- Remember when John was instantly mesmerized by the ROCHobby MB Scaler and just had to have... a few of them? Well it happened again, but it was just one this time. John got his hands on the new 1/12-scale RocHobby 1941 MB Scaler Willy's Jeep. In this video, John gives you one of his special overviews of this new kit and takes it for a quick rock crawl right there on the workbench. Will this rig with hobby grade internals fair well? Or will it need a number of repairs and mods like it's larger brother. Check out the Holmes Hobbies review of the ROC Hobby 1/12-scale MB Scaler!

Every time I say "no more rigs this year", someone makes something I can't live without
^^This^^
The other output on the transfer case is a PTO for a shaft that could be run through the bumper. There were a number of farm implements and tools made for the early CJ's as some used them like a tractor.
I have both 1/6 and 1/12 and love them both c")
i purchased the 1/6th scale version which accommodates my 12" WWII action figures. Other than it's smaller counter part which doesn't have leaf springs, turning signal and rear lights, it's an awesome RC. And the 1/6 does have a trailer, canopy and a gun & mount purchased separately.
I have a 12 scale just got it and I'm begging to find out if I should water proof it or if it's waterproof allready
That black jeep with the cage on the top shelf is super neat looking I’ll have to check that out!
thnx
Nice 😃👍
I got the 1/8th rig last summer, but ended up selling it in the Fall. Been thinking about grabbing another one. This is a cool little dude. May grab one.
Hello sir
Could you give me the dimensions of this 1/12 jeep pls?
That sure is a good looking shirt!
Found Tarrell! He’s hangin’ out with Betty!
I think your micro esc will be perfect for that crawler, and you can create some tiny motor for that Jeep
Missed you bro! I tell myself the same thing every day too!🤣
I’ve been talking myself out of buying another servo from you but I don’t think it’s gonna last the weekend🤣🇺🇸💪🏻💥
I have dozens of those Tamiya cross wrench's I have mad them into dog whistles bottle opener's jewllery, so yep might have a draw of them still incase I lose or break one lol. Being 1/12th has given it the right scale size to 1/10th trail rigs as the 1-1 is tiny four fit marines one on each corner were able to lift one and putting it back on it's wheels once tipped over which they did often was easy, I have toppled my 1-1 several times and recovery was easy as long as there were three or four guys like myself over six feet and 250lbs is all that was needed.
I like it, and want both sizes
Can you change the wheels on that one?
I bet its probably closer to 10 scale if you compare it to most crawlers. These jeeps were super small. Wheel base to wheel base its probably close
According to the wheelbase of a 1:1 ‘41 MB it’s truly 1/12 scale
@@GeezerGramps that's pretty cool then. Its hard to tell from the video just how big/small it is compared to the 1/10 trucks
I still want a Ryft kit, to build a mega bouncer outta, lol i doubt id get that mini jeep, not enough trucking for what i like
Enduro24 for the transmitter
how to buy
Only missing one thing from my perspective - a Holmes Hobby motor of course. :-)
I'm afraid I'll break it
@@HolmesHobbies I - know -I know... But still. :-)
@@HolmesHobbies It's about How it breaks...
You need the new red cat with your motor in it stock lol
The spring goes to the bottom of the battery.
Triple As? Why y'all do this to me? *Back of shirt says "your source for power"*
I was all in till you said 180 motor! Good grief can they make something with a bit more grunt😒
TX is for a 1/24 enduro.
Motor is huge and nearly oversized! Never saw such a tiny car with such a big motor ( maybe Panda Hobby).
I have both, of course... 1/6 and 1/12.
Why would you change axles? Metal gears, none of the others has this. Why motor? By far largest motor of all with this wheelbase...
Why motor? Do you know who I am? Lol! But in all seriousness, axles i would change for having replacement parts. I haven't seen any shafts or ring/pinions or transmission parts available besides parted out rigs on banggood. It's why I bought two rigs when I got the 6th scale.
@@HolmesHobbies Of course I know who you are, and I use your motors.
But you say the motor is too small and this is not true. The motor is much larger than in all the other tiny rigs (not scale, but size). And the axles are awesome (but steering angle), metal gears, universal steering, full ball bearings, full metal transmission.
You should first take an exact look before you judge. I did only change the steering servo and shorten wires and take some leafsprings out... it is an awesome rig, even out of the box.
You should take a closer look. It has some fantastic functions. In 2nd gear (not in 1st) you can switch on/off drag brake and the lightcontroller is awesome (can switch off blinker function, has hazard lights, 3 main beam modes with half, full and only "dark light"). Even a LaneBoys RC lightcontroller could not do it better.
This is one of the very few trucks where I will not change electronics... ESC is ok (better than in all other tiny righs out of the box) and rather silent, and I would not know how to put a AS12/15 or other top ESC into this truck without loosing all those fantastic functions.
@@HolmesHobbies he has a great channel John. Maybe take a sec and check out his in depth tear down video on this tiny scale jeep. Stay good ya'll! Peace
I am talking about OL Donald of course. Hey Donald, say " Super Cool" ....!
@@ryano8613 LOL - "Super Cool" ;-) - but my videos are far too long for buisy guys like John H. ;-)
Most of the time.
Why wouldn't they build a 10th scale ? 1/6 and 1/12 . I don't get it . I have the 1/6 and would buy a 1/10 scale .
1/12? Who is gonna drive it?
this 12 scale is way too much money for it . i like the 6 scale willys really good crawler
Bother me to ad much as THE ryft cost
Pretty fast for a little guy.. yeah that's what my gf said
That is an amazing scale willys but why 1/12 ??? They made a 1/8 and went to a 1/12. Why not just go with the rest of the industries’ 1/10 scale way of doing things ??? Ughhhhh
The rock is more big than the jeep😅🙈🤷🏻♂️ cmon
