I honestly don’t know how to get the code v= for YouTube links anymore. It’s purely random if it works when I hit share.

If you notice there is no V= in my link. So I can’t do what we have been doing for 10-15 years to embed a YouTube video.

That tutorial doesn’t work anymore

Do I hang the old body on the wall? Should I update my avatar? Ha



I have to admit; I know very little about fluid dynamics.

Don't click share at YouTube, which makes the link look like this:
https://youtu.be/BFX1ElfROOg?si=9L-DvC52N7A8H1u8

Take the original URL link, no . between youtu.be:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFX1ElfROOg

Put only this in the brackets: BFX1ElfROOg

This needs to be stickied!! Thanks a lot. After the forward slash, before the question mark. I need to burn it in my memory.

One question though how did you get to the original URL? I use the app. Can I not use the app?

I didn't realize you were using an app, I just clicked the link you posted:
https://youtu.be/BFX1ElfROOg?si=XCVyjIRw3kQvL27_

When I get to YouTube, from your link, it changes the URL back to non-shared format:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFX1ElfROOg

Looks like you can still do this from the app, you just have to take the right part of the URL: BFX1ElfROOg , before the ?si=

Just like Greenbaron stated like this [youtube ] BFX1ElfROOg [ /youtube] without the spaces

This is the first I have heard of being able to embed the youtu.be links.

Such invaluable information.



This looks promising

It wheelied and got airborne did a helicopter and landed. My son barely got it on video. I’ll post some pics after this post. Landed on its tires I got lucky and didn’t break a thing. Time to stop messing around. Wheelie bar mounted and adjustable.











Inch and a half of front tire lift with no rear shock compression under power. Plenty of adjustment up and down.

There’s another spin in here but I’m not gonna screen shot it all

I’m comfortable on 3s maxed out to 70mph again. Time to step it up to 4s. But before I do, I’ll need to set this up and learn it.



Game changer? We will see. 5 star Amazon rating..

Last 3s video.





Gyro installed! I have it on the AUX 2 channel of my Sanwa receiver and keyed to the thumb lever on my MT-4. I’m pretty excited to test it so I just ordered a 4s battery. I’ll be playing with the gain on the lever, as I have it maxed out on the gyro.

Nothing drastic is happening yet, besides I just made a new body. But I think I’m foreshadowing.

I couldn’t wait to test the gyro. Dropped off my kids at school and took it out for a run ha. What a difference. It’s almost unbelievable. The car now feels like some professional built machine. I’m hanging wide open throttle instantly run after run with no regard for the surface bumps or pebbles. I turned down the gain to about 60% and hit 70 without a hiccup. It is much more stable now. More so then any modification I’ve done to it.

Really wild how good it really is. What a level up.

If you don’t have one get one.
