    Interesting we were talking about variety being the spice of life in the previous video, and then this drops!
    What an amazing left field rig! And a ripper with that HW 8IGHT!
    As you say, probably not the typical thing to get, but more of a "rare occasion" rig that those days it comes out it becomes a total experience for its unconventional combination of large scale, scale design, mechanical features and mild bashing capabilities!
    With the scale design of the suspension, tons of attention to detail and care on the details, its such a cool thing to just look at, both on the shelf and on the drive!
    Look at that suspension cycling on the onboard camera! Hypnotizing!
    Love living the first drive and ownership experience vicariously through you! Cheers, Craig!!

    2:09 tomley does that too, compares different vehicles to gauge how "scale" it is. A desert racer will be a different wheelbase than a 4 door SUV and a 4 door SUV will have a different wheelbase than a small or even full sized pickup. So to be "accurate" you should compare the same type of vehicle to each other.

    • @RCTNT

      If I remember, tomley's was even more blatant, he was comparing a small jimny suzuki samarai mini SUV to a full sized C/K pickup. "dude, in the real world the samarai could fit into the bed of the chev pickup" lol

    • @RCTNT
      @RCTNT  12 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Well yes. Like we've discussed before, in RC there are two approaches manufacturers take, and there's no clear convention on how to determine which they've taken until you compare the 1:1 model with the scale one.
      The first method is true scale. If it's a 1/10, everything should be about a tenth the size of the real thing.
      But more commonly, it seems there's a roughly established size for things and they'll build so you can run this 1/10 with that 1/10, meaning your Element Bushido and your SCX10.3 Gladiator are roughly the same size, being on either side of the fairly typical 1/10 wheelbase of 313mm.
      With these things in mind, my aim is really to give a practical idea of the thing's dimensions more than a critique of the manufacturer's idea of scale and technical accuracy.

      The Demon is from 'old' Cross RC. The XT4 is a early model in 'new' Cross RC, with their more plastic oriented design and, IMO, greater variety and durability. The Demon is more like the military trucks, I guess.
      In any case, there's a lot of high quality choice from this company.

    It seems to perform as well as it looks too, I'm happy to see you've fitted the new Hobbywing 8ight system too, I've got a Fusion SE & I'm extremely impressed with it but it's strictly a 1/10th motor, it's not really up to powering my larger, heavier 1/8th scale rigs (at least not with my driving😉) because it just gets too hot.!
    The 8ight system is around £140 here in the UK & I'd say that's fair enough.... It's definitely made it onto my list.! 😉 😉

    Yeah, I was surprised at how well my Fusion SE modulates at super slow speed even when highly geared & in second gear.!
    I ran into trouble with the gear change on my RGT Rescuer, it became really sticky & wouldn't change even with an upgraded servo so I just thought "Bugger it, I'll just run it in second gear" but my brushed motor/ESC kept getting super hot & it was useless at slow speeds..
    So I decided to get a Fusion SE to see what it could do with the rig in second..
    I fully intended to fix the gearshift.... But the Fusion worked so well in second gear that I've still not repaired it a year later.! 😂 😂 😁😁

    Id love to be able to take it out and run it like this, so im considering turning it into a crawler instead, as i think its the weight of the car, and the weight of the wheels are putting so much pressure on the servo horn, thats the issue.

I heard it can be a normal thing and it’s not harmful but from all of the reviews I saw no one mentioned it? Both the transmitter and the LiPo are fully charged so idk what to do.

      It's a small fault with the servo's sensor assembly. Technically, it's faulty. But it's functional so I'd just use and enjoy the truck until the servo eventually dies and then look at getting a better replacement. They're a universal component in RC, so you can make a decision based on driving style and budget when you're ready for it. Meantime, ignore the servo chatter and enjoy the thing.
