      Agreed def a more down to earth rc channel not trying to just have u but everything new that comes out. You go into detail of where to buy from what parts used and show great running footage I really appreciate what Cape Crawlers does for the hobby Thank you

    Hi Adam. Keep doing this kind of builds from scratch and of course always list the parts in the description. Thanks

    Adam, great review of the Gila. On my third one in several different configurations. DBRC knocked it out of the park with this one. Easily, my best performing 4M. I personally like the defender/bronco front with high trail rear. I would take a look at Injoras adjustable c-hubs. It allows you to tuck up that pinion while still maintaining caster. Also, there new front brass knuckles and front counter weights might help out with the weight bias. If you really want to add some bling to the chassis, send those aluminum rails over to Kyle at KTech for some one-off anodizing. Not sure if you’re already running them, but some SlymeBallz from FlubRC really transform those cling-ons. Keep rocking the great content!

  • @wingnutbert9685
    @wingnutbert9685 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Might be a cool video opportunity to do a comparison build. Before you stretch the rear, progressively add weight to the front on the axles and/or wheels so it's as low as possible. See how that effects the front staying down on uphills. Then try the longer back end with the front back to how it is here in this vid, to compare what it takes to get it equal on uphill angle. Short wheel base can have it's advantages, so it'd be cool to see if you can have your cake, and eat it too, sorta speak. :)
    Thanks Adam!

    Adam, thank you for your commitment to the small scale industry! Obviously, we have a great choice of components. Could you please make a video dedicated to the REAL maximum performance adjustment. In simple words, how to make the most capable(from your point of view) rig, with all the angles,travels, /articulations? Thanks

    Definitely run high trail rear links. It makes a huge performance difference. I run my Buggin out kit with a Torquebeast X paired to a Meus 2speed transmission and is such a fun rig that you can trial and crawl!

      If Matt doesn't mind, I'd definitely check out 'Reactive Terrain' earlier vids. The boys build with a cement soaked cloth method, drooped over forms. Super easy and WAY more durable and looks more realistic than the foam/plaster cloth and paint.

    With these bigger tires, don't they have a tendency to hit the shocks though?? I want to get me a set of these cling on tires & am curious about that.

      It’s perfectly wide enough to clear the shocks at full steer. Probably 1mm of clearance

    When I saw your thumbnail pic I thought what a ugly stubby turd! However it's growing on me slowly. Maybe within the next 13 minutes I will change my mind completely before I finish this video. Love your content as always! Thank you Adam

    • @KBRC81
      @KBRC81 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The stubby turd you speak of is the cage, which is meant to run a specific body on it (lexan bug). The chassis itself is available alone with all the other printed pieces minus the cage.

    • @CapeCrawlers
      @CapeCrawlers  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      LOL! It’s meant to have a beetle body on it, hence the stubby look.
