Been busy lately and I'm trying to catch up on your videos. As always, never disappoint and always fair in reviewing brands regardless of where they come from. Cheers mate. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Oddly, it was refreshing to see something reviewed that isn't the latest and greatest! Thanks, enjoyed the video. Hmm, have you considered the occasional "vintage" review with a modern view? Like maybe a early Axial or anything from the early days of "crawlers"? Might be tough to find something stock and clean.
I have done this with a couple of cars, though not vintage exactly. The HG P401 Bruiser clone is around, the RC4WD TF2, Traxxas Bandit, etc. I do have a proper vintage buggy here to review in that style too. It's a great idea and I'll reach further back in time again soon.
It would be really fun to see a stock AX-10 on the 6 problems. Maybe someone has one you could borrow to test. No matter what you find to test, your videos are always satisfying, thanks!
Great stuff as always. Lots of fun covering an old car. I've got a couple that are forgotten, so i might get them out and see what they're made of for the viewers. Keep doing what you do!
like the Sendero se next spring.. i liked the way it stacked up against the deadbolt.. all you get for the price... how can you go wrong... well I for one thought I was smarter getting the trailwalker black.. swapping parts from it to the se is what's on the project agenda...
AHHH The Mighty RGT EX86010!!! Every day i like more and more mine... my Wifes RC, now whit Droop setup and some cool mods in Bumpers and some up-grades and mods is a very cool, fun and capable crawler!
@@RCTNT It has been a pleasant little box of good surprises. To the point that it is being "prepared" to compete in our regional championship instead of the TRX6x6 HéHéHé! Changing the position of the Battery and putting some LED headlights on the front immediately creates miracles in terms of aesthetics and performance!
@@RCTNT Is a Fun Rc is Cheap, cam be upgraded almost for Free and increase a lot the performance and some small up-grades (Ruber band on the shocks) cam make a big diference!
hey man i’ve got a question, where do you find parts for that jeep? i broke the same shaft that your truck did and i also need a motor plate any advice is appreciated!
I've looked at all my accounts and I just can't find any purchases for this car. I must have fixed it from my spares, which means I can't tell you anything helpful. My memory is pretty bad, I don't even recall breaking this car, I'm sorry!! I wish I could be more helpful. In your shoes I'd probably be looking at redcat Gen 7 parts and also rgt Pioneer EX86110 parts, as both of these may fit (but not guaranteed).
Sure, I'll keep doing them from time to time. Here are some of my other RGT reviews already on the channel: Rock Cruiser V3: th-cam.com/video/4kGbux2WU_0/w-d-xo.html Rock Cruiser V2: th-cam.com/video/Psj6Pwm7ZQA/w-d-xo.html Challenger: th-cam.com/video/SdnoDL7Da1Q/w-d-xo.html Rescuer: th-cam.com/video/l5dUZm_XrrM/w-d-xo.html Pioneer: th-cam.com/video/XW2KO557p6U/w-d-xo.html And their little 1/24 Adventurer V2: th-cam.com/video/3UvIoWJS4lA/w-d-xo.html I don't have plans for the Trample or Pro Runner at this time, but never say never! Cheers.
I've just ordered the Pro Runner after looking closely at it, then I recalled our exchange from yesterday and thought I'd let you know 😊 So much car for the money, my goodness! Good call!
Also, another question, lets say i get any of these RGTs, would you say its possible to swap the tires for rubber ones or at least better quality ones?
Yes, on all of them. They're standard hex nut and 1.9" wheels, so you can buy whatever 1.9" beadlock wheels you like and fit whatever tires you want. I have some tires reviewed here, with many more coming soon! th-cam.com/play/PLP6qQhzesLdq5KWsGLj0A6tU6tOy2WmvT.html
anything else. tucked in a corner maybe?? 😂 seems a decent rig.. and yes a few of the problems... are that for some rigs... that's why we love them.. lol. helps me make educated decisions!!!!
There are more than 10 vehicles of various kinds here awaiting camera time (16 of them, I just counted). The days keep flying by, I'll get to them eventually!
I do enjoy your vids, so thank you. But why leave the spare on there for the 6 problems?? That’s a scale/trail feature. It handicaps the vehicle and we know this. Would you test an Ecto with a spare mounted on the rear? No.
I suspect he first likes to test them out stock, then if it's worth it he will then do different mods, like "trim the fat" and other "upgrades" and see how well it improves. One of the things I enjoy about his channel, seeing what can be done to improve from stock at low or no cost and compare it to "out of the box".
your comment is rude, you added nothing to the conversation.. the truck specifically had issues on Problem 3 and 5 with the spare dragging.. it may have conquered more Problems with no other changes than removing the spare. This is a valid argument.
Bingo. Test out of the box as is, then trim the fat to optimise. If the Ecto cane with a mounted spare then it would definitely stay on for the rock test. The point of the 6 problems is not to get as many as possible done - though that's how I drive it. The point is to see how it drives in stock form. It's a benchmark for future mods and also to give a relative indication of ability vs other vehicles. It's not particularly scientific but it is useful, especially once we start to get a big enough range of vehicles over the course! No need to argue here, guys. It's a legitimate question and that first reply is bang on the answer. Nothing read as rude, IMO. Gotta ask if you want clarification and criticism is always welcome. I have a thick skin and an open mind - always prepared to evaluate and modify it it makes sense to do so, too. Cheers

Don't know I have a lot of control over that, but you're clearly proud of your country's heritage and achievements, and rightly so. Unfortunately, while some RC cars are assembled in the USA, the vast majority are made in Taiwan and China. Here's a non-exhaustive list. I'm probably missing some, but it'll be roughly correct: Traxxas, Losi (Kingstar), Tekno, Team Associated, Axial (Kingstar), Arrma (Kingstar) and some of HPI's vehicles are made in Taiwan. Other of HPI's models are made in China, along with Redcat, RGT, WPL, RCRUN, Boom Racing, FMS, MST, ROCHobby, HG, RC4WD and Cross RC. Tamiya and Kyosho enjoy some manufacturing in Japan but also the Philippines. None of the Jeeps are made in USA. Traxxas does some assembly in the USA with their Taiwanese parts though, I understand.
Yeah, I meant no disrespect nor to be flippant with regards to covid and it's impact on loved ones. Its more that the last few years were compacted and judging time became difficult. 3 or 4 years feels somehow less than usual, so this car seems somehow less old than its age would usually feel. Something like that anyway.
Definitely appreciate your work and time on all brands of crawlers 🤙legend
Thanks 👍
I like how you made sure his hand was on the shifter
Haha, yes. Details!
RC Review has a great video upgrading the blue model , these have always caught my eye , Great Review as Always ! Great Rig
There's plenty of room to upgrade this thing. I don't doubt Francis had some fun with it!

Youve got to love an underdog. 💪🏻
Always!
I'm not in the market for a low priced crawler, but I always enjoy watching a challenger try the 6 problems 🤙
Haha me too!

Keep doing what you do!
I'm often behind the curve with older rigs and it's always been worth it to have a play on camera. Go for it!
Hey I love hearing your ramble lol thanks for the video. Really looks like a fun little crawler.
Heh, thanks bloke.
Just brilliant, your the rock... john
That is, incidentally, what my name means. Craig comes from creag, or rock; origins in Scottish Gaelic. Thanks John 🙂

Great review ! That rig sure could use some better tires 😊
They're not terrible though eh. I'll do a round of improvements on it soon.
Always enjoy your videos!!
Thanks Nathan!
It’s still available though AsiaTees in “volcanic gray” for $401 Australian
Yep, that exact one is linked in the Description :)
AHHH The Mighty RGT EX86010!!! Every day i like more and more mine... my Wifes RC, now whit Droop setup and some cool mods in Bumpers and some up-grades and mods is a very cool, fun and capable crawler!

Move the battery forwards and raise the front bumper if possible 😊
It won't take a lot to make it better. I'll get to it! Cheers
@@RCTNT legend
If it can fit an action figure, it sure is a good rig in my book.
Ha yes always a bonus 😄
Some metal beadlocks would definitely help with the weight down low
Certainly, yes they would!
Cool jeep,looks to run great 👌👍👍👍
I would like to see a review of the rgt ex86100, again it's an old rig but it does look promessing.
I agree but I'm not sure I'll get that one at this point. Am watching rgt closely though, we'll see what's in the pipeline for 2024.
I like that sparkplug man sticker
Haha yeah he's cool
That's Tein, a suspension company
hey man i’ve got a question, where do you find parts for that jeep? i broke the same shaft that your truck did and i also need a motor plate any advice is appreciated!

In your shoes I'd probably be looking at redcat Gen 7 parts and also rgt Pioneer EX86110 parts, as both of these may fit (but not guaranteed).
Mount the tire on the hood to put weight on the front, for the price it’s capable as a crawler with mods.
That's a bright idea, I like it!
Do you plan on reviewing other RGTs? I honestly would love to see the Trample, the Cruiser V3, the Rock Cruiser V2 (or the V2 Pro) and the Pro Runner.

“As old as COVID” 😂

Its more that the last few years were compacted and judging time became difficult. 3 or 4 years feels somehow less than usual, so this car seems somehow less old than its age would usually feel. Something like that anyway.
@@RCTNT For what it's worth, it just struck me as a funny turn of phrase. Made me chuckle. No offense taken here.
Off Raod? I’m pretty sure certain regions pronounce it that way.
That may be the case, but I'm pretty sure that would not be English! (right? Happy to be wrong here but that's my thinking!)
Think the motor is a 5 slot, so slower than a standard 550 17 turn 3 slot. More like a 35.
Is it really?? I don't know how I missed that - but it does make sense now you say it. Thanks for catching that!
