Cross RC BC8 MAMMOTH. THE BLACK RUSSIAN 

A 38 liter engine? I thought you were joking, did some research to find it has indeed got a V12 38.8Litre engine! I bet its as thirsty as hell!

@@TheGeezzer She sure is thirsty!!! But She is a Beast with the Heart of a Tank...

Thank you I'm glad you like it!

My pleasure! I'm glad you like it!

Thanks mate! I'll do my best to get it out and get a new video of it soon

She's definitely something else this thing! Glad you like it mate!

Thank you! Feel free to share! :)

Thank you for the comment Michael!! Really enjoyed it. I'm very happy to like my video!

Hi Michael! Diese Zeiten sind noch nicht vorbei: Sie werden keine jungen Russen mehr finden, die MAZ-537 Traktoren fahren, aber es gibt viele junge Yankees in deutschen Städten. Die Russen sind weg, und die Yankees wollen nicht in ihre Heimat jenseits des Ozeans zurückkehren. Und was macht Ihre Scholz-Regierung jetzt? Die Lieferung von Raketensystemen und Artillerie an die korrupte ukrainische Regierung verlängert nur den Krieg und erhöht die Zahl der Opfer unter der Zivilbevölkerung jeden Tag. Ich will nicht dem deutschen Volk die Schuld geben, denn Politiker sind nicht das ganze Volk, sondern nur ein Teil davon, aber ein vernünftiger Mensch würde niemals das brennende Haus seines Nachbarn löschen, indem er Benzin darüber gießt. Ich hoffe, Sie wissen, was ich meine. Ja, nur um Ihnen einen Einblick zu geben: Die Ukraine ist bankrott. Sie wird das Geld, das sie sich von westlichen Regierungen geliehen hat, niemals zurückzahlen. Es ist Ihr Steuergeld, Ihr Geld, und es ist weg. Ukrainische Politiker kaufen jetzt Immobilien in Monaco und der Schweiz. Ja, das ist das gleiche Kriegsgeld, das sie von den USA und Europa erhalten haben. Herzliche Grüße aus Weißrussland, wo diese Mammuts im MAZ-Autowerk noch immer zusammengebaut werden.

@@333dmg Danke für die Anwort! Das ist Ihre Meinung… Nicht meine Meinung…Was soll ich dazu sagen… Bei uns gibt es ein Sprichwort: „ Wer die Musik (die Band)bezahlt, bestimmt auch,was gespielt wird…“ Korruption? Euer Lukashenko ist doch auch nicht besser… Der ist doch Putin‘s bester Freund… Und in der Ukraine ist das sicher auch nicht anders… Hitler und Stalin haben sich im WW2 Polen geteilt… Geld kennt keine Grenzen… Und Putin träumt von einem Großrussland vom Atlantik bis zum Stillen Ozean… Stimmt doch, oder etwa nicht? Ich sage immer: Der Hamster sammelt im Herbst soviele Nüsse, wie er kriegen kann. Auch wenn er nur ein paar benötigt… Sein „Nachbar“ gibt er nicht eine einzige Nuss ab… Und der Mensch ist auch nicht anders… Der Mensch ist das schlimmste Raubtier auf diesem Planeten… Jetzt streiten sich Putin und Biden ( „Stellvertreter - Krieg“ heißt das in Deutschland) Und was macht China? China wird der lachende Dritte sein in diesem Spiel… Und das Volk? Die Russen? Die Ukrainer? Europa? Polen baut / kauft gerade Panzer in Südkorea…1000 Stück etwa sollen es werden… Wer bezahlt denn das? Der deutsche Steuerzahler,also mein Volk?Deutschland zahlt jedes Jahr ca 133.000.000.000€ an Brüssel , davon kriegt Polen allein ca 37.000.000.000€ jedes Jahr. Es gab in Deutschland noch nie soviele kaputte Straßen und Brücken wie heute… Deutschland bezahlt fast jede Rechnung in Europa… Und Polen baut /kauft Panzer. Mit deutschem Geld… MIT MEINEM GELD, sozusagen…In einem Krieg gibt es nur Verlierer… Das war schon immer so…

@@michaeltrilck5680 schön gesagt, obwohl ich nicht stark in der Politik bin. Hallo aus Sibirien.

@@призракпрошлого-ф7р Hallo,wie gehts dahinten tief im Osten? Ich bin auch kein Politiker… Ich kann auch nur 1 und 1 zusammen zählen und mir ein Bild machen… Eins ist Fakt: Politiker sind die Marionetten der Wirtschaft,der Konzerne… Und da kann man sich ja denken, wohin die Reise der Menschheit führt… VÖLLIG EGAL, wer da am Steuer ist, VÖLLIG EGAL welche Ideologie da erfunden wurde um die kleinen Menschen zu manipulieren… Wir kleinen Menschen MÜSSEN immer die Suppe auslöffeln, welche die großen Führer uns eingebrockt haben… Das war schon immer so… Solange es Menschen gibt…Zu etwas wirklich Gutem auf Dauer hat der Mensch seinen Verstand noch nie benutzt… Immer kam dann die Gier der Mächtigen und machte alles kaputt…

Thanks mate, all a part of the evil truck theme haha

Thanks mate. It's definitely very capable for the size of the thing, it weighs a whopping 40 pounds! Lol

Basically I like to push my truck harder than other people will push theirs so that they know it'll take it

Is the Mammoth worth the $1,500.00 is it unstoppable on a trail? And is the quality really there? I’m really close to purchasing one but I want to make sure that it is really as bad ass as it look. Every video I see is almost like a professional/commercial for advertising. I just want the real about the truck. Will it out trail a Summit or a Wraith?

Thanks mate!

Hell yeah it is! Haha

I'll do my best! And thank you! Feel free to share them to anywhere you think people would like to see them!

Thanks mate! These Cross trucks are seriously something else!

Thank you my friend! Feel free to share any of my videos!!

Y have the same Mammoth ✌️✌️💪👈🏿

Well done on a fantastic decision mate, these trucks are like no other! Arrived just in time too haha if you have any questions at all feel free to ask, always happy to help! And be sure to have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

@@burdon84 thank you sir! I will most likely take you up on that. Merry Christmas!!!

Quick question ... I noticed in one build log that the dashboard had a sticker for guages... I don't see that at all in my kit. Did your kit come with gauge decals? Thanks in advance!!!

It came with the decal, it should be there somewhere mate, maybe triple check everything. If you still can't find it, contact the shop you got it from and I'm sure they can get you a replacement

@@burdon84 thank you sir!!!

For what it is, it's crazy where it'll go. But remember firstly and foremost, it's a scale truck. It's not meant to go where your average scx10 style truck will go. Throughout my videos of this truck you'll see it go some pretty unreal places for a truck of its size and weight, not to mention the fact its a full hardbody truck lol

@@burdon84 thanks for you reply, I'm tempted, its either this or an RC4WD Beast II. I love the size and look of this. I also fancy getting the trailer for my TRX6 custom build. Thanks again subbed

@@jameslyons1978 If you bought both and ran them for a multi-stage trial side-by-side that would interest me immensely, yes. Just sayin’. ;)

@@JoeOvercoat bought the Beast ii. Its a big build as usual couldn't run it stock. Also bought a cross MC8. Will build these then tge beast and trailer over the coming 6 months. Wi stick it all on my channel 👍

Thanks mate! Everyone else painted them green, too boring for my liking lol

@@burdon84 I think black is about the most universally excellent colour for our hobby. Green is my fave colour for everyday things, but your truck is awesome and sinister, yet cool and authentic. Looks fun to drive, how do you like it? was it worth the $$$$? I'm sooooo tempted to get one bit not sure the wife would approve! 👍🍺🇬🇧

@@carlbModels honestly mate, 100% worth it.. you'll never see another truck like it and the build was epic fun itself let alone driving it. Chat to Rob at www.crossrc.us, tell him I sent you, it'll help. See what he can do for you

@@burdon84 cool, thanks for the reply. I'm deep in a build at the moment so the Mammoth will be on hold! appreciate the words though. I'm doing a "budget" 8x8 that'll be pretty good, for a lot less $$$£££, however the Mammoth is a *dream* build, and I'd love to own one. Not so keen on painting stuff though which is why a satin or matt black finish appeals! 👍🍺🇬🇧

Thank you Ricardo!

Thank you!!

Thanks mate! Glad you liked it!

Thanks mate! I hope to do a movie while video with it soon!

Thanks mate! I'll have to bring her out next time we go wheel'n

Worth more than you pay mate! Glad you like the truck and video!

Thank you very very much! I really appreciate that! Feel free to share it around :)

I've seen duel, fantastic movie that's for sure!

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate I really appreciate that!

Thank you!

Thanks mate!

Thank you! Nothing compares to this thing, definitely recommend this kit!

Thank you!

I like to drive scale lol the steering is capable of being very fast due to the 46kg servos

AussieRC i meant it positive that the steering is slow :) it takes some time to steer from hard left to hard right on a truck like that, and people build super-scalers and steer like toy cars :)

Your definitely right about that! Haha

Thank you! Very much appreciated!

Thank you! Please share my channel!

@@burdon84 sure sir🤗

There's an operational bumper that's been cut, but I prefer to keep it real and scale lol these bumpers are what the real truck ran, so I'll run it.

Thank you! Share it around! 😃

Thanks Ralph!

Thanks Tim!

Thanks mate!

It's a pretty massive truck already mate. If it was 1/10 you'd be lucky to fit it in the back of most people's car haha

Thank you Peter, I really appreciate that mate. I'd a mix of slow motion and real time, the truck can crawl at crazy slow speed

Thank you, it can be found here www.crossrc.us It's $1499usd

Definitely worth the investment mate

Wpl are terrible mate, you might think the bc8 is expensive, but the amount you get for money makes it pretty damn cheap... They are worlds apart from something like a wpl.

Certainly does mate, never had an issue with it at all.

Thank you!

What do you mean?

I'm really glad you like it! I won't lie, I've watched it a few times haha its all factory! Built to take on the world and it does it well!

This truck is like no other mate! A must have!

Thanks buddy!

Replied to your other comment mate

@@burdon84 any suggestions on my sound issue? I am running out of ideas as to why the throttle trigger does not activate the engine running sound.....I am ata a total loss unless you can advise on your set up. Every other aspect of the model is running fine. Can get Horn And start up via a three position switch but nothing else. I followed the CROSS RC schematics but no go.

I run the factory motor in mine mate, it's very smooth, plenty of torque and very efficient. You'll need a servo, I suggest the yeah racing 20kg metal gear waterproof servo as its only 27usd on rcmart and performs really well. For an esc I'd go with the hobbywing 1080wp esc, again great value for money with lots of settings to really help configure your truck. You'll need a battery of course but that's a given haha

Sorry... was thinking the wrong truck haha servos should be jx46 kg, esc the same, factory motor is brilliant

Thanks for answering my questions. Also I need a total of three servos correct? Two for the steering and one for the high/lo transmission right.

Also how long did it take you to build?

@@inyourearhole225 yes three servos needed, the gear changer can be a 6k servo that's pretty cheap. I honestly can't remember how long it took, I'm pretty sure paint and body work was much longer than the actual build etc. Either way it was epic fun

All locked mate

Ideally you'll want to run a external bec so the servos get maximum power all the time

@@burdon84 Many thanks. the Savox servos seem to be the cause of the jerking in that they intermittenly appear to lose power so a BEC might be in order. the wiring plan from CROSS RC does not show a BEC requirement. THANKS AGAIN.

If you look at the wiring diagram in the book it does say about adding a bec to the servo board. Savox servos are very power hungry at the best of times and are no doubt a big part of your issue

Thanks for getting back. Much appreciate your time.

Have installed BEC...THANKS!

You'd have to have a hunt through Facebook I imagine mate, they don't sell them rtr.

@@burdon84 I also have another question what transmitter and receiver do you use ?

@@ashleyshy035 I have two main ones, a spektrum dx6 for the big trucks like the bc8, hc6 etc, I also use a flysky gt5 for the rest

@@burdon84 what do you recommend

@@ashleyshy035 dx6 for a bc8

These trucks are actually used for numerous jobs, whether it be large vehicle transport, troop carrying or anything else it was made to do

Jay, it’s a MAZ 537, they have had many different roles in the military and non-military roles in a variety of off road applications. It is truly the Beast, except for the rollover. Great work AusssieRC

Mine isn't for sale. You can buy the kit from www.crossrc.us though, tell them I sent you and you'll get a good deal

Port Noarlunga south in south Australia mate! 🇦🇺

Wish you were here so we could go do some crawling together

It's bloody heavy!! Around 35pounds

Www.crossrc.us is where to get them!

AussieRC thanks

Shem?

What's funny?

You might wanna do some more research mate, mine was 1449usd, it's the flagship edition with all the upgrades. It comes with so many extras it's not even funny, even a free tool kit. Anyone that assumes this truck isn't worth the money, hasn't looked into it enough.
