The aftermarket parts are slowly increasing for these, I did notice they have extended drive shaft kits with brass as well. I believe that with some softer tires, trimming, and extensions, this could turn out to be sweet.
Edit, sorry, I was getting confused about what the slop was and where, but I do know they came out with metal gearing and have 3 options ? Hopefully the teeth are alittle tighter as well
First honest review that I've seen on this one.. most are too busy kissing furi a$$. Seems like a good rig overall, should be mostly fine with some modding, but yeah that drivetrain play is pretty bad. Your course is exceptional! The zipline is very cool! Commentary was hilarious. Thank you
Right on thank you. You are correct most guys don’t want to jeopardize there free truck gravytrain. Even most small channels dont want to jeopardize the chance that they will get free stuff in the future.
The hooby plus CR18 evo pro (brushless) is definitely the better buy. Performance is way better and has 2 speed transmission which on first appearance seems gimmicky but actually is functional and gets you over some obstacles that you couldn’t without it. You use the blue tooth furitek app not the dip switches for settings. Foams are crap but swapped out for some brass wheels and smaller tires. The drive shaft breaks really easy but the SCX24 C10 is a perfect fit. Nice review
The bad steering angle is a trade off for the wider wheelbase that in turn gives you better side hill and overall stability. I put a set of injora brass 1” plus with swamp stompers on mine. Horses for course’s. Look forward to your vid. Subscribed.
My channel is named after the first two pugs i had oliver and oscar. When they died i created the channel in there memory. There pictures are on the wall on each side of the obrothers sign in the beginning and end of my videos. I bet yours are awesome. They all seem to be. Thanks for checking out the video
My 1/18 Wrangler is the Injora body on Injora LCG chassis with easy and nice clips (TRX4M). Swamp Claws on 1.3 wheels. It's brushed with the 180 and low gears and the MB100. That thing you got there has me on wheel speed and nothing else. I built the same with the FJ40 body and got Furitek brushless motor/trx4m trans and python pro electronics because of the space limit with it having an interior and flatbed. After that was built I took out the Furitek system and ordered the Injora brushed system, made it fit and upgraded. I know there are a lot of builds just like those out there. I'm still a big fan of Furitek because of the programmability though. I don't know why it was so noisy and sloppy with the Injora diamond axles but those brushed Injora components tightened and quieted it up are just better in my opinion.
It’s the same chassis we’ve seen on multiple RTR’s now just with different bodies on it but regardless of the flaws I think about the performance of a stock TRXM or SCX24 & compared to this one they are terrible & it seems like not even that long ago the first generation of mini Crawlers came out & man compared to those we are spoiled now.
Great video I just got my katana 2 weeks ago it's been great but the tire rub I really don't wanna trim any other ideas ...I also used same tires but installed bras wheels added a lot of weight for now not sure if I can get links and that yet not seeing any out there do you know of any yet..... Great video once again
There really isn’t much of a aftermarket for these things. that’s why i was hoping it would be good out of the box. I will be doing a upgrade video once I’ve had it for a bit. I need to figure out what is going to work to make it better. Thanks for checking it out.
The frame, links, driveline, axels, shocks are just the same as the ones from the hobby plus evo pro. So you can upgrade parts just now from some chinese shops. Great, you are the only one, who mentioned, that the body is old. Here in Switzerland the truck with this body is named Kratos from Absima Rc. I got this truck years ago for 80$, now with all the parts I have for the evo pro, I will built my own one. Will see, if it's able to get the driveline tighter.
Underneath looks sweet the chassis and axles look Awsome. I mean loose the body, put angle of shock to steepest angle mess with the link placement…and even just chop the crap out of body and loose the sliders…idk that hood piece blows…doesn’t even look good on the hood. Weird plat issue! Awsome review….
Nice vid. I was gonna buy a Katana, until I realized it come with bushings. WTF!! The slop in the driveline is terrible. Glad I watched your vid on this. You saved me $200!
Great video, but for 200$ you are just buying the name, better options out there, seems some of these so called RC companies let the UA-camrs review go straight to the pricing! Furitek makes great stuff but it’s overpriced like traxxas! Happy RCing my friend
I've always thought this about Furitek. Very, very overpriced. Unfortunately, most of the youtubers in this genre get sent free stuff, so it's very hard to find an honest review. This video is spot on, though, which is very refreshing
Love the course man. Great job on the review as well.
Awesome! Thank you, And thanks for checking it out.

Thank you and thanks for checking it out
Thank you saved me time and money,like your honesty,love the videos and comments and comedy, keep up the amazing work
Awesome, glad it helped. Thank you for checking out the video
Great review as always man! I have that motor with the Meus 2-speed in my TRX4m K10. Love that little motor!

Thank you and thanks for the tips. My Brushed evo pro review is dropping tonight. It is also way better and cheaper than the furitek

I think the trx4m has the best clip system out there and brushless is complicated and overpriced. Thanks for checking out the video
Good review
Thank you and thanks for checking it out.🤙
Excellent video. You are undersubscribed.
Thank you, and thanks for saying so.
Best outros in the business 😂
Awesome, glad to got a kick out of it. More to come. Thanks for checking out the video

Great video and review. Glad I got the redcat. And wow your course is epic!!!!!!
Same here! 👍
Thank you, Redcat all day for me. Video proof on how it’s more capable coming soon.
@@obrothersrc Took mine out yesterday to red rocks and it was a blast. Highly recommend trying smaller tires and rubberbands just for 💩's and giggles.
I see you have some Watehogs! I have one too!
Nice, i love them as crawlers. The body is perfect for it. Thanks for checking out the video
LOL, that’s why I don’t get free trucks. Long pause for effect. Truth, but hilarious.

@obrothersrc awesome I will keep an eye out. Looking forward for that video to come out keep crawlin my RC Brotha

@@user-rh1zg6bc1n awesome perfect I'm gonna start ordering links and servo links .thanks

fenders def Gotta go. Maybe whole new body. Plenty of mods coming. Thanks for checking out the video

Def not enough for 200. Buy a Redcat drop 100 in it and it will destroy this thing. Stock Comparison vid coming soon
Just got the ascent18 last week. About to start with some minor upgrades, like brass beadlocks and some good tires.
@ 10:33 LMAO 🤣
🐕 🐶 ZZzzzz
Pugs, they are either doing a hundred or snoring.

I agree 100 percent. U can by a hobbywing fusion 1/10 motor for way less than a furitek 1/24 setup. Why?
