Hey YouTubers, Mike Martins here! Today we’re in the garage getting an absolute MONSTER of an RC car ready for a big race this weekend.
This isn’t your average little remote-control car. We’re working on a massive FG gas-powered monster truck, going through everything after it has been parked for around two years. We’re checking the tire pressures, looking over the exhaust, hooking up the trickle charger, checking the controls and making sure everything is ready before we finally let this thing loose again.
We also had some repairs to deal with. One of the lower control arms had broken, so the wheel had to come off and everything had to be readjusted. We’re checking the suspension, wheelie bar and the rest of the setup before taking it out.
And this thing has some serious history.
Mike says that with its original stock motor, this RC machine had previously reached around 262 km/h. Now it has a rebuilt and upgraded race motor, so we don’t even know what its potential top speed is going to be until we get proper speed-measuring equipment and put it to the test.
The scale of this thing is hard to appreciate on camera. It’s HUGE. When you put a hand beside the engine components, you start realizing this is nothing like the little electric RC cars most people think about when they hear “remote control.”
We’re hoping to get it out this weekend, do some runs, maybe some burnouts and hopefully put on a good SMOKE SHOW!
But that’s not all.
We’re also talking about getting into RC airplanes and possibly starting a local flying club around Merritt. There are already plenty of planes around that need some work, and having experienced people around gives me a chance to learn how to fly these things properly.
This could become a whole new hobby and a whole new series on the channel.
If you’re around Merritt, British Columbia and you're into RC cars, monster trucks or airplanes, leave a comment. Maybe we can eventually get a group together and turn this into something bigger.
