I'll admit at first glance I thought, too much plastic and too toyish but right after you flipped it on its side I was blown away. The under carriage is amazing! The transfer case and don't get me started on those control arms! Ay yayay!!!!
Dude i've been waiting for a review of this truck for a while! And again you didnt dissapoint! Thats one beautiful truck! Gotta get my hands on one of those! AWESOME!😎👍
Very cool bro. I agree, nice truck to take the rods out or scale pics. Haul a camper or the rock racer to the comp. Lol. Thanks for getting the video up.
I'm not really a Ford guy either but some of the scale details on that thing are too cool. Oh, and whatever that thing is in the back with the tracks is insane! 👍
The Shift Knob is definitely installed backward. Not that it matters, the truck is awesome! I just sold a new Raptor SuperCab like this one. Lightning blue. Thanks for the video! I'm subscribing.
Hey bud I've had good luck making leaf springs in the past out of Briggs and Stratton lawn mower schroud recoil torsion spings , you can make some pretty scale looking leaf packs , you can use vice grips as a heat sink on the ends of the spring I used a spam can key to roll the ends while they were hot . The heat sink limits the loss of spring memory ..just for future reference .you can really play with how soft or tight your suspension is .
great unboxing video on this rc4wd truck. but with all the rc4wd rigs to buy this rc wouldnt even make my list. im just not into stock trucks and to mod this to a trail worthy truck just too much everything. this is the best video on this truck out there. worth it to watch.
its not rc4wd. they have nothing to do with this. they just import it in america. it is made by JD customs, the same company that makes all the construction equipment you see on RC4WD
Why didn’t I know about this truck until now? That’s a fantastic scale F-150 Raptor! I mean definitely not a Raptor I don’t know what’d give you that idea...
I'm with you, not much of a Ford guy. The scale details on the body are awesome though. I'm just really excited about a nice, scale, IFS truck like this on the market from a mainstream dealer. It's truly a game changer. Looking forward to seeing these with other bodies and see what other companies jump in with similar chassis. Great video, bud! Excellent job showing off everything on the truck.
Personally I reckon a brushless combo would be better because it suffers less clearance to get over objects which means therefore you will need a faster motor to give you more momentum
That’s pretty much an rtr doll house truck. And with the plastic suspension, I could see a ton of upgrades available for this. I would buy one if you could ditch the leafs. Very cool video dude. Can’t wait to see what you do with this thing. 🤘
If you could find a 4th gen Ram truck that would fit it, it would make a good Ram Runner platform. It would be nice to have a good IFS, solid rear axle rig to make scale builds off of that aren't race trucks. Since all new Toyota, Nissan, Chevys, trucks are IFS along with the half ton Ford and Dodges. It looks killer, but there are kits with more metal for the same amount of cash...
Is there something I can buy to change out the HERO name for FORD? Where do you find the right size action figures to put in these trucks with removing legs? Also, is that a working steering wheel?
There are several 3d printed FORD letter sets available already for it, check out shapeways. No idea about the action heros, the steering wheel doesnt actually work.
Hah. I would totally stuff a Castle 5700kV 4-pole brushless motor in the nose, throw a sensored ESC in there, and get that thing rippin' along at 35-40MPH. It'd be one of those 'Don't crash it' ass-haulers.
What is a "desert truck"? It's not a buggy, not a bouncer, not a rock racer, not a crawler. I assume from the suspension that it is supposed to go fast? But, it's 4x4 with lots of extra body weight. I don't know what this is. Is it just supposed to be a scale version of a regular pickup to toodle around on mostly level ground? And why in the desert? There's lots of better configurations for that.
Man this truck is so cool! I really hope it takes off and they make loads of hop-up parts! Imadgine a scale 2 or 6 inch lift kit, or different wheels and tires! Someone will make a "FORD" front end at some point. I saw a video where the HERO letters just pop out.
great review brother!!! I am kind of torn on this truck, lots of plastic but great scale looks, seems kinda toyish but with some detailing it would really come to life. I just have one question for you, in your honest opinion, to you, is it worth what you paid for it??? to me it seems very over priced for all that plastic. I would really appreciate your answer cuz I truly respect your opinion and your love for the hobby, stay groovy bro;)
I dont feel cheated at all. I saved a little getting it without electronics. But overall I love it. Still havent driven it so i dont know how fast its going to be but as far as quality I dont feel short changed. The plastic suspension parts really feel solid but not to the point of being brittle. It wont run short course tracks with slash's but I feel its durable enough for scale bashing.
Looks good but what a bummer no opening hood would be awsome if a RC4D V8 and a scale transmission could be installed now that would be a really nice detailed rig.Seems like a lot of plastic for the cost.
I thought when I saw the teaser shots earlier this year it would be better than it is. I'm sure it's durableish...but looks too toyish. I wish they had just waited and improved the platform a little before distributing it. but hey it's nearly what most of us want.
It is in the bag from the beginning. It is all metal and included. Not sure why it didnt come installed. This is the ARTR version with no electronics or motor.
RC Everyday thanks for the info. I am guessing that they expect you to remove the trans to install the motor and left the shaft out to ease the installation. Just a guess. Great vid as always! Keep up the great work!
@@RCeveryday ok. I love ur channel bro. One of my favs for sure. You inspired me to start my own rat rod build. Ill dm some pics once im at halfway poing
I love that manufacturers are coming out with more scale trucks like this
I'll admit at first glance I thought, too much plastic and too toyish but right after you flipped it on its side I was blown away. The under carriage is amazing! The transfer case and don't get me started on those control arms! Ay yayay!!!!
Honey I shrunk the truck ! Damn the details are awesome. The bed depth, opening tailgate and doors are icing on the cake. Cheers !
The thumb nail makes it look like a real one with the sweet back ground
Dude i've been waiting for a review of this truck for a while! And again you didnt dissapoint! Thats one beautiful truck! Gotta get my hands on one of those! AWESOME!😎👍
That rat rod with tracks is so cool
This thing is sick
Your excitement is making me want one...Cool truck great video!
Very cool bro. I agree, nice truck to take the rods out or scale pics. Haul a camper or the rock racer to the comp. Lol. Thanks for getting the video up.
You just got me to order one of these. Great unboxing! 👍

Yes I was thinking the same, a 🐀 rod hauler,cool truck😎😎😎🆒🆒
Honestly that thing would be a nice trail rig straight out the box

Dam, looks like a real TRUCK! Cool as Hell. Ok, RC4X4, SILVERADO 👍😃
These white box foam are pretty nice for cutting as waterproof tirefoams.
Man that thing is so sweet. Truly a great looking truck. Great video!
Yes

Wow beautiful truck! RC4wd really nailed with this one. Lookin forward to a trail/crawl vid..

I see a lot of aluminum after market in this model's future.
Looks cool gotta tint the tail lights red though they just don't look right
that truck is insane!!
Not a ford guy myself but your right, super bad ass!!! And just like the real truck, the cab has to be removed to pull the motor lmao
That is pretty badass! Damn that’s cool! 👍👍✌🏻- I really dig those diesel rat rods you got there, those are pretty damn cool too!
Where do you get that scale car lift and tool boxes? Nice setup
Where can I get a truck like and what is price
@@richarddonalds4759 Right dawg soon real soon. And better than expected with more extres than needed. Enjoy====😶🤓👍👍💯

Price
You could totally make a scale budget lift for it using lift blocks and coil spacers like a lot of real truck owners do
That's a bad a** looking Ford truck 😁👍👍
Really nice truck.
I seen this one n looks like a awesome kit, I need one in my life 😂
Not too many left on the manufacturer's Amazon store, apparently.
PH-011D Is the ID number of the builder for quality control. Like Ford did on the Cobra engines.
I love it. But I will never have one due to the cost.
No resale value
Spectacular!!
sweet, bring that truck over and lets test it out!
Im still trying to rob electronics for it, lol. Hoping to get it running this weekend.
hi, what kind of motor did you use for this truck? i am trying to buy one but i dont know the type of the motor and the attachments
Just love looking at your garage. Hard to concentrate on the truck - but it looks good too. Nice key-chain ;-)
Very nice!
If you could find a 4th gen Ram truck that would fit it, it would make a good Ram Runner platform.

axle swap and lift would be sweet
nice RC Everyday video
Very nice video

So cool
What is a "desert truck"? It's not a buggy, not a bouncer, not a rock racer, not a crawler. I assume from the suspension that it is supposed to go fast? But, it's 4x4 with lots of extra body weight. I don't know what this is. Is it just supposed to be a scale version of a regular pickup to toodle around on mostly level ground? And why in the desert?

A question where do you buy these?

Just saw another unboxing of this and it had a different number engraved on it so you might be lucky with your number
Solid axle swap with a lift kit
Cool unboxing Sir👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
that looks good!
Very cool. It would be pretty easy to make a dual exhaust system using automotive brake line and mini tubing bender.
Lol woah I thought the thumbnail was a real garage
Nice vid.
Nice job bud,im sure once people start pirating parts from that itll open alot of doors to some cool builds.
Thats pretty cool !!!-
@RC Everyday I’m wondering where you got that garage diorama. Perfect display piece
I built it from scrap wood. I have some older videos showing how I made it and where I got all the little scale details
great review brother!!! I am kind of torn on this truck, lots of plastic but great scale looks, seems kinda toyish but with some detailing it would really come to life.

thanx bro
Long bed c10 Chevy body on that drive train start cutting up them rc4wd blazers lol the your work
I recommend adding Method Race wheels from Vanquish
not sure you can it's not a conventional way of installing them....
Looks good but what a bummer no opening hood would be awsome if a RC4D V8 and a scale transmission could be installed now that would be a really nice detailed rig.Seems like a lot of plastic for the cost.
Gives hobbyists something to do. It looks like they covered everything else.
Hey man we’re did you get that truck at I really won’t one 👌🏽😏😏
Love it..!!
I'm gonna be sand casting me a bunch of parts out of 6061 aluminum
I already have ideas to lift it
Imagine this chassis design with front mounted nitro
PUT A LIFT KIT IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!AND BIGGER TIRES!!!🤘😍🤘
They got to make a chevy
Woooooouuuu nice vídeo brooooo
Put TRX4 Defender next to it ☺️
I dont have one anymore.
What’s the height on the tires? Mine comes in tomorrow and have some Goodyear mt’s for it
Cool
The micro car on the mini toolbox
I thought when I saw the teaser shots earlier this year it would be better than it is. I'm sure it's durableish...but looks too toyish. I wish they had just waited and improved the platform a little before distributing it. but hey it's nearly what most of us want.
I’m not a ford guy. But if I had a ford rc and when it gets stuck I’ll blame it on the ford lol. 😂
Says he is not a ford guy, has a ford ratrod in the background👌🏻
@@davekessing2266 Ford stopped making good trucks in the late 70's.
Okay I want to order one officially
You could pull a camper with that. 😉
Awasome
Please leave it Gray!!!!!!!!
Would a 6 inch figure fit inside?
Ps..is the servo mount for the diff locks full size or micro servo mount?
Its for a full size servo. Lots of room under there
Holy shit I want one! But I already have a vaterra raptor...
Wish it was four door model
Its actually made by JD Models not RC4WD, which in my opinion is a good thing but I cant stand how RC4WD takes all the credit
Every product I have had from JD Models has been extremely nice. RC4wd is more like a distributor of their products.
I agree
@@RCeveryday how much
store.rc4wd.com/search.asp?keyword=desert+runner&www=
$469 for the one I got with no electronics.
I would like to see if the doors open when the truck is rock crawling
The latches feel very solid. But this isn’t really a rock crawler.
cool, F150 lowrider))
Did I miss something or is the driveshaft between the transmission and transfer case missing?
It is in the bag from the beginning. It is all metal and included. Not sure why it didnt come installed. This is the ARTR version with no electronics or motor.
RC Everyday thanks for the info. I am guessing that they expect you to remove the trans to install the motor and left the shaft out to ease the installation. Just a guess. Great vid as always! Keep up the great work!
Thats my guess as well. I have not taken the trans apart yet to see how the motor attaches. Thanks for checking it out!
Where can i buy?
Its made by jdmodels. Rc4wd is the us distributor
Yes sir, previously discussed in the comments.
@@RCeveryday ok. I love ur channel bro. One of my favs for sure. You inspired me to start my own rat rod build. Ill dm some pics once im at halfway poing
can you send me the link to buy it?
@@RCeveryday thx for the link
Where can i but one like that one
Can you please tell me
Cool but to much new bride plastic specially the rear axle and lower control arms
How about a fast and furious set of cars?
Where can I order one from?? In south Africa plz help
Awesome :)
