- As the foot heals, we're going deeper down the RC rabbit hole! Today we talk about RC crawlers and the popular 1/10 scale size vs the growing 1/24 variety.

The addiction is getting worse, but my foot is getting better. The surgery went well, and doc says I should be sorta kinda mountain biking by Spring. Stay tuned for new things in Moonshangle Thickets!
We all hope you get well soon. And don’t rush your recovery to much to the point where you hurt yourself. Thanks for still putting out awesome content giving the circumstances.
Can you make a video on different cameras. I’m looking into getting either a canon g7x or EOS Mark ii but don’t know much about the subject
u need to say thanks 4 driving with me today at the end
Thanks for posting today Seth, history class was getting boring
Why didnt you talk about the mercedes 6 by 6 in back of the video
Seth goes to therapist: therapist, "so is it a drinking problem". Seth: "no its buying rc cars"
😂🤣🤙
It’s not a problem, it’s a solution
The real problem is the injury which made it necessary to find a replacement for Mountainbiking.
but thats not a problem
Rc cars are amazing
It’s the best day when you get a berm peak notification.
Yep😂
yea
for sure
heck yeah
Absolutely
I can’t thank you enough Seth! My boy and I headed out to HobbyTownUsa yesterday and picked up the C10 and the Deadbolt!
Spent all day in the woods with these awesome little crawlers! Upgrades are on their way! You Sir, rock!
me: “bro come on i follow for bikes”
also me: *continues to watch intensely as seth talks and takes videos on rc cars*
Ikr it’s like a magnet 🧲
Seth looks 10 times younger when he shaves😂
He really does😂
Every time😂
He looks 12!😂
Really? He seems to look worn out and thinner
@@wasabisdaddy I really wanna write "well no shit sherlock" but I'm going to be nice. He's been recovering for quite some time now. I partially torn my tendons in my right knee last year, which led to "only" 5 months of resting the leg. Which I am bad at, since when I broke my thumb at 10 yrs old, I rode bmx in skatepark for 14 days with the cast on my left wrist... 5 months of riding a bike using my left leg (cause I'm just stubborn and my arms are too weak to handle walking on crutches to and from college), and my right leg got to about three quarters of the size it was before. Quite literally. I have jeans, that are slim fit, which fit me almost as leggings would. After the 5 months, they were loose around my right leg with about a 3-4cm gap...
The cycle starts again. I see a similar interest and level of passion here. Keep it up! Owned my first full suspension for about a year now and you got me thinking of my first RC car!
Hawe you bought one yet?😅
He should make a rc trail!
He really should
He needs to
Ok… now that would be sick
He has one
@@randumest1481 where
Seth, I feel like the addiction is getting worse....
Facts
I don't mind too much because I'm into RC cars and MTB.
But yeah it's growing on him lol
it is my friend
Berm peak express is becoming RC express
@@andymtb5714 me neither
“If I get any more rc my wife will kill me”
Also Seth just one more ...
lol
Well he gets to justify it for his income... I would too!
N+1
Seth: “with truck mannerism”
Also Seth: scrapes the back bumper off the line like a drag racer
100% agree on getting the small-scale first! I recently got one, I wanted to get the 1/10 trx4 so bad. But all in, that's at least 600 bucks when you factor in the cost of the battery & the charger if you don't already own one. I picked up a 1/24th scale instead, had literally everything I needed in the box to run it as soon as I got home, even came with batteries for the radio. It's a blast to set up little courses using random household objects in my living room, but truthfully I really don't use it that often, so I'm glad I didn't shell out six or seven hundred bucks on the 1/10 scale. I think I'm going to get one eventually, I do have a few places near me that would be fantastic for a large scale crawler, but I'll wait till the weather gets better.
I did a 24 scale for almost 2 years before I straight up built a kit. You can ball out or save with a kit. The painting process is a blast too.
Most rtr trucks have a kit counterpart.
MTB: spending $200 to reduce weight
RC: spending $200 to add weight
xD
No reducing weight is also a thing on rc it depends what your crawling on
Me: those RCs look like a fun indoor activity during these days, I'll buy one.
Seth : They come with a bunch of extra parts and accessories.
Me : oh, no, here we go again...
Have a traxxas summit. something like a 1\8 monster truck. Bit more of a basher than a crawler, but does come with a low gear...
And drive train and suspension is more or less all after market parts now after snapping or twisting various parts due to the twin motor setup, have a set of tracks to throw on, those cost a fair bit..
Yah, fun hobby xD
Now we just need a ten-scale Seth to ride inside of his RC trucks 😂
That was one of the best explanations I've ever heard of getting into RCs
I just wanna say thanks Seth. I was watching the rc crawler videos and soon after I bought a 12 scale rc Jeep for around $70 on Amazon and it is my new favorite pass time. I think the rc content is a good idea. Keep it up. 👍
He is definitely addicted now, I mean he spent 1 million dollars on a Mercedes 6x6.
Nope they are like $600 bucks at most.
haha, that thing is a beast. My buddy at Traxxas sent that over, and I honestly couldn't even believe it.
@@RealJawnes he's talking about the real 6x6 that cost a mil
@@BermPeakExpress when are you going to use that beast
@@RealJawnes Good job genius
dude when found out seth was making rc car vids I was so hyped. I love rc cars and have been bashing for around 3 years.
Same!!!
Got already 2 of the 1/24 scale ones. Love em! Thanks for heading me in that direction.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. This perspective is super helpful and completely breaks me out of stuck mode as I try to get into RC Crawling. This was just incredibly helpful.
Not gonna lie....I'm currently on Ebay looking at RC Crawlers haha. Love this stuff!!
I’ve been doing RC crawling since I was eight and not gonna lie it’s been so much fun, also just funny to see a tiny car go like seventy degrees upwards on a rock bed and make it over easy.
Watch kevin talbot he gives good recommendations
@@daraghmythen1198 he gives good recommendations from bangood
If you’re getting a micro crawler I recommend getting the Axial SCX24 or if you want a 1/10 scale get the Redcat Gen 8 or Gen 7 pro
He should get a kickback im buying mine
As soon as I got the notification I moved faster than the speed of light
same

Same was here at 25sec
Didn’t we all
Same my dude
I love that you're also into R/C, Seth. It's such a great companion to riding MTBs. Yet another reason to get outside!
Love these rc videos as I’ve been into rc crawling for about 3 years now! And also mountain biking my entire life
I love how Seth is still making videos even though he is hurt
Gotta put food on the table I guess lol, props to his ingenuity tho
Exactly he’s trying his best to upload interesting content which is awesome
I think it’s time for a 3rd channel just for these RC crawlers...
I agree he should build a track to
@@kamdenfunk3302 The Ranger Station...
Lol your so right
Yessss
I really enjoy watching how you find creative ways to still make us viewers happy with your injury. I am exited for you to make mountain biking videos but in the meantime thanks for still putting out content!
Thanks for sharing these crawl videos. Reminding me of years ago when my late father tried seeing if my brother and I would be interested in these as kids. Now that I’m a much bigger kid I kinda wanna try again.
Man, 2 of my favorite things to do on one channel. Seth, you're great
4:46 we need a vid on that 6x6 monster Mercedes in the back.
that’s the traxxas trx6
@@Diego-eh2nm Well yes, but the body is a brabus-Mercedes g63 amg 6x6 soooo...
@@TrafimN definitely but us in the rc community know it as a trx6 and since it’s only the mercedes or the snap on tow truck that came in the trx6 base
@@Diego-eh2nm yes, that’s true, I do a bit of RC driving myself, I just kinda love cars and so naturally I want to call them by certain names but I guess yes, trx6 would be the more correct and technical way of saying it, and the shell around the RC car isn’t that important. But dang the car looks cool.
@@TrafimN it definitely is. I actually ordered one last night
One thing I absolutely love about the scx24 is that it uses the same driver bit all the way around the car
So Seth, I just got my first 1:24 crawler and I have to admit, you're absolutely right, the amount of fun you can have in such a small space with a micro is awesome! I have 1:10 scale cars including an Axial SCX10 Trail Honcho but today for the fun of it I bought an Enduro24 Sendero Trail Truck. Great little truck.
Dang-it Seth, stop making me want to start a new hobby.
yes i want to get a crawler now but have one but just have to fix it
@@flyinghighbmx8230 what ya got cuz honestly they are pretty simple to work on. and relitively cheap unless its electrics or HOPUP parts.
Full send!
@@zomgz932 trx4 and scx10 i have some bashers too
i dont really now but the front wheel drive went out and it is a 1/10 scale
Love the rc videos, just can’t wait till you get back on the bike :)
As a Mountain Biker who also has RC cars I also love the SCX24 and have modified mine a fair amount as well. Well done on some spot on content yet again Seth. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Had to have surgery on my hand and I’ve been out of bike riding for five months now. I got into RC cars doing speed runs by watching one of your RC jumping videos.
Keep it up!!
i love rc cars😍
Hey tusy huge fan bro i know you like mountain bikeing😉
I love TysyTube 😍 annnnd BERMPEX
Omgg
I watch your videos lol
I bet every mtbiker would
Seth just wanted to say thanks for the content while your healing
Micros are what brought me back to the hobby. They are fun and don't need a lot of space. Great vid!
I got into RC crawlers because of your videos on this...thank you! They’re so fun!
I always get sooooo exited when I see you uploaded. Hope your doing well. Also fun tip you can unplug the lights for the desk so you don’t get blinded.
I WAS doing school, notice how I said was.

French class can wait, I already know all this shit. Je pense que je comprend plus de français que professor qui instruite le course. Blah blah imparfaite et passer composer
Pfffft I’m totally in class...
Seth, this is a good look for you brotha! Cheers and have a speedy recovery all the best from Florida!
This channel went from building berms to bike reviews to RC cars...love you seth
Can we all appreciate that beautiful syncr in the background
Love the RC vids keep uploading!!!!
I will be honest with you. Every bike related stuff is really not my cup of tea, but every RV video I've seen from you are pure gold. Keep it up man. I bought my first crawler last week, SCX24 Wrangler. Amazing beast.
Very thorough and well put together video. Thanks for this.
Today 6 years ago, Seth started his Seth bike hacks/berm peak yt channel. Congrats Seth!
I’m so glad you got into rcs. I was literally thinking one day..... can u imagine if this guy got his hands on some rcs. And then the next day literally u came out with a micro crawler vid. Now look at ya. Ur obsessed like me lol!!
Man such a great take on so many different topics. Thanks and jeep it up 👍🏻
Very helpful and informative for a begginer like me, thanks keep up the good work!
I don’t know why this has helped me more than any other reviews
Seth! You should totally have Traxxas send you their Slash 4x4. You could ride it on Berm Peak and have so much fun with it! Like so he can see :)
isn’t that what they sent him? he did a video with a traxxas in it.
@@8.21productions9 Traxxas sent him some crawlers and an XMAXX as far as we know. However, to start out with a car that is fast and can jump, (aka not a crawler), you don’t want to spend that much money. The XMAXX is $$$$. The Slash would be a good entry point vehicle, and I’m sure would get numerous people into RC’ing.
Just getting into this hobby. Thanks for the video, very useful in helping me make a choice in which one to go with first. That slow crawl at the end was awesome, seeing that left front wheel off the ground just makes me giggle.
You did put a lot of upgrades into your micro. Very cool . Thanks for sharing
Seth is turning into an rc review channel and I like it
Please make your RC videos longer and more in depth. Love you Seth!! Get well soon!!
Ever since Seth has been makin videos about these it makes me want to build a course in my backyard for a micro crawler
bro thank you so much for this video! I'm looking into getting a crawler and this just makes so much sense
Another thing, at the lower weight and lower speeds that these go at, you won’t break parts as harshly or as often. My traxxas broke pretty quickly and haven’t fixed it since.
The best part about the big ones is they’re easy to work on and you can make them more your own. Motors, drivetrain, gear ratios, suspension, wheels, etc are much easier to upgrade
This is a good point. There is a lot more you can do with winches and custom light setups etc as well.
I love those little trucks, and it's all thanks to Seth. He's not joking about how capable they are or how much fun they are.
Dude, I'm a huge RC nut, but got into bikes not too long ago and I subscribed to your awesome channel. But I see that you've been reviewing Rc's too, I love you man!
Next year you’ll see seth with his new drift car.
No one:
Seth : how to discretely use your rock climber in the park
Awesome!! Recently retired and looking to get into the hobby!! Can’t wait to buy my first mini and start crawling
Thanks seth I got this really helped me figure out which crawler to get I got the Axial SCX 24
I personally started with 1/10 as there wasn’t much options in the 1/24. I had 9 big crawlers before I bought my first micro crawler, and man are they good! In my opinion, they are more enjoyable (depending on the terrain) than some of my 10th scale. I have 11 micros crawlers now, still an addiction
1 year later: "Should you buy an RC Crawler, or build a full-size?"
Not the same price range at all, but I get the joke
@@mrskitz338 man's gonna be balls deep in a real crawler, but they're pretty fun.
A lot of the RC crawler guys I talk to at our local shop actually come from the full size comp crawler scene but are tired of all the costs associated with a real life rig.
I dont care if its bike related, I love old school bike makeovers actual shredding or this new RC stuff. Regardless I'd watch everything you do. It's so well produced and always entertaining
Super great video and information about what new people just starting this new hobby. Also great to point out the small Crawlers.
I'm addicted becouse of you, Thanks Man!
Thanks, it means a lot to me, i am a big fan
This has literally turned into a rc channel
I've watched a bit of your content over the past few days and I love your relaxed but enthusiastic approach to your videos. I'm the other way around, been into rc since the 80s but (apart from some national level bmx as a kid) looking to get a hard tail and do some MTB. I feel this channel could be a fitting home for me. Very interested in building a 1/24 layout too. Hope you've recovered. Subscribed. Neil.
Love this new rc content on the channel! As we can't really move in France I spent my time on fpv drones that also need lots of time to control!
There is always an extra clip at the end of his vids
If Seth finds out about hardbodies and all the detail and accessories for them his addiction is going to get 10x worst
like TF2 he is done
Just ordered a Redcat Gen 7 Pro for my first RC crawler. Can't wait to take it out!
This video helped me through one of the worst days of the life your one of my favorite youtubers thank you
Is anyone else gonna say how much younger he looks after he shaved?
Love the new look Seth!
Everyone that’s been asking me what rig I would recommend ALWAYS gets me with the same answer as yours.
Get a tiny crawler, you won’t be out of a lot of money AND you can take it literally EVERYWHERE
I love the rc content so much please keep doing it
Thanks for this ! I was just browsing through the 10 scale prices....not there yet! Definitely going micro!
I wonder if he will eventually make a trail just for his RC's....
He makes so good videos he can literally shit and it’s going to be interesting 😂
9:40 love that crawl at the end - those are the best when you're at the perfect angle that the front wheels juuust come up but it still manages to stick. And you just hear the motor workin' hard to keep it going haha
I love RC cars and appreciate your enthusiasm. There's a mtb park about a mile from my house thats about to open in spring. I dont have a mtb but I have multiple 10th scale rcs. KEEP UP THE RC CONTENT!! also i watch because of you and your editing style and to learn about mtb's cuz im stoked to ride the new park!!!
Every one of those micro crawlers is sold out. Guess you're doing a good job promoting them Seth!! 😂
Let’s say that the channel is going to be about etc cars a lot MORE
Cool video, thanks for sharing your thoughts and content!
Great video man! I love my SCX24! Another fun thing about them, is that there are a TON of 1/24 scale plastic models that you can make into a hard body for your micro crawler!
I have a feeling he’s gonna buy a real Jeep now
"locking diffs"?! My real SUV doesn't even have that, best I got is LSD. These have come a long way since I last had an rc car.
Took me a while to realise you were taking about limited slip differential. I thought LSD was.... Er... Something else 😂
After a number of Seth's RC videos, I too have become hooked on RC... Bought my first truck last week, broke the body and the steering. Thanks Seth, for continuing to spend my money for me!
Got a UTB18 Capra last summer, and I love it!
So much tinkering to do if you want, and if you use it slow and steady as crawlers should, then it's almost no repairs needed, unlike previous basher RC's I've had in the past.
i would suggest a 1/10 over a micro. much more capable and easier to work on for beginners. furthermore the 1/24 scale are wayy more prone to breaking.
I’ve had a 1/24 for 3 years and never have broken a part. I’ve broken so many parts on the 1/10 scale.
I told my wife that it’s better to start out with a micro too.
Ok.
Lol.
I just picked up my first crawler a few weeks ago. The scx24, this video is spot on. I'm going to finish upgrading the bronco and move on to the trx4 bronco.
Love the RC content! Have fun out there :)
