Dude this video just made my day. To go from a breakage without any parts available to 3rd place? Holy cow. I’ve never been interested in RC racing, just a basher. But this vid makes me wanna race. Or at least pit crew for somebody. Just love the camaraderie shown here. And nitro lives! So rad. Congrats on 3rd Mark, love your videos.

[manski]

WoW, all that hard work on the Jato, then breaks down and the good people around that helped you and finished 3rd is amazing. When you have good people in a network of people that also enjoy your hobby is awesome. Great job Mark, congrats.

Great hanging in there & not giving up, really paid off in the end & congrats on a well deserved podium spot, love the team camaraderie coming together to save the day & build you a new piece from scratch, love it, great vid as always, salamat Mark :)

[janchristensen]

Congratulations Mark and Ethan. Great team work.

[ericcastaneda]

That's awesome Mark, shout out the MSM crew for getting you back in the rac.

[johnwisniewski]

Man dude, good call on adding extra fuel tubing. You are the G.O.A.T. of the rc community sir.

This was my first big race apart from the first MSM Spec Slash 2.0 race at Indy awhile back, where I drove the yellow and blue truck you can see at the bottom left at 2:08 . Since then it has received an LCG conversion and a few CNC aluminum parts by Cobra Racing, and can now apparently ride with the big guys in their fancy Teknos and not get completely obliterated, which is pretty crazy to me. I finished 3rd in the C main after some really close and fun battles, but I’m not complaining. That means that bashing-designed Traxxas can compete with at least 7 actual dedicated race trucks. I was about 2-3 laps off the pace of the fastest guys in 4WD SC, so i still have some work to do to get it all the way up there! That gas truck AMain was so fun to watch but I couldn’t imagine driving in it, that had to be so dang hard. If you’re wondering how Mark got into the A when he qualified last, I’m pretty sure they combined the mains because there were 10 trucks that started the A. My 4wd Slash responded so well to some rough guesswork for tuning and upgrades that I didn’t even have to change the setup once I set it, without even driving. Based on this, it seems like a really good beginner/budget truck to run in novice or run what you brung, or even open 4wd SC like I did if your scene isn’t super competitive. Do get the LCG version or convert it if you have an HCG, mine lapped pretty slow with the HCG. GTR shocks are mandatory, or at least something that isn’t those crappy GTM ones, in the only race I ran them in, a different shock cap on a different shock popped of on EVERY HEAT I was in. Just don’t even bother, they’re trash. I run 3S on stock Traxxas VXL stuff, but have plans for a race spec 4S system. If your setup doesn’t work, there’s a great forum thread by Razor RC detailing everything you need to know about tuning that truck, just look up Slash 4x4 setup sheet or something.

Thats awesome coming together like that to get it done! Thats what makes the hobby great!

[souduremolloy]

Nice race Mark congratulations smooth opperater 🤟

[ninthislandrc]

It's times like this when the old, "When it rains, it pours", saying comes to mind. Thankfully, there's always "another day".

[joshcoker]

Awesome race, love the jato race truck, super bad, glad you got to race the main. Got to figure out a way to increase fuel mileage for the next one. Thanks for taking us along on your journey!!!

[jeremywilliamsrc]

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen, had me on the edge of my seat! Nice to see a bunch of nitro stadium trucks together, congrats on the 3rd place!

[kentuckyrc]

Dude I love this. So badass that you all came together to make that c block! That's my favorite thing about this hobby is just exactly things like that. Making due in situations when needed. It's very satisfying. Love the videos man! We got to go to Texas for vacation this past summer and I went to the Traxxas store. Was curious if I would run into you haha! Thanks for the great content! Take care!

[jerrymccartney]

Congrats, fantastic 2wd nitro truck content. I always had a blast in that class.

[tuisautaleilua]

He'll yeah MSMRC for the 3rd is awesome and was all down to the lads, fabrication skills, respect from Gisborne, New Zealsnd

[dirk]

I love this kind of series, build transform rebuild and race, great videos.

[justinwright]

Perfect example of an outstanding community.

[MrThatguy]

Mark, Just remember a bad day of RC is still better than a good day at work...

[darylbates]

Way to go Mark and Ethan !!!! Never quit.

[wolf]

That was one of my favorite races ever, and my truck only lasted a little over 20 minutes of the hour long final before I melted down the only spur gear I had (too greedy with the slipper..😢). Was great running with ya for fornthe few minutes we shared sections of the track before that happened though! I'm gonna pretend me showing up to talk to ya inspired you to go fabbing up a new C block with Team MSM. 😂 We definitely need to race with each other again in 2wd Gas Truck!
