It's broke in now. You can see that in the second run video. It's running great with a nice smoke trail.

They weren't cheap back then either. But I bet all that hard work paid off! Do you still have it?

Very true. I prob. should not of said that. This is by far my favorite rc I own.

lol.. They know when I'm about to turn on the camera. It's kinda relaxing building with my fur babies around.

100% Agreed 👍 I think they would be a hot seller. Especially if they design it to fit modern nitro engines.

@@nwirc Since a majority if not all of Kyosho re releases all have sold out, and then be backed ordered, it would be a no brainer,

@@nwirc I would definitely pick one up.

That would be great. Just need to find someone that could make me one. Great idea.. Thanks

Might have been called Mint Las Vegas in the US. 2WD

I agree 100%..

I didn't even think of that and I may just do that. I remember in my teenage years repairing 3 wheeler carb gaskets out of cardboard. It didn't last but I was broke and wanted to have fun. Thanks for the tip!

I'll keep that in mine. I'm usually all around the engine thinking I was good. Thanks for the tip.

No problem. I've ran it twice and will have a updated video on the 3rd run.

I remember dreaming about them in the catalogs too. I ended up finding this one used and paid a small fortune for it. They are still available on mainly ebay but they are not cheap nowadays.

Thank you..

Thank you sir.. Can't wait to see it on 30% fuel! That will be the next video. I think it will hit the claimed 40 mph the factory says. I wanted to get a video out today but ended up with another aquarium lol.

I do apologize for not updating. I will do my best to get a video out on this beast very soon. I think you'll like what I have under my sleeve for it. Again sorry and promise to update soon. Thanks

I've heard that those inner fenders work great.

@nwirc man they are a game changer. I will try to do a quick review of them this week on my channel. I had forgot to mention that I have that Spektrum setup in my Mojave RTR 6S. I have mine setup with 25T Pinion and stock spur. I run two Zeee 9000mah 4S 100c packs. LMAO! That thing is going to need some heavy duty tires and a wheelie bar on 8S.

No I sure haven't. I will do that this weekend and will get back to you. It should definitely go farther than 100'.

Not this time but I do have a 2 stroke baja that will be seen soon on this channel.

Are you running high speed props? That's how I blew my esc. I haven't had any issues with my 120c with stock props after replacing the stock esc. I'm definitely considering going with a 180a esc in the near future.

Help me better understand your questions. If you're asking about a electric conversation then I would have no idea. Any remote with a compatible receiver will work with this.

Yes. I've been doing it this way for years. I'll idle 3 or 4 tanks and let the engine cool between tanks. Then finish the break in just how you seen in this video.

Yeah it's crazy power but so much fun. It only goes as fast as you squeeze the trigger lol. I need to get street tires to do pavement speed runs.

Absolutely.. I take it and go through it. It would definitely make for some great content for our channel. Email me northwestindianarc@gmail.com Thank you for your generosity.

@@nwircIt’s very interesting how nitro RC’s are basically worthless to people after a certain amount of time. I was given a couple old ones by an acquaintance. Very interesting to think about the logistics of everything.

This is very true.. He never contacted me which is all good. I would be more than happy to fix it up. I like all gass, nitro and electric rc's.

I would like to get the electric version too. I'm taking it out today to some speed runs and see if it will hit 40 mph speeds it claims out of the box.

​@@nwircI think it should hit that speed 😀👍👍

@@rcplaytime Just waiting on more 20% fuel to arrive. The 33% came today but I don't want to run that in this truck while it's breaking in.

The best thing is you can customize it to your likings.

Man I know the feeling.. It will be awesome once you get it up and running.

Thank you. It's by far my favorite in my collection.

I'll be taking all of my hands apart and redoing the soldering joints and will check that negative pin. Thank you

It's by far my favorite rc to date. It bring back my childhood as well.

I must have overlooked the smoke from being excited to get it started. I fixed that issue in the second run video. I've only had it out twice and plan on running it this weekend.

I have some and love them. Thanks

That's some awesome advice! I have 4 of those wands and will redo all the soldier points. Thanks

I ended up replacing it with a new one but cleaned and saved the old one. Thanks

Not yet but hopefully soon. It was definitely one of my favorite builds though.

That's an awesome story. I had the battery cable starter style as well back in the late 80s. I had a choice to buy a used Vanning or RC 10 and went nitro cause I thought it was the coolest thing as a teen. Unfortunately it had gotten stolen from about 9 years ago. I bought this one around 2 years ago and only ran it twice. It's just awesome to own one again.

@@nwirc yup that's the one and glad to hear you used that as well ..aww man that sucks damn thiefs and yes diffently wanted to hear that sound like a dirt bike and that chain driven was awesome.. sold mine when I went off to college but now regretting it..

@nwirc we were fortunate kids because they were $400-500 and that was alot of money back then,brand new dirt bike was like $700 -800 ..

@@Jayski2 Mine was $350 used but in great shape back then. My aunt bought it for as a gift so I could go have fun with my cousin. He had the Burns Dx.

I did the same thing. I did get a used one back then but it was cheap.

Thank you for the tip. I will look into this soon.

I wouldn't charge much at all.. Basically parts and shipping but I just don't have the time brother. I can barely keep up with my daily chores with all that's going on. For me building is the best part of this hobby.

Yes they were very expensive back then. My original Vanning had gotten stolen about 9 years ago that I had since I was 13. I found this one a couple of years ago and paid a small fortune for it but it was worth it to me.

I got real lucky that all my issues was small adjustments to get it working.

I can say when it was running good I had a blast not to mention it is the only nitro truck with reverse gear,

Yes.. I'm in no way an expert and never will claim to be. If I was coming off rude or condescending then I do apologize. I was just having fun modifying a boat. Thanks

I've only ran it twice so far. Sometimes I just can't help myself to take it for a spin. Thanks

Not that I'm aware of.. Sure would be nice if we had that option for these beasts.

I'm 48 and love both electric, nitro and gas. I messed up alot of these not knowing what I was doing back in the late 80's but for some reason this hobby had always stuck with me and can't let it go. I've learn lots during the years and many more to come.

I would buy the stock receiver pack it came with along with the starter wand.. You'll want to take the engine apart and clean the internals out and don't for to completely take apart the carb. Make sure all of the servos are working properly. The trans should be fine. I would take the slipper clutch out and inspect it too while you have the engine out. Hope this helps.

Verizon? I'm sure you ment Horizon. Mine was under warranty to they connected me with proboay.. Try contacting Proboat.. They didn't give me a part # which was kinda a disappointment to our community. I would've love to share this info.

Yes I did mean Horizon but they end up sending me a whole new set of thumb screws and the nuts for the canopy. Thank you. I appreciate the advice.
