No hex screws? Kinda surprised. Also, sorta....not s fan of, how that gear box looks, leaves the gears open for debris to get in there, even if everything is greased & oiled, would have me worried.
It came with hex screws, but as you could see they didn't provide any countersunk hex screws! Besides that I totally agree with you!! I don't like an open gearbox!! And I really don't like the way the whole gearbox sits on two little pieces of aluminum, only on one side of the transmission! The first thing I said when I looked at it! Was that I don't like anything that's got open holes for little stones and dust to get into!! Especially when it's made for speed!! and the wheels are throwing all that sand and dust up into the transmission!! They definitely need to rethink the design of this transmission! But if you're ever building an on-road truck it's a pretty good setup for a clean environment! 😅 I really appreciate you watching and leaving me your opinion! That really means a lot to me, as I have the same concerns with this product.
@rcfungames I couldn't agree more, dude, they definitely need to re-think their design aspect of their motor upgrades, especially when it comes to their gearboxes. Especially if you look at Axial's SCX24s, which doesn't have holes or you look at Traxxas' TRX4Ms that don't have holes, neither. May be learn from other companies, would really help them, in the long run. 💪🏻🤠
I was definitely a bit shocked to see the state of the drive shaft!! I have barely run this van and definitely haven't got it in the situation that it should have done that damage to the drive shaft!! Going to be checking my other van which has run a lot more to see if it is also sustained this damage. I really can't remember getting it in any situation that should have caused that damage. I had to be honest, in my opinion this is not suitable for anybody trying to build a crawler! I have already spoken to them and they will be letting their design team know, and hopefully they will be addressing the issues I have mentioned. I am hoping to see a sealed transmission with at least two pinions provided one for speed one for crawling. Thank you so much for watching bro and taking the time to leave me a comment. 🤜💥🤛
Definitely!! this is not a good fit for a crawler at all!! Let's hope they rethink the design, and at least give some optional gearing if you'd like to set it up for crawling. I really appreciate you watching, and taking the time to leave a comment! thank you very much 🤜💥🤛
Definitely not a body suited to build a very capable crawler!! But still one of my favorites!! And I totally agree it definitely makes for an awesome Trail rig!! I will definitely be taking it to the Sandy Canyon place bro!! I'll give it a good run over there and might even get a jump or two out of it 😂🤣 Then it is time to get that transmission out!! 😅 It definitely blew my mind how much power and speed the setup has! Once again bro I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave me comments 🤜💥🤛 Thank you very much brother
Olá Amigo! Mais um fantástico Video e Tutorial e Review que tanto vai ajudar aqui a malta!🎉 Continua o bom trabalho e a partilha de tão boa Info! 💪🏻🐼🏆🐻❄️👌🏻
Olá amigo António Isto tem que sido muito difícil com a família e a minha saúde! Mas ter amigos com você ajuda muito a manter um pensamento positivo!! Um grande abraço
Eu sei bem o que é isso meu Amigo, tb estamos a passar momentos mais kilhados com a Saúde da minha Filhota mais velha, pensar Positivo e Ter uma Boa Energia à Nossa Volta é o que mais importa ❤ Um Mesmo Forte e Apertado Abraço meu Amigo! 💪🏻🐼🏆🐻❄️👍🏻
Definitely wasn't expecting any damage!! As I have only run this van a few times!! And I have been extremely careful with it 🤔 I don't ever remember getting it in a situation where it would be bound up to cause the damage!! I will definitely be checking my other van which has run a lot more to see if it has any damage. Well at least I know what I'm upgrading next 😅 Don brother, thank you so much for watching 🤜💥🤛
I have to bro!! I don't see the point of reviewing a product if you going to just not mention the downsides to it!! Like I've mentioned, the concept is great! But the design needs some work!! And I would like to also see, an extra pinion gear, part of this kit, allowing us to gear it down for crawling.
He took a mushroom and a star at the same time!! 😅🤣🤣 Super Mario will never be late for another job 🤣🤣🤣 I had to be honest! even if RCAWD doesn't want to work with me in the future! I tried to speak to them about these issues, before I put up the video! And they weren't too concerned. So I thought I better be honest as I wouldn't want people spending their money on this product knowing that it's got too many downsides to its design. I really do appreciate you watching and leaving me feedback on this video!! 🤜💥🤛
Wish I seen your video before I ordered this. Everything you say is correct. It is hard to believe anyone approved this disaster of a transmission. Mine was “unbranded” but exactly like yours. I assumed mine was missing parts etc and got a refund on mine but they let me keep it. I did install it since I had it and it’s kinda fun, but too fast for any crawling and I would never recommend this to anyone. The worst single rc item I’ve owned. Also I have never seen an ad for these that shows the huge gaps and absurd narrow-edge floating mounting arrangement. They don’t want you to see what a joke this item is.
Bro I was so disappointed with this transmission and motor combo!!! 😔 Luckily I didn't pay for it and it was sent to me to be reviewed! But as you can hear in the video, I was clearly not impressed!! It's great if you do a lot of trails, that extra wheel speed is awesome. But it really struggles to do some nice slow crawling now, and the way that transmission sits floating in the air on two little tiny points of contact!! He's a massive design flaw! To be honest all the parts I tested from them, we're about the same! meaning, that it looks like they didn't take much time thinking about the quality or longevity of their product. Hopefully, they will up their game. The worst thing is that when I try to tell them what I thought about the product, and if any reduction gears would be available for that transmission!! I never got a reply! And when I expressed my concern about the way this transmission fits to the mount plate, they also never replied. As you can imagine I was a bit disappointed.
No, not as far as I am aware! So far, I have only see this setup available at RCAWD. It's a great concept but they definitely need to rethink the open transmission design! After that short video the transmission is covered in sand and dust!! And of course I can get crunching inside because of the sand entering all the holes! Great concept but not a good design!
No definitely not!! It would have been nice if they provided a different pinion gear to gear it down! with the kit!! I also don't like the fact that dirt and stones can get into it! And I'm not a big fan of only having two little tabs on one side of the transmission to support all that power! They definitely need to rethink the design. Thank you very much for watching and leaving me feedback 🤜💥🤛
@rcfungames hoping they listen to your critical feedback I bought their aluminium transmission skid for the t hunter thinking it was a upgrade but there was no way of mounting the transmission the evo version thanks
No me neither!! It was a real letdown when I saw how this transmission was designed and with so many holes making it impossible to keep dirt out of the gears.
@@R-EVLMNKY totally agree overpriced and really badly designed! Even if you change the electronics, which I have done since this video, it needs reduction gears in a transmission which are not available. So definitely a no-go if you're building a crawler. But for those that want that extra wheel speed, I guess it's okay.
@@rcfungames thanks for that added useful info! I was thinking it could do both after doing the electronics 🤭 I guess we need 2 of them for both fun😂😂😂
I had to be honest! even if RCAWD is not happy with my review. I honestly wouldn't waste my money on this product! After that short run that you saw in the video, the whole transmission is covered in dirt, and of course sand has got into it just like I thought. If you want to turn the rock van, into a drift vehicle, and run it in a clean environment with this setup! it's great 😅
No it's definitely not set up for crawling!! Which is rather disappointing And yes I was even more disappointed that the proper hardware wasn't included. I have let them know all the issues I have had with this system, and they said they would be addressing the issues. So let's see what the V2 will be like Hoping to see a completely sealed transmission, with at least two pinions provided, one for speed one for crawling I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave me a comment bro. Thank you very much 🤜💥🤛
@@rcfungamessadly I don’t think they care. This item has been out for over a year. And they have a version for the fms straight axle trucks. Same issues.

That’s some torque twist on that driveshaft! Wow!😮
Nice honest review and yea this is definitely a speed motor for the CR-18!
I was definitely a bit shocked to see the state of the drive shaft!!

Seems to me that setup would probably work best in a rock bouncer. Good video brother 👍
Definitely!! this is not a good fit for a crawler at all!!
Let's hope they rethink the design, and at least give some optional gearing if you'd like to set it up for crawling.
I really appreciate you watching, and taking the time to leave a comment! thank you very much
🤜💥🤛
I have always felt like the Rock Van’s should be trail trucks anyway.
It wold be really cool to run it out at that red sand location 😃
Definitely not a body suited to build a very capable crawler!! But still one of my favorites!!
And I totally agree it definitely makes for an awesome Trail rig!!
I will definitely be taking it to the Sandy Canyon place bro!! I'll give it a good run over there and might even get a jump or two out of it 😂🤣
Then it is time to get that transmission out!! 😅
It definitely blew my mind how much power and speed the setup has!

Oh shoot, it’s a good thing you opened it to to see that drive shaft.

Mario definitely gave the van a mushroom combined with a star!!
😅🤣🤣🤣
Now he will never be late to save Princess peach!! 😂🤣🤣🤣
Hello,
Interesting nice update!👍
Greetings Seven🖖
Hello Seven 👋👋👋
It is interesting but not a good setup for a crawler!!
Thank you so much for watching bro.
Greetings Ryan 🖖
Super cool I’m here watching April 13 1:09 PM
Hi Andy, and thank you so much brother 🤜💥🤛
Mario took a mushroom :p . Tanks to be honest with us, nice vidéo :)

Yeah not a big fan of the exposed gears 🫤
No me neither!! It was a real letdown when I saw how this transmission was designed and with so many holes making it impossible to keep dirt out of the gears.
Over priced bad design…you will need to change the electronics to make it crawl again with that motor set up, hobbywing esc /dumborc tx/rx will do 😊
@@R-EVLMNKY totally agree overpriced and really badly designed! Even if you change the electronics, which I have done since this video, it needs reduction gears in a transmission which are not available.
