we dont have much snow just this year. i have some bush on the lawn and last couple year its been trapping mass amount of snow, average person two years ago winter got 1.5 meters of snow laying in their front lawn, this year it seems like a short winter, it didnt snow until december, and hasnt really snowed much since. But its still freaking cold, near -50Celcius for a few days and those shots were taken at the midnight and was probably still around -35, my hands were frozen before the battery ran down, and i quit before the one stock pack of battery did, lol

And i noticed that the battery seems not as powerful when its that cold. lol

i went with a friend last night and took some better shots for the contest, they will be carefully mixed, and the video will be prize winning and you will be suprized to see how fun a stock brushed EMXT-1 can be, in snow!

nice video randy, how lucky you are to find a place with all those nice hills to jump

amf66

Great videos Rich and Randy! I wish I had some hills like that nearby! Rich, it looks like you broke your shock tower the same way that Randy broke his, at that little tab. Luckily for me I don't land my truggy on its lid (most of the time!) so I don't think I'll have a problem with that.

Uploading video of starting monster truck to youtube now..........

amf66

Have you broken the engine in yet?

ehroof

Nice, we need some new videos

jpilkinton

Oh yeah, this one has already been broken in. I got to tell ya, it starts ALOT easier and runs better with this Sidewinder fuel. I have it running very rich in the video.
I always like to run a little on rich side untill I complete it and actually drive it. No more Traxxas fuel for me!
The video is a little on the long side. I let it run a full tank.

amf66

Whats the link to the video?

jpilkinton

Frick'n youtube lets me upload the whole video and after it's finished, then it rejects it for being too long. It took like 1.5 hours to upload.
I'm splitting it now and then convert it and then try to upload it again.
The first part is almost done.

OK, here is the first part:

Hmm, the first video works but the second one doesn't.

Cam_132

second one worked for me...

if it is takeing that long... go with the photobucket one... they do photos and videos...

ehroof

they both worked for me too.

Cant wait to see that run.

amf66

It worked this time. Looks great! It reminded me that I need to get a fuel filter for my favorite little truggy!

jpilkinton

Yeah, I don't run anything without a filter. I have a brand new Hanger 9 filter waiting on my MTR-2S to arrive.

amf66

Have you run your custom truck yet? I want some video of that beast! [8D]

jpilkinton

Yep.. I'm uploading now..

The weather was kinda yucky. Started to mist rain.
Hopefully I can get my wife or my daughter to get some better video.

ehroof

Excellent, man does that need a 2nd gear, lol. You could climb a wall with that. Very nice job.

PS: I know you built it for low end.

jpilkinton

LOL! Yeah, I think I can walk fast and keep up with it wide open! I didn't even need the brakes. It's like putting your vehicle in first gear(manual trans) and giving it gas and letting off the gas. This truck acts the same way. I also realized I didn't put the screw in the servo horn for the steering(it fell off couple of times) and then realized I didn't put one in the throttle or the brake servo. I must have gotten ahead of myself to drive it.
Thanks Eddie!

ehroof

I am sure you were looking forward to it and sometimes things happen.

My Feedback: (1)

Wow! Very Very nice work on that truck! I love it!

Like the craftsmanship show in the last video!

jpilkinton

Thanks! I wasn't too sure if the nylon counter gear would hold up to the stress and the heat, but it did.

My Feedback: (1)

Yeah I saw that and thought it was brave of you to try it but it seems like it is just fine.
Congrats on a job well done!
