what a beautiful piece of kit there Gavin, loved the running video and yes the potential of this kit is second to none definitely will be adding this to the collection thanks for sharing cheers from Down Under Budd
You should have a look at Danny Huynh's channel and see how he makes his annimatronic 1/6 scale figures Gavin,he's made some awesome rigs with drivers that move using servo's,that rig is crying out for a scale driver,or maybe even an action man figure would look awesome😊
Looks like you could do something full scale guys do to lift their trucks by flipping the axle under the springs. That and removing a few leaves may help.
Great video very informative. Thanks for the tip on the front signal light buckets. I ordered the truck I will be glueing those on mine when I get it and probably doing something about the spare tire as well.
Great video and review Gavin. I love my Jimny. Luckily I already had a battery and charger already. I also have a suitable driver and passenger for it.
Gavin. Design yourself a little elasticated foam cover for the transmitter steering wheel. You can use it on all of your transmitters and have your logo on it. No more annoying hard plastic.
That is one awesome looking trail truck/jeep, and it goes pretty well too by the look of it. Would I buy one? Probably not, but I can see the appeal of it, but I'm more of an on-road guy. Great video as always!!
I had a reel one of these back in the late 70/s and they were a soft top with canvas clip-on doors that just lifted on and off. I also had offroad mags and wide tires and that thing would go anywhere and if they do get bogged you just get out and pick the back up and shift it across and off you go. They are really light in the back. I just got my 1/6 scale today and am looking forward to trying it out but like you said it is screaming out for some mods like fats and off-road mags.
@@AsurasWrath164 yeah, going by google that model of ESC comes in 2 versions a crawler and normal brushed version, neither support programming cards. As that is the crawler version the only way option you have is to change to boat mode which will disable the drag break and limit the reverse throttle to 25%.
It’s cool, but pick up an Axial SCX6 if you want to experience a proper large scale trail truck. It’s an absolute blast. Haven’t touched a 1/10th truck in weeks now.
Now where is my old Tonka Toy, I have a spare motor and servos ??!! Think you would be better throwing your money at a Roc Hobby WWII willys jeep, much nicer. However beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that garb !
Yep not for everyone. I'm trying to add more content from all pockets of RC interest. It's funny as I like my 1/10th buggies most of all ,but adding road cars, mini crawlers, a truck and budget RTRs have really opened me up to different RC experiences. I hope to add some planes, tanks and helicopters next year.
Thats why it is called a hobby, you always have things to repair, optimize, clean, tune up .................

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew, it was fun filming the running footage.

Nice Rig and nice Video.

I would love to see you mod the suspension!
Nice bit of kit, I have the Rochobby 1/6 willys jeep absolutely superb and really good detail.
I hear good things about the 1/6th. I have just got the baby brother in for review
It’s crying out for a Matt paint finish and a driver figure. Would an action man or similar kids action figure fit?
Great review as usual.
Beautiful
I think if you get the right program card you can adjust the drag brake. Great video mate and the jeep looks awesome.

You should do a show about what’s better with Tamiya xb or Tamiya kits
Tamiya XB is basically a factory built Tamiya kit that's RTR.
Subscribed!!
The driver figure could be the joker with no feet 😁
Someone will 3D print doors and a proper cabin/roof. Modders dream come true.
Hope so, that would be cool.
Hmmm. 🤔 I've been looking for a vehicle for my Terror-Billy 12" man dolly....do they make a Halftrack? 😂

Great video (as always). Seems a bit clunky to me but as you say it needs some major detailing and a driver. It has a it place but not for me.
Great 👍 video Gavin like to see when you have updated
Will do
hi gav ,what was the little crawler that tomley sent you that you used whilst on holiday in another video
You have a good memory Dan. That was an Element Enduro24 Sendero RTR. I still have it :)
Ha ha ha, well I could fib about my memory ,but I watched the previous video it featured in . Thanks for the prompt reply. Loving the content Gavin .
Yes it's crying out for a driver, perhaps a D.I.D 1/6 military figure, an Action man or, if you want to push the boat out, a Hot Toys figure.
Looks like toy we had in the 1970’s for G.I. Joe dolls….
Time to break out your ActionMan as a driver figure.
Now where is my old Tonka Toy, I have a spare motor and servos ??!! Think you would be better throwing your money at a Roc Hobby WWII willys jeep, much nicer. However beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that garb !
The Roc Hobby WWII Willys does look cool. I haven't had one so I can't say myself.
Not my cuppa tea...(not fast enuff😉) but i can see the appeal, with some mods a driver figure and a bit of weathering could be good👍

Nice video, just needs a driver to add to the reality.
Absolutely
Can you stop buying old rc car keeping well-known car
?
Don't like the Jimny would of looked far better as a ww2 jeep/land rover
Rochobby 1/6 Willy's jeep is awesome.
Horrible looking thing imo
