As someone who has a weird appreciation for things that are packaged extremely well/expensively, this is absolutely top-notch stuff! The OCD nature and how well they've made it all understandable with the labelled bags and the corresponding detailed instructions, the thick foam trays (the one with the shocks in the "exploded diagram" layout as you pointed out is particularly fine!) containing everything, even the outer box having the company logo on rather than just a generic carboard box, the entire lot is superb! I bet a not-insignificant part of the price is related to how well they've done all that!
I have a cross gc4 as my first ever hard body kit, I was expecting more of a model that happens to be RC, but after building it I realized it's truly a heavy duty machine. I bashed the hell out of it on the trail, and realized they're priced extremely reasonably for the quality. And the gc4 is pretty far over on the lower end of Cross models. 11/10 would recommend.
You could never ever afford one? It was 4,300 bucks. I’m certain anyone could save that much money very easily. Especially if you want it bad enough. That mentality that you never will is why you never will.
@@tylerseabook9423 not everyone lives where you live... average monthly income in my country is 1500$, not saying one cant save for this beast but you will think a lot more about where you want to spend your 5k$. I can rebuild whole kitchen including new appliances for that money for example...
As it's locomotive inspired, you should paint it in the style of British Rail man!! Look for a class 50 image - yellow front, blue main body and black roof with black surrounding the windows... Really looking forward to this series!
Fed up with RTR, plug&play's, beginner jobs or one day projects ? CrossRC is here for you !😊 The biggest, the most expensive, the heaviest, the hardest-to-build RC thing ever is now somewhere in the UK. Pray for not meeting the monster : it'd eat your 1/24 crawler, and maybe you and your dog. 😱 Love this kind of thing.👍 Mad Max...
I'm so glad you're doing this. This is a bonkers kit that deserves more attention, and most people (including myself) probably won't ever get to see one in person.
Kits that come with tools are well thought out by the manufacturer 👍 As for you Phil your the reason why people should get into the hobby that kit is EPIC! not just bought but built it yourself 💪👍
21:55 totally agree about power tools vs hand tools. I'm a mechanic and auto-electrician working on everything from chainsaws and motorbikes to trucks and forklifts, and any thread smaller than 10mm I prefer to do by hand, so I can feel any inconsistency or concerns early, before the damage is done. Love the channel, I wasn't meaning to find a new hobby but I have ended up with an fcx24 K5 Blazer and an LDARC X43 both on your recommendation. 🙏
Oh my goodness!!! That thing is amazing! Thank for bringing us along for the ride @TomleyRC 👍 Just checked the link for comparison, price in AUD for us Aussies: $5150 + at least another $1215 shipping 🤯😵💫😵 I'd have to sell the family car to buy one but it wouldn't matter cause there would be enough money left for a trailer to pull behind it! 😂
Oh my, you've gone all in on a Cross! It's an SPAA looking machine for shooting planes maybe. But irl maybe more of a mobile crane chassis they look very similar.
I have a cnc router that can do light aluminum but I was looking around for a cnc mill and my buddies said NO WAY will we let you buy a mill. Me: why? Them: because you told us what you'd do if you bought an r/c tank. Me: you mean have it fire .22 LR ammunition? YES!!!! lol
Ive just got into rc trucks coming over from fpv freestyle flying. Got myself a mt10 v2 and I’m really enjoying bashing. I think I’m liking rc cars more as there is more things to tinker with cause once I build a drone that’s kind of it but with these trucks there is all manor up upgraded bits plus I’m liking all the mechanics it’s just as fun to work on.
I've seen a few crossRC builds and yes, great instructions and quality. You struggling to get the pieces out of the foam reminds me of my large socket set....you need a prybar to get the sockets out of their pockets and a hammer to put em back in! Nice that they don't come loose and roll around but a pain in the arse if you're trying to get em out 1 handed.
Bloomin' heck, that's some commitment you're showing to us building that behemoth! I love all those high end Chinese vehicles & had a Mato Tiger tank that was awesome, but I sold it as I rarely used it. Please don't snap your back lifting it too much! I'll keep an eye on the next raffle (already been in a couple) to keep you in coffee & biscuits...you've earned it! :)
The packaging of that first box is A1. Sure this will take a while to paint then build looks forward to the outcome. With that radio you can drive to Ireland and back the ERLS Radiomaster MT12 is a beast of a radio.
I’ve watched unboxing and build videos before. But this was by far my favorite. Almost makes me regret preordering the Apple Vision Pro. Cause if I saw this first I might of saved some more and got this instead.
Fell in love with this first time I saw one. I’m a novice so don’t know if I have the skills to build this so this build will be really interesting for me👍 It’s not the build per se as I’ve worked on cars and stuff but the RC side is a dark science to me.
What an amazing bit of kit!! Yeah don’t get me wrong it’s very expensive but… when you see that kind of care and attention put into the packaging you know the product is going to be top notch!! Looking forwards to the rest of the build dude! Nice work
Please make it brushless. I am thinking about building one myself once my workshop is warm. Would be nice to see what electronics work best for you. Regarding the Radio: I love mine, but they are a bit complicated to set up if you’re not used to drone radios. If in doubt, watch Joshua Bardwell’s videos about it.
It looks like a Hydra weapon transportation vehicle. It would look at home next to the giant tank from the Captain America first avenger movie. At least needs a Hydra sticker somewhere.
That's so satisfying to watch all these perfect parts fits together. Very every expensive, but looks so cool. For me rather too expensive for just an hobby. So thanks that you do a project like this. Exciting to see part 2
I'm a former mobile crane operator. I've seen vehicles like this in full scale buried several feet deep still moving because of the traction from that 10 or more in my case wheel drive. I hope this has the same steering options we do. Crab, rear independent and front obviously. Crazy engineering on those all terrain cranes. I'm also curious about the diffs. We have so many options.
Holy cow that thing is ginormous! It would be an epic thing to build but moving it from one place to another and storing it looks like a challenge in itself! LOL. It all looks wonderfully machined and although expensive you are getting a lot of truck and quality parts in there! Certainly is not a Tamiya CC02 build! LOL!
Love this type of video. So satisfying seeing a well built complex kit like that... That chassis looks amazing in black, the tires are beautiful... Big kits like these are very interesting
Are you going to get the smoke generator for it, it looks awesome.! I was literally just watching videos of this at the start of the week.! This is why you have the greatest RC channel.... IN THE UK.!! 😉 😉
Having seen the videos produced for this Truck ican say i've been looking forwards to watching one being built. I know it is so expensive but it will look so good once it's finish. I'm looking forwards to part 2.
I was looking at that truck a week ago and now I see how much you get for the money I will be getting one soon, i love building scale vehicles, very cool
You sure know how to give the viewers the content we want to see. This build is looking like a beast can’t wait to see you driving it, another awesome video sir.
What a piece of kit! An absolute beast! You might think this strange, but the view at 12:43 puts me in-mind of a giant, lengthened Tamiya TL-01 chassis.
I've been looking at the Cross RC military vehicles, they're pretty cool but a bit pricey, can't justify having a few grand sat around only getting used once in a while.
Shaping up to be an epic build. The MT12 will do everything you can dream of doing but EdgeTX is a steep learning curve unless you already have some knowledge of Open/EdgeTx for air radios. Be aware that the default channel order as shipped is incorrect as it's set as Ch1 Throttle and Ch2 Steering. Easily changed by going into System,Page Forward twice to get into Radio Setup and scroll down about 40 lines to Default channel order and change from TS to ST. There are a few 3D printed files for top and bottom camera mounts as well as thumb steering wheel and mouldings that drop the steering wheel down
Not many places have it in stock...I believe this is the official distributor: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEkwo4N
If you are questioning '$5000'
Truck: £3256
Servos £430
Motors/ESC: £170
Paint: £50
Total: £3906 = $4969 (close enough ;)
Nice man. I only saw one channel do this one. She did a zombie film type deal.
Can't wait for part 2, that thing is just nuts 😂😂, epic video dude 😎
Wow £624 for delivery 😱. This build looks epic though. Can't wait to see it in action
when the servos cost more than the motor and esc
💀
They ask 1500$ only for the shipping in Canada! OMG!

Yes, it’s very expensive… but it didn’t leave me feeling that I’d overpaid when I was unboxing it 👌

I bashed the hell out of it on the trail, and realized they're priced extremely reasonably for the quality. And the gc4 is pretty far over on the lower end of Cross models. 11/10 would recommend.
Honestly, looking at the shear amount of machined aluminium in that kit, it's terrific value for money. Not that I could ever afford one mind you.
Yes, very good quality and a lot of work to design it I’m sure
The packaging as well is great.
You could never ever afford one? It was 4,300 bucks. I’m certain anyone could save that much money very easily. Especially if you want it bad enough. That mentality that you never will is why you never will.

Instead of taking a credit for the holidays abroad, this year I'm gonna buy a giant RC truck to carry me in a golden throne 🤣😂😅
As it's locomotive inspired, you should paint it in the style of British Rail man!! Look for a class 50 image - yellow front, blue main body and black roof with black surrounding the windows... Really looking forward to this series!
Awesome project looking forward to part 2!
Cheers mate. It’s so cool’

Pray for not meeting the monster : it'd eat your 1/24 crawler, and maybe you and your dog. 😱
Love this kind of thing.👍
Mad Max...
Same technique as a crocodile. run sideways and the large turning circle will save you
The heaviest and more expensive would be Armortek, if you are into military and tank stuff, they're based in UK and their kits are incredible
This is the best build series ever! Cannot wait for the next part…!!!😊
Now we see why the table and new camera angles were needed. That thing looks like it will be a beast.
Yes… wouldn’t have worked on the normal bench 🤘
I'm so glad you're doing this. This is a bonkers kit that deserves more attention, and most people (including myself) probably won't ever get to see one in person.
Wasn't expecting this but it's a nice surprise! I always wanted one of these after watching their video. I'll just live vicariously I guess.
lol.. it was a nice surprise for me too. My Wife made me buy it lol
Kits that come with tools are well thought out by the manufacturer 👍
As for you Phil your the reason why people should get into the hobby that kit is EPIC! not just bought but built it yourself 💪👍
I am massively excited about this build and the future videos about it. Enjoy the build Phil
I am too!
Perfect Friday night viewing. Thanks Phil.
I'm new to the channel but now I'm looking forward to watching this build
21:55 totally agree about power tools vs hand tools.

There's something satisfying about doing it by hand
That's the coolest RC build I've seen. Awesome. It should plow through anything.
Oh my goodness!!! That thing is amazing! Thank for bringing us along for the ride @TomleyRC 👍
Just checked the link for comparison, price in AUD for us Aussies: $5150 + at least another $1215 shipping 🤯😵💫😵
I'd have to sell the family car to buy one but it wouldn't matter cause there would be enough money left for a trailer to pull behind it! 😂
What can I say? NOICE!!! I can hardly wait to see how she drives.
But once you get that rear bed installed, she'll become the Queen of Shelves!
love Cross RC kits, they are always really satisfying!
Agree 👌
Holy crap that is ridiculous! YET so freaking COOOOOOL That needs to get a proper mad max paintjob and weathering!
Oh my, you've gone all in on a Cross! It's an SPAA looking machine for shooting planes maybe. But irl maybe more of a mobile crane chassis they look very similar.
Wow what a monster. Can't wait to see it run.
Me too!
Good god that's an insane build! Really nice to be sharing in the fun with you like that!
I called that! I knew when i saw the little truck with machine guns mounted on the bed. That thing is freaking awesome!
Haha.. yea
I have a cnc router that can do light aluminum but I was looking around for a cnc mill and my buddies said NO WAY will we let you buy a mill.
Me: why?
Them: because you told us what you'd do if you bought an r/c tank.
Me: you mean have it fire .22 LR ammunition?
YES!!!! lol

You struggling to get the pieces out of the foam reminds me of my large socket set....you need a prybar to get the sockets out of their pockets and a hammer to put em back in! Nice that they don't come loose and roll around but a pain in the arse if you're trying to get em out 1 handed.
I've never seen a rig like this. I quite like it, and getting to watch you build it is an absolute bonus!
Nice one man!
Man that thing is massive. Thanks for sharing this build with us
Welcome dude
This monster is going to be amazing. The build experience is worth its weight for sure.
What a beast of a build. Looking forward to to see it complete.
I'm starting my build this weekend. Looks like you are moving along pretty well. I would have been started by now, but the day job gets in the way.
My goodness, that thing is so cool.
Wow! Now that is a kit! Git R Done!
That is for sure one of the coolest rcs i have ever seen! Totally awesome ❤
Looking forward to you finishing this build!
I think we all are 😇
That is just insane! Cant wait to see the finished build!
Thats like an apocalyptic X-Maxx. AWESOME!!!!
Awesome, brilliant, love it! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful packaging and looks like it's going to be an awesome build! Brushless for sure!
Bloomin' heck, that's some commitment you're showing to us building that behemoth! I love all those high end Chinese vehicles & had a Mato Tiger tank that was awesome, but I sold it as I rarely used it. Please don't snap your back lifting it too much! I'll keep an eye on the next raffle (already been in a couple) to keep you in coffee & biscuits...you've earned it! :)
Trys chucking them on the bench from door entrance..... no bench left! Wicked bit of kit that... Its Christmas every day 🎁🎁🎁
Looking forward to part 2. 👍
Me too!
WOW…describes it very well! Just watching you opening the boxes intimidates me! Very exciting! A lot of fun, as always.
Allways wondered if this is a thing... love to watch you build it!
I would definitely put a brushless system in it. I also agree it's good value for money. The other day I saw a rc tank that costed over 8000 bucks.
The packaging of that first box is A1. Sure this will take a while to paint then build looks forward to the outcome. With that radio you can drive to Ireland and back the ERLS Radiomaster MT12 is a beast of a radio.
That thing is a beast, looking forward to the rest of the build 👍
Cool project! I'll be watching... I'd like to see the train cab part painted and weathered true to the train it supposedly was scavenged from!
Epic, looking forward to seeing it put through its paces. Great job Phil...
I’ve watched unboxing and build videos before. But this was by far my favorite. Almost makes me regret preordering the Apple Vision Pro. Cause if I saw this first I might of saved some more and got this instead.
Amazing! I am glad I bought so many raffal tickets 😂😂. The content is so worth it! This is going to be super epic build. Cheers
Really appreciate the support you guys give. This would not be possible otherwise
Wow! Painting it would take me forever.
And me haha
Looking forward to the rest of the build👌
Me too!
Fell in love with this first time I saw one. I’m a novice so don’t know if I have the skills to build this so this build will be really interesting for me👍
It’s not the build per se as I’ve worked on cars and stuff but the RC side is a dark science to me.
Nice, looking forward to the rest of the build videos 😀
Me too 😎
I’m so excited for this build!
Me too!
Good night, man! That box at 7:05 sounded like a whole outdoor grille! 😁 Super cool truck though! Thing's a beast!
Cool truck!
Looking forward to seeing it at the skatepark! 😮
This is some of the most enjoyable Rc content fr
Now we know why you bought a bigger truck, you'll need it to carry that for sure. It is massive for 12th scale. WHOOPEE.😊😊😊
That thing is going to be ABSOLUTELY EPIC. I'm looking forward to this build series 😎 Cheers
that thing is crazy, really waiting for part 2
What a mad departure from the norm... amazing stuff Phil 👍😀
Well done, Phil.
I enjoyed every second of this video, and look forward to seeing Part 2.
What an amazing bit of kit!! Yeah don’t get me wrong it’s very expensive but… when you see that kind of care and attention put into the packaging you know the product is going to be top notch!! Looking forwards to the rest of the build dude! Nice work
Success can be measured by how many parts you've got left over when you've finished building it 😂😂✌️😎👍
5 bits or less would be a win in my book 🤣🤣💪😉
Haha
Please make it brushless. I am thinking about building one myself once my workshop is warm. Would be nice to see what electronics work best for you. Regarding the Radio: I love mine, but they are a bit complicated to set up if you’re not used to drone radios. If in doubt, watch Joshua Bardwell’s videos about it.
That is BADASS!! Can't wait to see the build video, BLACK BLACK BLACK!!! lol I hope you go the weathered black beat-up look Madmax all the way..
Cheers dude. I’m either going black… or a dark grey
Happy with either of those... Can't wait to see it get dirty..@@TomleyRC
It looks like a Hydra weapon transportation vehicle. It would look at home next to the giant tank from the Captain America first avenger movie. At least needs a Hydra sticker somewhere.
That's so satisfying to watch all these perfect parts fits together. Very every expensive, but looks so cool.
For me rather too expensive for just an hobby. So thanks that you do a project like this.
Exciting to see part 2

Yes it’s a beast… can’t wait to get it out on the rough stuff!
Love this type of video. So satisfying seeing a well built complex kit like that... That chassis looks amazing in black, the tires are beautiful... Big kits like these are very interesting
Are you going to get the smoke generator for it, it looks awesome.!
I was literally just watching videos of this at the start of the week.!
This is why you have the greatest RC channel.... IN THE UK.!! 😉 😉
I saw that… maybe a future mod. Gonna just get it built to ‘spec’ first… then mod
I won the CrossRc EMO X3 on Hobbycomps and I have to say, Cross Rc quality is awesome.
I love it!
Can wait to see this finished
Having seen the videos produced for this Truck ican say i've been looking forwards to watching one being built. I know it is so expensive but it will look so good once it's finish. I'm looking forwards to part 2.
Never seen anything like that before, that's completely bonkers ,looking forward to the build 👍👍 . many thanks .
Wow what a muvva of a thing! I was going to say red like the render but hell yeah satin black Mad Max stylee gets my vote! 😁👌
Fantastic. I love your little orange Jack stands too
That won’t be a shelf queen ,,,the bloody wall won’t hold it up 🤣🤣
Haha
Absolutely smashed it today! I cannot wait for the next episode.
Shocked that you don't have a crane in the shop!!! Great build sreies, please share a close up of those sweet red jacks, please.
This is absolutely bonkers and I'm so here for it.
Epic build, Mad Max style I reckon
Straight out of Sci-fic looking-cool
Yes it does a bit
Wow... What a monster, Phil!!! 😮
Looking forward to the next steps!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looking forward to this build!!! 👍
🤘
This is a sick kit mate!
I was looking at that truck a week ago and now I see how much you get for the money I will be getting one soon, i love building scale vehicles, very cool
You sure know how to give the viewers the content we want to see. This build is looking like a beast can’t wait to see you driving it, another awesome video sir.
What a piece of kit! An absolute beast!
You might think this strange, but the view at 12:43 puts me in-mind of a giant, lengthened Tamiya TL-01 chassis.
Haha, I know what you mean.
What a super truck/build,would love to be able to afford one,😂cant wait for next episode,need plenty of these to carry it💪💪💪.
I would not be able to afford one without all the awesome support 👌
Wow! What a nice surprise this, and very well engineered too!
That’s a Massive build! Love how well and organized the packaging is.
I've been looking at the Cross RC military vehicles, they're pretty cool but a bit pricey, can't justify having a few grand sat around only getting used once in a while.
Yeah, they are not cheap
It's really huge. It seems to weigh a lot too. If something breaks while playing with this military RC, it will be difficult to take it with you.😂😂😂👍👍
Very envious, thank you for uploading. Ignore people saying skate park as they couldn't afford the repair bill!!!!
so cool Tomley! What an amazing machine man! Very impressive! I absolutely can't wait to see the end result and see it run! Thank you for sharing!
Definitely can't wait for the next build video!
I can see a Mad Max inspired mini series coming! 🤣
🤘
Shaping up to be an epic build. The MT12 will do everything you can dream of doing but EdgeTX is a steep learning curve unless you already have some knowledge of Open/EdgeTx for air radios. Be aware that the default channel order as shipped is incorrect as it's set as Ch1 Throttle and Ch2 Steering. Easily changed by going into System,Page Forward twice to get into Radio Setup and scroll down about 40 lines to Default channel order and change from TS to ST. There are a few 3D printed files for top and bottom camera mounts as well as thumb steering wheel and mouldings that drop the steering wheel down
I grizzle about repetition when making 8 shocks and 4 suspension units 😂 Been eyeing this thing from a distance, enjoy it Mr Phil!
