7-8. My TRX4 Defender was always in Dakar Rally mode. 😂Great news update. I'm excited to see some action in the 2.2 world again. Felt like the Wraith and class fell off the map about 2 years ago.
So many music lyric subtitles, Dorrough, Lost Boyz, Limp Bizkit, T.I. Well done, good sir.
Oh yeah I’m on the bottom end of that spectrum for sure. I’d easily say I’m a 2. I make my trucks as slow and smooth as possible. lol
King Scott right? I dont even put fast strong servos in my trucks. I hate when the tires turn quickly with a lot of confidence. When i wheel my 1:1 trucks things happen slow and thats how i like my rc to act. As real as possible.
I like the balance.....5-7.....sort of a U4, fast but crawlable. Trailable. You know....Goldilocks!!!!
I guess I'd better build my Dual Rider.
I like scale. So I'm around a 2-3. But I like scale on 40's and 44's.
So I'm definitely a 4.19 to 4.45 size tire.
As for speed...most my rigs have 2-speeds AND Holmes power so they are fast too.
3 to 4 not interested in speed but not afraid to cartwheel down a ledge either. All my rigs have drivers!
what he said
We gave away $1,100 for one run on one hill. There was no buy in for that give away. 38 drivers at our season opener. Check out the National Rock Racing Association.
Stuff the big block in it (Teken T8I 1600kv) send it. 3cell power/ speed out of a 2 cell. Don't get me wrong I crawl the hell out of it but I'm not afraid to tip it over, or powered self-recovery. The best is rock walls were throttle control is critical . 50-75 rpm is stoped 60-100rpm is inching forward 45-150rpm will peel the front tires off the wall into a full-on backflip some times 20' up hunting out a path. Slick rock around Yosemite is fun.
A solid 5. Keeping ratios at near 50:1, 3s, and 17-2000kv range brushed motors.
1st nation's people of the SW have this lore also. Asked a couple of buddies. And redcats home office is in PHX. Probably the inspiration. That being said, was thinking of getting more of a go fast, think this might hit a sweet spot for me. Don't dig the gap in the rear, but can be remedied.
Good stuff as usual, my friend 👍🍻
I have a set of 2.2 braven on the way To try out on my vanquish scx10 2 portal swapped capra since there not crazy tall
Out of 1-10, Plaid. Ever since I got into RC, I've focused solely on Off-Road racing, First around town and then at the local track. However, The rock racer 'genre' of the hobby interests me but I have no idea what is good or not in said category, Any suggestions for a cheap, Basic way of feeling my way in?
Im more of a 6-7, I like to make things as scale as possible while still maintaining good performance. I end up getting bored with trucks that look really cool but can only crawl pebbles. Im picking up the wendigo to give it a whirl. Looks pretty good.
MO powa baby. I run a tekin rx4 with 3bros sensors 3300kv on 4s in a vaterra k5. On currie rock jocks, incision shafts , truck is kit version with upgraded everything
I've seen you drive Josh, you're a 7, unless there's an obstacle, then you're a 12
My custom rig is a scratch built styrene defender -ish trail truck. The 20T reedy 5 slot on 3s gives me a top speed of about 4mph. So I am probably on the low end of the scale!
Ive got around 1200 into my 10.2 so id say around a 3/4 but my trx4 should need FAA clearance, id say about an 8 for it. Just depends on what in running
I'm probably about a 2-3. I like going really slow and capturing a really nice super scale look. That being said, it's always fun to gun it over something every once in a while
I'm a 1 who doesn't care about body damage or rolling, although I try not to. Honestly, I have two modes; going out on the trail at Folsom I'm all about #1 , but when the sun sets at the lake and we are walking back in the dark, I'm all about #10... lights on full throttle no scale driving just get me to a beer.
I'd say I'm about an 8. I like trail walking, but I always find myself trying to make my RC cars as fast as possible.
That's a tough question, i think i'd be around a 3 or 4, love slow scale driving and when you put all kinds of money in a hardbody build i really cringe at damage, When i wanna 'rock race' i go with my yeti, to bad the yeti gets so much hate cuz i freakin love mine and when you drive it as intended, it's a blast. as for the wendigo, that's a hard nopper, not for me!!
2-3 don't care much about scale but like to drive along a hiking trail and crawling on the rocks still have all my comp rigs if I want to get serious about crawling 🦂🐐🐉
I would say I am a 4, I like to be very scale but I like the additional performance from a class 2 truck with a brushless system.
I think you nailed it bro! Motor an esc would be first to go. I'm liking the platform it's on more. I curios how well the sway bar works on the torque twist.
Love my dancing rider. I have a couple crawlers, trailers. Rock racer type would be fun.
I say 5 or 6 i run Lexan bodies I do like the scale them up as much as possible Always enjoy hearing what’s going on in the scale world 🏎❤️
I'm somewhere around 6 where I like scale crawling skewed towards performance, but I like to have excess speed and power on hand.
Loving the Dorrough lyrics and Lost Boyz lyrics in the first two updates, pretty sure nobody else caught that lol... 💪🏾💯🚀🔥
Thanks for taking about the drag race. Hope you can make the next one
I’m feelin like I’m a 4 or 5 just depends on the day and the terrain I’m in
It depends on what rig I'm running, I'll bounce my Bomber over anything, sometimes even successfully, lol. If I have one of my hardbody trail rigs, I try to drive it scale.
I would just take the esc and motor out anyway I wish you could get
Most rtr with out electronic simple to cut the price down cause agin it’s sensor less kinds pointless who know mabey they will come out with a Holmes Hobbies one lol I can dream
I would like to get to being a 2 or 3 but for now I am probably a 5. Always look forward to SNU.
SCX10s I'm a 5, hard bodies are a 1 *lol*
I would say I'm about a 7. I like to crawl super slow but on the trails I'm running sometimes
I'm seeing the new cat as a really nice mega mud truck . Not in to rock racing much . But this is what I was hoping for in a new mega mud truck .
I'm most definitely a 1. I'm always asking WHY ARE YOU "CRAWLING" SO FAST?!? 🤣
I got a trx4 with a castle 3800kv motor that runs 6s I can either crawl or go 50+ lol
I only got into RC because I couldn’t afford a rock bouncer.
I really depends on what truck I am driving 4 to 6
Would like to buy the wendigo but with 6 rigs I really can’t afford it lol, and being 15 doesn’t help with paying for it. Another great scale update!
Overland_RC work my ass off mowing lawns and manual labor, mom and dad didn’t pay for the bulk of my collection.
Word
Lost Boyz reference " bimaz n bens" time reference top let back. I think ur musical taste bro. My favorite rc channel by far
Rock racing 10 then 9 on the rock gardens unless I can jump it
I'd be a 3 MAYBE 4. I'm a scale trail guy.
I'd say somewhere in the middle depending on what vehicle I'm driving ,scx10ii ,wraith,yeti ,scx10 Mudd truck ,gen 7 lol
I would say an 8, just got into rock racer class, I like the speed and be able to go where my trail trucks struggle. But I also like going slow with my trail trucks and just enjoy nature.
Im a little of both. I love speed but love slow crawling as well.
6 to 7. Depends on the rig. But my Motto is as long as it is fun, it doesnt matter.
I'm either a 3, love it slow and scale or a full blown 10 with other rigs that sits more on the workbench... 🤪
3 most days... Sometimes full send 10.
Not ashamed of it but I’m definitely a 10
I'm a solid 6. My driving style is a 6 as well. Lol
5-7 for me I think. Sometimes maybe 12. N Josh, you must not video yourself much when yer in that slow n controlled 6 ta 7ish mode.😼
I like to think I'm a 3ish ... but probably officially I'm closer to a 4 or 5.
That Wendigo looks kind of like a Dingo body.
SNUUUUUU!
I'm probably a 7 maybe 8 I feel the need for speed
I would say I'm about a 5 maybe 6 depends on the day
I say I am a 5 love both the speed and the crawl
Depends on which rig I’m driving. But my most scale rigs im a 1-2.
I got one on the way ordered mine last night
I was a 2 when I got my Trx4, I cringed when I rolled it the first few times but now I'm a 6ish. Rocks are my favorite but hauling butt to the rocks is a blast too.
I'm 2.... Maybe 3 on your 1-10 question.
I can't believe how MUCH cool RC Action there is in Vegas!! I lived in Vegas (Henderson/Green Valley), from 94-02, and there was NOTHING there. 😖
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
4-6 depending on how many vertical feet the truck is likely to fall. I am pretty surprised by how much abuse the HPI Wheelyking/CrawlerKing can take, only have broken one plastic part despite the truck having fallen 30+ vertical feet off of rocks down in the Snake River Canyon. Actually surprised the GoPro that I attach to the HPI still works despite the amount of tumbles its taken with the truck.
5 definitely in the middle until I get angry 😡 lol I go full send 20
Probably down the middle, for me. If I’m going trailing in the mountains, it’s low&slow with a 2S, but around the house, or on nearby forestry roads, or ATV trails, it’s 3S and anything goes. I like the look of that Wendigo, as it resembles the old AX10 2.2 Deadbolt, which I still like to this day, and the ladder frame makes it all the better. I suspect they had this planned when they designed the Gen8 frame so large.
Using your logic, I’m a 5
Love the fast lines under control, But a slow challenging line will always be more fun. Creepy!
4 to 5.Love to crawl and love speed when I want it.Like scalish looks,but not in the "it looks real" category.
A definite 1 for me, my axial Cherokee is painted to match my full size 2000 Cherokee so I drive them the same. I am totally into scale RC vehicles just not into rock crawling. Next builds are a fully caged with interior Class 5 1600 Baja Bug and a Jeepspeed Cherokee, so yes I do love speed.
I'd say 5/6. Nice to power through some gnarly terrain but there's just something about that slow crawl... watching the suspension articulate...tires gripping the ground. Awesome stuff 😎
I have the tendency to just let it go😉, WhereverTHE POWER SENDS IT TOO🤓 just so , It up right ,
I think I am about a 7 or 8 kinda guy.👍🏼🤙🏽
But also enjoy some 2 and 3 in between the bouncing/racing.
I'd say I'm in the 2-3 range. I love slow crawling through technical climbs watching the suspension do work. Not too worried about the body damage thing tho. I tend to push my rigs to the limits as often as possible 😁 just not big on the speed
Thanks for the videos. I recently got into RC in preparation for some hobbies to do with my boy. I bought the Everest 10 to test the waters and love it but already want to expand and have around 4 different units I would eventually like to own.
My 1st decision right now is between the Redcat Wendigo and the Losi Rock Rey. I am looking for a unit that would be fun to take camping and run on some trails, back yard bashing and maybe also some crawling. I am quite easy on everything I own and when J say bash I'm not jumping it 10 ft in the air etc.
The Wendigo clearly does not crawl with current electronics but could potentially if I upgraded to Holmes sensored brushless. But that would also make this an expensive rig combined with myself living in Canada where they cost more.
Alternatively the Losi seems to make it's way through some of the non extreme rocks from factory and also appears to handle quite well when running fast.
What is your opinion on the matter?
I have a UDR and DMG Bomber when I'm feeling 11, and I have a bunch of hardbody rigs that put me in the 1-2 frame of mind. In the middle I have a class 2 and working on class 1 hardbodies that get sent into battle with personal best driving performance with necessary body damage already in my mind. I call it dynamic weathering, and occasionally take missing paint and hit it with the rust effects pens.
My finger is pretty heavy...and my truck is usually bouncing. It just happens.
I used to be more 8-9, but in the more recent years I've gone more towards 5-6, mainly depends on what truck I'm running, and that new redcat looks like a ladder frame competitor to the axial ridgecrest, 2.2 basher/crawler
I'm more like a 2.... Scale driving without trying to damage my body too much on purpose but not worried about getting trail rash on it at the same time. I don't like bashing my way up trails.... As a general rule if I don't drive my 1:1 like that I wouldn't drive my scale Willys like that.
But..... I am building a 6th scale Willys into a Malaysian Rainforest Challenge style rig that is being built to drive like they do at that event. So if will be built to take the beating and do it with enough scale speed.
I'm prolly a 2-4 on crawling, I love super scale, I try to go slow as possible and try to make it up &throw everything with almost zero wheel speed/tire spin
4, or 5, I feel like you break less thing the slower you go. But there times when you want some speed, my first RC, from way back, was a TamaYa Subaru Brat, I built it for as much speed as I could get, I broke something every time i put on the ground.
1or 2 definitely ever since getting into FPV Quads No "Fast" RC car does it for me anymore, Slow and careful for me!!!
6-7 45:1 gearingish and 2700 kv going slow is fun, but being able to go places you can't go without speed is more fun.
9 to 10 for sure! Haha brushless all day. I try to build metal bumpers and skid plates so when I smash into rocks it’s dents that. Also I came from a bashing background and still my most capable rc is my xmaxx lol full speed up anything
Guess I'm dumb, but I can't find a running video of the 1.9 Wraith after motor swap to HW AXe FOC.
I have quite a few rigs...so, depending on what I'm driving determines the amount of speed I'm using...so, 2, 5, or 8.
4-8 spending on the rig with run, lol!
I'd say I'm a 5 on the scale. The Redcat reminds me more of a 2.2 version of the Axial Jeep G6 than anything Wraith.
I'm a 6 ish...my rig and speed choices are very much like yours...which is one of the main reasons I love your channel so much. And like you, when I want some speed, I break out the bomber.
Think I am a 6, I often feel the guilt after subjecting my rig to a stupid impulsive 7-10 drive, just need to get a bomber
5 but i just love the rc hobby i love going fast as hell jumping 30-40 feet in the air to going on a nature walk with the crawlers or running some boats. Rc hobby is so fun and relaxing. And it keeps my kid imagination going good and strong lol. Cant wait for the next update video.
I try to be a 3 always end up a 8 👍🏻💯 love having horsepower 💪🏼💪🏼
I think it’s pronounced Win’Ding’Go
I used google pronunciation to check, but who knows 🤷🏻♂️
I am in the 2-3 range, do not care so much about scale but love comp crawlers, like rock bouncers but they are stupid fast at this time and poor performers, that may change as things develop. I love 2.2 nice to see Redcat buck the sheep mentality.
Gotta have a rig for everything gen 8 for the days I wanna go push a scale truck through some tough terrain TF2 for the realism and an old Losi comp crawler for some 2.2 technical fun
I like to wheel both
Definitely a 1-2 myself. Love superscale
I’m probably a 6
5.5
Nice review Josh 👌
