The RC Pit-Stop - EP15 - Asiatees Rival upgrades & New Look
I know this is a very long video, but there was a lot to cover off and I thought it would be somewhat educational to show some of the newbies to the hobby just what's involved when you're not doing back-flips, speed-runs, racing or just having some general fun driving your RCs in the park. So, apologies for making this one a bit long, but I'm sure you'll agree, there's plenty of info and "how-to" in this video that a lot of people may find useful.
OK, so here the Rival gets a final dose of upgrades and a couple of changes to hopefully complete it's full transformation to a true "Back flipping Beast of AWESOMENESS". This thing is just on another level, now, and I don't own another RC that even comes close to this truck. My ST4 G3 was number 1 for a long time, but this Beast is now the King of my fleet. And rightfully so. With about $1200 invested into this RC, it has no excuse not to be that good!!
