Ari hates all my cars he is upset just usimg one for a video hahaha

Really? I’d love to see that addition. I’ll have to do some digging through the digital RC car action archives. Thanks for the comment..

Glad you enjoyed the video and can provide you with great vintage RC content while at the same time having fun...

You know im running it if i own it buddy

Yeah she gets it done on the track

Really cool post it up in the facebook group so we can all see.

Where are you getting the parts

Nimh for the win!

Yeah i feel this truck screams old school and has class. Love the way it looks

Nice thats awesome

Love the Clod. So many parts and after market parts are out there to help you get up and running.

Where would you suggest looking for aftermarket parts for the Clod?

@@gfyracing7632 Join a clod buster group on facebook. Ebay is a start to see what prices parts are selling for. Then see what people who can help out with parts on facebook groups are asking. I go on to the facebook groups all the time and ask if anyone has whatever specific part it is I'm looking for .

Cant have mine haha get your own

Gives me an idea to find a buggy and big tires that fit!

Well this has diff shock towers and shocks and body mounts

Thanks for the comment. Yeah its pretty cool. We had fun with it.

It is a overlooked gem

Yeah it kimda went down hill from the first one haha

@@tallguygaming409 LOL....

Yes the hi rider vette was diff. The hi rider 2 was the same as tracker thou wasnt it?

I just sold my spare last week 🤦‍♂️

Yeah no argument on how superior Lipo is. I do have Lipo's. I run some traxxas bashers... not on my channel and I have my Super Astute set up with a brushless combo and Lipo. I'm not against it. Just try to keep simple and old school.. Thanks for the comment.

Yeah very little of these you see

That's what happened. Went into the hobby store to buy the Kyosho Tracker (1998?), because I already had the Outrage ST that I raced with. Walked out with the Traxxas Stampede. Hobby store said it was even more fun then the Tracker. Would have liked to have bought the Tracker also (looks great), could not afford both as an early teen making minimum wage part time. lol

Now phil buys everything... still no tracker thou

@@tallguygaming409 exactly! No Tracker still

I may have more runners cause all mine are runners but he has some in box and ones that sit on a shelf

Yeah theres a reason i dont have light bars and rear bumper. Its more then i paid for truck haha

Yeah its not good looks ugly

I didnt get one haha

coincidental... I happened to have got mine right before the new year. I decided to build a Tamiya Bruiser first, and do some restoration vids before I built the Javelin. Either way the RC Retro Javelin build overview vid will be out next week. Things like this will happen from time to time especially with all the new rerelease coming out.

Hmmm 🤔 clearly its not.. oh wait, you must have been skipping through the video cause i clearly said it was on loan from my some guy named “friend” lol....

@@RCRetro i hate your friends

Haha it was layn around 🤷🏻‍♂️

Its never gunna happen stop sayn lipo. Ill see you in next video where u say lipo again 🤦‍♂️

Our races are 6 min long no need for lipo at all.

@@tallguygaming409 hey Harry I heard there is kind of a nightmare situation with the nickel metal hydrides you have to make sure they have enough power before they dump on you I've heard of people losing races because they didn't get a right amount of energy put into the battery and they fell short of the finish line and then they got passed by someone else who ended up dumping after they passed them so that's why I think you guys should think about using lipos I'm sorry I'm a broken record but I believe in him more than nims I do have a couple of names and I will be using them that they're 3600 and they're very heavy and if I use it in a hornet or a grasshopper they're possibly going to fall out of the belly because they're so heavy cuz the those things that hold the battery in the doors are known for letting those type of batteries drop so I'm always going to have to put duct tape to make sure they don't fall outbecause getting shapeways stuff is expensive to fix that problem.

@@bradkalman2353 Order the AMPRO Battery retainer door from Shapeways. It fixes that problem. I also responded to your LIPO question in another comment you posted for this video. Thanks for your comments and support.

Again brad we will not be using lipos at all and ever. We font have a problem and we all want to run nimhs. Thanks for the comments but you might as well not bring this up anymore

It wont happen stop askn

Brad, I only own 4 rc cars that I run brushless/Lipo in. 1- Traxxas E-revo 2.0. 2- Traxxas Mercedes AMG TRX-6. 3- Super Astute 4- Stealth converted King Cab. However, I'm in the process of swapping out the brushless set up in the king cab for brushed so I can run it on the track and in a race class. Also, I plan on selling both my Traxxas RC's. As for the Super Astute, I'm not sure about keeping the brushless set up in it. Cars that run on Brushless and Lipo are way to fast and hard to control on a track the size of the port royal raceway. I understand you can run brushed motors with Lipo but again thats not our thing. The name of the channel is RC-Retro. "Retro" as in we try to keep it old school. Plus our rules of the race classes all state "brushed motors" and "Nimh". I really appreciate your comments and support. Your are a loyal fan and watch every video and I'm super happy you enjoy the channel. However, you've asked about LIPO in other videos as well. I just wanted to give you an honest answer rather than just saying "NO."

@@RCRetro well I'm sorry you guys get bent out of shape towders me doing that I would just like to see you guys do those things and I'm sorry that I keep asking because I feel there's no progression in the hobby even with the retro stuff if you don't try other things this is how I feel about it and people who race usually race with lipo even with retro cars. I will admit I do have some nihms I will be using them they're 3600 mah but that's what I used to use when I was first got into the hobby that nightcats that's all I had available to me if I'm giving these particular types of matters that you like to use I will still have them and still use them but when it comes to me spending money on them I will be buying them anymore this is just my opinion just like I hate shelf queens and you know my opinion it's all up to you what you want to do I just feel to me that's a waste of money to do as and I do love watching the channel but I have to ask this have you ever watched my channel?

We race for fun not tryn to be competitive at all. Its all to hang out and have a laugh or 2. No need for more power the track cant handle adding lipo also we all own a bunch of nimhs not lookn to spend a fortune gettn new batterys for no reason. All our nimhs last long enuff and even longer then our 6 min races. We like doing old school stuff on the channel so we race on dirt like back in the day with brushed motors and nimh batts. Like this truck a couple of us have am radio systems in some of our cars. If you have a channel id like to see it but if i go on it to watch and most likely its a rc channel if i keep askn for you to play basketball im sure you will say thats not what my channels about.

@@tallguygaming409 I do have a channel Harry it's my name just press put that in and there I will be I like racing on dirt too.
