Thank you, I think the Lunchbox stuff is where I’m happiest. Thanks for taking the time to comment it’s much appreciated 👍

It’s almost like a way to get you to replace all your working fridges with modern breakable ones. 🤔😂👍

I do keep thinking of the metal chassis, I’m really tempted with one, and it would make it bomb proof! Metallic blue is a great colour, is it the TS one? 🤔👍

The metal chassis has all of the upgrades available for an absolutely bomb proof rc, well worth it if you have the funds to purchase all of them, which sadly I don’t have! 🤓

Yes I think it would be cheaper to put a Lunchbox shell on a Terminator 😂👍

Ha, Ha, Ha! Yes do that! 🤓

It’s was a great surprise and helps get the new look with saving the old shell 👍

Glad you stuck it out to the end, I hope this one will not fall over as much! 🤣😂👍

We do have a couple of the lexan ones but as you say the detail is a bit vague, definitely more like a jelly mould 🤣😂👍

I will definitely pass that on to the Chief Engineer, I know it does have lots of front end landings when hitting jumps, I’ll see what he says 👍

It would be able to hide in confetti at any UK or US rally. You have the chrome Pumpkin I think, I bet your heart is in your mouth when that takes a tumble 👍

They are proper work horses. The yellow one we have is held together by goodwill only at this point, but it still powers on. Lunchboxes have a lot to give 🤔👍

I like that idea, maybe put a fish tank and a trouser press in the back also 🤣😂👍

I did think of weighting it but I think you need to know when to stop, and start again 😂👍

Yes I do like it much more. We are away filming this weekend, and are planning a tour with the MF01X so I’m sure I can get that out with a bit of info on the chassis 🤔👍

@@RCsoandso I'm just wondering what unforeseen obstacles would manifest trying to make that little bugger go fast..🤔

I will say they have a very low chassis and the beetle shell sits low also, so try and find somewhere vey flat and free of debris 👍

@@RCsoandso I was asking because I'm not sure you're aware.. the right nutters over at Poorboys are doing a speed run challenge with this chassis😁

I have seen that they are planning that, I do have to say though our Rally Beetle Tour Guide is more for comfort than speed….. The Jimny we have though, well that’s a different story 🤫😂👍

Neigh!

@@RCsoandso yep.

Exactly, this is why I much prefer them to polycarbonate 👍

Yes I thought it would be a good idea so it doesn’t look battered from day 1, as it’s already got a couple of scars! 😂👍

I’m glad I did the camouflage as it hides a lot of sins including future issues, and we had the ramp, so what the hell. I would say replacing bits with aluminium is fine, but when you get to the world of widening the chassis and so on, I think you need to look at a different model really. Some top tip videos just use it for an excuse to like in bits you don’t need, and over complicate them, but that’s a rant for another time 👍

He has a very busy career, and I think he was on the road with him 👍 the guy in the middle is the dad of the bloke from the 1975 also, for any pop fans out there

All good things…

Sometimes I wonder if we did something right or wrong when we don’t have outtakes 🤔😂👍

In fairness this one is quite Bob on, I do have cars like that, and I feel I am forever messing around with the tracking on the controller even though the steering is straight 🤷‍♂️🙄👍

Don’t Panic!

That’s a good question, I would say the Beetle has to have a fair chance at that prize 🤔👍

That’s the beauty with these hard bodies, so much easier to give a fresh new look too 👍

Not on this channel!

He did a good job capturing it all without me stomping around like Kubrick in the background 🤣😂👍

@@RCsoandso lol

If it was still green they may have thought it was mint sauce 👍

It looks good 👍

Well it gave him a break from family, no joke being huddled together under canvas for a few days 🤣😂👍

Just from a local garden centre, used some of it on the Sand Scorcher also 👍

It does run well and it is a favourite here👍

Yes thought I’d get a video out, so stand down we’re not quite at the weekend yet! Have you seen those pictures showing weather 20 years ago and it’s the exact same temperature but these days they colour it in warning red 🙄 The GT Tuned is a bit of a wet squib really, but it’s good to try all the motors in case we’re missing a gem. I don’t know why they don’t just plug the hole with a Trump style toupee 💇

@@RCsoandso Trump style toupee lol.... Probably asking for more holes there mate..... but caused from lefty snipers shooting at it rather than cfc's from tins of hairspray!! 😂 As for the climate, these so called scientists need to look at the larger picture..... There is no such thing as 'normal' climate..... It has constantly fluctuated in all directions since the beginning of time. 🤷‍♂️ All I know is that this year is the first ever summer that I have had to wear a hoody to work in June! 🙄 👍 👍 👍

I’ve only had 2 bbqs this year!

Well that’s the same shell, just given a lick of paint and now it’s ready for the next few thousand miles 🤣😂👍

@@RCsoandso Ooohhhhh, great job painting then. For some reason I thought those were 2 different bodys! I really need a Blitzer. I want a Stadium Blitzer...so hard to find one now.

Yes some models are like hens teeth, makes you think though there is a model shop somewhere stocked full of all these hard to find models. It’s just finding it 🤣😂👍

That sounds like an awesome arsenal of Tamiyas! We will have to try and get another Clod one day, as it’s a hell of a machine 👍

@@RCsoandso I also have an original Blackfoot with original sees aluminum wheels 🛞. 2016 Blackfoot black edition Midnight pumpkin 🎃 and black edition Lunchbox. Also I have been looking for an original Bullhead if you could help find one. I have been building these trucks for my physical therapy for all my physical surgeries and for my PTSD.

@@RCsoandso also my big challenge still awaits before I die 1/14 scale Tamiya Tractor Trailer. Globeliner and tanker. If I can get one in time.

I’ll keep my eye out for a Bullhead, you do see them on Facebook groups up for sale from time to time. I’d love a tractor but again they are as rare as hens teeth🤣😂👍

Imagine sitting in a sardine tin, on a deck chair, peered by a lawnmower engine, you get the idea 😂👍

That’s one to have a think about, I’m sure we can think of a few 👍

You should 100% free it from the box and get it out in the wild, they are great fun to drive and can take on most things 👍

@@RCsoandso I will should I put some better shocks in it and run on a brushed torque tuned motor then on 2s

I think Torque Tuned is a great motor, it’s perfect for models like Lunchboxes as it can shift these larger cars around. You can get some great aftermarket shocks now that do a great job, I like to also use a really stiff oil with mine 🤔👍

@@RCsoandso thanks I’ve got the black lunchbox to build as well think torque tuned is the way to go that’s what I put in my Clod works great 👍🏼 😊

👍

The kit is more a pimped up TT02 chassis, with a few extras. The review is always FOC 🤣😂😂

Splendid, glad you enjoyed, the machine keeps rolling on, and we have lots left in the tank 🤔😂👍

We have a few Beetles now, I think they are really Versatile for the RC world 👍

Wow now that’s a good question, I’m sure we will both have different answers, but I’m sure we can answer that!

I did think it would rain at any moment, but seemed to stay dry, I think it does need some work and hop-ups then it could be quite a mean machine 🤔🤣😂👍

@@RCsoandso I changed the rear of my Blackfoot to a double wishone suspension systen (Ampro). My drive shafts fell out after a few seconds. And reinforced the chassis and gearbox. Also a MIP ball diff. Now it runs perfect. But it also trippöed the price of the kit😒

That’s a great point you raise. It’s like my main Lunchbox, the hop-ups were as expensive as the kit, added to this extras and replacement parts and paint, it’s a dear hobby😳

I would be pretty confident in comparison what I have . Build a hot wheels slash cat ontop a cw01 original lunchbox. Material is pretty stiff (hardfoam)but not the party where I glued. I decreased the speed about 60-70% 😂 mentioned it because it is also a monster

We also thought the light rig had gone for a Burton, but we found it afterwards, lots of glue will solve this issue, and I think a theme change soon, they are hardcore beasts 👍

I had to Google Slash Cat, and it brought up Slash holding a cat! Hardfoam is good stuff, you can build all kinds of insane creations 👍

@@RCsoandso Hotwheels attack pack . Model name is slash cat 😺 I have a free plan i mean 3d model online on thingyverse. Only need to measure the parts with a 3d tool. The best part it's fully functional

Sounds a great project I must say, I do like the idea 👍

Imagine the trouble we could cause if someone threw money at us 🤣😂👍

​@@RCsoandsofunny trouble 😅

It’s hard to remember to slow down for the corners, and wow you need to slow down quite a bit for this not to go over 🤣😂👍

They can take a beating and Beetles have a charm to them, more than a 2CV 👍😂

I did see it yesterday online, wonder how it will be priced 🤔

@@RCsoandso L172 pounds.

😂👍
