Hey folks! In the video I made a mistake saying that the brushed motor in this was a 260 size motor, when in fact it is a brushed 370 size motor. I apologize for the misinformation.
Dude what a huge help to so many people you are finding these great deals! I mean this just looks so nice love how quiet it was. I mean really you do an amazing in-depth review on so many great deals. Nice and scientific with the ramp dig it really perfect. Really a nice scale looking rig.
Again, I really do appreciate your appreciation of this. Just trying to share some 411 with people who want to either save money or get into the hobby with out breaking their budgets. Glad you approve Dude! You made my day brother!👊🏼🤗
Awesome overview and run Robby! Boy for the price of the 4m, you could buy almost three of these!😮 Looks great, seems extremely smooth, and some real nice features! Great job!👍😊
Thank you Jeremy brother! Your right,almost 3 of these for the price of 1 Trx4m. I was very close to running to my local (30+ miles away) hobby shop to buy a TrX4m until I saw these several months ago. I think this will make a wonderful trail blazer! I always really appreciate you commenting and watching buddy! 👊🏼🤩✌🏼🙏
Great review Robby! Pretty impressive little truck and looks very capable. The price is definitely right! My Kyosho Mini Z of the Jeep Wrangler was almost $300CDN and I think I would have been just as happy with this one and saved some $$$
I just recently saw a video on that model. Is it a Jeep body or Tacoma? It was insane. Couldn’t even tell the difference! Awesome Thad, I’m excited for you brother. Can’t wait to see! Here we go, that storm is now here for the next day and a half!🌧️❄️😝
@@BangForYourBuckRc I got the jeep. It was 65 bucks shipped. Should be here in the next day or 2, the blizzard stopped mail delivery and package delivery for a few days
Hi Robby, that Austar Hobby 8801 is doing a pretty good job, 42 degrees before it flips over is not a bad angel for this little monster. It looks like the SCX more than the TRX4-M. It handled the outdoor course pretty good. Thanks for showing another add to the wish list. 💯💯💯👍👍
Thank you bud. I totally thank you for the comment! Yes this little 1/18 is really smooth. If you remove the skirting and compare the chassis next to a TRX-4 m you will see the very close and in some cases exact similarities. With upgraded things like bearings instead of bushings that come on a TRX4-M. For the money you can’t go wrong with this set up! Thanks so much for watching my friend! Will have more of this rig on the channel in the next few months.👊🏼😎🏁✌🏼
I didn't need any convincing to buy another RC, but your video made me want one of these even more. This is a nice little budget crawler! By the way, are you from Massachusetts? Your accent sounds familiar.
Really appreciate that my friend! You can’t go wrong with these trucks as they are very impressive performers. They could charge any price under $130 dollars for it and I would still say this. Really hope you’ll be liking yours. You’re pretty close on the accent, I’m two states up in Maine. It’s a hard accent to hide isn’t it?😂 Thanks again for your kind comment!
That is insane $75.00…..that is one of the best deals and intro rig combo I e ever seen. I mean even a scx24 is 140 I think….i don’t need any more small rigs as fun as they are the $75 prob go into like Al Kat enough for tires lol
@@rcarty419 Thanks man. What I like about these little guys are that they don’t take much room and travel nicely. There is always someplace around to challenge them. I prefer the 1/18 over the 1/24, but both scales are super fun!
Great thumbnail. Great review. Thank you for sloshing around in puddles for us. I always feel peculiar while driving these 1/18 scale crawlers through the backyard ( not a kid in site) lol. But if the neighbors ask, one day ill just tell them my job is playing with toy cars… lol! Thank you Robby for helping lead the charge! My question is.. on the TRX4M ESC receiver combo. There is a mode button to set drag brake and what not. This one has a good drag brake, but Does this crawler have one as well? Have a great Day my friend, see you on the next video!
Wow! What a great comment, and thank you so much for watching and leaving one! When I first started the channel almost 4 yrs ago, my neighbors were very curious as to what I was doing out there with these cars. Most of them know now, or have gotten used to seeing me out there with the cars LOL!😂 Your welcome, I enjoy doing it especially if it helps people who are new or returning to the hobby after some time away. There are so much great budget rc’s out there to share rc info with others. As far as the programming of the drag brake, this rc does not have that adjustability. Drag is on all the time. It can however be upgraded with an after market esc that you can program drag brake power. Hope this answers your question my friend! Again, thanks for the great comment!👊🏼👍🏻💯😎
I’m one of the neighbors… lol. I was so excited the first time I heard an RC car in the neighborhood that wasn’t mine…. And 💥 Robby and I were friends. lol
I think on their website they offer after market part support for the Trx4-m, which most of those parts can be made to work or altered to work with this Austar rc. Thank you for watching my friend!
Good Review Robby 🎉 RCF4L I Think You Touched on Everything this Budget Friendly 18th has to offer but after clicking on the link you've provided to Check it out I don't think it's WP electrics... But it Goes Well on Your Test Run ❄️⛄ ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing 👍😎👍 AOAH 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy Brother and Have a FUNTASTIC Day 🎉⭐🏁⭐🎉
Hey Larry, I appreciate your reply my friend. I don’t think the seller disclosed All the information in their link. Here’s another one: Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $79.50 50％ Off | Rc Crawler 1/18 Simulated Wrangler Waterproof ESC Crawler Car Remote Control Electric Racing Vehicle Car Rc Cars for Adults a.aliexpress.com/_mOnIyJE
Yep, that’s right Eric, these can be found for as low as $56 and $90 depending where you look. No matter, you are 100% right,comparing this to a much more expensive Traxxas is a no Brainer. These well done somewhat clones of the Trx4m are just as good and you’ll save the green back for upgrading tire, wheels and shocks! Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment!👍🏻😎✌🏼
LoL! You can’t go wrong Troy. Banggood is a bit more expensive but ships faster if you are looking to get it sooner. Pretty sure it’s on Temu as well! I just don’t have the link off it! Hope you get one! 👍🏻
Yes ! Great sleuthing brother. Yes the AX - 8560 is correct . The “C-8801” # I may have really messed this up which is I assume the color code (I think) not the model #. It arrived in a foam box with no model number or writing on it anywhere. LoL! (that’s me trying to save a few bucks😝) When editing the video I had to go back to my invoice at Ali-express and check what model number this was. It read Austar Hobby 1/18 C-8801 so that’s what I put on the thumbnail. I should of double checked with other sellers on Ali Express. So many model Numbers to remember in this business. That’s why I think names are easier. Any way my mistake. I couldn’t remember what size motor this had in it, this model had been sitting in my Rc Room for almost 2 months before reviewing it. Any way I knew it was bigger than most 1/18 scale crawler trucks, but couldn’t remember the size so, I did a physical comparison next to a 380 size motor I had laying around and a MN99 model 260 size motor and it lined up pretty much perfectly. So I went with that. Again, I should of double checked. After reading your comment, I went on Ali-express and double checked and it is a confirmed 370 size motor. Must be a small one though LoL! Any way my apologies for any mis information. Think I was up real late putting this video together( like 2:30 am in the morning, and I get up for work at 4:15 am in the morning. I appreciate you correcting me, unfortunately I can’t change the video as I have already deleted and trashed it. I will however make the correction in another upcoming video on the AX-8560. Have a great weekend Peter!👍🏻😝🍻
Hi Robby, oh man, your investigative skills are amazing! You’re a bit of a guru at seeking out these amazing value for money models 😊😊 a great insight into the Austar C-8801 Jeep. The model details are really scale and for the money, this looks to take the fight to the more popular manufacturers, big time 😊😊 and as usual, your superb demonstration and skilful driving of this amazing model, I’ve really enjoyed watching and listening to you today, great work my good friend. Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊
Hey 👋🏻 John ! Think it’s more luck than investigative skills! I do research a bit before I decide to purchase. I don’t want to put stuff on the channel that is not worth of any expense, even if it’s a really low price. Think that’s where the luck comes in for the most part 🍀😉😂. I really do appreciate all those very kind things you said! I promise my head won’t swell as I never thought of myself as a “guru” or to have good rc driving skills. I do however love saving money on my purchases and sharing any info with like minded enthusiasts! I also do love this hobby. Thank you so much my friend for all your kind support! Hope you and yours have a wonderful remainder of the week! 👊🏼😎👍🏻
Hey , thank you Andre! I really love the feedback buddy. I will have to check out the “O Brothers review on this as well. I always love getting other peoples perspective on things! These are such capable bargains and so worth the $60-$80 their asking for them. I have seen those other color offerings now being offered.I’m still very excited with the gray color purchased. Very happy for others that there are more choices! Thanks again for the great comment!
@@BangForYourBuckRc I just subscribed, great content you have here! I'm seeing a lot of your videos. I also love to watch a lot of different reviews before purchasing my RCs. I also purchased this very same grey one but from another seller on aliexpress a few weeks ago. One more week and should arrive. Thank you so much for answering me! Keep it up
⚡️⚡️GREAT STUFF⚡️⚡️I’m glad I found your channel I look forward to seeing more of your videos📺 I do mostly TRANSFORMER Stop Motion 🎬📸🎞️ I hope you enjoy my animation‼️ 23:05
