BACKYARD TRAIL TESTING | Xtra Speed XS01 Crawler

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- Welcome to the 4th and final episode of my Xtra Speed XS01 all-metal crawler series! In this video, I take the final build out on my backyard crawler course to see how capable it is on the trails. I also compare the suspension flex and turning radius to my Traxxas TRX-4, and do a high-low gear speed test.
The Xtra Speed XS01 1/10 scale 2-speed crawler from RCmart comes partially assembled, has mostly metal components, and a 2-speed transmission. This kit includes the chassis, but you'll need to get electronics (motor, ESC, 2 servos - steering/shift, lipo battery/charger) and a 12.3'/313mm wheelbase body.

Just like 1/1 scale. Most of the stuff that allows a Jeep to be suitable, comfortable, and practical for the public road holds it back when the going gets gnarly off-road. Your "hard body'" is perfect to scale aesthetically, but its body's weight hobbles it when the going again gets "gnarly". A stunningly beautiful truck!
This look absolutely amazing. Can’t show it to my 12 year old daughter, she is obsessed with getting a Jeep. I recently got her the blue ecx barrage, and you saw the picture of the 10 year olds pink barrage.
Maybe this should be dad’s truck?
Your an inspiration to a generation of young girls to get into the hobby!!
RC Girl, that was just fantastic. Did not know such RC’s existed.
I love the fact you turn up with a trx4 and trailer. That is so cool.😘
Man that thing looks awesome nice back yard course and that trailer is killer
Great video, looks like a cool rig and a very good build! Regarding the TRX-4, you need to set the endpoints correctly, it should have a lot tighter turn radius and if you switched to a cheap china servo on that as well you have to set endpoints to get correct steering ;) Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the input. I don't think I can set endpoints on the TRX4 servo if I'm using the stock transmitter. Haven't found a way yet, unless someone else has advice!
@@RCGirl its possible, I'll find the info ;D think this is it th-cam.com/video/tFO29GV28yA/w-d-xo.html
This is first video I have seen from your channel. Will definitely watch the rest of the this series and more.
I bought a hard body jeep from Amazon that said it would fit on an SCX10 II chassis and of course it didn't. I like the chassis a may order it from RCMart but their shipping costs are ridiculously high.
Thank you for a great informative video.
Loved the build series! Seriously thinking of adding this one!
Awesome keep me posted if you go for it!
@@RCGirl you know I will!
Great video. It was a pleasure to follow the build.. try some 2 stage foams in the tires to stop the roll.. keep up the good work
I def need 2-stage foams!
Girl you rock i love your truck and its helping me to move up th RC Ladder.......Keep up the great work
So impressive So SCALE That is sweet .Watched the series dont own ground RC Love the course. What can i say Your Great!! GREAT EFFORT !!!!!
Something is seriously wrong with the trx4 turning radius. Those are excellent out of the box some of the sharpest. Now you did the brass mods on the trx4 sometimes the drag link crashes into the diff cover too early. I would look into that. For the Moab Jeep are the knuckles adjustable? Looks like the Jeep needs a few more degrees of positive caster angle. Negative will cause the sidewall to want to steer into the ground also giving you added side wall flexing. If you can’t adjust the knuckles you lesson the distance of your upper links paying attention to not increasing your drive shaft/pinion angle. For the torque twist the VP scale antirock sway bar look rad in the rear. Or you can add little spring preload and some heavy wait oil in the one shock. The Jeep turned out beautiful nice review thx!
My oldest grandgirl loves watching your crawler videos and reviews. She got started with my old Axial AX10 scorpion buggy and now has her own Redcat Everest since she wanted a monster truck and rock crawler in one vehicle. Your videos have been helpful to me too, thanks for sharing.
I really like the backyard crew course...
I can’t wait until I get my first JEEP hardbody, it’s on a Slow Boat front China,
It will be my first try at it, I have a RGT 86100 for the lower, I hope it all fits....!!
Thank you for a nice video as always!
Absolutely capable for the most demanding terrain you can throw at a scale-trailtruck. Long wheel travel, softly sprung with grippy oversize soft tires tackle most obstacles. Low point of gravity for the chassis, balanced with good weight distribution with a well laid out motor, driveline and battery also help.
The chassis look good with its realistic looking metal axles, I cannot help to think about if this chassis with fit a Land Rover Defender D90 hardbody? If the wheel base centers the wheels in the wheel arches of the D90 hardbody, it would be very attractive with the D90 hardbody in british racing green, hmm....
Cheers.
I just did my first RC crawler build! No hardbody though, but im still super hyped with the results. I got the reveal vid up and a few days out already with it.
Yours is super nice! I aspire for that level skill someday.
Thanks I will have to check yours out!
@@RCGirl it would be an honor, im still just discovering RC, much room for improvement yet, i can already tell a difference in everything from when i started, and its only been like 4months total into RC.
I like the part with the crawling in the wooden stairs.
Very nice build, love the flat blue paint! Good to see Dante there to "supervise"
Haha 😆 he seriously puts himself in every scene
Great review RC Girl, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice rig love the blue paint job
That's a hell of a truck right there
The body looks great, but you can tell it's very heavy on the trail. Not ideal but still cool. Great video!
Beautiful looking Jeep I dig this blue sweet crawling course
Nice work RCGirl! Thanks
Need to see if you have a vid on building your trailer. I want to do something like that with my rig. I like it!
Great video! Love the crawler! 👍🔥
Another great build and job walking us through the experience. I am curious as to how much this build cost just the way it is in this final vid. I’m trying to make a decision on which build I want to tackle. I really like what you did with this one, and love the quality of the product. Keep up the great work and vids! 😎
It really turned out nice 👍✔. Like that blue pant 👌✔! KILLER crawler!!!
THE Moab looks and performs pretty awesome. Great BUILD 👍👍 😎
Your back yard makes for a very cool crawler course.
@@reckemroysrc3764 thanks!
It's a nice truck. I see some of the manufacturer snobs snub Xtra Speed on some RC groups but i really like their stuff. It's always really good value for money.
Looks like there is a big jump in the gearing between low and high which is always good as well.
Body looks great as well
Ha yeah I see the same, but they are definitely hobby grade and have some good value products.
watched all the vids on the build, loved em, great truck for a great driver
Really cool Jeep. Love the detail on the hard tops. I need to invest in one of these soon. The closest thing I have is my old Lunchbox which is just a fun basher but has a horrible suspension due to the old 80's design.
I want a lunchbox!!!
@@RCGirl they are cool but very bouncy. The old tech and sloppy steering will annoy you but it is fun. I would love to see what you'd do with the paint. I would would love to get a second one and make it into the Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine. Thanks for the reply!
Loved it! The trailer setup is very cool indeed, and your crawler course looks like huge fun.
Thanks, yeah the trailer has been so fun. Helping me learn how to drive with a trailer for when I get a full size one someday
very good video.! The Cart looks great. Greetings from Indianapolis IN.
Your crawler is gorgeous. Great work!
I have a RC4WD and I think it could be a great next step in RC world the Xtra Speed kit .
Did you ever tried RC4WD ?
If yes , your impressions between the Rc4WD and the Xtra Speed .
Thanks
Not normally a big fan of Jeep bodies. The ones I do like are like something you could possibly see at SEMA. I like yours. Very nice details. 👍. You keep building and we will keep watching. 😉
Great video 👍 I need to get a crawler.
Great video, love the TRX4 towing the trailer & Jeep
I am so loving this channel... THANK YOU!
Great to hear that, thanks!
Great video Jeep looks good nice job
No wheelbarrow in this video, lol. Nicely done. 😍
Phew I survived! 😂😂
@@RCGirl Glad to see you're made it. What will be your next build? I like the cross rc BC8, but way to expensive for me. Love your videos, so keep it up! Lovely greets from Netherlands. 😍😍🇳🇱😉
Great job on the build series. I really like that body
Thanks, yeah this body rocks. they also make a Jeep Cherokee hardbody that looks just as cool
Those servos are very good at great prices
I think it looks and does an amazing job keep it up !!! 👍👍
Thanks!!
Wow! Love the look of that truck 😎
Great video! Jeep turned out amazing!
Thanks!!
Starting out with a rig with all metal parts is a plus....any tips for a first purchase? RTR or Kit?
Great video 🎉🎈👍😎...love the trailer🙂..the Xtra is real good,and like the soft suspension 🚙
Great review sis! Very capable rig indeed.
Like your decal looking good
Beautiful video really need to get one. Hope you have a good day.
I love how the grill gives the headlights a mean look dddddddooopppe!😂😂😂
Great trail test and I'd love to have a backyard like that. By the way the body leaned most of the time, there must have been a really well fed passenger in your rig.
Nice vid. I think some different foams and actual car wheel weights in the tires will help with the problems. Vanquish ball joint axles too. Looks good 👍
Looks really scale. Nice job
i like the magnet body mounts...wish traxxas would do the same
Gerat vid, that thing looks pretty sick. I'm gonna have to check it out! I really want a TRX4 or Axial (l love the idea of the TRXR's portal axles and lockers), but I can't drop $500 or so on one right now, so this one might be an option...
I like all of those. If you're looking for a good value crawler, you should also consider the Gen8 Redcat. $299 rtr amzn.to/2IEyDrF
Love how you tow it to the wheeling spots. Keep the up great content 👍
That RC is very cool...I dig it! :)
Looks like a nice rig!
I also use those servos , never had a prob . Sweet rig 👍
No build is complete without a REEFS TRIPLE 5 SERVO however the one your running g is just fine. In the future maybe you can consider it i have one and i swear by mine..
I know!! Reefs servos are the best out there.
@@RCGirl ....just to something think about i guess. I totally love your approach to the hobby. Thx for redponding.
Enjoyed the video......do you like the transmission & motor set up.???
Yes the Axe Xerun Hobbywing setup is great! Lots of very low end slow speed torque and some speed when you need it!
@@RCGirl ....thanks for the info
Love the scale look,nice job!!!
Hello from ireland! 👋 The crawler looks awesome!
Hi! Thanks
How do you like the insane control of the AXE? I’ve heard nothing but good things and I’m about to pull the trigger on one for a TRX-4 sport build.
Yeah I love it. Not as nice as my tekin setup but still great
Well done video. Is kinda funny that the body is tipped to the right side...Is something amiss within the shocks???
Loving the tie downs for the trailer
Any links to buy some?
Looks great, I really hope that hood opens, would be such a shame if not.
It looks awesome,,Good job 👍🤙
great video.
Thanks!
all your videos are great this is very informative thank you
Superbe vidéo, belle musique, cool
Love the Blue
that was a Really Cool,Relaxing Video to Watch!! Great Stuff there!
i want to start off by saying my daughter loves watching your channel. now that you've lived with this chassis for a while. is there alot of aftermarket support for this chassis? Is it hard to find stuff for it? I'd like to put a lc70 body on it.
Hey, I still really love this build but Im not aware of a ton of aftermarket products for it.
Another great build video and very informative. Why did you get wheel spacers and does it improve performance.
Will they fit all RC vechiles ?
Thanks
It looks awesome rc girl! Your course looks like a lot of fun too.
What do u mean by “under inflate” you tires?
Like use denser foams? Want to get my stock scx10 ii BFG AllTerrains softer. Dont know if the foams will do it or need softer rubbers?
Troppo bello questo video !!!...mi è venuta voglia di scaler !!!. .mi sa che domani ne acquisto uno anche io !!!...ciao bellissima !!!
Does it perform better with the new wheels? I saw you used the old ones for the run. I would imagine more side wall flex since they aren't stretched now.
Yeah I think it's better with the proline beadlocks.
Great vehicle loved the video RcFam4Life 🤜🏾🤛🏾🤙🏾🤘🏾🔥✊🏾💪🏾😎
Thanks!!
@@RCGirl your welcome
Can you tell us what body mounts you used please. I am building a scale crawler at the moment and the magnetic mounts I got aren't strong enough.
Greetings from Poland. Cool video.
Greetings!
Awesome video and course! Sunglasses are sick, who makes them?
Kreedom. I have since retired them because I used them so much they got super scratched! Prob need another pair myself bit.ly/2R7nx2L
Hi, great video and nice rig. I wanted to know how do you like your Ovoni batteries, price and performance? Thank you !!!
Hey! I like them a lot. I got them on Amazon for a decent price, they have been really reliable. Ive also really liked gens ace
I realized I didn't include links for those in the description box, so sharing here: amzn.to/2IyjKqU
@@RCGirl Actually I saw them on Amazon Canada, 2 for 58$ and for 1 Gen was 32$ not much difference but thanks for the tip, can't wait to see your other build. Take care !!
Awesome rc crawling vid!
Nice wheelin’..sick rig for sure🤙
Rad trailer! Is it DIY or do you have a link for it?
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
The trailer was made by Gerry Toolin (gt660r@gmail.com). He does custom orders so feel free to reach out.
Awesome! Thanks for the reply
Nice jeep!!
How are those Ovonic batteries treating you? Just seen them last night and was thinking of putting in an order for a few of them.
They're great, I still recommend them to people. Ovonic (cheaper) and Gens ace (pricier) are my go-to lipos.
Finally my friend🙏🏻 looks soo good.. 👌
Thanks! Not as high quality video as yours though 😉
RC Girl WOOW thats nice of you.
You have super good quality to😜👌
And i dont speak good in my videos😂
RC Girl you did the right thing with the rims btw👌
Nice rig. Seems to have quite a bit of torque twist though.
must be a hella back yard !
I love how the Old trailers in the NEW ;)
Great video, thanks for the tips
1,000 likes for a brilliant video. (I drive them off the table too). Please keep up this brilliant work. Liked and subbed.
Do you know if that frame can be done in a 324mm wheelbase!
Great video 👍👍👍
Nice 👍 video....y love Rubicon...
