I appreciate how you keep it real, and show us the good, the bad, and the ugly!! 👍👊 💪You're not afraid or ashamed to share when you crash and break your cars! Respect!!
Belted tires are going to be needed by the looks of it. Also, I'd run the cage without the body as that body will catch alot of air at higher speeds. As for diffs, I'd say heavier fluid, but I'm really uncertain on that.
I would start with 1 million oil in the front and rear diffs, if it has a center diff I would go 2+ million oil for the center. You could also stuff some silicon ear plugs in each diff, one or 2 depending on size, and that would give a "soft locker" type of action and no oil required. I would also look for some belted tires, will greatly help with control at speed.
In my Losi SBR 2.0 set up for speed on hard surfaces I run 2 million CST oil in centre and 500K CST oil in front & rear. I would adjust your rear shock lower mounting point to the last hole closest to the rear diff as this will lower the ride height/centre of gravity. I also changed shock oils to a thicker oil for more dampening. To reduce the ballooning on my own SBR 2.0 I removed the tyres, turned them inside out and then wrapped them with thick duct tape so. You then turn the tyres back the right way and reattach to the beadlocks and it should act more like a belted tyre that way.
Asphalt speed RC car WR, a very ambitious goal: does everything, preps wheels, diff, suspension to insane precision, ads carbon or titanium parts, precision made carbon wings, perfect pass and giro for absolute stability and torque control Off-road speed RC car WR, an actual and surprisingly, possibly a fairly easy to attain goal for him: no wheel prep, no diff prep, no reinforced parts, no special wings or body prep or even a body, no perfect pass, no gyro... Classic :D
I’ll 3rd that and I don’t know the truck that well. Can the diffs be filled with fluid? If so try 100k-500k diff fluid in the rear and I would put 1 million CST diff fluid in the front.
nice to see you on the camera more Raz and appreciate the comedy and keeping it lighthearted even though you had a bad wreck! try some belted tires! may be better at high speed! and maybe silicon plugs in center and rear diff is what i would suggest! looking forward to your next video!
This is an awesome build dude! I never comment on any media but this truck is awesome, belted tires and heaved diff oil, and a off road speed run as well as an on road speed run would be cool. Look forward to more from this build.
Hi Raz, contrary to popular belief I found that a locked up solid rear diff made my sc trucks more unstable at high speeds on gravel and damp sand. Sure, agree with other folks on belted tyres. Good luck man, would like to see what you setup and how it will survive the tests. Its going to be a great project to follow.
Razz… You are an innovator in this Hobby… A true inspiration to RC car hobbyist like myself… i’m looking forward to your come back… and I hit the bell notification so we can keep your numbers going up…💪🏾👏🏾✊🏾👍🏾❤️🙏🏾✌🏾😃… and I believe if I may if you tighten up the suspension it’ll help you stay straighter… in my experience converting an off-road car to an on road vehicle suspension is key…
The FPV Piolt in me heard you say last run I was like NOOOO never say that its always when you crash lol. Good stuff Raz and if I were you I think 1mill in the diffs for sure and if possible lock the center.
Honestly there are a few things you could do t stabilize it. Without a doubt start with different tires. You could still technically run offroad tires and possibly gain 5-10 mph. Kudos on testing on a crazy road though. Good content 👌
Hi Raz. I fitted top-tuning 24mm wheel hex's and 5th scale wheel and tyre combo (80mm wide) as the stock wheel setup is not great even on 6S the balooning and grip is terrible, this has tamed the beast quite a lot even on grass. I would lock the rear and centre diff and leave the front to start with. I cant wait to see the next run, great project 😎👍
DAAAMN that was brutal. 😆 To be fare it wasn't made to go 80 - 100mph to see it hit 81mph was pretty dang cool. 🔥 Definitely needs belted tires or something a lot stiffer. Can't wait to see what comes next bro. 🔥👍✌️
I'd start by thickening that shock fluid and maybe some hefty shock limiters . That shock travel is allowing it to float all over and in turn allowing the flex so that tire lifted right off the road and it was loss of traction from there. I would thicken the fluid too. Idk what is stock in that but at least throw some 50k in it. I wouldn't lock it if your gonna keep driving it on road tho. Because you not going to 100% eliminate that flex of the car so you want the diffs to be diffs lol. Awesome idea. I can't wait to see what's next
I subscribed to your channel only recently but I'm glad I did it. Watching your videos for a while and I really do appreciate the effort you give to the rc world 🌎 😊. Especially the speed runs. Best wishes to get the world record. Hope Kevin is not reading
Most important factor for me is belted tyres, it will help reduce the amount it walks around the road and with any luck it will stop you articulating so much and causing one wheel to spool up.
1-2 million weight oil in the diffs. Perhaps also for on road testing use 1/8 buggy foam tires to prevent it from "wandering" as you try to keep it in a straight line.
I Raz I guess the most stable to do an offroad speed run with is the mojave V1 or V2. It's lighter than the SBR but also heavier and more stable than the typhon and kraton offroad. Can't wait to see you make one!
Definitely diffing out, up the weight of diff oil or lock it with some ear plugs or putty. I'd also up the damper oil to help with weight transfer under power
What others have said. Thick oil or earplugs. Belted tires will help a ton. Better control, no chance of a catastrophic tire failure and you won't lose power to tire deformation.
Loved the vid :) Surprised the tires didn't blow out. :) As speed increases the contact gets smaller. You could say exactly opposite to your "normal" car where down-force created by the aerodynamics increases the contact area (however slightly). I think once you have the imbalance created by tires increasing any "slight" change is going to have an amplifying effect. Good luck with this build. I am going to enjoy watching you conquer this mountain. Keep up the great work. :)
your videos are so so cool Raz , i love every second and the way you put them together is nothing more than an art form , 10/10 Man , Lets hope you can send this bad boy to the moon @ 100+ MPH that would be awesome , i was thinking of getting me one of these but leaving it stock as 60 MpH for now is plenty lol cheers Raz and Thankz
I did this when I was a kid. Went to the hobby shop and told the guys I wanted to go 100mph with am ecx amp MT. I got to around 80mph. My tires were always the limiting factor and that what I think is holding you back. Those tires will balloon and you'll lose control. Either need to get different tires that wont balloon like that are maybe some fishing line around them? Imo those tires gotta go to go faster. Its not about diff fluid. You got the tire speed for 100mph plus but the tires are ballooning before you get there.
I locked the rear diff on mine, it drives much straighter on dirt and faster thru bumps, I recommend a rear cage stiffener due to it shaking a lot, but I dont do speed runs, Im a scale fanatic, and desert performance is my fav
Raz, not sure if it was the angle of the camera. But it looked like your back right side tire was cambered in a little bit. Like to see this rc vehicle reach the 100 mph , that's would be epic.
For the diff you just need to put some crazy heavy dif oil inside wich will basically lock them up. Use ear plugs and it will lock it up and make it much easier to drive
Bloody hell Raz, fun to watch at least. I think you need to start with the wheels, after a certain point you are driving on saw blades again. Ummm, for what this car is supposed to do, I think you really need to test off-road and set up for that. Great vid, look forward to the next part.
I recommend stronger springs, and thicker fluid in the diffs. After upgrading my Mojave with a Max 6, 1750 kv combo, I had a MAJOR problem trying to drive it straight for top speed runs. It looked almost exactly like your truck did when I would try to go full throttle. After upgrading to stiffer springs, front and rear, it made the truck MUCH more manageable and will actually track straight now and/or not fight nearly as much against steering input. You know enough about the other issues with the tires/etc that I won't comment about those.
I would stiffen the shocks up, to start. A lot. That will help eliminate a lot of that body roll, which is contributing to, if not causing it to "diff out" like that. If it has 40wt in it, bump it up to 80wt. As far as rear diff weight,I would at leastb match the front. You've already got super thick fluid in the front and center, right?
Great content as always brother! Took my Limitless GT out for the first time this year, today....had my Perfect Pass turned down all the way, pulled the trigger a bit hard and now it's a 3 wheel drive! Rear right wheel has no power, which is scary considering I have the Scorched RC locked rear :) Time to tear it down I guess! Take care Raz!
1ST Issue first Raz, belted tyres, you're getting way too much ballooning under load, it ruins any chance of a repeatable run and always leads to cars floating away into oblivion, Rip HobbyWing XeRun Revo combo (That thing never let any tyres last more than 30 seconds and it was before belted ones were really available)
The diff fluid is fine with a set of street tires. Those stock tires are very soft. If you intend on running the offroad tires. 500k front, 2 mill center, and 1 mill in the rear.
To my knowledge the rear diff is already locked but you need to hit up Vitavon for their gear set for the car, the rear links, basicly the Vitavon kit. Plus HR and GPM make other parts like aluminum mounts to mount the links and such too. And if nothing else BEFORE you run, get the rear body brace. There are several on eBay, but Schorched makes one. Also, HR has a hardened steel drive shaft
Raz you should invent a circuit breaker that’s G force triggered. So in a crash it pops and saves your ESC. Maybe it could sit right off the battery or something.
the rear diff is not a problem in my opinion, but you really need belted tires in order to keep it controllable and you certainly need to have a very big anti-roll bar to keep the torque twist away...
If its spinning the wheels, get larger diameter banded tyers fitted, then you'll get less spin and a better top speed, basically its a gear change to help get your goal
Idk, I only have a year or two exp...But if you can access the length needed for the run? Why not add more weight? (in the rear, and maybe even all around as long as you have the space. You already know you have the power? Since you already know you get 81-mph, I think upgraded servo and better running gear plus weight might do the trick🙃
Not gonna lie that was awesome glad it didnt catch fire tho. I lost a xlx2 to a fire like 3 months ago after it being a week old smh. It got replaced thankfully.
I recommend soft locking the diffs with silicone ear plugs like Kevin Talbot uses for his bashers instead of throwing heavier grease or oil that thins out with temp increase . I also recommend heavier shock oil, lowering the rig, belted tires ( you can also take some light weight plastic meshing with some shoe glue and make your own belted tires) and run the cage without the body so you don't take flight.
You could try to stop the tires blowing up by strapping them. use some strong fishing braid that has zero stretch. More tread on the ground should make it more stable.
Must admit they were pretty scary runs, great job controlling them, start with 1 million diff fluid, get another diff and lock it so it can be tested on the same day, great work my friend, keep it up, 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
There is an easy way to take apart the SBR, 10 screws a d the whole cage comes off with the body. 4 on the chassis, 2 at the top of the rear bulkhead, 2 up front behind the bumper, and 2 at the rear brace that supports the whole floating rear of the body. It is easiest to drill 2 holes in the body to get to these.
20 mill in center and rear and 1 million to start in front. I’m doing that speed off-road with that truck. Change the springs and mounting points in the rear and tires!!
Hey Raz , I just finally got hold of the new v2 carbon driveshafts . They sending to Australia. I want to be the fastest speed runner here down under with some help from you and all your great tips and trips! I mean tricks. Thanks man! 🤙🏻😜
Rear diff you have to let it loose a bit, less than front otherwise would be less stable. Stiffer the suspension. Lower them like GT cars. Tire hmmm better to swap them with belt tire
I'd run the body for better aero for sure. Not a sealed body so I doubt it will catch too much air. And id definitely thickn up all three diffs. With the power u have. Also id lower it
Try adding a lateral stiffener tying the the back to the chassis to the front on both side of the vehicle somehow so it keeps the car from breaking in half like that
I run ear plugs in the rear so it tracks straight your tyres will need to be changed mx43s seem to work well but I have some taylor rc foamless to try. 80mph on road is more like high 60s off road
Everything You Need Is Here..

Agreed.
What he said. Lol
Boom!
lock it up
they say center is 20 million I'd start with 500k in rear and 200 in front or 1 million rear 500k in front just my opinion but starting point
In my Losi SBR 2.0 set up for speed on hard surfaces I run 2 million CST oil in centre and 500K CST oil in front & rear. I would adjust your rear shock lower mounting point to the last hole closest to the rear diff as this will lower the ride height/centre of gravity.

Are you firm on using those tires? I think you will hit 100 easy on belted wheels
I was thinking that, too. 🤔
I’ll 3rd that and I don’t know the truck that well. Can the diffs be filled with fluid? If so try 100k-500k diff fluid in the rear and I would put 1 million CST diff fluid in the front.
Speedruns and traffic. Story of my life! Good runs, 💯mph will be no problem for you my man!!
nice to see you on the camera more Raz and appreciate the comedy and keeping it lighthearted even though you had a bad wreck! try some belted tires! may be better at high speed! and maybe silicon plugs in center and rear diff is what i would suggest! looking forward to your next video!
It's always that one last run 😂 that looked so scetchy with how much those tyres were ballooning.
Congrats on 80k+ subs 👏👏👏
Another entertaining video, fingers crossed you get it sorted next time your out 💪
This is an awesome build dude! I never comment on any media but this truck is awesome, belted tires and heaved diff oil, and a off road speed run as well as an on road speed run would be cool. Look forward to more from this build.
Sitting here sipping coffee and I came across your channel! Love the work man!
Wow, you will need some belted tires for that beast. 👍 The belted Katar tires from the Talion EXB should do the trick. 🤗
Oh wow what a crazy video as always keep it up Raz hopefully we can see you soon
Hey Raz,
Great channel mate love the content you are a master of speed for sure , you should run this on grass for the fastest off road speed rc 👍👍👍
Hi Raz, contrary to popular belief I found that a locked up solid rear diff made my sc trucks more unstable at high speeds on gravel and damp sand. Sure, agree with other folks on belted tyres. Good luck man, would like to see what you setup and how it will survive the tests. Its going to be a great project to follow.
Some suspension tuning, proper diff weights, belted tyres, and just the cage, and I reckon you've got it.

Any mods need to fit them or do they bolt right on?
@@rcplayday7937 no mods needed, they are made for direct fitment to replace the 20mm hex's
@@G7GTI what tires are you running if I may ask, I'm think the mad Max's giant grip may be a good choice

Foam tires will settle it all the way down. Love the videos
Ya the walk of shame down the side of the road with what's left of your precious rc car is never any fun😢
I did this when I was a kid. Went to the hobby shop and told the guys I wanted to go 100mph with am ecx amp MT. I got to around 80mph.

You got the tire speed for 100mph plus but the tires are ballooning before you get there.
Before you break it again, I want to see some fast action in the dirt, hill climbs, jumps and high speed runs!
I'd also add in some thicker damper oil too, but, good effort mate,
I locked the rear diff on mine, it drives much straighter on dirt and faster thru bumps, I recommend a rear cage stiffener due to it shaking a lot, but I dont do speed runs, Im a scale fanatic, and desert performance is my fav
Some strong wire around the tires (its cheap you know🤷🏻♂️) seen it help against blowing the tire up.
Raz, not sure if it was the angle of the camera. But it looked like your back right side tire was cambered in a little bit. Like to see this rc vehicle reach the 100 mph , that's would be epic.
Get a locker and run a heavy center diff fluid and at least 7k or above diff fluid in the shocks with the front preload at zero🤘good luck my friend
For the diff you just need to put some crazy heavy dif oil inside wich will basically lock them up. Use ear plugs and it will lock it up and make it much easier to drive
Maybe some tires that don't balloon as much.. nice runs though!
Quality content right here. Keep it up!
Maybe tie a wire around the tires properly and balanced, so too keep them from ballooning uncontrollably.
Bloody hell Raz, fun to watch at least. I think you need to start with the wheels, after a certain point you are driving on saw blades again.
Ummm, for what this car is supposed to do, I think you really need to test off-road and set up for that. Great vid, look forward to the next part.

I was excited for this one damn I hope ya hit at least 105
I would stiffen the shocks up, to start. A lot. That will help eliminate a lot of that body roll, which is contributing to, if not causing it to "diff out" like that. If it has 40wt in it, bump it up to 80wt. As far as rear diff weight,I would at leastb match the front. You've already got super thick fluid in the front and center, right?
You need to get the tires belted, you can do this with strong fishing wire if you want to keep the same tires.
Silicone swimming ear plugs in the diffs works really good and it won’t leak out
Great content as always brother! Took my Limitless GT out for the first time this year, today....had my Perfect Pass turned down all the way, pulled the trigger a bit hard and now it's a 3 wheel drive! Rear right wheel has no power, which is scary considering I have the Scorched RC locked rear :) Time to tear it down I guess! Take care Raz!
Lmao your hyper-speed build edit was great. All those body screws 😵💫😵💫🤮
1ST Issue first Raz, belted tyres, you're getting way too much ballooning under load, it ruins any chance of a repeatable run and always leads to cars floating away into oblivion, Rip HobbyWing XeRun Revo combo (That thing never let any tyres last more than 30 seconds and it was before belted ones were really available)
The diff fluid is fine with a set of street tires. Those stock tires are very soft. If you intend on running the offroad tires. 500k front, 2 mill center, and 1 mill in the rear.
I think the weight of the body and the spare tires especially would have helped a lot with stability. I love that you're trying this, keep going!
Love the build but 100mph offroad vehicle shouldn't it be offroad not on paved roads
You'll get her done. Still love it. Always entertaining :)
To my knowledge the rear diff is already locked but you need to hit up Vitavon for their gear set for the car, the rear links, basicly the Vitavon kit. Plus HR and GPM make other parts like aluminum mounts to mount the links and such too. And if nothing else BEFORE you run, get the rear body brace. There are several on eBay, but Schorched makes one. Also, HR has a hardened steel drive shaft
Raz you should invent a circuit breaker that’s G force triggered. So in a crash it pops and saves your ESC. Maybe it could sit right off the battery or something.
that tp motor is a total beast
Last and final comment steady pull trigger. Longer runway, drive behind it, better tires, non expanding rubber tires solid tires. Just a few idea's.
the rear diff is not a problem in my opinion, but you really need belted tires in order to keep it controllable and you certainly need to have a very big anti-roll bar to keep the torque twist away...
You need to adjust the rear shocks all the way back that will GREATLY I'mprove handling
Belted tyres are a must but I wouldn't lock rear diff solid as your just wheelie. I'd go heavier than it is tho
If its spinning the wheels, get larger diameter banded tyers fitted, then you'll get less spin and a better top speed, basically its a gear change to help get your goal
Idk, I only have a year or two exp...But if you can access the length needed for the run? Why not add more weight? (in the rear, and maybe even all around as long as you have the space. You already know you have the power? Since you already know you get 81-mph, I think upgraded servo and better running gear plus weight might do the trick🙃
lock both diffs and lower it, also get better tyres that wont balloon
change the rear axle to independet suspension, only fix that is approved;)
But on the good side,they didn't use leaf springs:D
Not gonna lie that was awesome glad it didnt catch fire tho. I lost a xlx2 to a fire like 3 months ago after it being a week old smh. It got replaced thankfully.
It's has lots of power , bad crash but can't wait for the rebuild
I think you should put some 1/5th scale on road tires, the main problem is traction
I recommend soft locking the diffs with silicone ear plugs like Kevin Talbot uses for his bashers instead of throwing heavier grease or oil that thins out with temp increase . I also recommend heavier shock oil, lowering the rig, belted tires ( you can also take some light weight plastic meshing with some shoe glue and make your own belted tires) and run the cage without the body so you don't take flight.
I agree 100 %
You could try to stop the tires blowing up by strapping them. use some strong fishing braid that has zero stretch. More tread on the ground should make it more stable.
Must admit they were pretty scary runs, great job controlling them, start with 1 million diff fluid, get another diff and lock it so it can be tested on the same day, great work my friend, keep it up, 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Raz must workout. Great slow mo
There is an easy way to take apart the SBR, 10 screws a d the whole cage comes off with the body. 4 on the chassis, 2 at the top of the rear bulkhead, 2 up front behind the bumper, and 2 at the rear brace that supports the whole floating rear of the body. It is easiest to drill 2 holes in the body to get to these.
I would add axle straps to keep it centered first 😳
20 mill in center and rear and 1 million to start in front. I’m doing that speed off-road with that truck. Change the springs and mounting points in the rear and tires!!
Hey Raz , I just finally got hold of the new v2 carbon driveshafts . They sending to Australia. I want to be the fastest speed runner here down under with some help from you and all your great tips and trips! I mean tricks. Thanks man! 🤙🏻😜
Awesome Lucas! Enjoy them buddy!
Cheers, they do look sweet. Can’t wait. Thanks again Raz.
My go to diff setup would be 2 million in the center diff, 1 million up front and 500k in the rear. I guess there's no toe in on that rear axle??
Rear diff you have to let it loose a bit, less than front otherwise would be less stable. Stiffer the suspension. Lower them like GT cars. Tire hmmm better to swap them with belt tire
Dang man! Sorry you crashed it!
I think you should shorter and stiffer suspensions for more stability. And you can use ropes for extending wheels.
You could check out Louise wheels.. they have MFT which stops balooning. I had some pretty good results with them
At 4:30 I'm thinking to myself "he needs foam tires" then boom
I'd run the body for better aero for sure. Not a sealed body so I doubt it will catch too much air. And id definitely thickn up all three diffs. With the power u have. Also id lower it
Try adding a lateral stiffener tying the the back to the chassis to the front on both side of the vehicle somehow so it keeps the car from breaking in half like that
Add aluminum upgrades don’t worry about the way you have enough horsepower
I run ear plugs in the rear so it tracks straight your tyres will need to be changed mx43s seem to work well but I have some taylor rc foamless to try. 80mph on road is more like high 60s off road
Nice build👍wait I mean crash 😂👊
