Are you promoting someone else's energy drink?

Thanks for the pics! Really does need to be next to something to get a good idea of the size, that helps a lot.

Looks choice!

That's older video, it has the offroad section finished...
But the truck looks good in Yellow, my favourite colour... The Yellow Beadlocks will make it even more Sick!... Great Job on the truck man, I'm glad you're having a hell of a good time with it.. Now we're still waiting for a video from you and Kaz...

Once I sell some stuff off to make room, I'll be doing a TT like yours.. I've already ordered some big tires and adapters to make my firehammer MT use the same tires as the Rampage MT... Those tires grip really well and are HUGE.. the firehammer lacks weight on the wheels, so these big babies will help out for sure...

that track looks fun. i have yet to drive a baja but they always look like so much fun in videos. i want to get one this winter and i am torn. i want to convert it but i also want to run it gas since i have never tried a gas rc before. what do think aqwut? you have both now. which do you think is more fun for you? your brushless ramp or your gas 1/5s?

so are you getting another TT and a baja? you have mentioned converting a baja using a 2230. which do you think you will do first?

i knew someone would say that about the energy drink.

i didnt want to use the wrap for that reason but i dont have any FC wraps or stickers yet. We have designed some sticker but need to print still. I have 200k cans in a warehouse waiting to be filled with the drink. All the ingredients have come in and now we are just waiting for some big wig to fly in to oversee this first production run since it will be for public consumption. So the energy drink is still in the works and i really want to sponosor as much RC as possible. I have already talked with the guys that run a major RC event here in the west (dont want to say which one until its official) about sponsoring the event next year and as long as everything is ready to go it should be on. Anyway, i am committin adultery with this Rockstar wrap. oh well.

Does FC taste nice, comparable to Relentless?

never heard of Relentless. Fighting Cock tastes great. in blind taste tests 4 out of 5 people chose it as the best tasting over Monster, Rockstar, RedBull, and Full Throttle. it is similar to all of them though. it has that "pharmaceutical" energy drink signature flavor. hopefully soon you will be able to order some off our website or through amazon.com and try it for yourself.

"Fighting Cock: For guys with big swingin'........fists"

we have a few other slogans and tag lines that are fun like that. Our website is gonna have something called "Cock TV" where drinkers can post their own viral videos or anything that promots FC and can win free FC. We really want to have fun with it but the process has been slow going and i wish we could get the produciton plant to step on it.

back to the truck:

today is a brisk 50* outside since this coldfront has moved in. i took the truck to the golf course and bashed it good and hard. after about 20 minutes i checked temps and motor was 99* and esc was 74*. absolutely beautiful! tonight we are shooting some vid and then after some editing should have the video up shortly.

Ryu James · 05:30 AM

so tonight at the track was fun but not as fun as shredding the golf course but we did get some vid tonight. will be posted soon. it was very cold tonight and i took one tumble and my body shattered. there's a $120 down the tube. and the track was very muddy due to yesterdays rain. needless to say we had to play in it.

Unsullied_Spy · 10.02.2009, 03:52 AM

Very nice! I bet those Hostiles hooked up like mad on that surface, too.

brushlessboy16 · 10.02.2009, 07:03 AM

Now thats what I call a good time!

aqwut · 10.02.2009, 10:30 AM

Awesome Ryan we will see some videos tonight. Woohoo

redshift · 10.02.2009, 11:08 AM

Sucks about the body... and you have some cleaning to do, I can hear the crunchiness from here!

Maybe a clear trashbag would be a good idea next time lol.

kulangflow · 10.02.2009, 04:02 PM

Video is on its way. YouTube killed the audio, so its pending an AudioSwap right now. It's still processing the HD as well, but it should be available soon enough I'd think.

For now, here's a few still shots captured off the video:

$120 for a 1/5 body shell?... **faints**

Hands up who wants to buy a vacuum former and a big block of mdf & tube of polyfilla to start making their own?

kulangflow · 10.02.2009, 08:22 PM

Video is up!

Unfortunately, YouTube audioswap killed the beautiful brushless sounds, but you can just imagine them. lol

dude, i know! its nutz! and that is the cheap one. it was $120 for body and the wrap but for the 5t bodies they are $240. after paint and wrap you are at $300 for the frickin' body. its a little disconcerting to say the least. and the tires are the same. for tires, wheels, and beadlocks you are looking at a good $175 or so. i guess thats the price you pay for bigger toys.
