My 2 year old has been beating on one of these for about 6 months. Full throttle into rocks, the shed, the fence, the house…no issues except a broken shock when she tried to ride it like a skateboard. Now upgraded with oil filled temu shocks and handles good. Great little rigs for the money!

No offense meant, and maybe it's only me.... I don't mind "A.I." music of the instrumental kind. The lyrics creep me out though. I have my own channel, and I'm not judging you, it's hard to find music for so many videos wothout it getting repetitive. I repeat, I'm not trying to be that whiner in the comments, and I'm definitely not being that guy in the comments who tells you what to do with your channel. It's just a suggestion.

@rccrazy6 күн бұрын
The cobra and blast are the same car, identical parts and lengths all round and post holes are in the same spots so yes direct fit. Not sure about the Legendary nitro, I've not had any Legendary cars but I know there are different length vrx chassis, I assume Legendary has also so I think it would depend on the chassis length.

Yes the cobra style looks good think that why people like them so much despite them being quite weak. But from what I can see online the nitro chassis and the long wheel base chassis of the cobra are infact different, cobra is longer and has a plastic chassis the nitro has a shorter alloy and chassis, you'd probably just need to drill new post holes to fit the cobra shell.

@kylarstern7627 you can still run the bumper without drilling holes, just means the tower will be more like a bump stop than a mounting point. I have many cars with bumpers like that, some I used zip ties to mount that specific part to the tower if it looked too vulnerable. Works fine as long as you don't land upside-down nose first and rip the bumper off😅

Yes, i understand that RWD is fun as well, but what about those weirdos who claim that it's all about "skill" and 4wd is for "p*ssies" who can't drive, and that 4wd adds no actual functionality, and a "good" 2WD truck can go everywhere that a 4wd truck can go. I know that's BS with 1/1 scale trucks, but what is your opinion regarding scale driving? It sounds like arrogant nonsense to me, but the only time i drove 2wd was when my front diff was busted, so that isn't quite the same. PS: from the 3 Aussie RC channels i watch, i noticed that you say "stock standard" instead of the "bog standard" that we'd say on west coast USA. Is that because like the UK, "bog" means "toilet" ? I'm trying to aquire more world knowledge for my stand-up routine. I'm gonna be the next Carrot Top 😢

@rccrazy8 күн бұрын
In basically every scenario if your running the same power in two cars, one rwd and the other 4wd 9 times out of 10 the 4wd will dominate. It does take a bit of extra skill to drive rwd cars I guess but I much prefer the feeling of a 4wd, still takes practice and skill. And honestly I've never heard the saying Bog standard, stock standard actually has many uses but one definition is "ordinary or standard, most usual" so I've just grown up using it. Example, In Australia the standard rims you get on most cars made to mount hubcaps onto we call "stockies"
