This is the RGT EX86180 Pro, or the RGT Tracer Pro. It's a 1/10 RTR RC crawler with numerous 'premium' seeming design features and functions.
However, the assembly and performance may not live up to the spec sheet. Let me show you over the model and then we'll have a drive and see what we think. It's certainly an interesting vehicle.
Worth owning one? Well, I'm not sure, yet. Let's test!

Correction: at 9:13, I should have said "...and adjust your end point" - not "dual rate". I'm referring to the end point for steering, which can be independently set for Left and Right servo throw on the front servo only.

Was really looking forward for this review but in two minds now. Glad I waited though. I’ve got the V. Stance coming today I can’t wait to have a play with that. Mite get the Tracer in the future see how it does on the 6 problems. Much appreciated Craig see you on the next one and all the best for your pup 🦮🤘🤘🤘

I don’t buy pre manufactured anymore! Build my own out of metal and it’s so much fun! Lotta work but gratifying on end results. Because I built it by hand except the main components. 🎉

W😮W! A Classic RC Review 😂 HéHéHé! A very nice and usefull Review my Friend! Some time ago This RGT was in my wish list but a RU-vidr Friend here in 🇵🇹 have that one and in the time the new RGT EX86170 CHALLENGER and tell me (and shows) that the Challenger is all another world in quality and one of the best RTR he can buy for the price. 🐼👌🏻

@RCTNT День назад

This is true, yes. Challenged is new rgt. Tracer is old rgt. Good choice.

@pandacrawler6x6 День назад

@@RCTNTThks my Friend!!! I'm very happy whit the Challenger and now whit new Tires is a Blast!!! Only need a 1080ESC for more Smoothness on the Challenging Obstacles of Joaquins Course😂

@RCTNT День назад

Could try an isdt70 or 90, or a carisma arc2, if either are cheaper for you. All great ESCs.

@pandacrawler6x6 15 часов назад

Thks my Friend for the tips!!! In the TRX6 i use a 1080 whit traxxas original motor and is super Smoothness! Almost like the PANDA Wife RGT EX86010-CJ JEEP WILLYS whit the Fusion Pro 1800kv

@roblowrie1969 2 дня назад

Looks like a nice truck, but I agree about the cycling through the steering settings. I've only ever had one 1/10 scale crawler with 4ws, and that was a Gmade R1. I coundnt afford to get a radio where I could blend the steering, so had it running through a Dumbo radio, on the 3 position switch. So much easier!! Maybe a candidate to try an ISDT ESC90? I hope your dog is OK, and gets well soon. 👍🏻

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

Totally right, it needs a better esc. I'll have a rummage through the parts bin and see what's here. Dog is getting there, thank you. Got a way to go, but she's very young so she has all that growth factor to help with healing. She'll be right.

@VS666 14 дней назад

21:25 looks like we got a 7th problem there mate 😅🤨😑 cool truck but yeah, this feels like little billy's second RC truck he picked out in the shop cuz it had steer in the back. that is wild they let the esc/brownout issue pass QC with 4ws, even my furitek on my trx4m does this, but only when you steer quickly

@RCTNT 14 дней назад

Bit of a hodge podge of parts, this one! I think a BEC or even just a few caps will solve the brownout issue, at least. It's an odd machine. Capable enough, though.

@bernardrc1137 День назад

There is another ftx tracer, it's a little 1/16, basher, also those baja tyres also come as stock on rgt Rescuer, check out the tyres on yours, hope your lovely beautiful crazy dog gets better soon🤔👍

@RCTNT День назад

Ah I see! I hadn't noticed the tires were the same, good spotting! I'll have to look into the mini one. Interesting!

@TheRCBuildersPost 2 дня назад

Really wish you'd go back to table teardown and then run outside. Still enjoying the content but missing the more thorough teardown!

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

I'd love to do that, too. I'm operating on much more lean time constraints currently than in previous times. It'll pass in a few more months, but in the meantime, I'll keep making videos - just without quite the same time investment. It's a compromise, but it means I can make videos! Thanks for the feedback, I hear ya.

@Casitascrawlers 2 дня назад

Your description of it was exactly what most of us where probably thinking I saw this Crawler a few years ago & was definitely interested so I started researching it & found out it had axle issues you couldn’t repair mind you it was a few years ago but the motor hanging out & some of the basic things like geometry length height etc. was kind of unusual. You want to like it but what exactly is it build to be? It’s an interesting one I’m dying to see you take it out for a test.

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

Test coming soon! It's hard to say what rgt had in mind when designing it, yeah.

@derrickhays3627 2 дня назад

Nice video, too bad QC is doing such a poor job at RGT but you're seeing it everywhere nowadays no pride in their work anymore. Thanks for sharing. P.s. best wishes for the doggy.

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

Newer rgt models are much better. This is old rgt. They're continually improving, thankfully!

@zanthraxnl 2 дня назад

My RGT Recuer (same electronics) almost burnt down last week. It slowed down, then started billowing smoke, I quickly pulled out the battery. Either the motor or the ESC shorted, they're both burnt now. This discharged a nearly full 5000mah 3s pack to 50% in a few seconds so that might be toast as well. I don't think the ESC in these is actually a 1060 made by HobbyWing.

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

It does appear to be a 1060, but it could be a clone. It's hard to tell. Sorry that happened, I'm glad you didn't lose your rig!

@DurpVonFronz 2 дня назад

Wonder if this is just a blend of what parts were kicking around the shop. Its Chinese, not known for the best stuff, but dang have they really improved their RC game over the past few years :)

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

It's a great case study to show Before and After for RGT, absolutely!

@Br0rB 11 дней назад

I'm gonna go with 100% not thread locked. I have had the RGT EX86100 Pro for some years now, carbon fiber rails and metal axle housing and all sorts for metal and carbon fiber parts out of the box. The first thing I had to do, before even running it, was thread lock _all_ the screws!

@RCTNT 11 дней назад

Haha yes, I reckon you'll be right! Well, apart from those drive shaft grub screws!

@givemethetruth7232 2 дня назад

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

@dudleythree3 День назад

Tyres and suspension with droop, the servos fail when you put grippy tyres on it. Still love my one, but I bought it to modify. Can't wait to see its top heavy ass on the course

@markcole6475 День назад

I’ve looking at this right now for quite sometime ….still debating…I have 2 other RGT crawlers and the portal gears blew apart in one of the rigs….couldnt find replacement parts so I had to swap in another set of axles….biggest drawback with some of these Chinese based RC vehicles ….yeah…stuff is gonna break on any RC rig but getting parts easily is a big help. Great review and spot on as always ….

@ares333x2 12 часов назад

Great vid! If you have a moment could you tell me what radio you are using for thumb steering on your rear steer? I've been using a GT5 with 3D printed steering wheel/ knobs. But I'd like to try one with a thumb knob/ dial. 🍺 Cheers from Utah!

@RCTNT 3 часа назад

I use a Sanwa MT5 but they're no longer made. Friends of mine use noble Nb4 pro with 3dp thumb lever. You can find my demo of this radio at the 5:10 mark here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZE15cKfbRlQ.htmlsi=OpxRQ2peTbKz0P2S?t=312s

@Andy_Yates 13 дней назад

It's too bad caster isn't adjustable on these portals. You could really dial in that pinion angle. Otherwise hope your doggo is ok ❤

@RCTNT 13 дней назад

Can extend the upper links and the steering would benefit up front too, at least for crawling. But yes, would be better with some freedom on the caster! Doggo doing okay, we're not through yet but she's getting there! Thanks Andy.

@AnyAssumptionBanter 2 дня назад

It reminds me of my redcat ridegrock. That would be an interesting comparison even though it's straight axle moa. I'd be more interested in how u feel out the electronics and remote because it acts the same when changing modes

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

That's been on my list for some time, but some redcat models are difficult to get in Australia. If it's still relevant to folks, I can try again to grab one.

@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers 2 дня назад

After some issues with different RTR's, I'd rather have to go through the car and put threadlock on the screws, then having stripped screw threads that causes big issues to get the garantie parts. That stresses me out. for me no more rtr's, and if yes, then it would be RC4WD which is known for having not tightened screws, which I now prefer. But the companies should mention the threadlock issue.

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

That's fair.

@Casitascrawlers 2 дня назад

After seeing you run it I would not buy it & just like you I’m of saying it’s performance is terrible but it’s got a whole lot going on. And it’s definitely not for a beginner I can only imagine how upset they would be when it stops running & lacks solid performance. You can’t expect that beginners are going to have the ability to keep it running that’s why you buy RTR’s it’s like plug & play if someone wanted a project they would buy a kit. And RC enthusiast who already have Crawlers it’s like where does it fit in & I don’t need to spend $ on another RTR you have to repair.

@RCTNT 2 дня назад

Yes, it's disappointing in that regard. I'll see if I can improve it on a tight budget with simple changes. Might be helpful to some.
