@@hybrid32494 hey! Heck yeah I just googled it and it was actually 2003, I remember being like 15 years old, and there were elite level racers from Germany, Japan, and other places... It was crazy tough competition in the 1:10 onroad classes, I was running a Lola body R40 at that time and placed very low. The MT class had only a few people in it though and I beat a couple, coming in 3rd overall which was awesome and such a cool experience with my dad... Especially now that everyone's older and we don't get to do stuff like that anymore. Hey I also wanted to tell you I bought an almost brand new Serpent SRX8 buggy a couple days ago on ebay, from another KZfaq reviewer. I saw your vid on that buggy and a Livestream you did about it too, and I'm super excited! Mine has the Serpent branded engine, I'll probably eventually change to a proper non pullstart race engine but not something so finicky that I need a warming blanket and stuff. Any recommendations there bro? I was looking at Alpha 4 engine and pipe set...

it's crazy how many brands come and go and to be honest i forgot XTM even existed in till i came a crossed this video thanks again! If you ever get a chance you should try to do a review on the nitro GS Racing 1/10 Shadow ST1R 4WD they have them on ebay new which is crazy since they are vintage, and the only downside is shipping takes about 2 weeks since its coming from taiwan.

@ToyKingWonder Жыл бұрын

The XTM has great speed even for today. And it IS a gas hog....which just makes it better. Ours I bought for my son YEARS ago for his birthday, and it has been on the shelf next to my AE RC10GT. I had so much fun with his that I bought the AE a few days later for myself. Who would have known that I happened to buy two trucks that turned out to be among the highest regarded nitro vehicles of the period. They both have been sitting on my hobby shelf for several years with broken starter strings. I decided to get them both going again, starting the the AE, and then the XTM which I JUST drove a few minutes ago. The AE had a jammed throttle and I worked it until I loosened it up....using some techniques that likely would be frowned upon. Oddly, I had to make a bunch of adjustments to get it running right. The XTM required no adjustments other than brake and idle. I converted them both over to the Sullivan Tiger Drive gearboxes for starting the trucks with a drill. My old 12V Black and Decker just would not spin fast enough, so I bought a new 18V Ryobi. Makes a world of difference. I always hated those pull starters. Mine is ultra fast too....before you know it, it is almost out of sight if you are on a big parking lot like I go to. It is faster than the AE, which is no slouch either. I actually have some electric RC cars, but nitro is something special as it requires more skill to make it all happen, so a really good run is even more exciting.

Hey bro! The weird part with the radio glitching was it only glitched when the motor was running, that I never encountered before. No big deal though, it's much easier for me to just run one radio with 20 model memory like the flysky, which also has very easy to use fail-safe settings. Something else to consider is when I'm running the camera on-board there is extreme signal loss with anything other than a good 2.4 GHz system.
