Both of those are true but I think I'd take the Axial if you offered it to me!

Thanks! It sounds like you like it 🤣

The trouble with RTRs, sadly.

Great idea! They're a lovely accessory but they're quite heavy, so think carefully about where it might mount.

Thanks Panda🐼. It's a lovely car and it was a surprisingly good run.

Indeed my Friend ❤! Panda Wife are looking for one of that

Yes, pretty much. Heat gun and some tools.

Thanks! 😁

The 1/24 scale like these? Or do you mean the larger ones like the Aventador in my other video?

Not snap, Alan. These are Fastrax wheels that are about £50. I bought some of the others as well but there was a reason why I couldn't use them.. Can't remember why. All the best to everyone north of the border! 🇫🇴 ❤(I couldn't find the Saltire)

Call the cops! 🚓 🤣

@@rcpie already mate. Lolzz

Thanks a lot, Steven. Nice to hear that you've found the hobby. What are you driving?

@@rcpie ,driving a MN99s,totally different from stock now.

@@stevenjones1972 Cool. The MN99 is a great way into the crawling world. They're frustrating when hoping that upgrades will actually fit but there's a lot to be learnt through them.

Thanks, Mark! 👍🏻 I hope you had a nice day.. you don't look especially happy in any of the shots you're in. RBF? 🤣

You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked it! 😃

It's a wonderful place! I think I just got onto my third pack. They're 5200mAh 2S. Yes, it's an MN999 and it does pretty well with just a few mods. There's a link to buy one in the description. I was torn between driving this and my Rangey. It would have been more capable but I was curious to test this against the much more expensive rigs.

Spot on!

141? 😉

Yes. Quite an unexpected feature of the day. 🐸

Was hoping he’d stay in for the rest of the drive 🤣

@@Cursed_jimny_4x4uk I think it would have turned to jelly if it had ridden along on those rocky paths! 🤢

The body is excellent but the chassis and suspension leave a lot to be desired.

You'd better cover it in mud as soon as it arrives! 🤣

@@rcpie 😆

@@rcpie I'm in hospital at the moment as it is!! I don't want to be back again that soon!! 😆

No, you'd better walk a careful mine for the time being! Best wishes for your recovery / treatment. 🤞🏻

@@rcpie thank you. 👍🏻

The red isn't half as good on the video. You have to see one to really get how pretty a colour it is.

Hi Rob, I'm glad you've found us. 😁 Sounds like you've got a nice little garage there but I'm saying nothing about the Kanyon. 🙄 I know what you mean about the Paso; some cars just make you smile whilst some are capable but somehow very dull. I have a few simple mods in mind, so watch this space. Let me know what you think on the rock test video.

@@rcpie yeah, the Kanyon has so many issues. I picked mine up for £30, and it had most of the mods already done. I just got a new body, cut it and the cage so it's a single cab, and my son saw it, and it's his now. He loves it, so that's me happy. 😇

RGT / FTX crawlers from the last few years have been really tough and getting better and better. The Rescuer/Tracker is about the toughest truck I've used or seen. It's totally bombproof! I see no reason why this should be any different. The FTX Gladius isn't as tough but it's not an RGT. Go figure!

Thanks. The Venture is a really nice rig. The body isn't the prettiest but it certainly looks better with scale accessories.

It's an awesome body and demands worthwhile upgrades and scale touches, so it's going to be a long, slow road.

A paint brush, acrylic paint and patience.

@@rcpie I believe you still have a stable hands to do this delicate painting.

@@allansoria3478 Thanks! The hands are ok but the eyes are awful!

Yeah, a pair of bad'uns! 🤣 It's a hell of a course, though.

It was quite a surprise just how badly that thing did. It looked like it should be quite capable if a bit of a strange and pointless design mix. Those axles though! 🤤

@tomwest1748 Cligga & Trevellas: spot on. Carn Marth: ❌ Aggie Beacon: ✅ All great crawl spots. There are others in other videos. See if you can spot any!

Yeah, it seems quite fun. We'll see how serious it can be. I've driven the Tracker with loads of TRX4s and it compares very well. Better at some things, worse at others but always close. The only thing that's significant is the approach and departure angles being worse. I'd have a Tracker, though.

@rcpie Good to know thank you. I love the look of both I do love a defender but toyota is a very close second 😆

I drove my Tracker when new and stock, against a TRX4 in classic Bronco body. They're so similar in build but on the day, I think my Tracker came out on top, especially when climbing a steep slope with unlocked diffs. Ok, tyre choice comes into it. But the TRX4 owner had a close look at both side by side and said he was impressed with the build quality. For the price, it's unbeatable IMO. I have only broken a front prop shaft, but I have driven it hard with minimal cleaning and maintenance. The few upgrades I've done have made it even better. I love it.

@@psjoinery6 Thank you for the reply. It's made me really interested in the tracker now. Can you get metal upgrades for it? That would be awesome 👌

@anglian-rc There are brass diff and portal covers available. They're not needed until you put a loaf of scale stuff on the roof and then they're a godsend! Honestly, nothing else really needs upgrading but a better ESC is always a good start.

Thanks a lot. Yes, it's lovely, isn't it?

Thanks a lot. It was very surprising and I suspect that with a little bit of work it could perform a lot better. Watch this space..

@@rcpie I will, thanks for your hard work.

You're very welcome! 😁

Actually, I think the running gear seems very good. The only issue I really see is it being top heavy. Extra weight will help. I totally agree about the wheelarch liners, though. It should now be a standard feature on all RTRs.

Thanks, Paul. Yeah, it was a nice morning. Sadly, the forest is getting wrecked. It was bad enough that MTBers were digging ramps and berms and moving all the stone from the boundary wall. The destruction of the wall means access is easier and now it seems that motorbikes have been in. The paths are now getting totally ripped up. 🙁 Back to the truck, though. I think you'll be interested to see how it goes on the rocks in tomorrow's video. I've got a couple of upgrades lined up as well, so we'll see what weight does.

@@rcpiehola! Te escribo desde Chile! Concuerdo con la belleza del paisaje, se agradece. Me llega en 2 dias el modelo, hay poco material en TH-cam. Qué piensas sobre cambiar la relación de los engranajes en los diferenciales? Serviria como mejora más económica? Tengo la versión larga que funciona muy bien stock y más económica que Traxxas , tengo la Bronco 79, una belleza. Y tambien una Bronco 95 XLT 4x4 real. Me encantan! Quedo atento y nuevamente gracias por todo. Es un bicho que dan ganas de mejorar sin duda.

Greetings to Chile 🇨🇱 I'm sure you're going to like it. I don't think it needs the gearing changing. The performance is mainly hindered by the weight distribution (and the tyres, obviously but they don't really count). Sounds like you've got a nice collection!

@@rcpie gracias por el feed back. Tengo una gran colección rc 1/24 1/18 y 1/10, no tengo hijos ni mascotas, puedo invertir en mi pasion. He comprado cervezas para ver detenidamente tu video, estoy algo ansioso por la llegada de este rc version corta.

No, not yet. I'm hoping that FMS will send me one.

The ESC seems surprisingly good, to be fair. I think I'd try to keep it if it stays brushed. I'd certainly like a bit of weight in or around the wheels.

Nice! I've never seen a short wheelbase one. Actually, I've never seen the long wheelbase one either!

I didn't think Toyota ever did a short wheelbase Landcruiser of this type? Never seen one, if they did. I wish someone would release the Mitsubishi Shogun Evo SWB body. That would be mint

@@psjoinery6 images.app.goo.gl/MDbhp8gSbxVscJuv6

@@psjoinery6 yep there’s the one I said which is the same as this one and there’s a blue and silver SWB in our local town in mid wales

All likely steps in the near future but it's only fair to test a rig in stock form. 👍🏻

@@rcpie It needs custom change up a bit🤔 Also custom inner fender wells to block mud out under the chassis.🤔 It needs test and upgrade for this model.😅 It's a fair crawler..but not great.🙄 Good video.😉

Thanks, Glenn. I was surprised that they didn't include wheel arch liners. They should have become a standard feature on crawlers by now. There are upgrades on the way!

I considered one for a while. Maybe when the 99 gets rebuilt I might add something new.

Thanks, Panda 🐼 The colour is so much better than it looks in the video. It's stunning!

I belive!!! PANDA WIFE loves that RC and is in Christmas list

She'd better be good! 🎅🏻🤶🏻

HéHéHé 😂

I'm not sure about this.. It's a bit slow for me but is that because I'm a fast walker? The crawling speed is very good but is it a rock crawler? Adding a Fusion would probably eliminate any questions on either end of the scale.

A transatlantic "Hello" back to you! Thanks; it's a looker, for sure.

Hi Ed. I'm really not sure that I do 🤷🏼

This body is a bit odd but once there's a few scale items on it, it looks pretty cool.

@@rcpie I like odd! And scale! Subbed up for more!

@@bcochener Cheers, m'dear!

It's a pretty good truck.

Thanks, Tyrone. It's one of my favorite crawling spots. It's near St Agnes in Cornwall.

@@rcpie beautiful place 👍

Yeah, it's pretty good quality but will it drive as still as it looks? (spoiler alert.. no🙁)

It is nice looking but I'm not sure if it needs different sized tyres.

Thanks for the nice words. It sounds like a wrongly phased drive shaft but if not, perhaps it's just the lack of differential on a high-grip surface. If I drive crawlers with clean tyres on my kitchen floor, they do that; outside, they're fine.

Yeah, a surprisingly good manual. To be fair, it's not hard to beat a WPL manual! Interesting about the shocks. Have you done it?

@@rcpie I did it with an MN78, I ran them without springs (just shock oil) and they weren't half bad. they just popped on where the old shocks mounted.
