Dude that is absolutely absurd!! $110 is cheap as hell for a 1/10 scale by itself, let alone the fact that it comes with all that stuff! It even comes with a freaking fire bag? Insane! I will no doubt be getting one! Where can I buy one??
@@MikeGray-ct6hb and a Hobbywing ESC!😁 Link in the video description!
@@BriansRCStuff haha I was so excited about it I wrote that comment before u even got to the part about the 10bl60 lol that's crazy! How are they even making money on that thing with everything it comes with lol. It's bigger than my stampede and my slash, for $110 I was expecting a 1/12 scale at best. I'm definitely getting one!
My wife and I have a couple of the Laegendary Thunder truggy style. They are super nice for the price! Thanks for everything you show bc I also have a 2997a. Just no mods yet. Looking to get a Big Rock or a Rival MT10. Which one would you say for me to get? Thanks again!
Love the legendary thunder! I've got two of them. Just put some 15 mm hex extenders on one and actually have Britt hooking my other one up with the new ESC some banded tires and some adjustments on my slipper clutch and front and rear diff cannot wait to get it back from him, Brian and Britt have gotten me back into this hobby full force. Everybody please share these guys channel with anybody you know Brian Britt , or both awesome guys with a ton of information and you're willing to take the time to help people out not easy to find people like that these days! Keep up the great work Brian love your channel
Thanks so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it. How did the 15mm extenders effect the handling? You happy with them? I have a set I was going to possibly run on here.... I haven't decided yet. Wow, sounds like you have a great setup coming your way! That is awesome he is working with you. Great guy!. Thanks again!
Laegendary trucks are made by Hosim. Great quality. That controller is made by dumbo RC . These are great trucks
Wow, I had no idea the transmitter is made my Dumbo RC. Have you ever use this transmitter? I hear the range is really limited which is a very unDumboRC like thing lol. Does Hosim have a twin of this truck?
Britt is a good dude no doubt, and so are you!! I love my thunder, it's a blast! Enjoy it!
Thanks for checking out my first look at it! It looks like there is a really great Laegendary community. I had no idea there were so many fans of this truck until recently. Good stuff! Any tips for starting out? Thanks!

@@BriansRCStuff TY!
Glad you finally got it! You're welcome my friend, now go break some speed records with it 👊 My "mid grade" Thunder has went 65.2 mph on 4s, video is on my list,stock everything other than the ESC and DumboRc,19t pinion Thanks for the shout out !
What the hell is this, where is my free truck? I'm filing a complaint with the HR department! Hahahahaha that's awesome dude you sent him that, he is now a Thunder member! Lol your the man Britt!! (The free truck comment was a joke by the way hehe)
Thanks so much man! I wish I had time tonight to take it out. Worst case I will have to wait for the weekend but I can at least get it ready to go! 65.2 is moving pretty good! Now we just need to get you a Jetwood!
Bring a wheel wrench because the wheels always come loose every 10 mins.. well mine do anyway 😂
Great tip! Have you tried thread locker? Based on your comment, I am going to use some thread locker before I run it the first time.
@@BriansRCStuff I did try the blue tread Locker, but the right rear tire seems to come loose every time on me , and if it comes loose even just a little it strips the wheel hex out, then it just keeps getting worse from there regardless how tight it is ..I think the plastic the wheel is made from is too soft imo. I was getting so paranoid from it I was resnugging them every lap around my yard 😂😂. Be careful out there!✌
I'm sure youll use a different wheel tho, so it might work out better for you. Lol I just think the stock wheels are too soft to handle the torque
well, if I have that same problem I can't see me running them for long! I am sorry you have the issue... hopefully it isn't normal as that would be really frustrating for sure. Have you bent any CVD's or dogbones yet?
I think I am going to turn the punch all the way down before I even run it. I normally like to mash the throttle and go hard on my of my trucks.... but I am going to try to take it easy on this one as I don't want to break stuff! It is crazy how much torque a little brushless motor makes.
Speed truck the hell out of it!😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂 I am going to send it!!!!
Great job brother
Thanks!
Thank you for doing this Brian, much appreciated. Some of these meters can seem complicated if you dont get how they work, much easier & quite simple once you see a good tutorial. Once again thanks for taking the time to do this.
It was a good idea and I know you’re not the only one that wanted something like this. 😎 Honestly, I wasn’t sure how to set it up as I hadn’t done it in almost 2 years… And I fumbled through it when I just got this new one. I had to do it a few times to make sure I could make a video. 😂 I will probably refer back to it at a future date when I forget again!
How much does one of them go for anyway?? I've been using the same Dynamite GPS for a few years now but with all the 100+mph wrecks and getting wet from using it in my boats it's bound to give up the ghost any time now lol
$30 Link in the video description. That sounds like the dynamite one is pretty good?
@@BriansRCStuff yea it's definitely pretty durable considering what it's been thru and it does all kinds of different stuff but the battery is getting pretty weak on it and I don't use any of the other fancy stuff it does Granted it is about 4 years old, but they r like $115 so was hoping not to have to pay that much for another one. Thx fir the heads up!
Great info !!
Good stuff buddy really good stuff! I've been thinking of picking one of those up but was a little wary if I'd be able to get it set up right? Thanks for the video. I'll be getting one now.
The first car has weak servo saver when its on your servo is locked strait but you can push it left& rt easy cause its ment to save the servo in the event of hitting curb or rocks walls anything that nomaly would break a servo gears the second car idk didnt look like it has servo saver
@@mikehaberski4596 thanks! So did it look unusually weak to you?
Did you make any changes to the gear box .. I have the same rader, but I dont know were to start.😢I am interested in the gears for purchase.
I am currently running a stock gearbox other than the smaller idle gear that i got 3d printed. I have a TON of videos on Raider including the mods I have done over the years (including a custom ball differential that I only run off road). What are you goals/how fast do you want it? Honestly 40-45 mph would be a great top speed. Faster things get dicey as the car is so light and of course the faster you go the worse things can get if you crash. I would not get a 3650 brushless motor for it and I would get an F540 (inside it only has a 28mm rotor and not a 36mm sized so it has a lot less torque but still way more than a brushed 540 motor). I would also get an ESC that lets you turn the punch down and set it to the lowest setting possible (to protect the weak gearbox in the Raider). Even with mine set at the lowest setting with my cheap Surpass Hobby ESC, it accelerates nicely! I am happy to help but you probably want to check out my Raider playlist as there is tons of info on the car up there.

what heat sink is that on the motor?
Sorry, I do not have the truck anymore and I cannot remember. : (
I did some searching and it looks like it was a Trinity unit.
Very impressive over stock! Those wheels definitely look like they grip better the more they heat up, like you said 👍
Thank you!
Bingo! Looks like it's just worn out or broken off a few teeth right where it sits neutral. You'll get it going straight 👍
Glad that you found the problem !
o/ that's defo not normal to have no resistance while the servo has power to it. it may have some internal stripping on the gears or possibly some stripping on the servo arm. There's not a lot of room in there, but with some modification you could put a mini servo in there turned 90 degrees so the servo arm faces the right toward the side of the car. Or, similar to what i did with the 14201, get a massive servo and fabricate a servo mount/chop up the body a lil. Either way, when the servo has power to it, any servo over say 20kg should not be easily moved, so check the gears inside of it for stripping and wear/tear.
Thanks for the information! I appreciate it!
With the servo powered on, the only movement you are getting when manually moving the wheels left and right is the servo saver unloading, which is doing its job, protecting the servo gears against damage,and the servo itself remains in its set position. There is no gear noise because the movement is from the saver.When powered off, the servo is free to move unpowered and so the saver doesn't come into play. Either replace the servo,which is probably glitching due to its age,or try removing the saver or locking it with a tie wrap to stop it possibly unloading under load. I would say the servo is faulty, but there are plenty of options, Surpass make some nice metal gear servos in smaller sizes (I use one in my Mantis EP) . Considering what you have invested in motors,ESC,RX and tyres the cost of a servo is next to nothing......
Thank you I just checked and yes, it is the servo saver that is moving when I force the steering with the car on (the screw holding the servo savor on is not moving). It is normal for the servo saver to unload that easily? I have no feel for what is normal but it seems really loose to me.
Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it! I will try a servo.... might as well at this point. I am not sure it will fix it but at the end of the day it will be an improvement and help me figure out what may be wrong with it (if not the servo).
Also the servo is supposed to hold its position when on, but there’s nothing trying to hold position when it’s off so it makes sense that the servo saver is slipping only when the car is on Doesn’t look like there even is a servo saver on your ultima
I think I see what you are saying. I should turn it on and then try to manually move it again but see if the screw holding the servo saver in place is moving or if something is broken with it. Lol, I never noticed that until now but I think you are right about the Ultima. My dad bought it second hand from a hobby store - it was raced and I guess they didn't keep a servo saver in there.
I just checked and yes, it is the servo saver that is moving when I force the steering with the car on (the screw holding the servo savor on is not moving). It is normal for the servo saver to be moved out of its position when on? I have no feel for what is normal but it seems really loose to me/like it should "grip" harder than that to keep the steering set where it is supposed to be? IDK.
Is the servo saver worn out? Are you able to tell if the screw going into the spline on the servo is actually turning when you manually move the wheels one way or the other? If the screw is turning then your servo is hosed, if not it’s prolly just the servo saver…
Thanks! I will double check tomorrow. I think the servo saver is okay but I will have to confirm.
Yes, I checked and the screw going into the servo is not turning. So it looks like it is moving too easily to you suggesting that that servo saver is bad?
I had a similar issue a while back with my SCT. Traced it down to a hub bearing that was intermittently locking up causing the truck to turn sharply for no reason. I initially thought I had a steering issue. Just a thought....
Hey, thanks for the input! Check out this video I just posted - I think I found the problem! ua-cam.com/video/xXZmbS-q2kM/v-deo.html
Now I just need to find a tiny servo that is the right size for this thing that is cheap! I guess what I am looking for is a low profile servo?
Maybe something like this one on Amazon? a.co/d/ftYQIQR or this a.co/d/68U4tva I guess they would be at least as good as what I have now (when it was working)? It looks like my current one only has about 1.8 kg/cm and this one would have several times as much and a similar speed.
Hard to tell from the video, but is it just your servo saver that is the cause of the movement? My cheaper servos do the same thing when not powered up. Are you running toe out? If so...maybe at those speeds the servo saver isn't strong enough to overcome the forces on the front tires. Curious to see what you find out. 😊
@@arkyrc I will have to double check in the morning. Thanks for the help! I have almost 0 toe in/toe out but I have tried it with toe out and toe in. I will keep you posted. Thanks!
Mine just uses a stock sized zero
Prob an issue with the way the old steering is, I’m no experts on those cars so take wat I say with. Grain of salt lol. Also true that they prob weren’t made to go that fast and with new electronics lmao. Crazy for sum like that though
100% not meant to go this fast! That being said, the thing actually handled really good up to about 50 mph before I was having these problems. It really surprised me. I think I will get this sorted out soon as there isn't much left that it could be (I hope!).
Have you locked the diff??
@@paulwills3774 no, the diff is just the stock unit. I haven’t touched this diff.😎
Servo saver gone weak??
Good suggestion. I will have to double check it but it is fairly new and it is the only thing in the steering setup that isn't trash (the stock design is probably the worst part of the car)!
Dude, don’t hate me for saying this - I’m worried about that diff situation - did you put the original back in or are you still running that custom job in there? What if one of the outputs is binding up, say the right side output since it’s always turning right and all the power is at the left wheel - it could maybe yank the front of the car right even though the front wheels are “turning” Shit idk man you got a real mystery here!
@@wadeskelton7585 I think you’re absolutely right and hopefully that is what’s wrong because that would be easy fix! The problems did crop up when I lowered the car and when it was lowered it reduced the space for the dog bones… Then when the suspension compresses a good amount, there’s nowhere for them to go… all of the free space is taken up. May be a little thick for not putting it at the top of my list earlier on… But I don’t claim to be the sharpest tool in the shed. I am running a stock differential in there. Modified differential works great offer, but caused issues for speed runs as the backend would like to step out more easily.
If you had a GoPro you could see what the front end is doing while you’re driving at least you could rule out a crazy servo or weird steering/suspension issue
@@wadeskelton7585 my son has one, but he can’t seem to find it… I would like to try that, however.
You can do it brother. Great run 70 or bust bud hahah.
Hopefully not too many busts before I hit 70 lol!
Great video Brian. Glad to see that raider back out. What servo saver you using. Yonwith strait bar might help. Servi savers can't handle the torque is my guess.. thanks for sharing bud. Cnhl and winter Evening for the win
I am using a Futaba servo saver. It is made of of nylon or some other strong plastic. yeah, the steering setup in these is trash. The engineer that came up with the design should have to fall on his sword!! CNHL and Winter Evening!
My 2 cents: It's the design of the steering. I saw a mod for a similar older car (Tamiya I think) and it has that bar design.. but the bars are too thin, so the flex of the bars causes the car to wander like that. The guy put bigger arms in there and it solved the issue.. hope that helps! * I think IowaBudgetRCbashers has the right answer in your comments.. analog servo no good with modern stuff. Try swapping for a digital unit
You are absolutely correct about the horrible steering design. It is probably the worst thing about the car. That being said, once I had it dialed in last year, it handled surprisingly well up to about 50 mph. Much past that, it is so light it is scary.... but I was shocked how well it did at lower speeds (for what it is). I am going to try the dogbones, then servo... one of those will probably fix it but I will probably look into a better steering solution long term as it is a bad design! That for the ideas! You have a cheap servo that you recommend?
@@BriansRCStuff If it's a standard 1/10 scale servo, the red 20kg units on Amazon are pretty good. The unit that pops up is pretty popular, comes with the metal arm, and it's a generic brand, but only about $13. I haven't had any issues with mine and I'm running a solid arm with no saver 👍
@@scaleworksRC Thanks! I will have to see if it can (I have an extra servo but I think it is the 25kg version of that and it was too big to fit). I guess I need a compact servo.... IDK, it has been 30 years since I bought a servo lol (someone sent me the 25kg one I have).
@@BriansRCStuff Hmm, well you could always measure the dimensions and go from there. I've never resto-modded an RC, but I think it's possible with this one. Just getting up to speed, that short wheelbase is working against you as well 👍
I had one that I had to turn the receiver around but it had a gyro
@@PtsdRC did you turn at 90 or 180°? Thanks!
Can you turn down the dual rate? Make it turn alot slower?
@@PtsdRC yes, that is a good idea, but when I tried in the video. Pretty frustrating.. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@BriansRCStuff yea I typed it before I finished watching the video. If it doesn't have a gyro it would just about have to be the servo
Thanks man, I appreciate the insight!
As far as the steering goes if it’s an old analog servo they sometimes don’t play well with modern digital electronics
@@IowaBudgetRCBashers it’s worth a shot. The only reason I don’t think that is the problem is because when I tested it with the rear tires off the ground, the steering was working perfect as I was hitting the throttle… But if my idea with the dog bones being too big doesn’t work… That’s the next thing I try
That's probably it!
@@BriansRCStuff I’ve had this issue many times restoring these old RC’s .. something with the analog servo and the digital signal definitely worth a shot
@@scaleworksRC do you think the dog bones or the servo?
@@BriansRCStuff I think it might be the servo if it's an analog type
Nice shirt, I’m a pbr man if I have a beer, which isn’t very often.. this thing rips, especially for something that’s only supposed to do 17-20mph
@@IowaBudgetRCBashers PBR… An American classic! I’ll have one on occasion that my favorite but certainly cheap, most places!
awesome car,fast 👌 i had a subaru tt02 and it would not go in straight line,upgraded servo and links but still squirrely as hell,hope you fix yours dude 🤞🤞👍👍😀
@@rcplaytime thank you! The crazy thing about this car is that it used to actually track really well I’ll get it sorted out sooner or later… Hopefully sooner! Sorry, your TT 02 is not going very straight!

Will my motor connecters 3.5mm 2845 4400kv surpass hobby motor also fit a 60a esc or should i change them ? Yours sincereley Aaron from speedslides and speedrides
Hi Aaron! Most ESC's come with 4mm bullets so you will probably need to change them. if you are going to change them, you may want to go a little bigger than 4mm (unless they are incorporated into the ESC itself. I use 6.5 which is kind of too big for a 60A unit but I use the bigger stuff as my 100+ mph Bandit draws a lot of amps and it is nice having less resistance with the bigger bullets (though at lower amp loads it doesn't make much difference. Just check the ESC and see if it lists the size bullets it comes with.
@@BriansRCStuff thanks man ! Than i think iam going to order the 3.5mm to 4mm plugs conversions adapters. The motor did fit in the 60a hobbywing max 10 off my traxxas and worked very good on 3s.
Love this car!! A few things you might want to try... Increase the toe-out on the front wheels (pay attention to the steering assmebly and the front suspension tho because toe adjustment adds a decent amount of stress to everything from the inner wheel/tire to the steering link). Space the rear wheels (watch out for burst wheelies by softening your throttle input and 'easing' into full throttle). Soften the rear springs and stiffen the front springs to limit traction bias. As soon as one wheel gains a lil more traction than the other it's gonna pull hard in that direction. The wheelbase is short and the chassis is narrow, and dBoots are v. heavy so keep that mind for sure. Hope this helps and hope you find a solution!!
@@xeNVMex I really appreciate the ideas. They are good ones. I did try messing with the toe in and toe out in a previous video. Unfortunately, it didn’t do anything but again I appreciate you taking the time to great ideas. I have also played around with the stiffness of the suspension, but I can play with that a little more. It’s crazy… The car used to track really good up to about 50 miles an hour, but when I did a bunch of tweaks to it, including, lowering the suspension, that’s when these issues cropped up… So if the dog bones don’t fix it, I should also try putting the suspension back to the original height.
I'd have the front end apart and check it over, play with the toe in a little and replace the steering servo-they are cheap and you don't really need a high speed servo or anything fancy given the surface you are running on. Good luck.
@@seavee2000 thank you for the ideas! I did play with the toe in and out in a previous video and unfortunately it didn’t help but very good ideas! Thank you! I serve a replacement will be what I do next after trying the right sized dog bones and returning it to the stock ride height
Great advice bro!
@@BriansRCStuff it may be worth trying a radio swap as well after you swap servos.
Wow 69 mph !! That's unbelievable ! I like the shell on that truck i wonder if it will fit on the Haiboxing 16890A ?
Thanks man! Yeah, it looks pretty good but it is way too big to fit on the 16th scale HBX trucks (it is 1/12th scale).
@BriansRCStuff darn just my luck !
Great video buddy! One heck of a speed run. I hate that you suffered damage. But if you want to go for speed records, I guess you've got to break a few eggs!
Thank you! The worst part was there didn't need to be any damage on that run! On 4s the brakes are just STUPID strong and even with moderate brake applications it does a front flip HARD into the pavement. I turned them down as low as iI can for next run 50% so hopefully that doesn't happen again! On my 2WD Bandit running really tall gearing, I need every bit of braking I can get so that is why they were set so high. Oh well...
Congratulations brother! I told you that you would beat my 65.8 mph, you shattered it! That truck was screaming, we're so close to 70mph! Stay up, feel better my friend!!
Thank you! I am not sure it went as fast as the GPS read so I am not putting too much stock into that speed yet. I think it was at least 64 mph but I am having a hard time believing it hit 68.7 / it went that much faster than it did on 3s. The good thing is with the brakes turned down and as it seemed to run pretty straight, I think I can get another solid run in again and find out pretty quickly if that speed was accurate.
Nice to see you got a Dumborc remote. Long range. Just get use to the steering rate when speed running. If you get serious into speed running get the Radiolink remote "budget friendly"
@@mydadsrcchannel934 it isn’t the steering rate in this car that is the problem. I just recorded a video this past weekend that I haven’t had a chance to edit showing the issue and more detail. I think the issue might actually be my dog bones are slightly too long and when the suspension is compressing, it’s causing weird handling issues when they cause friction as they push into the carriers. I would love a radiolink remote.😎
Those hex wheel connectors have always been frustrating. You can take a punch and hammer around the hole to make them "usable" again, but it's not ideal. I like your solution better. Looking forward to more Raider speed runs!
@@arkyrc thank you. Never heard the punch hammer fix but that is interesting! Good to know.
Awesome! More raider content, I need to get mine out with the 2s lipo in it
@@paulwills3774 thanks man, I have a run video where i am editing tonight where it hit 50mph on 2s despite severe issues with stability (I think I may know what is wrong with it…. I have 1 last idea!).
@@BriansRCStuff could be needing some toe out up front
@@paulwills3774 thanks for the suggestion. I tried that in a previous video and it seems to be something else but thanks again!
Yes Chinese companies like gens ace, Hota and sky RC make the best highest quality lipo batteries and chargers products made in china baby
@@jalee6587 ever try SMC LIPOs? They are outstanding. 👍
Good info !!
Gens ace is a chinese company, china makes the best you can buy.
@@jalee6587 I wouldn’t say just because it is a Chinese company it is a good charger as China makes a lot of junk but I am not saying I think you are wrong either. 😎
Gyro bro 🎉
I have one in it now.
@@BriansRCStuff what's it like now
Still a handful lol but possibly a little better. My last video with the truck had it running a gyro.
