Buy the RC Ripsaw EV2 here:
www.banggood.com/SG-1203-112-...
Unboxing here: • [Awesome] $50 RC Ripsa...
This is an RC Version of the Ripsaw EV2 Luxury Super Tank! If you have $1000 spare you can buy the Pig Studio RipSaw Tank, but if not, this cheap Ripsaw is a very cheap alternative. It's fun and goes well on all the terrain I've tested it on! I'm going to upgrade the Ripsaw and make it faster. But out the box it's ready to go, and you'll have a lot of fun with it.
The Cheapest Super Tank you can buy! Lets hope they bring out an EV3-f1, EV3-f2 or Ev3-f4! Or even the Ripsaw M5!

Just to clarify. I mention ‘Reseting’ it, by this I mean removing the battery and leaving it for about 10s. There is no ‘reset’ button or switch.
makes me wonder if its just getting hot then not functioning right... there IS possibly a cheap simple solution, wiring in a BIG final transistor to the board's motor outputs so the stock board is only working as the "pre-amp" section. newer little "all in one" receiver ESC boards do use tiny surface mount chips, doesn't matter, they'll still act as controller to the high output transistors and they won't get heated up doing it.
if you can do it cool, if you cant but got a local buddy who can, hit him up! definitely let old BangGoodies know about the issue, hopefully the next batch won't have the same issue (don't tell them you bumped up to a LiPo cell haha)
It happen to my tank also. It always tend to be in full forward throttle everytime I pull the trigger nether battery pull out for 10 seconds or connected. Don't know how to bring the proportional forward back.
You should install your own esc and radio gear phil couple of cheap brushed speedos and a vtail mixer coupled to a flysky gt3b would do the job pretty much what i did to a nikko velocatrax great video bud
@@steveclough6794 how,? i have all frsky electronics in my planes and have burnt the pcb out in the thing already
Put a prop in the back off the ripsaw to drive betre in water
Your LiPo conversion and waterproofing have transformed this tank - I hope the manufacturers see your video and think "Hmm - let´s do it", because the drive train can take the extra torque and the increased speed makes a big difference too, while the waterproofing adds a whole world of extra play value to this product.
Perhaps they made the vehicle so light at the front deliberately, so it never face-plants, but the cost in terms of climbing ability is very high. I´d put a weight in mine, and fill the left over space up front with flotation material, myself.
The next step for this is to try and get some better electronics, I'm not sure if 2 ESC's (1 steering 1 drive) will work, but if it does, it will be made fully amphibious, with some paddles added to the rear drive wheels....and possibly something else added for propulsion :)
Before you use the spray you could put dielectric grease on the connection points that would both waterproof them and keep the spray out of them
Yes, good idea 🤘
Can you imagine a 1/8 or even a 1/5th scale version of this vehicle!#😊🤔 that would be epic..
1/8 would be awesome!
You could have a money maker on your hands
The kyosho sno vehicle is roughly 1/8 in comparison to sg ripsaw.
Thanks BRO! Ive watched several videos on this vehicle and you're the first to talk about the size of the figure that fits inside. Great video overall!
That’s a very clever gearbox works the same as a real tank awesome to see that in a nearly hobby grade vehicle
Phil, my son was in the Cdn military for 5 yrs & attended a sales pitch for the 1:1 Ripsaw. In terms of practical military purposes he laughed so hard he could hardly drive home. It’s touted as an advance-warning, scouting vehicle yet it's so noisy you'd alert the next county. It also offers such minimal protection you'd have to ask for volunteers to drive the thing to the store for bullets. (Although I believe Joe took some sort of tank into a McD's drive thru once)
Awesome story Al, the real thing is good for an 'Adventure' vehicle, but certainly no good for the military! lol
Only practical use for the Ripsaw would be Search & Rescue operations. Since it is light enough to travel across rough terrains and noisy as fuck lol
I think my 5 year old is going to love one of these. I guess l’ll have to get one for myself too. Thanks for the how-to mod tutorial. 👍🏾👍🏾
Yes, it's good fun for the kids, and us a s adults as well haha
Mount camera ..fishing line ,send down rabbit hole !!!
When you said five meters it sprung the image of people chucking these into a lake in my mind.
haha
Excellent mods. Thanks for showing!
No propblem
I bought one of these and despite the scale being a lie I managed my own mods and now I can get one 6 inch figure in it and i made the front a flup up canopy.
Woah! Awesome! This thing is pretty good with these upgrades!
Love the look and the lipo definitely made it better
Yes, it's pretty good fun
Dude i just clicked on this Video because the Thumbnail looked sooooo real now Im went into Whishing an Crawler for Chrismas. Thx mate
No worries :)
add some plastic pieces to track and it can row like a boat in water too LOL
Lmao, easy amphibious RC. Awesome!
Awesome. I just ordered one today while they were on sale. Can't wait to get it.
Just like to wish you and your family a Happy new year,also I'm loving the channel.
And you dude. Thanks for the support
Maybe you need to change the tracks for betting grip.
I bet the driver was well happy in that...🖒
She enjoyed snorkelling 🤘
Much better, its a beast with just a lil mods & had you read the full instructions, the steering wheel is telescopic like a Cadillac lol. Thanks for revamping it & bringing to us folks interested, so soon. 👍
Yes, I didn't read them lol 😎👍
Waterproof is awesome!
Damn, Phil - who wouldn't want one of these? I couldn't stop watching you having fun with it, this is a totally insane RC, but in a good way! The waterproofing sure adds another element to the fun of the rig, great idea mate. Really enjoyed this vid, thumbs up dude! :P
Thanks Mark, it's good fun and I'm looking forward to modding it to make it better.....and also 100% amphibious! Cheers for watching... 🇬🇧🤘
Just waiting for mine to arrive then the fun will begin, I hope.
It's good fun
really cool little beastie for sure
Nice like the last bit. Have one in the mail now😁🤙
Great design 2 brushed escs in there and you can run your hobby grade radio on it
Yes, thats the plan 👍
Really, really nice little thing, dude! 😃
I guess it's bigger problem is the CG. If the battery bay was in the front part it would be much better! 😃
Yes, to much to the rear 👍
add some weight to the front of the shell, hell of a difference.
Fantastic review! You took it up a notch to improve it and just as i was thinking of weight in the front, you said it. Also i was thinking of spikes in the tracks.
Cheers dude
You should have a crack at the Feilun one, it's got a weight up front to balance (kind of like they stick in cheap airsoft guns!) Plus you can swap the tracks!
Great video my friend definitely remind me of something out of Thunderbird or Terrahawks👍😊🇬🇧😎
Yes, it's that sort of thing.
Amazing
Nice man, I now wait for My to review :)
damn that looks really fun
Yes it's pretty fun
Just bought it!
The easiest change to make i have seen is cutting the plastic tabs in battery bay to enable most fwd placement of batt. possible to reduce its frontal kick up upon accelerating.
Also i bought the aluminum bod. Version which adds more weight to reduce frontal kick up and and overall tippiness.
One more mod ive seen that will help it swim is adding larger tabs/paddles to tracks; every 2 or 3 squares.
Aluminum body one? where do you get / which one is that? I see there is a white one, grey one (i have), german camo one, and currently a really cheap (46$) dollar one that has a engine in the bed that when you press a button on the radio it shoots out a mist.... Other then those four I don't see a aluminum body one? I would really want one.
I have ordered the black one 😁 The lipo certainly gave it some punch! I think a waterproof esc might be the way to go on this one as I'll be adding a lipo too 😀 Great run buddy, she looks like loads of fun 😁👍👍👍👍
Cheers dude. I definitely needs proper electronics in there. I will be converting it soon.
It is in southern Florida!
how did you remove the battery do you just have to pull the two ends or is there something else you have to do
Gi Joe Classified!
thx for the tip
Looks cool man. Different
It's certainly different, and pretty fun 😎
@@TomleyRC can I have one
Cool little trax mobile. Nice upgrades you will get that proportional power delivery problem figured out I'm sure.👍👊
Hoping it was just some moisture. I'm going to try and upgrade to better electronics anyway 👍
@@TomleyRC more than likely was cause of moisture. GL
Troppo bello questo super tank !!!...ci vorrebbero i cingoli di metallo e allora diventa più performante !!!...ciao Tomley !!!
Good one, mate!
Cheers dude
cool video i like that thing
I am impressed at the power increase but am afraid your battery is over powering the controls. Mabe dial it back by adding a few resisters in line to cut the power back a bit. How is it running now? I want to upgrade mine but not max out the board and thats what it seems is happening.
It's pretty cool always liked tracked vehicles! Hope you did not burn out the esc! nice video.
Hopefully it's ok.... 🙃
I got one but I kinda forgot to waterproof it so I guess I will be getting another one
Love your channel. How does this compare to the WPL E-1 ? Thanks
Rice works to remove moisture I like the tank, and what's lipo, I actually own the tank and many more radio controls vehicles
Wonder if you can find different tracks with paddle style treads to fit it so it could maneuver on water maybe. Sweet mod and run brother!
I was thinking maybe 3D printed covers for the wheels with paddles on 👍
@@TomleyRC nice!
Hi. Thank you for the nice video - very professionally made! If I am allowed to ask - how did you resolve the issue with water entering the electric motor, and the LiPo battery? Thank you
Thanks mate. I didn't do anything apart from coat the electronics in conformal coating.
@@TomleyRC Thank you. I have done the coating, and protected the battery and contacts with shrinking tube and resin. LiPo battery reaction is violent if it gets properly wet.
Good video, curious if you resolved the issue. Looking at this for next toy. -Thanks
Hopefully it'll be ok
Hi, thanks for the video. Does this tank have a low voltage cut off and if so at what voltage does it cut off?
I believe it does, but not sure what it's set to.
I do hope that there will be upgrades for this, just bought mine, curious to see what I can do to this in terms of custom upgrades, gonna try to make it truly amphibious, should be a nice challenge
Hopefully there will be. It should be pretty easy to make amphibious, just need to seal up some of the holes, it's pretty well balanced in the water as you can see.
@@TomleyRC
I did see that, though it didn't move very well on the water for obvious reasons haha, that's the part in which will be interesting to mess with
the tracks dont look very agressive... I wonder if you could change the sprocket and Idler and install something like Henglong tank parts with metal tracks? it would also give some weight to the truck so it doesnt bounce too much? I mean, at 55$ I'm not expecting something bullet Proof either 🤣 I ordered one myself! Can't wait to see how it does in Canadian Winter
They have got one now with metal tracks. Hopefully they'll sell them separately soon!
How did you reset it? Just by taking the battery out or both battery and did something to the electronics
Yes, just remove the battery for a bit
@@TomleyRC ok thank you and is nail polish a option because that’s all my mom has
@@TomleyRC or should I just buy the spray can thing to be safe
Quick question: Can I plug a Turnigy 1.3 3 cell 11.1v with 30-40C discharge without burning that circuit board? Sorry, I´m a noob...
I'm gonna say no.... but it's up to you lol
Some little zip tie cuttings glued to the tracks and the thing could climb anything
Does the stock electronics have lipo cut off feature ?
i want a rc bulldozer n watching the videos on these tanks i think i can get a better dozer if i convert one of these???
I thought it was a massive tank because of the thumbnail 😂
Nice rc
Maybe you could find metal tracks and wheels to improve its performance.iv replaced rubber tipe tracks on My 10th scale tanks and that made a huge difference with traction.
Yes, could do with a few mods
You can buy this tank with metal tracks or just the tracks, there actually really easy to find! :-)
what is the name of the STOCK connector on the STOCK battery of the tank?? i dont know the name, i want to buy one to charge my little friends battery with my hobby-grade charger and i dont want to spend 2hrs searching for the connector.
Literally EVERY rc I check out you have covered 👍😎 bloody legend 🙏 mate have you done the ftx Ravine or Outback 2 at all? thanks in advance & thanks so much for sharing this, my daughter and I are both going to do this & add fpv & modified airsoft 👍😎
haha... I try to cover most of the Budget stuff (I try and weed out the lemons, and only get stuff worth looking at). Yes, I have 2 or 3 videos of the Ravine, and I haven't got an Outback... but have got videos of the RGT ones (exactly the same)
@@TomleyRC awesome 😎 thank you 🙏
I wonder if you take the tracks off another one. turn them inside out. then either glue or rivet them to the outside of the other tracks install them back on the ripsaw. if that would have better traction for climbing and swimming. maybe upgrading the motors to the 55,000 to 65,000 rpm slot car motors would give it more power and speed. just food for thought.
Yeah not sure. I have a few plans for this to make it better in the water, just waiting on parts . 👍
If you made (or bought) paddle tracks it would be quite good in the water
This thing is cool!!!!!
Pretty fun...when it worked properly haha
That's cool 5 meters cool idk lol!
I'm sure it good get to 5m.... not sure it would have a signal though haha
Fantastic running and how to video mate, Maybe put a 1060 Hobbywing Esc in, tell you what they have the same connections on the Esc as my subotech Brave , Maybe that will be a better Esc, anyway fantastic running video Phil as always Pal 👍😁👍
Cheers Tony. I'm gonna try the 1060, with a small 20a one for the steering motor.... not sure how it'll work....but worth a try!
Have you tested the metal track one yet? I'll be ordering one soon, hopefully the metal evens out the CofG so it's not so jumpy at the front.
As easy as the body comes apart it wouldn't be a big deal to add some weight in the front.
If you get metal tracks, you need to make sure to also get metal gears. The metal tracks will wreck the nylon gearing.
Edit: Holy crap, just realized this was a two year old video and comment. Oh well, maybe someone will still find my comment useful.
@@aarongray3573 definitely useful, as I still haven't got round to buying it yet lol
You should glue hilt grips onto tracks
Could you measure the length and wide of the car, please?
Intenta pegar algún tipo de aspas en las rueda trasera, de buena forma que se desplaze mejor por el agua. Se me ocurrió esa idea. Un saludo
👍
LoL. Sooooo,
I was typing ‘have you tried adding weight’
And then you mentioned it.
Finish the damn video Joe
😂
hahahaha
I think you can upgrade the track and make it can swim also. =P
Yes, hopefully 👍
Side skirts will help it swim better; also, take the 'military police' markings off; they'd have no clue.
Can you help me with mine? The tank just blinks upon turning it on, unresponsive to the controller even though both are fully charged
I've seen a few have that issue. Maybe contact who you bought it off and get a replacement?
@@TomleyRC thanks tomley X3 i just recently had it returned Owoy
is that a toy grade? looks like it since the motor and esc (i dunno if i can even call it that) are looking like it.
Well it's a bit in between.... not toy, not hobby
Man I was thinking about getting the grey one until I saw the gear box... No way those plastic gears hold up to 2s lipo after several runs.. cant believe how small that motor is.. btw the grease will help; in attracting dirt! Still $60..
Yes, quite cheap...but still fun. You can get spares now as well
What happens if you put it in water without those upgrades
Any other way of waterproofing? A cheap way?
You think it’s possible to do a motor upgrade?
Yes it will be. 👍🏻
How far can it goes???
I have this little bad boy very nice for the price
Yes, it's not bad
Do the metal tracks give more traction?
I'm not sure
Hobby grade?
On TH-cam theres a guy whos done a 3s lipo upgrade with 2 esc's. Its abit messy but i bet you could do a better job with a brushless.
Shen RC?
@@TomleyRC i think so i cant find any others, but ive seen both your workmanship n i reckon u shud do a tidier version as ive just bought one for my 3 yr old n as time passes he'll want to go faster n ur the best lets face it so id rather take advice from you.
Reset it ? How ? What do you reset ?
I’ve added a pinned comment. It wasn’t clear what I meant in the video 👍🏻
Cheers
Show,,,,,,,
Has anyone found anywhere you can order just the metal tracks by themselves?
On Banggood. But they are £21
I would have used a storm trooper for the that vehicle, but its a opinion. To bad that rc doesn't come is a desert color scheme.
JUST WONDERING IF SCOXGUARD WATERPROOFING WOULD WORK. SEALING THE UNDERCARRIAGE WITH TAPE MIGHT WORK.
Can it be made to be an amphibious vehicle?
Yes, i guess it could
I want to put a better brushless motor in mine. Anyone knows one that can fit physically?
link for the lipo please...
Sorry but i would like something about the orange defender
Is this a toy grade?
Borderline
