Just to clarify.... I didn't say it's 'Cheap'..... I said it's possibly the 'Cheapest' Fully Loaded RC Crawler you can buy. It cost me £336 Delivered, and just for reference the TRX4 (with a winch) is £620 in the UK. £336 Vs £620... Just saying 😅 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DezkMX9
Been waiting for this review.. love this style truck looks awesome...Great features great price too..definitely be getting one...lot of comments moaning about the price..🤣😂🤣 ..go find something similar cheaper..Great review mate..be great to see some upgrade reviews too...👍
dangit! i was JUST about to head to my LHS for RedCat GEN 9.. Now i'm up in arms! the winch is kinda f*n awesome, and this seems like a REDCAT but not branded as one because radio controller?
@@rogueFactor redcat gen 9 is 400$, this is 537$. Even if the are the same price I would get redcat, or to be honest, trax4 sport is the best crawler for the money
Owning 4 RGT models and have to say I'm always impressed by the value for the money they give. And plenty of spare and upgrade parts available. This one looks like a cheaper alternative to a premium brand, but certainly capable of holding his own. Great review once again 👍🏻
Sure, it's really nicely kitted. But for me in Sweden, it's almost 200 bucks more than a SXC10 II. RTR. So I could get the SCX10 and kit it for like 150, and still come out cheaper. Sure, this is insanely speced, all the goodies. And I bet it's not a bad truck, rather the opposite. But it's a lot of money for off-brand.
Beautiful camera work! And that's a great start to the MORR wrecker, but it's going to take some real dedication to design and print all the pieces to make it close.
Realise you reviewed this rig. Was considering the Rescuer V2 but the price on this is whats keeping me going for this in the coming weeks.. Where I'm from this cost around 300usd so considering what it offers I'm going for it! 😂
Cool truck. I didn't know that the dig function was even a thing. The quality looks there, and as much as I tend to slather grease all over gear trains, they don't need 'that' much. Some is good though.
I wish it was possible to switch the steering to the other axle and switch the body around. That would give scale Rwd/4wd with a line lock on the front, and the winch in the front. My dream crawler would have a reverse dig giving you selectable Rwd/4wd, high/low gearing, selectable locking front and rear diffs, a front winch, and a rear tow boom with winch. A rear dig and front line lock would be nice too.
very nice crawler, just been out with the mini capra today and absolutely love it. Phil is there any chance you can get hold of the yikong df7 for review?
Hi Phil, have you got any idea how to change the endpoints on the DIG & 2speed servo's? I got one of these and fitted an 8.4v Dmond steering servo and a Hobbywing 1080g2 to provide 8.4v to the servo. I also got 2x Dmond 8.4v micro servo's so the 1080 doesn't burn them out but I have no idea how to set the endpoints on Ch7 & 8. Can you help me please? Thanks, Adam
Que tal mi amigo ....!!se están poniendo las pilas los de RGT ya que cuenta con una buena gama de crawlers muy capaces como este modelo con dig, 2 velocidades ejes de portal etc, etc, un 10 su diseño retro muy power wagon...y claro es masivo.....!!!!!saludos desde México
@@user-rv8wb1nl1b never been struck on the kanyon. I don't like the chassis, everything seems cobbled together. I like the look of the tracker but I reckon the challenger might be everything you'd ever need in a crawler
$536 after “fees?” And shipping. Cool truck but far from cheap for a brand that isn’t supported by any local hobby shops. If it was ~$400 to your door then I could see it being at least in the price range of the gen 9 redcat. Trx4’s and scxiii’s can be had all day for $400 used and would be a better supported rig imo. Cool body though!
Other people have gotten a lipo with theirs. Weird... Regardless for $375 USD I ordered one when it came available. Still waiting on delivery but it's already in country so it won't be long.
Quite impressive but a little expensive I think..lots of good features but it is only a rgt/ftx.. don't get me wrong I rate the ftx/rgt crawlers but this is just a bit overpriced I think..I do like the dig function tho.really useful
Might have to start buying these cheaper RCs. Seems to me the quality on them is pretty good these days. But best part is that they still have the old school hobby feel about them. Where everything isn’t already done for you and you can upgrade them with parts you want, not forced parts. And you can easily use whatever batteries you want. Not forced batteries and connectors. I hate that brands force their batteries on you. I already have heaps of batteries. Buy a new high end car these days and you need the brands expensive batteries. No thanks.
@@413RC Yes, as much as they provide a good connection with TH-cam, I gave up with them and use 'Printful' now. But you need a store to link it, so not as easy
I swear RGT is really becoming one of the best I brought my first one back in 2015 an been a fan ever since just getting abit experience for us Aussies
Dude, that is gorgeous! I want to convert one to a wooden flatbed hauler. I'm definitely getting this, one for my brother as well. Excellent review video, Phil. You never disappoint!
Bad ass looking rig! Phil, I know it's a little older but you should look into the rebel rc rebelcon ( aka as the absima sherpa/ yikong yk4102 for you on your side of the pond) fully loaded with lockable diffs too..I love mine !
For those who said "redcat gen8 is better" , "ftx is better", "it is expensive" Bro redcat,ftx and rgt is literally sharing the same exact parts. Just a bit additional from their company. Scx10 II has 100% same axle as rgt ex86100v2 lol. RGT is a premium crawler brand from HSP which is sharing most parts with Redcat. Buy an RGT and find an Axial parts. You can mount it lol
Great looking rig! You should look into what yikong is bringing out now with there 1/8 and 1/10 crawlers. That and the new hobbywing fusion se aswell 👌
RGT keep delivering. Traxxas fans just salty about having to pay extra for stuff that should be included. Looks like brass bits from the LandCruiser should fit portals/diffs.

Patiently waiting for the "World's Largest Wrecker "conversion *Hint Hint* 😏
Might have something along the same idea coming very soon 👌
😂🤘🤘🤘🤘
Came to the comments for this!
COOL LOOKING TRUCK FULL OF FEATURES. MY OPINION REASONABLE PRICE. THANKS FOR SHARING PHIL. TAKE CARE SIR HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK 🇬🇧✌🏼
Cheers Mike. You too mate 😎🤘
When I bought my ECTO, I planned on making it into the worlds largest off road wrecker, but as you know its not done! Cheers, and great video!!
Thanks Mr. Tomley :) Got mine today from Banggood and hopefully the rain's stopped tomorrow so I can try it out. I got the red one.
Great review & video Phil, love the look of this rig, never had a crawler before, very tempted by this one, guess FTX will bring one out soon.
Front axels snaps in no time under heavy use.With a pair of scx lll axels its a fantastic truck.
Beautiful camera work! And that's a great start to the MORR wrecker, but it's going to take some real dedication to design and print all the pieces to make it close.
Subscribed for the potential wrecker build!
Matts off road recovery squat here💪🌞👍🤩😺💫 So we've got a call!!!)
We’ll get ‘em out 🤘
Not a bad price for all the features included. Pretty cool!!
is this the one with the half hard body/half lexan ? and it looks way better in videos than just pictures on a website
It’s got some moulded parts on, but the body is lexan
Like that a lot and not too bad value compared to how much RC stuff is starting to cost these days!
Exactly
I bought one today on ali express . The price is reasonable $554.00 can at my door. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I meant Canadian.
Love the Ref at MORR :)

Tow truck Olympics are coming soon.. If I was to get a new RC This would be in my top 5 .. another nice review.. 👌
Man, that has a ton of features!
Love the "testing" bit.
NEED! RGT Way to go
Holy Moly, I love your pointer!!!!
There nice trucks, I had an crusher. Still better off building a scx10ii builders kit though.
Dude this thing is frickin rad
Awesome looking truck, Phil! Fantastic ride and review! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yes I was pretty impressed!
LOL, in Canada this thing costs TRX4 money... love the body
Nice rig. RGT makes good stuff. Have a couple
Thank you for the good information, I will watch the video well ~^^
great little truck
dayum saving up now. really fell in loce with the green one. pretty much the same colour i wouldve painted a custom body in

Hi Phil, any chance of doing a proline hyrax vs a hyrax knock off video to see if there is any difference.
Nice one, good vid. I was looking for a crawler.
😮 yes a driver is a must always!! But theres no working brake lights 😢😢
Its great fiture. Best Value for money 👍
Love the color. Good decision.
Sweet! 😀. So it just needs batteries/charger... Really cool!
Did this get turned into the wrecker? I would like to see that!
oh yes can't wait to see if anyone does the wrecker build.... looks tidy truck bud 👍
See if I can get Headley to get some of these in the shop..looks a good truck for the money..👍
Looks nice
That is really nice and probably about the right price point, what's your thinking ? great video as always , many thanks
What did you take the photo on
I guess this just gived the trx4 and the scx10 III a good spanking, or at least thats what It looks like mate
very nice crawler, just been out with the mini capra today and absolutely love it. Phil is there any chance you can get hold of the yikong df7 for review?
Hello Mr. Tomley, How has it held up over the last year?
I have an off topic question Tomley what are the dimensions and wheel base of the max smasher body? Thank you.
Where can I get that body mounting system for my RGT Bronco?
Put some 2.2 Mudslingers on it !!
Sway bar on a crawler? I thought that extra axle articulation is desirable, not less

well over $500 here in US with shipping 😟 a TRX-4 is lower cost and readily available.
You should review a Remo hobby
It is just like a diesel engine I'm loud and proud
🔥
So you also watch Matt's Offroad Recovery 🙂
Better channel than RCsaylors.
What will the ftx version be called
I hope ftx pick this up so we get spares and it's easier to order

FTX initially said they wouldn’t be getting this…. but then mentioned they ‘may do’ depending on costs
@@user-rv8wb1nl1b even factoring that in I still think it's a good deal for what you are getting. As long as you can keep it serviced and running.

Will there be any brass available for this thing? Just curious cause I never thought of trying a rgt but I might now
I think the Brass for the Rescuer will fit the portals as they look the same. But RGT usually bring out optional parts

Wow! So cheap!.. $500 to buy plus $495 shipping without the taxes from Aliexpress. 😆 Thanks for the review tho m8. 👍

deans connectors?
So rgt have this one and what is ftx version?
Awesome car shipping is $117 to the USA though
