  • On my way back from Newcastle, I thought I'd stop off at Hadrian's Wall and try out the Tracer's new suspension setup on the rocks.
    Apart from the Injora shocks that have been added and the Deep Woods tyres, the Tracer is still stock, so it's still a good idea of what it's capable of without spending a fortune on it or changing much around.
    I was really sceptical as to whether it would perform as I was really loath to lose the ground clearance. However, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised as it performed remarkably well and all of a sudden felt like it was trying it's best to be an LCG rig despite it's mammoth weight.
    I had a lot of fun filming this and definitely intend to go back for more drives/shoots in the future.
    I'm also going to be a comparing the Injora and Desert Lizard shocks to see how they match up.
    Thanks for watching!

    Very nice crawler & crawling!! I have the RGT 18100 Trample and its great, but the Tracer seems to be much better. (but it is also much more expensive 😉) Great video and location!

      Thanks for the nice words.
      It's a strange beast. I think it's really ugly and was initially a bit disappointed by the performance. However, it's really improving performance-wise and I'm going to change the body soon to make it a bit more interesting looking.
      The location is amazing, though. No doubt about that one!

    Good video but tbh for the money I`d get an Axial or element, much more after market support.

      The aftermarket support is an issue with rgt. They don't seem to be interested in lining parts up before launch. I reckon FTX will do a better job.

    Got to say aftermarket on this car is poor i broke a small piece on axle and trying to find spares is impossible I've email rgt and got nothing back for that one reason I would stay clear and spend your money else where which is a shame às its a good car

      I'd have to agree with you. RGT have been shocking with it.
      If FTX release a version then it will be a good option as they always get the support right.

    In your honest opinion is it worth the 550 price . Or does it need upgrades to make it capable to keep up with other rigs in that price range

      How would you think it fairs to the capra 4ws?

    • @rcpie
      @rcpie  Рік тому +1

      I didn't pay anything like that much for it and I wouldn't. There are a lot of things I'd rather spend that sort of money on.
      The biggest disappointment was the lack of overdrive. I'll be interested to see if FTX launch it and if it has overdrive on their version, if so.
      I think with a good set of shocks set up well, it'll perform.

    • @rcpie
      @rcpie  Рік тому +1

      I ran it alongside a friend's Capra a couple of months ago and they faired similarly. Each performed better on different rocks.

      @rcpie good to know , the cheapest I can find it in the US is 529. I like it but with me having the 4ws capra, I didn't know if it was worth buying to have a spare 4ws vehicle. Thank you for your honesty imput. I think I might look at the rgt challenger since it has 4wd,2wd, dig and a winch

      @@brandonupchurch5015 If you want an RGT, I'd go for the Challenger or the Rescuer depending on what you've already got.
      I'm tempted by a Challenger. It looks good.

      Yeah. The whole drive-train seems to be strong. I've not had any problems with it.

    • @rcpie

      I don't think these parts were shared with anything else. One problem with RGT is the availability of spares. However, it looks like FTX are going to launch their version of this car quite soon and they will have better supply.
