The US Air Force decided to send me to Germany in 1986. I had somehow come across a Tower Hobbies catalog a few months before I left. I decided to take on a new hobby to keep me busy during my tour of duty, so I ordered a Turbo Optima and radio. Halfway through my tour (of 3 years) I found out US radios used an illegal frequency in Europe. I put my Optima away until I transferred back to the States. Fast forward to 2024 (I'm 62 years old now). I just ordered a Turbo Optima, a Kyosho 240S brushless motor and 240S ESC. Can't wait to put it all together and relive a bit of my youth. Peace out.

Hi, I understand regards music. YT has been a big learning curve and I have tried different methods but I know what you mean about being able to watch something without music. I personally don't like heavy rock music which many RC channels blast but we are all different. Sorry to say, my running videos don't often have a voice over and do have some music and I try to edit to the music but see what you think. I suppose you can always drop the volume if needed. Thanks for watching.👍🏻

Un KYOSHO MAD VAN serait il pas mieux que tous cette argent et temps passer pour améliorer ce modèle considéré comme un jouet.
@DustyFingersRC 16 күн бұрын
The Mad Van has its issues, in fact many people have the Mad Van just sat there broken. A friend of mine has been working on using other parts to fix the front wishbones. I get your point though as I had hoped it would be great and it has a cool vintage look but people buy the Lunchbox based on nostalgia and enjoy its driving characteristic.

I bought my first LB in 1988 when I was a kid. I ordered my second LB just now! Your upgrade videos have been super informative and provided me a nice template for mods. So, thanks for that! I do have a question though. What 2S LiPo battery are you using? I'm considering units around 4000-5000 mAh and 35C-50C discharge. My concern is if I'll damage my ESC (HW 1080 G2 and 1060) and/or motor if the discharge (current) is too great.
@DustyFingersRC 26 күн бұрын
I haven't moved over to Lipo yet. The comparison between 2S and NiMH is very little imo. I feel safer with NiMH and easier to store. I get loads of run time with 4500Mah batteries, easily enough for a long session. I also only run brushed motors so I am stuck in the good old days lol
@jxmcfarland 25 күн бұрын
@@DustyFingersRC I went with Tamiya's Sport Tuned motor for this iteration. I figured I'd bypass the NiMH batteries for the newest tech...no more resistor speed controllers and soldering individual cells for battery packs :)

Hi, yes. You buy it empty and then get the colour of paint you want to fill it. You can buy paint pens in colours you want too. There is a brand I bought a red pen of but forgot the name. I can check when I get home and message you back.

Gana Market Paint Pen. I bought a red one which seems good. I think there are many available now and this particular one only has a round tip so may not be ideal for detailing. I like the chisel tip ones myself. Montana paint is used for graffiti so pretty good stuff which is why I went that route.

This is excellent. And the paint scheme looks awesome too. Great hop up modifications too. I agree both the Hornet and Grasshopper steering arms are really flimsy almost a thin piece of wire and they are also difficult to fit a battery into. So your space saver servi is a great idea filing the suspension arms to get rid of the binding problem is a very clever fix too. Great work here mate Top marks👌👍

IMO the least frustrating path to converting Tamiyas to brushless power is a 3000kv F540 - aka 2838-size motor in a 540-size can. The motors tend to be about $15 and any cheap 35a ESC will be fine, and you don't need to buy anything else for a drop-in replacement that gives you a big power boost and better battery life. Lunch Box/Grasshopper type gearboxes can handle the increased power without any problem but as you know, the higher speeds means more broken parts when you crash.

Great video as always and a good detailed review. :) take care and enjoy !

Great review of the buggy! It is a good looking one albeit a little more on the basic beginner side of the scales. I did like the way mine drove and once I cleaned up the spur gear it was much quieter. For the price it is a nice kit and I have had fun with mine. I do agree the wheels are a bit of a miss with how much stuff gets packed into them and don't firmly secure the tires.
