I am the first to admit that I'm a Traxxas fan boy but I find myself owning just as many Redcat Vehicles now in my opinion everything they put out in the past few years has been quality
This is a older model to they make great stuff for the money to there a bit cheeper on price but deliver good quality rc products I own 3 and like them all thanks for checking it out brother 😁✌🏻👍🏻😎
Nice I'm more of an Axial/Arrma fan but also own Redcat, traxxas & Losi
@@speedfreak8200 yeah I honestly I just love our RC's in general, have a great weekend🖒👊💯🇺🇸🕇

That is awesome I have pitbull growlers on mine now vaterra shocks and a proline 53 Chevy truck body 🤘🏻💯😀👍🏻
Your crawler track is very well thought out, intricate, ridiculously impressive! That Ridgerock didn’t crawl through! Instead it walked through! I’m going to order one. Thanks!!! I’m subbed!
Thank you very much the ridge rock is great still have mine
Thats the funniest music I ever heard set to an RC video! ....very dramatic, I kept expecting the crawler to perish in flames🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂😂thanks for watching my friend I appreciate it 😂💯
@@AdventureTimeRC I bought one of these a few weeks ago and was pretty impressed, especially for the $129 price tag! I have some really expensive planes and rc trucks that really have nothing superior on that crawler. I wound up taking the foam out of the tires and it actually grabs better and is quieter if you can believe it. Hey how about for your next video you set the crawling to Godsmack? for some reason Im thinking "voodoo" would be funny as hell!!!!🤣
What a magnificent backyard crawler course!
I like the Ridge Rock´s cage-style body, and there´s a lot to be said for the "motor in axle" configuration.
I agree the motor on axle design has some advantages for center of gravity especially thanks for the great comment my friend 👍🏻😎😀✌🏻
Wow! Awesome crawler for the price! Way to go Redcat! Awesome crawling course there too! Keep up the great work!
Thanks allot brother it's a great crawler so cheep so good have a good week my friend and thanks for stopping by ✌🏻😎👍🏻
That's cool! It's great now a days you don't have to spend a lot of money to get out and have fun trailing or crawling. good trucks for very reasonable prices out there now. Nice video.
It is awesome the amount of available budget crawler s out there thanks for watching brother 😁😎👍🏻✌🏻
Dang , that is one sweet coarse and of coarse truck! Just bought on of these around the holidays! T’was too hard to pass up for under $100! Love the music and video! As always you do an amazing job brother!👍🏻👊🏼👍🏻❤️✌️
Iys a amazing truck still drive mine allot thank you for watching my friend I appreciate it 👍💯
Redcat is stepping it up I love the Everest 10 laegendary is also stepping it up... keeping crawlers 300 or less is what will make these companies a lot of money plus they will make a lot of money off the parts in the add-ons what if the prices are too high people won't purchase them especially the economy we're living in right now it's kind of hard
This rc seems to be really good, the test run and crawling is excellent, super new rc and nice review !!
Thanks allot Pascal I am very happy with it turned out to be a good deal 😀😎👍🏻👍🏻
@@AdventureTimeRC 😊👍
awesome video i have had mine for a few a litle while now and i love it,great crawler

Just ordered one, can't wait to start crawling!
Awesome its a excellent crawler thanks for watching my friend 💯😀

Thanks Wyane glad you told me about this one its great really cant beat it😁😎👍🏻✌🏻
I'd like to thank Wayne Kibbler as well for also turning him on.
Hiya Brent! That sure is a lot of performance for the money, and boy the articulation is insane! Great overview of the rig and a proper test on the crawling course, great job my friend! :))
👍👍👍
Thanks allot Mark it is a great performer for the money it blew my mind I have high end crawler s that cost 4 times the amount and this could compete with them thanks for stopping by my friend hope you have a great start of the week😁✌🏻👍🏻😎
@@AdventureTimeRC Cheers Brent, hope you have a great week too, buddy!! :))
Cool truck never heard of it, thanks for info buddy 🤘😎

Great stuff well done.

So amazing video! Keep up the super awesome work 👍
Thanks allot my friend 👍🏻😎✌🏻
Grayson has one of these coming. One of my customers wanted a guitar I’ve got here at the shop, told him if he grabbed one of these for us he could have the guitar. Looking forward to seeing how capable it really is
These are great with some 20kg servos and soft tires like pitbull rock beast it will put the gen8 to shame they really are amazing my dad has one and we both put them up against crawlers 3 times the cost he will love it
@@AdventureTimeRC I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to do way more obstacles than I can with the scout. But the scout is still way cooler 😂
Really dig your backyard crawler course! Been thinkin bout putting 1 in my garage.
Thanks that would be cool imgur the winter gets a bit cold out in mine I have tried emailing you but it bounces my message back if you want to try mine its brentcover7762@gmail.com
this little guy is awesome, what you get for the money... you can have fun modding and upgrading, ... but great stock out the box...
They really are I love this truck I have done allot out work on it looks very different now has a 53 Chevy truck body ✌🏻😁👊
Damn that looks like a pretty sweet rig
Thanks Michael its pretty sweet especially for the price ✌🏻👍🏻😎😁
Hmmm... might have to make this my next purchase... nice video.
Thank you very much it is a great truck im still driving it 😀

Redcat makes some cool low price rigs this is my first 1/10 scale redcat my other 2 are 1/5 the rock slide looks cool haven't tried one👍🏻😎✌🏻
Just got mine yesterday! SO worth the money!!!
It really is a great crawler cant beat it for the price thanks allot for watching my friend 😀👍🏻✌🏻💯
Great run bro. These are good trucks 👍👍
They really are I'm enjoying it thanks for watching brother 😀😎👍🏻✌🏻
Subbed after this great job
Hoping to get this for my birthday
Thanks allot my friend I hope you get one very fun👍🏻💯🤘🏻😀
Yes I did! Just ordered it today!
I know I'm a year late, but cool review! I'm definitely picking one of these up for my Son for Christmas so we can crawl together. Nice backyard course too! If you haven't done a video on it you should. Great video!
Thank you very much I have done many videos on it and its grown allot lol this is a great rig still have it
Cut down body, bigger tires, thinner shock oil, better servos, 30mm spacers for wider stance to eliminate rubbing due to servos and bigger tires. All of that has been done.
Next is steel suspension and steering links. Get a new better scale body, upgrade esc and motors
I have a 53 Chevy truck body on it now weighted 2.2 pitbull growlers and vaterra Ascender shocks next is the servo s these truck s are great thanks allot for watching and commenting I really appreciate it 👍🏻😁😀
Like #34 she crawls good brother 👍🏾
Thanks brother and thanks for the shout out appreciate that allot 👍🏻😎✌🏻😀
Love my ridge rock! Subbed ya man
Thanks allot brother I'll get ya back the ridge rock is a beast ✌🏻😎👍🏻
Nice crawl 👍🏾
Thanks brother 😁😎👍🏻✌🏻
Hi new to your channel great video and footage very nice indeed well done thanks for sharing cheers 🍻 got my support and new subscriber here 👍🇬🇧
Thanks allot I really appreciate it I'll go check you out and getvya back 👍🏻😎✌🏻
Adventure Time RC you’re welcome cheers
I got this as my first rock crawler and so far it has been amazing. There are only two things about it that bother me but they are not major. When I switch it into mode 2 for all wheel steering the front tires rubs onto the plastic rods underneath that you mentioned in this video. It only happens when the tires are turned the maximum distance to right or left. Sometimes they even rub on the cables that go to the front motor. The other thing I noticed is that it goes out of alignment fairly quick. Anybody know how to address these issues?
Edit: just realized that rear tires also rub onto the rods when going at faster speeds and doing full turn either way.
I have a Ridgerock and also have a Traxxas TRX4 sport, I grab the Ridgerock most of the time.. If the Ridgerock had portal-axles, wow, watch out because it would be almost un-stopable. The Ridgerock is only limited by the axle clearance but in many cases if the other two tires have sufficient grip you can push/pull the hung axle through..
The ridge rock is just fun i bought my dad one for Christmas last year he loves it to
Not bad at all... Nice crawling out there with it... :P
Thanks brother its suprising didn't expect that performance for a 100$✌🏻😎👍🏻
Brent that rig is doing good brother, awesome job bro
Thanks Javier it really blew my mind 100$ and someone can start crawling with this one had to buy one for dad for xmas lol he's 72 and wants to try crawling ✌🏻😎👍🏻
@@AdventureTimeRC oh that is cool brother, Family time brother, that's what I love about this hobby 👍✌
@@operation11charlieinc it really brings people of all ages together
@@AdventureTimeRC 👍✌🤙🙏
Wow! I just picked up a gen 7 pro and it’s really nice except for high center of gravity, but I sure like the 4 wheel steer! Nice video 👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻💪🏻❤️
Thanks allot I was really impressed by the performance I would like to try a gen 7 so many truck s so little room lol✌🏻😎👍🏻😁
i took the 4 wheel steer out of mine everyone always complained i was cheating lol
Lol voodoo! I think it’s sweet! It does make things easier for sure😁
@@rcsick3262 my new video is up check it out
Brilliant going bro she runs very nicely I Believe it’s the same Rockcrawler as the FTX Raven big thumbs up as always from me 👍👍😎
Thanks allot Kirk redcat does rebrand allot of there stuff so that would make sense it's a monster for the money have a great week my friend 😎👍🏻✌🏻😁
Adventure Time RC you to mate hope you have happy holidays to bro
I spent 180 on mine due to its popularity, but I'm not mad about it!
It really does crawl amazing
Really good content
Thanks for share fnd wonderful video 🍁🌹🍁🌹🍁🌹🍁🌹🚘🚗🚖🚕🚔🚓🚙🚘🚗🚖🚕
Thank you my friend I appreciate your kind words 😀✌🏻😎👍🏻
Sweet vid
Thanks allot brother 😁👍🏻😎✌🏻
Adventure Time RC np man
what are the advantages and disadvantages of estr crawler? when carrying 2 motors? Does the battery discharge faster? Is it easy to improve and get spare parts and accessories? How about the stock electronics? If I wanted to replace the esc with a better one ... what make, model and size should it be correct?

Rhe biggest advantage is all the weight is very low giving you a great center of gravity making it crawl better 👊💯
I just ordered mine today.
Nice its a great crawler 👍
This is the exact same as my FTX RAVINE , I got Wayne onto this Rc 👍hes got you onto it and hopefully more people will get onto how good this Rc is 😱As you now I've Modified mine to fit a Scale Jeep wrangler Body Shell with easy Mods, i think its the best Rc crawler out there for the Money👍 with the 4 wheel steering to it's got a Advantage over your normal crawlers, the only thing I changed is I put 20kg Servos on it because I added more weight for climbing and Changed the Wheels and it goes over anything 😱I think with my Mods its unbelievable bro👍👍, the Articulation is totally AMAZING 😱 A fantastic unboxing Brent and Fantastic crawling test on your Amazing course, 👍 if you need any pointers check my Mod vids out again bro, really enjoyed every minute of this video 👍😁👍
Kirk told me it was the Same as the ftx it really is a great crawler o have watched all your videos on yours I plan on doing the tires first then maybe some other mods thanks allot for watching Tony appreciate it brother ✌🏻😀😎👍🏻
@@AdventureTimeRC your welcome bro, you will love this Rc mate 👍🥰👍
From looking at it can the motors be upgraded to something bigger with the space provided on tnhe axles? Looks promising. Thx for this.
Unfortunately I think you would have to use the same size motor but it does seem to have plenty of power on the upside thanks allot for watching brother I appreciate it 🤘🏻✌🏻😁😎
Go 2 or 3 s lipo twice the speed & power
With a few upgrades it holds it's own against the capra no doubt. 👍
It really does great truck
Hi I have noticed in alot of videos of these crawlers that the back wheels see like they dont spin when they are under a load but the front will. Do you k how why they do this.i just want to find out before I buy one
Yeah it's not a big deal it has to motors so if the back wheels are bound the front can still spin freely they are very go crawler s I enjoy mine as much as my expensive ones
The rear dsservo won't center itself,I swapped radio & servo but still haywire.Could it be an electrical component?
You might have to adjust the servo horn or replace the horn to the one without the servo saver
What size is the battery compartment? Just bought this truck and want to buy extra batteries. TY
Also... any thoughts on making this rig water-proof? I would like to water proof mine, It seems they are pretty resistant right out of the box.
A 1500mah 2s will work nicely kind of hard to waterproof this esc they glue it in the case but i have had it in water many times so far so good
The only downfall is the front tires receive power first then you have to give it a little bit more power for the back tires to kick in that's the only downfall that I have with mine other than that I love this little crawler
Hey man, would you still consider this the best budget crawler out or has there been anything that has come out since that dethroned it?
got their "more toy grade" Danchee Trail Hunter for under 40 bucks, has good floppy flex, electric braking, and decent power. a little wimpy on the steering but still pretty capable.
I was wondering how the smaller version s did I saw they had 3 sizes
not really smaller, CA'd some body posts sideways on the top center section and fitted an HPI Jeep body on it. wheelbase about same as a WLtoys 12428 (my Virhuck clone). the stock body was 1/16 or 1/14, fit better over a typical toy crawler.
in eBay search 1/43 crawler.. www.ebay.com/itm/RC-Car-Mini-1-43-Rock-Crawler-Drift-Remote-Control-Monster-Truck-Highspeed-Toys/113557436710?hash=item1a708cf926:m:m4VbmhgSlelgnF7l8MYn-5w take the springs off the pogo sticks it'll outdo my Redcat 1/24 Sumo crawler at a lot of little indoor stuff even being bang-bang steering. did some "torture" to it and the transmitter so they both run a single 14500 AA size lithium-ion cell instead of being battery eaters.
simple 2x2 framing, aluminum window screen tortured to shape and hit with expanding foam (paddled into the mesh when fresh wet), easy to whip up a 1/24 or smaller "portable" indoor crawler course "board", 4' x 4' or by 5', that can be set at an angle from floor to wall to be easier or tougher at whim. the expanding foam on screen gets rigid when set, carve in details, wood glue to "primer" open cells before painting stuff. can be as simple or complicated, as pretty or fugly as you want, easily.
That is a sweet rig. Thx bro, I have been looking to get into a crawler & this looks like a great option. Do you think I will handle some sensored brushless power? 😂 lol
Lol great crawler but probably won't handle that lol thanks for watching brother 👍🏻😎✌🏻
FIRST COMMENT
That’s a great budget crawler Brent!
May have to get one of these bad boys...
She still holding up?
Holding up great I have done a few things to it but crawls like a champ🤘🏻😀💯👍🏻
Please, how to make this crawler a little bit waterproof? :). Thanks for your job! Well done
Its semi water proof from the factory have gotten mine pretty wet several times but if you really want water proof electronics use either conformal coating on the boards or corrosion x works pretty good
Articulation is addictive. =)
Yeah just something about watching it twist that looks cool✌🏻👍🏻😎
Looking nice for a 100$.. and it get DOWN on the rocks 🖒✔.NC MOUNTAINS Backyard RC AND MORE.🏞
Thanks allot it's a great crawler for the money you can't go wrong I think its going to be a fun one 👍🏻😎😀✌🏻
BOY. I know you spent time. Setting up that coarse
I did lol its still growing so much fun though thank you very much my friend I appreciate it hope you have a wonderful weekend 💯
Can this use a normal sized battery or is it limited to small
You can put bigger batteries in it
RC driver online kept calling it a toy grade..I had to check him on that lol
Yeah its definitely hobby grade I saw that to lol he corrected himself at the end I'm blown away by it stock it's very capable
@@AdventureTimeRC Heck yea..I think VRX is the OEM..They make the VRX BF-4 that is also pretty cool
@@philthyco1 that's a new one to me didn't know about that will have to check it out I got one of these for dad for Christmas lol love buying toys for a 72 year old
@@AdventureTimeRC Oh yea! He's going to love it for sure
Can you use a nicad battery?
I don't see why not should be ok
Subscribed right back family 👍💪🤙🤝🤜🤛
Thanks brother rc family rocks✌🏻😎👍🏻
This was my first ever crawler!
It's a good on keeps right up with my expensive ones thanks allot for watching my friend 💯👊😀👍🏻
Its definitely toy grade, but s good starter crawler i thought. It wasn't worth upgrading it, bought gen 7 sport. Life is good.
I'm still running mine I upgraded it and put a proline early 50s Chevy truck body on it still running pretty good thanks for watching I appreciate it
@@AdventureTimeRC I'm getting another one for extra parts, tire upgrade made a huge difference. The axles are bent some, from running it hard into rocks. Nothing but hours of fun using it. I wish my store had the Everest 10 but they don't carry them. Got my money's worth the first month, and it still works perfectly. Thanks.
Never listen to this with nice ear buds the music was just depressing. But just mute it because the video of it was cool. Maybe I’ll be getting one soon. But I’m still working on my Marksmen.
Lol yeah was going for dramatic 🤣 🙄
It's the Imex radio with more function lol
Exactly lol this truck is actually a re branded ftx ravine i like the functions of this radio the steering options are nice thanks for watching bro 😀💯
@@AdventureTimeRC Yup and VRX Racing is the OEM for them all lol
It kind of looks like a distorted Axial Capra
I can see that but you could buy 3 if these for the price of a capra lol the capra are sweet😎👍🏻✌🏻😁
This came out before the Capra though
Here's some3D printed shock to axle mount extensions I made. They do increase chassis clearance a bit, but they also allow full articulation, rather than having it limited one way by the motor casing. thangs.com/wordreet/Set-of-four-Ravine-Damper-Mount-Extensions-8mmstl-9615
I've added wheel weights by wrapping plumber's solder around inside the wheels then electrical tape over. Also axle weights sticky with car wheel weights on top of each servo. I love it! Specially with softer tires.
Thank you very much i have fully modified mine to 20kg metal gear servo s i also use plumbing solider lol have changed the beadlocks to better ones and have pitbull growlers on it and vaterra shocks even changed the body to a early 50s Chevy truck
@@AdventureTimeRC Heh, I recently acquired a '50 Ford panel van shell, just to see if it'll fit. And, yeah, I think it'll be reasonable, just to pretend it's a scaler anyway. 😉
@@wordreet love van bodies have one on my trx4
