Just got home from a soggy, epic trail run with the local RC crawler group. It was in the forest area around Mt St. Helens so it was a mix of thick moss, mud, and lava rock. Our team made it 60 gates of the 140 before our teammate's radio got water logged and went haywire 😁. We hit the course in teams of 3 so I drove my C1 build, my wife drove my Sendero, and a new friend drove his 4WS class 3 rig. It was run what you brung (brought 😂) and bragging rights if you survived. His radio tapped out before we did but we decided to call it too (rain jackets were working but everything else became soaked through). This was a fun first vid to watch as my LiPo's storage charge and I warm back up. Kudos to you for some smooth driving and drifting there! Very impressive to hold that drift around the island and also impressed to see how well that Kyosho held up to the fun 👍.
Oh man, thanks for that little story, Andy! Super inspiring to try to replicate that kind of event locally. Wow, I love the sound of it! (I still worry about insurance and holding an event, so I'm building toward RC-TNT managing that as a company rather than as a club - just gotta build this thing up some more and then the local public benefit can be unleashed. I'm super keen). Anyway, your epic trail run sounds, well, epic. So glad you got out there with your wife, too - that's pretty excellent. And also that you're making new friends as you go, that's just what it's all about. And lastly, thanks for your comments on this video. It was a fun bash session with just a shade of 'work' thrown in - to make the video. The cars are really great, they're really smooth and the tires are perfect for general use. Motor and gearing is superbly matched to their intended purpose, I think. Just all-round great cars. Cheers :)
@@RCTNT That would be an amazing next step 🙌. I imagine rules around gatherings are more relaxed here, or we flew under someone's radar here re: event insurance. The group organizer had enough sponsors donate things that he didn't need to charge a signup fee. I have seen groups north getting shut down when the county's parks department got wind of how large their events had become. There's a lot of people here in both the mountain biking and RC crawler community (rightfully) encouraging people to leave spaces as they were found (or better) so we don't lose access for future fun
Great insight into these little monsters. Looking at getting one myself (the Datzun 240z body) and researching to find out what I'll need to tweak and repair. Love the way these things sound even on stock motor out of the box. This is quite helpful. Cheers!
@@RCTNT haha eh!!! , brushless and 3s only is fun, alloy driveshaft and metal pinion gear , perfect now. my brushed system fried after running it on 3s hot 40 degree day, last two pulls haha concrete temp probably close to 60degrees
@@NB89876 haha very nice I'm going to leave this one brushed. Got my faster stuff too but this one is too pretty to kill with speed. Well, with that sudden stop at the end, that's what gets you!
Thanks, we're getting there. No huge leaps, but fairly consistent growth. It's our 1 year anniversary on YT Friday week. Been a fast year. Thanks again for your advice early on when I was getting started. It was really helpful.
could you make a video series on your tools, setup, car storage since you have a lot of rc it woulds be interesting to see how you manage everything it could maybe give some ideas on how we could do things
Nice mix up with the cars! When I first got into RC I only had crawlers & my take on any Fast RC’s was I’ll just break it. Now I have 4 Fast RC’s including the Arrma Fireteam & Losi Lasernut which by the way is way faster then I thought especially for a rock racer buggy. Thanks for sharing I’ve been eying the Chevy Truck & the El Camino for awhile now.
Nice wide open skate park to run those. Probably the smoothest surface you'll find out there. Both of those shells look great, but the El Camino pick up style does it for me!! Only just!! 😀 Somewhere, hidden in my shed, I have a Ninco4rc 4wd Renault Megane, with a brushless conversion!! I'll have to try that at my local skate park, if the kids will get off it long enough. 😎👍🏻
Now that looks like good fun!!! Looking forward to seeing on a track. You got some good drifting out of it. One reason I enjoy your channel is one day it’s testing tires then maybe excavator/transporter. Just a wide base of true enthusiast. Thanks
The Hellcat is a great looking body and I'd love to own one but unfortunately I just don't really have anywhere decent to run it properly. It would be nice if Kyosho engineered a hidden body mounting system for their Fazer cars as well.
Had a bit of a Kevin Talbot sorta vibes with the breakages and the air time, lol. Nice little bash at the park! Wasn't expecting it to be uploaded so soon after this morning's Instagram post! Always good when you share RC time with friends.

@@Andy_Yates that sounds familiar. I want to do it right. Small steps at a time!

Thanks!
That was a different offering. Not a boulder in sight! Looks like fun times were had. Thanks a bunch and take care!
Gotta change it up here and there! Thanks for watching, I appreciate you. Cheers
I bought one late last year, amazing car, skatepark bashes are the best!!!!!!
They are, eh!

Great work on the subscriptions progress craig!!

Another great vid and review Craig. Something a bit different and what a hoot - enhanced by some great driving too!
Thanks :) This car makes you look good, honestly. It's easy to control. 4wd helps a lot.
*This vehicle is very good at drifting!!!!~~~ Thank you for the nice car and the video! 😊😀*
The surface helped but yes indeed, fun car!
could you make a video series on your tools, setup, car storage
since you have a lot of rc it woulds be interesting to see how you manage everything
it could maybe give some ideas on how we could do things
Interesting idea. I'll think on that, thank you.
thanks!
2:03 I can clearly hear a sound of perfect landing off camera. Well done! 😂
Lol, perfect, sure, yes that's what happened.

Definitely a place for faster stuff, yes sir! Nice little fleet you have there! I'll show some more faster stuff this year, too. Cheers

It's highway to breakages, but at least it's a fun journey! Very nice.

Thanks a lot, Dan! It's my pleasure to have you guys to share this stuff with. Really glad you enjoyed it :)
they actually look like fun.
They actually were!
😍😍 wonderful day buddy so coolllllllll run in the park 😎👍👍👍
Thanks, it was :)
The Hellcat is a great looking body and I'd love to own one but unfortunately I just don't really have anywhere decent to run it properly. It would be nice if Kyosho engineered a hidden body mounting system for their Fazer cars as well.
Hidden mounts are becoming standard, as are lights and waterproofing. It'll happen!
@@RCTNT That will be great. It is amazing how many high end products for off-road use are still not weather resistant at all.
@@BlackSeaRC give it a few more years and it'll be standard, I think.
Yo I never knew about that nuetral switch...crazy
It's a good idea eh

Lol fair enough. It was a good day.
perfect
Handles better than the 4tec to me
I've been wondering about that. Haven't tried a 4tec yet, but probably should! Thanks for the info!
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..
Lol merci
where does the nitro fuel go in???????????
I can't pick if this is a joke or not, but if not, this is an electric model 👍
Sorry if it was a joke, went right over my head!
