    I guessed 26, 30mph, not bad! Doubled the speed! Nice build!

    @ericwood2790 3 года назад +1

    30mph was a lot faster than I thought it would go , I thought the stock gears and pinion would limit it . Another great job .

      Hi sir, i thought same but all seems great. No problems with 30 but some RUclipsrs have done 43 mph but I don’t know if those survived. Thanks 🙏

    Well done, nice attention to detail.
    I agree, about the rear shocker is to stiff & maybe a little short as the rear looks to low.
    I wonder, if you could fit a longer oil filled shocker on the rear? Cheers

    • @LukesVintageRC
      @LukesVintageRC  3 года назад

      Hi sir, yeah you could do a longer shock but a slight body mod would be necessary and the pivot point would need modded. Thank you 🙏

    The gears in these were tougher than the Nikko and Tyco versions. Radio shack always over built things. Their version of the qd midnight pumpkin has a much better design of the gear set than the original brittle Tamiya design

      @@LukesVintageRC very welcome, and thanks so much!! I will use a 10t pinion from Tamiya. Almost always the pitch is 32 like Tamiya. It saves having to take the gear off the stock motor. Sometimes they just don’t want to come off. I damaged a gear pulled trying it once😅

    I've been binge watching your videos. After watching this and the Golden Arrow video, I think you are the perfect person to ask some questions about a possible project I'm planning. I have a Golden Arrow/Lobo and i want to replace the pressed collars that hold the front end and transmission on. I see the Red Arrow has a bolt and nut. Will this fit the Golden Arrow? Is there anywhere i can find the parts or make them from available bolts and nuts? Also, is there a way to put a bolt and nut or nut on the shock tower to make them easier to remove instead of that pressed fitting? Again is there an off the shelf solution or custom one that would work?

    • @LukesVintageRC
      @LukesVintageRC  Год назад

      Jason unfortunately there’s no real true fit Hobby grade perfect made parts. It’s all experimental. Your best bet is to sell and repurchase another one in better condition. eBay. Thanks for watching many more videos ahead.
