Epic truck. I have the FTX DR8 which runs the same driveline, suspension arms etc but on a 360mm chassis. That RC has been almost bulletproof over the last 4 years.. I use it a lot & it's still 95% original.! I'm sure this will be just as durable.! Subbed & liked & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍
Hello Alantaylor, thanks for stopping by to watch the video, really appreciate the sub. I have seen a lot of video's on the DR8, that is a beast of a machine, and for it to last 4 years original is amazing. Again thanks for the sub. Take care and best wishes to you as well.💯💯💯💯💯
Hello Freddy, thanks for watching the video, really appreciate the great comment. It's pretty quick, but not like the Arrma Infraction out of the box. Take care and stay safe
Hello ReadySet, I want to thank you for the supportive comment. Coming from you means a lot, I am will to take any criticism from you if you have any to help me improve my content. I did take it out for a little test run yesterday down my driveway and in front of my house. it's a little ripper with the 12t pinion, but I think a 16 or 17t pinion will be the sweet spot for this one. Thanks for watching, take care and stay safe
@@sparetimerc Keep doing what you are doing Al. That love for the RC comes through the camera. I can't wait to see this running. If it's anything like the Model GT, it's going to be insane.
Hey Trey, you were the first person that came to mind once the lights started changing colors. I am going to try out 3 different pinion gears to find the sweet spot for me. Thanks for watching and for the AWESOME comment. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.
Great car and review. Beside tis I like the stickers on the transmitter, too. This set of wrenches is a great idea. These cist a lot, even at the jungle river.
Hi Dirk, thanks I'm trying to get better on my unboxings. still have a long way to go. The transmitter is a pretty cool looking, I was surprised when I saw the wrenches in the box with the transmitter (not expected) it's great to have another set of tools. a decent set does cost a little more than expected. Appreciate you stopping by to watch the video and for the great comment as well. Take care and best wishes to you and the family my friend.
Hello Allscalerc, thanks for stopping by to watch the video, and for the wonderful comment. When I was buying parts for the Infraction, was looking for another street basher to run with the Infraction (Model GT) and I saw this and it just looked to good to pass up. Still might get the Model GT to keep it interesting. Take care and stay safe.
The only real difference between the DT and the GT besides the body are the staggered tires on the GT. The body on the GT is beautiful and wider than the DT. I have them both. I have a video of them side by side on my channel. 👍👍👍@@sparetimerc
Thanks Jeremy, now instead of just backyard bashing I can enjoy some regular street bashing with the Model DT, Infraction and the Kyosho Skyline GT-R. Hoping to get a running video edited and out soon. Thanks for watching and for the great comment. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.
Hello Danjones1277, I really appreciate that you stopped by to watch the video, and I am grateful that you subscribed, that really mean a lot to me. I'm just a hobbyist that like to have fun, like to break my vehicles in first before I go crazy with them. Again, thanks for the sub, take care and stay safe.💯💯💯💯💯
Hey Milt, thanks for stopping by to watch the video and for the awesome comment. Looking for something different and this is the start. Appreciate the support my friend, take care and best wishes to you and the family. 💥💥💥
Hi Tom, it does look good, the quick release pin will help out with the maintenance and pinion gear change. Now the lights, not sure which one will be primary during the day runs🤔🤔🤔but it nice to have choice. I am trying to get my unboxing down like you and others, put out information for others to make a choice. I appreciate the supportive comment, and I am glad to get this type of feedback . Take care and stay safe.
Thanks RcNickster, I could have gotten the 8s model dt but, I'm not looking to be a speed run person, just looking to have some street fun, will I do a speed run with it YES!!! but nothing like 140mph. I don't have that kind of money to purchase tires every 2 runs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I appreciate you stopping by to watch the video and for the awesome comment. Stay safe and best wishes to you and the family.
Hey Thad, I was browsing through AliExpress and saw this one (eye catcher) so thought I would give it a shot. Took it out yesterday and I will say on the 12t pinion it is a little ripper. I can see that I will need to get new tires for it (like the Infraction) it will destroy some tires in normal bashing. The body is a quirky looking one but I like the body style. I appreciate you watching and leaving a great comment. Take care my friend and best wishes to you and the family.
Hi Al, oh really nice! This time it’s going to be a ripper on road and no somersaults 😂😂 all 4 wheels on the ground for maximum speed 🚀🏎️best wishes and enjoy my friend. 😊😊
Thanks John, its nice to have a few RCs to have for street bashing instead of taking my back yard bashers out on the streets. Now the somersaults should not happen but you never know when you are sending something like this full throttle down a road (Murphy's Law) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching John and best wishes to you and the family, take care and stay safe my friend.
Thanks for stopping by to watch the video RAllyandTrail. Also thanks for the wonderful comment, it does look good but I really don't purchase RC to keep a shelf Queens, they all get run, some more than others but they do see some bash times. I should have the first running video of this out in due time. I appreciate the support. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.
Dammmmn boy, that is one sweet , epic looking truck man! Looks so rigid, like it can do figure 8’s in side a dime! I’ve got one FS racing Rc in my collection, and it’s by no means a racer or this big😝. This should be Big on fun ! Super nice Al!👊🏼😎✌🏼
It is a nice looking RC Robby, it is a solid built truck not much play in the suspension, the shocks are firm and feels good, took it out for a shakedown yesterday and it did really good on stock gearing. The next run will be with th14t that came with it and maybe put in a 16t to see what it feels like. Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment, truly appreciate it Robby. Take care and best wishes to you and the family,
I not sure, but I would think that it may be based off the ZD Racing EXO7, They haven't put anything out on it as far as electronics, so I am guessing a 150amp esc, with either a 2050 or 2000kV motor (base on the price).
Superb unboxing Al finely arrived 💪 That's the exact same as the suparfoza GT apart from the rear wheels size and I'm sure the rear gearing is different because of it . If you are going to get bigger pinions get another cooling fan for the motor also There is toe adjustment on the front also it's on the hub carrier . The cut out on the wheel arches is to prevent some of that burning rubber getting into the chassis 😁🤣 . I'm looking forward to seeing running footage.have a great weekend 👊💥
Hi Fonzie, it did arrive it came in 3 day's then expected. I did read in the parts manual that the front input & crown gearing is 18t/43t and the rear is 16t/43t, guessing to make up for the rear tire being the same diameter as the front. My plan is to run it on 12/14t pinion first to see if the motor and esc get a little warm, and if that happens I have two fans ready to install in it. I do have a question for you concerning the camber adjustment for the front of the model dt. Any idea on how to get the front tires to sit flat? Thanks for the helpful advice and for watching the video. Take care and best wishes to you and the family
@@sparetimerc hi Al I will get a little video for you . That's strange on the gearing I thought it had the same tyre sizes front and rear unlike the suparfoza talk to you soon 👋
Hey ReactionRC, I purchased this on AliExpress The Link has changed or the store I purchased it from may not have anymore. Type in FSR Model DT and it should show at least 3 different RC Hobby Stores that sell them. Wish I could help out more.
@@ReactionRC Just a little heads up all the parts for this vehicle is the same as the FTX/FSR Model GT, with the exception of the body. It will take time to arrive since it is coming from overseas.
