Shocking performance for $500. The fact that it has portals, unlocking locking Diffs and optional FWD and RWD sets it above the SCX6.

I was able to improve steering radius quite a bit! I used the transmitter to change the servo throw from 90 degrees to 180 degrees. Then I set endpoints perfectly. Much better. I see someone put 4s brushless on this and sent it. This vehicle has a strong drivetrain and is not afraid.

One question---is the lack of steering angle fixable or is it at its maximum?

@just.jose.youtube Ай бұрын

The servo saver/steering dampener hinders steering performance too. If you change it for a fixed link you'll get more steering out of it. I don't know about steering angles though.

Probably the 4th video I've watched on this truck. Your test drive vs the SCX6 (which I have) is really telling. It is for sure nice truck, though I fear aftermarket support is a long way off. If that picks up and the price stays around the $500 mark, this could really pick up a lot of people. The value is "massive" (is a lot of ways) vs what is out there now.

Nice video 👍 Many Thanks for your report with all the explanation…🙏 I have to admit that I am not a real crawler modelist, but there are a few topics I wonder a little at, if I think myself deeper into the segment of crawler RC cars, its goals, and what I would like to have, if I would want to go for such a model… • Of course, I can absolutely feel the fascination of crawling in the sense of going extreme ways no other “normal” RC car can go. Including all the technical features which make this sort of adventures possible. In this category the MK-07 seems to be OK. • However, in addition to the crawler performance aspect there are also many efforts made to achieve scale appearance in REAL looks and REAL driving performance. And in this direction I ask myself some questions… 🤔🧐😉 • REAL off-road cars like a “Jeep” (which is somehow the direction of the look of the MK-07…) can drive fast enough to be also used on normal streets within some sort of “normal” speeds. In this aspect the MK-07 looks too slow in second gear. I understand that it would be quite a challenge to drive a huge truck like the MK-07 with scale realistic high speed, but this is exactly the same with a REAL 1:1 scale truck. Well, drivers would have to be careful, but this would be the REAL reality of scale appearance. 🤔🧐😉 • Considering the low top-speed of the MK-07, I can not see much sense in the front- and rear-wheel drive option… 🤔🧐😉 And it would make no sense to just give the motor more power for more speed, because it would also affect the first-gear crawling mode, which would be only negative for performance. • It should be possible to switch the direction indicator function on and off. Nobody in REAL life is constantly using those while intensively manoeuvring in extreme, low speed off-road conditions, i.e. CRAWLING… 🤔🧐😉 • Every REAL truck is not driving around without a driver… a model that wants to be scale realistic just looks ridiculous without a driver… 🤔🧐😉 I know, this is a “problem” with nearly all brand RC vehicles, but I think RLAARLO wants to be a little bit MORE special with its RTR models, so in my opinion it would be a little, but quite nice touch if they would include a driver figure, or at least offer one (or even better more than one different versions…) in the proper scale… Keep on having a great RC FUN time…!!! Thorsten 🌞

@RCReviewChannel Ай бұрын

Thank you for your thoughts and questions Thorsten. You have great insight and curiosity. Yes, the gearing is too low. It should be increased significantly and that can be done with a bigger pinion gear. Rlaarlo is planning to sell a brushless version of this. It will make the drive modes and open diffs make more sense. These will be very handy at speeds above 15mph. Currently, the top speed is only less than 8mph. And yes, it needs a driver. The interior is half height only one can cut up a driver figure and fit it in there. I plan to do it and make another video. I've also improved the steering angle.

Great to see another brand on the trail truck/crawler pond! And it looks like a solid entry! Great value! (too bad it's another Jeep though... 😅) Do wish they sent the upgrades uninstalled to the reviewers though. The servo saver/steering dampener hinders steering performance too. If you change it for a fixed link you'll get more steering out of it. I don't know about steering angles though. FC could you tell us if they too have hidden a normal grill behind that ugly "angry grill"? 😁

This may be the most biased video I have ever seen haha. Cuts out on the "Hard Stuff" for the scx6 when the jeep struggled, guessing the SCX6 walked up it. Then you take completely different lines with the 6 and at a slower speed then say it struggled more lol. Jeep rolls over at 9:20 but cuts the video and proceeds to talk about it not flipping. I was tempted to buy one until seeing this ridiculous comparison. I get you may make money on this but my oh my, at least try to be a little bit unbiased.

Just now it is accepted to have to buy junk because inflation stretches the all mighty dollar too thin to buy the quality up front.
