As far as I'm concerned, you are the authority when it comes to all things RC crawler. Great presentation and your videos really demystify some of these technical terms for beginners.
Thanks dude. Basher who just got into crawling. Thanks for the help with all the Capra vids 😎
Short and concise video. Thank you!
Thank you for making a great, and simple explanation on how to use DIG.
Will definitely watch cause we all support the channel
I have my dig on a 3 way switch. 4wd, freewheeling, and locked. Great video man
This is really good info. Thank you!
You're so welcome! Wish more of these existed so I can learn quickly as well.
Clear and appreciable as usual !
Personally I think that for no-race crawling it's more funny to use that channel/servo/gearbox feature to have a 2 speed transmission (that helps in much more situation and gives a more realistic driving).
Wow that was really useful, thanks a lot,😀😀😀
Awesome vid
Salamat kuya!!!
great vid man, i was on the fence for a dig,,,,,now i want one,,,,haha
Go for it!
Thank you,well explained 👍☕️☕️✌️
Awesome content.
Glad you enjoyed it
Basically what I do with my cars E-Brake in the winter, lol.
It's fun to yank on the e-brake, punch the gas, and slide your front end around to do what would otherwise be a multipoint turn.
It's not that at all guy. Smh
If they would have remote locking diffs like the trx4 id buy one for sure.
Very cool for maneuvering! For that last scenario with the super steep climb, Dig doesn't seem effective at all. I understand you're using it to prevent tipover but you're also not making any headway. Seems like overdriven front axle would have been better. Or how about overdriven front and ~25% drag on the rear axle?? Not sure how that would be set up but that seems ideal for most situations like that.
Love your channel btw 👍
very good explanation... question at 5:54 minutes what is that nice brown body pickup?
I really enjoy your videos. Just out of curiosity what are your top ten best performing crawlers in the past 5 years with mods? I’d love to hear your thoughts 👍🏼🤔
I would Love to see you test some cheap crawler Cars(fastte...banggo...) . (And of Course more Videos about the Trx4 Sport.
Very good explanation sir. It would be great if you can help me how to handbrake(rear wheel lock) my DBX-07 with radiolink rc6gs. Please!
Hello Francis, could you try a 3 settings dig set up on the capra transmission: 1. 4wd, 2. fwd. Locked rear, 3. fwd. freewheel rear.
What’s a good replacement dig servo for the gladiator? I know reefs but looking for something less expensive but better than stock. Also I believe the stock has 20t so what are you doing to make it work for you since some of the dig servos have different count
Nice explanation. At 2:54 your truck is making a lot of noise but no wheels are turning. How can the motor be moving without the wheels - is it slipping a slipper or something? Or is that just electrical whine from the motor and ESC but the motor isn't actually turning?
What size tires are you using on that blue/grey vanquish rc?
When a crawler is setup with significant overdrive/underdrive gearing and is attempting to sidehill a steep section, I find that the dig's "freewheeling" option (third position) can be a very useful tool. Instead of having overdriven front wheels drag along the underdriven rear wheels through a sidehill section in 4WD mode, letting the rear wheels "freewheel" helps the rear to follow the front better by not slipping downward as the crawler progresses on the side slope. Although I only need to use "freewheeling" ocassionally, it can be a useful option when sidehilling with an overdrive/underdrive geared crawler.
That is a good point. That way, one is not dragging the rear tires. A 2nd drug for the side effect of the 1st.
@@RCReviewChannel Well said FC.
QUESTION??? Will Reef’s micro 99 work for the dig/2speed? Thanks
If I’m being honest, the dig looks like more of a hassle and not worth it as an option in virtually all situations. 🤔🤔. Great video as always and great honest review my friend. God bless and stay healthy and safe.
Pressing a button to be able to turn on a dime is not only awesome, but useful when climbing on steep terrain.
Could you also make a video on the Upgrades for axial umg 6x6? Idk if you already did one. Thanks
Will do. Just rebuilt the UMG 6x6 and it is ready for some action.
That’s what I want to see as well, just got mine a few days ago and wanting to build it up.
Do you run the vanquish SLW hubs? What size?
Can you set the dig servo so it gives you either 4 wheel drive or dig or rear free wheel?
yeah the dig unit does all 3 of those options you mentioned
Nice Video. I enjoyed watching it.
And I have a question, your Axial Scx 10 iii was black. How do you paint it again?
From the outside?
Best greetings from Germany.
Ahh, I bought a second body as soon as the parts became available at amainhobbies. Not easy to do because the screws are all random and there's no single screw kit. snp.link/bf1f6550
Thanks a lot.
Marcel Humme Paint from inside if it’s lexan. Maybe with ABS you can do from outside.
Where is the web site for your store
What about the dig free wheel. There is 2 dig settings.
What is your favorite or most used Transmitter for your crawlers? Seen you do reviews on a bunch of different radios. Just curious which one you like to use most (and why, if you're willing to add that information too!)
This one!!! ua-cam.com/video/0rUW8VyooaI/v-deo.html
What dig can i use on a gmade Bom
Love your videos and your channel and my trx-4. But i dont like the Premiere/Notification Function.
Good feedback. We're trying it out to see if the 'premiere' option is useful. One thing is I'm present to answer any and all questions during the premier viewing.
@@RCReviewChannel i dont mind the premier at all we just need more of them lol 👍🏻 keep up the great work Fran
What body do you have on it there?
Can you make a video on the best upgrades for the traxxas k5 blazer
He has tons of upgrade vids for the trx4 and they have my rig out performing all my buddies 👍🏻💯
Will do. Start with this ua-cam.com/video/t2s0ukOxsA8/v-deo.html
As above really both the axial capra and the scx10iii are capable of the free wheel option
Agreed. Yes, they are.
I like the cartoon effect at the end, looks cool.
We'll learn to edit some day.
I was actually thinking it would be cool to see some crawling with that cartoon effect!
What about differences between dig and 3 points dig?
OK I get it, very cool but when I run my RC 4 x 4 crawlers I like realism as much as possible it reminds me of the days back in Montana and I drove the real thing up in the mountains. Definitely more challenging but how are you this is kind of cool.
You can also set dig so it does not lock rear wheels but merely disconnects them. That would allow you to climb better and not be held back by rear wheels being locked. Your descending issue would also be fixed and improved as the rear wheels would still have traction and not slide but torque can be applied to front wheels.
Yes, we've tried freewheeling the rear wheels with dig since our rigs our capable of that. I would say 10/10... it just leads to failure. Descending... no chance since one just loses all that rear braking power. Climbing, it really has not helped. Can change the position of the vehicle sometimes but really causes more harm than good.
What’s with the screaming esc? I see that all the time on UA-cam but I’ve never had one of my cars do that? What causes it??? Sounds soooo loud. Haha.
Rat Rod Studios - DRR Customs Ltd. I have a feeling that rig has a brushless outrunner. A Holmes revolver or 3 brothers rc stinger are known to make some funky spooling noises. I could be wrong
Like a hand brake..😁
how to set did up. someone pleasw show me
What’s that whine?
brushless motor
Soooo, a DIG will help impress friends? 🤭
Chicks dig it.
RC Review 😂👍🏼 love it ! Keep it up bro
Im getting 2 now!
I still get lost with my dig I end up putting it in neutral so until I get used to it yes it’s not serving me that well
Dig can certainly be very useful. But it might be good to note that it is only legal in class 3 SORRCA rules. Class 1 + 2 it is not allowed.
Exactly. And there is the irony. It is not allowed in Class 1 and 2. Class 3, these vehicles have no chance since those are ultimate specialized crawlers
RC Review Exactly. That was my point. They would have zero chance against class 3 builds. So the dig is fun, it is useful in certain situations, but if your going to Comp with that truck as a class 1 or 2( the only classes it might have a chance in) you would need to lock out the dig.
What’s with the thumbs down? This is a well done video well thought out and correct. Haters lol
Dig has 3 positions 4wd free wheel and locked. The hill decent should have been in the free wheeled position and not locked in the rock line chosen for video.
We've tried that many times and the vehicle just rolls down out of control. No brakes on the rear means much less braking power which is crucial on the steepest descents.
It is rather unfortunate (and confusing) that the RC (and to some extent, the full-size) crawling community has chosen to use the word 'locked' here, in reference to a DIG/dig unit. The traditional meaning of 'locked' as it pertains to a transmission is in reference to preventing a differential from applying a differential torque to either out-drive (it's intended purpose) - that is, both outdriven wheels are locked to one another and there is no differential in torque applied wrt either; but both wheels are free to turn. Perhaps 'hand-brake' or 'rear-braked' is a more sensible choice, but alas...
its locked none the less.. the output shaft is locked.. no power to the ring and pinion (diff) so it can be referenced as locked.. why not.. i mean you cant spin the side gears (output shafts) with the dig in that position.. just the way it is.. same thing with posi.. people reference posi in none GM diffs lol.. but the point is made at the end of the day..
Nice video, but you did not explain HOW dig works, it was just how to use it.
in real life, scale 1.1, are crawlers using this technic to turn? never see...
