Chuck Mashigan was the designer of the YJ jeep so I think they named it after him instead of calling it a YJ jeep cos its not a licenced body 🙃 And wish they made it 1/6 scale to match my other 1/6 scale crawlers and trail trucks. And like the lights you added too the jeep, nice work!!
I think you actually may be in luck there because it's actually 1/7 scale. The wheel base of a Jeep YJ is 93.5 inches, which equals 2372.36 millimetres. Which divided by 7 is exactly 339 millimeters which is this thing's wheelbase. So it should fit in fine with your other rigs.
Something special about your channel.. I love RC sparks . But . His channels has changed so much over the years.. this is almost like his back when he started .. nice video
I discovered, one can use a piece of white sponge foam. (Not too dense) Cut to shape to fit the light glass interior. And it makes a budget l.e.d. light diffuser.
I need one of these. I have an '88 YJ rock crawler with Chevy powertrain. It runs leaf springs, but I have 16" of wheel travel rear, and 18" of travel in front. I imagine this little rig with leafs, would be like my Marlin Crawler though. Scale, but not much travel. Need to find the best place to get one from.
11:14 Scale 1/1 leaf springs can actually give you a lot of flex and articulation, we old Willys/Kaiser/AMC CJ owners know this, but it is hard (so far) to replicate this in small RC scales. Maybe the vehicles need to be weighted down for a more realistic scale (sag) effect?
@@Hjerte_Verke yeah. I’ll be doing a leaf version and straight rock crawl version. Just hope they don’t limit production. Then it’ll be treated like a vintage bruiser and be sold for double. I plan on about three of them.
I've been waiting for a 2door . Nice almost rtr jeep / truck. The headlight buckets, get a Molotow chrome pen, Hobby Lobby carries them,Wally- world ,Amazon . That 2 speaker box is so cool, listen to your tunes while trailing.
Its HUGE! Looks more like 1:7 or 1:8 scale, not 1:10. Lately, it seems these manufactures need to take a course on scale and proportions, jeez. Looks cool , much like a YJ, but the crumby axles under are a bummer, but that can be fixed. lol fake Hyrax tires.
Definitely a great looking rc.. especially after you added the lights.👍 love the scale look of it.. cantaloupe wait to see it with the hobbywing system in it 😊 happy crawling
Awesome review! I've ordered mine and I can't wait for it to arrive. I love what you did with the lights. Thanks for sharing all of those upgrades. - oh one thing, the battery you linked to on amazon has a deans connector not the TX60.
Sweeeeeeet rig!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing one of these in real life soon! Hopefully I can eventually get one too! Great video as always Haley! 👍
I no longer own a YJ, but have a TJ, CJ and DJ. But my brother has a YJ Renegade and would love to 3D print a body kit to put on one of them and paint it to match his. I may still get one for myself. And it is an early style YJ based on the cage (sport version vs the family cage) and all YJ came with leaf springs. 4 link is better on RC, but don't knock em on a real rig, my YJ had some really good flex offroad.
Yes it was leaked back in July by me, I think. 😉Since the pre-orders and all the info were only found on European sites, I don't think anyone actually received one before this pre-release however.
Did the Mytrick RC light kit come with the soft white headlights? Or were those an addition light you had to buy? Great video! Setting up my Jurassic Park JEEP Mashigan I just got now!
Fantastic vid. Looking at getting into the hobby with this Down Under 🇦🇺 and will do the same mods as you. Love the scalability. Unfortunately it looks like these aren't available anymore.
Yeah they seem to be sorting out trademark stuff. I think they'll do a re-release soon - fingers crossed. It's a great rig that deserves to be out in the world (with licensing or small changes!).
@@RCGirl I could see some damage happening in a rollover. Hey what size would you consider those shocks to be cause they where tiny looking for a 1/10.
Why did they stop selling it? I was ready to buy at the end of the video until I found all the links are removed from their website and amazon. Bummer😢
if they put a spring in those they should've made the headlight round and itll be a TJ.. i have no idea why they did this.. a 2 door jeep with spring suspension is always a TJ not YJ
That jeep has potential to be amazing, you did a great job. Just one thing no driver your killing me. also couldn't you take the yellow headlights and light the dash with them and then run your own better light kit
I am sure you will be able to buy them separately soon, as spare parts but they messed up the plates design. For all 50 states the plate design is 6 x 12 inches and this looks like it is 5 x 13"
Looks like the Mashigan has been re-released: www.fmshobby.com/products/rochobby-1-10-mashigan-rc-rock-crawler-rs-red-4wd?ref=RCGirl
HI RC Girl.
I tried to buy one but no longer available in Europe.
It looks like Jeep doesn't allow FMS Roc Hobby to sell this amazing rc car.
Chuck Mashigan was the designer of the YJ jeep so I think they named it after him instead of calling it a YJ jeep cos its not a licenced body 🙃
And wish they made it 1/6 scale to match my other 1/6 scale crawlers and trail trucks.
And like the lights you added too the jeep, nice work!!
Hey thanks for that intel. There's not much info on Chuck, at least that is easily found however. Good call 👍
thanks for the info! haha

Finally!!! FMS rochobby is killing it! As well as marketing every favourite UA-cam channel has it all of a sudden.

Love the truck and I am glad it fit for you :) Thank you for the shout out :)
So fun, thank you! Super creative design
Great looking rig and a nice in depth review, off to part 2.
Best review of this rig I've seen to date. Thanks!
Lights take it to the next level. These FMS/Rockhobby rigs really deserve sound cards as well..

I imagine this little rig with leafs, would be like my Marlin Crawler though. Scale, but not much travel. Need to find the best place to get one from.
The original product description lists optional leaf-springs so be on the lookout...
Ein sehr schöner allumfassender Bericht, Danke schön !!
11:14 Scale 1/1 leaf springs can actually give you a lot of flex and articulation, we old Willys/Kaiser/AMC CJ owners know this, but it is hard (so far) to replicate this in small RC scales. Maybe the vehicles need to be weighted down for a more realistic scale (sag) effect?
Yeah all my leaf rigs are pretty stiff...
Chuck Mashigan is the guy who designed the YJ (what this is based on) hence the name. a nice little tribute to the designer
Thats a very nice looking rig! Suspension looks great for realistic flex and scale movement
Wow! I am so impressed and it looks so cool! Thank you so much! RC girl! It looks awesome!👍👍🫶🫶♥️♥️🇵🇷
Nice rig 👍🛻💪god job to install the lights and musicbox
Awesome video. You are correct the YJ came with leafs. You can always say the suspension was upgraded with coil overs. Lol.
LOL!
There are optional leaf spring upgrade parts listed in the original product description. Look for the thread at RCGroups in the crawler section.
@@Hjerte_Verke yeah. I’ll be doing a leaf version and straight rock crawl version. Just hope they don’t limit production. Then it’ll be treated like a vintage bruiser and be sold for double. I plan on about three of them.
It looks really nice. I like when crawler is actual car, not some 'what if'... Great review ;)
Thanx RC Girl for a very detailed and indepth review!
That's awesome jeep looks so real and watching enjoying too AWESOME VIDEO RC Girl
Gotta get one! JP jeep on the way!
Wow girl that looks awesome, fantastic job love the lighting, Yep wheeze here watching. Will catch you on the next one, peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
Very nice that Jeep RC. Nice to play with. Personally it's just my thought.

Yeah it's definitely more in line with their 1/6 willys and jimny.
Great video as always
Thanks! 🤙
That is just to cool. All of it.
Love it! And yes, the plates are reflective 😎
Realy cool review my friend , this
" Jeep " is so nice , I like very much the speaker and the lights ! , well done 👍 , have a good day 😃😉
Them lights and radio are sick loving this 5th scale ima keep it stock and just enjoy what they did and if it breaks then I'll put my twist on it
That’s too cool, haha!
So neat!
It has finally been released in 1/10 scale by RocHobby.
It looks like a YJ Jeep and is very nice
Great job with the those head lights. Yeah the factory are too yellow. The speaker box looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing job love you so realistic😉😉😊
Definitely a great looking rc.. especially after you added the lights.👍 love the scale look of it.. cantaloupe wait to see it with the hobbywing system in it 😊 happy crawling
Yeah the lights really take it next level
🔥 🔥 🔥 amazing stuff 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome rig 👏🤠
Nice truck great to see girls into it also just got my xmaxx
That is cool, my local.hobby shop got a few of them in stock....your lights look awesome and sound system is so cool💯
Yeah the lights and sound system are pretty cool :)
Nice. They packed it in one of those foam coolers from the gas station.
Great information on this New Rig. 💯

Ah thanks for the heads up. Changed the battery link. Have fun with yours!!
A very Naice and Cool RC Truck
Nice review friend
I like it!
Those Jack stands are sick👍
Thanks! I'll be adding them to my merch shop soon :)
That's so dope!! The beats are so liiiiiiiittt!!!!
haha!! thanks, yeah the sound system is really fun
Great review. You wasted no time in adding lights and a sound system, very cool.
Sweeeeeeet rig!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing one of these in real life soon! Hopefully I can eventually get one too! Great video as always Haley! 👍
Thank you!
@@RCGirl Welcome!
wow thats a very nice rig, i love it... ;-)
Great video! Looks like a great rig
.
Awesome video 💯💯💯‼️
Thank you!
God, how great is he 😔
*VERY COOL*
very detail review, i just ordered one. thanks dear
Awesome!
I really wish I could see one of those in person and try my figures in the seats.
Aww reminds me of my old yj 🥺
I no longer own a YJ, but have a TJ, CJ and DJ. But my brother has a YJ Renegade and would love to 3D print a body kit to put on one of them and paint it to match his. I may still get one for myself. And it is an early style YJ based on the cage (sport version vs the family cage) and all YJ came with leaf springs. 4 link is better on RC, but don't knock em on a real rig, my YJ had some really good flex offroad.
I really like it. I wonder why they say is a 1/10 scale when it is much bigger.
Just ordered mine from FMS Hobby!
You are the best rc-girl😉👍🇧🇻
aw shucks! thank you

Chuck Mashigan designed the yj and the jeep assembly plant is in Michigan
Only Jeep I've seen with neat wiring 🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍
I'll definitely buy some stands of ya
This looks amazing :)
Chuck Mashigan was the designer of the YJ Jeep therefore the name
Love this one. also where do you get your license plates ?
nice zusuki sj13 mashigan
Lol....held by....held by gravity. It's good to laugh first thing in the morning.
ha! yeah a magnet would be nice there. Popped open a few times during the run
@@RCGirl I could see some damage happening in a rollover. Hey what size would you consider those shocks to be cause they where tiny looking for a 1/10.
Do you think the seats in this are easily paintable?
Great looking Rc I own 3 YJ's so I'll be adding this to the collection but man wish they'd have went with shorter wheelbase YJ are short.
Sweet! haha yeah can't please everyone. People seem to like the longer wheelbase stuff
@@RCGirl to bad you cant buy the 1/7th scale anymore
They make a leaf spring kit for it now. Costs around 50 dollars.
🔥🔥🔥😍😍
This rig is really awesome! But it ist rather a 1/8 scale model - compared to a Tamyia CC01 Wrangler YJ it´s much much bigger !!!
Nice rig but have we not enough jeeps already in this hobby?
Nice
I want to run round headlights and make it Light Khaki Metallic like my Unlimited Rubi TJ!
Why did they stop selling it? I was ready to buy at the end of the video until I found all the links are removed from their website and amazon. Bummer😢
Cool
Does the transmission have metal gears and bearings too?
Love it
if they put a spring in those they should've made the headlight round and itll be a TJ.. i have no idea why they did this.. a 2 door jeep with spring suspension is always a TJ not YJ
Great video! The wheelbase is 339mm or 330?
339
@@RCGirlIs there a chassis that can donor components to this rig? Like axles or drive train?
That jeep has potential to be amazing, you did a great job. Just one thing no driver your killing me. also couldn't you take the yellow headlights and light the dash with them and then run your own better light kit
I know! I have two GI Janes but they are in full army gear and I thought that would be weird haha
what camera do u use for close ups plz?
Is mine here yet?! I’ve always wanted a Tamiya cc01 YJ so I’m super stoked for this! 😂
Are the links steel or aluminum?
Subbed to you
Do you happen to know the shock length of it by chance
You posted a competition for a firehorse Was going to enter for my nephew RC mayhem.cant find the link ? FMS definitely best RC company of 2022

สวัสดี ครับ ผมติดตามคลิปของคุณ แทบทุกคลิปเลยนะค่ะ เก่งจริงๆเลย
1987 yj jeep 93.4 inch wheel base. 93.4÷13.3=7
This is a 7 scale jeep.
ya, like they said, 1:10 scale.🤣🤣😂 They aint the only manufactures labeling things the wrong scale. Seems to be a trend in the hobby lately. lol
How can this be a 10 scale
????????
@@PhilBender612 Yes, even the big hobby names do it BUT I wish they would get it right!!!
Are you willing to sell those Michigan plates because that's where I live
I am sure you will be able to buy them separately soon, as spare parts but they messed up the plates design. For all 50 states the plate design is 6 x 12 inches and this looks like it is 5 x 13"
They are just plastic. Prob worth ordering custom ones from Cryptic RC or RC Plate Shop.
@@RCGirl thank you I'll have to do that hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving
Really nice car with the light and good review, too bad it's in 1/7 scale and not 1/10 and that it comes with leaf springs.
Nej, den kommer med oljefyllda dämpare. Bladfjädrar är ett tillbehör.
I miss the fast forward noise you used to do..lol
haha! OG sounds. I'll have to bring those back!
Though it's was real for a minute 😂
