thanks my friend!! Right now, I'm an entertainer with a cold!! DAMN!!! And it's getting cold out here in NYC, gonna get tougher to do outside videos soon. I am now planning on towing my own car with this, IT has already been done, but you will never guess which car I will tow, I guarantee you will be surprised.
hey man!! thanks!! Did you see the first few videos where I removed the chair drive cover on the side of the truck and showed the chain drive system. I might open it up again and inspect it to see if anything changed. I'll also be inspecting the inside of the cylinder and spark plug again, since I'm upto around one month of ownership on this.
@@hybrid32494 yeah it is always a good idea to check on the drive train after alot of running it will be a fun truck to take apart to see how it holds up and how to fix everything
Great video bro! Top work on the beach cleanup, I run fishing charters here in nz so appreciate the time looking after our waterfronts around the world! You live in a beautiful little piece of the world!
hey bro!, yup, he's the man!! When he isn't chassis bunnies or groundhogs around, he helps me wrench on the primal. I need to find a small wagon that I can tie up to the truck and put him in it for a ride.
You should see if your primal can pull that tugboat rope!!! Awesome job cleaning up the bay!!! I love the footage of your commute. Great video brother!!!
ahaha, whats up my dude!! That would have been a great idea actually. But I didn't have my primal truck with me that morning, had to park far away and didn't wanna leave it in the car. I will attempt to take some footage during a normal commute on a weekday, it's so crowded I sometimes cannot get on the train.
whats up bro!! I'm glad you watched that far into the video, lol. My typical view duration is around 4 minutes of the total video length. What's yours? And ye, I don't only drive a PRIUS so I can be smug, lol, I've always done stuff to make an impact. thanks!!!
@@philthyco1 I guess people don't like my stuff as much as I do, ahaha. You know what they say, If you don't love yourself and your videos first, then nobody else will either!!! ahaha.
you should do an episode of your favorite pizza spot or pizza tour. The rest of us always wonder about local pizza on the east coast not just the tourist spots.
hey man, your new toy is huge. fantastic video and fun to watch all the action of this new beats in the RC world ... I have a small question can I use 7.4-volt battery in the 1/5th scale gasoline RC? instead of 6 volt battery without any voltage regulator i saw some videos where people are using and after that there servo's are working quite fast and accurate
hey my friend!! You can use a LIPO with a low discharge like a 5C rated one, usually sold for receiver systems. Losi has a good one that most people use and Some other brands too. The only issue you could have is I am pretty sure the servos on our ROVAN Bajas are not High Voltage servos, it could eventually burn them out. Although I would say the chances of that are low, you could safely use the lipos.
Kinda cool you have a new back drop and anylazing the foams and tires.... You do a video a week doing parts of a rc specific then one mid week running em or something nice seeing a couple vids a week
I try to do 2-3 a week, with various components, you know. This week I am falling behind because I had alot of overtime at work. In reality I could do a video every day if I wanted, but it would be total CRAP. The goal is synergy, to incorporate things I already do into some RC related stuff, thats the tough part.
hey bro!!! Yep, I saw the firmer foams on the site, I realized they were some upgrade ones because they were not serrated like the ones in our model right now. I think the ones we have are ideal, because they provide a lot of cushion for that tight metal suspension, just like in a real monster jam truck. I tried to get that point across in this video.
hybrid32494 absolutely 100% agree bro! I like the foams and I wont be changing mine out! I want to keep mine as much like a Monster Jam truck as possible because thats what Dan intended this to be a scaled down real deal MT!! 🤝⛽️⛽️⛽️
totally agree. The soft wheels are probably my favorite feature of this. Gotta watch your videos soon, been too busy lately. I'm also not going to lower the suspension like many people did, no point in that.
100th like for you my brother!! Holly fkng shit that RC is huge, this is one of those "making history" moments in the RC culture, Rovan has def made a statement, years of getting bashed on for creating some awesome rc's or some say "Clones" lol they HAD to make a comeback and shut all the haters off lol Well done Rovan and what a great way to share this my dude! thanks man good work keep up the energy!
whats up brother!! I watched your baja video, good work!! BTW, I attempted to take it out again off-camera, and I realized it was a bad idea. The foam is pretty soft, I didn't want to risk ripping it.
@@hybrid32494 right. That would be a crazy head ache i made some hard baja wheels before using brp and sheesh if you want a good baja wheel that holds up hostile. But yes i seen thank you man appreciate it !!
whats up bro!! I heard they will be selling a new body for this truck eventually. I personally really don't care about the body on any RC, only because for me it's nothing more than protection for the chassis. But thats me, you know.
I agree I will most likely buy one mostly based on the paper towel that’s sitting on the kitchen counter and I actually like the dodge body without the raminator stickers. . My coffee table is 30wide by 48 long and I imagine an RC that big
hey bro!!, YEP, thats what I was thinking exactly. I bet I could get some and roll it up just like it currently is in that tire right now, would be interesting to see any differences.
@@hybrid32494 do they sell just the bead lock rings anywhere online for primal wheels? I'd love to get the measurements on them we have a family machine shop buisness I wish mind taking a crack at making some metal bread lock rings for that. If you know where I can find measurement info please let me know. 👍
@@theirishaxe9405 I know that primal does offer some chrome ones, I've seen EASTSIDE RC get those when he baught his. The only issue I can think would happen with metal rings is they would cut into the tire sidewall and eventually rip through. Believe it or not, those redcat rampage wheels use a terrible deadlock design that cut about half the tire and now I have rips in the wheels. So there must be a reason why plastic is generally used.
whats up NORM!! I though I was onto a good idea, with making my own foams to try out in the future!!! I didn't think people actually did that, you the man!! The foam in this thing is some of the softest I've ever felt, and I'm first to do it!!! Just like I was first to stick a GoPro on my primal MT and record some chassis/axle shots, I beat RCSPARK!!
@@hybrid32494 haha yeah you did haha he had customs issues.... Oh yeah man I use universal air conditioner filter foam and fold it up into 3-4 layers 3 for black top 4 for dirt.... Hard foams suck you spin the tires so easy.
@@norm1233 bro, I didn't know this was an actually thing, I was literally making a joke, ahaha. Glad you schooled me!! I agree, I love these soft foams inside the tires. No wonder I hated the redcat wheels, the foams are super tough in those. I think with even softer foam we could make a really realistic crawler video with this truck.
@@hybrid32494 I'll get some pics tomorrow of the packs of foam I buy, what they look like when I'm done and how good they squash and post pics on imgur and post links here.... Super soft foams hook up so good
I'm an auditor, so basically finance/accounting. Used to be a tax auditor a few years ago. This was a Saturday and I was just wearing my typical street clothes. Normally the subways on regular days are so crowded that I can't even get on the train.
LOL, yes, that is 100% true. Although In reality if it's not me driving the gas truck, it would have been somebody else. So im basically at a break ever on that, lol. Plus my prius is about 100% more fuel efficient than any other 4-cylinder car, so I'm still really ahead.
What's wrong with the nitro cars??? If you think that using battery power is somehow better for the environment than that tiny nitro motor you need to do some research.
American capitalizim can of budweiser lol.. IT was until InBEv bought them out lol Great video you do some good for the community... Who's apt was that in the first half.. That background sure didnt match your style.. Looked like grand parents or parents maybe? 8-) Thumbs up bud
Better off comparing this to something other than a traxxas. Tamiya Clodbuster was the original RC monster truck. Guess what tires it has. The exact 1/10 scale version of Bigfoot
whats up man!! you are 100% right, I usually compare to HPI or Traxxas only because those were the first hobby grade RC's I had when I was growing up. The tamiyas are about 10 years before my time. I do own a lunch box though, and its one of my favorites. Actually the designer of this truck told me he owns a real original clod buster to this day and did when he first got into this hobby in the 80's, and you can tell this truck is literally ya scaled up clod buster with a gas engine. Also a monster JAM style truck too.
Whoa Carl is one of your favorite viewers? 😭😭😭😭😭 I thaught we had something going on here😢😢😢 Edit: theirs no king of beers they all stink and taste like shit.
TRUE, all beer is shit!! I agree. It's pointless. I don't drink, just because it's pointless. Unless there is a toast or something like that. I seriously question the honestly of people who say they like the taste of beer, must just be lying. haha,
whats up man!!! I work around that area too, a little more uptown though. Greeting to another NYC brap brother!!! BTW, I eat from one of the halal carts in that area once a week.
@@hybrid32494 Greetings, I do work around the area, but unfortunately I'll don't eat around there. They send me uptown every day. You might call it, a working lunch.
lucky for us we can find a HALAL cart in NYC anywhere. I generally just get chicken and salad, without rice. I hate spending money on food btw, i'd rather spend on RC, as you can tell, lol.
what I need is a ramp. I could find some baseball fields and use the dirt mounds as jumps, like I did with my T-maxx, but those jumps are uncontrolled and I will seriously risk the primal. A ramp would be better. Gotta build one soon.
whats up man!! I totally would, if the suspension did not bottom out. But, don't worry, I will come up with some way of getting it to drive me around soon. one way or another
This video is exactly the reason I watch you. You are not just another RC guy, you are really an entertainer! 👌😍😎👍👍

Thank you man...great job by cleaning up 🤝🏾💪🏾
hey man!! thanks so much!!
Very informative video as always a very well built tire and rim can't wait to see it you take apart the diffs to see how the gears look
hey man!! thanks!! Did you see the first few videos where I removed the chair drive cover on the side of the truck and showed the chain drive system.

hey bro!, yup, he's the man!! When he isn't chassis bunnies or groundhogs around, he helps me wrench on the primal. I need to find a small wagon that I can tie up to the truck and put him in it for a ride.
Memory foam in the primal mt hell yeah
hey bro!! I know, I was super surprised when I saw that myself. That's why I lead the RC investigator team, ahaha. jK>
