New Videos

[Dr.Newb]

Got a new camera today so i shot 2 quick videos to show you guys my Trekker.

Trail Trekker repainted with Dually's - YouTube

Testing the dually's - YouTube <--- first attempt ever at driving and shooting a video

[poopsmcgoops]

i love ot man, ive got a stock trekker right now and i love it, im glad to see ive got somewhere to go with mods if i get bored with it as a stocker

[Dr.Newb]

yea i have done only free mods and alot of experimentation with my trekker, my fave mod so far is cutting every second lug off the stock tires to give them a little better look and a little more bite on the trail

but yes the trekker is my fave rc i own

[poopsmcgoops]

hmm i never thought of cutting some on the lugs off, do you notice any big difference?

[Dr.Newb]

i personally do but i could be crazy plus they look like mud terrains after, i used old nail clippers and cut all the smaller lugs off one by one haha

[poopsmcgoops]

i might have to give that a shot once my new servo gets here and i can throw my truck back together lol, i fried the servo because im a newbie and i had it turned up all the way, oh well, horison hobby sent me a new one for free, now i just gotta wait for it to get here, for now my truck looks like this



i love it as a dualy by the way, how did you do it? just glued them on?

[Dr.Newb]

no actually i used clear kinda stretchy string i got from my local dollar store and just tied them together at the rims but it was a pia lol

and yea i got my trekker and ran it hard for a while before I had engine/transmission issues and then cooked the stock servo,i managed to score a second complete trekker for a screaming deal and have scavenged it for parts

Ok, so this morning I glued the duals on and re-glued my Lego stacks back on. I'm going to try and make a new video later on today

And yea, I'm loving the look of the duals also and so far it seems to climb better. I also recommend putting some form of weights in your front wheels, I have a ring of silver solder in both my front wheels

[poopsmcgoops]

sweet cant wait to see a new video! i love all the mods youve done and as soon as i find a new body for mine, the stock body looks nice but i want something a little more personalized

[Dr.Newb]

my thoughts exactly i love my TT because i have done all the works and its been painted so many times but im stickin with the blue

[poopsmcgoops]

just watched all the videos you posted, i love your course man im gonna try to get my dad to let me make one in his yard soon, i just turned 18 and graduated high school and it would give me something to do with my time this summer lol working part time without school to go to leaves alot of down time, so im debating on either making a small course in the back yard or making one of those foam mountian ranges, i love what you have done with your truck, im gonna mount a 1966 dodge charger body on mine soon, and pick up some kind of truck body to switch out when i want a truck instead of a car lol if you diddnt notice im new here and im glad ive made a friend so fast, ill be subscribing to your youtube page soon

[Dr.Newb]

[Dr.Newb]
