Gerry man so great see you hear ya! Man since got back into body work been so busy and very little time for Rc!! Hope you and your family is great ❤!! What beautiful new child you have ❤❤❤ god bless you sir!😊
Big fan of Shut the hell up! Needs to be heard by so many people these days right! I have had a used SCX10 ll which a used hard body as my main rig for the last 14 and have just retired it so big fan. And now I am starting with an SCX10 III Bronco and it is getting a new hard body to be my new daily driver so we will see how it works out. RC Dungeon is a friend and his video style is the best. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.
Glad to see Let it Fly back in action! Even though it doesn’t specifically apply to any of the topics of the day here, I’ve been getting some comments and attention that have been grinding my gears a bit. I’ve got people pissing and moaning about my General Lee Ecto videos… people who obviously haven’t ever watched the Dukes Of Hazzard tv show. What really gets me is these people that cry about the flag want everyone to move on from the “civil war era issues”, yet those same people are legitimately the only people that keep bringing the topic up. The Dukes of Hazzard was legitimately a wholesome show that never once promoted any sort of hatred towards anyone. It is tough trying to defend one of the greatest shows/cars of all time, when the people who are carrying the torches and pitchforks are absolutely brainwashed into touting hatred, while crying about all the hatred. I’m not one to usually let people get under my skin, but I’ve been defending this car for as long as I can remember, with no avail. It is a toy car “replica” of a famous tv show car that is only meant to bring joy, entertainment, and a sense of nostalgia. Nothing more, nothing less… can’t we all just get along, watch the rooster tails, and enjoy seeing this beauty take flight?! There’s my Friday rant, hope ya have a great weekend man!
Wholesome doesn't work anymore unless it fulfills a agenda, these woke people live in their own little worlds and are crazy! That's what I love about alaska, I could drive around with the confederate flag waving on my truck and people would ask what part of the south are you from?
Let it fly on friday's HURRAY !!!!!!!. Love the content, love the dogs , they make me smile 😁 . I just pre ordered the fms 10th scale lc80 Toyota, hope it's as good as the K5. Awesome video Gerry 👌
Love to see Axial adding in the scale details! What is there to bitch about?! People just don’t get the fact that cross compatibility is key with any manufacturing line. Cars aren’t all new platforms each year… why would RCs? 😅 Personally I like when a line/platform stays around a long time. Shows it’s tried and true and well supported on the aftermarket. I actually don’t like the fast pace of all new platforms. Hell, give us time to enjoy what we bought before you make us feel like it’s the “old” model guys! (RC companies) -Cheers, glad to see you back I action!!
Thank you and totally agree! I kinda like what element is doing by mixing up the features on the new rigs they release. Just like what we might do building rigs from bits!
@@gerrysoldguyreview and RC4WD now adding in all the upgrades out of the box that we so often do. Much more and without a price jump. Hell, Traxxas knows what’s up. TRX4 line is a solid contender for longevity as well. I know a lot of people don’t like the company, but the trucks are pretty bullet proof (minus electronics). My biggest problem with the hobby… well not really “with” the hobby… is that I want too many releases!!! A true affliction!
Some advice on the Vanquish S8E shocks, some of the rtr shocks leak like crazy, what i did was buy the S8E rebuild kit and immediately rebuild them from the factory, although i fidnt do it on the optic i also havent driven it the way i have my phoenix and ultra. The ultra had the double adjustable shocks and i couldn't get them to feel right so i changed to dravs, but the phoenix ive had it almost 2 years and haven't messed with the shocks yet i occasionally check fluid but after i did the initial rebuild theyve never leaked. I think its a good thing axial is giving the customers a variety of vehicles especially ghe CJ7 do i still wish theyd offer the 10.2 3 piece axle kit and 10.3 straight axle conversion yes but i also understand the market too, thats why i scour the Internet for stuff and swap meets. Small channels like you and hello and ez actually regularly interact with fans thats what makes me drawn to yall. Plus EZ is in the Carolinas and so am i so i always support the "locals" i like your videos because we have similar views on parts i dont care where it comes from used or new but ill use it at some point. Thats whats driving me to start a channel soon is my love for the hobby and getting to know people
Thanks Jacob 😁 we always do want more, but it would be nice for company's to give a little more for free to get our business 😀 like axial used to do with the rtr and kit coming out at the same time.
@gerrysoldguyreview axial needs to release more trail truck kits, like they used to with the OG and 10.2. Id like to see variety come back like the wraith 1.9 etc. I enjoy the fact we got a CJ-7 although it's a little large. I miss being able to buy axial parts like the 3 piece 10.2 axles now it's all single piece. The 10.3 straight axle swap kit was great when it came out for the price, although I get it with the pro axles being basically the exact same why they discontinued that kit. Axial has been up and down since horizon got them
You know, I love watching let it fly. That is a beautiful husky. If that's what he is. Lol My wife and I just celebrated our seventeenth anniversary yesterday.It was a great day.
@@gerrysoldguyreview thanks it was a blast to build this one. I really miss Traxxas builders kits they are so enjoyable to put together. I called mine White Walker.
Great video buddy! Thanks for the shoutout. I love the idea of getting an SCX10 III BaseCamp. I am tempted. Keep up the great work and entertaining videos.
Hey brother, I love your content. Friday mornings are enjoyable with your rants, while I putz around in my 4C(Crawlers, Cars, Coffee, Cannabis) Hobby Space. I'd love to hear more about the tan 4Runner and see it on some hardpack snowbanks.
Do you have to check your trails for doggy landmines (you know what I mean) before you run your trucks? You wouldn't want any wheel damage. I always check our yard before a run.
I'm getting behind right now. I've been spending all of our money and working on our house. We just got a new roof put on. Now it's time to upgrade some windows and paint the inside. And i'm trying to do it all on my time off of work. And haven't had much spare time for videos. But I need a break.
Great let it fly, unfortunately the "M" generation want something new and different weekly or they're not happy 😂 I would love to see some run footage of the cr12 Tioga almost bought one a dozen times but no aftermarket bodies for it😢 appreciate ya and thanks for sharing.
Yeah, Mr. Jerry we are thunderstorms this kinda weird. In Nebraska, usually we're talking about that. 4 letter word by this time of the year. Thank s 4 the look around your room
Awesome video. Thanks for the recognition again. I appreciate it. I’m really considering the new Base Camp at $320. In the future I’d love to see the Blue Trx4 Sport on Traxx out in some snow. Thanks for taking the time to make videos. They’re fun and create engagement with your followers. Keep it up.
Haven't seen the Brat in action lately 😢 My Diane is well deserving of a shout-out all the way from AK! She helps me film sometimes. She scouts areas to trail or crawl with our dogs for me all the time! Good times!
Laugh my head off at 'thats a huge piece a shiii...' Thats exactly what a dude said to me when I showed up with a Tamiya at a Team Associated dominated local track my first time out in the 80s. Haha. So funny, the hobby is better these days. Nice Video
You can sand and paint 3d printed parts. But there is a limit with sanding. Normal all day used Pla (plastic to print) cannot stand uv light and rain a lot but it's a pain to sand. Sanding heats the print up so go slow and steady. To paint, prime it with a universal primer and go from there. But 3d prints have thin walls normally so you can't take much off. That truck bed you held up? Start with 180 or 200 grid and watch out how far you go. There are loads of types of plastics that can stand uv and rain, but they all come whit there own printing settings and problems.
I wanna see that purple bronco, on the very back shelf. I have seen some online that are rather cheap that I've been thinking about buying. I don't know if the one you have is the Tamiya, or the one I'm thinking of.
Great video Gerry!!! Thanks for the motivation lol! ie not a Y lol😂 That is correct. I'm still hanging around just losing the love for creating content. Thanks for including Rc Dungeon Gerry much appreciated 🙏
Still watching, but horizon hobby bought FMS summer 2023. Now you say axial is now manufacturing in China and I just got word from FMS that they are making moves for PHYSICAL STORE SALES. I'm still here Gerry, I'll send a FB message.
It did out of the box, but I trimmed the servo using the instruction manuel. The book is layer out weird but full of helpful info for all this digital witchcraft!🤣🤣
Great Friday talk. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you! You too!
Gerry man so great see you hear ya! Man since got back into body work been so busy and very little time for Rc!! Hope you and your family is great ❤!! What beautiful new child you have ❤❤❤ god bless you sir!😊
Welcome back evin! Good to hear from you!

@ right. Alaska has always been on my bucket list. I’ve visited/worked in almost every other state, but Alaska was the one that got away.
@DRZ-RC still time don't do anything tourist like just fly in and drive around!
@ definitely not. My big life goal has always been to get up north in the tundra and go caribou hunting.
Small potatoes and they taste like crap! Go big and bag a delicious moose!😏😏

From what I hear horizon spreads out the brands with no overlap so alot of models don't have alot of support
You know, I love watching let it fly. That is a beautiful husky. If that's what he is. Lol
My wife and I just celebrated our seventeenth anniversary yesterday.It was a great day.
That is awesome! Happy anniversary! My wife and I celebrated 17 this summer! And yes yowie is a pure bred huskey

Do you have to check your trails for doggy landmines (you know what I mean) before you run your trucks? You wouldn't want any wheel damage. I always check our yard before a run.
🤣🤣 actually John I don't, they never mine the trails. I pick up daily and most times it's like they try and hide it!
Also the wife sais thanks for the shoutout, she watches sometimes too.
She is very welcome!
I'm getting behind right now. I've been spending all of our money and working on our house. We just got a new roof put on. Now it's time to upgrade some windows and paint the inside. And i'm trying to do it all on my time off of work. And haven't had much spare time for videos.

Nice thing about the south, I can only do inside work now! Will be doing some painting myself this weekend!
Yay let fly Friday. Love this channel and show
Thanks buddy!
Nice🔥👍🏾💯
Thanks 💯
Great let it fly, unfortunately the "M" generation want something new and different weekly or they're not happy 😂 I would love to see some run footage of the cr12 Tioga almost bought one a dozen times but no aftermarket bodies for it😢 appreciate ya and thanks for sharing.
Agreed buddy! I will try my best with the cr12 misplaced the charger and it has an odd battery but will see if my big charger will work
Awesome Let it Fly Friday, also appreciate the shop tour….hope you and the pups have a great weekend 🤙
Thanks! You too!
Yeah, Mr. Jerry we are thunderstorms this kinda weird. In Nebraska, usually we're talking about that. 4 letter word by this time of the year. Thank s 4 the look around your room
We have been pretty warm with sprinkles of snow this week
Awesome video. Thanks for the recognition again. I appreciate it. I’m really considering the new Base Camp at $320.
In the future I’d love to see the Blue Trx4 Sport on Traxx out in some snow.
Thanks for taking the time to make videos. They’re fun and create engagement with your followers. Keep it up.
Traxx it is and thank you!
Hey❤

Awaome let it fly! It may be time to blow the dust off that 6x unimog and watch it tackle the snow
Thanks! No dust has been running the trails all summer, have been doing some tweaking to it
Haven't seen the Brat in action lately 😢 My Diane is well deserving of a shout-out all the way from AK! She helps me film sometimes. She scouts areas to trail or crawl with our dogs for me all the time! Good times!
Since my Diane doesn't do any rc with me, your Diane will get a huge shout!!😁😁 and I actually was giving the brat a once over just the other day!
First time watcher just subscribed, love it!!!
Welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Laugh my head off at 'thats a huge piece a shiii...' Thats exactly what a dude said to me when I showed up with a Tamiya at a Team Associated dominated local track my first time out in the 80s. Haha. So funny, the hobby is better these days. Nice Video
True story! Mine was a tamiya at a kyosho track!🤣🤣 so I drove dirty!

I wanna see that purple bronco, on the very back shelf. I have seen some online that are rather cheap that I've been thinking about buying. I don't know if the one you have is the Tamiya, or the one I'm thinking of.
It's a tamiya CC01 did a driving video with it about 4 months ago
Great video Gerry!!! Thanks for the motivation lol! ie not a Y lol😂 That is correct. I'm still hanging around just losing the love for creating content. Thanks for including Rc Dungeon Gerry much appreciated 🙏
You got this! I was feeling the same way last month, the break was good for me
The weather man even stated we may have some severe Thunderstorm And surrounding area? How about that?Uh , traxxas tracks machine great in the snow
Traxx it is! And no rain guarantee!🤣
Still watching, but horizon hobby bought FMS summer 2023. Now you say axial is now manufacturing in China and I just got word from FMS that they are making moves for PHYSICAL STORE SALES. I'm still here Gerry, I'll send a FB message.
Thanks bud!
Could you make a vid about painting camo if you don't have an airbrush?
Yes sir!😁
My wife is very tolerant of my hobby/ addiction 😂. Her name is Diana.
Awesome 👌 my wife is also a Diana but goes by Diane
Does your fcx10 have any problems with the shift from 4x4 to 4x2 ?
It did out of the box, but I trimmed the servo using the instruction manuel. The book is layer out weird but full of helpful info for all this digital witchcraft!🤣🤣

No problem!😁
