeromepenick2060 in my modified truck,no, it's the metal spur gear now, since I had to modify the Traxxas slipper assemblies to fit, I did all the work at one time but my daughter is still running her original plastic spur gear, she beats the crap out of that truck and it has gone 63 mph so far!
Yeah, that little 1/16 is a mess to handle sometimes. Feel like I've never really gotten all I could out of it just because of the handling still cool to see my little truck on your channel. Thanks for including it. Have a good evening, buddy.
@@Brad-bb2io I've got your truck fixed, it handles so much better and I adjusted the spring in the steering wheel on the RC. Speed test tmrw for it!
@@RCrepairAndBuilds Buddy I can't wait to see it
I love the body on that Thunder.
@@Brad-bb2io it was just a random rattle can paint job and some old decals we had, the neighbors kid loves it tho and he has been out there all day lol, literally! I told him to let it cool off about 20 mins between packs, it was 112 heat index here today.
@@RCrepairAndBuilds you made the kids day man! Who knows he might be the one to create the next generation budget RC car! Wouldn't that be something?
The thunder is a good size .
@@Hungrybird474 it really is, for me, it's perfect
Nice!
That truck is fast like a "bat outta hell". I seen video of a guy racing a Traxxas XRT 12 S and ripped apart two tires within 100 yards. Hope the belted tires help that guy. I recommended for fast cheap fix shoe goo and drywall tape. I have never seen a Laegendary truck so fast. I have searched to buy this truck thru google and cannot find it. LINK? cool video. Happy trails. ty
@@dub2536 this is through Amazon, if you can't get it that way let me know, I'll get you a link directly through LAEGENDARY. If you're in no hurry, I would wait until July 16th-18th, it will be on sale for $97, plus shipping. Thanks for watching and the support!

Man, I need a personal mechanic!!!
@@BriansRCStuff I'll help you guys any way I can, I have 7 that have been sent to me so far, I'll find the time somewhere ,hopefully lol. I need a personal financial backer 😉
