Kyosho Outlaw Ultima Truck Rebuilt

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- After a long time waiting to get rebuilt and some setbacks along the way, the Outlaw Ultima rebuild is done. The only thing lacking is the stock wheels in the rear, but I am still looking for options. It turned out looking great with the Team Blue Groove body set and the MCI decals making it look all pretty and new! This kit was donated to the channel and a huge thank you goes out to James for sending it to me for a rebuild project, I hope it makes you smile seeing it all back together and looking good!
You guys are all awesome and I appreciate all the great comments and questions from everyone. Really enjoying talking to you all in the comments section.

It came out sharp looking, everyone makes mistakes in RC and with the vintage stuff probably a lot more! can't wait to see it go!!
Thanks Steve, it looks great and I am glad I went with the black. It is really snazzy looking and makes the decals really pop. I should have hit it with the clear pearl first but forgot I got a can of it! The mistakes with the side guards was just me not looking up the instructions and making assumptions which cost me! It happens and in the end it turned out great so it was worth it, even doing it the hard way! LOL!
I really like this. There is something about old school stadium trucks. I just love it. I dont know if it's the boxy 80s 90s trucks styling. Or the potential capabilities being ultima based. I just loved that era of race buggy converted to trucks. It just screams the good old days
I agree, the old stadium trucks were just cool! They were the hottest thing out there for a number of years! I love them for the looks and handling, the often cornered much better than the buggies, those big chunky tires kicking up dirt also looked super cool too! I remember waiting weeks on end and scouring the old TV guide for stadium truck racing to show up on Wide World of Sports on the weekends to see the real ones in action! Ahhh the good old days!
Cool truck! With all the re-re buggies I'm surprised we don't really see trucks like that one get brought back. Take my money Kyosho!
Thank you! It turned out great! I am with you, if they would re-re some of these kits they would be rolling in the money. The Raider and various Ultima lines would make them tons of money! They are too busy slapping new bodies on the same chassis over and over again though.
That truck is gorgeous. Look like another that needs to go on the list. Great job Addam
It is a terrific looking truck! I am super happy with the way it turned out and the black was the right choice for paint! Sorry to add to the list but you'll be happy to have one in your collection!
I love the vintage love happening on this channel! I'm not 1 for making long posts, but the respect is there.
Thanks Paul! I am glad you enjoyed it. I try to keep it mixed up some but I really do love the old kits the most! Thanks for checking in, I appreciate it as it does help the video get out to others! They don't have to be a book so no worries on that!
Hi Addam! I appreciate the way you live this hobby not only using money for expensive new kits but looking around and finding used interesting and hope cheap things and this time you made a great job. Nice Idea!!
I love all aspects of it! Old, new fast, slow... there are so many fun and interesting things out there and each offers its own experience and joys! The older ones have a special place in my heart as there were so many great ones I wanted but could never dream of affording so being able to get some of those now makes the little kid in me so very happy!!! I am glad you are enjoying them and there is much more to come in the future! Take care Nanni and have a wonderful weekend my friend.
@@AddamsPlayground have fun in this troubled world!
Love that it was months apart!!
Love that old RC rally truck look!
You keep the beard way shorter in summer!!
Man your RC room is just Awsome.
Yeah it took a while to get done! I did turn out looking really sweet and I was able to get a set of factory wheels on there way here as well. So hopefully they get here and I can get it on matching wheels! I did get it out for a drive and there were issues, you will see that in the next video. The beard needed to get trimmed back for the hot weather and it was just getting too long in general. Once it gets to a certain length it enters the danger-zone of getting caught in things so I try and avoid that if at all possible! I will be working on a collection video and maybe a hobby room/rooms tour soon as well!
That’s such a great looking truck! Being an Ultima..It should be a blast to drive too.
Thanks Sean! It turned out looking super cool in the black paint scheme! It is so flashy looking and the decals really pop on there! I think is should drive pretty well, I just need the angry temperatures to simmer down some out there! I hate the heat so much, always have. I am a fall and winter kind of guy!
I love it. I'm a sucker for this type of truck! It reminds me of the Tamiya monster racer.
I do love the vintage stadium trucks! They were the hottest thing out there and the vintage ones like this that look like real trucks are super cool. I do like some of the later ones where the body became lower and molded to the suspension but these are the top shelf ones for sure! The Monster Racer and the King Cab are two other wonderful examples!
@@AddamsPlayground this one looks a bit more durable than the Tamiya ones!
@@Geo_art_RC yeah the chassis on this should hold up without any issues!!
Ah mate..... That truck is soooo me!!!
Love it!
The question is, why have I never seen one of these before? 🤔
Being so heavily into the scene bsck in the day I find it quite bizarre that I never knew these existed!!
What a great concept, stadium truck looks on the superb Ultima chassis!!
I bet that thing drives really well buddy.
Very nice of James to donate it, and you really done it justice..... great job on the restoration.
As for the time span, you just can't rush these projects..... they are done over the course of years not months.
It takes a long time hunting these vintage and obsolete parts down..... which is actually half the fun!
And, I loved the DIY gasket hack..... I will have to remember that one.
I bet TBG and MCI love you, loads of business!
Black was the right call on the colour, turned out stunning!
Already put this down in my ebay saved searches list!
Great video Addam.
👍 👍 👍
It is a cool truck and it turned out very nice! I just need to track down a set of those rear wheels and I can call it complete! This came out in those transition years when the stadium trucks were really becoming the hot new thing. I think the big names like the RC10T (which came out about a year later) really took over and hogged all the spotlight. TBG and MCI do get a small amount of business from me, I try to keep it one time purchases but in this one I have to go back a few times so the shipping killed me! I am very glad I went with the black paint scheme, it looks really nice and makes the decals really pop. If you do find one on eBay make sure it has the front body mount on it, that was impossible to find by itself for me! I almost started to try and make my own when I found that junker chassis. I am glad you enjoyed it and take care James!
@@AddamsPlayground
Cheers for the advice buddy. 😊
You speak like a 'true' rc addict.....
Only we can justify buying a whole new vehicle just for one body post!
😂 😅 🤣
But yeah, I'm in no rush mate..... Will try and find a complete and nice example if possible.
All the best matey. 😊
👍 👍 👍
It's a Great looking truck. Black came out great.
Thank you! It turned out looking pretty sweet, the black was the right choice. I am sure the white and blue would have looked good but that black just pops!!
Love the old late 80s early 90s stadium racers. That was my favorite class to race as a kid. Also I did get all the mini mazdas . Thanks again bud there is alot more then I thought there was lol
They are cool looking trucks and were the hottest thing out for a good number of years! I am very happy with the way this one turned out in the end! I am glad they finally showed up, took them long enough to get there! There were quite a few in that lot and I am glad you have them, they are in the right hands now! Enjoy them!
Cracking job on that resto Addam, looks fantastic
Thanks Glenn! It turned out looking super cool and I am very glad I went with the black paint scheme as it is very flashy looking! I am sure it will look very sharp running around in the yard! Take care and have a great weekend!
I’m glad you did black. I liked the black version better than the white
I am very happy with the black! It looks so cool and super classy looking! I am sure the white/blue combo would have looked good but I was drawn to the black version more!
Awesome presentation Addam. I like that you mentioned all the details. Sorry can't help with the shock info. The new car looks awesome
I am glad you enjoyed it Dirk! It turned out great and as soon as I can find the correct real wheels I will call it complete so the hunt continues! LOL! The shock springs seem to have been all gold but it is very hard to tell in the photos I have seen and the manual is all in black and white drawings so no help there! I am fine with the gold fronts and silver rears, makes it seem racy! LOL!!
Never heard of this one before great looking truck thanks for sharing Adam 👌
I am glad you enjoyed it and got to see something new! These came out in 1990 when the boom of stadium trucks was on and lots of folks were switching from buggy racing to truck racing. Kyosho and others were responding to the trend with what they knew until they came up with their own designs! Everyone was trying to keep up with the new trend and we got a lot of cool trucks from that era!
Ohh yeah now were talking, thats a sweet truck and nice rebuild.
Thanks! Sorry I lost all the pics from the actual clean up and rebuild, I think I deleted them from my phone thinking they were already on the PC I edit on. The problems of projects that get drug out too long! In the end it turned out looking wonderful and I love the black paint scheme, it is very flashy!
Wow.. 😮 Lovely resto Addam well done dude great job as always 😊 looks brill.. 👍👍😍look forward to seeing run 😊 Pete
Thanks Pete, It turned out looking super great and I am glad i went with the black pain scheme, it really looks flashy!! I will get it out for a run as soon as we get a dry feeling day, my chunky self sweats like a its my job on a hot day but a hot and humid it is miserable! LOL!
The truck looks great Addam! A real aggressive stance!👍😊
Thanks Jeremy! It is sharp dressed truck now for sure. I really dig the black paint scheme as it really makes the decals pop! I love the look of the classic stadium trucks and this one fits the bill perfectly. I will try and get it out this weekend for a run.
Another fantastic rebuild incredible work this one will be in the next reaction vid take care Addam have a great week 👊
Thanks Mark! It turned out pretty sweet looking! I am glad I chose to go with the black paint scheme, it really pops! Look forward to hearing what you had to say in the video! Take care and have a great week as well!
This truck looks amazing Addam!! Awesome job!!
Thanks Ryan! It turned out looking really nice and the only thing left is trying to get the wheels to match! I keep looking for a set but they seem to be about as hard to find as that front body mount was! I will eventually stumble on a set of them!
Well done Addam 👌 great job 👏
Thanks Mark! It turned out looking really cool and I am glad i went with the black paint scheme. It really makes it all pop and looks quite snazzy!
Last
I just finished restoring the tamiya falcon today I got it for free and put in a speed control and receiver I already had bought new bearings for 20 bucks and some other things on eBay for a total of $57 I love getting things for free that cost me money lol but I brought it back to life
Yeah sometimes the free one cost a lot of time and money to get right but at the same time they are often the ones I cherish the most! I love a RC with a story or some history behind it, it makes them much more special and unique. Anyone can go to the store and buy on but one given to you for one reason or another that has a story to go along with adds a special level of cool that can't be bought. I m glad you were able to get the Falcon back up and running, don't run it too hard as they tend to be some fragile things!!! LOL!
That is awesome!! Fixing up an old Falcon! You're my new friend , congratulations on your new to you, vintage kit!
@@Paul__FC when are we driving together lol
@@AddamsPlayground I will keep the silver can motor so I don't destroy it lol it was given to 2 other people before it was given to me
Man! Mistakes were made. 😂 Looking good. Thanks for sharing long and short beard Addam.
LOL! A couple times! I was a bit click happy on ordering things and that lead to re-ordering. The goof of the under tray bit s was just me assuming something and not taking the time to look at the instructions!! In the end it turned out looking sweet and made it all worth the round and round that got me there! LOL I was going to re-record the whole thing due to the old and new footage but decided to run with it and just confuse you guys with the beard change! LOL!
The truck came out awesome what a cool project protect that body lol glad you chose black
Thank you! It turn out really nice looking and the black was definitely the right call! I am sure it would have looked good in the white and blue but the black really pops! I think I may have stumbled across a set of wheels for it too so fingers crossed they are correct!
Awesome job, like the body on it, contrasting with the wheels. Well done 👍🤝
Thank you! I am very happy I went with the black paint scheme as it really pops and looks nice and flashy! I would like to replace the spoke wheels in the back but I am sure I will stumble on a set eventually. Until then it rocks the spokes!
Haha how many times have l made mistakes its definitely part of the hobby! But end of the day wow Addam this looks epic! Such a cool truck!
Will look awesome in action!😉👍
In the end it turned out looking great! It was just some trial and error getting it this far! LOL! I am fine with a goof up but the side guards were just me assuming things and not looking at the manual to make sure it was right the first time! I would have save a lot in shipping charges if I had slowed down my clicking and paid more attention! LOL! Some lessons are best learned the hard way at times! LOL!
Nice to see on old "Ultima" get restored. I think the black looks awesome. I didn't realize that the outlaw had lexan side guards. I'm sure if you raced one back in the day those were immediately taken off. I bet it's a blast to run. Great video Adam!
Thanks! It turned out looking really snazzy in the black paint scheme, it really makes the decals pop! It probably depended on the track conditions if you ran the side guards or not. In dry conditions it may catch a lot of dirt and rocks inside so they probably would leave them off. I the wet it would probably do very well to keep the excess weight from collecting in the chassis. It looks kind of silly without it so it was a must for the rebuild but for racing I can see them as optional. I will try and get it out for a run this weekend in the morning before the heat rolls in. I sure do miss the winter!
That truck looks awesome I didn't know they made a truck like that. Great video Addam... Reminds me of a rc10t but cooler...😎💯👍
Thanks Paul! It turned out looking super cool in the black paint scheme! It is so flashy looking and the decals really pop on there! I think is should drive pretty well, I will try and get out with it tomorrow morning for a run before the heat rolls in. There was a huge push in the very late 80s and the early 90s for 2wd truck racing and this one one of the first ones out there for it. All the manufacturers were trying to adapt their existing buggies over to truck while they were developing specialty trucks. There were a lot of great ones made through this time and slowly the morphed into the sleeker and more molded bodies into the mid 90s like the RC 10t and the loads of others trying to compete with it!
@@AddamsPlayground Thats exactly what i was thinking it looked like rc10 and ultima added very similar parts to make it into a truck..Kinda digging the morph.. Truck is so sweet Addam dont beat it up to bad Kyosho probably wont rere like TA... So cool bud.. Now I want to make a tamiya brat as a cheap substitute haha..
I can relate, my friend. During a recent vintage restoration, I placed a decal in the wrong position. It looks just fine, but not exactly box art as intended. Maybe I will order another set from MCI, haven't decided yet.....
It happens, it was a series of too quick decisions that lead to mistakes! In the end it was all worth it as it turned out looking great. I just need to track down those wheels and it will be perfect. Until them it rocks the spokes! MCI is having a 20% off sale this weekend in case you did not get the emails.
@@AddamsPlayground MCI 20% off, thank you for the tip.
The new chassi looks good😉 I hope it have quality enough for you 💪
That body shell is beautiful 😍
Thank you! I am very happy with how it turned out and I love the looks of it. The black paint scheme was the right way to go, it looks very nice! Take care and have a great week!
This is a great project even with all the trials and tribulations. The black was a great choice. I thought I found a set of wheels on Ebay, but they were painted black. I thought that's not a big problem. But, when you look closely they a chipped and cracked with pieces broken off.
Thanks Michael, it turned out really nice and I am glad I went with the black! It really looks flashy and the decals really stand out! I have been on the lookout for months and I have seen some but they were either dyed, painted or broken! I found one other chassis but it had 2 front and only one rear on it so it was not worth it to spend that much for one wheel! I will keep searching and I will stumble across a set eventually! Until then it will rock the spokes!
Lovely truck Addam, well done and good luck finding those wheels!
Thank you! I actually have a set coming from a fellow RUclipsr from Canada, Poor Boys RC! They need some work but they should finish off the truck! Once it has the proper wheels on it I will be over the moon with it! I am pretty happy now but sitting on the correct wheels will be the cake topper for me! Thanks for checking it out!
Wonderful job Addam👍👍 , That looks Awesome😎💯 , Wish it was mine
Thanks! It turned out really nice and the black paint scheme was the way to go! It really makes the decals pop and of course it is shiny and snazzy! I loved the stadium truck surge in the 90s and this is a great example of them!
G'day mate!, That looks really nice👌🏁. Another ripper addition to your collection Addam👍.
No you weren't rambling lol, we actually found your video really interesting and I bet you saved another rc'er from getting lost with the body👍. Thanks for making your video and sharing with us mate👩🤠🦘🇦🇺
Thanks Guys, glad you enjoyed it! It turned out looking super cool in the black paint scheme! It is so flashy looking and the decals really pop on there! I think is should drive pretty well, I just need the angry temperatures to simmer down some out there! I hate the heat so much, always have. I am a fall and winter kind of guy! I felt like it was a bit on the rambling side since the beginning and the end were shot so far apart I did not remember what I had covered. If I were smart about it I would have quickly watched the first part and then recorded the end but that would require forethought and planning, neither I have much skill or grace in LOL! I edited most of the repeated things out so it was not as bad as it was for me! LOL!! Thanks as always for the lovely comments and for taking the time to watch! I hope you both have a wonderful weekend, take care!
@@AddamsPlayground
We're the same mate, it's winter here and it's really nice comfortable weather, we have our slow combustion wood heater simmering. Summer is just too hot for us as well. It's always a pleasure watching and listening, we're watching our mate and learning about rc's😁👩👌. We never noticed anything repeated or rambling. The truck turned out looking great!, Good work putting all the bits n piece's together mate. Thankyou and take care🙏
Looks like a beauty! Can't wait to see it in action!
Thanks! I will try and get out and run it tomorrow morning before the hot rolls in!
Very nice Addam
Thank you! It turned out looking super cool in the black paint scheme! It is so flashy looking and the decals really pop on there! I think is should drive pretty well, I will try to get out tomorrow morning for a run with it before the heat rolls in!
Good video Addam I have a optima buggy that needs about the same amount of work but as you know projects on top of projects lol😂that's our way
Yeah some of them are clean up and run and others take some parts searching. It can be fun to look for deals on parts but it can also be frustrating trying to find parts that are not common or just plain hard to find. This was a mixture of both! I am still struggling to find a good set of those wheels. Gives me something to do when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep! LOL!
Hi Addam, sorry I've missed a couple of vids but having a difficult time over here at the moment! Anyway, great score with the spare chassis and the useful parts you could rob off it! But dude, that body looks so cool and you are right, the stickers pop on the black. Haha, your story about the undertray/side covers made me chuckle! You are not alone my friend! Those pics at the end really showed it off! Great work! 😎👊👍
Thanks Mark, it turned out pretty sweet. No worries on missing a few, life is more than toy trucks on RUclips! I hope all is well and whatever is going on blows over quickly. You and the family will be on my thoughts and prayers bud! The black paint job was the way to go, I am sure the white/blue paint scheme would have looked good too but this really shines! I intentionally left the story in there as I know we all make mistakes, sometimes several in the same project!! This one was very avoidable with a couple minute to look at the instructions! LOL! I am glad you enjoyed it Mark and I hope you have a great week!!
@@AddamsPlayground Hi Addam, many thanks for the kind words, it's very much appreciated over here! I think some of the issues will be longer term but fingers tightly crossed mate!
Great looking truck
Thanks Martin! It turned out looking really great in the black paint scheme, it is very flashy looking! I am sure it will look great running around out side too!
That looks sweet, cracking job 👍 i’ll be honest, i didnt even know about this truck. But now i do 😁
Thanks Richard! It is a neat cross-over from the buggy era to the Stadium truck era in the late very late 80s and into the 90s. This one came out in 1990 and like a lot of the early one it was very much a buggy with a truck wrapper on it but there is a fair amount of changes to make it all work out. It turned out looking great, the initial run was cut a bit short and that should be up on Wednesday's video.
Hey Addam the Kyosho Outlaw Ultima is looking good, I would do the same just take it out for a run in the grass and not to crazy, that is a rare RC and pretty sure that certain parts are very difficult to find. And the ones you do find may be a bit expensive. That is a sweet looking body with that paint scheme. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.
Thanks Al! It turned out looking pretty sweet and I am very happy I went with the black paint scheme on it. It is so shiny and really makes the whole truck pop! I was able to get a set of wheels on the way, they need to be stripped and cleaned up a lot but I think once those are on it will be fully completed! It will get out for the light run, I mostly don't want to scratch up the pretty body LOL! Some of the parts for this on are a real pain to find and you really have to get the google-foo going to find some! LOL! Take care Al and I will email you soon to set something up.
Love the old vintage rebuilds, but waiting for parts to come in or to show up on eBay is so painful. I have been working on 2 vintage Losi RCs for months. That came out great btw, should be fun to drive around...good luck not rolling it! 😂
Thanks Erick, it turned out looking quite nice! The ordering of stuff for this one turned into a struggle for me! I needed to pay more attention to what I was buying before clicking things! LOL!! The only thing left is the wheels and they seem pretty scarce as I have not found any yet in months of checking. I am starting to look for other brands and after market. Sadly most of the after marker are all hex front and not the bearing fronts. one of these days I will stumble across some! I look forward to seeing your projects, Losi RCs are tough to find parts for as well! ONe of the reasons I don't have any vintage ones in the collection yet. I will get this one out as soon as this heat wave passes or we at least get a dry feeling day!
Wow looks really cool Addam. Quite a project to get all the bits but a great result. Personally I'd go and bash the crap out of it but that's me 🤣
Thanks Pete! It turned out looking great! I took some trial and error getting all the parts, Kyosho don't reuse quite as many parts as Tamiya does so it is a bit more hit or miss at times finding the right thing! Tamiya is more like "parts tree F, sure, that went on 38 other kits!" LOL. I will get it out for a drive and I will give it what she's got in the grass, I just wince at the thought of that pretty body grinding across the dirt on the track if it rolls! LOL!
i love this mate . looks awesome and its gonna be great fun 😊👍
Thanks Dom, It turned out looking great! The shiny black paint scheme really makes the decals pop! I think it will be a fun one to drive! I need to get out before the heat rolls in and makes it miserable out there again. I miss the winter! LOL!
Nice
Thanks! It turned out looking really nice in the end. It just took a few tries to get things I needed and to get the body and stuff done right! I am still shaking my head at myself for those chassis side guards!!! LOL!
Nice one mate . I like these rebuild vid's you do . Keep it up 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Sorry I lost all the pics from the actual clean up and rebuild, I think I deleted them from my phone thinking they were already on the PC I edit on. The problems of projects that get drug out too long! In the end it turned out looking wonderful and I love the black paint scheme, it is very flashy!
@@AddamsPlayground no worries mate , i liked it just the way it was.
Beautiful truck my friend, love it...!
Gauranga
Thank you It turned out looking really great in the black paint scheme, it is very flashy looking! I am sure it will look great running around out side too!
@@AddamsPlayground forsure it will..
Dam I wanted a track run.😂
Not for this one.It turned out to nice and shiny plus some of the parts are very hard to find.
Super cool dude....
Thanks Bob! It turned out looking really nice and I am glad I went with the black paint job, it really makes the decals pop and looks real flashy!
@@AddamsPlayground You should look up the Nitro version of the truck.. same body but a black & white paint job, it looks killer..
That's a great looking truck, its a shame that they don't seem to be that common or popular these days, well in the UK at least. Kyosho don't make a modern equivalent, nor Tamiya if you ignore the Blitzer Beetle and Aqroshot. The only ones seem to be made by Team Associated, the modern Truggy RC10T6.4 and the RC10T re release. I have an RC10T on order, but not sure if I'll build it yet.
Yeah, the only stadium trucks out there are ones like Schumacher, Associated, Xray and some other high end ones that are too much for me to want to buy. I do have the RC10T on order as well, I could not pass up on getting that icon. Everyone in the 90s was running them or trying to keep up with them! I really wish Losi would stop selling tiny RCs and get on board with the demand for the re-release ones, there were a lot of cool ones from them back then!
Let me have a look when I'm in Japan if I can find some I will send them to you. I'm off to some of the best shops including a Kyosho shop so you never know your luck enjoy.
Oh man, that would be epic if you could stumble on some over there! If you do find some let me know and we can make arrangements to get them here! If not, no worries, some will turn up at some point! Enjoy your trip and have fun going to the shops over there! I can only imagine the fun of wandering through some of them!
@AddamsPlayground now worries I put it on my shopping list so I hope I can find them for you. For sure the hobby shops there are amazing and the best thing is that it's super cheap, and then you also get duty-free. I will let you know how I go. I will be back at the end of July, enjoy your day.
@AddamsPlayground do you know the part number and description ? It can be difficult due to the language barrier if not sure I can manage.
@@kanenstuff the part number in the manual is UM-70 and labeled as just Wheel Set. It appears they were in a pair of one front and one rear per package.
@AddamsPlayground perfect thank 👍🏻
Looks awesome Addam, nice job. Hey, where did you get the silver tape you used inside the body?
Thanks! It turned out looking pretty sweet! The tape is some I picked up from Amazon. Here is my Amazon link to what I got amzn.to/3zfqbNs
It is not as good as the Tamiya silver tape but it does the job. The Tamiya stuff sticks a lot better but is a bit more expensive. You can find it on the Tamiya USA website.i did find it pretty quick on Amain - www.amainhobbies.com/tamiya-aluminum-reinfoed-tape-tam53351/p139953?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw7NmzBhBLEiwAxrHQ-R7l1RFi8rgU4XhZ3JChDE8Jma3k5a27_qfRTCbUxiga7ZUO5bLqGBoClzoQAvD_BwE
Can you please tell us where to get the cheap servos and receivers, I like you have so many kits to build and can’t afford to put top gear in them all. Thanks I have really enjoyed your videos
The servos are easy, I get mine from Amazon and here is my Amazon link to them - amzn.to/4bvnx3P right now they are about $18 for a pack of 4. Out of the more than a hundred I have used only 2 have failed or glitched so far.
For the receivers, I get mine from eBay usually and just search for the part number of the stock one and it should pull a big listing for the replacements on there. I use the SR3100 Spektrum knockoffs with mine as I got hooked on the Spektrum radios years ago and now all of them have those receivers in them so I am kind of married to them now! LOL!! I can usually get them for $13-15 a piece and many have deals where if you order more than one or two you get a price break on them. you just have to shop around to find the best deal on them between price and shipping costs.
@@AddamsPlayground Thanks for that, I will give them a go. I have had great luck with my spectrum gear but getting sick of paying $35 a receiver.
Looks epic. I got these tyres on a Super Levant I bought, put the original tyres and wheels back on so to keep it original, but wanted to use the tyres it came with on something custom, do you know what theyre off?
The ones I have on here are the Schumacher "Vee 2" 2.2 truck tires, part number SCHU6706. I got them from Amain Hobbies, they are about $20 a pair.
@@AddamsPlayground ah OK so they were just after market then? They look like they will perform well!
The truck came out awesome. Did you fab the lower splash guard that mounts to the chassis ?
No, the side guards came from Team Blue Groove. If I were paying attention they offer everything as a set so you get the body, the number plates and the side guards all in one package. However I ordered the body alone and then realized they other parts were needed so I had to order them separately. TBG has a ton of reproduction bodies and I have gotten quite a few from them over the last few years. Great stuff, much thicker than the vintage shells are so they hold up a lot better!
@@AddamsPlayground Before they were available I literally brought a truck just for those
Looks really cool !!! Nice one man 🔥
Thanks! It turned out looking really great in the black paint scheme, it is very flashy looking! I am sure it will look great running around out side too!
Good looking truck.
Thanks Rick! It turned out looking very nice in the black! I just need to stumble across a set pair of those rear wheels at some point. Until then it rocks the spokes back there!
