Tomley, props to you. I'm a massive RC4WD fan (apart from their faffy way of getting the body on and off) but I also massively appreciate your honesty with how you found the truck and the quality of it despite it presumably being sent to you graciously by them. Some would sing their praises just because of that fact, but it's much more endearing to not. Makes you and your chanel a much more trustworthy source! 👍

@TomleyRC Жыл бұрын

Thanks dude. I try to be fair… but will never cover up and issues.

@muskokamike127 Жыл бұрын

The shocks might feel a little bouncy because the first spring is soft for flexibility and the 2nd is for impact/weight to prevent bottoming out when you take a jump. I don't know why ALL race off road vehicles or trail trucks don't have them. KT has an issue with his raminator bottoming out, bending shocks because he's using the shock instead of springs to carry the load. Shocks are ONLY supposed to dampen the spring action. The springs are supposed to carry the weight of the vehicle. Most passenger vehicles and light trucks ALL have dual rate springs. Take a look: loose/few windings at the bottom then they get closer together at the top....that's so when heavy aunt bessie gets on board you don't bottom out the suspension lol.....

I love the C2X, but only after I switched the electronics over to a Momba Micro X2 and a Holmes stubby 2200kv and a Reefs Raw 500 servo. I swapped the shocks over to Proline Scaler 90mm and the tires to the Proline Krawlers in predator compound wrapped around aluminum beadlocks. I added the Scalerfab winch front bumper with an RC4WD winch and it is one of my favorite trucks now.

I find with RC4WD products you need to go over all the hardware and make sure it’s tight. I have the Marlin crawler and straight out of the gate upgraded the steering servo and ESC. Their leaf spring kits are super scale but need mods straight out of the box to perform. Get used to losing those corner lenses. I’ve replaced both sides and even glued them in and still lost another one! Cheers!

if you use grub screws in the body mount you can just stretch the body over them instead of unscrewing the screws all the time, Rc4wd don't know what loctite is so be prepared for a lot of loose screws.

Nice video Phil, thanks! 👍 🙏 I'm not sure how much "300oz/in" stands for in kg, but the servo may not be the main culprit for the weak steering. I believe the Hobbywing 1060 can't offer high voltage BEC, so a different ESC may be able to use the servo's full power..:)

Really honest review, i dont think its worth the 499. If you save up for that (whatever age you are) open it and find rust and easily catchable quality control failures, it would make me doubt the quality of the things i cant see.

If you don't shim the gears in the axles they will go bang very quickly, also you will need to helicoil the steering hubs they strip very easily. But other than that its not a bad rig at all

Stick Class 1 hyrax on it, and it would certainly do better in Class 1. Looks stunning, like the dual spring shock (shame about the oil situation) Ni-cad battery will also not hold up in comp, i am guessing 2s lipo wakes it up a bit. The Treal wheels look sweet and that extra low down weight will really help with the hard body. Really does remind me of "Brawn" my RGT ex86010 jk with a hard body swap.
