We've watched Part II about a million times together and always discuss someone doing a replica of that truck. I'm stoked to see it in person! 8) :mrgreen:

Got eyes on this Saturday. It's a dream come true up close. Realizes a long time dream! Runs decent too, if you're into actually running R/C cars... I just like to look. :D

Lol, that was a nice easy 38mph lap on 10%, went back today with a new clutch and 30% and got it up to 41 mph on two full tanks of reliability!

Tested this today....this is how we ran it, didn't want to crash the Black body or scratch the rims...but we never did crash it, but came close twice

Here are the results, it's got alot more speed in it but the tires pizza out real bad at this speed and it gets really scary...but nowhere near top speed, but it's as fast as we want to go with it...that was running 10% nitro...it has so much power...truck ran perfect and never broke down

Came home and put some 50% in it and retuned...just ran it for small length, it was ridiculous how much torque it had...put the 10% back in and put the tune back...big difference where needles need to be between those fuels

The old speed run trick to stop tires ballooning is to use fishing line wound around the tread , it's far from perfect but I reckon you'd break the 50mph :lol:

I agree!..we don't don't do the youtube thing so thumbs will video at next fest then post it...he is having trouble getting permission to come tho and keeps blowing us off...sux...maybe we can figure out how to do youtube before then...seems very complicated...I figure the truck will run 60+ by the time he comes....got some ideas 💡

Great build, and I really respect that you actually drive it!
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Such a cool and unique build! I cringed when I saw the first video of the speed test. Glad it stayed on its tires! 8)

I remember seeing someone from RCCaraction building nitro crawler type truck that was pretty cool as well. Hard to tell in your pictures, but are you running power to the front axle as well or is it just a rear wheel drive?
