Thanks Dirk! I was very happy to see the 74mph pop up on the screen! Of course I had to try for the "one more run" and thankfully it was just donuts and not a spectacular crash! It was a funny end to the challenge!
Brilliant run, Addam, great driving. It must really require some focus and quick response to hold a straight line considering the looseness affecting rear toe angle
I'd like to say there is a lot of it on my end but it is a lot of hoping for the best and making as small of corrections as possible! That wonky rear hub was not helping anything but they are out of stock everywhere so I had to run what I had! thankfully everything held up and survived.
Oh wow Addam, that's some acheivement right there! And you also made sure that you gave us a walk of shame too! 😂😂 Good job that first run was fast before the tyre decided to go it's own way!!! Congrats my friend, you did a great job! 🤝👏😎👍
I was so happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen! I had set a goal for 70 and I was not going to stop until it did it or went up in flames trying! It was a huge relief as it is the fastest I have been with one yet and it also meant I could stop trying to go fast LOL!!! I am glad the tire held on for the first run and that is the worst of it. I have seen the foam tires shred off the wheels but have not seen on roll off like this one before. It made for a funny ending to it all! You did get the long distance walk of shame in there too!
Thanks Fil! I was so happy to see the 74 on the screen! It was fun (and a bit trying at times... SMASH!) and I am very happy I beat my goal speed. It is also the fastest car I have which is terribly ironic! LOL! Thanks for all the hard work keeping track of everything!
Nice run! I understand that one more run. This chassis sure likes to leave the ground. I never really figured out how to keep wheels solid on the ground. And also went through some tires 🤷♂️
Thanks! The one more run comment got more than a few of us in trouble this year! I was very happy to see the 74 pop up on the screen as I beat my goal and it also meant I could stop trying to go fast or a while LOL! These are some twitchy little things and tend to have a mind of their own at speed! Thankfully the tires are not terribly expensive and are easier to get than some of the parts for them now! That F parts tree (the red parts) is hard to find now!
That was a rocket! 74 mph flying! I actually think the slight dampness helped with it gripping and not flipping when it got out of control. looks like the front toe out helped it too! Nice job Addam!
It did track a lot straighter with the front toe out. Still wanting to tumble slowing it down but it is over and it came home in one piece! I will strip the electronics out of it and retire it just as it is. Kind of my own personal best trophy. The wreckage from the first one will get rebuilt into the beetle and get run at a much slower pace!!
Thanks Michael! It was getting it across the parking lot! Sure makes a big parking lot feel small quickly! I was so happy to see that 74mph pop up on the screen though. I beat my goal and that meant I could stop trying to go fast for a while LOL!!
Nice run¡!!!! Congratulations on your well-deserved 74 mph. As far as the just one more run. Welcome to the club. I might be the unofficial president of the we will send it one more time club.
LOL! At least it was something small that failed and nothing catastrophic! I have seen the foam tires shred off the wheels but have not seen on roll off like this one before. It was a funny ending to it all! Boy was I happy and relieved to see that 74 pop up on the screen. Both a personal best and it meant I could finally give up, well after one more run LOL! Take care Joe and I'll be looking for the one more run with the leaner body!
Thanks Pete! I was very happy to see that 74mph pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
Thanks Jeremy! The rear was a bit of a concern as I felt it was going to be pushing to one side. It ran well and came home in one piece albeit a tire blown out. I was very happy to see the 74 pop up o the screen! Happy I hit the goal and relieved it lived through it and I could stop trying to go fast! LOL!
It was getting it across there! I was super happy to see the 74mph show up on the screen and very relieved as well! I can stop trying to go fast for now! I just got the electronics stripped out of it and it will stay just like it is as my own personal best trophy with all its road rash glory! I have the other 90% rebuilt. I need a rear hub and a screw pin to get it completed, need to find some in stock! we have kind of cleared out the US stock of MF01 parts over the last month! LOL!
So awesome Addam. Glad you could get out there and do a real official run! When you did that first pass at 74MPH that motor sounded like it had A LOT more in it to give. Good thing you were at a big open parking lot for the run this time. Seems like the faster you go the more width of space you need. Anyway…awesome to you out there again and what a great run…congrats!
Thanks Freddy! I was super happy to see the 74mph show up on the screen! I was also relieved, happy I past my goal and relieved I could stop trying LOL! Going fast is stressful and expensive! I am sure it had some more in it but it is good enough and I have already stripped the electronics from it so it can retire on the shelf just as it is, all road rashed and banged up! The big parking lot got very small fast once it gets up to speed! I had to hit the brakes a bit harder than I wanted to on the first run ending in the tumble but it was better than tearing into the woods! Thanks again and have a great week!
Last I can't believe you finally did it That's absolutely amazing that little thing hits 74 miles an hour It's also amazing a manufacturer makes a 7700 KV motor I'm glad you didn't break anything
I was very happy to see the 74 pop up on the screen! Between the accidental deletion of footage, the devastating wreck and the weather getting runs in for this challenge have been the challenge this year! It was cool to get it going so fast, my new top speed from any car so that was really neat! I think I am leaving this one just like it is, ratty body and all, to live as my own trophy for passing my goal! The wrecked one will get fully rebuilt and get turned into the beetle to get run at a later date.
Wow Addam..... Congratulations on hitting your target of 70,smashing it out the park infact with an awesome 74mph !!!! 🏆 Even managed to get a cheeky walk of shame in,delightful! Been great following along fella.😊 👍 👍 👍
Thanks James, it did well and I was so happy and relieved seeing that 74mph pop up on the phone! Happy I beat the goal speed and also relieved I don't have to try and go fast for a while! LOL! It was fun but two back to back was a lot! I had to leave the lonnnnggggg walk of shame in there! it was the last one so i had to leave it in there. At least it had a had a good tune to go along with it! Take care and have a great week my friend!
@@AddamsPlayground Great stuff Addam..... I could literally see the joy on your face when that first time came up!! Totally agree about having the two different challenges over lapping.... we ended up only doing one as a result. Time/finances were not on our side..... also the rockets for the car took 6 weeks to arrive from China! We only received them last week, then I went down with covid! (again!) But, I really enjoyed watching all you guys run...... still kinda gutted we never made it though. Now I need to decide what to do with the m0f01x chassis we bought, a platform that's not really ever been on my radar! Best wishes buddy. 😊 👍 👍 👍
@@AddamsPlayground It's already built mate..... we bought rc Doms one off him just for the competition! (chassis only) In all honesty, it doesn't do a huge amount for me. Although I have got a rather nice mk1 bubble arch escort body that Peter Smith kindly bought me that could potentially fit it..... perhaps turn it into a retro rally car? 🤔 Perhaps a project for the winter? Or I may just sell it on to get some cash back to enable me to get the General Lee rebuilt, which is currently a total wreck!! 😅 👍 👍 👍

@@mattmclafferty6265 I have the Top Force to build as well. I am not sure what the next one will be. I am thinking maybe a 6x6 just build a fun one and not worry about speed or performance and just enjoy silly and bouncy for a bit!
Hi there Addam and Gina!👩🤠. A massive congratulations on your 74 mph mate, well done🏁🍻. Hopefully you can take out the prize for most spectacular crash and carnage😃. Thanks to Gina and yourself for going all out and for all your great speed run challenge video's mate, we saw some crazy unexpected spin outs and tumbles and Ingrid even got right into the crash investigation side of things when things went belly up, it was a bunch of fun seeing my girl smile, laugh and cringe at your action then she'd try to investigate and come up with reasons why your beast crashed, so proud of her getting right into the video's and having fun. We hope you both are well and enjoying life 👍👩😁🦘👧
Thanks guys! I am glad you both enjoyed it and Ingrid could play a bit of a sleuth trying to investigate the crash. Honestly I think the first one in this run was me getting on the brakes too hard. I realized the big parking lot gets a lot small at those speeds and the bottom of the lot was coming up a lot faster than I expected it to! I figured better to brake hard and tumble than see it flying into the tress! The second time was the tore rolling off the wheel, I think it was coming off mid run and that is why it started pulling left towards the van. I was counter steering a lot at the end and when I let off the throttle it just spun round and round. Thankfully nothing catastrophic and it does not have to be rebuilt. This one is going to live on the shelf just as it is (minus the go-fast electronics) as my own personal trophy of the event and the fastest I have gone so far. It is kind of ironic the dinky 4wd rally chassis is my fastest car! LOL! I am glad you both enjoyed the runs and I am relieved it is over for now. I can get back to going slow and being happy about it! LOL! Take care guys and have a wonderful week!
Thanks! I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
It really did help at speed to keep it stable and not darting around. Super fast little guy indeed, I have no idea how the guys going 90+ are doing it and keeping them together!
Yeah I cannot seem to keep it from tumbling! It lands on its tires pretty much every time so that is nice! I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
Not sure if you could hear it in the video but both of us were going "eeeeewwwwwwwww" as it flew past the front of the van!!! I guess claiming the other one to the post as sacrifice appeased the RC gods enough to not take this one too! I was so happy and relieved to see that 74mph pop up on the phone! Happy I exceeded my goal and relieved I can stop trying to go insanely fast now! LOL!!
@@AddamsPlayground Oh I head that exclamation! Going fast can be thrilling but the stakes for failure are so high...especially when launching a fully plastic car that performs an unscheduled disassembly while flipping arse over teakettle at 50 mph.
@@canuckchuck8836 They are surprisingly tough as long as they don't encounter immovable objects! It is nerve wracking but fun at the same time. It definitely gets the blood pumping!
Thanks! I was very happy to see the 74mph pop up on the screen and relieved too! Happy I hit the goal and relieved it lived through it and I could stop trying to go fast! LOL!
Yes! This went a lot smoother than that previous one did LOL!!! I was very happy to see the 74 show up on the screen! Also relieved I could call it done and stop trying to go fast! LOL!
Yeah the El Camino was there the last time we went up there, I am guess they work on the weekends and travel with someone else to work, I am sure it is terrible on gas mileage! LOL! I was super happy to see the 74mph show up on the phone as I exceeded my goal and I can quit trying to go fast for a while! LOL! I wonder what it is going to be next year?
I think it was its way of telling me it has had enough of this stuff and to turn around and head home LOL!!! It has been fun and I was really happy to see that 74mph show up on the phone screen!!
Thank you! It was so nice to see that 74 mph pop up on the screen! It did well and I think it may have had a little more in the tank but we'll never know. It is now gutted of the go-fast stuff and will just a be a personal trophy with its slightly beat up body!
Hey Addam, a wonderful achievement my friend, 74mph is awesome! When you consider what we do, we run a plastic / metal toy, at huge speeds, containing essentially a potentially explosive power source, without a licence or indemnity…food for thought 🤔🧐🤔anyway my friend, absolutely amazing, you should be very pleased with that result, so glad you didn’t get the horrible weather. Best wishes to you and the family 😎😉😎
Thanks John! It was flying out there and you are right, flying these things around is a bit dangerous. Staying away from people is a must. We were a bit on edge as that last run got pretty close to the van down there but thankfully it was just my car that took any damage out there! I was so very happy when that 74mph showed up on the screen! Happy and relieved as I am kind of done trying to go fast this year! It was fun but a lot of work and stressing if and when I was going to be able to go out for another run! It all worked out and I am very satisfied with my results! Take care my friend and have a wonderful week!
Congratulations Addam, that was well worth waiting for and just goes to show you don’t necessarily need perfect geometry etc (though it does help) to go fast.
Thanks Tony, it was very nice to see the 74 pop up on the screen! I was happy and relieved! Happy I hit the goal and relieved it lived through it and I could stop trying to go fast! LOL! Well after one more run! It was a funny end to it when the one more run ended in the blown tire and told me to go home, it was done!
Thanks! I was very happy to see the 74mph pop up on the screen!!! I am sure nobody at Tamiya ever thought these cars would be going this fast! several people in the 90s and a couple in triple digits!! It is crazy what you can do now with them! A far cry from the old nicad days!

Great run buddy! Glad to see you were able to get a good run in for the challenge this year. My brother and I were wondering if you were going to get a good solid run in. Congrats on the all time PB!
I was beginning to wonder the same thing! It was starting to feel a bit cursed but in the end it did well and it is the fastest of any of my cars so that is cool and somewhat ironic! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car! A bit ratty from all the roll overs but still a cool car!

It ran much better this time. Still a tumble in there but it tracked much straighter and no odd left turns in there during the run. I was super happy to see the 74mph pop up and now it can retire and live its life on the shelf as a find memory and being the fastest in the collection!

I was very happy to it go over 70 and it is as fast as I want to go with it. For a split second I thought about ordering a new drag motor and trying to the 80s but then common sense snapped me out of it! LOL! It was fun seeing what it would do but it!
Pretty darn nice run. I like the paint job on your car, I’m glad you were able to keep it in one piece this time. That 3s battery looked like a mighty tight fit though. I don’t have a RUclips channel (I actively avoid getting my picture taken), but doing those speed runs looks like fun. I only have one on road car, I might get another, I haven’t decided yet. Since I am not competing in anything I can get whatever I want.
Thanks! I was completely stumped on the paint scheme and I reached out to Nathaneal at MCI and he thought up the idea and sent the decals over to make it work. I love it and it is going up on the shelf just as it is minus the motor and esc. Those will get reused for the next challenge! Speed runs are fun to see what you can get out of them but it is costly both in go-fast parts and replacement parts. There will always be replacement parts and things go wrong quickly going fast! especially when immoveable objects come into play! The TT02s are fun to try try and go fast. mostly it is is over gearing them a lot more than factory and parts are easy to get and cheap!
@@AddamsPlayground actually, a TT02 is exactly what I had in mind since upgrades and spare parts are so plentiful. I also don’t really have to worry about pushing it to its limits since I am not competing in anything. I will probably go back over yours and others videos on TT02s.
The car looked good and ran great. You should feel very good about your work and planning paid off with a great run. I have watched various other drivers do speed runs and blowing a tire off is not unusual.
It did a lot better this time out and I sure was happy and relieved to see that 74mph show up on the screen! I have seen some foam tires come part and a bunch of rubber tires blow off the wheel, I have not seen a foam tire separate like that yet but I have missed quite a few videos in the last month too!
Thanks Mark! It was cooking! With these runs it is roll into the throttle and try not to steer unless you have to!! I have a lot of expo in the steering so it take a pretty good turn of the wheel to make the wheels turn at all. Basically it is a lot of hoping for the best!
Thanks! It was scooting across the parking lot! It mad a very large lot feel a whole lot smaller for sure! I was so happy to see that 74mph pop up on the screen though. I beat my goal and that mean I could stop trying to go fast for a while LOL!!
@@AddamsPlayground watching all of these poorboyrc speed runs makes me want to attempt it next year, then I go put and drive an rc at like 30-35mph and I get humbled fast lol
@@BargainBashersRc It is all about fun and seeing what it can do. I am not racing anyone else in it and I know going in I am not going to be the fastest. I just do it to what I am able to squeeze out of them with the stuff I have on hand. I did buy a couple motors this year to go a bit faster but there were lots of folks running simple setups and just having fun with it. A few folks tapped out as they were done, either no more time and money to throw at it or going too fast and were not comfortable ricking their cars any longer. You should try it next year, it is good fun! Stressful once you go over 50mph usually but still fun!
@@AddamsPlayground I’m hoping to set aside some money for the kit, like you said it’s not only about going fast but also about having fun and enjoying the process
Awesome runs Addam! I think you can get more from it just by running it. It was awesome to see you getting in some good runs. What are your thoughts on the platform? It’s interesting to see how it’s grown on many speed runners after giving it some time and working through the bugs.
I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen and it was a huge relief. This year seem a bit cursed with the deleted footage, the devastating crash and then fighting the weather I was not sure it was going to happen. My goal was 70 and I exceeded that and it is the fastest I have been with any car so that is super cool. I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car! The wrecked one will get rebuilt and live its life as a sedate little beetle! Now the question is what platform is it going to be for next year? All of them have had their challenges so far and I am sure the next one will be no different!!
It was getting it across the parking lot! I just got the electronics stripped out of it and it will stay just like it is as my own personal best trophy with all its road rash glory! I have the other 90% rebuilt to put the beetle body on it. I need a rear hub and a screw pin to get it completed, need to find some in stock! Everyone has kind of cleared out the US stock of MF01 parts over the last month! LOL!
Yeah, I have seen the foam tires shred off the wheels but have not seen on roll off like this one before. It kept it from tumbling which is kind of ironic considering when the tire rolled freely it wanted to roll after every pass! LOL!
74 is a respectable speed fro a brushed set up congrats on that. I think you should try the Radiomaster MT12 with a 4 in 1 and a ELRS module so you can use your old recivers and the ELRS recivers flr suoer long range. I like flying drones and these are super long range and cheap and proven radio system for ground and air.
It is actually brushless but still a crazy fast speed considering stock it goes about 15mph! I do have a new radio here that will give me much longer runs but I just got it in so there was no time to get it all set up! This is the first time I had range issues really. It was a fun and trying speed run challenge but I beat my goal and I am relieved I don't have to rebuild it. Now the wrecked one I still have to piece back together and retire that with the Beetle body on it. This one will get the electronics yanked and retire just the way it is, wonky tire and banged up body! My personal speed run trophy!
@@AddamsPlayground thats still a great speed for brushless. When you reach highway speed or more with an RC car it's impressive. I run a Spektrum DX5 Rugged but I want to change to the Radiomaster as the functions are great and way cheaper than the expensive Spektrum recivers. Next year I will join the speed run challenge and until then I will practice on my suoer hopped up TT02 thanks to my Japan trip and the cheap mods. Enjoy your day, it's the end of mine here as it getting late here on this side of the world.
I would like to know how you felt on the first pass? 74 mph was a great pass. I hope next years run you get past 80 mph. Take care and best wishes to you and your family.
@@sparetimerc on the first pass I felt it was faster but not sure if it broke the 70 mark or not. I was super happy and relieved to see the 74 on the screen! Happy I beat my goal and relieved I could stop trying to go fast! 😂 It is fun but having two challenges back to back, it was a lot! It is a little ironic this little 4wd rally chassis is the fastest car I have! We will have to see what cool/evil plans Fil has in store for next year's chassis! Take care Al and have a great week!
It is a local commuter parking lot so they are mainly used Monday through Friday for people to park and van pool up north to the DC area for work during the week. We have multiple lots like this one here as many people travel for work daily and it is cheaper and more environmental to pile everyone in a van and drive up there instead of all those additional cars driving up the road. I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
@@NANNIRC We have trains here as well that many folks use but the commuter vans have been more popular over the years as many drop you off right at the office.
Have you seen those MX four forever only 100 made it come in a wood box and they were all handmade.They go for $2400 thought you should know in case you were interested in them .
Great runs Addam and congrats on your 74 PB. Luckily it does donuts instead getting up in the air again.

Thanks James, it did well and I was so happy and relieved seeing that 74mph pop up on the phone! Happy I beat the goal speed and also relieved I don't have to try and go fast for a while! LOL! It was fun but two back to back was a lot! I had to leave the lonnnnggggg walk of shame in there! it was the last one so i had to leave it in there. At least it had a had a good tune to go along with it! Take care and have a great week my friend!
@@AddamsPlayground
Great stuff Addam..... I could literally see the joy on your face when that first time came up!!
Totally agree about having the two different challenges over lapping....
we ended up only doing one as a result.
Time/finances were not on our side..... also the rockets for the car took 6 weeks to arrive from China!
We only received them last week, then I went down with covid! (again!)
But, I really enjoyed watching all you guys run...... still kinda gutted we never made it though.
Now I need to decide what to do with the m0f01x chassis we bought, a platform that's not really ever been on my radar!
Best wishes buddy. 😊
👍 👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC It never hurts to have one there for when inspiration strikes or you are just super bored and want to build something!
@@AddamsPlayground
It's already built mate..... we bought rc Doms one off him just for the competition! (chassis only)
In all honesty, it doesn't do a huge amount for me.
Although I have got a rather nice mk1 bubble arch escort body that Peter Smith kindly bought me that could potentially fit it..... perhaps turn it into a retro rally car? 🤔
Perhaps a project for the winter?
Or I may just sell it on to get some cash back to enable me to get the General Lee rebuilt, which is currently a total wreck!! 😅
👍 👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC You know me, I would add it to the hoard and spend too much money on bodies decals and paint LOL!!
Congrats on the PB ! What a run on a wet track too !
Thanks! It did well and the wet did not seem to bother it thankfully. I was a bit worried but it did well.
Well done my friend! That was great to watch it hooning super quick!!!💥💥💥
That was a great effort to get your target, well done Adam 🙂

Thanks! I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
Awsome...! I started building a Topforce today, such a nice car, going to run a TZ on 2 or 3s..fun!
Looking 4ward to yr next vid.
Cheers mate!
@@mattmclafferty6265 I have the Top Force to build as well. I am not sure what the next one will be. I am thinking maybe a 6x6 just build a fun one and not worry about speed or performance and just enjoy silly and bouncy for a bit!
Holy smoke, that was fast 😮 Well done, Addam, congrats 👏🤝
Thanks! I was so happy to see that 74mph pop up on the phone! I am also relieved I don't have to try and go fast for a while!! LOL!
Hi there Addam and Gina!👩🤠. A massive congratulations on your 74 mph mate, well done🏁🍻. Hopefully you can take out the prize for most spectacular crash and carnage😃. Thanks to Gina and yourself for going all out and for all your great speed run challenge video's mate, we saw some crazy unexpected spin outs and tumbles and Ingrid even got right into the crash investigation side of things when things went belly up, it was a bunch of fun seeing my girl smile, laugh and cringe at your action then she'd try to investigate and come up with reasons why your beast crashed, so proud of her getting right into the video's and having fun. We hope you both are well and enjoying life 👍👩😁🦘👧
Thanks guys! I am glad you both enjoyed it and Ingrid could play a bit of a sleuth trying to investigate the crash. Honestly I think the first one in this run was me getting on the brakes too hard. I realized the big parking lot gets a lot small at those speeds and the bottom of the lot was coming up a lot faster than I expected it to! I figured better to brake hard and tumble than see it flying into the tress! The second time was the tore rolling off the wheel, I think it was coming off mid run and that is why it started pulling left towards the van. I was counter steering a lot at the end and when I let off the throttle it just spun round and round. Thankfully nothing catastrophic and it does not have to be rebuilt. This one is going to live on the shelf just as it is (minus the go-fast electronics) as my own personal trophy of the event and the fastest I have gone so far. It is kind of ironic the dinky 4wd rally chassis is my fastest car! LOL!
I am glad you both enjoyed the runs and I am relieved it is over for now. I can get back to going slow and being happy about it! LOL! Take care guys and have a wonderful week!
Nice job, Addam! 74mph is darn impressive for that chassis and stock suspension
Thanks! I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
Addam your adjustment of the front toe out looked like it works! Super speed fast little bugger indeed!
It really did help at speed to keep it stable and not darting around. Super fast little guy indeed, I have no idea how the guys going 90+ are doing it and keeping them together!
Excellent run Addam, including some good tumbles too 😂😂 great that you passed 70 👍👍
Yeah I cannot seem to keep it from tumbling! It lands on its tires pretty much every time so that is nice! I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
SO close to that parked car! The gods of RC were with you. 😉
That was freaking fast! Awesome!
Not sure if you could hear it in the video but both of us were going "eeeeewwwwwwwww" as it flew past the front of the van!!! I guess claiming the other one to the post as sacrifice appeased the RC gods enough to not take this one too! I was so happy and relieved to see that 74mph pop up on the phone! Happy I exceeded my goal and relieved I can stop trying to go insanely fast now! LOL!!
@@AddamsPlayground Oh I head that exclamation! Going fast can be thrilling but the stakes for failure are so high...especially when launching a fully plastic car that performs an unscheduled disassembly while flipping arse over teakettle at 50 mph.
@@canuckchuck8836 They are surprisingly tough as long as they don't encounter immovable objects! It is nerve wracking but fun at the same time. It definitely gets the blood pumping!
Excellent run Addam nice speed 😁😎😎👍👍👍👍
Thanks! I was very happy to see the 74mph pop up on the screen and relieved too! Happy I hit the goal and relieved it lived through it and I could stop trying to go fast! LOL!
Fantastic final run! Well done and glad you didn’t try to leave another mark on a pole like earlier in the challenge. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes! This went a lot smoother than that previous one did LOL!!! I was very happy to see the 74 show up on the screen! Also relieved I could call it done and stop trying to go fast! LOL!
Wow a rocket there
I had to pause and look at that white El Camino down the parking lot 😁
Yeah the El Camino was there the last time we went up there, I am guess they work on the weekends and travel with someone else to work, I am sure it is terrible on gas mileage! LOL! I was super happy to see the 74mph show up on the phone as I exceeded my goal and I can quit trying to go fast for a while! LOL! I wonder what it is going to be next year?
Nice! Drove the tires off. Love it!
I think it was its way of telling me it has had enough of this stuff and to turn around and head home LOL!!! It has been fun and I was really happy to see that 74mph show up on the phone screen!!
@@AddamsPlayground I know that's right. 74 is truly awesome! I am sure I will get there one day. 🙂
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! It was so nice to see that 74 mph pop up on the screen! It did well and I think it may have had a little more in the tank but we'll never know. It is now gutted of the go-fast stuff and will just a be a personal trophy with its slightly beat up body!
@@AddamsPlayground I got speeds like that outta my Tamiya fox back in the day with a nuclear assault motor ...it's good to send it 😂 hard
Hey Addam, a wonderful achievement my friend, 74mph is awesome! When you consider what we do, we run a plastic / metal toy, at huge speeds, containing essentially a potentially explosive power source, without a licence or indemnity…food for thought 🤔🧐🤔anyway my friend, absolutely amazing, you should be very pleased with that result, so glad you didn’t get the horrible weather. Best wishes to you and the family 😎😉😎
Thanks John! It was flying out there and you are right, flying these things around is a bit dangerous. Staying away from people is a must. We were a bit on edge as that last run got pretty close to the van down there but thankfully it was just my car that took any damage out there! I was so very happy when that 74mph showed up on the screen! Happy and relieved as I am kind of done trying to go fast this year! It was fun but a lot of work and stressing if and when I was going to be able to go out for another run! It all worked out and I am very satisfied with my results! Take care my friend and have a wonderful week!
Congratulations Addam, that was well worth waiting for and just goes to show you don’t necessarily need perfect geometry etc (though it does help) to go fast.
Thanks Tony, it was very nice to see the 74 pop up on the screen! I was happy and relieved! Happy I hit the goal and relieved it lived through it and I could stop trying to go fast! LOL! Well after one more run! It was a funny end to it when the one more run ended in the blown tire and told me to go home, it was done!
Congrats on your new PB to think when I was a kid and I saw my first Tamiya car I thought they where crazy fast look how far the hobby has come
Thanks! I was very happy to see the 74mph pop up on the screen!!! I am sure nobody at Tamiya ever thought these cars would be going this fast! several people in the 90s and a couple in triple digits!! It is crazy what you can do now with them! A far cry from the old nicad days!
WoooHooo Awesome run!

Great run buddy! Glad to see you were able to get a good run in for the challenge this year. My brother and I were wondering if you were going to get a good solid run in. Congrats on the all time PB!
I was beginning to wonder the same thing! It was starting to feel a bit cursed but in the end it did well and it is the fastest of any of my cars so that is cool and somewhat ironic! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car! A bit ratty from all the roll overs but still a cool car!
Nice Job! 74 is a good year and a respectable speed!

Great run!!! Sounded good too.
It ran much better this time. Still a tumble in there but it tracked much straighter and no odd left turns in there during the run. I was super happy to see the 74mph pop up and now it can retire and live its life on the shelf as a find memory and being the fastest in the collection!
great runs buddy

That’s insane 🤣. So fast!
I was very happy to it go over 70 and it is as fast as I want to go with it. For a split second I thought about ordering a new drag motor and trying to the 80s but then common sense snapped me out of it! LOL! It was fun seeing what it would do but it!
Pretty darn nice run. I like the paint job on your car, I’m glad you were able to keep it in one piece this time. That 3s battery looked like a mighty tight fit though. I don’t have a RUclips channel (I actively avoid getting my picture taken), but doing those speed runs looks like fun. I only have one on road car, I might get another, I haven’t decided yet. Since I am not competing in anything I can get whatever I want.
Thanks! I was completely stumped on the paint scheme and I reached out to Nathaneal at MCI and he thought up the idea and sent the decals over to make it work. I love it and it is going up on the shelf just as it is minus the motor and esc. Those will get reused for the next challenge! Speed runs are fun to see what you can get out of them but it is costly both in go-fast parts and replacement parts. There will always be replacement parts and things go wrong quickly going fast! especially when immoveable objects come into play! The TT02s are fun to try try and go fast. mostly it is is over gearing them a lot more than factory and parts are easy to get and cheap!
@@AddamsPlayground actually, a TT02 is exactly what I had in mind since upgrades and spare parts are so plentiful. I also don’t really have to worry about pushing it to its limits since I am not competing in anything. I will probably go back over yours and others videos on TT02s.
The car looked good and ran great. You should feel very good about your work and planning paid off with a great run. I have watched various other drivers do speed runs and blowing a tire off is not unusual.
It did a lot better this time out and I sure was happy and relieved to see that 74mph show up on the screen! I have seen some foam tires come part and a bunch of rubber tires blow off the wheel, I have not seen a foam tire separate like that yet but I have missed quite a few videos in the last month too!
Great run Addam that was looking sooo fast 👌 don't know how you control it at that speed 😊
Thanks Mark! It was cooking! With these runs it is roll into the throttle and try not to steer unless you have to!! I have a lot of expo in the steering so it take a pretty good turn of the wheel to make the wheels turn at all. Basically it is a lot of hoping for the best!
Nice run Addam!! That’s very fast
Thanks! It was scooting across the parking lot! It mad a very large lot feel a whole lot smaller for sure! I was so happy to see that 74mph pop up on the screen though. I beat my goal and that mean I could stop trying to go fast for a while LOL!!
@@AddamsPlayground watching all of these poorboyrc speed runs makes me want to attempt it next year, then I go put and drive an rc at like 30-35mph and I get humbled fast lol
@@BargainBashersRc It is all about fun and seeing what it can do. I am not racing anyone else in it and I know going in I am not going to be the fastest. I just do it to what I am able to squeeze out of them with the stuff I have on hand. I did buy a couple motors this year to go a bit faster but there were lots of folks running simple setups and just having fun with it. A few folks tapped out as they were done, either no more time and money to throw at it or going too fast and were not comfortable ricking their cars any longer. You should try it next year, it is good fun! Stressful once you go over 50mph usually but still fun!
@@AddamsPlayground I’m hoping to set aside some money for the kit, like you said it’s not only about going fast but also about having fun and enjoying the process
@@BargainBashersRc Fil usually sticks with the budget friendly kits for these to make it easier for folks to join in.
Awesome runs Addam! I think you can get more from it just by running it. It was awesome to see you getting in some good runs.
What are your thoughts on the platform? It’s interesting to see how it’s grown on many speed runners after giving it some time and working through the bugs.
I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen and it was a huge relief. This year seem a bit cursed with the deleted footage, the devastating crash and then fighting the weather I was not sure it was going to happen. My goal was 70 and I exceeded that and it is the fastest I have been with any car so that is super cool. I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car! The wrecked one will get rebuilt and live its life as a sedate little beetle! Now the question is what platform is it going to be for next year? All of them have had their challenges so far and I am sure the next one will be no different!!
74 is awesome, especially for a mostly stock car..
It was getting it across the parking lot! I just got the electronics stripped out of it and it will stay just like it is as my own personal best trophy with all its road rash glory! I have the other 90% rebuilt to put the beetle body on it. I need a rear hub and a screw pin to get it completed, need to find some in stock! Everyone has kind of cleared out the US stock of MF01 parts over the last month! LOL!
It's a jet. You literally blew the tires off it. Nice run.
Yeah, I have seen the foam tires shred off the wheels but have not seen on roll off like this one before. It kept it from tumbling which is kind of ironic considering when the tire rolled freely it wanted to roll after every pass! LOL!
74 is a respectable speed fro a brushed set up congrats on that. I think you should try the Radiomaster MT12 with a 4 in 1 and a ELRS module so you can use your old recivers and the ELRS recivers flr suoer long range. I like flying drones and these are super long range and cheap and proven radio system for ground and air.
It is actually brushless but still a crazy fast speed considering stock it goes about 15mph! I do have a new radio here that will give me much longer runs but I just got it in so there was no time to get it all set up! This is the first time I had range issues really. It was a fun and trying speed run challenge but I beat my goal and I am relieved I don't have to rebuild it. Now the wrecked one I still have to piece back together and retire that with the Beetle body on it. This one will get the electronics yanked and retire just the way it is, wonky tire and banged up body! My personal speed run trophy!
@@AddamsPlayground thats still a great speed for brushless. When you reach highway speed or more with an RC car it's impressive. I run a Spektrum DX5 Rugged but I want to change to the Radiomaster as the functions are great and way cheaper than the expensive Spektrum recivers. Next year I will join the speed run challenge and until then I will practice on my suoer hopped up TT02 thanks to my Japan trip and the cheap mods. Enjoy your day, it's the end of mine here as it getting late here on this side of the world.
I would like to know how you felt on the first pass? 74 mph was a great pass. I hope next years run you get past 80 mph. Take care and best wishes to you and your family.
@@sparetimerc on the first pass I felt it was faster but not sure if it broke the 70 mark or not. I was super happy and relieved to see the 74 on the screen! Happy I beat my goal and relieved I could stop trying to go fast! 😂
It is fun but having two challenges back to back, it was a lot! It is a little ironic this little 4wd rally chassis is the fastest car I have! We will have to see what cool/evil plans Fil has in store for next year's chassis! Take care Al and have a great week!
How did you find a so empty park? Very early? 74, scale 1/10 it means 740... wow!! ciao
It is a local commuter parking lot so they are mainly used Monday through Friday for people to park and van pool up north to the DC area for work during the week. We have multiple lots like this one here as many people travel for work daily and it is cheaper and more environmental to pile everyone in a van and drive up there instead of all those additional cars driving up the road. I was very happy to see that 74 pop up on the screen. It was a rough go with this one but I did have fun and to pass my goal was rewarding! I am going to strip the electronics out of it and retire it just the way it is, my own PB trophy car!
@@AddamsPlayground Interesting way to keep cars stopped and 74 is a good number, agree
@@NANNIRC We have trains here as well that many folks use but the commuter vans have been more popular over the years as many drop you off right at the office.
It tumbled and then landed on its tires.That was interesting after such a speed.
It does well landing back on the tires!
Have you seen those MX four forever only 100 made it come in a wood box and they were all handmade.They go for $2400 thought you should know in case you were interested in them .
I have seen them but that is too much money for me to get one. Very cool kits but I had to pass on getting one!
