I have the yellow one, I'm not really into crawling, and would have preferred an H1 Hummer Version. I changed the esc to a HobbyWing, Much faster, Much better, and binded it to a Dumbo Remote. Nice Job as always. Have a Happy
Great little Jeep 4x4 from MJX. How about a set of Treal Brass Hexes and Alloy Wheels and low down weight with better Tires? Should be awesome and have lots of traction.
This looks like a pretty cool platform I really don’t understand the metal body. I’d like to see someone throw some brass wheels good tires and a lexan body on this thing I think it would have noticeable performance gains. Great review as always fella 🤙🤘
I guess the yellow one is the only one that comes with 2 sets or tires. I am pretty sure it has some softer tries more suited for crawling in the box. Either way, great video, and im not sure why, but i still want one of these things!
You have done another excellent review and test. I just wonder why they would choose a metal body. It works against it as a crawler. It seems durable and could be a lot of fun. I think it it needs a driver. Maybe you could put a small skeleton or dinosaur in it.
Thanks for trying out the old remote, these new controllers are not that great. You gave me an idea to try the old controller on the 20208/C8811 and see if it makes any difference to the lag problem. Also, are 12mm hexes metal? Great video!!
You’re welcome! I checked and it works on the c8811 but I didn’t test it enough to see if there was no lag. My lag was off and on weirdly enough anyway. Let me know how it does! Yes the hexes are metal!! 😃
This must be the first time you've showed that spiral staircase for the crawlers, right? I don't think i missed a video. It looks great! The nutcracker, however, creeps me out. All nutcrackers creep me out. They wear a LOT of makeup. Happy New Year to you and your family. And just watch: this year you will crack 50 thousand subs. I believe in you.
I think it’s been featured in 6 videos now 😂. Out of all people I figured you wouldn’t have missed it 😆. Nutcrackers are definitely creepy! I was hoping to get 25k subs by the end of this year but I’ll be a few hundo short. 50k is my goal for next year!!!! Thanks man!!!
@RcPlayer-tt2vw I Am brand new at this is there a certain name brand or no and then numbers at least that high is it good going up on them numbers or down
@@wadebarnes6720 the higher c rating is the punch , the 5000 mah good size for both those cars , that’s the capacity and pertains to the size of the battery . They get bigger as you go up in numbers . Ovonic are a safe bet . The kraton you can use two 3s but make sure soft packs . If you go over 5 6000 mah you can only use one battery . Batteries start getting bigger and hard cases always bigger
Ok i wanna see ya stick yhat landing again yeah that 1 This truck looks like it be a killer trail rig n was actually suprised at the side hill yeah needs some tweeks but from the video ya put out this is gonna be a cool rig good video as always i think i heard granny hollorin for jello out of the basement window
Haha! That was a good one. Ya not too bad for trail if it doesn’t get too sideways. Granny better still be in the attic!! The basement is my one quiet space!
Oh gotcha! I’m sure there is a way to test it’s top amperage output. Maybe an amp clamp and see where it tops out at as you go up in battery voltage lol. Not sure I’d recommend such a test. I’m sure there is a way though.
Hmmmm... I'm pretty sure I've seen others using the app on both ESC versions... Of course I could be mistaken. It's definitely an odd one this isn't it..!?.. Is it a rock crawler, a trail truck, a rock racer, all of the above or something entirely different.? I've seen them on AliExpress for around £120 which isn't a bad price for what it is.! At that price you don't mind putting a bit more into it to make it into something better. Thanks for another great RC video my good man,
I’m not sure but it didn’t hook up like the other two do. Plus has the physical “set” button I don’t recall the others having. Right it’s got an identity crisis but I think I am going to try to make something wicked cool with it!
@DerbyCityRC tbh it's not something I have even tryed so I shouldn't knock it untill I try it haha and if I'm honest when it comes to real life vehicles I do love anything 4x4 that is built for off roading in general ie landrover defenders, jeep etc so really crawlers should be my kinda thing but I would get bored I just know it hahaha
Awesome video ! I like it ! I’d drive the crap out of that thing looks fun! The roof landing on the stump 😂 wicked funny. Nice driving too it’s challenging but did pretty good overall great job 😄
I wish mjx had better distribution in the States. Other than the few trucks they have on Amazon, I don't trust Ali Express or Banggood all that much. Especially Ali.
JEEP SO ANGRY!!! Reminds me of the Redcat Wendigo. Just something nobody asked for or really wanted. However a kid would probably think it's the greatest thing in the world and that's great.
I think they were trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. Black one for Rock racing and yellow for crawling. Down side adding a bunch of brass to offset metal body will make it heavy. I think the metal body is cool idea just has one small issue being top heavy.
Love the idea but the either need a 10th or 18th scale 22 scale is just a odd size for crawler i mean theres a few but i feel the marked to be competitive in would not be the 12th scale market just my opinion
That receiver box is baffling! It's ginormous, and the placement goes against all logic for any kind of crawler or trail truck. It's really far back and really high. That's bad for business when it comes to weight bias. haha
I know lol of course that would have made it even more top heavy lol I’m not sure lol. If so it’s a knock off version. I get music from a paid subscription service but still can’t use copyright stuff 😃
if they made it plastic and 1/18, they couldve maybe turned a profit w a decent performer like an ascent 18. Or do almost the same thing w this jeep but make it a 1/10.
I have the yellow one, I'm not really into crawling, and would have preferred an H1 Hummer Version. I changed the esc to a HobbyWing, Much faster, Much better, and binded it to a Dumbo Remote. Nice Job as always. Have a Happy
Nice! Definitely seems pretty durable. You have a happy also!!!
Yes! More crawler videos please!! Cool little truck
There shall be more!!!
@@DerbyCityRC this little thing is going to look cool once it gets scratched and dented up. Good base to start with
Totes!!!
Cool bit about the old radio & I think you found it's happy place bouncing on those pebbles
We shall name this the pebble bouncer 😂
@@DerbyCityRC I concur! 🙌😄
If they changed the title from crawler to trail truck, they'd be golden......
True! Or the tires 😂
Great overview of its strengths and weaknesses!

Couple of Yo Jo's .....or Cobra peep's would look pretty cool out bein Weekend Wariors!!! Great vid as always 👌!!!❤️🔥👊
0:11 that's why I've been watching closely the newly launched Yikong, that Nissan Patrol body looks great and feels fresh among the sea of Jeeps.
Nice!! I’d like to see some more old school stuff too!
The Yikong Nissan is on my short list of 2025 purchases
Ya that does look good!!

It's a very good crawler RC. 🚙
I've learned a lot about its pros and cons.
Cool little ride
I guess the yellow one is the only one that comes with 2 sets or tires. I am pretty sure it has some softer tries more suited for crawling in the box. Either way, great video, and im not sure why, but i still want one of these things!
That could be! I get the appeal. It’s still a sweet rig. I want to make it into a sweet little crawl beast!
Isn’t 3650 10 th scale motor

DCRC in the house! Woot!
Also: your Amazon link to the HBX 2997A shows "Currently Unavailable " 😢
I’m surprised the paintwork didn’t chip off the metal body after crashing! Great vid buddy 👍🏼
Ya the paint did rather well! Thanks my friend!!
What size granite would you recommend I just realized they have three different sizes

What kind of name brand of batteries do you recommend .for kraton 6s and granite 2s
Hooves on Amazon are really good I’ve used a lot different brands from amazon
Most are decent just make sure at least 50 to 100c and 5000 mah for good run time . IC 5 connectors
@RcPlayer-tt2vw I Am brand new at this is there a certain name brand or no and then numbers at least that high is it good going up on them numbers or down
@RcPlayer-tt2vw ouonic I seen you recommend this brand is it this brand or another brand you would think would be a good one

You know...for me the best part of the video was when it turned over onto its back like a cockroach! 😁😁
Haha! That was funny lol
Ok i wanna see ya stick yhat landing again yeah that 1 This truck looks like it be a killer trail rig n was actually suprised at the side hill yeah needs some tweeks but from the video ya put out this is gonna be a cool rig good video as always i think i heard granny hollorin for jello out of the basement window

Granny better still be in the attic!! The basement is my one quiet space!
@ she's studying under jeff dunham then 😁😉
Is there a way to identify an unlabeled esc ? Trying to find out how many amps it is.
The listing states it’s a 45 amp
@DerbyCityRC oh sorry I meant for any Esc not just this one
Oh gotcha! I’m sure there is a way to test it’s top amperage output. Maybe an amp clamp and see where it tops out at as you go up in battery voltage lol. Not sure I’d recommend such a test. I’m sure there is a way though.

I've seen them on AliExpress for around £120 which isn't a bad price for what it is.!
At that price you don't mind putting a bit more into it to make it into something better.
Thanks for another great RC video my good man,
I’m not sure but it didn’t hook up like the other two do. Plus has the physical “set” button I don’t recall the others having. Right it’s got an identity crisis but I think I am going to try to make something wicked cool with it!
That’s a tough sell. Looks cool xcept angry grill
I’m one of the weird ones that doesn’t mind the angry eyes IF it’s gonna be a jeep lol. I’ll see what I can do with it!
Crawlers really arnt my thing but great review as always mate. Keep em coming
Ya out of ramping, drifting, and crawling, crawling takes 3rd but I still like love it! Thanks man!
@DerbyCityRC tbh it's not something I have even tryed so I shouldn't knock it untill I try it haha and if I'm honest when it comes to real life vehicles I do love anything 4x4 that is built for off roading in general ie landrover defenders, jeep etc so really crawlers should be my kinda thing but I would get bored I just know it hahaha
Definitely give it a try when you’re ready lol. It’s not as boring as it seems. Atleast for me lol
@@DerbyCityRC I definitely will 1 day. I might even buy this exact one as a starter haha
Awesome video ! I like it ! I’d drive the crap out of that thing looks fun! The roof landing on the stump 😂 wicked funny. Nice driving too it’s challenging but did pretty good overall great job 😄
Thanks! Definitely fun when it’s not tipping!! It does add to the challenge aspect so yes there’s definitely something there! Thanks!! 😆😃
I wish mjx had better distribution in the States. Other than the few trucks they have on Amazon, I don't trust Ali Express or Banggood all that much. Especially Ali.
Once again, great video !
But no ramp jumping ?? Lol
Haha! Coming soon on the next one 😂
Not a bad look but could be a better crawler. Not really a fan of a crawler bouncer unless it has a 2 speed transmission. Cool video!
JEEP SO ANGRY!!!
Reminds me of the Redcat Wendigo. Just something nobody asked for or really wanted. However a kid would probably think it's the greatest thing in the world and that's great.
So angry!! lol ya I agree lol
It did better than I thought it would 😉
Ya not necessarily terrible lol
I think they were trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. Black one for Rock racing and yellow for crawling. Down side adding a bunch of brass to offset metal body will make it heavy. I think the metal body is cool idea just has one small issue being top heavy.
Could be! Does the yellow have softer grippier tires? I agree I love the metal body idea, it just didn’t help it lol
@@DerbyCityRC I believe they are the same. They look identical aside of the Yellow one has chrome wheels.
Love the idea but the either need a 10th or 18th scale 22 scale is just a odd size for crawler i mean theres a few but i feel the marked to be competitive in would not be the 12th scale market just my opinion
Maybe they did it to fill the 1/12 void lol. I might try to build this into something awesome.
@DerbyCityRC well the just did the element 22th scale which is super close to the cr12 from team associated but it looks cool for sure
SICK VID!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
8:30 so glad you recorded that! 😮
That receiver box is baffling! It's ginormous, and the placement goes against all logic for any kind of crawler or trail truck. It's really far back and really high. That's bad for business when it comes to weight bias. haha
It’s ok… nothing to write home about… but yes, more fun cruising
I'll bet the receiver is in a box so high up to help it be "water proof".
Ya that’s true. That gasket likely won’t be fully waterproof!
They either fixed the baffling decision to put the power button ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SKID, or that's only on the yellow one
Yes only the yellow with foc has the power button on bottom.
What a strange place! Yup this one it’s easily accessible under the body shell.
Dude just give it the beans 🫘 all the sauce .. stuff a max 6 combo in it .. why not?
I think I’m gonna try to make it into an actual good crawler lol
Everything metal but the main gears 😂
Was that GTA mission music? 🔥
I know lol of course that would have made it even more top heavy lol
I’m not sure lol. If so it’s a knock off version. I get music from a paid subscription service but still can’t use copyright stuff 😃
i guess i can see why they thought this was a good idea, but i don't think theyll sell many
if they made it plastic and 1/18, they couldve maybe turned a profit w a decent performer like an ascent 18. Or do almost the same thing w this jeep but make it a 1/10.
Throw a lipo in it 🤣
😂😂
Looks expensive 🤔🤔
those tires are crap , and ugly , but it looks pretty good throw in a fusion and then your talkin
Yup tires are poop. That alone would definitely make a big difference!
