Scale Builder's Guild #coolkid Yeah, spun the tire. Actually jammed the truck up against a wall and un-spun it the other day. Haven’t pulled the tire from the rim though. Eagerly awaiting your video!
Thanks for watching! I don't think I ever took any rig to 4 different spots to test. I think it shows I really enjoyed this truck and what it's capable of.
First, those look like AWESOME places to crawl, that build course looks like a lot of fun!!!! Like most of RC4WDs offerings, that truck looks really good. But, most of their RTRs and kits are, for the most part, junk. Those of us who have suffered through a TF2 or two (in my case, three), know all to well about the endless upgrades required to get those trucks so that they preform to at least an RTR level. Given the price of these kits, and given the amount of money that has to be sunk into them, the whole mess is almost insulting; at the end of the day you have a $1000 rig that almost preforms as well as an $300 Axial RTR. So, as a result, those of us who have had RC4WD kits in the passed are very weary about this particular truck. It actually looks like they did a good job with it, but given other options on the market like the Element, why risk it?
I have to agree with you. It's a shame too as RC4WD were poised to become a top contender back in the day. Now? Eh. For $500 I just picked up the RedCat Gen8 Axe edition. Unbelievable rig for the price. As for the "build course" you have no idea! That was a small FRACTION of that place. It's RC Madness in Enfield CT. Probably one of the best crawler tracks in the country, no exaggeration. Easily 15,000-20,000 square feet of insane obstacles and variety. Very fortunate to have it local to us. I think they have a channel on YT if you search it up. I'm sure they have more footage of the course.
Wow man that is totally awesome I can’t wait to save up for that rig!! I attended the EastCoast rc4wd event this year it was awesome I live about 1/2 hour from there I run my rigs there since my kids love it there! Awesome video your always very informative and thorough when explaining!! Look forward to hopefully seeing you next year @ EastCoast RC4WD event!!
I love to look at that four door and also the size and the Tire setup I think it's just missing a regular truck bed and was cut to make like a dovetail or whatever they call it when it's cut and made narrower at the tailgate. I can't remember right off what it's called when it's done like that. But either way that's a very nice rig for straight out of the box. Throw some portals in a winch I don't believe there's anywhere that thing couldn't go
Thanks for the upload! Very entertained by the footage and the thorough explanation of the vehicle. Especially impressed by the fact that the C2X was not babied when driven through all sorts of terrain. As I've never had a hardbody, this intrigues me a great deal. Would refer the regular cab body, but then hiding the electronics would have been harder. Could see purchasing one, though those electronics would likely be swapped right away - but that's just because I have a preference for certain equipment there. Also, though the front bumper works well, it would need to be replace with something likely made of steel (help a bit with that front weight) and not covering the headlights as the included one does. With a little custom paint detailing, decals, my own choice of wheels and tires, and a rollbar for the bed (which I'm certain that RC4WD will release soon), could be one of my favorite rigs! A much appreciated video...
Team RRC2 Thanks. I’ve continued to drive it hard ever since. Putting about 15 minutes a day in on it driving over rocks in my yard while I wait for my kids to get off the bus. It’s been tough.
@@rcdriver Thanks for replying, I am researching this as my possible 2019 holiday R/C purchase. BTW - excellent and inexpensive bumper option here: store.rc4wd.com/Tough-Armor-Comp-Series-Flush-Mount-Bumper-for-TF2_p_6937.html - and photo here: www.rccrawler.com/forum/attachments/rc4wd-trail-finder-2/383660d1568729584-img_20190913_220120.jpg
It's a great looking rig. I can't say I wouldn't take one if RC4WD gave me one AND say good things about it. But here's my take , right or wrong...it's just what I see; the wagon wheels, shocks, tires, plastic axle and body don't sell very well. So they use them on a cobble together RTR. Here's why: 1. The wagons don't hold a bead very well and hard to put together. We all know this. 2. The Mickey Muds are a great tire but they collect dust on the shelves compared to the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's that seem to be out of stock alot. You never see the Muds on the trail. 3. I have those shocks and I don't use them. That's enough said on those. 4. The Plastic axles...tho , they steer much better than before they still have huge , outdated ring and pinion that hang down way too far. 5. The double cab Yota , sure , it looks good...but..nobody is building/buying it. They want a single cab...Marlin, kit or custom home-brewed....you just don't see the long wheelbase TF2...occasionally , yes. Typical rtr electronic's that'd I'd sell-off. But like I said....it's a great looking rig. Good review Greg. You made it look way less "jumpy" than I seen in other videos. Lots of varying Terrain which was cool.
The price is high, so I have a question. How does this model compare to the TRX-4 or VS-4? Maybe even with Axial 2? It costs the same (VS-4 a little more). And in my country they say that the RC4WD makes models unsuitable for the terrain. How about the strength of the parts?
I know this is a old video but I have a question is this truck worth getting i know the price is 499.99 I was wondering me and my 2 sons are going to.go to all Events this spring and summer this year and I would be the biggest upgrades would you do I will be going with brushless on all 3 trucks. So what else would you Recommend me to upgrade on them ... Thank you Kenny miller Aka devildog
Hi Great video love it! I have a question, have never tried to repair a cooked ESC I have a Hoddywing max8 its works for a short time and then stops you still have steering but no forward power! I have bought a new to replace it, but it seems a waste! cheers mate!
I assume the unfinished look at the rear is deliberate, so you can do to it what ever you want, but I do feel they should have supplied more to finish it if you can't do so yourself, apart from that I really like it.
I want a crawler I have a maxx and a ryft no I need a crawler and a trophy truck. Out of all the crawlers I've been looking at I love the c2x and really want one but they're out of stock everytime I check. If I can find one this will be what I get.
I’m gonna ask you guys the same thing I asked the guys over at SBG to see what you all think too I’m torn between this truck or the Marlin . Every truck I own is a Rc4wd ( I have a regular tf2 and the Desert Runner ) and I’ve always had nothing but good luck with them . I know they are two entirely different types of trucks , springs vs leafs etc etc . I don’t comp or anything like that mainly just trail stuff should I stick with the Marlin or give this one a shot ?
You can make your standard TF2 a Marlin with a few changes so for the money I would definitely get one of these. I have a TF2 lwb and a custom scx10 (short wheel base) and they're almost equal , they just have to be driven a little differently. If I could get a new ride right now,this would be it.
Very cool looking but that chassis is not very scale nor would it be aloud in any class under class 2 becouse the chassis isnt c channel rails. It looks like the panhard is at a bad angle to. At $500 I'll stick with my axial stuff my scx10.2 with all the upgrades was half that max That rc4wd crazy over priced! Imo Rc4wd is super cool looking but isn't worth there price for complete kits and rtr trucks. When none are really rtr. You always have to spend extra to shim there diffs even in a rtr or they blow out in 3 runs and they snap drive lines right away to you have to upgrade them first thing to. The plastic axles housing are cool should slide better and don't look like they will snap near as easy as a standard tf2 pot metal axle! 😂
Pop Wall The body is a hard ABS plastic. Like what static models use. This is a little heavier and can have more detail than a Lexan body which many other RC cars use.
As I said in other videos of this, I think they made a mistake with the hard body. Yes, it is very detailed but, in a comp setting it would really hurt you. I think a Lexan body for this rig would do it better justice for comp people.
RC4WD has been using the Mojave name for ages - it's their name for their Toyota-style body, which they have sold in single and double-cab versions as a kit or an RTR
Top speed......why do you question the top speed of this trail truck? Moreover why do I question your opinion about its top speed....Good Luck Brother.
HEY THAT'S ME! I see you also spun some tires on the bead. Ha! Nice video Greg, thanks for sharing!
Scale Builder's Guild #coolkid Yeah, spun the tire. Actually jammed the truck up against a wall and un-spun it the other day. Haven’t pulled the tire from the rim though. Eagerly awaiting your video!
RCDriver_Online I saw that you drove it through some water is it already waterproof out of the box or did you make it waterproof
Just finished watching, that rig is capable of more than I expected can’t wait to get my hands on one!! Awesome video 👍
Thanks for watching! I don't think I ever took any rig to 4 different spots to test. I think it shows I really enjoyed this truck and what it's capable of.
Just bingeing c2x, ordered one and cant wait! I wanted a new chassis, and havent tried rc4wd yet. And i like the style also!

Is it just me or are the side mirrors to far back?
Ah yes! Now, just need to convince my wife that I really need this!😂😂 Awesome rig and video! Have a great day my friend! 👍😎👍
Poppy's R/C and Models so true
Good review. Sure wish they'd offer this as a roller. All these things you will replace add $$$ to the rig.

That was awesome slomo shot taking it into the water @ 17:43. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah, that was a fun spot!
The receiver should be in a waterproof box even tho it appears to be waterproof just for the what if
Wowwww that’s a nice Rc crawler so pretty awesome great performance 😲👍😊
This is awesome. I'd really love a 4door body but cannot find one anywhere!!
Definitely convinced me for one of my next rigs. Kinda reminds me of my Element RC enduro which I absolute love. Keep up the great reviews.
Always an awesome video you do great work very informative take care and be safe
Great review. Those thin metal parts are for inner door trims.
Z0MB13 Ahh! Makes sense
Yeah I did it, it's a great looking rig . Appreciate you sharing I watch for more
Andy Richey Thanks for watching!!
Great looking truck
RC4WD comes out with a cage for the rear to add to that bed then I’ll be in! Good looking truck though! 👍👍
Joel Sanford That would be a nice option
Is there an available metal replacement for the front and rear axle kit?
Great rig, but so disappointing with plastic driveshafts if the Gelande 2 is anything to go by. Great review.
Do you know if the interior can be swapped over to the left hand drive interior from the other 4 door rtr?
Really enjoyed the video, thanks. Appreciate how thorough your review is and all the beautifully challenging terrain you tested on. Subscribed.
Smoking Wraith Thanks! Welcome to the channel!😎

You made it look way less "jumpy" than I seen in other videos. Lots of varying Terrain which was cool.
Do you know what brand links fit the c2x theirs a few sizes like 2 or 3.
Now I need one of these things 😂
is there a cover for the spur
How did you like the course at Madness? Dan put in a lot of back breaking hours on it...
Dan is awesome. He did a great job and it looks like he's got a lot more up his sleeve.
Scx 10 axle gears apparently are used in this to replace the ever so failing tf2 axles.
The price is high, so I have a question. How does this model compare to the TRX-4 or VS-4? Maybe even with Axial 2? It costs the same (VS-4 a little more). And in my country they say that the RC4WD makes models unsuitable for the terrain. How about the strength of the parts?
Nice video👍🏼is there any cast axle upgrade for this truck?
I know this is a old video but I have a question is this truck worth getting i know the price is 499.99 I was wondering me and my 2 sons are going to.go to all Events this spring and summer this year and I would be the biggest upgrades would you do I will be going with brushless on all 3 trucks.

Aka devildog
I think the metal strips are stainles steel trim fro the interior
what is the difference between hammer transfer case and normal rc4wd transfer case? just rate? i search the video but didnt find it
rc madness great hobby shop im about an hour from there.we should get together and crawl sometime,
Hi Great video love it! I have a question, have never tried to repair a cooked ESC I have a Hoddywing max8 its works for a short time and then stops you still have steering but no forward power! I have bought a new to replace it, but it seems a waste! cheers mate!
Love the truck but hate the big diffs
I assume the unfinished look at the rear is deliberate, so you can do to it what ever you want, but I do feel they should have supplied more to finish it if you can't do so yourself, apart from that I really like it.
how much oil did you add to each shock ??
Great video
Nice video man I think those Chrome strips are for the door Jam
They are for the inner door panels I heard.
Do you know if either the traxxas trx4 or the redcat gen 8 portal axles would work on the axial scx 10 ii?
We're working on a Redcat portal install on an SCX10 II video. Shhhh don't tell anyone lol
Cool, because I have a honcho and I want some more clearance.
Awsome truck, not a fan of open gears not having cover's. What happend's when you stick it in mud?
It will spit the mud out of the geara. But Rc4wd rigs and mud don't really mix. I'd stick with axial or maybe a Traxxas trx4 😄
Man i want your honest thoughts about this truck: is it an expensive axial trail honcho ? Love the video 👊
Should I get this or the tf2
Excellent review. Thorough from A to Z. Maybe Tamiya connectors are still ubiquitous in Asia?
I want a crawler I have a maxx and a ryft no I need a crawler and a trophy truck. Out of all the crawlers I've been looking at I love the c2x and really want one but they're out of stock everytime I check. If I can find one this will be what I get.

Swampers RC Thanks for the advice but I went with the Marlin , idk just something about a leaf sprung truck that seems to draw me in .
Metal strips look like body side mouldings.
I want one how much thou
Very nice rig but a bit pricey for me 🤪 great review Greg 👍🏼

Also they should make a kit version
If you max out castor... you can get more steer....
RC4WD has just released the Mojave n Arrma also released a Mojave, popular name lately LOL
Those metal strips r for the interior trim pieces
@@STEVOD313 But where on the interior?
@@rcdriver from what ive heard its for the dash, around the gauge clusters???? im not sure it just what I heard on other videos on the truck
@@rcdriver I think it was on RC Everyday's video
RC4WD has been using the Mojave name for ages - it's their name for their Toyota-style body, which they have sold in single and double-cab versions as a kit or an RTR
Top speed?
Top speed......why do you question the top speed of this trail truck?
Moreover why do I question your opinion about its top speed....Good Luck Brother.
For the price they should of been metal portal axles.
It is SCX10 with a beefier frame
I bought the Marlin edition. Between the breakage and the failing electronics I'm not impressed.
No hate at all love your vids, but u craw way to fast😀
Another good video, but a little 2 long perhaps next time try and keep it to 20 max...
tony mccarthy well you didn't have to watch all of it
Not impressed. I’d rather get the Bomber with Portals aka Capra.
I guess you didnt really look at the capra then, its no bomber. lol
I like Bomber with Portals because it draws out the Axial lovers. Thanks.
I think rc4wd is a little late to the game. 5 years ago and it might be a different story.
