That's why I go to as many local hobby shops when we are traveling. You never know what cool stuff you will find!!! This is a cool rig!!! Great find!!!👍👍👍
I just walked near my bed and remembered i have one of these 😂i completely forgot about it i got it probably 4 years ago. I really want to go out and drive it now
Most common problems with those are the driveshafts. They are not strong enough for the rig. Super easy fix. Pen spring mod and siping the tires work really great for this rig. You can also buy a carbon fiber body to lighten it up. It will require different links though. I have two and I am happy with them! Glad to see you picked one up!
@@isaiah9313 I have two of them. I used a 1/10 driveshaft from ECX and also a universal metal one. Both driveshaft you have to clearance the transmission case.
Coincidently, I'm not far from there, I was born and raised in the Coeur D'Alene area. InControl Hobbies is in Post Falls Idaho. I was looking for a size comparison for this crawler because I travel for work and would like something small to take on the road. ECX is always a good option for budget RCs. I got a ECX stadium truck for my wife it is impressive for the price.
@@UpperLeftRC It looks like its wicked fun, much faster then the Danchee. So Id bet a dried creek would be so fun to haul up and down with that rig. or even just doing a hill climb! and for that price, might have to get one now!
That is a really sweet little rig. Looks fun. Different motor and who knows. Could you run a lipo with that motor. I was thinking its semi rock bouncer style for sure. But could just change some gearing and well you know. Say word. Thanks as always.
The people over at In controll hobbies are the best! They always have the parts that no one in spokane has!
Heck yeah, they were all super nice and it was a cool spot to hang out

Thanks bud, I’m super happy to have stumbled upon it 🤘🏼😄
Mine needs a steering servo. It’s fun and I have done some mods to mine with spare parts and spare wheels with bigger tires.
I have a blue ECX Temper Gen2 rock crawler I absolutely love it lights beads locks can't beat it for the price !!!!!!!!!!!!!
100% agree!

🤣 that’s awesome lol
A few little things and that little buggy would be a killer little crawler. Great price point for someone getting into the hobby as well
For sure, at $159 it’s a great starter for anyone 🤘🏼

Awesome tips, I’ll keep that in mind when I start to mod mine 😄👍🏻
How do you fix the weak driveshaft

@@rekik66 do you have links ? I'm interested in building one to bang with the 1/10 crawlers here.
What I really like about these is the central 540 motor vs like Grayson’s danchee that’s motor on axle. It allows many options for mods.
For sure! 😎👍🏻
The ecx has a 380 motor

Looks like a lot of fun. Also seems pretty capable as a rock bouncer style rig.
Correct on both statements lol
That’s a cool little crawler.
For sure 😄👍🏻
Fun little ripper!
🤘🏼😎
Cool little car 🤩
Yeah it is 👍🏻
Bro this thing looks awesome....does pretty good to man....hell yea great video bro even without all your stuff....how much is that beast
$159 Ready to run, batteries and all 🤘🏼😄
I've been looking at one of those!!
They are really fun to run 🤘🏼😄
I fell like all the bad reviews, the people were insane. the temper is pretty good, toss a 1080 it in and it really comes alive! I love mine!
I haven’t looked for any reviews about this rig but I’m shocked that anyone would say anything negative about it, it’s so fun 👍🏻
I live in Coeur d’Alene Idaho and I go to in control hobbies almost every week and I also have a temper but it is blue
Awesome! We’ll say high to them for me when you are there next time, I don’t think they will remember me lol but worth a shot!😄👍🏻
@@UpperLeftRC ok😂
Dang man! That rig looks awesome, might be a good comparison to the Danchee.
Yeah that’s kinda what I think it’s comparable too, never ran the Danchee but I’m sure it’s similar

Yeah it can run a Lipo I just haven’t tried it yet but I will lol 🤘🏼
I have the older ECX, you can run a 2S Lipo.
Awesome!
The axles are it's weak point. I can't buy/find them anywhere. I did an aftermarket esc and receiver and the control is awesome.
Good to know, I’ll keep that in mind thanks 👍🏻
These are more like 1/12 scale.. almost bought one at horizon fest this year. They’re really really capable
Yeah it’s pretty big, I think 1/18 scale is a stretch
I just got one that's completely trashed but rebuilding it. Also I was 100th like
A rebuild project sounds fun, thanks for the like 👍🏻
