Are replacement parts easily available and is there a customer support center that I can rely on to help me should I need it, just asking.

Legal! Mas tinha que ter mostrado na prática!

What a great video. I was into RC back in the late 1980s. Tamiya, Kyosho, Bolink, Team Associated, Losi, etc. This video brings back memories.

1:25 I still remember building my Tamiya Hotshot back in the 80s with my dad. I don't think my memories would be nearly as fond if he bought me a pre-assembled car.

Torque is not power ! With friendship and respect, please read your school physics textbook ! Torque is rotational force, power is the rate of use of energy !

But a dc engine in that batch. Wheelie bar.

I love modern power and durability but man I loved the 80s rc cars. I had a Kyosho Mid in 90 and now the Rere. Kyosho really nailed it updating the Legendary cars for modern tech!! I'll buy them all

Well, joking aside, where are the good RC cars? I've only seen brand snobbery and crappy stuff.

Gosh LIPOS are like a pmsing teenager 😂

Frog Forever, busting diffs and kickin ass. lol.

Are those parts for the AE B74.1 compatible with the B7 2wd?

Brett dude you are looking phenomenal!!! Good for you bro!

How do i fix squeaky shocks 🤔

Oh thats a big “Made in China” but why this car still expensive in China ! Jesus

why'd you weigh them without the battery though :-s you made a point of mentioning that the battery was moved back further to shift more weight back, but then didn't show the effect :(

One of Craziest RC I ever seen ! I love it $1000 not cheap.

New to the hobby myself. Just purchased a new balance charger and wanted to know the what and what on LiPos. Found this video and it was exactly the breakdown I was looking for to explain when and how to use the functions on my charger. Highly educational. Thank you!

Hmmm... I see that with a cockpit FPV camera, on a servo controlled 180 degree swivel. Use a channel for a head tracking gyro setup. That way, I can see where the car is actually going which isn't terribly straight ahead. LOL

can someone tell me the size of the battery compartment... I can't find any information anywhere. Thanks

“Com drops”

OMG, what a great video to take me down nostalgia lane. I started with RC in the 80's - started with Tamiya grasshopper, then Marui Big Bear, then Tamiya Blackfoot, then Clodbuster, then Supershot. I remember those Tower hobby catalogues. I would mow lawn and save up money just to buy one of those models. I loved putting them together. Thank you for bringing back fond memories!

I’ll never forget, the “Baja Bandit”…..was a game changer with its 9.6v battery. It was the 1st RC car (I’ve ever had) to pull a wheelie from a dead stop..

Nvr had hobby grade, growing up. But getting my hands on a classic nitro truck. I don't even care about the new electric ones.

Mine has proven to be more agile and durable than any Traxxas or Arrma. And more fun to drive. It happens that people still have bad memories of the first versions in their heads, in addition to the fact that many are worshipers of their favorite brand and do not dare to try different and really good things. They only care that the model is expensive and large.

I was about 9 or 10 when I got into the hobby when I found my dads 80's Tamiya RC car in the closet... It had been there for a long time because he could not figured out how to fix it, so one day i busted that thing out of the closet and took the entire thing apart to better understand it and then figured out how to fix it... My dad was really impressed, so he took me right down to the hobby shop and bought me a Team Associated RC10T, and later on bought me a Team Losi XXT kit that I built from scratch. It was such an amazing hobby to grow up with in the early 90's. 🙂

Would be nice to have more nitro videos!!

I was born in 1980, and had the first contact with rc in 87, when my father started with rc airplanes. Years after, started with cars, motorcycles, everything that could run... the price, was prohibitive... you usually ended up having someone to teach you because you'd spend years saving money so you could buy anything... you'd never start flying alone, like everyone does today with drones... giros to stabilize the airplanes? nah... you had to make it perfectly straight or else... but today you have a big advantage: 3d printers and laser cutters very afordable! if you want to do something really custom and fine tune it, its easier. however... there aren't many persons of this new generations who are interested on rc or even static models building... and that's the true loss: only us, the "old timers", still enjoy and feel like a kid when we see something new!

Assembling your own stuff was better because it gave you more reasons to be proud of your stuff. You remembered every scuff and ding that you fixed. You desperately hoped that your chassis patch of fiberglass and epoxy would hold. You mowed a lot of lawns to buy things which gave it value. Modern RC is far better value and much better performing, but it's too cheap to matter. You don't have to build it. There's no reason to take a burned out 540 apart and see if you can clean up the commutator because brushless motors are so good. There's nothing to craft and balance. In the past, the functioning existence of your beat up kit car clearly was YOUR car because you had made profound associations with it. Now, your toy is yours only because you paid some generic dollars to buy it. If the associations between you and your doodads are weak, they cannot compete with the alluring temptations of very vivid video games and your smartphone.

old RC was better because you had to assemble the whole thing from piles of parts. made you appreciate it more. also taught me alot about how suspensions worked, how differentials worked, etc. the stuff transfers to real cars.

Where's the nitro?

My first job was at an old school hobby shop. It was awesome to spend the shift working on and tuning nitro cars/trucks, selling parts, etc. Sundays were always slow, so we'd get to hand out, order lunch, and watch movies.

Why am I just now hearing about this? I currently have all Traxxas vehicles and while I don’t mind the Traxxas connector, I don’t like being locked into Traxxas batteries. I do have some Texas connector I can install on other batteries but then I lose the smart functionality which I really want to keep! I think imma have to look into this stuff because this looks like it mostly solves all my issues.

I've always wanted the 93 worlds edition but I missed out on the re-release, and on eBay they're going for so much money. is it possible to get the new 40th anniversary edition, and upgrade it with worlds parts? and if so, which company does them?

Awesome video!!

❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊. ไฟแอดพ์. ???

I have 3 chassis’s and 7 bodies, still tuning all 3

1:33 building an RC car with awful instructions was life changing for me. Today I have the skills to problem solve

Everything needed a lot of maintenance and care to operate correctly, and when you put in the work it made a huge difference to the performance and your satisfaction. My god did that translate as an adult. In fact, this single observation explains younger gens to a tea.

back in the day u had to LEARN nowdays theres soo many dumbos ,,first thing they think is to jump on the internet and ask instead of trying to work it out first. o the satisfaction of fixing ur own stuff . uuhg people nowdays cant even drive stick ,,,let me off the planet i wanna die now

nowdays theres a lack of critical thinking people. lack of common sense. lack of mechanical skills. also wheres all the motorheads? a man in my day tinkered with an engine.....a real car,bike boat,,r/c car boat plane something. i enjoy the roar of an engine. the electric motor seems very lady like to me ,,all quiet and whistly lol idk a it seems allot of men these days are soo effeminate too ,,not really the base of the issue with r/c just an observation

You lost a lot of weight.

what the ... I didnt knew ANY adults who had an RC car, we where kids and WE had them. NOT exclusive only adults and a little group.. nope.. kids had them, and ALL the kids had one in our "hood" - a FEW had some very fast cars, but the rest of us, just regular RC cars to play with.

couldn't decide which one to buy, so i bought both!

"Basher Brands" need to stop. They're not selling because a lot of people don't even know what they are or who they are manufactured by. If they just said HPI on the box and then called it a "Basher Series" or something, it would be much better. There's honestly zero reason to change brands other than making the suits happy. It does nothing for the hobby itself. You can still sort and catalog your product by UPC and such without alienating and confusing the customer. I like HPI, I've owned quite a few, but there's no reason to rebrand.

Looks great just might have to pick one up

Good review. Respect for full disclosure (your side) of the history from version 1. Sad reaction from HPI. Shameful even. Good on HPI / Maverick for improving, and offering version 2. This truck looks like an excellent entry model. Have a couple Maverick brand... they're no top-tier racer, but they're sturdy, and parts are plentiful.

i think its fine to show the faults of a car to warn people, whats not ok is for brands to keep these things secret and waste peoples money

I always want to know every detail , lol .

Can't wait for some Maxx and Xmaxx sized tires! I want to get away from Proline and their thin rims that Crack easily.

That looked like a LOT of fun running that around and pushing it through its paces! Thanks for sharing.
