Portals and full body in cami paint! İm not a scale guy, but seeing as you said you wanted to show the intetear. Lost points in my head. Got a 6x6 coming fron Canada. Enjoy the truck bro!
As a great mod, I'd continue the rear cage over the cab then angled to front of bonnet then down to the front bumper and a brace across the windscreen. Great truck, nice video 😎👍
I know this vid is a few months old, so I have no idea what's been done to the truck since. That said, I immediately loved the open cab. Aside from the awesome look, it will allow extending the roll bar into the cabin for a full cage. This will likely address the flex between the body halves when picking up by the roll bar. Plus, full cage = additional scale realism opportunities.
I have a Umg10-2 and I like it I did add 2 speed trans and brushless power it can climb...portals that I would like to see there are plenty of options for adding portals from switch to TRX 4 axles ...even changing to SCX 10 axles and portal upgrades...can't wait to see what you come up with...great channel and content keep it up...
LOVE the Cabrio treatment!! 👌👍👍 The Interior should be seen if it's got a good one... I'm NOT one of the Cool Kids, so I'm getting one NOW. 😜 Never cared if I had the latest. Still baffles me that Axial didn't use the LCG Transmission more. After proper Shimming, it's a far better option than the old 3 Gear! Looking forward to joining the party - late!! 😉 Please stay SAFE! 😷 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
how did you paint the interior by hand and masking up or airbrush and masking up? as its came up real neat , great work on the chop top too, and was the cutting of the round lights for the new grill real hard or just get the template right and take it slow approach? great video love the vehicle as i just bought myself one as was on special $400 Aud so couldn't pass it up i have both the 406 and 425 Tamiya Unimog's both with Licensed bodies and locked diffs they are awesome (406) the other is still in its box(425),but and believe me that can crawl and trail for not being a crawler ive had it go over and drive on some pretty challenging drives and was quite surprised , thanks again for a great video bud. cheers from Australia.
Great video greg! The only thing I dont like about your channel is that u cant upload vids more frequently. I absolutely love your channel and ik that it is hard to upload often so keep up the good work. Truck looks amazing too and the terrain is awesome!
Awesome video man. Did you have a louder noise coming from your trans when you first build it? How did you fixed it? I am building mine and the trans is louder than I think it should be. Thanks
Find a forum on the scx10 2 transmission. I had to rebuild mine in my xj and used a shim, but can't remember where now. I think if one of the shafts is backwards it could grind the gears. Mine has been running smooth since the re build.
I purchased this kit recently and ordered the grille off Shapeways. What grille backing plate do I need that you referred to for the grille and LED lights? Chopped top is a great idea to reduce some of the top weight 👍
hi m8 i was thinking would it be possible to buy the sepparate parts for the body wich i found already, but the mail question is if the hinch in the back fits a trx4 chassis same for the front bumper mount. grtz from belgium
So, I am even later to the game. I have always wanted the UNI body. I have the SCX10III on order. Do you think with shorter rear links and rear shaft this body will fit?
Just tried to put the Unimog body on my III. Looks like the front will line up well and the front body mounts “look” like a direct fit. The rear will need to be shortened up by adjusting the chassis and using the optional shorter links.
I sorta regret returning my UMG10 kit(didn’t think I would ever get around to building it), however, now that I finally got my former RTR 10.2 Deadbolt chassis adjusted for my Dingo body, I might just buy a UMG10 body kit, since the wheelbase will already be set. Also, I think I’ll prefer having the AX10 transmission. 👍🏼 Disregard that... I just looked at how the UMG10 body is being sold in separate parts, adding up to over $100! They really want you to pony up and buy the whole kit. I’ll let that boat sail on, I guess.
Could you please tell me where to get the front grill from as im having difficult time trying to locate the same one that you have used there is a cchand one on ebay but its ugly so any help would be appreciated , cheers :-)
How much can one expect to spend having to purchase the non-included components to make this kit ready to run? New to the rc hobby and only ever seen rtr until recently.
You can be up and running for around 400-450 bucks really easily. If you already have some battery packs and a charger that's a realistic price range to have a solid setup. I went hobbywing 1080 esc and a Holmes's hobbies trailmaster 540 can motor. For a little over 60 bucks its a stellar little esc/motor combo. Thats the combo i threw into my umg10.
You can get a basic Spektrum transmitter for about $50 the receiver is about $15 . The hobbywing 1080 is an awesome speed control for $40-45 bucks and a Tekin heavy duty 35 turn motor is about the same range. A Spektrum servo runs about $35. I have a 4 channel Spektrum radio and receiver in two of my trucks but run the 1080 ESC and the 35T Tekin motor. I also went the cheaper route and run nickle metal batteries instead of LiPos. I get plenty of run time with Venom 3000 miliamp batteries, I found a pair of them for $50 on Amazon. Chargers run a wide range from $30 up over $200.
Love the video, honest as always. I’ve finally taken the plunge and ordered one from #wheelspinmodels uk. Mogs need portals so I got some coming as well.
I see it on pre-order on Amain shipping September 25 for $450. I will wait to see if they do a 6x6 builders kit, add-on to the regular raw builders kit or an UMG 6x6 Kit. I’m not a big fan of RTRs.
Portals and lights for sure, Great video.
Great video and amazing build. Refreshing to see a cabrio style UMG10. Looked like a very capable rig on the trail.
Ready Set RC Thanks! Little worried about how it was going to look and adding the roof back on... not easy lol
Good review!
It needs portals as the Unimog has it
You did a really good job on this. Thanks for another great video.

I like the white and the wood look.
Looks beautiful the Unimog
Really cool build!👍. Love axial kits. Very well thought out!
every time i look at this i like it more and more. i looked at earlier in my hobby shop. i wish axial made more vehicle kits but oh well

thank you for likeng my comment
Very cool rig!
If u know me n my channel u already know I love building kits, I might have to get this one its looking like a lot of fun!
STEVO D 313 This is right up your alley!
A cabriolet is a very, very nice version of this Unimog!!!
You help me make up my mind just ordered one 👍👍👍
Dean Mez Have fun with the build!

Cool truck and great review

Very, very nice rig!👏🏼 good job on the trailing too, awesome video again Greg 👍🏼👍🏼

can i buy the body without the chassi?
excellent vid

Yellow Creek Crawler Rc I’m probably going to see if I can put a Robinson Racing spur on it

LOLz. "I really want you guys to see the inside of the interior here" .... ;)
How hard is this to convert over to a 4 link in the front. I have a hatred of the 3 link and panhard bar.
Personally, I like the deadbolt better but the way Greg reviews these just makes that’s all look so sick
Aaron Cook Love the Deadbolt, simple rig and it works so well.
Hey Greg do you know what light kit to buy for the unimog?
very boss build.
Will a 550 size motor fit?
I purchased this kit recently and ordered the grille off Shapeways. What grille backing plate do I need that you referred to for the grille and LED lights?
Chopped top is a great idea to reduce some of the top weight 👍
I've got mine in the building stage and I'd like to see which portals you go with.
hi m8 i was thinking would it be possible to buy the sepparate parts for the body wich i found already, but the mail question is if the hinch in the back fits a trx4 chassis same for the front bumper mount. grtz from belgium
who makes that gun metal grey mustang on your wall there? Looks like a shelby
Tamiya I believe
5dmc1 Tamiya makes it. We have the review on our channel

people see this as a Unimog but i kinda see it as an ultra4 style rig because of the back cage
xd gangster69 I can see that
Where did you order the Bumper ?
Sammy Gonzalez The bumper comes with the kit. You mean the grill? You can get it on the Knight Customs website.
Can this Rc truck take a different body?
Yes, the cool thing about scale truck chassis’ is that you can modify them to fit other bodies and accessories.
Could you please tell me where to get the front grill from as im having difficult time trying to locate the same one that you have used there is a cchand one on ebay but its ugly so any help would be appreciated , cheers :-)

@@BlueDually4x4 thanks, I'll check some of that out!
It must have portals!! Mine is getting some!! Why Axial??
I understand why axial didn't put portals on it but it being a unamog, it should absolutely have portals. Go for it.
Love it
Do a review on the horizon hobby sprint jet pro boat 9in
Wauuu nice
Drag slash
Why is the front bumper sitting sideways
Jeremy Burris One shock collar wasn’t set properly so the whole side was sagging.
Does anyone have one new, even though they are discontinued?
So is Trump driving or just a supporter? Seriously though, great vid. Shame Axial quit making some kits.
Nobody No One It was either a red hat and blue pants or blue hat with red pants. Went with the blue jeans look.
@@rcdriver Came out great.
I thought the same!!! Literally looks like the Donald LOL
I guess I'm late to the game lol, been wanting one for a while. I have time now so going to get the Unimog and build during this long winter season.
👍💪🏼💪🏼🏆💰
Love the video, honest as always. I’ve finally taken the plunge and ordered one from #wheelspinmodels uk. Mogs need portals so I got some coming as well.
Sounds like it going to be a fun project! Enjoy!
Nice video
Why not review the UMG 6x6?
Cause no one has it yet
Axial says it's still 'pending' not that I can afford one ☹️
I see it on pre-order on Amain shipping September 25 for $450. I will wait to see if they do a 6x6 builders kit, add-on to the regular raw builders kit or an UMG 6x6 Kit. I’m not a big fan of RTRs.

I need
Axial is getting long in the tooth with there R&D...changing body styles will only get you so far. A Large scale solid axle would spice things up....
Hammer Home I would like to see something like that as well
i was the first comment

meh.
