Ok i have to admit i loved this series! Please do more like this!

You can see from that hair that you had less then 6hours of sleep :D

I think this series is very helpful for individuals who are thinking about going nitro and don't know where to begin. Sure for those who race competively its easy to say just buy a kit and buy the better components, however lets not forget that people have budgets so an rtr would make more financial sense for them since it comes with enough to get started and also they might not race it competitively either in the beginning. Others have said get a preowned kit but there again comes the expense of getting the items to run it if someone isn't selling it artr. I also believe that RTR's are meant to help new people come into this wonderful hobby of ours and learn how to improve their platforms and skills to where they will feel comfortable building a kit from scratch and be truly competitive remember you gotta learn to crawl before you can walk/ run.

I’m super stoked to see more videos of the MP9 series! They’ve been amazing so far

This is what happens to your hair when you touch that part of your electric car that says do not touch

This is an outstanding series. It shows an RTR can be competitive. I think people should realize that with the exception of tires you don't have to buy all the improvements at once. If I remember correctly this was not the newest RTR from Kyosho. Thanks for doing it. As some one mentioned I would like to see more video series like this series.

Not gonna lie, this serie made me wanna start racing! Ty a lot Bret!

I find it interesting that so many people are saying that buying a kit would have been comparable in price or even more affordable. Most of what was purchased would be needed for a kit anyhow (servos, wheels and tires, starter box, batteries, etc) and then add in an engine, pipe, radio equipment, and everything else needed and you would be far beyond the totals in this series. I think this was a great way of showing a financially accessible entry to the racing side of the hobby with room to grow when the budget allows. Well done!

I absolutely love this kind of series. I’m just now finding this and really enjoyed it.

Thank you for doing this series Brett. I JUST purchased a Kyosho MP9 TKI4 Readyset from you guys after researching a ton. This video set really helped me make my decisions. Racing footage to see the car run was extremely helpful as well. Even followed suit with some of the same upgrades as well. Love your videos bro. You are the man!

Love the Hair. I didn’t know that you actually had any !!! Great content. I’m researching RC off road and this series has been excellent. Your delivery is great, I have learnt so much. Thank you

hahaha looks like you stuck your finger in the light socket!

Really entertaining videos! I like that you consider costs as well when upgrading.

Enjoyed this series Brett!

Just received my MP9 Tki4 V2 This series was great to watch. The build quality of the Kyosho MP9 looks excellent. I am looking forward to breaking in and enjoying this beauty. Greetings from England 🇬🇧 Subbed 👍

great series, love it gives me a bit of hope with getting into the sport

i love this guy's attitude.

This video series was awesome.

Thanks for putting the music in!!! Great Video!

And now I want to get back into Nitro RC. oof that look like fun, great video series. If you can keep racing and updating the buggy it would be very cool to watch.

This is probably the 5th time i’ve watched this series and I’m still in love with it. Brett can we get some more nitro please!!!!

Brett, I'm so glad you made a point of doing upgrades as you break parts. Regardless if someone races or bashes, I believe in this as a way of getting the most out a RTR and not just spending money for the sake of spending money. Also weird cost cutting measure by Kyosho to only have one set of bevel and spider gears in each diff.

Love the hair man. Great series

Please do a follow up on this excellent series! Would recommend showing how to find a good setup while explaining the equipment, theory, etc. Thanks a lot!

Brett, whatever AMain hobbies is paying you they need to double it. I’ve spent the last two weeks watching MP9/10 videos and not only are your videos the most informative and comprehensive but you are an amazing speaker. I’m just not some guy either....... lol Well done Now sell me that MP9 in the video 😎

Great videos, loved all the parts ( not so much the hair though ). Would be interesting to see it in some more races 👍👌

Thanks Brett!! You have made the ultimate consumer of me. As a total noob, I just purchased everything you said and also a motor heater and battery. Well played AMain , well played

Your hair. It looks like you got struck by lightning before you got to your studio. Love these videos, keep it up buddy.👍🏼

Having a hard time figuring out the ready set differences great hair and great series I love nitro had a Kyosho Vanning back in the day it was super cool I killed it quick LOL

I have just purchased my first nitro, it hasn't even been started yet. This series has got me very excited about what's to come. Upgrades incoming...

It's nice part video nice job it's very impormative.

Nice video Mathew Broderick

the hair is on point

The best series ever! Will there be another series like this again?

deep pockets for this type of racing, but always love the sound of a nitro ripping. definitely keep the ancient aliens hair!!

Lol Bret my dood your hair said it all first two seconds I thought omg he been up for a while lol. Take a nap bro 👍👍😋

Cutting a 1mm or 1/16" wide piece of fuel line and sliding it over the end is a good alternative to the metal clips as it puts equall pressure all round the feed line to the carb. I use it on the pressure side as well, tank and pipe. Any weakness would show up instantly there. A couple of years ago i was looking for an excuse to buy a new engine (i enjoy running them in and setting them up, as much if not more than running the cars themself) I had half a uk gallon of nitro methane left over from mixing fuel for something else. We didnt want to waste or ruin all that nitro so we mixed 1litre of 44% methanol, 6% mobile 1 turbine oil and 50% nitro methane. The fuel was black in colour and absolutely stank ! The glow plugs did not last a full tank, they were being destroyed after a couple of minutes of running. We ended up having to use Enya no5 plugs to get any decent run times. We mixed the rest of the nitro to give us just about the full UK gallon, 4.55 litres. Thinking back, i wish we had filmed it although the engine is still in running order and i would guess maybe enough of that fuel left for 5 or 6 tanks. We gave up because we ran out of no5 plugs and they were expensive, hard to get plus you needed a monster glow supply to light the thing !!! Your videos are exellent with sound advice. Top notch 👍👍👍

Ready buggy Perfect Dude

Nice would like to see more

Cool Story Bro,and oh yea the Hair ain’t too shabby neither

Tires big bore front shocks and some nice aluminum parts on mine, works like a charm

Also I used to run all rc from helis to a 1/5 redcat rampage (hate that thing) but now I;m so obsessed with mainly 1/8 scale but buggy rc and buggy racing. I hope he does more racing related stuff in the future

ProTek RC R03 .21 Features: It goes Braaaaap!

Sooo Amain hire RCnetwork guy? Nice, like the voice :)

I'm digging the Christopher Walken hair style!

good stuff!!

Nice video

I just bought this buggy from the Amain hobby store here in Chico. My plan is to display it in my office.

Please don't be done! Keep us updated with more content in future episodes.

Hoping part 7 is coming soon :D

While this video series is awesome it just proves you should buy a kit and build your own. For roughly the same price you could have everything you wanted in the kit to begin with. Of course that doesn't matter if you don't know where to start.

Awesome series on an RTR. It really makes you wonder sometimes though if it is worth it. Did you save money going RTR verses buying an kit racer, and installing upgraded anything. Price comparison vid???? Maybe an added info, I don't know. I know I should just compare myself, but thoughts from your side is the added touch that helps deciding factor. Thanks for the build.

Lol i love your vids

This was a great video series 👏👍 Maybe you could do the same thing with the E version...I like many others are getting back into the sport and will be doing electric 8 and 10th scale electric and maybe 1/5 scale gas or electric... speaking of which why would Losi/Horizon discontinue the 5b?? Are they coming out with a 2.0? Thanks again for the work you do to put out these videos!

Kyosho is great Nitro rc manufacturer they still make and release. New models I wish Traxxas would follow but it least the Tmaxx/Revo models sell well. Can’t wait till those come back in Stock buy me another Blue Traxxas Tmaxx 3.3 model 😎

It very exciting series and useful in getting started in nitro. The hair look lame.

Great video. The thing is though. If your gonna race and gonna stick with it, get the race kit and build it. The RTR is just to go out and have some fun. I'm all for upgrading, but you'll spend less in the long run and have a way better racer.

They always avoid the question of how fast it goes. If he have added 2-3 more tooths on a new clutch bell it would have increased the top speed to 70kmt with that set up with the same pipe and manifold, but changing to a new high end engine, a real competition engine with more bhp with a lot more rpm and power. I got mine modded my Noarossi Virtus off road engine with ceramic bearings front and back i also bought the fastest pipe and manifold for this engine. 8mm venturi, 1mm medium springs and a lightweight 7075 clutch. The standard set up om my Xray XB9'13 i coulfd have gone even faster if my XB8 was builded and did the same thing with that, anyway on 13T, the car was doing wheelie and i reach a top speed that was around 52 mph, but added a new clutcbell with 15T so the speed increased from 80 kph- 90kph and it accelerated like ajaguar even with 15T is a lot more that can be done than just this... if i have added 13-18t CB it would have peaked well over 100kph, but that's not good for the engine, just for speed test. I just wonder is the chassis on this car 7075 alloy?

1 million tears sounds very accurate, although I paid a lot more myself :D

0:40 got me good. 😂

If you have the starter box get a back plate for more power, pull starts an roto starter's take away some top end power from the engine 💪

Can you do another one of these series with an electric 1/8 buggy or other racing class

His hair looks funny!!!!!

Scary hair !!!

I wonder... In the end it would not have been a better choice to buy a racing MP9 from the start? Many of these upgrades would have been already included, and the engine and servos would have been your choice from the beginning. I imagine that the meaning of this video series is to show that a RTR can be competitive if someone decides to. But I think I would have sold the RTR and invest in a new racing buggy entirely. Anyway, I have really enjoyed the videos!! Talking about RTR, it could be nice to see the Serpent Cobra RTR that comes with the Nova Rossi engine.

Cool

Nice fro bro.

That thing needs a proteck LS5. The stock motor seems okay but looks like it lacks bottom end on the track.

Hey Brett did you move into a light socket!?

Just saying for people out there who aren't those top racers at race events. You don't have to have crazy servos. Mark S on youtube shows some great servos that are I think 40 bucks each that are mildly fast, and have all aluminum internals and do last a good while. But if you are very serious about racing and you take it out to a track or train for races regularly you should absolutely get the 80 dollar or 150 dollar servos from protek.

.....then there's you Hair!! Dude!?! 😂👍

This is my favorite rc buggy And it's faster than 61 mph

SAFETY NOTE Re: Included RTR transmitter: Failsafe position will be "full throttle" "if" you have to reverse the throttle in the TX (as compared to the included Kyosho servo direction). I can't find any way to reverse failsafe within the RTR TX and it doesn't automatically change via servo reversing so, if you have to reverse the throttle via TX for differing servos then failsafe= full throttle and there's nothing to be done about it (within the TX). Please tell me I'm wrong; if not then the SAFETY QUESTION is: do your recommended servos transit in the same direction as the Kyosho servos? If I'm wrong about the Failsafe fluke please tell me and I'll definitely delete this post: I hate being rain! Robert

Have both mp9e and nitro neo 2.0 handle great awesome buggys nitro buggy is fast 6 gallons no problems.and pull start when box is dead lol...always starts easy... no comment on hair doo

Brett, what differential oil weights would you recommend for for this baby(front/center/rear)? I'm having some trouble finding information about things like this. I really appreciate your time and knowledge.

This guy likes to party

man i was thinking about a nitro car after this i think im not sure

you should do this for a U4RC type vehicle

You mention in Part 1 of this series that the TKI4 "..has the various upgrades.." Do you know if the TK14 has the differential shortcomings mentioned here @4:10? Or was this indeed upgraded as well?

Hey is my kyosho inferno mp9 tki4 nitro with a alpha racing 850t5p racing engine heading in the right direction?

Hey Brett, what about the Protek RC LS5 Euro for an engine

Very interesting series, So 600$ is what one have to look at to start racing for a 1/8th nitro buggy. It’s not actually that bad BUT let’s say one wishes to start with a proper KIT to have the best possible components for the chassis but then chooses the intermediate engine, servos, etc suggested in this video and start racing then maybe one can progress to a better engine servo’s etc, how much it would increase in total price?

I have my old Nitro R/Cs and when I go to my two local hobby shops they both tell me Nitro is dead lol. I honestly still love my 20 year old Nitros over my Xmaxx . Still have a working MGT and RC10GT .

Brett did u get electric shocked lol

Looking like Giorgio Tsoukolas. 😂😂 Aliens....

Is there any dif fluid in that ready set buggy? If not what's recommended?

Any thoughts on the Protek SS100 servos as an upgrade from Perfex Kyosho?

What will be the difference in the differentials "action" with the added gears?

Ive never seen a diff with only 1 bevel shaft. Didn't even know they existed.

✌🏽

So is it worth it?? Is this RTR version race ready to compete in stock nitro class?? Looking for a good RTR race ready out of box to be decent and learn skills?? I used to race nitro 15yrs ago any advice will be preciated??

Hello Brett! Why did you choose an MP9 over MP10?

Hello, how are those differential parts a necessary upgrade? Could you do a lap time comparison of the part 4 buggy VS a "state of the art" racing MP9?

nice cosplay of Giorgio Tsoukalos

And what would it have cost to buy the kit then used all the electronics, motor, transmitter and reciever

Dumb question...what fuel did you use? Was it chosen for cost or quality?

I think you should drop in the SH Engine and race it.

Hi, this is a great channel and this is a great series. I have the mp9 tki4. I'm pretty new to this, can anyone pls tell me how adding the extra bevels in the diffs would improve the performance of the car. I would like to do it on my car too.

I upgrade a rtr team Associted to a racing buggyfactory team

After you spent $626 on the RTR, couldn't you have bought and fitted out the kit version?
