Brother, I'm telling you, it's hard to do... The hardest part is getting the speed to the ground without spinning out or wiping out... I spent more time belly up with this run, that poor body slid on it's roof for about 30 to 60 feet... Then I went and bent my rod... LMAO!!!!
Thanks man.... If not for the bad servo (I have another I can use) and the bent steering rod, damage isn't that bad.. Next few runs will be on the road, no parking lot is long enough for this thing...
That's strange man... I stripped a servo gear, a nylon servo gear in the Sand Viper, 1; I forgot I had it in there and 2; never thought of doing a speed run with it... Maybe I should hold a "Speed Run Challenge" using only Tamiya FF Front wheel drive cars....
That's a great speed Bob, even with the wipeout! I know you can smash 60 with that setup. I know you would not cheat so I say it counts. Now get that buggy fixed up and get out on that road and punch it!!! Bent rod! 🤣🤣👌👌👍👍
Hey brother Mark.... How's it hanging mate??? You guys across the pond need to step it up man.... at least 7 of you guys over there... I glued my front tires, gonna put in a new servo, I'll get a new plastic Tamiya servo saver (rather break that than an arm, upright or shock tower) and swap steering links with the Holiday Buggy cause you know, I bent my rod!!! LOL Then I'll bring out THE BIG GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiya Bob. OMG that is crazy quick! Yeah I don't think it matters if you crash and the GPS falls off. I think you've won this contest mate. Best wishes 😁👍👍
@@UncleBobsRC What KV is your set up Bob? The highest KV I have is about 4600 I think. The fast cars I have are designed for 3s or 4s so have 3300KV or lower so no good for 2s 🤔
@@UncleBobsRC Ah right, thanks for the info. Like I say I generally get more speed with more volts but not allowed in this contest. Cheers for now matey 😁
Hey Bob, ‘sweat like a pregnant nun in church’ interesting terminology 😂😂. Yeah, well let you have the 57mph 😊😊you wouldn’t have bent your rod without the speed 😊😊 best wishes to you and the family 😎🖐️😉
That sucks it ended up in a bit of a mess but it was cooking! Peter said it is good so I am going to go with it was good as well. Hope you can get it back up and running to try it again.
Thanks Addam, It just so happens I have another DT-02 kit here with the same steering rods (swap-done), easy fix for now.... Next runs will be in the road as the lot still isn't big enough... I have one more try the way it is on the road then I'm changing things up a bit...
Yeah Rob... As I always say, speed is fun but something will always break... Front tires came off the wheels, (cleaned and now glued) camber link popped off (that's back in place) and as for me bent rod, well My Holiday Buggy will donate it's steering link(s) till I get the adjustable links for the DT-02. Now for the speed I got, I need a lot twice as big or hit a country road less traveled that's long and smooth... Just think, I'm not even using my fastest motor yet.......
Sweating like a pregnant nun in church!!😂🤣😅 Another superb run buddy... that things quick man!! I'm pretty sure that still counts,it's obviously doing those kind of speeds even if it did suffer with some premature GPS ejaculation!! I think it's guna be a battle of the titans between you and Peter Smith in this one....may the best man/car win! Great stuff fella!👍 👍 👍
Premature gps ejaculation, now that's funny... Here's another something funny... I got an email from Mr. Smith and I seen his thing and I showed him mine... Get your mind(s) out of the gutter.... Not that thing (besides, we all know everything is bigger in the States, LMAO). as my buddy Kevin said, Snipers are out there and will strike at the last minute and knock us all down.. I do plan to show all the gear I used and take the motor cover off at my final run. Crash or not, it all will be recorded, from the lipo I use to the connectors I use, tires, motor, esc.... Everything. I will only be using a 19 tooth pinion, I have been all along.
@@UncleBobsRC Yeah man,not guna argue with that one matey..... you guys over the other side of the lake certainly know how to go big!🤣 As for the snipers..... sounds like you have some inside info there buddy! I'm certainly looking forward to watching the brushless battle unfold either way! And of course we have our own battles to fight in the brushed category! 😂 Be interesting to see your set up in detail after that last run for sure..... I'm pretty clueless to the whole brushless thing in all honesty mate,but fun to learn along the way. Good luck with your mission Uncle Clod.....I mean Bob!! Best wishes from the UK!👍👍👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC England & Holland are my roots (Dad came over here when he was 4 in 1928) and us kids (his kids) were the first in the blood line born here. Yeah mate, brushed & brushless is going to be something... I wonder, if Peter comes in first will he keep the 1st place prize or hand it off to the runner up (2nd place)?? Either way, I'm gonna push this buggy way past its limits and if I wreck it, well, I'll get another, I kinda like it... Good luck to you all over there!!!!!!
@@UncleBobsRC Ah,so you have some English blood in you eh buddy?! 👍 As for Peter,the guy has a heart of gold and is so generous..... I don't think he would even allow himself to win his own competition, he would probably deliberately hold back to let others win I would guess. He has come down to see us a few times now,and he clearly gets pleasure by helping others in this great hobby we all share. We are looking forward to flipping the script soon and getting him a present! 😁 And, I'm in no doubt that you will carry out your quest to the end matey.....I still remember seeing that TTO2 of yours last year,the parachute special! 😂 Good luck dude! 👍 👍 👍
Yes Uncle Bob, a crash at 57 mac mph should count 👍 I crashed at 31mph and still added it to the leader board so i think that 57mph should be added to the board as well ✌️ And congratulations on 57mph ... You are still in 1st place, you lucky sod 😆😝😄
@@UncleBobsRC We all need more room Bob but the general public in their motor cars don't see it our way 😆 Maybe you can get the Police to close a main road for you so that you can reach the ultimate top speed time 😆😝🤣
Sorry bud just got done with the family get together and had a lot of catching up to do. Man that really sucks about the car I know you will get back up and running. As we all know if you hit a wall it doesn't make you faster but I don't know the rules on it but 57mph whoa that is cooking.
Thanks man and no worries... As I told you at your house, that lot isn't big enough... Next runs will have to be in the road... A run with this set up in the road and the last one I'll spice things up a bit more...
Great stuff Bob!! You are smashing it (literally)

Too bad about wrecking out but you’ve got my vote for “let it count!”
👍😊

I love the dt02 platform. My holiday buggy is one of my favorite RC’s. Bad part is Mine tends to eat servos for some reason.
