Poor Boys RC MF01X Speed Run Challenge Intro

- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- My intro video into the @poorboysrc speed run challenge this year. I will be running in the brushless category where I may have a chance of at least being in the top 20! There was no way I was going into the open class although strapping a rocket to it sounds a little tempting! LOL! I would run brushed, but I don’t have any motors with the guts to compete! So brushless it is, and I am hoping to end the challenge with a smile on my face and car that is still in one piece, or at least repairable! Best of luck to everyone!
You guys are all awesome and I appreciate all the great comments and questions from everyone. Really enjoying talking to you all in the comments section.

The bug came out awesome the right colors to make a nice classic just needs a surf board or two on the roof now!👍👍
Thanks Steve! The Bug looks very cool and classic! A surf board is not a bad idea at all! The Mazda is just cool and corny! I may not win but I will get some laughs out of it for sure!!
Nice to meet you again Addam! Oh sorry, I'm one of the returning viewers! Nice intro video and a great SRC entry. Same here dude, I'm only in it for the smiles as usual, not a chance of winning! But WOW - you went all the way with those beautiful bodies. Absolutely LOVE the paint and sticker job you did on that Mazda, one of the best I've seen. All the best mate!
Hiya Mark! Yeah I may have gone a little overboard on the runner body! Nathaneal from MCI really helped out with the great idea and cool decals for it. I got the body in the mail and looked at it for a very long time and could not think of anything cool or funny to do with it. He immediately responded with this idea and it is perfect. I am calling it the 0.787 racer! I am going to have to try really hard to keep it shiny side up during the runs! LOL! Have fun with yours and have a wonderful weekend!!!
Agree!! Ciao
Nice body, Addam! Haha! Seriously though, that Beetle body looks so clean and classy. I don't blame you for not wanting to scratch it up.
But the Mazda 2 is SO SWEEEET!!! Excellent livery choice!
Thanks Fil! yeah the bug is cool and classy and will be a great retirement body for it. the Mazda turned out super cool and Nathaneal really helped out a ton. I was clueless what I was going to do with it. The body showed up and I just stared at it wondering what to do... this is perfect and I love the little bit of humor it has, I am calling it the 0.787 racer!
That 787 livery looks sooooo good on that body!! The Beetle body turned out great too!! Good luck in the challenge!! I am rooting for ya! 😃🏁
Thanks! Bother turned out really cool and I owe a big thanks to Nathaneal at MCI for coming up with the 787 idea for it! I was completely stumped for an idea for it. I knew what I wanted to do for the beetle but the Mazda I was at a loss! I may not win but it will look fast out there! LOL!
That bug body paint is totally awesome !! Love it! But the 787 Mazda livery looks great too 👌👍👍
You said Traxxas again 😉😆
Thanks! Both turned out really cool and the bug is cool and classy and the Mazda is cool and corny! I am calling the 0.787 racer! LOL! Team T is not my favorite company but I do have several of them. I just won't feature their stuff on the channel.
Mate 😮!!! That rally car was amazing but omg that beetle body is absolutely spectacular amazing work Addam every car you paint you manage to surprise me even when I know how good your work is incredible job mate well done 👊
Thanks Mark! I am glad you like them. The beetle is simple and classy and the Mazda is cool and corny! I was at a complete loss for what to do with that one and Nathaneal at MCI nailed it with his idea of doing the 787 Le Mans livery on it. The intention was to have the beetle as a nice retirement body for it after the speed runs and then a runner body i didn't care about for the speed runs. Now I have two nice ones I don't want to beat up! LOL! I will just have to do my best and not destroy the Mazda but a few scuffs and scrapes will get it a story! Take care and have a terrific week!
The color on the Beetle looks great. I have always like that color combination. The Mazda body is amazing. It looks fantastic. I would be reluctant to run either. Have fun with the speed runs,
Thanks Mike! Both turned out well and the beetle is classic and cool and the Mazda, well cool and corny! Nathaneal had a great idea and it worked very well! I am calling it the 0.787 racer!
I am not looking forward to putting a scratch on it but I am fairly certain it is going to be unavoidable! It should be fun and rather sketchy but at least I get to giggle as the "supercar" flies past us out there!
Awesome paint job on both bodies Addam. Although I'm not a Beetle guy, this my favorite of boths. Have fun in this event.
Thanks Dirk! The Beetle turned out rather snazzy looking and the Mazda, well that just makes me giggle!. I am calling it the Mazda 0.787 racer! LOL! I am hoping the fun race themed body gets me a few extra MPH! LOL!
Love the color of that beetle the speed run car body came out really nice also can’t wait to see how fast it runs
I am glad you liked them, both turned out pretty cool. I was going to get out with it yesterday but other stuff came up and I did not make it out there. I will get it run soon as I am very curious as what it will do! I am going to try and keep it rubber side down as i do not want to destroy this body!
2 superb bodies 😮 Brilliant idea about the 787b livery on the small Mazda 🤩 Good luck with the Challenge 🤞🤝
Thank you! The beetle turned out rather snazzy looking and the 787 just makes me giggle! I have decided I am calling it the 0.787 racer! Best of luck to you as well, I know you already got out wit yours and got some decent speeds already!
Both bodies turned out great. The bug looks like a dicast. Really cool on the Mazda.
Thanks! The bug turned out really cool, nice and classic! The runner body I was stumped on, I got it in and had not idea what to do with it. Nathaneal had a great idea and delivered some great decals for it, Now I just have to try real hard to not destroy it and keep the shiny side up during the runs!
Great choice Addam , Doing my decals as I type. Color and concept is great....
Thank Paul! I saw yours, I am digging the two tone on yours too! I am so tired of cutting decals for the time being!! LOL! Looking forward to seeing your once it is all done up!
Lol...... All those cars behind you and Fil had to pick one of the only ones you (and us) don't already own!
Typical eh?!
Those shells looked stunning, especially the beetle..... I don't blame you for wanting to keep the bug mint!
Great to see you back in the competition for another year..... Will be keenly following along.
Good luck Sir! 👍 👍 👍 😊
Right, how dare he make us buy more kits! LOL! The beetle turned out nice and classy just as I wanted it to. I don't dislike the rally theme I just love old classic bugs and the the big chrome bumpers just makes it look so cool. The Mazda turned out great too and it is a shame it is going to get banged up in the speed runs but it will add character. It will have the beetle as a nice retirement body once all the speed run stuff is over. Take care I hope you and the crew have a great week!
Hi Addam, very impressed with the paintwork. I can see you creating a third basher body, purely for the speed runs 😊
Once I got done with the runner body I did debate for a moment finding something else to use! LOL! I will be running the 0.787 racer body on it and if it get scratched and torn up then it was still worth it for the comedic value and the style points! LOL!
That Beetle body is beautiful, glad you are not running it for the speed challenge, I got the VW Golf but it was too nice to run as well, can't wait to show you what I am running for a body.
The beetle is cool and classy looking, too nice to bang around in the speed runs. I had no idea I was not going to want to scratch up the runner body but it turned out pretty cool too! It will still be run but it is gonna hurt a little when it rolls! I subbed to you to try and catch your runs and future videos as well!
Hey Addam, oh wow! You’ve been busy! Both the Beetle and the Mazda2 bodies have turn out looking fantastic 😊😊! Good luck in the brushless category of the speed challenge, I hope the Mazda 2 body doesn’t get too scuffed up! Still, that beautiful Beetle body, colour choices on both are perfect😊😊.Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊
Thanks John! The Beetle turned out looking rather snazzy and I will treat that one like an old classic car once it is ready for that body. The Mazda, I am calling the 0.787 racer, is probably going to get some road rash on it. I am going o try my best to keep it shiny side up but with the short and narrow stance it has it may be very hard to come out it scratch free! I will get it out soon for a shakedown run and see what it can do! Take care my friend and have a great weekend!
As someone who has owned several RX7's and an RX8, I am digging this body! Nice work! 😎 I have been kicking around the idea of doing this to an RX8 body like the RX8 LM in Gran Tourismo.
Thanks, I am glad you liked it! It would look better and much more fitting on the RX8! It is both cool and corny on the Mazda2 body! I am calling it the 0.787 racer!
@@AddamsPlayground haha 0.787 is pretty good. Maybe 2.787 would be fitting too.
Oh wow the Beetle looks really lovely and I'm thinking that you are going to come out with a rough basher body for the speed run and then you come out with another amazing custom shell that also looks too nice to wreck. At least the Mazda 2 hasn't got hard plastic bumpers so might do better in a crash. Very cool Addam and good luck in the contest 😁👍👍
Thanks Pete! The Beetle turned out classy and cool and the Mazda turned out cool and corny! I like them both and yes, it is going to hurt when the Mazda rolls over! it was intended to be the "I don't care" body but after the great idea and graphics from Nathaneal from MCI it is really cool! I will do my best to keep it shiny side up! I am glad you liked both of them!
Your speed run body looks amazing Addam…they both are beautiful! Good luck with the challenge!👍😊
Thanks Jeremy! I may have gone a little overboard on the runner body! Nathaneal at MCI had a terrific idea and the decals worked out great. I just have to not destroy it now! LOL! At least the bug will be safe and I have it to put on after all the craziness is done!
Wow! That’s a great Livery and very fitting for a little Mazda doing a speed challenge.👍😊 Beautiful paint work for a runner shell. Hope it gets back in good shape and all the best for the speed run!😅🤞
Thanks! Yes, I may have gone a little overboard on the runner body! It turned out great and I am hoping I can keep it shiny side up and not get it all torn up during the runs! LOL!
Hey Addam!👩😃. What a shame you had to pick up another kit for the challenge😁🎉. Both bodies turned out looking wayyy too good to scratch up, nice job on both mate👍. All the best for Fil's challenge. G'day from Ingrid to you Addam👧. We hope you're having a great weekend and thanks for sharing your video👌🦘🇦🇺
Hi guys! Yeah, a huge bummer I had to buy another kit just to compete LOL!! The bug body ended up looking pretty snazzy and classy. The Mazda came out cool and touch corny which I love. The humor in it is terrific, I just hope it does not get destroyed! I am sure it will get a few scuffs and scrapes but I am hoping for not much more than that! Take care guys and have a terrific weekend!
Welcome back indeed. I've been watching your channel for quite some time now and it's great to see you taking part in this. 👍
I've not long started this channel, so you've now got two subs from me. Lol
Well thank you for the extra support and I subbed to your new channel to keep up with your runs as well! I was hoping to get out this morning first thing with it and make it's first run but it rained over night so not an ideal time to try and go fast!
Awesome job on both bodies! The bug is awesome looking bug I am an old air cooled guy! Good luck Addam! Can’t wait to see her run!🤜🤛
Thanks! I do love a classic old bug as well. I did not have the heart to beat up the bug body so another was bought and then I overdid it and don't want to scratch that one all up either LOL!!!! I have one more run with the DTO2 and then I will start on running this one!
@@AddamsPlayground lol….they are both very nice! Can’t wait to see your runs! 🤜🤛
The Beetle body looks great! 👍 But I know what you mean about not wanting to trash it! 😅
Yeah, the beetle was going to be too nice to to beat up and it will make a good retirement shell on it after all the speed run stuff is over with!
Oh, wow! What a beauty that is! First that classic Beetle body, that was great already... But that Mazda, that is soooo cool! What a great idea, happy you got some help on the ideas, and flawless execution of that livery! Best looking speedrun car I've seen so far, it will hurt to watch it slide on its roof, he he...
Yeah, I am already enjoying all the videos leading up to this SRC, although there is no way I will be able to watch them all, it will be big this year, he he... I hope to get my intro video shot next week sometime, too...
Thanks Mads! The beetle came out looking right snazzy and the Mazda just makes me giggle! I am so glad Nathaneal recommended this livery for it and it turned out great. I am certainly not going to lose track out it out there! I tend to make them too nice to beat up but in this case we are running the Mazda not matter what and it will just add character to it, hopefully not too much though! I would prefer to stay rubber side down on the runs! Yeah, There is no way I am going to catch everyone's run this year, just to many! Best of luck to you and look forward to your video!
Looks awesome! Some day when i finish my 85 rx7 (1:1 car) im probbaly gonna go with a 787 homage paint job
That would be super cool! I decided I am calling this one the 0.787 racer!!
And here you confirm your ability in body making, agree with M. Bryan... Ciao!!
Thanks Nanni! Both of them turned out really cool and I just hope the Mazda does not get too torn up out there doing the speed runs! I am sure the 787 theme will add a few mph to the top speed! It will be fun and even if I don't make it to the top of the list then it will look good trying!!
Lovely job on both bodies Addam.. it’s a shame Tamiyas need body posts as the beetle one would look totally scale if you didn’t see the body posts.. 😊 look forward to see the speed runs dude.... go Addam whoo 😊😊 🏎️🏎️ Pete
Thanks Pete! The Beetle body turned out looking pretty snazzy and the Mazda just makes me giggle. I am calling it the 0.787 racer! I agree, without the body posts the beetle would look super nice. It does look better once they are cut down, not as noticeable when they are trimmed. I look forward to seeing how this one does, I think it is goin to be a handful!
Thats why i always buy body parts set from Tamiya because they have no holes so i can use magnets
Looks great Addam, both bodies turned out awesome! Good luck in the competition too!
Thanks! I am glad you liked them and it should be fun seeing the Mazda go flying by in the speed runs! I hope it does not get too torn up in the runs.
That looks amazing Addam! Good luck in the competition bud!
Thanks you, I am glad you liked them. Both turned out really cool and I just have to try and not destroy the Mazda body during the speed runs! LOL!
Cool Addam! Looks great! Love the work on the beetle body...very retro but the racing Mazda 2 should look great out there. Got mine built...only thing left is the body but I'm going to be doing a speed run this week with a different body until I can get my other one ready...which I'm customizing :) Anyway...awesome stuff...can't wait to see it in action!
Thanks Freddy! I kind of went a little overboard with the runner body but when Nathaneal came up with the idea for it I had to do it the best I could and I think it is too cool and very funny as well. I would die laughing if I saw a real Mazda2 dressed up in the 787 race car livery. I am not looking forward to scraping it all up but that is its job to save the beetle body until the speed runs are over and then it can retire to a slower life with the beetle shell! Take care my friend and have a great week!
Lovely looking car you’ve got there. And the beetle you’ve done too.
Thanks! I may have gone a bit overboard on the runner body but it was too good of an idea to pass up! The beetle will make a nice retirement body for it after all the speed run shenanigans are over!
Both of those bodies are stunning!!
I'd be afraid to use either of them at high speed. I'll have to keep an eye on your progress, it'll be great to see them on the move. 👍
Yes, I may have over done it a bit with the runner body but it is going to get run and probably scraped up based off of other runs I have seen. It is the sacrificial one and it will just have a story to go along with it afterwards!
@@AddamsPlayground
I've destroyed the bumpers, spotlights and both front fenders have nearly split off on my beetle body, so I'm just gonna patch it up and use that as a beater.
The escort shell has suffered some damage, but it's easily fixed, so I won't be running that much at high speed. I can't keep affording to buy new body shells. Lol
@@douglasross4629 patch it all up with some gorilla tape under the shell and keep running it!
@@AddamsPlayground
I'm using some duck brand clear repair tape.
It's brilliant stuff. I've used it to repair the rear wing on my racing fighter and it works a treat. I'll be using it on the beetle once the paint dries. 👍
Great work on that Body Addam, you went to way more trouble than I did with my all black GR Yaris! Interesting fact if you don't already know, Mazda made a special edition MX5 (Miata) with the 787B paint scheme. They are very rare and highly collectible now, worth a great deal of money. When you say a decent collection, I think that has to be the biggest whopper of an understatement I've heard this year lol. Anyways all the best with the speed run challenge and let me just say I'd glad I'm not up against you in brushless class, definitely sticking with brushed motors :)
I am glad you liked the paint jobs and yes, I went overboard with the runner body! I am quite certain I am not going to be at the top of the leaderboard but I can look good trying! LOL! I'll take the style points any day of the week over the fighting tooth and nail over the top spot! Now I just have to do my best to keep it shiny side up!
I have a decent collection, there are others with a lot more cooler cars than I have but I may have understated it a little bit. Nothing wrong with being a little modest with the obsession! LOL! Best of luck to you in the brushed category! If I had a good motor and ESC for it I would have probably played there instead.
Those colors look amazing on the bug!
Thanks! Both turned out pretty cool but the beetle is going to look great on there after all this speed run stuff is done!
Looks cool Addam I have been dragging my feet on mine yours looks cool
@@AdventureTimeRC it is easy to do when you have so many projects going at once!
@@AddamsPlayground that's a fact 💯
Great job on those bodies. I dont want to crash either of them. Definitely not the beetle. Great color choice. The Mazda looks race. Should have better aero also
Thank you! The beetle turned out looking pretty snazzy! I am definitely not running the beetle body until it is back to having a "normal" motor in it! The little Mazda may end up getting a little roughed up, I am going to try to keep it nice but it make come home with a little road rash. It makes me giggle and since I am doubtful to win I am going for style points! LOL!
Lol , I have the Mazda 2 sitting in the box here. Never thought to use it. Great idea. I found a very well-known kit that also fits. I'm holding off for now. That mazda is truly fantastic! And I drive mazdas . Love it.
Thanks Paul, I am glad you liked it! The Mazda was a funny choice, it does not scream speed racer until now! I am calling this the 0.787 racer! To be fair none of the bodies for the MF01X scream speed racer. Probably one of the reasons Fil chose them!
@AddamsPlayground I know for fact after months of chats about it. He wanted something very unusual and provided a more "level" playing field. I was pushing the MB, and the day the BT came out, I was pushing that nightmare. If you can get those stable, you're not a good driver, you're an Ace Test Pilot.
Poor Fil ,I have been speed running him to death since last year.
Very cool ! We’re going to try a few different bodies . My bug took a beating during the shakedown runs . Good luck !
I knew one would get banged up during the runs so I wanted to get a second one. I was not planning on the second on turning out so cool that I wouldn;t want to run that one either! LOL! I just have to try my best to keep it shiny side up! I subbed to check out your runs as well! Take care and have a great week!
@@AddamsPlayground awesome thanks ! I know the feeling . I tend to go a little overboard on the body just to send it lol !
Great job Addam looking forward to seeing it run 👌
Thank Mark! I think I will be trying to get it out for a run tomorrow and see what it does in this configuration before the much faster motor shows up.
Love the livery. Turned out awesome. We are hoping to get the Ghia painted up this weekend and do our own livery theme.
Thank Trey! I was at a complete stand still when I got the body, I had no idea what to do with it. Nathaneal immediately came up with this idea and it turned out super cool!! I love the bug too but that is the retirement body once all this speed run stuff is done. I am just hoping the Mazda makes it out of it with little damage! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Amazing work on that body Addam. It is going to look awesome sliding upside down on the roof at 40mph brother 😂🤣
Love those decals pal 😎
That beetle body might have inspired me to go two tone with mine too. I was going to be lazy but it looks really good 🙌🏻
LOL, probably! I am going to try and keep it shiny side up but more than likely it will end up with some road rash! The Mazda Race livery was a great idea and I am super thankful for Nathneal suggesting it as I was completely stumped. I got the body and looked at it for a long time and couple not think of anything cool or funny to do with it. He immediately responded with this idea and it is perfect. I am calling it the 0.787 racer!
The two tone is not hard, the bonnet is pretty easy to over mask the dented areas and then gently cut away the excess. The roof and rear end are fairly straight forward too. You will happier with a two tone and shouldn't take to long to mask up. Nothing like the Mazda, that one took some time getting it masked and painted but was worth it! Take care and have fun with it!
Nice one bruv!!
Bodies look great. Excellent work.
Thanks! I am glad you liked them. One classy and one fast boi for the speed runs!
Looks sweet as a crunchy bug Addam! Hi mate👍
Thanks James! Both of them turned out pretty cool and now it has a nice runner and retirement body for it!
Glad to have you join the fun. You’re going to need a runner body for your runner body. They both came out amazing. But the Mazda 2 is my favorite!
LOL! Yeah, I may have gone overboard with the runner body. I am sure it is going to add at least 3mph just from the paint scheme! LOL! The beetle will make a great retirement body for after the speed runs but the 787 livery will look great out there trying to go fast. I am sure it is going to get banged up some, I am going to do my best to keep it rubber side down though!
good luck mate. those car bodies are dreamy mate. well done👍😊
Thanks Dom! Both turned out pretty cool, I am glad you liked them!
…. Oh wow the Mazda looks freekin awesome too
Thanks! I am calling it the 0.787 racer! LOL! It turned out really cool and corny! I am very thankful for Nathaneal for the great idea and decals to pull it off!
Wow they both look cool but man I love the Beatle don't blame you for not using it 😂 good luck with the speed challenge 👍🏼
Thanks! The Beetle will get driven like an old classic car once the speed runs are over! The Mazda however is going to probably come home with a little road rash by the end of all this! LOL! I am going to do my best to keep it shiny side up but I am fairly certain at some point it will take a tumble or 10! LOL!
Good luck buddy loving the beetle body 🥰👍🏼
Thanks! The beetle turned out really nice and will be a great retirement body for it once all the speed run stuff is done. I am hoping the super car themed body will give it an extra couple mph of speed LOL!!
@@AddamsPlayground yes I forgot to say good choice of body and paint scheme 👌🏻
Cool looking car. Hope you do well. 🏁🏁🏁
Fingers crossed. I have still yet to make it out for a maiden run yet. One thing or another has kept me from getting out with it. Dirt road living problems!! LOL!
The livery came out FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! Both of them turned out pretty cool and I have to thank Nathaneal at MCI for coming up with the idea for the Mazda livery. I am calling it the 0.787 racer!
Great work, Addam! Both of those bodies are spectacular. I especially like the blue/white beetle. Do you any suggestions for "finding" everyone's speed runs on UA-cam? Maybe a search suggestion?
Thanks! I do like both of them a lot. The bug is cool and classy and the Mazda is cool and a bit corny! I am calling it the 0.787 racer! I think the best search may be the "@poorboysrc" tag and that should pull up the majority of the videos as most folks are tagging them with that.
THAT Body is awesome. Absolutely love it!!
Thanks Glenn! Both of them turned out great and the bug will make a great retirement body for the car once it is done with all the speed run shenanigans. I am hoping the Mazda body does not get trashed, I am sure it will get a few scuffs and scrapes but I am going to do my best to keep it shiny side up!
@@AddamsPlayground from what I have been seeing that looks quite a challenge lol
Nice!! You just have fun that's what it's all about if I ever joined in I would not go crazy either just do it for the fun.
Exactly, I am here to compete but having fun with it and enjoying the whole thing is winning for me! As long as the car looks good doing it that is all that matters! My super-duper 0.787 racer will win some hearts if nothing else!
Last
That blue and white body looks awesome even if it only did 3 mph it looks perfect Great now I want a Volkswagen bug I have to stop watching your videos lol
How many people are in the competition
Thanks! The Beetle body looks pretty sharp! Once the speed run stuff is done it will get put on there and taken out for a run. It looks super cool with the chrome bumpers and everything on it. I am not sure at this point. I keep seeing more and more folks pop up on with videos. I know the first year it was like 30 or 40 and last year it was double that and this year it seems like more folks are joining in as well. I am glad I am not Fil and have to keep up with it all! LOL!
What a job on making a Mazda look awesome!! Cheers
Thanks, I owe it all to Nathaneal over at MCI Racing as he came up with the great idea and provided the decals. I was completely stumped as to what to do with it and he immediately thought of this for the livery and it is too cool! Now I just have to try and not destroy it during the speed runs!! LOL!
Both the bodies came out amazing, awesome work brother
Thank you! Both of them turned out nice and now I have a speedy body and cool, classy one for its retirement.
Wow Addam.... what a great job on those bodies man!!!!!! That motor is probably a 4600kv, I think that's the only "4000" kv type motor Castle has. Either way, lets hope they stay shiny side up, however, have you seen any speed run videos? LOL. Good luck man and remember, hammer fisting a speed run car is the enemy....
Thanks Bob! Both turned out really nice and Nathaneal from MCI really helped out a ton with the great idea and decals for the Mazda. I got the body and looked at it for a long time and could not think of anything cool or funny to do with it. He immediately responded with this idea and it is perfect. I am calling it the 0.787 racer! I am going to do my best to keep it from getting too torn up. I am sure at some point that roof is going to be slightly less shiny and smooth than it is now! At least the bug is safe! Thanks for the reminder, I am pretty good easing into the throttle but it is going to be a handful no matter how gentle I am with it!
Game on 👍
Yours looks ready to go. The beetle body is sharp. Rally looks good too
Thanks, both turned out pretty sweet. I am glad you liked them! I am sure the 787 theme paint job is worth a few extra mph of speed and then it will retire after the speed challenge with the beetle body for a little more of a sedate lifestyle!!
Love the livery!
Thanks! It was a really great idea from Nathaneal to do it like this and it turned out really cool. Now i just have to tray and not destroy it in the challenge!
Nice work on the bodies Addam , Love the Bug 😍💯👍👍👍👍
Thanks! I the the cool, classy look of the beetle and it will make a very nice retirement body for it after the speed runs. The Mazda should gain a few extra mph from the 787 livery alone so I am already added free speed! LOL!
Looks great in cobalt & white, loads better than the orange & black😊
The box art is fine but I wanted less rally look to it and with the chrome bumpers it comes with it make a very nice classic look to it with a "normal" paint scheme on it. Nice and classy!
Great job on the mazda body adam 😎
Thanks! I am very thankful for the great idea and decals from Nathaneal! I was completely stumped on what to do with that body! When it showed up I looked at it for a long time and couple not think of anything cool or funny to do with it. He immediately responded with this idea and it is perfect. I am calling it the 0.787 racer! Cool and corny!
Very cool Mazda.
Thanks! I am calling the 0.787 racer and I love the humor in it!
Car looks great! Good Luck!
Thanks! It should be fun and look forward to seeing where it falls in the leaderboard in the end!
Beautiful beetle 💙🤍💪😉
Very nice challenge 😊
Thanks! The beetle turned out very cool and classy looking! The Mazda should be a few mph faster just from the paint job on it! LOL!!! I just have to keep it shiny side up out there!
It looks great Addam. I really should jump into one of these speed competitions at some point. Even if it's just for fun.
Thank you! You should try it out, I have no real chance of winning but it is fun trying and seeing what you can do with what you have. I did just buy a new ESC and motor combo just for these and future ones. Figured if I am gonna keep playing then might as well bite the bullet and get some go fast electronics!!
That’ll be a good body to use. But I’m partial to the bug
I like the bug body better but that is an after the insanity body to leave on it for long term. The Mazda worked out great with the idea Nathaneal had for it! I am calling it the 0.787 racer! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground hahahaha
Awesome paint work
Thanks! Both turned out pretty neat, one smooth and classy and the other cool and corny!
@@AddamsPlayground they are both too nice to use.
did you get your speed in on the challenge, I got my speed in but it will be on next week's board I'm in the brushed class and my initial speed was 6.1mph haha
The MF01X is such a weird little chassis, did they make it from half of something else? Just thinking with the odd rear upper arm and hub extension stuff? I got it originally to make into some sort of 1/12th scale basher, with the Toyota pick up body from the GF01. It works great!
It is basically if you too a TL01 and an M-series car and smashed them together you would end up with this! It has the same drivetrain (mostly) from the TL01 and the suspension arms will work with it as well. And the stuff it into a M-series chassis (kind of). It is a unique little mash up but it seems nice. Yours sounds pretty cool! I love unique ones like that!
