I love mine, it's perfect for the garden. Feels a little like a Lunchbox, no wheelies but it jumps better. I always take the mirrors of before I run it.
great review - video Phil, looks the kinda RC to take to the beach while on holiday, to rip around with of an evening - early morning while it's quiet, to relax & enjoy some uncomplicated RCing fun.
I love this thing! So retro 80’s looking. 😂 And I agree, make the mirrors rubber! If I get this I’ll probably leave the mirrors off 😂 Great video, Phil!
Looks perfect for indoors and as an LMT trainer. Nice to have an RC reviewer focus on fun instead whine about how taxes are too high while they own a Lambo and monster truck.
It does land really well, and handling looks good too. Shame it's too small for my liking. Oh but wait! If we all ordered 1:12 scale RCs that match our 1:10 ones, we could line our walls with the smaller versions just for decoration and stach the biggerones out of sight in the garage/unit/spare castle, or wherever.
This is the same chassis as the thundertiger toyota hilux/ team associated cr12. Its meant for trail running, not durable enough for bashing. This will break pretty fast.
Yep, put some glue on my mirrors just for added strength and led’s in the roll bar really set it off! While I think it’d benefit from a touch more speed, I think I’m keeping mine stock. Nice one Phil!👍😊
Not even close to a classic MT like smt or lmt. The original chassis is the cr12 and is a trail truck with a wimpy ladder style chassis, plastic gears and no Slipper. Only meant for mild trail running. Bashing will break that thing really fast.
@@AsurasWrath164 yea meant a scx 10 every solid axle monster truck is a converted trail truck or a crawler with bigger tires and gearing , sometimes with a cage . Im guessing you should pick one up and bash it and post it? Might take off for ya
@jnmwtkns absolutely not. Solid axle MT always have a TVP chassis and are never converted trail trucks. Utter nonsense! Edit: and I own this exact chassis! I know exactly what it's capable of.
Not sure it’s that new. Looks like an Associated CR12 chassis. It’s almost identical to my TTRCSport PUBG ‘Military vehicle’, itself based on the CR12. The blue shocks are different.
Hmmm ... I can't think of too many monster trucks that have mirrors ,, and, well,, monster trucks break stuff all the time... It's all part of the show 😉
What a cool little rig!!! What camera and mounts do you use for all the different POV angles. I have always likes the angles you film, especially the under the chassis!!!!👍👍👍
I’d love to see your review of the Tamiya Hotshot. Build and run. A car I’ve never had. Oh I’ve got the follow ins. Bigwig, Hotshot2, Boomerang etc etc. but never the og 1st Tamiya 4 wheel drive car. Got one on Friday and started the build. Loving it so far. But I’d love to see your review of it. Nice1 Phil.
Looks like a decent little solid axle monster truck. Any idea if it's metal geared? Looking forward to trying out with power system would give it just a little more punch yet keep it reliable.
This as well many other RC cars look so light though imitating some real life. I like RC cars, yet to have modern one since the 80s but when i will have, i am going to at least add weight to make it go more realisticly. I dont know if added weight makes that but thats smt i really would like to try.
20km/h for a tiny 380 and those big tires = not too bad I'd say. And the plastic bits snapping.. No surprise there, since the MT12 is, basically a sped-up Thundertiger 12th scale crawler. I got a sprue full of Axial mirrors and stuff in flexible nylon. I gather that will alleviate the breakage quite nicely. I think I get me one of these. The Crawlers were fun for their size (I got 2 NIB for just under 100 Euro's a piece in a sale) , but a smallish, but not 1/24 scale 'small' Monstertruck in vintage look? Oh boy, even better..
Check out the surpass hobby supersonic. 380/390 size brushless sensored system, 80amp esc motors available upto 5000kv. Something like that would be perfect in there , maybe not such a high a kv but the system in general for that brushed control feel with brushless power.
Nice little monster truck. You should throw in the brushless system from the reflex Mt 14 and see how that works. I would love to see that video. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Looks fun though the motor being Brushed in this day and age for something $200+'s ridiculous imo, they could have put in a cheap brushless motor but maybe there's a positive reason besides cost? I dunno I find it absurd
Great video @TomleyRC I watch all of them. I got a question about Rossa as I am planning on making the trip with my wife for the event next year from the US. Question is this is there a set distance from the starting line to the gatse
Get this instead. It's bigger so it'll drive more scale. It's also small enough to be used indoors. I love running mine in my apartment after work just to get my mind off things. Then when I go for a walk with my girlfriend it's more than fast enough to come along.
I didnt have good luck with my radio gear it would get like 10ft away and lose signal I binded it and rebound it replaced batteries still no range, so it got a dumbo.
Hey chap good video as always . Do you know the DHK Hunter ? My son has had the brushless version for five years and has never killed it . And you should see how he drives !!
So they name a solid axle the MT12, but the name much more similar to the other MTs a Reflex 14MT? Associated is off their meds. At least in the naming department. They make nice RCs tho

Looks like a mini clod buster...
Yes, it does. I’d not really noticed at first 😀
That's what I was thinking!!!!
Same here!
Haha that was my first thought too
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔
I have one and it’s so much fun. Definitely like a mini Cold Buster. Could use more power but still fun for me and my toddler kids
New King of rc vids. Real talk....
I like mine. HPI Wheely King body fits wheelbase and it’s a fun 1/12 scale old skool looking monster truck. Everyone loves monster trucks!
I think a lot of people forget about the "fun" part sometimes in the hobby.
I love mine, it's perfect for the garden. Feels a little like a Lunchbox, no wheelies but it jumps better. I always take the mirrors of before I run it.
Best car i had was the HPI wheely king i loved that. i jumped it off my roof and nothing damaged.
great review - video Phil, looks the kinda RC to take to the beach while on holiday, to rip around with of an evening - early morning while it's quiet, to relax & enjoy some uncomplicated RCing fun.
Seriously, somebody needs to hire you to make promotional toy videos. I swear you make everything look exciting.
I love this thing! So retro 80’s looking. 😂 And I agree, make the mirrors rubber! If I get this I’ll probably leave the mirrors off 😂 Great video, Phil!
I think this is the first RC I've ever seen that a lipo didn't make it a bit faster or a bit more punch, Looks like a fun little monter truck 👍🏻✌🏻
Yes… I thought it may get a good few mph more
If that went much faster it would be rolling looks fun man
It's cute! Be fun with a brushless setup, nothing extreme.
Same chassis as the TA Cr12. Biggest issue it has is the plastic diff gears. The Fj45 body was one of the coolest lexans.
As you said, it looks like fun. Indoors it jumped and landed well.
Looks perfect for indoors and as an LMT trainer.
Nice to have an RC reviewer focus on fun instead whine about how taxes are too high while they own a Lambo and monster truck.
Looks really cool and great fun. Enjoyed the video 👍
It was great fun 👌
your channel is the best.
Looks like a blast. I need a couple sets of those metal links for a different project I'm doing!! Keep up the great work!!
That's clearly the Element RC Trailwalker Body . :D
Fantastic camera angles, Phil, great review!!

What’s going on with the raffle? I received notification the winner has been drawn. I followed all the cues & went in circles for 1/2 hour…
@@josephmorelli3191 No idea mate, you'll need to post as a fresh comment I guess.
The last clip from underneath had a good view of the suspension working some...
The body looks cool af
Cool little truck! A little big foot! Always great videos ‼️👍👍🦾🦾
love the look of it! i want this look on an xmax!
This is the same chassis as the thundertiger toyota hilux/ team associated cr12.
Its meant for trail running, not durable enough for bashing. This will break pretty fast.
Wow 😮😮😮
One day i will buy and install led light on it
My new favourite RC ,needs KC spots yellow and a light bar 🤘🤠🇬🇧🙏🇺🇸 , reminds me of 1986 BLACKFOOT
Yes Phil... ( would look tidy in your colours)
Yes… I think you can get a clear body 👌
Love the camera car! I mean camera truck. Toyota trucks are meant for this! 😊
Yep, put some glue on my mirrors just for added strength and led’s in the roll bar really set it off!
While I think it’d benefit from a touch more speed, I think I’m keeping mine stock.
Nice one Phil!👍😊
Yes.. I think a little more speed may end up with a little more carnage!
I like that a lot 😀
It was good fun 🤩
This is a CR12 in disguise 🥸
Omfg! I love it ! Looks like a mini smt10 or any solid axle monster truck .Associated Really cool little booger. Cant wait to get my hands on one.

Love mine. I run a 2 cell LIHV for a bit more pop. That motor gets screaming hot on it so I got a little heat sink and all good :)
Another great review!
Keep up the great work!
Asplenia.
Hey Tomley I know you're not the biggest traxxas fan but I would recommend trying out the Bigfoot. Keep up the great work👍
Cool 🔥😎👍🏆♥️🌞
It's the old cr12 crawler, just big wheel and larger hexagone ,,i have one
In this price class it should come with a brushless system already installed.
I really like how scale it is!
Not sure it’s that new. Looks like an Associated CR12 chassis. It’s almost identical to my TTRCSport PUBG ‘Military vehicle’, itself based on the CR12. The blue shocks are different.
Exactement j'en ai un
Yes, you're right!
What the model of the Grey bicycle on the 3:22 video? Is it electric?
jam a brushless system in it n it ll be fun.. that's the same body as the trailwalker
looks like crawler
Don't think I'll be buying one but another great video x
Thanks about the mew4 m163 saw it on the last video😅
Allen, Allen, Allen!!! Tomley's Praire Dog... 😂😅
Thats how fast my tyco fast traxx went back in the day lol
another fine review
ALAN! ALAN! 🤣👍Love to see if a Blackfoot/ranger shell would fit it.Wonder if its the same chassis as the CR12 that had a Blackfoot-esque shell on it?
I'd like to see that thing go brushless!😂
Hmmm ... I can't think of too many monster trucks that have mirrors ,, and, well,, monster trucks break stuff all the time... It's all part of the show 😉
🐹 Allen!
Allen… Allen… Allen
I miss the Allen bit. Glad to see it make a comeback.
I want to see the reflex 14mt brushless system in this😎
Forget it! This thing has plastic gears and not even a slipper clutch.
What a cool little rig!!! What camera and mounts do you use for all the different POV angles. I have always likes the angles you film, especially the under the chassis!!!!👍👍👍
i think insta 360 go with some double side tape
Solid Monster.. awesome video
Awesome little truck, Phil! 😃
Great bashing and review!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Got it. They turned the CR12 into a MT.
Hahaha good morning and thanks for the video
Good Morning 😇
was that music clip from Mario cart? That bought back some good memories 🥰
Yes, when you get a Star ⭐️ ‘back in the day’

13mph is in scale speed 156mph. At 1/12 scale.
Yeah, any faster and it would be rolling lots

Nice… could be a good option
This Thing has plastic gears and no Slipper. Have fun destroying your tranny instantly.
Looks small for a 12th scale. If I remember correctly hpi's wheely king is 12th scale and was noticably larger

World's fastest 12th scale MT. Just for the fun of it
I had these in the 70s ended up in the garbage bin or lost in the deep wood ravine.

6:57 reminds me of a jack russell chasing a mouse......
Sooo it's basically a cr12 trail truck converted to a monster truck
Aweeee ain't she ceeuuuute!!
No 3S test!? That'll give a couple of MPH extra 👌🏼
Great video @TomleyRC I watch all of them. I got a question about Rossa as I am planning on making the trip with my wife for the event next year from the US. Question is this is there a set distance from the starting line to the gatse
We ❤ Tomley RC. He's a Wanker but he's our Wanker.
Do I get one do I not I dunno lol. Does look good. ❤
Yup, use the FTX Tracer and HBX 16889A Pro Ravage to jump over, they can take it!
What is the wheel and tires size on this. 1.9 or 2.2"? Diameter and width of tire?
at first I thought you were startling
Wow even where the shirt to support the little monster.
would you recommend this or a max smasher? I was leaning towards this just because its a little bigger and no portals
Get this instead. It's bigger so it'll drive more scale. It's also small enough to be used indoors. I love running mine in my apartment after work just to get my mind off things. Then when I go for a walk with my girlfriend it's more than fast enough to come along.
can u do a review of the team associated sc10? i thinking of getting one, and would like ur thoughts?
I didnt have good luck with my radio gear it would get like 10ft away and lose signal I binded it and rebound it replaced batteries still no range, so it got a dumbo.
can u pls make your latrax teton brushless
with ezrun 1/18 motor and esc combo
Hey chap good video as always . Do you know the DHK Hunter ? My son has had the brushless version for five years and has never killed it . And you should see how he drives !!
Oh btw I found a mini truck you could take to the skate park rage rc mini trek 4x4 or mt version
I’ll take a look
would be cool if it came with 4 wheel steering
Yeah, probably not hard to do a conversion
Are you getting the mn 111 Land Rover ?? I’m very tempted
So they name a solid axle the MT12, but the name much more similar to the other MTs a Reflex 14MT? Associated is off their meds. At least in the naming department. They make nice RCs tho
It is a jacked up tioga
Dangit. Just bought a Vendetta
Do we think this little guy will handle a little brushless setup? I passed on the Tioga because of plastic gears.
This is the same chassis as the cr12 tioga. As trail truck it holds up ok, but as a bashing Mt??? This thing is going kaputt pretty fast.
@@AsurasWrath164 I was hoping to hear anything other than any confirmation. Lol. I was ready to go on this guy.
@@mikehansen9898 yeah, i would pass! I own this chassis and know its flaws.
@@AsurasWrath164 preciate ya friend. Good lookin out.
