just bought on of these and grinded out rear gear box on the first crawl indoors.took the gear box apart and noticed that gears are metal but are very cheap aluminum.so i upgraded to a metal covered gear box that probably has the same cheap gears inside.I also had a couple of old traxxas rustlers laying around so I took the rear shocks from them and put them in my hg.I had to use the front shock springs though because the rear springs are a little bigger and harder.anyway to make a long story short I would definitely recommend it for the price and would buy again.Hopefully the make a steel gear option in the future.I have a couple of real crawlers like my axial spawn but I still like this little trail crawler a lot (thanks for the review cheers.)

Sorry about the gears. I've put mine through a few more hard runs and gears are still ok. Hope your metal cases fair better. It's cool how there are so many hop up parts available now.

I really like these. For the money, they're about as good as you can get. Add a few dollars, stiffer frame rails better steering servo. A mini servo for the gearbox and change the battery and body. A better motor is a big plus too. If ya install a 4 channel ya can add a winch!!! With the Lexan body lights are really easy to add. Now, it's NOT a Traxxas, HPI, Red Cat or even a Tamiya ( well, as good at least), and pretty inexpensive too. I have two of these. One is bone stock for the kids. The other, well, its pretty built. I think the trans/gearbox is about all that's left of the original truck. Used LOTS of red alum upgrades a 5200 mAh LiPo and went WAY OVERBOARD on the body. Full lights, camo roll bar tarp, roof rack, light bar, super detail parts for the " cool" factor. I built a US Border Patrol Vehicle. Has loads of camping, traffic control, military gear all strapped into the roof mount cargo basket with cargo netting to keep it in place. It went the way of my WPL 1/16 scale models. $150+ in mods/upgrades for a $40 truck. Seriously, HG and WPL are kinda addictive. So many parts, so available and SO CHEAP

Hey man is the Wheel lengths between the axels front to back the same as the scx10 or close and and wide are the axels? I wonder if I can fit my custom 1/10 scale Black Phantom 2 RC trail truck body on this. I ordered the truck today and hoping I wont have to do any modification to the wheel base and frame.

' can this jeep use a normal RC battery as 1200mah to 5000mah... 6 or 7 cells... no no lipo battery
@DustinDunnill

Yes, just keep voltage the same. You can use NiMH batteries with lipo capable ESC but usually not a lipo on an ESC for NiMH.

That Rig is really impressing me. One common complaint - weak servo! No big deal, easy to replace. Definitely better shocks. From what I'm seeing, what it needs most, is WEIGHT! Shocks, yes. But it will have much better articulation, if there was more mass, pressing the tires to the ground. An Axial or Vaterra weighs almost TWICE as much as this! It would definitely be better, if it gained a few pounds!! 😁 😉 Also, METAL frame rails would be my second or third mod..... Now, I'm not bashing it! It's a LOT of truck for the money! I think it would be great with a few mods, some more weight, and after all that is sorted, Wheels.... Sure, they're nice, and beadlocks are cool, but they're a Scale 30 inch rims! That's my only visual problem with it. I'd buy one!

I found it turns really slow, even in 4x4 setting. Any way to improve this? REduce the turning radius?
@DustinDunnill

+Stinovic Cavarelli stronger servo. The diffs are all locked so slow turning is also a result but better traction.

@DustinDunnill
@DustinDunnill 8 жыл бұрын
+Stinovic Cavarelli If you want good crawling performance for a good price this one is good. just swap out the front servo with a higher torque unit close to 200oz of torque will get the job done nicely. Youll still have locked diffs which I would leave alone for better crawling traction.

+Dustin Dunnill you can put a winch anywhere, or just buy an axial aftermarket bumper and then mount it.

I would agree with Phoenix... Yes, you COULD put a winch on the front, but you'll REALLY want a metal bumper first.
