Wow that buggy does look nice. Thanks for the detailed video about it
David, I really enjoy your videos! They are very informative and I appreciate your objective editorials. One suggestion: can you lower the volume on the background music as it sometimes interferes with your excellent narrative. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Very much appreciated. 😊 Several people have made similar comments and in particular this video seems to be quite bad. It's funny though, on my iMac and MacBook the audio sounds ok, but play the video on a smartphone and the BGM seems really loud! 🤷♂️
Hopefully I've finally figured it out. 👍
Thanks David. The chassis looks quality. Feel they could have done a bit more with the body design. I love retro, but it looks a bit unfinished to me.
They’ve certainly gone with a simple design with very few character lines, creases etc. It would have been nice to have a few more details in the design.
I really like the simple graphics you went with on the body. Nice and clean looking.
Thanks! I prefer simple designs with few decals. 👍
Great overview and look at all that makes up the buggy! It does seem to be a bit more high-end than the Genova and the Dirt Master and I think you are going to have fun with it out on the track. I definitely looks nicely designed and race oriented! I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the performance of it and how it stacks up with the others!
I had the chance to run it at the weekend and it is a real performer. 👍 I shot some footage, but between me being focused on the buggy, the circuit being busy and memory cards being full I wasn't able to get much footage.😅 But stay tuned, a video will be coming! 👍
Thank you for uploading😊 Referring to your info, I also put in a low-pro servo👍
Glad the information was useful! 😊
Great video David. I saw this one come out and was intrigued although not a whole lot on RUclips about it. Nice to see your videos and you are really making me want one for my track. Appreciate your time.
I'm working on a review video at the moment, but after 3 hours of track time I've got to say I am very, very impressed with the S1 RM. It ticks all the boxes for me. Superb build quality, fantastic handling and it looks great too. It received plenty of positive comments from other drivers too. 👍
To be honest I'm a little surprised it is not getting more attention!
Great video, the car looks very slick.
Yes! It was getting a lot of positive comments at the track this past weekend. 😊
Thanks for sharing the build 👌🏻and it’s definitely a looker, bring on the comparisons
Thanks for watching. I’m really liking the styling of the S1 RM. 😎👍
Looks fantastic David,very nice.👌
Thanks 👍
Mine just arrived :)
I just watched your unboxing! 👍 Good luck with the build. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the body. 🙂
Can't wait to see a running video.
Thanks! I shot some footage today and yesterday while I was at the track, but as it was busy it wasn't possible to do any chase footage or tracking shots.
Bit of Mat Watson in there. Nice work - very funny.
Thanks! 😄
Brilliant video Matt (I mean David 😂🤣) looks like a great kit and it is really nice to see some different manufacturers creating some lovely looking RCs. Thanks for sharing David 🙌🏻
Absolutely! Hopefully more manufacturers will follow suit as there is definitely interest in this class of modern meets vintage.
I was able to get a brief shakedown run done yesterday and I was very, very impressed. 👍 It needs so more tuning to get it set up right for the circuit I run on. I’m back at the track today for some more track time. 👍😊
Lovely review thank you from the UK
Thanks for watching and commenting, from David in Japan (But grew up in Derby! 😁)
This looks very interesting 🙂
Thanks! I had a blast running this at my local track this past weekend. Came away very impressed with what it could do. 👍 Looks absolutely amazing too. 😎
Good build vid and review. Looking forward to seeing it run.
Thanks! Hopefully get some proper running footage next weekend. 👍
Great video David the kit looks very good with quality parts and the finished buggy looks awesome, would be nice if it’s available worldwide, I’d love to get one here in the UK 🇬🇧 😊
I'm pretty sure I remember Gavin at RC Kicks mentioning he was going to get one on his channel, which leads me to believe they will be available in the UK at some point. I believe they are also available in the USA.
Looks like a vanta glamis uno which I need parts for since no one makes any..
Awesome vid David as always it’ll be great to see this run against the others from Genova,kyosho Tamiya and see which you prefer or recommend😊 keep up the great work dude Pete
Thanks! I spent some time at the circuit today running the S1 RM, Dirt Master and Genova back to back. I recorded some laps, but as the track was busy and I was focused more on fine tuning the handling, I don't think it's very good footage. I plan to return next weekend, hopefully get some proper timed laps and better running footage. Stay tuned! 👍
Nice as usual
Thanks! 😊
Hey David - great video and awesome looking buggy. Are the pink and silver painted? If so, what colors have you used?
Yes, I painted them! The silver is PS-41 Bright Silver and the Pink is PS-29. 👍
Great looking car. Top video as usual.
Thanks 👍
Great video! What's the manual holder you're using?
Thanks! It's a bookstand by a company called Reodoeer. They're available on Amazon. 👍
You should build a pr sb401r i have never build sutch a precise and smooth differential not even close on the xray xb4 21 i have 😅
Don't tempt me! 😁 I've been eyeing the SB401-R ever since I got the S1 RM. But I've already got a YZ-4 and while 4WD performs well on the track, it requires more maintenance and is more expensive to repair when you inevitably have a disagreement with the barriers. 😅 😩
Plus, I've still got to get around to building my JJ Ultima, not to mention there is a Super Dog Fighter and Optima Mid '87 Worlds spec on the way! 😅
@@KaiCityRC i feel you brother i also ordered a xb4 23 it was in an special offer befor they change tp 13.2mm shocks next month:) but probably wont come...
Ill try the pr s1 it seems nice how is the endurance of that thing is it any better than yokomo or kyosho with the metal chassi/shocks?
Did you buy the black wheels or did you die them?
Looks like a quality vehicle though !
I dyed the stock wheels black. 👍
Any chance this would hit the market in the USA?
I believe it will soon be available the USA. Check out PR Racing’s USA Facebook page for more info. 👍
What spur gear and pinion do you use with the 17.5t motor?
77T spur and around 24T pinion to suit the track/regulations.
Nice build. What's it cost?
It retails for ¥36,000 here in Japan. So that's about $250 or £200 or so.
Nice buggy, we've now got quite a few competitors on this type of buggy. I wonder why they don't sell the genova in EU.
Is your shock stand 3d printed ? Looks good !
I think G Force are really missing out by not making the Genova available in other markets.
The shock stand is a Kyosho one. 👍 I believe they’re still available.
Yes me too, must be some reason behind it but would surely sell quite a few as people already import them from Japan
Thanks for the info, will have a look !
Looking forward to see the next vid
Great Video! Where do you purchase this? On their (PR) website there is no purchase link
I got mine from an online retailer in Japan. There’s a link in the description. 👍 I believe they’re also available in the UK, Europe and the US.
At 4:05 you write about the kit including universals. This is wrong, as they are CVDs .
Well spotted! 😅
Any chance this will make it to Europe do you think?
I remember someone commenting on the unboxing video I did that there was a distributor in Europe. And I seem to recall Gavin over at RC Kicks mentioning picking one up in the UK too. 👍
I believe there is a shop in Ireland that is stocking PR products. It was mentioned in a channel I just watched called Tim’s RC Repair. He also did a first build of PR vehicle. The newest Stadium truck.
I am in Canada and I must say these PR Racing vehicles really have my interest! Now to get one too BC Canada….. hahaha
Great vids by the way! I really enjoy your channel! I do love the Kyosho stuff! Cheers!
Thanks for watching! 😊
