[lewandlo]

Hey ..very cool air time on that puppy for a 4X4. Looks like a great little package for those ..too windy days. Thanks for posting

[nitroairplane]

@joehandsome99 it happens to us all :)

[cawasairo53]

remember, that something is small does not mean that it isn`t powerful

like your albatros that one is small and is a realy good airplane

[joehandsome99]

@cawasairo53 Thanks for watching and the comment.

[jbooh88]

being a plane guy i could still use this on those windy days. had no idea they had fun capable trucks for such a good price. thanks for showing

[joehandsome99]

@jbooh88 Thanks for watching.

[designpete]

Hello Chris, how are you so you got together with eric. I did't know you were into RCs. You can learn a lot from eric. enjoyed the video keep up the good work.

[joehandsome99]

@designpete Thanks for watching Pete!

[thebudgetrc]

that thing would be awesome at a skatepark.... now there's a idea

[joehandsome99]

@thebudgetrc That would be fun. I need to find one to try it at.

[thebudgetrc]

@joehandsome99 haha yes there is not many around my area either

[stevetinyhallman]

What a neat truck. Great video.

[joehandsome99]

@stevetinyhallman Thanks Steve.

[MinfangDuan]

i will be cool if you put fpv on it since it has so much range

[joehandsome99]

@MinfangDuan That's a good idea. Thanks!

[FlamEffect]

I need one of those old cars that if you flip it, the body is not in the way, so you keep going. Ever seen those. O yeah. If I could find one 4x4 that can flip over, then I would have it made.

[joehandsome99]

@FlamEffect The 4x4 on this truck makes it tons of fun.

[ahydro328]

Great vid. Never thought that thing would have that much power for being brushed. I do have a 1/18 scale Xtm Rage i love it.

[joehandsome99]

@ahydro328 It's a cool little truck

[nitroairplane]

Cool review a plane guy trying land vehicles sis always good to see :)

[joehandsome99]

@nitroairplane yep, sometimes I amaze myself. :P

[startazz]

Great video boys and very entertaining at the end there,also a great review and you both seem to be giving your honest thoughts on this little truck which i like too,i thought it looked to be going faster than 17mph but that could be because the truck is small so it looks to be going faster who knows,all in all a great review of a great little beginner RC truck so well done to you both and it gets a thumbs up from me.

[joehandsome99]

@startazz Thanks for watching and the great comment Ian. I really do appreciate it.

[cesar11duran]

I guessing your gonna do a give away on this?!?

[joehandsome99]

[rufus324]

you and chris both talk very similar. ha

[joehandsome99]

@rufus324 really?

[Blueberry954]

I'd rather go with the 1/16 Slash from Traxxas

[joehandsome99]

@Blueberry954 This one is so cool though

[WORRO01]

Nice!

Thumbs up!~~John

[joehandsome99]

@WORRO01 Thanks John. I really appreciate you watching my videos.

[RCracingLimburg]

Are there shops in europe that sell the car ?

[joehandsome99]

@RCracingLimburg I'm not sure

[thejumping123]

How much is it?

[joehandsome99]

@thejumping123 around $100 at hobbytown usa

[flyingchimp99]

check the horizon website

one new ccpm heli

one new racer

and a jet that looks like stryker

[OrangePHX]

That transmitter looks like a rebranded Flysky. the truck looks cool

[AceMcMoron]

Speed-testing a brushed car on the very first charge?

:))

[joehandsome99]

@AceMcMoron why not?



[AceMcMoron]

@joehandsome99

The brushes have to broken in gently. Some people go to great lengths (for hours in liquid), but just doing a pack or two with conservative throttle management & ample cooling is usually plenty.

NiMH packs need 4-5 cycles before they perform their best.

For small cars (eg. Losi 1/24 micro rally/SCT) loosening up the gears/diffs also plays a significant role.

[sirfaryad1]

it's fast i guess.

[joehandsome99]

@sirfaryad1 very fast

[DeanC993]

Very Cool truck

[joehandsome99]

@DeanC993 Thanks
