    I am still surprised on how agile these are!! They look like that should just roll over at any time but it seems to take a lot to make it go into nap mode. I do have to apologize to the Chief Engineer as I did get a laugh at the "oh, my beautiful paint job!" at the end! It turned out looking get and running like a champ! Another wonderful video guys!

    That looks great and the rear steering helped with the maneuvering. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Very fitting to include some three wheel balancing and a couple stunt roll overs. I really need to add one of these to the fleet. All smiles here. Great job gents. 😊

    Hi there gentlemen, the Konghead looks amazing and definitely worthy of the Stuntman Association livery. I used that copper colour on my MF-01X Beetle and that is really a nice colour, working well with the livery and the chrome. The BZ pushes the model well too, looks like the steering took some getting used to, with the rear wheels giving you that extra turning radius (perhaps turn down the rear steering a bit, if you have the radio mixing facility). great job guys, a blast from my blast too, six million dollar man, I kind of feel a bit like that at the moment, as I've just had my 3rd total hip replacement ( a revision left hip) so recovering at the moment. Take care, and best wishes to you and the families 😊😉

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Год назад +1

      The copper looks great in the sun. I know the Chief Engineer uses goole rc stuff, so I’m not sure. I use Sanwa and in honesty it’s baffling all the stuff it can do. I wonder if the CIA will recruit you soon 🤔😂👍

    Oh yeah I love the Konghead and I think it's one of the best modern Tamiya's. Nothing else like it on the market really. It does tip over reasonably easily but it means you need to be a bit skilful with the controls. Fantastic job on the Fall Guy body. Great to see Farah Fawcett, my childhood crush. Nice work guys 🙂

    It's a lot faster than I thought, with all the weight...looks like a lot of fun to drive. What color is that Chief Engineer? Is that a Tamiya color? I loved all those shows back then...plus CHIPs, the A-Team...the good old days (you know, what old people say) 😂

    • @RCsoandso

    Do you just plug the second servo in with a splitter and it works like that?
    Just finished building my Konghead. I've put a Traxxas Velineon ESC with it's matching brushless motor, two servos, and of course, all 40 ball bearings. Trying to decide if i should rob a receiver from another truck, or wait until tomorrow and get a radio/receiver to test this 4wS.

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  10 месяцев назад +1

      It was just a splitter cable, you could always use a radio on hand and then get another, I use one radio for them all where the chief Engineer uses a fe different handsets if that helps 👍

    • @Hillbillypunk
      @Hillbillypunk 10 месяцев назад

      @@RCsoandso I tried a Spectrum SLT3, my normal go-to radio for impulse buys. I think I have 3 of them now.
      Traxxas ESC didn't like that one. When I powered it on, I had steering but no throttle and it was blinking green at me. Narrowed it to an issue with the throttle trim. The ESC was under the impression it was being given throttle upon start up, and it did what it was supposed to do, which was nothing, so to prevent a runaway.
      Couldn't get that sorted, so I stole the radio from my RC10 T4.2, and wa-la.
      4wS works awesome!

    • @RCsoandso

      Good question, we did think about this, the Lunchbox shell is shorter, so you would have to extend it and think about wheel arches and so on, but it would look cool in a Rat Rod sort of way 🤔👍

      ⁠@@he214abcsorry my fault I relayed the wrong information I’d just woke up from a night shift I had the Aqroshot in my head for some reason, yes the kit only comes with friction dampers. Oil shocks should be in the kit as standard as the price of the 6x6 kit is quite high compared to others, the Kong and yellow bus are great builds and are so much fun to drive but they could do with a couple of upgrades
