Can you go through all the tires you have and tell us which ones smell the best😂
Love this guy- he just makes everything fun.
"Smells like traction" hahaha
quote of the video
I'm returning to RC after 30 years and this guys videos are already a very helpful highlight for me.
Great job!
Looking forward to building one soon.
Nice to see that beauty go together .
It's outta my league .
Your videos are very entertaining, Brett. “Mmmm, smells like traction...”
Great build and excellent tips! Good job Brett and crew.
Thanks for making .Brett.Your the man for these videos.Always enjoy them.
Thanks Scott! Glad you enjoy them and thanks for watching.
-Brett
Excellent paint job!!! Jason would approve!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just picked up a used 74.1 as my first wheeler, having only run 2wd classes in the past (21.5 buggy and 13.5 stadium truck). Seriously impressed with how it handled on a mostly stock setup. Very well setup platform.
Stunningly gorgeous buggy, ah man. I'd love one of these!
Just ordered me a carpet kit. I am an Xray guy and have the xb4. It will be nice to see how this performs compared to the Xray. It is a beautiful kit. Cannot wait to build it.
That will be a good comparison. I'm interested to hear what you think once it's all done.
-Brett
Awesome vids, great series! Love these build and upgrade vids, learning so much! Great job all around!
Man love this series
SMUSHED!!!
I love that "new tire smell" too. I could never own a hobby shop, I'd be gettin' high on my own supply!
Aww man this series is going to be AWESOME and action pack 🤙👍
I still can't believe that the channel hasn't reached 100k yet this is amazing
Nice build. Neat / practical balance with wiring etc is always best.
Should pick a different servo though, one that isn’t discontinued 😀
Clive, email me. I'm going to send you this servo. brettb@amain.com
Add something about youtube in the subject line so I see it please.
-Brett
I still like that you use paper plates to hold the parts just like most of us do. I used paper bowls when I built my TRX-4 earlier this year. They work better for smaller build areas.
Yes! I use those bowls sometimes too.
-Brett
Puttin the good stuff in there
Finally a build series to watch in quarantine lol😂
Very very nice build job!!!!!!!!
I'm so jealous... ive AAAAALLLWAYS wanted a team associated car or truck, ever since my first traxxas stampede in the 90s... i wanted a rc10gt, but id LOVE a b series vehicle too, or a t series electric truck... all their cars and trucks are just so amazingly well designed, thats why they always win races. Im tempted to fix my 3d printer and try to find a printable kit of one of their vehicles...just to have one, cuz theyre SO expensive.
Unh... soo beautiful, such a clean build.
Hi Brett, it’s certainly not a Tamiya kit lol 😂. Those kit parts look beautiful in alloy and carbon. Awesome video Brett. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
To be honest, high end Tamiya kits (Race version M’s, TT’s, and the TA, TB and TRF) are actually pretty nice.
@@itspique they are, but they just aren't on the same level as team associated. Tamaya tries, dont get me wrong, but associated is racing pedigree, losi being second place in my eyes. (They are, or were, the only real serious competitor for Team A back in the day)
Every piece is designed ground up to be perfect for racing and as good as they can possibly do for a kit car to win races.
The distance between this guys eyes is amazing
You really make me interested in carpet racers
I just bought this(B74.1D) the other day as my first build, should be fun.
I also had the same issue with the rear suspension arms being tight.
Congrats on the buggy! It's an amazing car to have as your first build. Everything went well besides the arms?
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies have not completed it yet, just did f/r diffs and steering. Will try to finish it up in a couple days.
Love the series of racing builds would be great to see some onroad nitro race cars. We onroad guys are here too. Even electric would be ok. But nitro is best 😉
We'd love to do that, but without a proper track in our area, it would be a limited series. We love some good onroad action though. I used to race a lot of TC back in the parking lot days. It was some of the best r/c fun.
-Brett
great video
Great videos, you guys put out excellent content. I buy nearly all my RC parts through amain. My next build will be an RC10-style racer!
really nice MY SHOP .!!! 🤜🏼💯🤛🏼
Wow that looks really good,😀😀😀
Oh good I thought I was the only one that could smell traction
That’s a nice truggy ,you deserve more subs all of my friends and me are subscribed
*buggy
Hahahahahahaha I always smell new tires too!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is definitely not in a budget buggy lol 😂😂
budget, what's a budget?
@@elvinowe yeah, who needs budget
Easy to get into a grand with these and that is insane. Especially if you have to get a radio on top of it. Then you're in the 1,200-1,300 range.
@@Lex-Rex I think you're more likely to end up in the 1, 400 - 1,600 range with a high end radio, such as a futaba t7pxr
@@RC-ty5ym Yep. I just speced a new rock crawler build with radio and all the good trimmings. A tad over 1,450.
This brings flash back when I meme you with a burrito and tacos on your Facebook 🤣🤣🤣🌯🌮🌯🌮
Brett it’s always a pleasure watching your builds! I’m new to Team Associated and I’m really liking the quality. I just finished building my SC6.2 and I’m already looking at a next build possibly one of these all wheel drive jammies. 😎🤙🏽 on a side note can you do a video on how to adjust the slipper?
Hey Andrew. Glad you're enjoying the videos! For the slipper, we have an older video on that, here: ua-cam.com/video/gSmHEnj71mw/v-deo.html
-Brett
cool video ,
I have wanted this buggy since it cane out last year, never could give up the $550. But I see the newer model is 500, may have to get one.
Would love to see build series on the tlr 22x4 buggy. I have recently built 1 to compete against my lil brother running the b74.1. Still love the vids
Looks awesome. Still waiting for the sbr2.0 video.
I like watching these videos bc its prob my fav youtuber company and the scx 24 i got it really fun i ended up cutting off the front fenders and its really durable my team associated sc10 can run it over
Should do a Schumacher laydown or l1 Evo they are the true king of carpet.
Where could i buy the servo it says here that this is discontinud?
Pin front tires are always going be faster then wedges.
Dang, I blame your B6.2 series for convincing me to get that kit, can't let you do it again
Looks alot like a tekno sct410. Lol you smel the tires to. Haahaa bro.
What’s better for racing, Traxxas ultimate or Losi tenacity 4x4 sct
no heatshrink on the battery pins? looks really awesome otherwise
This is to expensive for me
Just built my one today. The binding issue is still present on the arms.
How do you mount the protek fans to chassis for motor and esc?
There is a fan mount included with the B74.1 and it secures to the rear spline.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies awesome thank you. Love the videos. Well done bud
Would the tires fit a rustler 2wd if not does anyone have a suggestion on race tires. Specifically dirt and clay track tires
Heck yeah they would fit! You wouldn't want these 2.2" buggy tires, you would want to shop for the 2.2" Stadium Truck Tires & Wheels: www.amainhobbies.com/search?cID=2340&s=2.2+stadium+truck
Notice on the left menu, you can filter from tires or wheels. You may want to find out what tire tread and rubber compound work best at your local track before spending money.
-Brett
Awesome build! Newbie here, and I have a question: @1:55 it looked like you were using a scale for something ... can you tell me what was going on there?!! Thanks!!
I really want to build a racing buggy but I'm just a basher with no track anywhere nearby so I don't have any legitimate purpose for one and they're soooo expensive. But I just want the experience of building one. I feel like it would be a super fun little project. Any recommendations on how to get this fix?
I need a budget 4wd carpet buggy
Team Associated B64
That is an awesome looking Buggy. Can't wait to see you get it on the track.
How much is the total cost of your set-up?
Its all free, he took everything of the shelf.
@@johnband3 LOL,
Yes for him, but what about us?
@@airguns_rc dude, look at the video description
Can you use Traxxas
parts for the electronics???
Sure, you thinking a Titan 550 and an XL-5 setup?
-Brett
How many teeth is the pinion gear that you used for the stock setup if using a 13.5 motor?
We've been using a 23 tooth pinion for 13.5T racing.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Thanks for the quick reply!
I really want to get a race buggy and start racing but I don’t know what to choose. My local track is clay, what would you recommend the b74.1d or the TLR 22x- 4
Tekno eb 410.2
Oh man. There are many 4WD buggy options out there. If this is your local track, checkout what buggies are popular in your area. If you get one of those, then it's easy to get setup help at the track, and find parts at your local hobby shop. It's a bummer to break at the track and you can't get buy new parts, and you can't borrow parts from the other racers.
-Brett
Please do a dual series on this a normal and a recommended budget version? Please would love to pros and cons of total investments
Meaning build one like this series but do another at same time and have the budget parts on one then race and compare for finally
Do you have a full list with possible part numbers difference between the b74.1 vs b74.1d or know of somewhere it’s posted?
No, but there are not that many parts needed; shock springs, pistons, sway bars and then Slipper or Center diff. The setup is completely different of course; shock fluid, diff fluid and so forth; but I believe that's about it.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thank you Brett. I got a decent deal on two b74.1 kits. I figured I would turn one into a b74.1d if it wasn’t too far priced. I would be set for both tracks, unfortunately I am just getting into racing after years of only backyard bashing.
@@ericmulcahey1 Nice, two cars are always better than one and you'll be set for both track types. Remember to have fun out there!
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thank you Brett. I was able to get a list with part numbers from Associated.
@@ericmulcahey1 That's great! Happy to hear that. Sorry I could not provide it.
-Brett
what size are the shocks eyelet to eyelet front and back? i want them for a different buggy.
Hey, is this David? We chatted in email about this.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies yep all good. thanks again.
I have the b74.1D and planning on running it on carpet, do you think it will race good with the center differential?
Sure but it may need thicker fluid with modified, but give it a try it first. I highly recommend you change your shock setup and sway bars. Good luck and have fun Austin.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thanks
@@austinhamilton07lbz Better question would be if the ball diffs are going to survive carpet
I wish I could get one of them
Quick question what is the difference between lihv and lipo ?
It has to do with how much you can charge the cells. LiHV is capable of charging to a higher voltage, thusly providing a little more power and punch. Mainly used for competition purposes because of their cost. A standard LiPo cell fully charges at 4.20V, most LiHV cells fully charge at 4.35V.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thx Brett also what wold happen if I drove a carpet buggy on hard clay
@@corbintinsley7656 It would work but might not perform it's best. Just depends on your setup, tires and how much traction that clay offers.
-Brett
Hey, that ESC is also discontinued, can I get one too then? ;) (Like the guy with the servo)
Hi if you remeber me i am the 8S slash ultimate guy should I buy this but if you have noticed none of my cars are stock and get the best upgrades for it or nah but i would need to get it in some time I am working on a new project to try to beat the work recorded
Dude, Punctuation really isn't your skill...
😎♥️👍💪🏾👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Will the b74 do well on an outdoor track with lose grip?
Yes, but you'd want the Dirt version, designated by the D at the end of the name. Currently, it would be the B74.2D; this is it: www.amainhobbies.com/team-associated-rc10b74.2d-team-1-10-4wd-offroad-electric-buggy-kit-asc90037/p1447397
The other version, B74.2 (non-D), is meant for high traction carpet and astro applications. The Dirt car on the other hand is of course for dirt tracks, clay tracks or any other low traction applications. Both cars can be swapped into the other by changing key parts; it's pretty easy, although not cheap.
Hope this helps you Cole.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies I just don’t think I’m ready to jump into 1/8 scale but I’ve got an outdoor track near my house
@@AMain_Hobbies I’m so torn between the b74 and the tekno!
@@colestaples2010 Touch choice! I'd recommend seeing which car is most popular at your track. If you get the same one, it's much easier to ask for tuning and setup help from the fast guys; otherwise, you're all on your own. Seeing which car has more parts available at your local shop is a good idea too.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies i decided to go with the b74 because I’ll have better part support at my clay track and my local track is lose outdoor. I wanted the Tekno really bad but I think the 74 will work a little better for my situation. I really want that Tekno though
One question:
Whys the carpet outside & theres no roof over it? 😳
It's all weather carpet meant for outdoors.
-Brett
Aight thank you for the answer, didnt know this exists, just got into 1:10th racing outdoors
Associated needs to come up with a stronger front shock tower. $20 a pop and they break constantly.
Would you consider a B5M competitive by todays standards for racing?
Yes, you bet. Competitive at the highest level, no. But the buggy is still an amazing performer and can hold it's own at the local circuit.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies okay cool 😎 thank you for the response!
I want to get back into RC after decades out of the game. I am looking for an electric car/truck, kit, something customizable/upgradeable but not this level of "pro". Any suggestions?
Congrats on wanting to get back into it, the selection of cars and different types is pretty wide. For kits that require assembly, most are meant for competition but Tamiya still offers kits for most of their cars, Traxxas offers a version of the Slash 2WD as a kit and then most trail trucks/rock crawlers can be found as kits. Most of the bashers or "just for fun" cars come as ready-to-run, but what type of car/driving do you have in mind?
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies OMG Brett thanks for your reply. I was even looking at the Slash. I am just looking for something to mostly build/modify and occasionally casual(spirited) drives in the school parking lot behind my house, or maybe get brave and hit the skate park around the corner. I don't have access to dirt but I like the idea of the toughness of a truck like the Slash. But I also really like the idea of having a road car, I have never owned one and love the looks of them. I will keep researching, thanks again!
@@StingrayOfficial Cool, I'm glad you were looking at the Slash. Of all the R/C's out there, none have more upgrades and accessories available than the Slash. You can even get on-road tires for it too, slam the suspension and make a pretty fun parking lot racer. It's a very versatile platform. Enjoy the journey and let us know if you need anything.
-Brett
can you do a dirt or clay race buggy?
We would if we had a dirt track, but our local track is carpet. Sorry.
-Brett
c est beau comme même😍
ma femme ne comprend pas
would you reveal the weight of that little monster?? cheers
Hey Omar, for the weights, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/jgKKhMlBM1Y/v-deo.html
We talk about the weight of the buggy and the take steps to lighten it up.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies after writing my comment I've watched part 2 🤦♂️....ahahaha. sorry guys 🤣🤣🤣
Man I’d like chad to teach me to install electronics
Should show actual build
just spend money and you are set.
I saw the aftermarket RX that was airtronics compatible and said F YES I dont have to buy $50 airtronics Rx anymore maybe I wont sell my TX. come to find out the aftermarket RX is 70 fu$king dollars.
Second
Cringing a bit at 8:10. There is a channel built into the front spine that will fit your ESC and Fan wires. Tape on heatshrink has a tendency to fail.
Hello I’m second
What’s good Chris
First
ok
ok
