Cant really bitch about the the price, quality parts and build and comes with one of the best RTR radios thats offered with any RC. Love their products and hoping to pick one up if overtime keeps rolling at work 👍
Crawlers and trail buggies are not really my kind of thing within the RC hobby. It does look nice but £400 seems pricey for something with a cheap ESC, servo and motor in it. I can't help feeling you'd have a ton more fun with an Arrma Senton 3S BLX and it is £40 cheaper. I'm maybe missing the point though with these things.
Crawling & trailing is all about being in a beautiful landscape & the technical, considered & mindful process of navigating incredibly challenging terrain. It's very calming & relaxing! And that doesn't necessarily mean it's any cheaper than the high octane adrenaline rush stuff.
@@MrGoat73 Each to their own. I have over 25 different RC cars from vintage buggies, indoor racers, bashers and triple digit MPH speed run cars. But I've never felt compelled to give this genre a try. I do like the look of this buggy but for me £400 is too much for what you get. I have cars that cost well over £750 but they are good value for what you are getting. It's the same reason I wouldn't pay £500 for a Tamiya Egress. I like Tamiya but you can buy an FTX SupaForza for that money. Like drifting, I consider crawling and trailing a very niche part of the hobby for a certain type of RC enthusiast. And that's cool.
I was talking to craig over at rctnt about one day they'll come out with true rack and pinion steering for R/C along with electromagnetic. Seems they are on their way with the steering setup on this. Think a series of electro magnets on a cylindrical housing with associated magnets on the shaft.......think of a maglev train only it moves the rack instead of the vehicle.
Hello mate. That is the correct address. Royal Mail messed up, I wasn't in when they tried to deliver and I organised for it to be left at the post office, but they didn't update my request and when I finally got through to them, they told me it got returned. I put a complaint in, not that they will do anything! If you want to send it again, if you could send me an email (it's on my about page) just to let me know, I'll then be ready to intercept it! Appreciate you sending me something :)
Thanks for your reply. I'll send it again, no problem. Great video, I spy some Shadowfoam? Johna (the owner) is my brother in law I can put you 2 in touch if you ever want a collaboration 😉
@@maciejajewski Thank you 🙂. I've used Shadowfoam on my small studio tool kit, so thought I'd get some bigger stuff for my big new roller cab. I used to be in charge of all the Aircraft Tooling for multiple RAF Squadrons. We used to use a similar system with different foam. So it's like home from home haha.
@@TomleyRC I bet it would have been great to have some Shadowfoam back than 😁 Johna did collaboration with likes of Colin fuze and few other youtubers I think it would be great to see you 2 in a video you'd be like 2 peas in a pod haha
I might need to do a Google search, find that spot, and buy a plane ticket to the UK! How perfect for this rig! What camera did you use for the under-chassis shots?! Assuming it's not a trade secret, that is.
Alex kowaliuk here,I didn't get the opening scene my first thought was shit yourself but you look healthy.thats what I might say is look down and say oh balls.
That crawling location is so gorgeous I want to get one of these just so I can go find places like that. Btw I think your intro graphic was just black screen.
Nice buggy, but expensive @ $499 you'd be better off with the FTX Ravine or Mauler at that price almost TRX 4 money.😂😂😂 P.S. I love my crawlers two TRX4'S and an RGT 10th scale too.
This is the first video of yours, that finally piqued my interest, and made me think and question that maybe I am missing something by ruling out All Trail and Crawler vehicles. Having always been into the speedier variety, whether it be On or Off Road. But at £400 do I continue support with buying Raffall Tickets? Or save for a few months and get this, although i would like it to be a little faster lol. But genuinely do not know how much actual use i would get, And also looking at it, would love to have a go building one for myself, Maybe using some brass tubing to make some kind of sub/frame etc, But i have zero experience building one, although i am quite technically minded. Decisions Decisions haha, Wish we had some clubs like you go to, closer to home, then maybe have a day/evening out asking the experts, Although i do hate the thought of turning up to one, only to find out they're nowt more than a clique stuck up bunch of a-holes, Whose excrement does not stink, and who look down on the beginners. Refusing to answer any questions etc etc, Like the last one i went to a few years back, actually discouraging me from getting back into the hobby after 30 years, until i started watching you and Kev on YT. And taking the plunge, finally enjoying the hobby once again. So thanks for that :)
There's so much choice in rc you can do anything you want, if you don't like something, sell it and something else. Brilliant hobby, love it all, or most of it.😊😊😊😊😊
Side by side test against that rc4wd buggy , i think people would stop crying about the $$ i mean even your best fms wont compare . The worst part is usually the stock electronics, and leaky shocks.. still stronger than a toy grade fms for sure.
