The Thrill of Test Day: A Mr2's Wild Ride

We're always here so we just keep coming back, we'll get it yeah we'll get this thing down, i appreciate you coming out and yeah trying to help me dial this thing in and next week we'll try again, yeah we'll go through it and i'll come right back out get that bar on there get some more weight hung on the nose get get more weight further out, we'll add even more than what we tried almost took the trim piece off with it hit so hard it almost man, i don't i don't even know what to say, i think this tire needs checked out too, the tire hit pretty good yeah dude defender look how far down the fender came onto the tire did you do this oh yeah i did it does that when it does big wheelies they did that before yeah so that's where the camber was and that's yep yeah i just i just pushed those out that's nothing that's what it did actually the first time in arizona it did it to both of them because i didn't have them super tight yeah so yeah we're good on that then damage isn't too bad look at this look at the cords right here, i mean he took the top of the letters off yeah look all the way down to the race master that's how far down the fender goes it's the side of the board yeah i'm gonna get all new tires for this thing man time to get this thing loaded up and we're done for today.

Guys that's all we can do man, that was insane. I gotta keep looking at this bumper guys look at that, i really hope we got a good shot of that freaking thawing in your footsteps man everything i touch you that goes fast or goes does the wheel neither goes faster goes to the moon so we did bring the side kick down with us we actually had some friends visiting and they had some friends in the bradenton area so we let them borrow this while we were down and it looks like there is another samurai tracker sidekick over here at the test day and that thing looks freaking gnarly. Like yo you want to run them guys check this thing out, it is a rotary samurai yeah damn three pedals too, this thing is sweet dude oh dang that is so cool 13b i've seen you guys in the comments that's definitely an option in our head right now and that is really cool.

Thanks for letting me see it well guys that is going to do it for this video we just made it back to the house got the mr2 right here obviously we're gonna have to look over the car before we bring it back to the track again it needs some new tires because things were rubbing the front tires got hit hard from the fenders but man i was not expecting today to go like that at all did a massive wheelie in the car, i'm pretty sure that's the biggest wheelie an mr2 has done i know there are other mr2s out there that have done pretty massive wheelies but i don't know i think that one might take the cake it was literally all four tires off the ground on the back bumper onto the parachute mount this thing was trying to fly away and yeah that was that, that's just what went down today boys so freaking hope you guys enjoyed it regardless we obviously have some more changes to make but that's why it's nice we're down here we can uh get everything patched up get it fixed up and ready to go again and we'll be right back at the track test and trying to better our times but today did not go as planned but anyways i hope you guys enjoyed and we'll see you later.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys right now we are at a place called superior auto repair and we have the mr2 over here for an alignment because after we put those tubular rear control arms on the back of this thing the back tires are a little off they do race car stuff over here as well they have like a almost looks like a freaking pro mod over there so these guys know what they're doing they've dealt with race cars i was originally going to bring the car just to your average shop for an alignment but i wanted to bring it somewhere where they knew what they were doing so we're gonna get her all squared away here and then today we will be bringing the mr2 to the track and seeing if we can dial this thing in a little bit more all right the mr2 is all good to go the alignment is done i actually dropped the car off over here while i went to go fill up some gas jugs and get some food and stuff like that but they just got her finished up they said the back was definitely pretty out of whack but they got all that straightened up we actually did leave a good amount of camber in the rear just so that when this thing does squat it doesn't rub as bad on this inner fender well right here we need to really trim some of this metal out from inside of there and roll the back fenders this slick is fine on this side but this one definitely was rubbing a little bit so we just want to try to keep that from happening so we left the camber in there so we don't rub and you know possibly pop a tire so that's something to do in the future and then we can straighten those tires back out and we'll gain a little bit more contact patch that way but right now traction is not an issue with the mr2 our issue is the wheelies so we got her all ready to go gonna load it back up and head to the track well we just made it to the track we have the mr2 right here right now james is under there getting these weights installed so these are the uh lead weights he was talking about in the last video these are almost 20 pounds a piece got all kinds of race car noises going on today but we're just drilling a couple holes in the radiator support so we can mount those guys up as far forward as possible and uh hopefully help with our wheelie issue here track's definitely on kill every car i've seen that usually goes a to b has been trying to flip over back one so we definitely have a good track today air is really good something we already have a problem with something something it does on a bad track so knowing the tracks really good if we can get the wheelie out of it now we know it's going to be good that everyone gets hanging yeah first pass of the day we are not running the sandbags in the car i didn't show the weight down if you want to get up under there so the weights me and james got on yeah they this morning threw on a couple of weight plate deals up front here so like you guys saw in the last video moving weight around to get the bias a little bit better without having to carry so much weight yeah they're not they're not the prettiest they will be functional got the long bolt hanging off the bottom we're just experimenting don't have the sandbags in there i turned the limiter down on the launch so the issue with the cars we want to try to leave on as much power as we can but you know that doesn't always mean the way to go the fastest is to leave on everything you have it just doesn't always work like that so i realized the fastest 60 foot the car has ever done was actually when we had it in arizona and i didn't even have much weight in the front at all and that's when it did the best but the limiter was turned back down so with the new added weight in the very far front um i also pulled the limiter back down just a hair we're just gonna go from there see how it goes today yep so she's still on a kill tune we're still pretty tapped out on fuel power-wise this is about all it has in it literally so we need to get that mechanical pump on soon but like we said in the last video we have a lot of chassis things to improve and test out so we're gonna do that with the power we have because we still have a lot of time we can make up in this power level so oh those might be the weight bars i think those are the weight boxes can we walk up there we should probably go make sure that big block in the middle of the tracks is not the way yeah good job good job guys i wish we had down track footage of that one that one was on the bumper it was awful it like did the float thing damn you're you're rubbing the bad luck on him with the 240. i'm just trying to make everyone go fast you know a one five sixty yeah on the rear bumper a one five nine sixty four yeah the thing was about to go if that thing would stay down yeah i think we just need to uh put a line on the track you know and then like for those like top speed rc cars yes exactly the good thing about it in the front of that car is nothing's bent there's nothing up there that can break right and it's not very heavy up there so with any luck without all that there's nothing that can break that's like a bold statement well i mean the same like a japanese car you have a front engine car thin japanese sheet metal up there yeah but being a front end being rear engine when the front end comes up like that comes down there's no oil pan no transparent right mechanically besides drivetrain and not a ton of weight luckily um we should we should go check he probably he probably should himself the weight bars we're definitely gonna need those back because uh we're gonna need those a in this hand bounced around like they weighed nothing oh my god we're like 21 pounds that was rough that might be the biggest view he's ever done even that might have beat the tucson wheelie oh yeah it's a very discerning look we should have left the sandbags in there dude that thing was on the bumper dude i don't know we might be done there brother 159 on the back tire like on the bumper damn it left good like it left and it just picked them up a little bit and i was like oh this is going to be fast and it starts to wheel and i hear grabbed second and it really really i really tried to let it down gently but there was no stopping that i'm following in your footsteps i just told him that i was like the 240 curse is alive and well in this one yeah dude you are on the bumper that's the new that's the highest it's ever been i said that i wish we had a downtrend but wait do you see that all four tires were off the ground like that they went straight up i was like i came down i didn't even say anything for a little bit i'm just like radiator does not look happy no oh lordy something's messed up in the front end this thing's got some nice camber now i think the wheels i think we might be done there boys you want to straighten the wheel out kyle i want to check this camber yeah that tire's got a little more camber than it did dude look at that that is rubber off of the track oh my god i feel so bad brother that thing went so high i literally i think i caught the edge of my tongue too it kind of bit my tongue coming yeah so those weight boxes hit this corner pretty good too and somebody sent kyle a mouth protector it hit before yeah no we just showed that you could have seen it oh look at that yeah it's it's we got the new track scraper to defend the tow hook yeah bent the tow hook skirt the track and it's crazy look it's great with your dust shield race track on your duck shield yeah that was a little wild ride the let's try things so what have we learned today i mean that was literally as hard as it could probably ever slam and now we know that that's as bad as it's gonna get the shock towers look fine though yeah yeah we didn't we didn't blow the struts through the towers it's not leaking so who needs a new radiator yet doesn't leak right here oh yeah it's like detached and it's kind of rolled a little bit it's kind of dark on the camera but yeah yeah solid testament to about good job mishimoto the radiator held um there there's a piece of racetrack underneath the radiator in between the core support and the radiator there's a piece of rubber that's exactly what i did not want to do i don't know that's a good thing about aluminum the aluminum just bands it said it breaks well there goes that alignment i got a mobile guy there the bat should still be in line the front the front might need a little tweaking yeah but i got a i got a mobile guy it's really good fenders so the the launch was still see but that's not in the launch that's that's completely it's out there in second gear see that's what i'm honestly really scared about it's like one day if like like not even for me but like the day these things get real fast and some guy comes out with like a 1400 horse one they do that but like grabbing third or something in their way out at the end of it transfers it gets like this on the tire and it looks really good if it just stay there and then fall instead of grabbing second going up it'd be fast like it's finding out what the car needs to get it to not do that it like hits that that crank center line position and stays there and when it stays stationary you grab second all it does is ratios the power and harder so it just goes yeah and it just fine line you weren't lying that the track was on kill today break dude did we get a close-up on this look at the rear bumper the the first big wheelie we did in arizona it actually didn't hit the bumper this time it it actually hit the back bumper all four tires came off the ground that time look at that this track it hit the parachute mount yeah i was figuring it out this is yeah if you didn't have a parachute there's a good chance it would have went like this like off to the one side that was my wheelie bar yeah hey you know how we had that discussion about wheelie bars maybe we should just put some wheelie bars on it i don't know simpson made a wheelie bar wonder dang and dude not the hell yeah brothers it's all the blame the tire dude it's this tire i mean i did it over there with cleator he did say they were the eight second slicks and he wasn't wrong we got that out of the way but i didn't know they were also the send it to the moon slicks too big for today boys at least i hope it looks sick but that was not what we were trying to do whatsoever uh we're gonna have to call it there the back tire's losing air and i don't know how well we showed this but the radiator literally got bent right here the weights pushed up on that and bent it doesn't appear to be cracked or anything so we're all good there we just gave the front end a good look over no major damage overall luckily um but that was definitely a hard hit center real hard that time but um we'll be back now we know we need to do for the next time yeah that's why we come out here to test i mean it's got the power to go so we just got to get the power to stay car to stay down yeah real fast good thing is we're in florida and we're racing around here good air is here for us good track is here the track is always here so we just keep coming back we'll get it yeah we'll get this thing down i appreciate you coming out and yeah trying to help me dial this thing in and next week we'll try again yeah we'll go through it and i'll come right back out get that bar on there get some more weight hung on the nose get get more weight further out we'll add even more than what we tried almost took the trim piece off with it hit so hard it almost man i don't i don't even know what to say i think this tire needs checked out too the tire hit pretty good yeah dude defender look how far down the fender came onto the tire did you do this oh yeah i did it does that when it does big wheelies they did that before yeah so that's where the camber was and that's yep yeah i just i just pushed those out that's nothing that's what it did actually the first time in arizona it did it to both of them because i didn't have them super tight yeah so yeah we're good on that then damage isn't too bad look at this look at the cords right here i mean he took the top of the letters off yeah look all the way down to the race master that's how far down the fender goes it's the side of the board yeah i'm gonna get all new tires for this thing man time to get this thing loaded up and we're done for today guys that's all we can do man that was insane i gotta keep looking at this bumper guys look at that i really hope we got a good shot of that freaking thawing in your footsteps man everything i touch you that goes fast or goes does the wheel neither goes faster goes to the moon so we did bring the side kick down with us we actually had some friends visiting and they had some friends in the bradenton area so we let them borrow this while we were down and it looks like there is another samurai tracker sidekick over here at the test day and that thing looks freaking gnarly like yo you want to run them guys check this thing out it is a rotary samurai yeah damn three pedals too this thing is sweet dude oh dang that is so cool 13b i've seen you guys in the comments that's definitely an option in our head right now and that is really cool thanks for letting me see it well guys that is going to do it for this video we just made it back to the house got the mr2 right here obviously we're gonna have to look over the car before we bring it back to the track again it needs some new tires because things were rubbing the front tires got hit hard from the fenders but man i was not expecting today to go like that at all did a massive wheelie in the car i'm pretty sure that's the biggest wheelie an mr2 has done i know there are other mr2s out there that have done pretty massive wheelies but i don't know i think that one might take the cake it was literally all four tires off the ground on the back bumper onto the parachute mount this thing was trying to fly away and yeah that was that was insane to be fair james said i probably should have left at least one of the sandbags in just so we know we have the same weight we were using before but some of that weight would just be moved forward and more efficient but i just wanted to see what it would do just with the added weights because i know the car has done good without any of the sandbags and without any weight in the nose before so i was trying to kind of replicate that that's when we did our best 60 foot was actually with no weight in the front of the car and it really wasn't on the launch that was the issue it got out good and then the second i hit second gear it just instantly snapped up i had zero time to react normally when i go into second gear in the car and it's in a wheelie already i can kind of ride it out it actually kind of settles the car when i go to second gear and it starts to lower it back down because it's harder to keep the nose of the car up with you know that higher gearing but not in this case it just it just went right up and i was like oh my gosh i did not expect it to do that that's just what went down today boys so freaking hope you guys enjoyed it regardless we obviously have some more changes to make but that's why it's nice we're down here we can uh get everything patched up get it fixed up and ready to go again and we'll be right back at the track test and trying to better our times but today did not go as planned but anyways i hope you guys enjoyed and we'll see you later youwhat's up guys right now we are at a place called
