The micro B, Brushed Mini B or different colour?

@@Sminen5 talk to the shop you purchased the car from and get it replaced, otherwise talk to Horizon

Hi, when you plug in the provided charger, make sure the USB C phone charger or what ever charger you use is a high output charger. What is the light sequence on the battery smart charger that was provided? Should flash red and green for a bit and then flash a slow green when charging, turns solid green when charged. Do you think your battery is charged? Also, when you turn the car on it should do the usual Spectrum chime that also counts out how many cells the battery is? Any chimes or again, nothing happens?

Hey, glad you like it, the Standard RC4WD gearbox and transfer box is what we have installed, comes with hardened gears as standard so let’s see how long it lasts :)

Hi, I didn’t initially film the motor and ESC swap but, this I can do at some point. In the mean time the motor is a straight forward swap. I moved the ESC forward as it was going to take a lot of work to keep the ESC in the factory location. All we did was to shorten the motor wires and stick the ESC on top of the steering servo with decent 3M tape. We also didn’t show that we changed the steering servo for a 50kg coreless servo which had a prefect surface to mount the ESC. Hope this helps

@@vortexrcuk thank you for that! Appreciated

@@jasonjohnson6085 hope to find out soon :) my KV may be too low but I was hoping to push taller gearing with the torque

@@OGDIABLITO hi, glad you like the video. Onboard is a DJI action 2, I wanted a small camera that didn’t break the bank and as these are second gen it’s cheap and the second generation is the smallest DJI cam that I know of. The rest of the video was filmed with the IPhone 15 Promax and fitted in a Small Rig cage. Hope this helps :) PS, camera is held with a DJI mag mount to the inside of the roof.

@@nathancunningham8717 hi, though these are heavier (no idea by how much) the weight out weighs the precision made parts and strength, if you are running stock motors and ESc etc, there’s probably not a gain to be had but, if you are running big power, there’s probably are a must :) sorry I can’t directly answer your question.

@vortexrcuk I'm running stock 150a & 2050kv at the moment in Typhon TLR but I'm planning on upgrading to HW MAX8 G2S & 4278kv

@@pesh909 Hi, agreed, the servo is a nightmare to fit and have clearance. The Reef servo was very tight and TBF, if I bin the Reef I will get a low profile servo instead.

It’s an epic boat, I have seen some horrific videos where people have smashed it to pieces, just be sensible with how you bash and run it and it will be fine :) also, tie the hatch on like we did so you don’t loose it. Enjoy :D

Hi, this allows for more servo choice, finer adjustment, the servo saver actually allows full power of the steering servo to move the wheels without loosing movement in the servo saver.

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video and even more so got your first adventure :) the winch/spoiler came direct from the manufacturer so I’m not quite sure where you may find it, I’m sure a quick little googley search will help. Have to say, though the umbilical spoiler is expensive, it’s deffo been worth having. Good luck and have fun :D

Thank you , found it

Haha, Cosmo is very happy in his job :)

Yo, the impeller makes a massive differance, USA has plenty of spares available but parts are hard to find in the UK :/

@vortexrcuk I just ordered one online thanks for the reply 👍

@@antisocialvr6 good good, I just ordered the metal intake grill and another set of bash guards as I’ve smashed the frame around the jet and you can only replace that part by buying all the other bits :/

@vortexrcuk hmm I might need to pick that up too 🤔 thanks for the reply cheers

@@tkamp18 you will need to have a look around on places like EBay, I’m not sure these are available anymore as I had a look for one for someone else and couldn’t find them :/

@@tkamp18 hey, have a look around in places like EBay. It’s been a couple years since we made this video so I have no idea if the guys even make this anymore.

@@StickyGeko because I messed up painting the factory shell lol and I had this one sitting around. Wolf in lambs clothing :)

@@vortexrcuk lol np, grab a slayer shell they're cheap

@@StickyGeko I’ll check um out, not too bothered on price TBF but also, I’ve painted this now lol. Could do with a new wing, any ideas on an indestructible wing?

@@andrataylor6070 yes, they were belted indeed.

@@82TRICKS these are available from Taylor RC, mine were modified though

@@vortexrcuk ah ok those are bad ass I just bought my first kraton 4s I’m looking for some nice wheels

@@82TRICKS ahh well….these are huge and for a 8s Kraton or Outcast, these as you can see are fitted to my extended 6s Kraton but are on M2C wheel hexes designed to take 8s 1/5th scale wheels on a 1/7th scale 6s. Does that make sense?

@82TRICKS if you are looking for wheels n tyres, badlands are the best but I’m not sure if they are made for 4S or not

@@vortexrcuk ok thanks

The impeller deffo makes a big difference and the servo upgrades, I was looking to put a micro servo on the nozzle to adjust it on the fly like one of my old real jet boats, it looks like Horizon was going to do just that and bailed on it. Glad you like the vid, can’t wait to get another, going to fit a TO motor and XLX2 marine ESC and up it to 6s lol. I’ll check out Mad Lizard…have a good one and see ya on the flip side :)

@@vortexrcuk it's difficult to know how big a difference the impeller made as also upgraded the ESC but either way it really zips now. As to micro servo, as I say check out Mad Lizard he does an awesome mounting plate for a 3rd micro servo to do the nozzle, love how I can change the attitude of the boat as the water changes between flat / chop or how it corners /slips through the water

@@frankovance2163 hi, you will need a radio that allows you to channel mix the throttle brake with the channel you have the wing on, then if the radio allows you need to set end points, a curve and even a delay like mine. I have a small delay so that the care brakes before the wing pops up, the curve that I set shallows out the wing as in increase power to the rear wheels.

@@vortexrcuk I have dx5 pro

It performs as advertised but for cars hitting over 200MPH, the advertised range isn’t safe or even close to enough! Hence anyone who speed runs running range extenders :)

@@vortexrcuk Yes, I was speaking more towards general use. The range of this radio is no where near advertised (at least for a lot of people)

@@jerryvolpini7987 not had any problems TBF as I use it without the range extender as well as with. This is a gen 1 but IDK. Still love my Futaba’s and Noble but for the money, this I feel is still a mega radio.

@@vortexrcuk I love mine as well (Futaba fan boy though, lol), I use it for no prep where a strong signal is vital. Still, a LOT of problems with this radio and Radiolink has done little (if anything) to address issues. Anyways, great job on the extender! 👍

Nothing left from the FMC, all Furitek, Treal etc, just the shell that’s FMC :D

As quoted, Furitek Godzilla motor :)

She is awesome, they are awesome. Enjoy yours :) check out Scorched parts for awesomeness, M2C and Vitavon. We are going to dig this truck back out and change the motor and ESC to a TP motor and Castle MMX8s for giggles, will chuck a Roto Lock motor mount in again :) as said enjoy and glad you liked the video.

@vortexrcuk Been diving into scorched parts and m2c heavily it's a damn addiction 🤣 picked up some vipaz drifting wheels aswell which are a blast to run! Grabbing a m2c motor mount and mesh adjustment set from m2c then installing a max 6 g2 1650kv combo so I can really see this baby open up!! Can't wait to see more videos from ya! Have yourself a wicked week brotha 🙏 and apologies for the delayed reply :) rc took me away for a while

@@No_Brake_Nation it is an addiction for sure, I wanted to buy those tyres but just can’t bring myself to self to pay that for them lol. M2C and Scorched is definitely the way, if you want the best batteries after you upgrade your USC etc, get onto Onyx! I only use Onyx now, little sag and wow amounts of power. I have two more custom Infractions yet to run, one twin motor and one max 4 12S setup, just been waiting on body tech and wheel tyre tech. Stay tuned and thanks for the love :)

Yes, RC, fully proportional with Gyro. We will unbox a couple in a video soon

It's the track for the racing version. The drift track is from a different material. This track gives the car to much grip

@MichelVermeulen2612 it did until I used pledge furniture polish on it, the cars drift with more control now, especially the newer C65.

@vortexrcuk Nice. I got the c65 limited version on its way. Also got that drift track with it. Curious to see how it goes. Fyi, the turbo racing item number is 760260 for the drift track.

@@MichelVermeulen2612 I know the track, I just didn’t like the layout, the track I have now works really well now it’s polished. I tried to order the LTD edition c65 but out of stock. TBF I have two R34 Skylines we haven’t really unboxed and I still need to do a video on them and the C65 I’ve been getting some practice in before the video for that. Still I may well just get the drift track anyways, just hoping that Turbo Racing release a bigger drift track.

It’s nice for sure but a little better anodising would have been good. It has transformed the truck into an utter monster :)

It truly is awesome, my only advice building this is, use a servo saver as Reef99 servos have chocolate gears and a couple jumps mashes them.

Radio controlled space station haha

Hey man, I’ll quickly look for another link so you can order, Ali Express does them for sure

I just posted another couple links :) enjoy.

Thanks for the tip!, I actually have a small D shackle to attach the loop from the Umbilical to the hole on the tail fin, just didn’t for this test as I knew it wasn’t going to go far. Great you noticed :) and many thanks for reaching out. Just waiting on weather to go back out.

@@vortexrcuk just didnt want you to loose the drone. Still happy with it? What’s good what’s bad?

@@Ruzkig it’s a good little rig, I work in deep see exploration so it made sense to get this. It’s very intuitive if you have flown drones. It’s not a perfect ROV as you can’t strafe sideways or roll the ROV but for exploration and inspections, it’s great. It is heavy for its size but well built. The thrusters are very easy to replace if damaged and the arm is fairly easy to fit and remove. I did have to adjust the arm as I felt the tether to control the arm was too tight when screwed into the ports/Sockets. The interface is easy to read but I really time navigation under the water is required or you will get disorientated. It’s a good thing that the tether is also directly connected to the handset instead of having to worry about a WiFi signal dropping out. You can also hard wire your phone to the handset and even run a screen via HDMI. You can also transmit visuals to other people’s phones during inspections.

@@Ruzkig have you got a ROV/Drone?

@@vortexrcuk no, but I’m looking into buy one.

So far the GRP’s outlasted the Hoons, I even put the GRP’s on our Typhon which was way way more powerful and burned them out until liquid (in one of our videos available on the channel) GRP’s should be good for around 150MPH as proven by quite a few speed guys. There is some research saying that if you get tyres hot, it affects the glue and then the tyres explode off of the rims. For now for us, they have worked well.

@@vortexrcuk I must have had a bad batch. I don't even think I went over 20mph

@@RizzyDRC it’s been known in the past that some fail for no good reason so it’s very possible that you just had a bad experience

Thanks :)

Thanks for the info, we shall take a look :)

Not when we bought this :)

Absolutely. I used to do that when racing. Now this does things a little more accurately for my speed cars as they can hit over 200 MPH, the forces are intense with the type of RPM. Old scool is good scool though :)

Lol. Balaced is balanced no mater how fast it spins.

@PHILLIPfry2010 Balanced is balanced indeed but, it’s more important on our speed cars as our wheels already explode at high RPM, Hence, I feel they need to be perfect to give the best chance of surviving. The thing with this device is it tells you how much weight to put and exactly where to put it, if there is friction in the bearing on the gravity ballancer, it will miss fine adjustments meaning the wheel isn't actually as balanced as one thought. Anyways, flaws in both systems, but both work. I've already tried to trick this unit with adding weight to unbalance the wheel and it picked it up and corrected it. Again, there are many ways to do something and what anyone does depends on budget and practicality.

Yep, you can but this has worked out more accurate and less faff, as I said in the video, not for everyone. If on a budget, use gravity, if you have cash to flash, this is for you :).

I thought the same but I deliberately unbalanced some wheels and it picked it up immediately and shows me how to rebalance them so in short, it definitely works. When I start skimming my foams I think this balancer will come into its own.

I’ll have to have a look and see if there is any difference between the FTX and Abisma. I noticed the radio for the Abisma is the same as Furitek supply. Feeling they are all from the same factory maybe?

@vortexrcuk yep I think they are remote with dip switches and 2 speed same as fms crawler rc's the v1 controller esc its out doing my scx24 and fms max smasher that I turned into a crawler. 👍🏻

@Rc_Alex_76 ah so the FTX is 2 speed like the Max Smashers (Smasher) the Abisma is only single speed.

A bit of cutting haha

Hi, this is a silicone solder station mat, I use them for my small builds, here is a link on Amazon :) amzn.eu/d/7I3wjXs

Actually, I slightly disagree, my speed run cars can reach over 200mph, with that kind of RPM this does make a huge difference, if you are just playing, yeah, I can see it’s not needed. Have a good one

I love seeing tires with counter weights on them. I've found if you get a weight that is the weight of the difference between the two that are counter weighted, and place it in the middle of the distance between them. Then remove the 2 old ones and it'll balance, if it doesn't then something is wrong with the rim or tire.

Hey, Scorched parts are some of the best in the world for sure, I have three builds now with Scorched parts and still need more lol. Hopefully the parts are in stock for you soon! Reminds me, I need to have an order with them again lol.

And what is your experience? Please share.
