Haha, this white boy loves drifting! I have enough footage to make a couple minute drift only video.

That vid was awesome! Our LHS is supposed to be getting a shipment of them today. Hopefully they will have one left when I get over there after work.

SICK!!!!!!

Thanks for putting the vid together, the slo mo jump was great almost looked lik the rig was coming out of the screen. Are you running open front diff in the video or thick diff oil?

[Wizardraceway]

Wow!! Did anything break? Nice vid and the truck looks great.

[wrightcs77]

[tklatti]

[Meatwad]

Excellent job on the vid

[chino63]

Wow Badger, phenominal video! Music choice was great, the ending was way cool!

Damn it man, now I really want one.

So do I get one of these or buy a set of Longfields for my FJ40.

[Baja Bandido]

A-freaking-mazing video! Nice job Badger.

[perfictsib]

all i can say is horizon should have you making videos for them, that was brilliant.

[ElBandito]

Amazing Video! Now I can't wait to pick mine up today.

[Sabrelux]

Badger, thanks for the video, it is amazing!

What kind of 3s lipos are you using? Can you post a picture of the installed in the TH?

Also, can you show us how you installed your Tekin RS?

What do you say, is the ROC 3100kv the perfect match for the TH? Or is the lower kv variant probably better suited?

Thank you!

I'm running open front diff with 500K Kyosho diff fluid.

One of the plastic rear wheel hex's stripped and the front top plate (vtr231014) broke near the end of getting the 3+ hours of footage for the video. We also stripped out the plastic gears in the transmission while doing a large gap jump and in the air Brian hit reverse on the throttle. The problem is that I still have my Tekin RS ESC programmed in "BL-F/R : Brushless motor (forward to immediate reverse (recommended for rock crawlers ONLY)" crawler mode, this is NOT recommended for a go fast RC as it can do damage to the drivetrain. If the ESC was programmed in "BL-DL: Brushless motor forward with reverse delay. Both forward and reverse are enabled, with a delay going from forward to reverse. This is the safest for your transmission if you wish to have reverse." then we would not have stripped any gears in the transmission.

We truly beat the piss out of this rig and I was amazed in how durable it is.

Agreed, as long as they pay me a crap load of money.

Thanks. I'm using TrueRC's 3s 2200mAh lipos, they fit perfect in the stock battery location and give 45-60 minutes run time with the Tekin ROC 412 brushless setup.

I will take a pic of the battery installed and the Tekin RS ESC installed today.

I really like the ROC 412 3100kv motor, it gives nice low end resolution in 1st gear for crawling and plenty of speed in 2nd for tons of fun. I don't think a lower kv motor is required if you want more of a hard core crawler setup, I would just change the pinion gear from the stock 28t down to something smaller.
