Wild One stock silvercan with biggest pinion 2s 4000mah turnigy general bashing but heaps of full throttle gets me around 30min run time with a little left over

Good spot on the hills hoist. Yep you definitely need a drag brake esc makes it heaps easier to drive. I had 2 different setups one was the stock silvercan with stock esc and a hpi gear reduction. It was geared so far that it didn't need the drag brake it would just hold itself from the gearing. But I found I didn't have quite enough wheel speed so I changed to a braked esc 70 turn motor and no gear reduction and that was my preferred setup. Still crawled awesome but just a touch more wheel speed when needed. Also run weights in the wheels, just hot glued some sinkers inside the rims.

Great fun to modify these rigs, here is my old girl. Wasn't much left stock, extensive chassis cutting, custom shocks, suspension links, gear reduction, servo winch, steering mods, bigger tires ect. Was always a favorite in a sea of axial crawlers on the trails.

Here is a timelapse build of my blitzer beetle, might be of interest, hope you enjoy

I just use the gel pens as well, quick, so even though they don't last to many runs its easy to re do them.

Finally finished my wild one off, painting the driver always slows things down

All those memories of going to the big hobby shops with dad seeing the tamiya's, could never afford one until into my teen years. Got a second hand super hornet and thrashed the guts out of it for years then moved on to "bigger and better". The super hornet much to my shame ended up in the bin because I mean who would want to drive that with all these awesome modern cars. Anyway years later I see a tamiya wild one brand new going dirt cheap, building that just opened my eyes to something I didn't even know I was missing. Added more tamiya's to my collection since but am yet to bag a super hornet.

Went out with my blitzer beetle on the weekend to do some runs. Started with a 2 cell batt hoping to hit 60kmh and a 3 cell as backup if needed. Well I got my goal of over 60kmh with the 2 cell but couldn't help myself and chucked the 3 cell in anyway. The video is a bit long so the 3 cell runs start at 7:00 if you want to skip to that. I got a wheel standing 69.3kmh/43.0mph and a 72.9kmh/45.2mph Specs are 3520kv trackstar brushless 15t pinion 5000mah 2 cell and 2200mah 3 cell stock tires -
Ok sweet I will have to take another look at them thanks

How do you find those adapters?? because if i'm not mistaken doesn't the wheel nut rub on the face of the wheel and cause some drag?? I have some in my parts draw but was wondering if you had some special trick with them.
