Yeah, man, great rocks and an awesome machine to explore them with! Very cool video, I love the moody vintage 70'ies look and the tune fits it nicely, too! Very enjoyable to watch!
Looks great. If you can ever share footage of trucks at normal speed (video not slowed down), please do. It seems that the best trucks are noticeably better at normal-speed viewing, while almost everything looks good when the video is replayed very slowly. Thanks!
Thanks! I get what you're saying about the regular speed film, but to be honest that's not really what I enjoy - I'm not reviewing anything here, I just like making trucks look as real as I can. I think Tomley's done a review, and he'll have regular footage of it in action (and a trustworthy opinion on it too). He's definitely worth checking out.
If you like the portals, gearbox and shifting diffs of the longer one you might not like the simple chassis here, but personally I really dig it. This one's simple, effective and more scale. And cheaper! I'd definitely recommend it, it's a fun and capable drive.
@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 to be honest I had the long wheelbase one and never had it long and sold it, had problems with the gears and changing gear and stuff so got rid of it. I'm in South Wales over the weekend and might bring a truck or two with me.
I loved watching this video. I like the colour balance - the lichen looks terrific in that light, and the truck look superb. One tiny detail niggled at me throughout, however. It was a nemory of my being offered an Isuzu Trooper with no real rust and the rear roof cut away...for £500. And I said "no". I think it had a petrol engine, and I didn't fancy paying the fuel bills. Still, I could scratch the itch by buying an FMX and taking my Dremel to the body!
The suspension has some very scale movement! Do you run thinner shock oil and/or add weight to the chassis to get that realistic look? Beautiful scenery!
On the trucks I build I do - I've found that lots of chassis weight, just the right spring rate and not much damping works the best (the weight provides natural rebound damping that looks right). But this truck is just stock out of the box. They seem to have got the springs and oil spot on.
@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 Totally agree. Most kits and RTR's seem to be underweight, oversprung and overdampened. Yes, it is good for crawling performance but it does not look right at all.
Wow! Fantastic motion and location. Awesome!!
Thank you, as always it's extremely flattering that you think so!
Beautiful run video! It does perform well by the looks of it!
I really enjoy driving it, to be honest. It's really fun little thing.
Another awesome realistic video well done

A really nice run 👌👌💪💪
Thanks!
Looks amazing buddy
Thank you!
Great video & crawling on the rocks, Was hoping they would bring out a short wheel base version. I might be tempted.

Sorry, FTX.
Oh man, the ones that got away... bummer. But yes: prepare the dremel!
Excellent. Settled after your move and now have more time for trucks?
Thanks! Yes, settled in now thanks, though still got lots to do on the house... you know how it goes!

Can anyone tell me if the axles on this can be fitted with diff locks? I want to change the axles on my tracker from portal to straight
🙂🤟✌️💪👍👌👏😎🇹🇭
