This is one of the few channels that truly seems brand agnostic, greatly appreciated by us plebian consumers. You might not believe how many TH-camrs bent over backwards to pretend a major brand wasn't engaging in false advertising.
I really like to give them all a chance, and they all get treated equally for the most part. Sometimes my views upset people (and manufacturers) but that’s a small price to pay in the bigger picture
Yeah these redcat Valkyrie wov racing PD racing cars are all in the same platform and while they are not the most sophisticated cars in the world for the price they're pretty good
I had a feeling I picked my creators well. I'm glad to see we have similar taste reviews! However, @TomleyRC IS an artist!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Seriously, though, Yo and Tomley are a real treasure to the hobby and YT.
Add in razor rc and you've got my 3 favorite channels. I trust everything they say. I watch Talbot and Exocaged also but they're for entertainment more than info.
Yeah. On the money with this one… needs a few tweaks but takes a good bit of abuse 👌 oh… and probably one of the fastest out the box of all the 3s/4s 1/10’s
Well, you've had more good landings in one video, than I've had all year! Lol Looks pretty stout! Done blew my budget this month already, but if I was looking, this would be one. Great video! Thanks for keeping the honest videos coming:-)
Good to see some smaller brands thumbing their noses at the big boys! Id rather spend money with a brand that takes position action from feedback from their customers to make their products better. Nice job. 👍🏻
@@TomleyRC And when we get bored and want to try something else ( Because that is what we do) Your wallet does not have a huge gaping hole in it from the last car purchase. Some of these cheaper lines are a lot of fun. Trio jumps excellent.
This truly is very impressive. It flew through the air extremely well and took a real beating. I've seen a lot more expensive r/c's that you've tested that didn't hold up as well or not any better. Currently, the other brand has their truggy on sale for $240. I don't know about this truggy, but on the other brand there's a QR code to scan for the manual. This was great review and test.
Very nice to see they got this platform over there. I have the redcat Valkyrie version. And other than a few arms, steering links, and some driveshafts. That’s all I have broke and I got it on release day. It’s a tuff little truck. The one I send and don’t really worry bout it not coming back.
Hi I got back into the hobby because of watching your reviews and how you do your vids and have a few rc’ s that your have said are worth having and are great fun 👍
I couldn’t stop laughing! 😂 You beat that thing like it owed you money. You were laughing SO hard at 14:21 when you hit the railing and the entire left front tire and everything connected shattered off in pieces! Listening to you laughing so hard got me laughing even harder 😂 That was an epic beat down you have that thing!
That looks like a hell of a lot of fun. I do miss my bigger stuff though, but it's not easy carrying around a 6kg 1/8 nitro monster truck, and all necessary tools and accessories on a motorcycle. It's been 1/16 MJX, and Hobby plus 1/18 crawlers for me for the last few years, so still having fun in the hobby regardless. I've been sitting here for about 5 minutes since this video ended, and racking my brain to remember the diff, and shock oils I used to run in my cars. I set them all up the same, then tweaked if needed. Few degrees of toe out on the front will get it turning in. Combine that with 50-70-30 (F-C-R) diff oils, and 35w shock oil all round with maximum rebound. If you want to get fancy with the shocks, take out the pistons, and if they're 3 hole, drill them out to 1.5mm and run 75w oil. If they're 4 hole, drill them out to 1mm and run 70w, both with max rebound. Should get you in the ballpark of 3 wheeling through corners, turning on a dime, or 4 wheel drifting till you're bored of it depending on how happy you are with your trigger finger.
Still have a box of crystals from my racing days and remember the kaos when someone with the same frequency would fire up their transmitter in the pits mid race😅
As for all the boxes saying 2.4ghz still, most countries require any product with a transmitter of any kind, to have its frequency labeled on the box, so im assuming they do it still cause of that :)
Great little Truggy Phil. Handles and jumps well. The only thing I can say is it's almost 2025 and plastic shocks are so 1980's LOL. All RC Vehicles should come standard with Alloy Shocks.
I agree maybe but truly can not make everyone happy , this car on sale redcat for 239 takes skate parks like maxx speeds like a arrma , you can buy alloy shocks for 30/40 bucks , than these guys have sell the car for 350 and compete with brands at 300 , than sales they stand alone . You get your moneys worth drive it normal it last forever
I like when an RC comes out that Redcat also sells, as Redcat has sort of become a parts gateway for 'off brand' RC's. In Canada at least it's often cheaper to get vehicles like the TR10 from wherever, but parts from Redcat as previous 'wherever' the shipping is too high for small parts.
The 2.4 GHz band has been in use for wireless communication for decades, but its widespread consumer use in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth started around the late 1990s. While newer technologies have introduced alternative frequency bands (like 5 GHz for Wi-Fi), the 2.4 GHz band continues to be a critical part of modern wireless ecosystems.
Just bought 10 tickets for your Raffell. It’s the least I can do after such an amazing year of content and inspiration. My hobbies is now set in stone!
Yet another great video as always, seems a fair price for what you get and if you didn't break anything major with those jumps, I can't see your average Joe doing any damage, 👌
Good afternoon Sir Mr. Tomley. After viewing this most titillating content ,I must agree on the opinion of such a nimble and ruggedly pleasing piece of kit. If i do say so myself. Furthermore I have developed the sudden urge to purchase this beastie
Trio.... Thats the name of my favorite plate at the seafood restaurant 😅 Perhaps it was three guys/gals creating it. It performs very good. Body kinda ugg but i am sure the fenders are cut out for clearance and for this price range cannot complain. You can always fo your own body and after some hard bashing you will be needing another eventually. Pretty cool rig.
oH bUt YoU wErE pUrPoSeFuLlY hArD oN tHe MiNi MaXx This thing took a true beating which has convinced me to get the redcat version. Good review as usual.
I hope they come out with upgrades for it. It’s a great truck red cat has one called the Valkyrie and they haven’t got no upgrade yet and wov racing their arms are a little different but no upgrades yet
PD Racing Trio in UK, Redcat Valkyrie in US, T2M Black Pirate in France, Germany and other EU countries...but the question is : who is the real (chinese) manufacturer of this car ? The rebranding still has a bright future 😅
Damn this looks promising! Took one hell of a smashing and only split a shock end cap??? Haha God-Like, move over MT10! Wonder if the Brushed version will have the same diffs shocks and drive shafts? Hope you can review the brushed version asap! ❤❤❤❤❤
Just a heads up about the brushed version, the drive train is not the same as the brushless version. The brushed version does not have a centre diff, the brushed version is listed in the parts manual with either a slipper or fixed spur. Both front & rear diffs in the brushed version are different as well, their's also no centre brace either.
Hells bells Phil, did that thing insult your wife.?? You certainly gave it a good thrashing.! Those jumps were EPIC.!! 👍 👍 😁 😁 I can see myself getting a brushed version of the MT & sticking a brushless system in it.! For £199 I'd be a fool not to.!! Cheers mate.!
Alex kowaliuk here, I love most rc cars I'm not picky but I bought 4 red cats all at the same time and the plastic broke on all of them with light use. And the nitros I bought from Red cat only worked twice and the motors never would run again and I use nitro I'm not the best but I can do basic tuning, except on Red cat , maybe they have changed, I hope they have my experience was the worst I've ever had.😂
If this has the snap ring shock rods from the Wov racing version that shock is going to be a common break. If it's got the updated Redcat threaded version you'll be fine. I've not broke a threaded one but the one pressed one that came on my truck broke very quick on a small bad landing. Redcat had already shipped me 4 new updated ones the day before it happened. Imagine customer service that fixes issues before you even know they exist. That's my experience with Redcat customer service and i couldn't be happier to buy more from them.
I didn’t check, but I will do. After the small break I slotted it back in and it actually held up even with a split in it… not sure it would have taken many more big jumps like that though
Just what I was coming here for to ask😅 But I had a hunch for that direction.. And Phil, I was so convinced of your Magnitron video that I got myself one. Lot’s of fun, awesome in fresh snow with gnarly pin tires! That 1/10 looks very good too!

That was a good looking little truck how much are they going to be are they on the cheaper end of rc or like armma and traxsas really expensive and out of most peoples price range
Total noob here. If you have range problems with the stock radio and receiver can it be swapped out with your own radio system and if so is it fairly simple to do??
TRIO is a much nicer name than TR10 right? 🤪
Remember the biscuit 🤤 I want a trio and I want one now

I think with a bit of tuning, this thing will be mega!
@@TomleyRC I think you might be right. I hope you do another video on it if you do get around to tuning it.
Shout out to those who remember 27mHz and 700mHz transmitters from the golden age of Radio Shack, Tyco RC, Nikko and NewBright!
Still have a box of crystals from my racing days and remember the kaos when someone with the same frequency would fire up their transmitter in the pits mid race😅
Yep I have old traxxas radios with the crystals that’s right 2.7 hz I thought it was FM also or my confusing with regular radios
Still got the 27mhz on my t-maxx. I got the truck brand new in 2002. Put the 3.3 in it and metal driveshafts.
Don’t forget 40!!
Yup. I used to get all kinds of interference from CB radios that would cause my car to drive off on it's own. Those were the days.
Very interesting, looks very durable hope the price isn’t too high.nice work
As for all the boxes saying 2.4ghz still, most countries require any product with a transmitter of any kind, to have its frequency labeled on the box, so im assuming they do it still cause of that :)
Yes, good shout 👌
Looks good, well featured, just a better looking transmitter and it wouldn't look cheap. And man, does it perform well.

Redcat version is $240 USD, which is a screaming deal. It's fast, jumps well, and seemingly durable - the elusive RC trifecta lol
Holy hell, it flies so very straight and level like a large high wing thermal glider !!!

Very cool, unbelievable how much abuse it took, nice driving for the most part 👍
Wow! This thing looks great! I really hope they fix the issues with wheel play and the diff oils. If so I'm gonna get one.
Hopefully they’ll dial it in. Although diff tuning can be done relatively easy… and a little shimming of the axles will probably sort the play out.
@@TomleyRC Right. But if they DID do the little dialings in already this could be the ultimate RTR basher(as far as I can tell).

Should be about 350 but it's going to cost closer to what the kaiju cost as that's what I'm getting . The body anyway . The chassis looks like the newest redcat whatever thinger
