looks like you had fun, just something about tamiyas that make things fun

Is that thing brushless as it looked quite fast in a few of those scenes, or was it just the angle?

love that motor
probably one of the best brushed motors(that the brushes can't be changed on) I've used as they seem to last forever

Quick question. I love making videos. For my next video, would you rather see a Wild Willy 2 or a Super Hotshot?

Nice video, nice editing, nice everything Might be the camera angle or something, but it looked freaky fast! There is something with these cars that is amazing, i guess the reason is they looks like real buggies Keep them videos coming please!

Thanks. The car is running on the stock silver can. The angle is 2" off the ground, giving a real sense of speed. I will have a new video soon, but you didn't vote! LOL WW2 or Super Hotshot?

Oh, sorry! Well, i am a bit curious on the WW2 as i haven't seen any good videos of it, though i haven't put my mind into searching for a good one either. But i know that you will make a good one After that, bring on the Super Hotshot!

I am also curious to know how you dip the motor for break in? Dip it in water? Or do you dip it in body tempered chamomile-tea for about 5 mins and 43 seconds on 2,3 volt?

Lol, no tea. I fix 2 AA end to end, and dip the motor in a glass of water. I let it run till batts are dead. Spray motor out with motor cleaning spray and let dry. Finally oil the bushings and it's good to go. Looks like the Super Hotshot will be the next video as I have a friend on a couple other forums that I post on that just yesterday uploaded a WW2 video. He beat me to the punch, so WW2 will be after that.

I absolutely agree. I race 2wd and 4wd buggy and I love racing, but it's so different from going out and just having fun with my Tamiyas and trail rigs. If you haven't checked out my new Super Hotshot video, please check it out in this thread.
