Really good looking RC, the long travel shocks, chassis and the body I have always loved. same with the Egress. Thank's for the overview!

nice review, I like the Torque and Sport tuned for steady running, upgraded the bushings in that GT tuned, for kicks with AXON motor bearings, that would be an interesting upload idea, or "how to technical" never got this, but just ordered the 100th anniversary, just for the FRP, which I prefer for some odd reason over carbon

Cannot wait to build mine.......saving for the Autumn months tho. Probably will put the GT Tuned in as well. Great video, you need more subs! PS. Not even built my Top Force yet that I got during Lockdown along with others sadly

Wow, that is cool, one way front diff. The box art does not do this buggy justice. Great vid!!!👍👍👍

Great video and great car! Has to be run on a dirt track or really short grass for me, even astro turf.

Nice rig! It could be awesome to see some action on a BMX track or something like that. Cheers from Chile!

cool overview and upgrades,subbed you brother

I felt the same way with the Dark Impact 4wd buggy. Great vid bud! Run it on the grass, easier to clean after the run lol.

Awesome baja!

I think the the little circuit board is a high end resister array. You know how we used to solder in the little one back in the day. That Buggy isSuper Cleeeeeeeeean

Nice Upgrade. I built my Evo today and put an Older 23T Super Stock motor in it. The stock Silver Can was definitely a missed opportunity for the kit.

I had a manta ray in 1995 with a 11 t motor and a aluminium motor mount etc. With a 13 t pinion. It went like crazy.

Great video. I most likely will do the same and junk the silver can in exchange for something a little bit more flashy. Thats if I ever get my EVO lol...It was suppose to be early June and now Towerhobbies says July. I'm in now rush though. If you don't mind me asking, who did you orders yours through?

My original 1990 Astute had a lexan under tray. I can't bring myself to using brushed motors any more with how cheap the ebay brushless motors/esc combos cost now. Sure they are not great but they are still way better than the brushed minus some cogging issues since they are sensorless.

I also question the card plate. Using the GTTuned though, the vents also run down the side a little which helps bring me some peace 😂

I like the painted bodies

The fiber heat plate protects the plastic motor mount and gives it a little more life. Just go for a aluminium one.

And now you're going to have to get the super avenue.

That paper thing that goes on the motor is actually insulation, it keeps the heat from the motor melting the plastic its bolted to.

I think the cardboard plate is to stop dust from getting sucked into the gearbox

The card board motor plate, doesn’t interfere with heat, but was designed to prevent gear grease from getting inside. Makes one wonder why they didn’t do it for all Of them but that’s what most of the racers say to me etc. so it’s hearsay but seems logical. The running videos are good but wish you didn’t do the slow motion etc. not sure if KZfaq is the same as fb with music but lol running the top force deserves hot music like AC/DC or Metallica or whomever but something more spiced. The music you tried (good for other things), but is kinda the same as the silver can motor they sent with the car. It just needs more.

Don't be so apologetic about the supplied motor, bro. Everyone agrees with you, Tamiya went cheap on it and the EVO deserves better. 👍

Gt motor and super stock motors are ace!! Have you tried a suoer stock motor?

The cardboard part that goes between the motor and the mounting plate is for plastic motor mounts - less heat transfer will result therefore helping not melt / warp the motor mount. you do not want to use it when you have a metal motor mount.

Brraaappp, I mean wirlllll

Have you tried with 66T spur and 25T pinion? Ratio gis down to 6.44 and speed improves by more than 40%

The fibre or cardboard plate harks back to a time when people were running super hot brushed motors and plastics were brittle and fragile. I personally don’t bother with them anymore when using mildly faster motors. Just m2cw.

Isnt the circuit board a replacement for old school resisters?

i would like to see this on a track carpet with few jumps what do u think?

the cardboard insulation is to stop the plastic from melting not to help cool the motor.

On a bike track. Dirt track if possible. Would you put this motor is a Blitzer Beetle or the KongHead

Is your camera flipped as it looks like the car is laid out opposite to normally

If you could only have either the Egress, Avante 2011, or the Top Force Evo. Which one would it be and for what reason(s)?

Anybody know if there is a retro style body kit for the evo?

Have you seen the new td-4 super avante?

Astute/ Super Astute has an under tray too.

why dont they rerelease the motors too technigold please good video i wish u had all the upgrades for this..... your ending should be cool rcing lol

Do any body know whats the maximum heigh of the battery can be?

I think both the astutes had undertrays aswell 🤔

Waiting for your new irresponsible purchase of Super Avante TD4 😁
