So cool that you have the speed run passion, Mads! I absolutely LOVE this creation of yours! And proud to see "Leftfield Thinking" proudly displayed on the body... and what an awesome body it is too! If this was judged on looks I'd vote you for the win! Great start with 34 McKPH. Now do that in McMPH. I think brushless is the way to go, brushed motors just get way too hot when you ramp up the gearing. Wishing you well, mate! :D
Thanks Mark! Yes, I sort of burned out with the build, it took forever, so it was a big relief that it runs pretty nicely... I think from what I have seen in videos, it's much less nervous in the steering than with the motor weight on the rear... We'll see what happens when I up the speeds, see how long it takes before first damages... Happy you like my slammed Squash Van, he he, I figured I need to provide at least some sort of entertainment, since I won't be competitive, he he... Have a great weekend there, mate!
I love this build, Mads. The FWD setup is a very cool idea. Great job on the 34 McKm/h, hahaha. And thanks for participating and keeping it so enjoyable!
Thanks Fil! And of course big thanks to you for arranging this! Yeah, I think I like my backward chassis, at least at low speed it handles really well. A bit less nervous, pulls the front forward, should be good... And of course good fun fitting that oddball Van Squash on there, ha ha!
Thanks Tony! Yeah, I'm excited to see how it goes also, he he... The Squash Van is an odd choice, but somehow seems to work alright on a speedrun, he he... The car handles quite well at low speed, so hopefully as it gets faster I will still think it was worthwhile, it seems less nervous than what I have seen in many videos...
Nice video my friend 🧡💚💛💚💛💚💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 A very creative idea ❤💙❤💙❤💙💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 I look forward to seeing your designs. Congratulations on your journey forward ❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙
Left field thinking indeed Mads! Loving this creation buddy,we can always rely on you to think outside of the box. How cool. 🙏 And,I'm a huge fan of those vintage pick ups,that body looks amazing dude. Hoping to join in this class ourselves all being well mate. Best of luck to you Sir. 👍 👍 👍
Thanks so much Yoda! Yeah, that was term that Mark Bryan taught me, so I figured I would give him a nod and include it in the paint job... It's funny, I am not a fan of those trucks at all myself, I just wanted something different, and the Squash Van body was the cheapest Tamiya body I could find, he he... I managed to give it a small durability test yesterday, it seemed to hold up to the abuse... For now... Hoping to see your entries also sometime soon, dude!
Thanks Killer! Yeah, 34 McMiles is my official aim, but I have no actual qualified guess what I might end with. I know that when I get to around 50 mph, my talent runs out and I crash... So I'm excited too, to see what happens...
Thanks Paul, it's all about having a bit of fun! I know I don't like driving crazy fast, so I won't be interesting to watch from that perspective... But hopefully I'll be able to add my own flair or flavour or whatever, he he... Yup, McMiles are cool!
Thanks Jeremy! Yeah, I realised I completely forgot to mention the body in all my rambling... It's of course the Tamiya Squash Van, chopped a bit, he he... I may need to talk a bit more about that in next video...
@@AddamsPlayground thanks buddy! Well, I finished building it with the brushed motor, so that's how I'll run it for now, he he... But I was ordering pet food on Amazon and needed free shipping, so I may have accidentally bought a 6700kV motor, definitely that's the beans, he he!
Hey Mads, I really love the body you have for the speedrun challenge, open grill to keep the electronics cool and the rear end is awesome. 34 kph (21 mph) isn't a bad start, to forget that you are out there doing a speedrun and just having fun means that you really are having a blast running that machine. Keep up the runs my friend and take care and stay safe.
Thanks Pete! Yeah, somehow I thought that Squash Van might be fun, and also complicated things for myself doing the chassis backwards... Drives well at low speed, we see what happens when we up the speeds...
Hi! Happy to see you having fun with your own car. The front biased weight distribution should be fun to drive, as I felt while driving my TA03F. BTW, I love the line like "I found this part somewhere in my strage...", true craftsman right there 😂
He he, thanks Sakura! Definitely having fun! And that's how many of my cars are built, just whichever parts I could find... I must have something like 10 Tamiya cars with G6-01 parts in it, he he...
Thanks man! Yes, almost everything is modded in some sort of way, ha ha... Let's see how it goes first time I drive it fast, maybe it disintegrates by itself!
Thanks Dirk! Yes, I think the car handles quite well. I haven't tried the original Tamiya MF-01X, but from what I've seen in people's videos, it has too much steering for a speedrun, very nervous. I don't know, buddy! I sort of thought a bit I might be running it slower backwards, but I didn't really care... For a Clodbuster, of course you need pretty much exactly same speed.

Nice work Mads, I'll look forward to seeing how your project progresses. Love the body design and innovation on the chassis!

You definitely put the Mads in Mads rc! Nice truck
Thanks Joe! Yeah, I won't be amongst the fastest, so at least hopefully I can be entertaining in some other way, ha ha...
Nice video my friend 🧡💚💛💚💛💚💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
A very creative idea ❤💙❤💙❤💙💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I look forward to seeing your designs. Congratulations on your journey forward

Thanks MDN! Yeah, I like to try new stuff, sometimes I win and sometimes it ends in disaster, ha ha!
Left field thinking indeed Mads!

nice intro, car looks cool, can't wait to see how fast you can get it to go!
Thanks Killer! Yeah, 34 McMiles is my official aim, but I have no actual qualified guess what I might end with. I know that when I get to around 50 mph, my talent runs out and I crash... So I'm excited too, to see what happens...
Congratulations on so a cool creation. McMiles is the new measurement!!
Thanks Paul, it's all about having a bit of fun! I know I don't like driving crazy fast, so I won't be interesting to watch from that perspective... But hopefully I'll be able to add my own flair or flavour or whatever, he he... Yup, McMiles are cool!
Nice intro and beginning Mads! That body looks awesome!👍😊
Thanks Jeremy! Yeah, I realised I completely forgot to mention the body in all my rambling... It's of course the Tamiya Squash Van, chopped a bit, he he... I may need to talk a bit more about that in next video...
Very cool setup Mads! Love the look of it and you should go ahead and stick in a brushless set and feed it the beans! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground thanks buddy! Well, I finished building it with the brushed motor, so that's how I'll run it for now, he he...

Thanks Al! I see you caught up, both this video and the next, thanks for watching, my friend!
Hey that is a cool looking truck and interesting setup. Good luck in the contest 😁👍👍

Fun is what it’s all about. Nice build and first run.
Yeah, man, all about that fun, thanks buddy! Seems to handle alright, let's see what happens when it gets faster...
Awesome creation 👌 Nice entry. Wish you all the best ✌🤝
Thanks Coy! Yeah, I'm not going to be fast, so at least I can have some fun with it, and hopefully provide something worth watching anyway, he he...
good luck mate and that body is awesome 😊👍
Thanks Dom! Yeah, it's quite a surprise it did so well, and the body is of course the Squash Van, I just chopped and squashed it a bit, he he...
Love all the mods! Looks Great!
Thanks man! Yes, almost everything is modded in some sort of way, ha ha... Let's see how it goes first time I drive it fast, maybe it disintegrates by itself!
FRIST!!! That looks so mental
Frist? He he, Paul, good on you!
Very cool construction. I really lile the reversed design. I have one question, is the motor not timed? Still searching for one under 20T for my Clod.
Thanks Dirk! Yes, I think the car handles quite well. I haven't tried the original Tamiya MF-01X, but from what I've seen in people's videos, it has too much steering for a speedrun, very nervous.
