Woah Fil, you created a true MONSTER! Looks freakin' awesome dude! Great job on the fabrication, for someone who says it's not his forte, it came out so good! Pity about the tyres coming off but we got a great taster of things to come. Now get the CA out and time to ROCK and ROLL! 😎👊👍
Love this sort of content mate! With the Midnight pumpkin being my first ever hobby grade I have nothing but love for it! 🎃 That one of yours is somewhat something of a celebrity as well, being the creator of the whole speed run series which has now become a beast of a concept! Just look at that thing!! The upgrades have made it look more like 1/10 scale now, with a certain element of stadium tuck vibes! As with a heavily upgraded clod, even though there aren't many of the original components left, it's still clearly a pumpkin, there's no denying that much. Great adaption of the front bulkhead, clever bit of modification there to make things fit! Those new front arms/wishbones look awesome, and the wider stance should hopefully make it more stable..... which will definitely help. What a beast, love it, love it love it! 👍 👍 👍 Ps I did laugh at Gary showing off his balloon knot live on UA-cam!! Bottoms up Gary! 🙀 😂
Yeah Gary's onlyfans page is paying the bills while I'm off work! Hahaha! He's got a gift, why not share it with the world! 🤣🤣🤣 Back to the 🎃, this truck has been reinvented a few times now, and we're not done with her yet. Easily one of the best RC's to come out of the Tamiya factory ever! 👍🏻😁
Okay Fil, you have a problem. It is called a RC Addiction, when you have cars sitting on top of car stacked on your table.🤣🤣 Nice upgrades and congrats getting to 10k subs
Oh man, tell me about it. I had to have "the talk" with the wife last week... "Hey babe, I was thinking about setting up some of the more collectable cars around the house, what do you think?" 🤣🤣🤣
That's still a cool looking truck. I remember the build video and all the speed runs you did, now all the upgrades, awesome to watch how it's progressing on the channel. Love it it still looks like new.😊😊😊
Its daft how you seem to be able to source parts from the UK and I seem to source parts from the US. I guess we are doing our bit to keep delivery services in operation!
Nice stuff Fil. I am glad you were able to get everything working together. It is one risk of having so many parts from so many places on on truck. It looks cool and seemed to run good as well. Some glue is definitely needed on those tires! You rung that one out well in the slow mo!!! LOL!!
Hey some very cool upgrades there Fil. I find it always helps when one of the cats comes in and walks around on the desk while I'm working on an RC. Shame about the tyres falling off but once glued I'm sure you'll have an epic run with this. Top work 👍👍
Yeah Gary loves some good RC time with his dad. But he really seems to be interested in helping when I'm filming. He's trying to get a break into Hollywood, I think! 🤣
Looking fantastic Fil Wow that's a bad ass Pumpkin! Top tip Fil always glue your tyres😉👍 lol just kidding! Lovely action vid what you did get it looked epic out there! Great job! Looking forward to seeing the part two beach run😉 cheers James
My non-glued tires have been my version of a poor man's slipper clutch! Lol! Which normally worked on this platform, but not with these super soft tires. Boy are they soft! Pizza cutters to the extreme! 🤣
I have been wondering about this conversion for the Pumpbox and you have shown me the way dude! I had the same problem with those tyres pal. They need a run of glue and then they are golden! Great video Fil 🙌🏻
Glue is drying as we speak! Haha. I also added some foams, as those tires are SO soft!!! Now just pray to the rain gods to stay away so I can get some filming done. 😂
Second 😢.......... Got to LOVE PUMPKIN TIME!!! Someone included instructions?!? I dont believe it. Those hubs are sweet , already wondering what else , they will fit.
Those tyres are very good, I have them on the Dump Truck and that handles so well. LOL not checking the fit before cutting 🙂 The wide kit, that will put stress on things but it looks good and handles well.
Very cool. I put double wishbone kit on my Lunchbox from Ampro Engineering a few years back, it really changes the dynamics of the truck. As in it actually can steer! The Ampro kit is a beautiful design, similar to the UK Monsters kit, but it's 3D printed and a bit brittle, I've already broken a couple arms. I might switch over to the UK kit as it seems way more durable.
Yeah the AMPro kit is awesome, but he even says in the description that it's not meant for hard bashing. That's why I tried the UK Monsters kit. It's very expensive! But worth every penny if you ask me. I love it! 👍🏻
Love it, i think i want to do a big lunchbox custom build. But will be a winter job if i do. Was crazy seeing a lunchbox blow its tyres. But then remeberd its got a 12 turn brushless set up 😂
Im pretty sure I went full aluminium everything on my lunch box. The guy at the local RC shop mentioned to keep it stock or go HAM! Almost done with my build. Your Videos help me see all those unforseen issues that typically occur with different vendors parts.
That's awesome pal, glad my mistakes are helping you not make mistakes, lol! 🤣 -- The CW01 is such a fun chassis to go and customize. Plus, there are so many parts available now, you can really go crazy with it. 👊🏼
Nice upgrades Fil, just a bit too pricey for my liking. I’ll stick with the AMPRO stuff I think. Those tyres look great, you just need some foams and glue on them! 🤓 Love the show, mate!
Yeah not cheap, but tough. AMPro makes AMAZONG stuff, and he's pretty much one of the coolest dudes in our hobby. But he says himself, his 3D printed double wishbone kit is not meant for bashing. And I fully intend on bashing this kit, so I splurged for the UK Monsters. 👍🏻
Maaaan these are the videos that make me want to buy a CW-01 now. Almost did, but a knee jerk reaction made me get a Konghead (not a single regret) Had I got a Lunchbox or Midnight Pumpkin, I'd be watching videos about the G6-01 telling this same story hahaha That thing is dope though! Glue those tires homie!!
Yeah dude the Konghead is SO much fun! You can't go wrong with either chassis! But put a CW01 in your sights, because the goofy wheelie, bouncy butt action is always good for a laugh! 🤣👌
I just picked up the Chrome edition for 195 CAD and now I am upset I didnt get the Potenza tyre for 30 bucks AUD a pair from Tam Tam in Tokyo plus some upgrades. So for now I will just run it stick and wait to my next trip this video was helpful thanks.
Right on! That chrome body is SO nice! The Potenza tires are great, you can usually find them on Ebay for a good price. Have fun with your Pumpkin! (That sounds bad, but you get it! 😬😁)
@poorboysrc I will have a look but usually the shipping is more than the price of the product. I think I will wait to my next Japan trip and give it some mods and enjoy the wife's pumpkin 😉 I enetered your draw so let's see in a day or so 🤞🍻
Wicked, man! Glad you found my channel! Feel free to email any time you're stuck! Poorboysrc78@gmail.com As for the Blackfoot, the only weak point is the gearbox and rear axles. The gearbox tends to make a "clacking" sound under stress (too powerful a motor, etc...), as a result of the thin metal plates separating and stressing out the diff. You can fix this with the MIP ball diff. But when upgrading to the MIP diff, you'll also have to upgrade the stock rear axles (hex type) to the rere Frog dogbones (a.k.a. Frogbones). These are classic dogbone style, and a little longer, so they don't fall out of the drive cups.
Hey dude, welcome aboard! I'm working on another running video with this setup, and you will get one soon, I promise! I had issues as you saw at the end of this video, then issues again last week, haha. So I think I've got it all sorted out now. 😁👍🏻
It all depends on how fast you want to be. I'm running 3300kv and I really like it. Some say it's too much, but I love it. If you get an esc with adjustable parameters, that's a good idea. Since the CW01 likes to wheelie a lot, you'll want to dial down the initial punch so it's not flipping all over the place. 👊🏼
I wonder if you can put those upgraded front arms on a factory chassis. I am looking at buying a pumpkin. I want to drop it down on to Tamiya mini shocks and make it more stable... Any thoughts on my idea?
Hey Fil, just out of curiosity did you try the 4 holes in front of the servo on the chassis for the upper links on that ukmonsters suspension? I was thinking of getting this kit as well being my MP is modded like yours, I wonder if 2 of those 4 holes would've worked.
Yeah I played around with it off camera for 30 minutes. The way I did it was the only way I could see it working (pretend I didn't grind down the carbon fibre). But like I said in the video, customization like that isn't my forte, so I won't deny that there may be other ways to make it work. Between trying to make it work, recording, Gary, life, and all the other distractions, I don't always see the best path forward. 👊🏼
That looks awsome brotha. I've been thinking about getting a set of those tires for my Sqaush Van. I won it from the RC Kicks raffle, and I'm not overly impressed with the stock tires. They almost feel "plasticky" if that's even a word...lol I've done the suggested Tamiya hop ups on it, and currently I'm running it on some basic slash tires. Not for the looks, trust me, but it does help with stability, and I don't want to ruin rhe stock tires and rims. I've been looking at various wheels and tires, including these, and would be curious to see what you suggest since you have the Squash van too. I wouldn't mind widening it either.
Yeah the Squash Van (or Von Squash as I like to call it) is a top-heavy rolly-polly rig, isn't it? If you haven't already, watch my series on it. I dropped in a wild Castle BL system and ran it on both 2S and 3S. It was too much, but that's kind of the fun, isn't it? Haha. I set my dampers to 50% droop and it helped stability a ton! So that's a good starting point. You could put some wideners on there, or a more offset wheel to gain a little more stability, too. The stock tires are basically hockey pucks, so they don't offer much in the way of grip. Some guys use CW01 tires (2.0 I/D) and stretch them over the 2.2 Von Squash rim. I haven't done this in years, but some guys swear by it. The wider tire helps with stability. Those are some cheap, fun options to try. Good luck! 🍻
@@poorboysrc Of course I watched the videos about the "Von Squash". 😁 I've been a subscriber for awhile and watch all you videos. Love the channel btw. I noticed the biggest difference when I put on the Gf-01 aluminum oil dampers with the TRF501X springs. I did put in a brushless setup, but nothing crazy, a Hobbywing Xerun Xr10 17.5t sensored system. I actually went with that system because of your videos. I knew anything too spicy, would turn it into a Roly Poly machine. Gavin spent alot of time to make it beautiful, so the last thing I want to do is ruin it. I'm probably going to pick up a runner body for it too.
@@ShawnMoreland317 that's awesome man, thanks for all the support. They say the CC02 bodies can fit the SV, so that opens up the door for a lot of body options. I don't see how they'd fit, but I swear I read that somewhere. Good call on the milder setup. This chassis can handle brushless with ease. It's such a great rig! 👍🏻
Awesome build!! the CW-01 is my favorite Tamiya chassis for having fun with in the back yard or out in the street. just sent you a message on Facebook of some of the upgrades I have been working on for this chassis
You'll get it sorted, I'm sure. There has to be some bead locks out there that will work. What an awesome build! While it might not be as durable as others, you have a 1 of a kind rig!🤜🤛🫡
Woah Fil, you created a true MONSTER! Looks freakin' awesome dude! Great job on the fabrication, for someone who says it's not his forte, it came out so good! Pity about the tyres coming off but we got a great taster of things to come. Now get the CA out and time to ROCK and ROLL! 😎👊👍
A little CA, some foams, tighten up the shocks and this pumpkin is ready to rip up the patch, baby! Haha! Cheers dude! 🍻
Yes, Mark I have watched all your videos to date and the Shorts too.
@@allanritchie1539 That's cool, much appreciated, Allan! 👍🏼👍🏼
Needs a diff locker or spool in the gearbox.
I've never tried that in the MP before. It sure would help in the deep sand!
Ive had my eye on that UK Monsters kit for the Lunchbox. I will have to pull the trigger. Good stuff!
It's SO nice! Not cheap, but super nice, and very strong! 👍🏻
Love this sort of content mate!

Which brusless combo would you suggest for lunchbox 3000kv 3250kv 3300kv or 3500kv? Will be running with 2s lipo.
It all depends on how fast you want to be. I'm running 3300kv and I really like it. Some say it's too much, but I love it. If you get an esc with adjustable parameters, that's a good idea. Since the CW01 likes to wheelie a lot, you'll want to dial down the initial punch so it's not flipping all over the place. 👊🏼
