Peaks Epic 2024. Trailing with the upgraded FTX Trooper / RGT Intruder
After the initial trail run and rock tests I couldn't help myself but order the brass for the Intruder / Trooper.
It was performing OK but was definitely on the verge of being slightly top-heavy and, as I wanted to add a few scale extras, this certainly wasn't going to help.
The next group meet that was on the cards was the Peaks Epic, which is a one way, uphill grind over the course of five to six hours. I thought about what I could take and figured that it would be the perfect opportunity to give the Intruder / Trooper a proper run for its money.
I spent a day getting things ready, fitting the brass, making limb-risers and netting and fitting the winch. I then wondered (again) why I'd spent hours fiddling with elastic and cotton! An early night was stolen again and another 5am start was in store to get to the meeting point on time. I got there early!
To be honest, as we set off on the drive I was worried whether I'd made the right choice in taking this truck. Would I be happy later on? We would find out. Was the trail good? Hell yeah!

This truck is a lot better than I expected but just how good is it with the basic upgrades made by RGT/FTX? A 5 hour drive over fairly gruelling terrain would help me to decide.

We had a look at it on the table and it looked very pretty but what will it be like out on the trail? I took the Intruder into my local woods where I tend to do all my first drives. It was damp but not wet, so the roots were slippery but rocks were dry. I was very interested to see what these tyres were going to cope with. The next tests will be on the rocks. So, if you want to see how it perfo...

It got stuck in Hong Kong for three weeks but finally made it. Long anticipated but is it worth the wait? There's a lot of interest and a lot to like about this truck. The body is stunning. The chassis is different for a trail crawler. The tyres are new. The branding & licensing is confusing. The price is keen. The radio is new. The tyre-size is puzzling.

Beautiful video,what wheelbase is the RR?I like the pajero a lot!what is your opinion?
Beautiful video and spot!
Beautiful job!
Can i get one
Yes! Get one
Can i get one

Any particular question?
What scale is this tank and cost?
Did you use an airbrush or by hand. Looks very clean i like it.. How did you paint the tracks are they plastic or metal?
All done with a brush. The tracks are plastic
Bro I miss medal of honor
Yeah, cool games. Allied Assault was my favourite but I worked on Rising Sun.
Coul you plsss review the zp1009? Im just about curious if this rc has its speed gear adjustment
I'm afraid I've not got one and don't have plans to.
Kid me is crying for one of those omg
Do it.. You know you want to!
When I get mine I will stick lil eyes on the turret like my one in war thunder 😂
Googly eyes, I hope. 😜
@@rcpie yup
son muy hermosos yo tengo
👍🏻
Why is it suddenly stopping?
I didn't work it out.
@rcpie im sorry but what does that mean?
@@Jeyreypkey I didn't work out why it was stopping; ie. I don't know.
Is it still happening now?
Just bought the exact same HL M26 at an auction for 25 dollars. Its complete and moves in all directions just fine. However, it did not come with an oerators manual and i have no idea what the buttons on the bottom of the transmitter are for, they literally don't do anything at all when pressed. Can find no manual online for these old 27mhz versions. Were these tanks made in the 80's? 90's?....can find no info at all about that. Nic vid!
It doesn't seem very easy to find out much about the 27mHz versions. If it works, that's great, though! My guess is that the left button is to change the sound set. The G & K buttons are probably function buttons for things like light settings, volume and other things. They might operate by holding a button then using a direction stick to cycle through settings.
Bro missed 😭
How do you get it to look rusty?
Paint it! 😁
Big fan of the chanel , I have had my tracker 6 months, just got the interior to fit did you seel it in some way dose dirt get in ?
Hi Richard, Thanks for watching. My interior isn't the official one as it hadn't been launched. Mine is a cheap AliExpress one that I fitted with double layers of Velcro. It's not ideal but it's done a decent enough job. Dirty water certainly gets in, but it mostly gets out as well. The body is so tired that I don't worry about it. It's my work horse!
🇧🇷🚜👍
😁😎
the turn lights wont work if i had different esc nd rx ?
You can only have the full lights if you add in a light control unit. I considered it but decided that I didn't want them anyway. Headlights can be easily added to an extra channel on the receiver.
Neat bullet trail
Thanks!
Hi the driveshafts on mine are wobbling like crazy, how can I fix that?
10:57 you were talking about it here, do you remember what you did to mitigate it?
If they're out of phase, you might be able to take them apart and assemble them with one end 90° rotated but it depends on the type. More likely is that you'll need to buy different ones that are properly manufactured.
Im not comfortable with lipos can you point me to alternate battery please?
You can get lithium-ion or Nickel Metal Hydride. The former will last longer. Both are easier to care for.
You should search up how to make a tank with turning in podelki channel
Next time we did another family project we will check it out.
Beautiful and very informative video!I saw all the series of your channel because I like a lot this truck!where did you find the yoga badge for the front grille?
Thanks a lot. I got the Toyota badges from AliExpress, years ago. Got them for the Rescuer and had spares lying around.
Hello. My mirrors arrived with no 'little holders' (Left and Right, for them to slot into). Were yours already in the body or were they a part of your snap-out plastic pieces? 8:28
I think they were just loose with the plastic bits (around 4:50).
What sound system does it use?
Just the standard heng long system.
Looks very similar to the Boom Racing Probuild. And they are very commun. Looks like BR dont have any patent worldwide or they are a very good copy.
It's a great system, whoever came up with it.
While it looks cheap because it is, the model looks quite nice. Also this one is not based on the Type 10 but it is based on one of its prototypes known as TK-X, you can also see it is written on the transmitter.
Well, you learn something new every day! Thanks. 😁
Jeez I'm tempted now
Don't be tempted, be a Sherman owner!
very nice.. i wanted one but i already have a Brx01 Lc70.
I'll happily swap!
Nice, want to find a kit and use the 79 f150 extra cab body from hpi.
That's an interesting idea.
I cant find the brass in Europe from FTX or RGT.
I just had a quick look and there are loads of places in the UK, including from FTX themselves.
@@rcpie The problem is that UK had the brilliant idea to leave Europe and now my main country to order things is out of the question, msot of the times they dont send to Portugal. 😀
@ricardopires4713 We're still in Europe, just not the EU. But yes, it makes things trickier for hobbyists and our tiny markets.
@@rcpie I just saw you put aliexpress links my bad! Can you tell me since he is top heavy makes sense only put the weight on the front wheels? Thank you sorry so many questions im new and trust your opinion!
This one or the new FMS LC80 1/10?
I think I'd go for the FMS.
@@rcpie I wanted this chassi to put the Trail Finder 2 body becasue its 284mm wheelbase and now you recommned FMS! 😀 Ohh man i really dont know what to do! Both have great bodies already but i really want to make a Toyota Trail Finder 2 i dont like the shocks of the RCWD cars.
@ricardopires4713 I think it would be too big for a trailfinder 2. The wheelbase might be right but I suspect the track would be too wide.
Already have it on my list
Sounds like a good list!
Looks awesome with Toyota painted white 😮
Thanks
I absolutely love the speed controller noise 😅 🤠👍💪,its absolutely amazing what you get today for the money, my first car late 70s a knight rider transam never had enough power to run on the carpet lmno 😅
Oh the early days. Carpet was tough, lawn was a no no.
Just bought it £45 ebayUK 😊❤ ,omg i cant wait ,so awesome and so cheap , i even bought a star trek Will Ryker 5" action figure for the driver's seat 😅 and i got a passenger 😅 4 little figures £10 , i figure its more fun with 2 dudes inside 😂,fantastic video bro ,have a great day 🇬🇧🤠 Derbyshire woz ere 👍
Driving is always better with a driver! Adding passengers adds fun
👍

hello I just bought a trooper but when I put the battery in for 8 hours and then I put it in the trooper it only works for 5 minutes what do you think is wrong it is the original battery still
Hi Hotwheels, I can't remember what the included charger is like but I suspect it's a USB type like you get with a lot of RTR cars. They usually have a little LED which glows red when charging and (sometimes) green when charged. If there was no light, it might not have been working. Make sure that your USB socket has a high enough rating for the charger. 5 mins run time sounds like it didn't charge at all, just the storage charge that it would have shipped with. I'd recommend getting a separate charger anyway. You'll get faster charges and better battery care.
@ oké thank you i will try that
I’ve had two of these both had electrical issues can anyone else relate?
Not had any electronic or electrical issues with any Outback Mini 2s but had an ESC fail on an Element 24.
Is it possible to paint the chrome trim prior to install and have it be chip-resistant? Maybe a slight scuffing?
I'm not sure what you'd paint it with but perhaps several coats of some sort of varnish/ clear-coat might work.
I’m trying to decide which RC tank I should get the Sherman or the tiger? It’s a tough decision.
The Sherman works better but the Tiger is super cool.
@ I know that’s why it’s a hard decision 👍
😂 так не крепят ветколомы
The translation isn't helping me, so I don't know what you mean.
Thinking about getting one are they decent?
This was very helpful to me. Sincere thanks to you and Abraham.
You're very welcome!
Sticking scale gear on your rig is cool but depends what you want your rig to do. For rock crawling, i would say as little weight as possible, for trailing, does not matter so much. I have a TRX 4 defender loaded with scale bits but my rig is for trailing, not rock crawling. I like your rig and have been looking at it for awhile now. Tempted to buy one. good video.
Thanks. I'd highly recommend getting one; they're great. This sort of truck is always going to be a trail rig, so scale stuff is a must! 😎
I’m trying to decide which one to get. I think there both great
I think the Sherman is better to drive but the Tiger has that 'je ne sais quoi'
@@rcpie yeah🤣
