The negligence of the designer does not detract from the skill of the builder. Very nice project, have been looking forward to seeing the final video and i wasn't disappointed. Bravo Phil
Nope I am looking forward to it. Nice problems to have. I was actually looking to build something to take all the other RC's to the park. Almost got a TRX6 AMG to transform into a James Bond vehicle. This is the Ultimate train wagon/engine to bring all those plus a couple adults
When you have to record a build and plan a video etc.. it’s way more work than just building. I can imagine doing the build with no pressure to complete would actually be a bit more satisfying
I'm all for the model building portion, even if it takes weeks. But an internal driveline failure with gentle, mostly flat surface driving? That is truly unacceptable for the price. This video literally put me off from this purchase, clearly precision Chinesium engineering at work lol It's bit surprising, as other Cross RC models are pretty top notch.
Awesome project mate, can't wait to see it really finished! Its so refreshing to see someone like yourself, the expert, tackling a decent project. The "here's the latest RC" video's are enormously useful to buyers, but most of us are only buyers once or twice a year, if we're lucky. The rest of the time we're either building what we bought, or modifying what we bought. To see you hitting problems with a project and seeing how you tackle those problems, it's not only enormously useful, but it's reassuring to see even the experts hit problems.
Thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback. I enjoy opening a fresh new RC Car, but I'm also getting bored of the same thing over and over again. I have a nice list of projects, including some scratch built stuff, so hoping to get some more interesting stuff out over the next few months
I was just about to comment on the tubes expanding for the hydraulics while watching when you said exactly what I was thinking! Awesome build! It really takes a lot of patience and know how to assemble something so massive and amazing! My hats off to you and much respect! Great video and build! Cheers from Ohio (USA)!
Thank you, Phil, for going through the anguish so that we don't have to. You've neatly highlighted the design and packaging flaws while letting us share some of the pleasure of playing with something which demands so much money, time and effort.
Thanks Del. It’s been a journey that’s for sure! But now the main part is complete, I can slowly improve stuff and upgrade/modify it. Hopefully a long term build that will get better watch time 👌
Haven’t seen your channel in a long time and you didn’t let me down, I have a vid idea , you should review the mn82 lc79 it’s a really cool dirt cheap crawler and it has nice upgrades
This has been an amazing build. I admire your patience. It looked great outside running. You've probably consider this. I know in the UK they have meets or shows where people bring out their large scale trucks and drive them around. I think this would be a big hit at one of those. This a great project.
The truck is a monster. Definitely a one-of-a-kind build as I doubt many people have one. You are the first TH-camr I have seen with one at least. After this thing, one of those ArmorTek 1/6 scale tanks seem like they would be a breeze to build.
Hi Phil, nice to see you finally finishing the land train. It looks amazing and your attention to detail is spot on. You could definitely see this being used in a Mad Max film. 😊
That thing is an absolute monster! It makes the CrossRC 8x8 look tiny in comparison!! With all the issues you're having, it's almost like the company has never built one of them, themselves!! Giving it to someone and telling them, "build this, and tell us what the problems are", rather than having customers facing those issues would surely be a business plan? Either way, it's awesome, and watching the build videos has been fun. Can't wait to see the carnage at EAST!! 😎👍🏻
Dude you out did yourself this time tomley this is a masterpiece I'd love to try and build something like this it's bad ass and home built good job congrats man
Very enjoyable video series. Thanks Phil. Keep going, don't give up on it, we want to see it finished just the way you want it to be. I know you'll get it done!
Super glue/crazy glue is your friend when it comes to bonding painted parts. You can also scrap off the paint from the points of bonding with an xacto knife, then glue. Regular model glue, as you now know, won't cut it.
"50kg RC trail land train" I think its a perfect description! 😅 I'm living the dream of building and owning one through here as I could never afford one... Thank you for sharing your experience Phil! I do think it has a couple of issues that are not acceptable at it's price point. Still an awesome behemoth rig. What a dream! Couldn't you drive with that fork thing slightly raised? Or maybe its illegal...? 😂 To bad it had to go, it does look good.
I hope to see more fantasy style RC vehicles. That's so cool. Very authentic channel. Forgetting the rear lights is exactly the kind of thing I would do.
Wow you have been working hard on this rig. The gun is so smooth. I think you deserve a Master electricians license for all the wiring you did. The truck looks incredible. 🏆
2:18 one tip for an indoor paint booth, if you have a box fan even better but an overspray extractor can be a shop vac with a bag. The overspray will stick to the bag and not everywhere. If you want to get rid of the fumes you could use a charcoal filter or an N95 mask filter. One thing about the shopvac that you have to watch for: flame outs. The motors spark and if you get fume build up WOOSH (ask me how I know? haha)
I saw one of these where the girl fitted a servo to lift the front guard up enough to clear any obstacle and down when on smooth terrain. she also put all the wiring that goes front to rear inside drinking straws painted black.
The problem is, it’s fixed on the chassis. So to make it move you have to remove the main support bars. So although it’ll lift up and down, it’ll not have anything to support it other than the winch lines
@@TomleyRC Been thinking about that. If those tube are hollow maybe some one can assist with a twin screw assembly for that piece that comes of the lower chassis ? providing clearance when lifted! I am still looking for options
Man in feel your pain. I added an rc claw to my trx6 but that pales in comparison to some of those issues. Keep going with it mate.....it will make you smile in the end. Maybe try the new hobbywing v2 crawler motors? They are made for big scale so rc's so maybe a better fit. Also appreciate that they weren't out when you started this beast. Good luck
Your "dystopian style battle truck" is really a great idea. Very original, you should create other vehicles with this style. The front bull bar is very nice but I think it's a little low 😄. Maybe you need a mechanism that raises and lowers it. A bit like on the War Rig in Mad Max Fury Road
You have to be a freaking rocket scientist to get that mt12 working 😂. Days of headaches but neet de range though 😅. Great video mate! Love that beast!
I got a tip for the body fixation you worry about the fact that they are just glued on. Now they are glued, you can weld them. If you got the plastic mold where the part was fixed, then take some of the "plastic tube" and use it as a solder. Use a soldering iron and smelt the plastic of the body and the body fixation and add some platic to it (not to hard to not go through). I used to do this for fixing the part that need to be glued in a hole. if the hole is through, the I smelt the two part to weld them. It's way more efficient than glue but it can be a problem since it cannot be detach, if the part got to more hit, it broke instead of just getting loose.
Awesome build Tomley, congratulations. I use Ess one dual's -greatest plug n play system so far in my book. But this beast deserves better if Benedini sound of Italy are still going you may want to look there, (I fitted about 6 SFX kits to a collectors RC Warbird collection about 10-12 years ago, having no experience with sound kits in RC planes before, Benedini were so helpful, they're stuff is easy to use, programmable and top quality, (their systems need to be heard to be believed, was £250 ish per plane i believe) hope this helps, cheers and best wishes. Andrew.
I'm an experienced model builder and can share the way I paint stuff. I generally pre-paint body panels, then scrape the paint off only where glue is to be applied at contact points. It's critical for proper adhesion of parts. Some things, such as that visor that scootched down on you, I'd use cyanacrylate cement (super glue) for instant adhesion. That rig looks great on camera, good job.
Epic build Phil, well done that man. Very cool truck, but having trouble getting my head around £5000. Man that's a lot of dash... anyhow great video thanks for sharing. John
Great installment of the T Rex! Sorry it had a sheared screw issue. It looked great on the trail while it was running! Did you consider using cable sleeves to help manage the wiring mess this model has? I'm also really curious about the problems you're having with the cannon hydraulics. It will be interesting to see what the issue is and how you correct it. Drive on!
Mix up some acrylic paints (brown black dark green) with a little water..... brush it on the wheel covers, let dry slightly and wipe off... homemade weathered wash
It's a beast. It moans. It's a wonderful build. The grill? Thingy on the front was called in north America a "cow catcher". Your monster is too cool. 🎊🥳🤣🎉
You've done a great job with this build, and I've got to say it doesn't look like an easy one!! But it does look really awesome and I can't wait to see the final product. And I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you have gone through to try and film the whole process. Awesome content 💯💯💯
Just awesome! If you could somehow put that front fork thingy on a servo so that you can flip it up and down that would be fun! I'm sure one more servo won't hurt right? You've got like 18 channels on that radio!
Pure chaos to make Dangerous to handle Only somebody with ur skills an determination could have gone this far looking forward to seeing to sound adjustments ❤
Nice job phil .Bit of a shame the gearbox internals dident hold up , looks like as you said some of the body mounting will need beefing up but thats the fun of these build sorting the issues and modifying ,makeing it better . Look forward to seeing this as you go along thanks for the vids
A once in a lifetime project, I can imagine. It looks so cool. When the lights flick on for the first time I was in awe! I really hope you get the issues sorted out, so we can see it 100% finished and in full glory! (...and so you can finally leave this cool but frustrating project behind you 😅)
Episode 4: ROSSA 200mph club challenge 😁 Jokes aside, that thing looks like a nightmare to build. Respect for you actually finishing it. I bet most of these kits are still partially built collecting dust on shelves👊 👍
The soft hose is definitely most of, if not all of the problem with your hyd pressure. On a real machine the hose is steel braided to eliminate as much expansion as possible and they use pipe for long runs
Awesome stuff Phil. I do like this truck. Mate, 50kg is a fair old weight. Enough to do your back in if you're not careful, so take care. Looking forward to some more vids with this thing. Also it's looking to e like you have the patience of a saint.
I use a 3m product at work called DP6310ns. It's a 2 part urethane adhesive that has a 10 minute work time and is super strong. That would have worked a treat on this project. This is a killer project though and to be honest, I absolutely love it's own mechanical sound. Still interested to hear what it sounds like with the sound box.
man it looks awesome! projects like these are never complete though are they? haha Glad you got your seat to pull you around the shop, get something with some bigger tires and hopefully it will be pulling you around the trail if it doesnt break again! Looks amazing though, I want one haha. Could the cow guard be flipped around backwards? they wouldnt dig into the dirt as badly and might still look cool. flip it one way for off road and the other when youre going down a post-apocalyptic town...
Alex kowaliuk here this project is seriously intense,I don't think we're gonna see a speed test on this one . But it's really beautiful. I still say put some of that aircraft experience to use on an airplane I'd be intrigued to see what you could accomplish.
I had the same issue with my XX10 transmission. That same set pin sheared. I wasn't pushing it hard so I'm a little disappointed if this is a weak point. Hard to get at for repairs.
That front scoop would be good if you were making a course because then it would kind of help level off the areas for the other vehicles that can’t quite make it that would be cool. Use it like a tool.
Ez paint glue fix. Use small pieces of tamiya tape on areas that will need parts glued on before painting the shell. This leaves bare area of cured paint underneath the trim pieces..
I’ve built some hydraulic Rc stuff and you definitely need nylon tubing for the high pressure side, the pressure will blow anything less over time and performance will improve with the nylon tubing on the high pressure side.
15:40 me and my bright ideas....how about replacing the gun barrels with hollow steel tubing and put a small reservoir of talc, and set up an air system where a little puff of talc will shoot out the guns simulating smoke? or even a train smoke generator? Me? I'd be putting in a .177 pellet gun barrel lol....
As much as I love it, I couldn’t do it myself in a million years. Great job. As tough as it must have been is as rewarding as something like that is when it’s done. I am very jealous!
Great work, i just found your channel and I love it, about the truck project i wish you go all in as mad max truck it has all potential to be amazing, i know al lot of work but i believe you can do it ,all respect
That front piece that acts as a kinda rake/plow when down I believe is supposed to be the front bumper/grille guard. I've seen videos where theres a winch attached to that center mount to raise and lower it
@@TomleyRC Hmm, that's too bad. Definitely a design flaw, I'm sure someone somewhere some day will come up with a modification to "fix" that issue. I personally would love to see someone create an add-on piece to the walking platform and rails that runs along the sides of the cab to wrap around the front as well so that (in theory) any post apocalyptic passengers could have a platform to attack or defend off of on the front and possibly even have additional small arms mounted guns. Also would be cool to see a more traditional steam engine era "cow catcher" front plow bumper on the front of one of these rigs that of course could be raised up and down. I bet there are going to be people that are into the scale r/c construction vehicles finding ways of mounting dozer blades, or if you want to get really creative and dangerous, build a mine flail.
The negligence of the designer does not detract from the skill of the builder. Very nice project, have been looking forward to seeing the final video and i wasn't disappointed. Bravo Phil
You have cured me from ever wanting to build that😅
Amen.
100%

Awesome build, great commitment, many lessons to learn and well worth the effort in the long run 🤙🤙
You've got to film it at night with all the lights done. Would be great fun to see
I had the same issue with my XX10 transmission. That same set pin sheared. I wasn't pushing it hard so I'm a little disappointed if this is a weak point. Hard to get at for repairs.
For models I try to glue as much as possible and paint it masked off. Some times you have to scratch the paint off to glue fiddly bits.
That thing looks incredible. It would be great to see it at a truck show.
Way cool sir. I've loved watching the details.
That beast is a work of art. Awesome.
The truck is absolutely fun to drive and built. There is a lot of modifications that has to be done. The hydraulic system also took me a while to do.
That front scoop would be good if you were making a course because then it would kind of help level off the areas for the other vehicles that can’t quite make it that would be cool. Use it like a tool.
That’s soooo dang cool! Nice work!
That is amazing I love the paint job. That was alot of work but looks worth it.
That things a beast! Awesome build.
Cheers dude
What an effort sir. Great rig!!!
Awesome build Phil, I won’t be attempting one anytime soon 😂. See you and it at EAST 😊
Ez paint glue fix.
Use small pieces of tamiya tape on areas that will need parts glued on before painting the shell.
This leaves bare area of cured paint underneath the trim pieces..
I’ve built some hydraulic Rc stuff and you definitely need nylon tubing for the high pressure side, the pressure will blow anything less over time and performance will improve with the nylon tubing on the high pressure side.
Nice build.Have you thought about an air brush paint job?Im just big on patina with the military rigs.
15:40 me and my bright ideas....how about replacing the gun barrels with hollow steel tubing and put a small reservoir of talc, and set up an air system where a little puff of talc will shoot out the guns simulating smoke? or even a train smoke generator? Me? I'd be putting in a .177 pellet gun barrel lol....
Amazing job Phil, well done!
As much as I love it, I couldn’t do it myself in a million years. Great job. As tough as it must have been is as rewarding as something like that is when it’s done. I am very jealous!
What a massive project. Well done. 😊
Purchased the rocket RC programming card and you can set the drag break for both ESC’s
Great work, i just found your channel and I love it, about the truck project i wish you go all in as mad max truck it has all potential to be amazing, i know al lot of work but i believe you can do it ,all respect
Such an epic build. Well done !
Where did you get that front bumper from or did it come with the kit cuz that would be perfect for a build I have in mind
Such an amazing beast ! What a great build
That front piece that acts as a kinda rake/plow when down I believe is supposed to be the front bumper/grille guard. I've seen videos where theres a winch attached to that center mount to raise and lower it
To raise and lower it you need to remove the lower support brackets… which in turn makes it not very secure
@@TomleyRC Hmm, that's too bad. Definitely a design flaw, I'm sure someone somewhere some day will come up with a modification to "fix" that issue. I personally would love to see someone create an add-on piece to the walking platform and rails that runs along the sides of the cab to wrap around the front as well so that (in theory) any post apocalyptic passengers could have a platform to attack or defend off of on the front and possibly even have additional small arms mounted guns. Also would be cool to see a more traditional steam engine era "cow catcher" front plow bumper on the front of one of these rigs that of course could be raised up and down. I bet there are going to be people that are into the scale r/c construction vehicles finding ways of mounting dozer blades, or if you want to get really creative and dangerous, build a mine flail.
