Corrections:
1. At 3:39 the light off on Ch.2 means we're in 2nd gear. I didn't notice for a few moments after that - which speaks to the torque available in this motor even in 2nd gear on 2S power!
2. At 4:16 I said 17-turn 550. The RGT Rescuer has a 20-turn 550 motor.
Thanks for bearing with me!

I’m not sure why, but no matter what RC it is, your videos are some of the most entertaining and fun to watch on UA-cam. And awesome trucks too.
Keep it up 👍
Aw thanks :)
It's a very nice looking trail truck that looks like it can handle a bit of crawling. I've been eyeing this online waiting for a decent review, so thank you sir!
Excellent, glad you enjoyed it! I want to do a more trails oriented video with it soon to show it working on the trails some more. Looking forward to that. Cheers
@@RCTNT Excellent! I'm looking forward to that too!
@@WestyCoastHermit lol I'm looking forward to making it :)
So far this channel is one of the best RC crawler reviewer , Your review really clear and good, I like it that you highlight the problem of each crawler, Thank's a lot
Hey thanks for saying so. I just want to be useful, so comments like this are gold. Crawl on! 😎
Just revisiting this video, I dont know mate but I pulled the trigger getting the RCs you reviewed. I got the MST DC1, the Sendero HD, and the latest, this RGT Rescuer, your reviews and tests are spot on. Thank you for what you do!
Ah sweet, so glad you've found this stuff useful! I've learned a lot presenting them and it's fun to hear back from you guys when it's helpful. Happy driving!
Mud flaps are a nice touch. I like the look of this one. As you said though, more of a trail truck but that's ok.
Yeah, it is ok :) Sweet little machine, eh.
Nice vid mate, thanks..
I'd love to see what you'd make of the Absima Sherpa/Khamba (Yikong/Rebelcon) they came out about 18 months ago & are exactly like these..
I've had one for around a year now & I'm pretty darned pleased with it.
They go for about the same price as these sometimes.
Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland.
It does look pretty similar on paper, yeah! The hinged body and trick steering setup is interesting. I can see why you like it :)
Awesome video and great review 👌thanks for sharing, you are doing great tests there 👏love this trail truck, it is great for light off road adventures.
No worries, glad you're enjoying them! This is a decent rig, for sure. It'll handle all day drives, I reckon.
Thanks for the review, not a bad trail truck, probably go better with better tires but good looking truck all the same
Thanks, I like it very much!
I LOVE the review you have done on this rgt rescuer , i have been waiting for this truck to come in from bang____ ! This is a fair review considering this is not a true crawler and and i noticed alot of compassion you had for it I own 4 other RGT trucks including a rgt ex86010 cj and i was wondering if you could do a review of that truck ! thanks for your time Aaron K.
Thanks a lot, Aaron! You're going to love it! (in my follow up video to this where we did the rock test, I very much didn't hold back. It's not too bad on the rocks, honestly. Go check that video out to see).
The EX86010 CJ is a shortened version of the Pioneer, right? That would have better breakover angle but struggle a bit more on the steep stuff, I'd expect. I probably won't be reviewing it, but I may shorten the Pioneer at some point and could do a comparison then. Great platform, in short and long wheelbase! Cheers
@@RCTNTbravo pour video ,dommage en France on a pas toute ces vidéos et avis sur ces camions et surtout que nous en France a part axial,traxxas ou les grande marques on s intéressé moins au autre tout en sachant que l on a de très belles surprises et pour des budgets plus raisonnable et qui peuvent concurrencé toute ces grandes marques
Merci a vous de France
Merci beaucoup, je suis heureux que cela ait été utile 🙏😊
Hey mate , just stumbled across your channel ... Its awesome !!! After a few years of owning this RGT would you recommend it .. i have an Axial scx10 iii and just got the F150 Trx High trail ... Cheers mate
Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying my stuff. Well yes, I like and use my RGT Rescuer. I'd put it at about the same level as the FMS FCX10 K5 Blazer. Similarly capable and great looks and build quality. I'd say buy whichever of those you like the look of better, you'll be happy. If you're considering these, also check out the Cross RC EMO AT4. I've got multiple videos on all of these cars. Cheers
@@RCTNT thanks will check them out
I run 3 cell. never once had overheating problems. alot of it has to do with esc and motor .
Esc, motor, gearing and vehicle mass. I'd think they're the main considerations, yeah. Running 3S on this should be fine unless you're tooling around in tough terrain in second gear. Great rig isn't it!
Sorry, bro🤔🤔 but in this vid I noticed you put it 2nd gear which is fast gear, as in manual it says when light is on its in 2nd gear, when light is off it,s in 1st gear which is slow gear, I have tested this, so maybe it was in fast gear when doing problems, 🤔,,am watching vid again to understand what kind of rock terrain she can handle, 😁😉👍👌👌
The shocks have FUNCTIONING piggyback reservoirs. Never saw that in an RTR
It's not exactly necessary is it! My first reaction to your comment was that I must surely be mistaken, as I don't recall that detail. But I just went and looked and yes, that appears to be the case. (My memory is pretty terrible). I've been wowed all over again! I'm pretty sure even my SBR 2.0 doesn't have that feature!
@@RCTNT I initially thought yeah must be fake, but no. They're 2 stage shocks too, with a short stiff spring at the top and a longer softer spring at the bottom. I like them
It's not like they need to stand up to huge stress, anyway. Good on them for trying stuff like this. Rgt have been innovating a bunch recently and I'm all for it!
@@RCTNT I know, they're not exactly useful. I've always said you can judge the overall quality of a rig by the shocks
What about using all your tires on crawling course or have you done that yet? see which tire is best for crawling. I really love the pooling trailer different tire video. I noticed those predator BF g's are almost sold out everywhere now. I was about to buy 2 sets and I procrastinated now there's only one set left lol
I've got a tire test series playlist and we do use the course (not the 6 problems) for comparison, in both wet and dry. I could do the 6 problems with a rig that can actually do all 6, but I thought using the course with points and time would give better quality data. Either way, different rubber makes a difference, for sure.
Thanks for thinking about this stuff and for the comment :)
Hi i just have one small question since im pritty new to rc crawling. What size 2s lipo do you recommend to get the longest run time without adding too much weight and with overheating with time
The first 10 pre-orders shipped with the 6200mAh 2S 30C battery I used in this video. It held the truck back on these problems a bit, so if you keep it to 4000mAh or less it'd be less noticeable. The good news with 2S is that it lasts longer than 3S batteries (if all else is equal). Heat won't be a problem for damage, so put in whatever you like.
For reference, this 6200mAh battery will deliver 1.5 to 2.5 hours runtime, depending on how it was driven (higher motor load and/or motor speeds draws more current). So even a 3000mAh battery will be very good for runtime and it'd not noticeably hinder this already heavy vehicle.
@@RCTNT thats very useful thanks a mill👍
Great video man love the obstacles what would you say is better the emo or the rescuer?
Thank you!
Those two are similar, yes. I think the EMO is more capable and will be more durable. However, the Rescuer is a brilliantly equipped vehicle for an RTR and its electronics make it a bargain.
If I could only buy one and I had the money, it'd be the EMO AT4. But if I could only afford the Rescuer, it wouldn't feel like a loss - they're both great rigs.
@@RCTNTthanks :)
Rgt desert fox/ftx outback geo, have you reviewed one yet?🤔😁👍 Rescuer is ftx tracker in uk, it costs £415 or less depending on where you buy it from 😁👍
I haven't and probably won't test this one, but it looks like an improved version of the EX86110 Pioneer. Straight axles, locked full time - similar to trx4 sport. It'll be a solid performer I'd expect!
@RC-TNT ah that's a shame, reckons you would off done awesome review on it, would have been good to see if, it could handle your six tests 🤔😁👍
Being an updated version of the Pioneer, I bet this would be a 6-Problem Approved machine :)
@RC-TNT rgt pioneer must be the ftx hi rock over ,😁 but not sure, is pioneer pick up truck ?
Sounds right, yes. And yep it's a pickup. I've done 4 or videos on it, it's very capable. Rgt says the Desert Fox is an updated version of the Pioneer with some select improvements.
Would you say this one is still a good buy for a first time rc ? Its considerable cheaper (like 33% cheaper than any other good one, even the enduro SE) where i live and i like them looking closer to vehicles and not rock crawlers.
Yes, easily. It's a great rig.
@@RCTNT think you could test it against the newest budget rcs too?
It isn't in the same league as those. If you're after a crawler, the deadbolt and the enduro se will both out-perform the RGT Rescuer. But that's just in pure technical driving. All three of them have done my 6 problem course, so you can watch to see how they went.
But for an all rounder, the Rescuer is brilliant.
It really depends on what you want from a crawler.
@@RCTNT a all-rounder. Some crawling is nice, but i want to take it on trailing and stuff like that while being able to do some crawling on parks an stuff like that. Thanks
thanks for information ..
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
Given its a trail truck could a trailer be attached and is there a kit that would match up nicely with it for the 70s style and correct ride height? Perhaps a yeah racing huty duty YA-0640?
For sure you can tow with it and many trailers will fit, but lighter weight is better for this kind of crawler.
To get the height to your liking you can usually change the height of the draw bar's connecting arm just before the hitch.
I bend my own from mild steel then thread it to suit whatever the vehicle and trailer combo is. A cheap m3 die and vice are handy to have for this purpose.
Good run at the problems! Watching it struggle for traction on problem 1 had me a little worried but it did well! The tires are reminiscent of JConcept Tusks, but I guess the tire compound isn't the same :). If we use your affiliate link and buy other stuff there, do you get credit for those or is it limited to that product? They carry some cool looking hardbodies and other things. Is the where to buy stuff asiatees link a generic one? I don't need anything at this very moment but I enjoy the build and I'm tempted to try a new project or paint another body
Atees has a bunch of cool stuff, I've been buying from them for years. I agree, the hard bodies are tempting.

Apologies bro🙏, yes you did turn light off, 😉👍
Had the same thought myself during the edit but worked it out too. It wouldn't have gotten very far in 2nd!
@@RCTNT 2nd is quite fast for brushed motor, reckons it could keep up with trx4 😅😁😉👍
@bernardrc1137 top speed is similar, yep
bom dia, pode me dizer como voce colocou luz no carrinho? tem algum video ou site?
Website is rc-tnt.com
The lights came with the car. I added the light bars, which was only a few screws and a connection to a spare port on body, which came with the car. It was very easy. RGT have designed this well.
eu queria saber onde voce comprou o kit luz porque nao tenho essas lampadas.@@RCTNT
I see. That's strange, this model should come with them. Still, you can fit any light kit to it. But try searching for 'rgt Rescuer light kit' and see what you find. Otherwise, most generic kits should be okay.
Just got one, nice car but sliders killing clearance
Part of the fun with more scale vehicles, I think. But you could always look into modifying it so the slides sit higher somehow. Haven't looked at that myself but I'd expect it's possible. Hope you're enjoying it otherwise - still one of my favourite RTR trail/crawlers!
Have you got any trails around your area? I'd watch that :)
Plenty! Here's the Rescuer on one :)
ua-cam.com/video/dxAydplTlbQ/v-deo.html
Yep, I'm finally getting one after a year, cheaper now, too, £350 including free delivery,yeah, rite mate, 🤔 lol,,,,.She is arriving on Thursday, & I can't wait, my early Xmas present to myself 😜😁😉 ,,never had traily crawlerish truck with unlocking/ locking diffs before ,lol
Oh nice! That's fairly reasonable money actually. Much cheaper than than the Big T equivalent! I hope you get many enjoyable hours from it 😊
@RCTNT well my rgt desert fox/ ftx outback geo, cost me £315, crazy hey, but getting rescuer for £350, lol , rgt desert fox has only front lights hazards, indicators, anti body shift shafts, hmmm lol 😅
@bernardrc1137 in any case I think the value is really there for the latest purchase. It's a great machine.
Are the axles made of metal?
Housings are plastic (which is better, honestly it is) but the axles are metal, yes.
Looks like it moves like the Defender does, would be interesting to see it goes against a Defender…….
It really does. Similar body roll, definitely. Defender be slightly more capable I think, but not by much - this thing is incredible for its lower price! They're both great rigs.
Whats better, dig or lockers?
Lockers. That's an easy one!
@@RCTNT thanks mate
No worries.
But hang on, did you mean to compare the option of a DIG to being able to *unlock* the diffs remotely? Because that's different - a DIG is more useful, I'd argue.
I originally read your post as whether being able to lock unlocked diffs (ie. having 'lockers') was better - which it is! Open diffs are a real challenge, so lock them first. Then, if you can engage a DIG as needed, so much the better!
Hope that clears it up!
Yeah that's what I wanted to know, if dig or lockers have better functionality
Instant answer is dig, assuming axles are already locked.
I would say this is more of a trail truck, not everything has to climb a vertical wall. beautiful trail truck.
It absolutely is a trail truck, and a lovely one at that :)
Me doing these crawl challenges doesn't mean I want it to do all 6. It's so we can get an idea of how well it crawls on the tougher stuff - helpful to know if you're considering getting one!
Thanks for watching this one :)
Super 👍🍻🚧💪💯🚧🤠
rock too extreme for that bumper. so not real
Agreed. Still, I use these problems because now we can see how it goes on rocks compared to all the others on my channel which have done the same 6 problems. I'm not trying to get it to win everything - I want it to do what it can do so we all can see what it's like on the difficult stuff. Helpful if you're considering one :)
Thanks for watching!
Everything is good but for the love of God stop calling the courses you’ve laid out ‘problems’!
It works for me. Easier to say than "obstacle". It's a problem to solve - I have a bouldering and rock climbing background and we called the various challenges there "problems". I know RC is more like motorsport but it's what I knew, so I stuck with it.
I am interested though, you're the second person to mention this. What would you call them? Obstacles? You said courses but problem 2 is literally two rocks. Hardly a course... What do you think?
Isnt this the ftx outback ?
I don't have easy access to FTX here, but I understand there's some badge crossover between RGT, HSP & FTX. I just went to their site and found FTX have 30 crawlers in the FTX Outlook range. This is one of them, the FTX Outback Tracker.
ftx-rc.com/rc-kits/rock-crawlers?limit=100
It'll be the same as the RGT Rescuer here, yes.
@@RCTNT thank you !
Was pleasantly surprised of how this performed vs a KnightRunner or the MST Discovery! Definitely a great package overall for trailing and a bit of scale-rock crawling. A great all-rounder, once you spend some time maybe making an interior for it.
I was surprised too! I thought it would do problems 1 and 5. I still reckon it could do 4 but it'd be rough on it. For an all-rounder, though - especially with that second gear - yeah, beaut truck that gives those others a run for the money!
@@RCTNT I was thinking... I believe having portals, and an overall heavy rig are a huge advantage in your rock problems.
See how this, the Cross RC Emo and the TRX4, and to a degree, Axial's Gladiator, all do really well?
Only Element's Sendero HD overall lightness can overcome these obstacles with equal results.
Gmade's GS02F being straight-axled too, but a jack of all trades with O/D, 2-speed (more weight), a bit in the middle of both, maybe?
@@YoShImUrA53 clearance and center of gravity are usually a compromise in opposition.
The GS02F is nearly as good a performer as the Capra, from memory (I may have to test them again together to see).
On my peaky problems, portals are an advantage.
On other technical crawling where clearance isn't as big a factor, perhaps the straight axle rigs will do better.
Good thing to think about. Definitely worth exploring. Thanks!
@@RCTNT Absolutely on the compromise in opposition! but there is the interesting part on how both are being helping the rigs that have both. A bit like how a heavy "sportscar" like the R35 Nissan GT-R usses its mass to go faster in the corners.
I wonder what would happen if you put portals on the Sendero HD, or straight axles on a TRX4, how it would affect their performance, for better, or worse...
@@YoShImUrA53 the yang to this yin of swapping straight for portal or vice versa is the intended terrain. I could make a convincing case for portals on my course and a convincing case for swapping to straight on my local river rock area, I think.
I guess that's the same kind of thing as motor racing teams tuning for a specific race track, to some extent.
For an all round approach, it's probably personal preference for they most part. Interesting to think about!
Hi,from ur video so u suggest to use 2s battery rather than using 3s?did 3s battery give more heat?
G'day, yep that's right, 3S battery will stress the components much more - the motor will take it, but the ESC will get very hot and the gears and shafts will also be under more stress.
To be clear, you *could* run this on 3S, but 2S is completely ample. And this is coming from the guy who runs most things on 3S and some on 4S. The Rescuer is pretty much perfect on 2S - and of course, 2S will give you 50% longer runtime with the same rated capacity battery as 3S. It's all upside for 2S, basically! Cheers
@@RCTNT great explanation,Thanks for the information✌️
все что понял из этого видео,что у автора 6 проблем с головой(а может и больше)
охуенная машина же,че ты придираешься
Weird insult but fair enough. Probably more than six, honestly!
