Hi squirrel.

I'm new to nitro. Bought myself a second hand hyper 7 L pro UK. Can you tell me if it's normal to have a few bubbles in the fuel line that guns to the carb? Some people say there should be none, some say it's normal to have a few?

Can you please help?

[ghostrecon473]

@squirrelod what do you think of the losi 810 as a semi racer and bashers but mostly bashing and just having fun

[Squirrelod]

@ghostrecon473 It would be great for that as it is not a racer.

[ghostrecon473]

[Straightsix76]

@Squirrelod were u running a single speed? 60mph is rapid!

[Squirrelod]

@Straightsix76 stock with the engine and a JP pipe. The gearing might have been upped. This was in 06 I want to say? 07 at the latest? So, it was awhile ago.

[venustas99]

Squirrel, your videos are so helpful to all of us noobs getting into the hobby, and even your non-tutorial things are something really fun to watch. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

[Squirrelod]

@venustas99 Keep watching and I will keep making them =)

[SavageRC1]

Nice collection squirrel! Do you have any interest in the Team Durango Buggy? I was looking at it recently and was wondering if you were going to do anything with it in the future.

[vstrok]

Makes sense. Thanks.

[vstrok]

[Squirrelod]

@vstrok It is a personal question. 

[vstrok]

[Squirrelod]

@vstrok Lead Fry Cook at McDs

[miniman9194]

@Squirrelod oh look............. 2 of them came

[Squirrelod]

@powerpunch560 yup, yup! Cant please everyone all the time. Its why I dont try to please all =)

[RCdriver74]

hey what about the new JQ the car... are you getting one? I'm still debating on what brand of buggy to get most of my stuff is traxxas short course and monster trucks..Buggys are next on my list, and then the HPI 5th scale short course..

[Squirrelod]

@RCdriver74 I have a thread on the forum that you can follow on this buggy.

[9123flash]

usuall i ask vague questions and such iu get vague answers. so here is a presise answer i am looking for. Which RTR kityou can beat to living hell so much so that the you will need to replace the tires before fixing the kit

[Squirrelod]

@9123flash You get vague answers as you are asking me to either 1) make up your mind for you or 2) answer highly opinionated questions. Neither of which I do. I do not get paid to help others nor am I obligated to. Perhaps there is a miss-understanding that I am putting out?

There are lots of great bashers out there. All of them will break and they will break for different reasons depending upon the style of driving that the user does. Bashing is not universal to all or what is considered to b.

[RCBASHERTRUCK]

those zombie max tire and rim would i be able to run those on my rustler if i can what gearing should i have

[Squirrelod]

@RCBASHERTRUCK I dont think that you can get the zombies anymore. No idea on gearing. That is kit specific.

[JugheadRC]

Nice to see some Crowd Pleaser bodies with eyes in them... almost nostalgic. =)

[Squirrelod]

@JugheadRC Usually I change my style every year it seems. That one stuck for a long time and I have a good portion of them still =). That one lasted a long time though. Up until Proline moved away from the CP.

[xr896]

Hi squirrel, i just bought a hyper mini st electric roller kit, electric is new to me and i was woundering what you recomend for the motor, ESC and lipo, hope you can answer this question in your next as squirrel is im dieing to get it up and running, by the way love the how to paint videos i used most of you tequneks and the body shell turned out awsome

[Squirrelod]

@xr896 Tekin 5.5 SC motor, Castle MM Pro ESC, turnigy 100A lipo 3s

[PappyMcDaddy]

WOOHOO!!!! Lets see that model A of an RC run!!! I haven't seen one of those run in 20 years. RC10's rock like fresh socks!!

[Squirrelod]

@PappyMcDaddy ...or underwear!

[kirksajerk]

and im just guessing. your going to be putting a 62cc engine in ur 5t. with a hole bunch of upgrades.

[Squirrelod]

@kirksajerk Absolutely not! =P

[kirksajerk]

@Squirrelod o well i want to see ur 5t when its done

[kirksajerk]

hey squirrel love ur vids. i have a 5t thought and its new. got it on christmas day and when i went bashing at the beach i came back to clean it and i found the engine bolt that goes through the orange chassis and then goes into the spacer and then goes into the clutch housing to be just broke off. is this normal for that to happen. becuase the screw is full on just stuck in the housing and theres no way to get it out without buying a new clutch housing.

[Squirrelod]

@kirksajerk Rc is a fast and brutal hobby. Breaking parts is a natural part of the hobby. You can call HPI to see if they will help you replace the parts. But, when you run, you should expect something might happen.

[kirksajerk]

@Squirrelod ok thanks. my dad will call hpi tomarow to see if they can fix it. and i really want to see part 2 when will that be online.

[SelectRCdotcom]

2 5B and 1 5T. NICE!!!

I'm getting the 5SC this Wednesday!

[Squirrelod]

@SelectRCdotcom Very nice! =)

[GetBlitzified]

What does your wife think?

[Squirrelod]

@GetBlitzified She has her own hobbies.

[RCNEWStv]

Great collection, I really enjoy the story behind the kit.

[Squirrelod]

@RCNEWStv Thanks Bill! Lots of stories to share that I didnt have time to get to as well. :)

[idiotparade1]

Hey squirrel do you know any good batteries that could keep up with a lipo powered cars ( for my b44 project)

[Squirrelod]

@idiotparade Why dont you get lipo?

[beastxmoder]

very big and very nice collection squirrel! also i was wondering whats your opinion on the zippy lipos from HK? thanks dude!

[Squirrelod]

@beastxmoder they are all that I use anymore.

[95666]

[Squirrelod]

[JTJG94]

[Squirrelod]

[rcfreak363]

[RcRacerBeast]

Hey squirrel I never heard you say this but do you sell your cars after a while and where do you sell them?

[Squirrelod]

@RcRacerBeast @liteumup69 Every spring I post up the stuff that I will not use on the forum for sale, and whatever is left over goes on ebay. Monitor my forum's sale area if you are interested.

[RcRacerBeast]

@Squirrelod ok thank you do you ever think that losi 8ight-T 2.0 electric will be up there??? I have a nitro buggy and nitro truggy and e buggy I want to finish with a e truggy. haha

[Squirrelod]

[xXsilveraider10Xx]

[Squirrelod]

@xXsilveraider10Xx It will be up when I can get it up some time this week.

[xXsilveraider10Xx]

@Squirrelod ok thank you love the vids keep it up

[ch0l0sk8r]

yeah ide take the e-revo to because my friends bringing one up to me with a snapped frame si il just order a frame for it its brushless edition

[jason1786]

what the diff between scaler and crawler?

[Squirrelod]

@jason1786 One is made for realism and limited articulation over it being scale- the other is made for rock crawling.

[360fanboy360]

ive been waiting for a car collection vid from you

[Squirrelod]

@360fanboy360 I have had them before in the past =)

[supermonnkymonnky]

hey, im 13 and im building a scaler from scratch (steel from the mill) and I was wondering if i Uploaded a quick video and sent you a link in your PM, if you could watch it and give yor oppinion on it good or bad.

[Squirrelod]

@supermonnkymonnky Shoot me the link via private message

[ch0l0sk8r]

@squirrelod hey squirell please dont give me an answer of watch the video or something or watch part two i kno nitro is a hastle and my hobby shop doesnt fix nitro anything theire dicks only electric would u prefer e-maxx e-revo or t-maxx nitro thanks looking forward to reply

[Squirrelod]

@ch0l0sk8r Watch my video on me referencing to watch another video

[Squirrelod]

@ch0l0sk8r Personally, and I can only say what is right for me, I would take the revo. The maxx is a frustrating design to me that is always breaking. Just my opinion, some may disagree and it might not be best for you.

[13birchboy]

is part 2 up?

[Squirrelod]

@13birchboy nope.

[jmey107]

Its funny how all of the racing buggies, for example, look exactly the same.

[Squirrelod]

@jmey107 JA8SB= Just Another 1/8th Scale Buggy

[neondevil123]

how many rc vehicles do u have

[Squirrelod]

@neondevil123 Watch the video. =)

[Platinumhye]

My dad has the same Gold pan that you have from your parents house. Isn't it a rc10 champions edition?

[Platinumhye]

My dad has the same old team associated that you found at your parents house. I have slammed it into the wall many times at full speed and nothing happend. Isn't it a rc10 champions edition

[Bw321a]

hey squirrel, i just gotta know, with all these rc's how do you afford it. nd howd you get so many? its just so awsome!!!

[Squirrelod]

@Bw321a Buy 1, sell it, get another. Eventually you can get to the point where you can save a couple and continue to trade up.

[liteumup69]

let me know when you have a garage sale!!! no really!!

[Squirrelod]

@liteumup69 Every spring I post up the stuff that I will not use on the forum for sale, and whatever is left over goes on ebay. Monitor my forum's sale area if you are interested.

[SandMan1684]

Squirrel, that scaler really is awesome!! The cage just fit perfectly on the Bronco body, fantastic!

What's the purpose of the (I think) shrink tubing on the rear suspensions of the Losi 8?

[Squirrelod]

@SandMan1684 Its to keep the dirt out of the shocks

[Squirrelod]

@TomDonson The shell is I believe.

[twowheelsnobrain]

i bet this collection is bigger than last time ( before the video )

man ! ( after the video lol)

[Squirrelod]

@twowheelsnobrain Part 2 will be tomorrow.

[twowheelsnobrain]

@Squirrelod um.... im scared lol... be cant wait , sorry i havent been on thetoyz fourm anymore... been busy..

[ZefRacing]

Ahhh that Mugen looks even better then i thought it would man, thanks for throwin it in your vid:)

[Squirrelod]

@ZefRacing I have it all hooked up now and ready to go. Its no longer a roller ;)

Well, I need to make final adjustments on the brake line but that is it

[traxxasfan321]

do you have a review on a revo?

[Squirrelod]

@traxxasfan321 Nope, nor will I. Its an old truck. When Traxxas makes a new MT then maybe.

[traxxasfan321]

@Squirrelod what about the mini summit



[Squirrelod]

@traxxasfan321 It will be up this month

[organdoughnut]

can you please make a vid of the gold pans it looks ace thanks

[HipHopAnonymousX]

You know, you have to respect Squirrels videos cause Im tired of finding how-to videos with a little kid who's Heuvos haven't even dropped yet trying to act smart.

Dont you agree Squirrel fans?

P.S. He was in the Navy, you have to respect him

[Squirrelod]

@HipHopAnonymousX I like the ones that are 15 and claiming to be a racer since age 5. =)

In a way, its cool to get people excited about the hobby. On the other hand, it feeds into the first 2 to 4 years of someone being in the hobby where they have to strive to be the best and show it.

Here is to maturity and people in the hobby long enough to know better! =D

[HipHopAnonymousX]

@Squirrelod Here,Here
