r/c flips itself back onto it's wheels

[_paralyzed_]

This is posted in the brushless section by chainsaw10. I'm sorry for the repost, but this sub-forum gets more traffic and this video is too cool to miss. It seems he has found the ultimate bashing setup!

Thats ace :) I can get my MMM'd summit back upright by locking the front diff & spinning it on its roof til it gets rubber side down,but not always, & it don't look as cool as that .

Cool truck, now we need details.

It's a Thunder Tiger MT4 G3. Basically the old ST-1 platform but brushless. Some differences but the nechanicals are pretty much identical. I have a MT4 and it is am awesome truck (although some refuse to call it anything other than a truggy because it runs a CD). Beats my Fluxes hands down in just about every way.

I can also do the flip thing to right the truck onto it's wheels with the stock body (just) but running the Proline Baja Bug body like Chainsaw has would make it a lot easier. Also bigger and heavier wheels would help there too. I agree with paralyzed that this is the ultimate bashing setup but it also a ultimate bashing truck. I have not yet brought back home either of my Fluxes in one piece after a bash session and i have spent hundreds on both of them. The MT4 has been punished every time I have taken it out and in about 12 outings I am yet to break something. Sure the body is pretty much screwed but it's still sort of holding together. The only thing this truck needs out of the box is a bit of Loctite. Particularly the pinion likes to come off the motor but everywhere else anything screws into alloy would be a good idea too. If you like wheelies or standing backflips then put something like 100K oil in the CD but other than that the truck is ready to have the snot beat out of it.
