Vs410, from California to Alaska! alaskan drivetime.
Oh yes that's what am talking about...love that machine...
I want to change out the reciever and emitter for my TRX4 stuff on my 801. How would I do that?
Open up the tanks and start tracking wires, you would definitely need a BEC this truck runs alot of electronic stuff!
Love the scale details on these!!! Honestly I think HG stuff is actually pretty decent quality IMO. Shipping is getting ridiculous even on all the China post stuff as well wish, AliExpress all of them. Five hundos is a helluva deal considering the price of compared Cross military kits which to me is a close competitor.
I've been really impressed with the HG stuff too and yeah shipping is getting ridiculous!
Thanks Gerry. Fun video. I like how you detailed that truck out and the fact that it has that crane and can pull a trailer is just cool! So Tiberius held up production huh, that must have been due to his producer artistic license no doubt! Thank you😊
Glad you liked it! The crane and trailer are awesome and Tiberius is always trying to give himself a bigger role.
Nice truck I love the scale items.
Thanks buddy! And I agree, the details are what really make it stand out.
awesome truck Did? You build this thing from a kit , wow Must have a took forever to build this thing👍🏆
No kevin it was a rtr, but I did tear it down to paint
Thanks for this video ! I'm currently looking at several different heavy duty off road or tractor trailer trucks from Lesco. I love these super scale but strong rc's.
They make some pretty cool rigs! The tractors have caught my eye could make some awesome scale roads with some of those!
I'm taking my time cause I'm buying my last rc . I'm not leaving the Hobby, I just going to make what I have better & how I want . So I figured my last new rc will be something I've never had . I want the Hummer Wagon in black but can't find .
I like the civilian look. Don't get me wrong, camouflage is cool, but you can't see the detail as much.
That's why I have 2, 1 camo 1 civilian!😁
5:03 😂😂😂😅😅😂😂❤ hours and hours❤😂😢😮😅😂
I like to be precise!🤣🤣
Seems to be ur still active in certain echelons of maintenace. Not RC but real world accesses of military equipment. U seem to have a background in military instruction.
Thanks buddy! Not active anymore, 10 yrs in the U.S. Army last 2 was in a motor pool just a love of military equipment. Plus there is the 30 plus years as a mechanic and not run a auto parts store that services 2 military bases!
@gerrysoldguyreview yep... u sound like an ole Motor Pool guy... stay big and keepon shining "Oldguy"👍
Great review on an awesome rig. Thanks for the cool video Gerry 👌
Thank you for watching greg!
Such an awesome looking rig! So much details 🤓
Thanks! I was really impressed by this one!
That rig looks amazing 🤩 Thanks Gerry
Thanks it really caught my eye when I first saw it!
Thanks for the video Gerry. I am currently throwing all my spare nickels in a jar for one of these. I will get the 802 with lights and sounds already installed. Very Excited to add one of these to my collection. Thanks again for taking the time to do an overview. I appreciate it.
Nice choice 👌 glad to be of service my friend😁
when I got mine, after watching your review, it was free shipping to the uk, not now! and it's much more expensive now than it was back when I got mine, still a brilliant rig! I've also got the trailer and crane for it. and also the patriot missile trailer, which came as a kit, I made up a dolly so I can tow both trailers with it and it does so very easily! and the 6x6 sitting on the trailer as well!! 😮
Nice glad to be of service to you! I had always thought the tamiya rig was amazing in what it could haul, but this rig is a monster for sure!
Big toys for big boys. Man I love that rig! It reminds me of a Transformer. Sorry I couldn't help myself. 🫤
No worries wish it could transform! That would be a monster of a robot!
@gerrysoldguyreview Thanks Gerry, that would be something. 👊🏼
Great rig looks so realistic, could you add a battery to the generator box to run the crane? Just thinking out loud, thanks for sharing.
Cool idea but you would have to run a whole separate esc for that and rewire the crane, I will have to go back and find a video that ThatsMyRc did on it years ago!
Thats a pretty sweet rig, very complex for sure. Would be fun to build an 8x8 with 4 Trx4 sport axles and custom frame, this gives me some great ideas. Thanks for another awesome video Gerry hope you have a great week.
I have been thinking about building an 8x8 but with a different axle set up! I think it would be a super cool project!
@gerrysoldguyreview with the years of experience you have sir I bet it wouldn't be to hard, just depends on how fancy you'd want to make it.
Another great video Gerry! Thanks for the shout-out on the workhorse tablet. I'm on the fence on which Hummer I want. Either the upgraded wagon or newer Truck body with the off-road kit. Either one I want to scan and print parts in 1/12th scale for the FMS Hummer I have.
Least I could do mik.....John, sorry about the mix up had just talked to my brother that day (mike) which new hummers do you mean?
@gerrysoldguyreview the p415 pro or the p415a pro. Might have to wait til VA back pay for TBI hits to get one of those tho💸💸 😂
@@gerrysoldguyreview Also, I didn't take it as a slight. Ran with it. Now it's a thing 😂🎉
In my opinion, rebranded RC's sometimes are good depending on what they've improved on the rig. And about the Element Bushido, I wish I'd waited. I say that because about a year ago I bought a Bushido roller from eBay. I purchased everything separately to make it look like it came from a RTR package. Again I wish I'd waited because the blue version is so sweet! But I still love my Bushido. Anyway, Gerry, I love how the course turned out. ❤️💯
Iam glad I waited on the 1/10 but the 1/12 has my eye right now
As a heads up, the Bushido version is the only one that comes with metal links. The electronics leave a lot to be desired. It’s a 2-in-1 system with basically zero drag brake and poor modulation. You can move the chassis set-up around for more weight bias in the front and reposition the upper shock mount locations to lower the CG. Btw, you’ll be immediately be looking to upgrade the stock servo which is underpowered and likely to burn up on your first outing.
Thanks for the heads up Ryan! Haven't seen one in person yet
Glad to hear the producer is home and safe Gerry!!! I'm only 3 days late watching let it fly Friday's lol! Always enjoy watching
It's been a rough week, but he's back now so we can make some more! Now I too can catch up on some videos!
Just my lousy opinion, but the first set of tires looked backwards from the way the chevron pattern was facing.
They were David. The traction was horrible the correct way!
Thanks for the throw back video on this rig! Truck seemed to do a little better with the larger wheels and tires until you tried taking up that first ramp again. Was Gate Matshall Han operating.........Solo?😅.
Yeah it did much better but those ramps were built for larger cars! At first he was solo cause he Han Ben waiting on another!🤣🤣🤣
@gerrysoldguyreview Good one!
Been using the stock dig for just over a year now and still working. Used every time it's out but I did swap out the stock esc/transmitter straight away 👍Also still using the stock steering servo, on the weak side i guess but as you said ... easy to back up slightly. My Bronco weighs in at 10.5 lbs. Nice review.
Thanks for the info, myself and 3 others in my crawler group have first runs and all had the same problem, I upgraded my radio only for the end points and it still burned out. I have a couple of new servos just have to pit one in and start again.
Thanks for the video. I think the 1st set of tires was on backwards. Just judging by the tread direction. Would love to see it again with the tires on the other way. Think you would see it climb the entry ramp much better. Always a good time.
They are on backwards inthe correct position won't make it half way up the ramp definitely more of a mud tire!
Tiberius Approved!
Director/producer in training!🤣
That's a nice rig I've seen the Ecto12 & it's very nice & the suspension felt very good. There's alot of Brushless systems you can get for it.
It’s a great rig to build up, I think a brushless system is a must
Thank you so much for the footage just love the size and truggy style of the truck and they're quite capable even with the "non crawler tire and wheel" setup they come with, shoulda bought one when I could😢 thanks for sharing
No problem buddy! The element ecto 1/2 doesn't have a cage but looks pretty good!
@@gerrysoldguyreview hey just fyi saw the cr12 Ford step side for sale on team associated web site 🤔 gonna save my pennies!
Love the channel Gerry I agree the 1/12th scale seems to be the perfect size truck for the indoor course love the foliage and the gate marshals. Love the channel Gerry
Thanks for the kind words!
It’s a nice looking truck and did pretty good on the course , thanks Gerry very kool !
Glad you enjoyed it! Iam trying to get into the small scale
This is one of those rigs that I keep wanting to get, but then I never pull a trigger on it when I think about it. That and I think there's a 1/12 scale ford stepside truck somebody makes, that's the same way. When I see it, I want it, just haven't bought it.
It is a great one, get one, you won't regret it! The Ford was the other version of this one. The element version is better in my opinion
Show glad he came home. He's probably soon to be a proud papa.lol I know what it's like to lose one & not know if you're going to see them again. Our dog Lucy is 8 years old now. When she was a pup and we first got her. She come up missing for a couple days. Come to find out someone down the road stole her. Put something around her tail, so it would fall off. Because he thought she was full-blooded. Rottweller, and when we found her, thanks to the cable man who installed cable at his house and seen her down the road. He knew we were looking for our pup.& Got the word to us where she was, luckily. But the man who took her pretended she showed up that way, so we didn't say nothing, we just took our dog back and was very grateful to have found her.
Hopefully not, he didn't seem to hang out near any other dog areas and of course no other dogs were lose this past week! At the end of the street is hundreds of acres of state land an he seemed to spent alot of his time there!
Awesome video Gerry 👌 great little OG! You gotta hide a treat on the truck somewhere maybe then the pups would help you lol!
That’s a great idea! I'll have to try that! thank you greg!
I was interested in the Samurai as well. I did the math a ways back and I believe it's like 1/8 ish but ended up going with a WPL 1/10 Jimmy 74-1. I upgraded all underneath axles etc with metal parts. It was a bitch but the body is pretty cool. Way better than 1/10 element which I own. It's like Barbie size
The 1/10 samurai is closer to 1/8 but the 1/12 is also supposed to be pretty big!
Awesome video Gerry. So so glad the doggo was found must have been unimaginable for you all. You totally got me at rusty nuts not going to lie 😅I spat my Rum out 😂. I’ve always loved traxxas. I got a little trx4m defender. I will say the only gripe I have is the front fender is too close to the top of the wing/bonnet/hood 😂 silly I know but it scratches my eyeballs 😂
Thanks buddy and sorry about the rum!🤣 I have the little bronco and will admit iam really starting to like it!
Awesome video Gerry. I remember that little team associated truck was all over scamazon last winter and then like you said poof its gone. I see Element has a new Element trail truck builders kit 3 on for 270 American pesos it looks like something i might have to put on the want list. Always wanted any of there trucks as the inside of the box can be turned into a garage which is really cool.
I think the Element kit will be a good one! And so far element builders kits are like the old axial kits....lots of extra goodies
@gerrysoldguyreview good to know thank you Gerry.
Just like a white tail deer they can jump almost anything😂
No lie kevin!
You say alot of that evil T word lol jkjk
What can I say I like starting shit!!🤣🤣
@ lmao i got the T word refrence from Dungeon lol and thats how we refer to them on the podcast he's cohosting with me Btw purdy pups
I like our new President. He seems to be able to get most and almost everything done compared to what we had before. That couldn't do nothing right? Mr., Jerry, sir.
Totally agree kevin!
That's why I never told my dog she was adopted..didn't want her running away looking for her real parents! 😂 jk we put gps tracers on their collars now since they are agility competitors and can leave anytime they choose! 😮 I'm glad he's back. We could all use a little less heartache for a while...
Thanks bud! Taller fence and GPS for sure! I take him out on a lead right now, he doesn't like it!
Straight axle trx4 with hardbody. Yes, definitely beadlocks with some updated tires. And get rid of traxxas plugs! Great video Gerry. Glad your producer is back. We once had one of ours go missing for 2 weeks. Searched and knocked on doors for 2 weeks until we finally got a lead that led us to him 6 miles away!
Great ideas but I don't see the plug ever leaving, I just have a bunch of adapters and leave them on. Luckily for us he stayed in the general area then just came home!
My dog I can't trust him.He put him on the backyard and he's over that fence. Like a rabbit
He is learning walking on the leash right now, will have to fix my fence this summer
Did he jump the fence
5 ft fence, like it wasn't even there!
If Canada? Becomes a 51st state. It might make it easier for you to get boxes and freight & stuff. The golf of America. Great idea.Hillary clinton thought it funny
It's a nice thought but it's another country we can't just make it a state
My first crawler also was a Trx4. IMO, the quality and durability of the Sport especially, is undeniable. Not so much for the other Big names. This is very important to me when it comes to carrying your trail truck out of the woods instead of driving it, or blowing a comp event because of parts failure. Just a small rant of my own lol.
Love the rant! I have had zero issues with traxxas over many years!
So are you gonna get the $3500 Optic Origin?🤣 it’s ridiculous! Looks cool,but nobody should buy it.
No thank you, I wouldn't buy their 800 kit!
Howdy👊
Hey bud!
Nothing, you do nothing to the TRX4.....Mine is not that old, 1.5 years, only put wheels and tires but just because I didn't like the High Trail look.....everything else is stock, and I have not driven it easy. So my answer is.....nothing.
I would like beadlocks about it!
i clicked for the doggos. cuties!
Thank you!
