👋😂👌I’m Lmfao! That motor looks like it could power a Prius! That’s insane!😂👍great stuff Matt! By the way that is a nice color combination!👌😎👍that’s a nice little rig! Looks like an old fj cruiser! Love the looks of that yellow toyojeep! Crawler!
Looking forward to the “how to pack” video - I’m always bringing several RCs in the bed of my pickup (with tools and spare parts etc) and never sure how to secure them best.
Awesome. I'm curas to how you pack your RC's for plane travels. I've been flying with mine for a few years now. Curious to see what new tricks I can learn from.
I use the Proline bag($60) for my crawler and I place it in the overhead compartment. Then just put the wheels/tires and radio in a backpack by my feet.
I can't wait to see what you guy's come up with on those Vanquish Phoenix Rockets!! Start with a Flux Capacitor, and build around that,,, "that's all I can tell you"🤫😂🤣
I like that idea of how to pack for a trip, heading back to Canada i got a few rigs i need to bring back to T.O. so ill be definitely paying attention to your tips
Great video man. You had a well deserved break. But still made sure we saw something. That motor and esc is HUGE and awesome. Can't wait to see the mayhem builds hahaha I really like that Marlin build you did. I just ordered a ierc v2 merge chassis kit with sliders amd angled skid for my ecto build. Pretty exited. Also have a line on a brazin scale c1 chassis. For something.... hahaha. Maybe the origin... Anywho It was fun seeing you and Josh having all that fun out there. Great stuff. 😎👍👍
Mesh is so important on the 5th scale stuff, you will melt a spur gear if it's not right. We always used to use a business card instead of paper with way more success.
Hey Matt . I've been into RC Crawling since it became popular and RC anything for about 30 years.. I have to admit You have the best channel and show In You Tube Land. Just bought the VS4-10.. SO..maybe I'll be able to build the same Phoenix your about to build I trust your opinion so ill emulate ya since your a rc guru. I did get the F10 str8 axle version. So do this show asap..lol Great Video Thanks 😊 👍. Nice knife joke.. 🔪
You should go back, I've already done content on the straight axled Phoenix! Unless you're talking about our Mayhem challenge, then, you'll have to wait until after October 31st!
Get some AS150 connectors. They're anti spark so you don't pucker up every time it sparks lol. Was going to recommend QS8 but Castle recommends 150A + continuous connectors. QS8 are rated at 110A I think, they'll probably be just fine but I like to err on the side of caution.
As a suggestion use qs8 connectors there 8mm and u can get them in anti spark is a big plus and also on the battery the xlx can pull massive amps and connectors get hot even with castle's recommended plugs also the 800 Cann handle massive gear I like to keep my Temps around or below 160 to prolong the investment even if it was free I sold a arm for mine just giving some helpful advice with the experience I had hope find useful and keep up great work and have a great day.
That VS4-10 chassis looks veeeeery wide! Can't wait to see what you guys are up to. Also please tell your contacts at HPI to get a move on, I want that Baja :D
the castle connectors will work flawlessly with that setup. I've been running them for years and have had zero issues. Get the castle cap pack. prevent any "browning" issues. Be ready to destroy those rear tires!! you have been warned. lol
Just watched this, and I was struck with a video idea that you can have for free! LOL, I am building the VS410 straight axle kit, ( I love it, it's awesome) A tutorial on how to install e-clips would be pretty helpful. Spent a good chunk of yesterday trying to get the shock shafts together. Vanquish provided a grand total of 2 extra clips. So I had a fun time chasing clips that had been launched around the room,. they are also stainless steel, which are not ferrous and can bend easily. Just curious as to how you (and Josh) deal with this.
Quick thought, maybe the Baja can be suspended center up high with hooks angled down or on the wall showing its monstrosity. Not ever just till it gets dirty. Idk just a thought. Nice color choice. 👍
The paint needs to be specific to polycarbonate bodies or it will do that. Proper cleaning before painting is a must as well.Warm soap and a towel to remove any residue. Thanks for watching!
@@scalebuildersguild I use tamiya PS paint. But I don’t do any prep. Will have to try that! Maybe I’ll try the paint that you used in this video as I am from Ontario as well!
@@cameronlogan01 Another tip. Get a dish cleaning sponge that has a side of rough fibers and use that side to clean the body. Just lightly apply pressure when cleaning. That will scuff up the lexan to give the paint something to bite into.
Well, I’m sure you must have put a a link in one of your videos, we’ve heard so often “I made this knife”, and now I have to get one so I can tell people “You know I made this knife!” So I can share in the fun…
You better never let that "I built this Knife " speech get old. You've kept it for this long it just gets better in my opinion. If you forget once and a while edit that s**t in! It's understandable. 😆 🤣 I promise you I'll unsub jk
is there a way you can talk with axial to tell them to stop coming out with Jeeps😂 and at least make a 1989 3500 series diesel Suburban Square body tribute LOL, you know how fast those would sell because everyone is always trying to customize a truck to be an old school Suburban and not like the Vanterra body that was ugly 🤣
The knife thing is getting old. Pretty soon it should be funny again. Then it will be hilarious and than just a fact of life. HPI paint scheme look like another winner.
Hi Matt! It would be very helpful if you can make a ”how to paint a lexan body” airbrush tips and tricks, how to mask up a body. Thx / Sam @scalebuilder_sweden

Matt,
Good idea with the " How I travel/pack with RC'" is excellent. We would (family) like to travel with the RC stuff.
Stay tuned!
That joke may never get old but it’s become a little dull. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I’ll be here all week folks!!
😂
Congrats on your plastic vindication! Seriously, looking forward to the Baja ripping it up! Glad Cali was a great trip!
Always cool/fun talking to you and Josh. And thank you for signing my Pro-Line/light-bar hat.
Really like the VS4-10 Toyota.
Great talking to you too!
Love the paint scheme for the Baja Matt. The buggy has a bit of an F1 look to it so I think your choice is great.
I think so too!
Coming together nicely, can’t wait to see the build complete
The knife bit gets better everytime
Glad you like it! I get mixed reviews!
@@scalebuildersguild yeah mixed review from me.
Liking your colour choice for the 5B 👍🏼
Thank you!
Qs8 antispark connectors is what u wanna use
That castle motor is a beast, I run one in my Xmaxx with a Hobbywing Max5 esc. You’ll have lots of fun with it!
Thanks, good to know!
Super stoked that you're doing an homage to the OG Baja 5B. Can't wait to see it done and running.
Coming soon!
really like what you're doing for paint scheme and color on the Baja.
Thank you!
Glad you had a fun holidays and enjoyed the Proline event. Stay RAD Matt and stoked to see that Baja out there 🙌.
Thanks! Will do!
Hey Matt, put that Castle motor in the Phoenix!! Instant WIN if it stays together. 😆
😂
Still a favorite buggy of mine the Glamis Uno from Vaterra. This just looks like a much larger version and I cannot wait to own one.
👋😂👌I’m Lmfao! That motor looks like it could power a Prius! That’s insane!😂👍great stuff Matt! By the way that is a nice color combination!👌😎👍that’s a nice little rig! Looks like an old fj cruiser! Love the looks of that yellow toyojeep! Crawler!

I like the colors. Glad your going og like
Wow look forward to see this running awesome motor and ESC 🤩👍🚴🏅

Thanks for the gear mesh tip!
You bet!
can't wait for the first run in the re-issued HPI Baja 5B!
Great video man. You had a well deserved break.
But still made sure we saw something.
That motor and esc is HUGE and awesome.
Can't wait to see the mayhem builds hahaha
I really like that Marlin build you did.
I just ordered a ierc v2 merge chassis kit with sliders amd angled skid for my ecto build.
Pretty exited.
Also have a line on a brazin scale c1 chassis.
For something.... hahaha. Maybe the origin...
Anywho
It was fun seeing you and Josh having all that fun out there.
Great stuff.
😎👍👍
Thanks! Good luck with the ecto build!
WOW That's some MOT and ESC 🇬🇧🇨🇦🕊️✌🏼
Missed you at PLBTF. Maybe I can make it to next years, but who knows.
Mesh is so important on the 5th scale stuff, you will melt a spur gear if it's not right. We always used to use a business card instead of paper with way more success.
Thanks for the tip!
That motor is like the size of a beer can, almost.
Great episode! Wondering why a sensored motor for the go fast buggy, just the only option for something that size?
It's the only option, I would assume! Thanks for watching!

Really hoping one of you makes a long nitro funny car style phoenix.
I love that knife you made. 👍
or assembled it……..
😂
Will that fit in a hugger (coozie) 🤣. Can't wait to see that throw dirt
😂
What pinion and spur combo are you using.
I would watch you just talking about rcs even when there's nothing on the bench :D Oh wait, that happens on wednesdays :D
😂
It would have been comical to set an SCX24 next to that motor. Lol

Thanks for the tip, I went with Castle.
Stickers makes it go FASTER
YES!
That McLaren Singapore/Japan livery is gonna be sweet.
That VS4-10 chassis looks veeeeery wide! Can't wait to see what you guys are up to.
Also please tell your contacts at HPI to get a move on, I want that Baja :D
I'll see what I can do! 😂
@@scalebuildersguild Much appreciated :D
Need a scale sticker... "I made this truck... well I assembled it anyway"
Good idea! 😂
Holy shit balls that's a big motor!
😁👌
Knife joke never gets old
You may have lost the truck push but at least you didn't crush a child's soul in the process.
The Castle 6.5mm polarized connectors will be the best choice. 200 amp capacity and you will never have to share your batteries with Josh again. 😂
the castle connectors will work flawlessly with that setup. I've been running them for years and have had zero issues. Get the castle cap pack. prevent any "browning" issues. Be ready to destroy those rear tires!! you have been warned. lol

All I use is a small set of pliers and patience!

Quick thought, maybe the Baja can be suspended center up high with hooks angled down or on the wall showing its monstrosity. Not ever just till it gets dirty. Idk just a thought. Nice color choice. 👍
Good idea! Thanks for watching!
Hello my Friend !, little...Big Tip !, connect the Controller Fan so that it always runs ! ! !
Already done! Thanks for the tip!
Love the channel!
Thank you!
Plot twist: the 5th scale setup is for the mayhem and Matt is buildimg a special transmission to keep the weight low.
😂
I wonder if i can get that esc mount plate for my original Baja that I converted to electric I don't like the mount plate I made
I'm sure they'll offer all parts once they do the initial run. Thanks for watching!
Free Gas motor plates for all Flux owners......🤔
You could turn it into a knife?
Looks great Matt! Just checking in from FL. How fast do you think it will be? My guess is 50.
50 would be a lot for the Baja, but who knows!
Gear down and use a max4 Hobbywing esc and run 12s. It’ll blow you away
We were all flashed. LOL If pause can make out little of what it was.
You won't gain much knowledge from that amount of blur!
No I didn't. So what was it?
@@JESchnake you’ll have to wait, like everyone else.
Can't wait till your next video. I always enjoy them.
BAJA update - Zac mertens Hoonigan
800kv soda can!
Looks like an 8oz. can of 7UP.
Hpi paint job on the Baja man...
Should I go with the 800kV system in my 5B or the 1100kV?
Can someone explain the pros and cons of both?
Thanks
800kv. 1100 would be far too spicy on 8S in my opinion. Actually, 6S at 800kv is perfect.
@@scalebuildersguild thanks!
But the important question
Can you wedge that motor in an SCX24
😂
That motor and 8s should spin 2 wheels ok i suppose.
What foams would you recommend for the toyo tires?
Crawler Innovations. Thanks for watching!
Damn! Big as a soda can
hello, what servo from reef's did you get please?
The 5th scale one they make: Beast 1000. Thanks for watching!
Hey man the knife joke …. Yeah it’s old… but that the point right? 🤔
Yep.... it's an oldie, but a goody!
Hopefully hpi make a conversion kit from gas to electric my 2stroke 5b is just to loud for the area I live in
They told me they were going to release all the parts to do it!
About knife . you talked about it already 😉
And I'll keep talking about it! 😂
How do you get your paint to stick? I’ve been having issues with mine after racing. It’s like cracking and flaming off the body

Since you have a steam powered RC, how about a ducted fan RC? Its even sort of scale because people have put jet engines on cars and trucks.
I tried that back with the flying cars challenge! Thanks for watching!
No dont do it, Noooo pink, you'll rune it. Any color but pink for this beast.
Too late! 😂
🤙awesome
That's What She Said 🤣😂😂 bwhahaa 🤯👈
This all I could think as he said that a few times. Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Where did you get the KNIFE KIT?

@@scalebuildersguild mixed reviews are a good thing in my opinion. You just do what YOU enjoy.
@Scale Builder's Guild and you got another knife. So cool. Happy new years to you guys.
Tiny hands always makes things look bigger.
Make sure you let me know when you send me the Baja so I can be on the look out for it. I would hate to see porch pirates get it.
😂 I'll keep you updated.

I was like number 69 yup its going to be a great day
Have a great day!
Rainy day? You mean give away.

I think you overestimate the power I have! 😂 But, I agree a Suburban Square would be pretty cool!
I could add AWD to my Nissan Leaf with that motor.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Disregard my last comment regarding the motor mounts, I see what you did there, I won't tell if you wont...👍😎

I've done a few videos in the past where I paint lexan, definitely search them out! There's a big portion in the 24hrs of Mayhem challenge.
That's a nice knife, did you make it yourself?
