[fatroofus]

[jsmbc101]

Haha the exceed is the devil... channel 666

[electricrc01]

what motor, esc and servo do you have in your nexx 8

[Squirrelod]

@electricrc01 7955TG, 1515, MMM ESC

[RCRacing88]

Hey Brian, I spoke to you on twitter a couple of days ago about your 2 new buggies, would be awesome to see them in SQRL TV 6 or 7, if you haven't already filmed them that is. Also, would be cool to mention how your getting on with your hexa core CPU as in a couple of weeks i'm ordering the parts to build my own hexa 3.2ghz from amd. Cheers buddy.

[Squirrelod]

@RCRacing88 I have up to 7 prefilmed so that I have time to do somethings that I need to. They will be in future episodes. I will have to do another prefilm for the next 4 weeks as well. Very, very busy over here lately.

[RCRacing88]

@Squirrelod That's kool man, No sweat

[slashvxl35]

What system would you recommend for a traxxas e-maxx? The tekin rx8 or castle creations mamba monster system? I will most likely be running 4 cell lipo and possibly 6 cell lipo

[Squirrelod]

@slashvxl35 RX8 honestly. Sensored, smoother, better variety of motors, and I have yet to have an issue on anything tekin. I have a 70% failure rate personally on my 20+ MMMs.

[ginger727272]

i think you should tell what kits you will review

[Squirrelod]

@ginger727272 I tend to not until it is about time to upload them. Some kits take time, be it weather or the kits need that extra time, so I dont want to, nor do I like to be, rushed. When I announce the future reviews I get pinged non-stop on statuses.

I hope you understand.

[hallboy61]

good idea .. will take a look on itunes :) thanks

[cripin2021]

is silicone necessarily bad for the bearings or is it just the case of the bearing oil being better for them?

lol and during the droid segment i noticed an 80/120gb zune on the table.

[Squirrelod]

@cripin2021 I stopped using it on bearings. Myself, and others like Joe, have found that bearing condition and lifespan decreases when you use the silicones in it. If you are looking for straight speed, it works and it will give you a boost. But, you will be servicing, and replacing, the bearings more often.

The bearing oils, like the parma and the old Trinity Royal Oil that I still have, tends to fill the bearing better and aids in increased lifespan.

[Drummerdude102]

Hey squirrel have you ever port and polished a nitro engine and if so how do you do it?

[idiotparade1]

@Squirrelod like a computer or rc car

[mymod123]

what size tire do you have on the lsd2?

[Squirrelod]

@mymod123 40s moabs

[idiotparade1]

Hey squirrel what do you recommend for like a huge tire speed demon mega high air truck to just upgrade to that description?!

[Squirrelod]

@idiotparade1 Do you have a link?

[FRYEGUY247]

do you have 420 rims on there because i didnt know you could get moabs for the lst2 rims

[Squirrelod]

@FRYEGUY247 420s= 40 series. They are the same size and will fir 40s moabs. Its the hex that is different.

[SundbyCPH]

Hint: Another good rust remover is Coca Cola. It does not work as fast, but it is cheap and a lot more safe.

[Squirrelod]

@SundbyCPH Yup, lots of different things you can use. Thanks for the suggestions.

[TheNME41]

Hey Squirrel, Im wanting to build my one computer but I don't that much computer smarts. How hard would it be to build my own computer?

[Squirrelod]

@TheNME41 Its very easy. You need ram, mother board, CPU, graphics card, audio card, hard disk, media player (DVD/ Blu Ray, PSU, and a tower.

[hallboy61]

should have saved some cooking with nitros for a 5 hr car journey ... none left except for the one i was in but i dont think i can listen to myself especially as i really sound like a mess and my accent seems really strong .. they r great tho . thanks man and thanks for the opportunity to get on one even though i kinda fked up :) i think they make me laugh more than anything in the week :)

[Squirrelod]

@hallboy61 I just got finished with a total of 11 hours. Adam Carolla and lots of others filled my ears =)

[Imagetu420]

I bought a used nitro motor and it runs great but the inside is brown with what looks like brown gunk,is there a way to clean it out without hurting the motor.ty love your show.o and and everyone keeps telling me that I should run 25/10 when I'm running sidewinder 30/12 cause they say I'm prematurely wearing out my motors? Is this true our does it make that big of a difference? Ty again

[Squirrelod]

@Imagetu420 Everyone has preferences on nitro percents and fuels. Their ways might be best for them but is not best for all.

As for the insides, a soft toothbrush and simple green will work. Just re-oil the insides before re-assembly.

[madde78273]

you can use phosphiric acid instead of clr. :) thats what I use

[Squirrelod]

@madde78273 There are many, many, many different things and brands to use. Good info none the less and thanks for posting.

[adude722]

squirrel what shock tower holes and A arm holes do you use for races? pls reply

[Squirrelod]

@adude722 That will vary from kit to kit, track to track, and preference to preference.

[adude722]

@Squirrelod I have a offroad buggy, my local track has alot of jumps. im asking waht you will recomend for my shok tower holes and A arm holes for my shocks :) pls reply?... i am sorry for if im bothering you.

[Squirrelod]

@adude722 Right, I understand, but there is really no way to tell you what to align it for as it will vary from track to track, kit to kit, preference in driving to preference. There is no way for me to tell you what to put them on and be right. You will have to adjust it.

What I can tell you to do though is to check out my RC Setup guide. It goes over all of the shock positions and what to look for, you can then apply it to your own.

[adude722]

@Squirrelod oh ok thanks :)

[microflyyer]

Nice, I have the Acer a500 too.

[ginger727272]

i think you should do part of your rc collection every few episodes to see it

[Squirrelod]

@ginger727272 Typically I do that at the end of the year. Dec 31 2010 was the last one if you want to see it. Its changed drastically since then ;)

[andgoyer2010]

An idea for the transitions. is to zoom out of the segment video to a animation of you sitting on the couch bringing up the remote clicking thru channels and choose channel and zoom back in on screen. Just another idea hope you can use it.

[Squirrelod]

@andgoyer2010 Will you be doing the animation for me? It sounds like a great idea =)

[elsalamemelame]

@Squirrelod can i try to do the animation for you?

[Squirrelod]

@elsalamemelame Absolutely! =) Do 3 to 4 if you can for variety. Email them to the cookingwnitro gmail address (which is what the address is once you fill in the rest of the info ;)

[elsalamemelame]

@Squirrelod ok ill try and see waht comes up

[elsalamemelame]

@Squirrelod actually i dont think ill have time cause they just told me that i have some tests this month

[Squirrelod]

@elsalamemelame Do it whenever man. Its all good.

[elsalamemelame]

@Squirrelod ok then

[chris1234416]

To squirrel:

Also im thinking of buying the rustler vxl by traxxas. can u tell me any pros and cons about the car?

[chris1234416]

can you put up a video of installing leds?

[Squirrelod]

@chris1234416 I have one on the way.

[TheStealther]

Hello Squirrel.

I'm having some issues with my Mini Trophy. I have lost 2 servo's while running because the wire to the servo gets stripped and seperated. How (IF its possible) can i save them? Solder them back together etc or?

Kindly Regards TheStealther

PS. Your vid with servo repair. Sound is aweful.

[Squirrelod]

@TheStealther Just deal with the audio I guess and follow with the video. The source video is fine. What YT does with it is not my responsibility. IF I re-upload it then it will be deleted as a duplicate vid.

[James45792]

Hey can you do Some videos on 5th scales as I have a redcat rampage

[Squirrelod]

@James45792 I have an entire playlist on 5th scales in the video description.

[James45792]

@Squirrelod I have seen those i was wondering can you do some more

[TheRacingRobbo]

I'm guessing you will be Overclocking?

Did i even have to ask :D hahaha

[Squirrelod]

@TheRacingRobbo Nope, didnt have to ask ;) Blazing fast without it though.

[traxxasblitz]

If you wouldn't mind telling me what kind of rims do you have those proline moabs on thanks

[Squirrelod]

@traxxasblitz They are 5 year old PL 40 velocitys.

[matthewdiscovery1]

Hey squirl, can I remove that anodized blue color stuff from a chassis or something? I dont like the different color stuff.

[Squirrelod]

@matthewdiscovery1 yup, I have a vid on anodize removal, dying the anodize coating, and also polishing.

[dropkinn]

It's on pocket casts its a few bucks but works stream and download

[cmorazz]

heard on the toyz fourms that you had a mgt 3.0 im thinking of geting one wondering what you thought of it

[dacooter]

Thank You for not using Ad's

[Squirrelod]

@dacooter When I get the option, I put them at the end. The ads do help to support the channel and only cover, at most, 25% of the monthly fees. While annoying to some, there is a benefit.

Trust me when I say that this costs cash to do and it helps. There is a benefit. But, I prefer them at the end.

[dacooter]

@Squirrelod It is definitely nice to not start with ad's

and i don't doubt this cost a lot of money.. thank you for helping many people with your videos!

If you Need to I am sure you wouldn't lose more than a few subbers if you did do ads in both beginning and end.. and it may help you with doing more things..

[whiteknuckles717]

Can you do a vid on sand blasting a Losi SCTE chassis or do you already have a sand blasting vid?

[stampedvxl]

onecast is in the android market and it has cooking with nitro been listen for months i told u about it five months ago ..................

[Squirrelod]

@stampedvxl Thanks for reminding me.

[rckid143]

Podcasts on android ......not droid

[Squirrelod]

@rckid143 They are referenced as the same thing. =)

[renagade800xr]

@rckid143 ya rckid hahaha no jk getting on xbox saturday no work so yay what you up to BTW great video squirrel

[stampedvxl]

will bead lock work in high speed applacation??????

[ghp020]

when you are talking about the spray silicone, what about the Moose Slick spray you used to use??

[Squirrelod]

@ghp020 Its the exact same thing but this stuff costs less. So, if this works, then same stuff that costs more will work as well.

[somekid908]

I use JIG-A-LOO to prevent rust on my kits! it works pretty well! I put it on my stampede 4x4 before i took it out in the snow for the first time and it worked! After i hosed it off i re-lubed it again with the same stuff. For the most part It is rust free but there's a little bit on it. Not too much though. Just on one or two screws i missed when lubricating it.

[Squirrelod]

@somekid908 That is a great product and works as well. I just get too many weird looks at Home Depot when I ask for it.

[dacooter]

Nice Computer.. I Love Custom Pc's

I Like how you look at the camera when you talk to us.. haha

[Squirrelod]

@dacooter Custom is the only way to go on PCs ;)

[dacooter]

@Squirrelod Definitely! You get what you want.. and only what you want.. (as long as your wallet agrees)

[RickThePancho007]

got my blaster on sunday :)

[Squirrelod]

@RickThePancho007 Right on! I am taking mine with me to the beach this weekend ;)

[savagegarage]

hi squirrel i like the idea of the squirrel TV, its awsesme, soooo much better then ask squirrel.

can u pleas do a segment on the next episode, that shows all kinds of cheap mods that can be done with household materials or somthing else that is not so expensive?

im sure u have a lot of knowledge and experience to share with us.

squirrel TV rocks!!!!!!!

[Squirrelod]

@savagegarage Thanks, I try to do those topics on the build vids but it is a great idea. I will see if I can add it as a future segment. =)

[GetBlitzified]

Damn that computer is going to be stupid fast.  LOVE IT.

[Squirrelod]

@GetBlitzified Its amazing and has cut my processing time way down =)

[Squirrelod]

@YoCzechYourself I leave comments on for Squirrel TV. For the rest, I do not. I address this in a Ask Squirrel. You can watch that video to understand why.

[MegaRallycar]

Djmedic cant touch squirrelod, you rock squirrel

[Squirrelod]

@MegaRallycar Its two different extremes. Being polite about it, he watched my videos and got the idea to get into the hobby. I am more knowledge based, informative, and how to off of years of experience. I really do not watch his videos but get the idea that he is more flashy or running vids. I tend to watch Jetlag and 95666 more as its more my style but that is me.

[94offroad]

i like the new Squirrel TV very much!

[Squirrelod]

@94offroad Thank you for the props! =)
