    Have you done a review on scx24 1:24 scale. For the price $120 and it is hobby grade it is the most superior mini crawler. I have more fun with it than my scx10ii. The only thing I found it needed was the shocks lowered to the chassis to help clear the tire rub on the front fenders. To do that I had to drill small holes in the the chassis in the front. The rear had holes to use.

  • @stack8778
    @stack8778 5 років тому +4

    Awesome vid Kevin, I do think you explained the differences about the cheaper units to a better Rc grade unit , I also think your spot on about people being able to start off with something that’s a lot less money and then they still get to learn exactly how everything works and then their more likely to move up to a real Rc because they can better understand the workings and the movements without having learnt a big lesson by wrecking a real Rc like Traxxas ect... and losing interest because they had to spend extra money fixing something they really didn’t get to enjoy before truly understanding it 1st ! But I don’t ever think that the Chinese Rc’s will ever replace top notch Rc’s because the Chinese stuff aren’t even close to the type of Rc quality you get from the top Rc builders , and overall the Chinese Rc’s aren’t far off the top Rc prices , so you really do get what you pay for when it comes to buying 1 from the top Rc builders ! Keep up the Great vids ! 👍✌️

    I bought one cheap wltoys 18428-b crawler in Second hand store. I just paid 4 euros from that. It has similar structure as those two cheap crawlers. However, believe it or not, you can buy all spare parts for this wltoys 18428-b in Aliexpress.

    Hey kev, would love to see a comparison between the devestator and the axial 1/24 crawler. Would be a awesome comparison

    I need an expert option. I have a jlb cheetah. If I adjusted my camber too tight and the dogbones were seated too deep into the drive cups, would that be the cause of them bending?!

    Great video. Just goes to show you if you spend a little bit more it's much better. But you can still have fun with all of them. But I would like the expensive 1 lol 😂 Good Job. Love the look of the Devastator.

    It would be interesting to see where you'd rank the Axial SCX24 among the indoor crawlers.

    Dude try the axial scx24, tiny 24th scale crawler and it is really awesome :) I was wondering if I want to get into crawlers and this one makes me sure of it :)
