He he, both you two! I appreciate I can trust you'll be watching my videos early on, ha ha! As Fil would say, a small competition inside the competition...
That was the best SRC finale video I've seen to date, Mads. The excitement in your voice when that 100+ km/h popped up was so awesome! I'm glad you had fun, dude. It's always so great having you in these speed run challenges. Hope to see you back again next year!
Ha ha, thanks Fil! You know I try to deliver, especially on entertainment factor... I was never expecting to go this fast, I almost doubled my initial target, and I have to admit your strict rules that forced me into "Open Class", I owe them the success... The ability to switch from brushed to brushless is truly a blessing, I know I will go for "Open" next year also. You can definitely count on me for SRC, even when you choose a crappy chassis like this, I needed to reverse it to make it half decent, ha ha!
That was a wild ride, Mads! You did so well especially from where you started and with such a radical design, mate! That is an amazing speed to get out of a little Tamiya so well done my friend! I think you did everything within ze rules, as you are in open class I don't think it matters what type of motor you used. Thanks for being here in the competition and entertaining us so well! :D
Wild ride is what it's all about, Mark! Many thanks for the nice comment as always, my friend! Yeah, Fil replied to my email, so I am also guessing the run is approved... I'm amazed where this year's speedrun took me... I wasn't going to put much into it, but suddenly I commented on an OAG video I might run it backwards, and then I did that and extended the wheelbase and suddenly had to enter "Open Class"... Then the weirdest thing happened, the car drove great and suddenly I almost doubled my initial speed goal for this year... All that and when I think back on it, my MF chassis probably hasn't run more than 5 or 10 minutes in total... Such a strange challenge, this...
Thanks man! Yeah, cya next year for sure! Was good fun this year, and I have a lot of RUclips watching to catch up on, both speedrun and other stuff, he he...
Thanks Freddy! Yes, this went way above my expectations this year. I was planning to just be in brushed category and was literally aiming to stay below 50 mph, but a turn of events just changed everything, he he... Yeah, I had fun with the body, and I was happy I added the light, was much easier to line up for the speedrun...
Thanks Luke! Yeah, that speed was way beyond what I would have imagined. I had fun with the body, and I knew I needed to mount it firmly, so I was happy how it worked. I will try using Dual Lock in the future, might be even more firm...
Thanks Jeremy! I'm totally amazed and surprised with this myself, I can't understand how I could achieve such a result... Well, it's on video, so I'd better believe it, he he... Now just looking forward to getting back to proper RC stuff, sadly the summer is over now also...
Eyeyeyey, exactly, Dirk... Thanks buddy, I am really excited I achieved this kind of speed... We like our kilometers, and 100 is such a great number, he he!
Thanks Optima! Yeah, it started as a joke and somehow I decided to commit to it, and I am happy I did, it was very stable and drove really nicely at speed, very balanced!
Hey Mads, just listening from the beginning that you have caught the speed run bug. The excitement during the run tells it all. This is a heart pumping moment when the joy and fear hits you take a little time to come down from that high. 67mph is awesome, are we going to see another run with the Sonic Bread Wagon? Take care and keep the fun coming
Thanks Al! No, the Sonic Bread wagon is retired now, and I am just tired, he he... Cool name, though, thanks! Yes, I was very excited about this, and as you know, the damned camera picks that up, every grin and laugh is included in the videos, he he. Goodtimes, my friend!
Thanks Glenn! Yes, completely amazing feeling! I think the camera caught much of it, but even after I got home I was still floating on the clouds and couldn't fall asleep at night... So weird, this performance hype, he he...
Excellent work Mads, so close to 70mph but brilliant to go over the 100kph mark , you cant quit now ;) . It looks like there had been a donut competition going on behind you judging by the tyre marks 😂
Thanks Tony! Yeah, close to 70, but I am plenty fine with this achievement, it is way beyond what I expected... I don't have the time to invest into a proper approach to this competition, so I'm okay with this... Yeah, those boys probably come there every evening, having a good time, they probably were annoyed with me and my toy car there, he he...
Thanks Michi! Yeah, it was a crazy ride this year, from that stupid decision to drive the chassis backwards and being forced into "Open Class" and all that, it went pretty well, after all, and I had a good time, also!
Thanks again, Paul! Yeah, this one really got to me... I wasn't expecrting much, but lots of events turned this around to be not only fun, but also quite a big speed achieved, he he...
It is a bit nerve wracking to watch them flying past you and hoping you don't crash! Congrats on exceeding your goals with it. I have to get over 70+ mph to be happy with mine but honestly I guess I need to get a legit pass in first LOL! I am glad you had so much fun with it and congrats again!!!
Thanks Addam! Yes, watching the footage, it looks a bit wild... As I remember it, the car was very controllable, and I wasn't worried at all driving so close by myself, perhaps I should have been... With the front motor, I reckon a crash would have been really dangerous... I was happy to achieve this, maybe I'll aim for 70 next year, no idea what's my situation then... This year was a bit too busy to commit to a challenge, but I know you know that situation also... Have a good one, I look forward to seeing you crack that magic 70 McMiles speed barrier!
@@madsrcbuggy I think with the front motor layout you went with it really helped with the stability. All the weight up front and over the steering and pulling wheels lends itself to being controllable. The rest of the car weighs very little which also helps when slowing down, which can be super tricky with them stock, unless you hit a big post and then it is effortless and it stops immediately!! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground Yeah, man, I was really lucky with that motor placement and weight bias. I think another factor I learned more about since last speedrun is the differentials, I have virtually locked the front and stiffened the rear a lot. The car tends to want to go straight, so the steering is really gummy and lazy, very big advantage on a speedrun car... Partly I am relieved it is over, but the devil in me also wants to get back at it, hopefully not before next spring, ha ha! Yeah, no idea how I managed to avoid the big drama this year, but at least you provided.🤣
Thanks Sean! I was really pleased and surprised to get to this speed, it was great! Funny, I am actually contemplating making a slalom challenge car out of the retired speedrun car, he he...
Ha ha, Sakura, I have no words either... I wish I could speak Japanese, he he... 67, I am completely amazed, I did not expect that... Thanks for the comment, my new friend!
Awesome RC man!!👍🏾
First!🎉 Brushed in OPEN class! Insanity! Watching with eyes wide open. 1:32
Beat me again Paul! :P

Wow !!! Well done ✌ 3 digit even in km/h is always very satisfying. Perfect 👌 Congrats 👏 💪🤝
Thanks Coy! Yeah, we do like our kilometers, he he! And three figures is so cool, I did not expect this, I am very excited!
Awesome runs brother! Enjoyed watching your speed runs! The car looks absolutely awesome! See you next year!🤜🤛
Thanks man! Yeah, cya next year for sure! Was good fun this year, and I have a lot of RUclips watching to catch up on, both speedrun and other stuff, he he...
Great runs. Love what you did with this. Well done.
What an awesome run! That’s an incredible speed!! Love the body work and your lights so you can actually see the car! lol - great job!!
Thanks Freddy! Yes, this went way above my expectations this year. I was planning to just be in brushed category and was literally aiming to stay below 50 mph, but a turn of events just changed everything, he he... Yeah, I had fun with the body, and I was happy I added the light, was much easier to line up for the speedrun...
Man I’m so happy for your speed you got. Totally luv the body and the mounting method you used with Velcro. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks Luke! Yeah, that speed was way beyond what I would have imagined. I had fun with the body, and I knew I needed to mount it firmly, so I was happy how it worked. I will try using Dual Lock in the future, might be even more firm...
Wooooow! Congratulations Mads, that is awesome! Way to go my friend!
👍😊

😀109 km/h is awesome 👌 love your excitement with that, brilliant mate 👏 👍👍😀😀😀
Thanks Playtime! Yeah, I never expected such a speed, so I did get really excited and of course I couldn't hide it, he he...
Nice job! Love the reverse built car.
Thanks Optima! Yeah, it started as a joke and somehow I decided to commit to it, and I am happy I did, it was very stable and drove really nicely at speed, very balanced!

Excellent video!! Amazing that feeling when you go over a certain milestone isn't it? 😊😊😊 happy for you
Thanks Glenn! Yes, completely amazing feeling! I think the camera caught much of it, but even after I got home I was still floating on the clouds and couldn't fall asleep at night... So weird, this performance hype, he he...
Awesome run Mads and very cool build!!
Thanks Chinook! I had a good time with this car!

Amazing run! Car is awesome! congrats on the 109kph!
Thanks so much, JYD! I'm really surprised I achieved that speed, chassis backwards and in "Open Class" and all kinds of weird stuff...
Crazy car, I love it 😊 Congratulations on your result 🎉
Thanks Michi! Yeah, it was a crazy ride this year, from that stupid decision to drive the chassis backwards and being forced into "Open Class" and all that, it went pretty well, after all, and I had a good time, also!
Excellent video. Remember to just have a good time!

Thanks Monkey! I was surprised it went to well, it was very exciting!
Wow! Nice run Mads. Congrats on topping out at 109km/h!
Thanks Sean! I was really pleased and surprised to get to this speed, it was great!
Funny, I am actually contemplating making a slalom challenge car out of the retired speedrun car, he he...
@@madsrcbuggy nice! Looking forward to the slalom run.😊
Very cool💪🙂❤️🔥
Thanks Fortes, I had a good time with this.
oh, I have no words. The first try was 21 or something, but now 67....😆
Ha ha, Sakura, I have no words either... I wish I could speak Japanese, he he... 67, I am completely amazed, I did not expect that... Thanks for the comment, my new friend!
@@madsrcbuggy hahaha, I can teach you one simple word "Yatta---!!" to celebrate yourself when you did it
