A lot of folks call this the BEST mini RC crawler you can buy - so I needed to test it out. I have tested the SCX24 and the TRX-4M...and they both disappointed a little. Does this one?? We must test it to find out!

Well like all these new rigs. They have come a long way. Still Haven't gone below 1/10th yet. Still not really feeling the pull. But I can see the appeal for the mini indoor courses. Nice work Troy

Yes! I still favor the larger sizes as well.

I was a 1/10th guy for years myself... but the TRX4M got me interested. 1/18th is very satisfying and hits that "real weight" feel similarly to 1/10th to me. But you cant beat the larger size out in nature.

Mine is blue like yours and I love it! Only upgrade so far is the Meus wheels w/ brass inner rings and tires! That alone made a huge difference in CG and traction!

Awesome! Glad you really like it!

Great review and comparison Troy. Pretty impressive in the backyard. Judging by the look on your face I think this will be spending some time in Troy's RC Skunkworks getting some upgrades. 😁

I enjoy mine, but better tires and heavy wheels have made a big difference.

Yes! I see that on the short list of needed upgrades!

Thank you Harry! It is a good quality truck - especially with that brushless setup installed!

Seems to be a nice little crawler,but as you said there's not much you can do to it,but the electronics are top nice,great review and great video!!!!

@RoadsideRC 9 ай бұрын

Yes! It would be nice if there were more upgrades for it.

Axles are CR18P, so all the brass you want is avail. Wheels too. Shock mounts are fully adjustable. Servo is are same size as SCX24, infinite availability.. Furitek has links and other stuff on pre-order.. what more upgrades do you want? 😂

@RoadsideRC 9 ай бұрын

Compared to trucks like the SCX24 and TRX-4M, clearly not as many parts readily available. But - you are correct, plenty for most folks.

Yeah buddy, they finally lifted my suspension and I can now leave comments! When this came out I was very excited. It looks great, performs great , but I still can’t justify paying the $190 for this. That is the only reason I won’t buy it. Take $50 ff and I’m in!

@RoadsideRC 9 ай бұрын

The extra $50 easily covers the brushless system alone - that is why I think it is truly a good deal. But - price point matters!

@BangForYourBuckRc 9 ай бұрын

An extra $50 would get me really close to more justifiable {Value wise} Redcat Ascent!
