- Join John Robert as he hits the trails again! This time with the all new Trail Finder 3 from RCWD.
Its stock for now, but will it stay that way?
What do you think he will upgrade first?
Is this rig fully capable out of the box, or does it need the Homes touch?
And what about that paint, it looks so amazing, hope JR doesnt scratch it on the rocks.
Goin on a trail ride........

Excellent commentary! I built my course on thick filter fabric. I'm always on it with the leaf blower, keep it clean😉
Now that would be perfect for the v2 cm and that 380 revolver
Ohh, the v2 would probably be great and possibly not break parts.
- (4:44) PUT A "HOLMES HOBBIES" MOTOR IN IT, DUH JOHN !!! 😆👍
awesome!
Nice crawling bro
Hi Bro. Thanks for the video
I spray a mixture of vinegar and dish soap on the weeds. It works better if you do spray it early in the morning
i use a mixture of vinegar,salt,n dawn dish soap......i use the white rock salt pellets or balls,house salt is fine also...mix in pump sprayer
Great run with a very nice truck!! Flame thrower (Big propane torch) on the rock weeds!!!
Good Job Bro ! ✌️👍💪👌🇲🇨
Neat little truck. I really appreciate my 1.55 trail/crawler rigs after ripping through with “cheater” tires and big power. Sometimes it’s nice to be forced to really pay attention to your line and plan five or more obstacles ahead. Give the feel of really taking your full size baby out.
After using ur motors, I am proudly a motor snob too…. I just bought ur torque master expert 550 21t for my new build. So I can’t wait to try it out! My other truck has the trail master 550 21t in it. Amazing performance….
Actually crawled the rocks better than I thought it would. Looks great, but as is just a decent trail truck. Put your electronics in, and better, bigger tires I think you’ll have something.
Honestly...a 1400 Revolver is perfect for a 2-speed Trailfinder....or a 1450 Classic.
Or a 1800 Puller Pro Standard.
I'm gonna see if a 1800 crawlmaster 10p fits under the motor
R c everyday flipped the rear shackle hangers around it made a big difference
Love it. But mr holmes, its not painted. You can gouge an axe into that body and it'll still be red. / red plastic. Drive it hard as needs be. 😉🤙🏻
Leaf sprung rigs are definitely my favorites to drive. I've almost built no linked rigs since I got my first leafer years ago. lol I'm glad to see you out having fun with it. :D Maybe it's time to build a tiny tire scaler course at the hobby house, eh?
I think it's time! Maybe even plant some little plants!
@@johnrobholmes just nothing that's a creeper and invasive. Ha! Maybe at the beginning of the course you can have a 2x2 grass patch to stand on. Lol
Came for the truck, stayed for the humor
So in 2 years when you come back to USTE, I expect this truck to be fully modded! 🤙🏽
How many tooth pinion come on that truck? I think RC4WD motors are some of the worst Even though most of their products are top notch. Mine had a 14T pinion I switched it to a 9t that changed it a lot. I got a feeling that motor won't begin it long for you. Lol
That being said that I'm a real big fan of your product. The brushless servo is the best I've used by far and obviously the motors are perfect. I honestly don't see how a product is good as even the trailmaster 27t can be as cheap as it is. I put one in my redcat gen8 V-2 for for $17 it was the best investment & upgrade I could have ever done on that truck along with a hobby wing 1080 esc. I have a small TH-cam channel and I have definitely been bragging on your product. I know you have many people that do so but that's because it is quality product. So thank you and keep it coming.
The truck did better at rock crawling than I would have thought. I would use the truck as more of a trail truck. Thoughts ?
I have the original trailfinder 1 and the Trailfinder 2 and I use different rigs for rock crawling. The trailfinders make great trail trucks that look very scale doing their thing but as rock crawlers, not so much.
i don'T have a TF but those 1.55 look cool I think I'll get some for a pickup project
Thanks for another great video Sir! I've been playing with RC for a long time but crawling never seemed to interest me. Watching your videos convinced me to give it a shot and now I'm hooked. Even got my wife into it. I appreciate the time you put in. Keep em comin!!
Hey john, check out A&M garage. They have high clearance bumpers, skid plates and other performance parts for the tf2, they said they are working on tf3 versions currently. I have my tf2 decked out in A&M parts and they make a big difference in the performance of these leafers. Also, remove the smallest leaf on all four corners, install 90mm shocks with no springs inside the housing to increase suspension flex. We use z-box's and revolver shackles on the tf2, they may fit the the tf3 also.
I totally know how you feel my shiny new blue TRX Bronco got its first scratches & I keep adding to them. The first few I was cringing but not anymore. It’s no shelf queen it’s gunna get more for sure. That’s a great looking rig it did well for its size wheels.
Hi John...greeting from Malaysia...you look like Santa...ho..ho..ho....anyway nice rig..
Hey John, quite surprised how fast it is in first gear with the smaller tires. Been running nickles in my rigs, they seam to last as long as the lipos on a charge. I guess that might explain my slower wheel speed. I seam to be getting around 4 half hour drives out of one charge without disconnecting the battery, just switching it off. And nobody believes it.
I sorta want one of these. Lol I may get the tf2 if the price drops. I’m cheap what can I say. I like this rig a lot. Guess I need to get some of your motors for my rigs. I’m giving up brushless and seems your brushed motors are the top performers!
Yo your still too RC Crawler channel to watch! Thanks for making dope videos brother!!
Crawled very well. But looking at how the suspension sags and moves, it's like every leaf sprung ring I've seen - way too over sprung for my tastes (and what keeps me away from leaf sprung trucks). Love to see what it'll do with one of your comparable ("mild") sweet and butter smooth motors.
Your product is Grate really like the quality..Nice 2 see the Legendary man out haven some fun 👍✌👋🌏#Dirt oval
I was on the fence about this 1 but now you convinced me and I'm gonna buy the standard version,thanks 😎👍. I'd like to make it alot slower with better torque. What motor and turn count do you recommend? I was also thinking about your crawlmaster motor for this. But not sure. Thanks and keep on crawling man.

I didn’t see snow in the forecast
So far, all my crawling experience is with the SCX24. But I really want to step up to 1/10. And I think I want a leaf spring truck. So I guess it's either a TF2/3 or an SCX10 with a leaf conversion.
Why would you keep it brushed? Brushless too powerful?
Yeah, brushless will break it unless I'm careful. Maybe crawlmaster since it has a pretty low inertia rotor.
Nice run very stiff suspension though. Keep it shiny.
so... how did Johnny get a red one??? I love the white.. n they don't seem to sell white body alone... love to save my 4runner body
Get a lg propane torch and burn it out!
Nice. I'm looking for a slow motor for my main crawler. What holmes mottoe do you recommend .?
Any ideas when your purple or green special edition servos might be back in stock or the 650? Stock servo in my trx 4 kit went out so went with a NSDRC servo - but I still need one more and want to try yours! Planning on some of your brushed motors when the Traxxas ones give out too! Thanks for the content!
colored ones will be back in stock in about a week or two. 650 will be a few months, we have to work it back into the rotation of manufacture with some changes
The 21T trailmaster motor holmes has is perfect for the TRX IMHO. It's what I use in mine and even on the stock ESC it worked great but with the hobbywing 1080 it's even better.
Stick traxxas motors wpuld only last 1 or 2 runs for me and need swapped. I have well over 20 runs on my trail master in water, mud, rocks etc with 0 issues. Running 3S with each run about an hour long. I plan to pick up 3 more. 1 for a spare and 1 each for my kids redcats.
hate to say it but I spray my rock piles with RoundUp, I know... don't judge
Boo, but gotta do what ya gotta do.
@@HolmesHobbies I have a larger no till area for veggies and the like and we try and use native species that are beneficial to local insects, birds and animals. The rock pile I find hard to manage and any weeds are hard to remove, what would you recommend?
Hey man, when are you getting the crawlmaster sport 550 12t-15t in stock?
Two weeks. Or check amain
Harsh chemicals man thats the only thing that works! Lol jk jus let it be scale obstacles
Hey bud I'm building a mc31 rambler crawler that I got completely screwed over on. I decided to get the torquemaster pro 550 27t motor but I've ran into a speed bump on you're site and would rather come straight to the source. I want to do low speed technical crawling with my rig I have a 2 speed so wheel speed is not a issue. What would be you're best motor under 100$ that will give me plenty of torque without over loading the motor and spinning the tires. Also what is better for what I'm wanting to do 0° of timing or 12° sorry if you have a video explaining all this
That would be a good choice. Or go cheaper and try a trailmaster 21t 550 first to see how you like the speed. 12 degrees timing is great for all around use
@@HolmesHobbies I have the trail master 27t 550 in my vaterra and love it. But I've been told the torque master pro will pull my crawler and trailer with a ecx temper gen 2 like it's nothing.
RC4WD......nice shelfqueens but that's about it.
You can’t drive them like you’re on drugs. You don’t floor a real trucks over rocks, you treat it like a real one and that’s the fun. I have trx4 to beat on when on on a drug fueled rampage 😂

- I DO NOT CARE "DRIVE" TINY TRUCKS, BUT THEY "LOOK" COOL !!! 🤨
... UNTIL YOU ROLL THEM & THE HARD BODY BREAKS !!!! 🤔.....
- THEY DEFINETLY "NEED" LARGER TIRES !!!
