I bit the bullet and bought the komodo! Now to start the adventures and see how it does. In this video i just talk about the komodo and briefly about the tf2 blazer im building.
Have a few of these as well, great followers!
How'd they work?
I never did get to modify them and ended up selling all of them to one of my friends for his build. I'm not sure if he modded them yet or not. I will give him a shout and let you know. As far as fit they were excellent and stacked the rounds nicely unloading by hand they all stayed center. So hopefully he has used them and I'll get back to you with good news.
Hope this solves my cycling problems, thanks for what could be an awesome tip
Hopefully it works out, I haven't got to modify my mags yet to test it out. I started a new job and I haven't had time to do anything yet.
one of the best reviews i have seen. my only disagreement is the scx as #1 but thats because thats what i got and ive learnd to love it for what it offers and what it lacks. Im making a fun on the disagreement. Thurough and honest and entry level. well done for the hobby.
Thanks, I appreciate your comment. I prefer my Toyota tf2 out of all of them but most prefer the axial scx series for versatility and ease of modification. Plus parts are cheaper and easily obtained. It's all subjective though. What works best for you or I someone will loathe and love something different. That's what is great about this hobby, there is something for everyone.
Dude, I just bought my first RC4WD kit, I know this video it says it's four years old but it sure helped me today! Thank you!
That was the reason I made it. I'm glad it helped. One day I hope to start uploading again.
@@wncrcandoffroad3919 dude i struggled for an hour before I looked anything up, i watched this and bam! lol hell yeah man!!
Can you change the tire to 4.7 inch. Wondering if it will be too big and will keep touching the body
My dad has aftermarket tires on his, proline swampers but I can't remember the exact height on them
Good review my friend - thanks What is the wheelbase of the GMade in mm? And is it extendable/adjustable? Thanks.
287mm wheelbase and it's 4 link rear so you could always use longer links to adjust a small amount. I wouldn't go more than a few mm longer with links though.
I have Proline tires and its inposibel...i still trying but there is no way to fit those together
You have to buy proline specific inner rings I believe.
WNC RC and OFF ROAD ohh, thank you sir !
@@derutuber store.rc4wd.com/19-Proline-Tire-Compatible-Internal-Beadlock-Rings_p_2878.html
WNC RC and OFF ROAD thank you very much...i feel so stupid 🤦🏻♂️!
@@derutuber we all learn man. No worries.
My trx4s are the most capable. My tf2 marlin is my favorite. I have a gen7 that outperforms my trx4s but its modified to the hilt. It has the gen7 frame rails and lower links left on it.
I enjoy all of my crawlers. But I have yet to own any redcat products. They haven't made anything that has caught my eye yet. Hopefully one day they will bring something to the table no one else has.
The Traxxas TR-X 4 is the best overall R/C crawler. TRX-4 innovative designs is second to none. People need to understand the TRX-4 is a scale R/C truck so you can't compare it with a R/C crawler design for rock crawling only. Yes, this TRX-4 will tip over easily because it's a smaller scale of the real truck. I have many R/C crawler, TRX-4 is my favorite.
I use my trx4 and my tf2 trucks the most. I like what each one of them brings to the table.
Hi m8 Thanks heaps for such a informative vid, i know very little about the crawlers, I’m in the process of finishing my son a Hsp Rgt rock crawler for his 5th birthday, I know it’s a cheapish one but it’s pretty cool for the boy, and me, I’ve actually become obsessed with it🤣I found it so enjoyable trying to do little custom things to it, through watching your vid it’s helped me look at a truck that might suit me, I have come across a hobby shop near to home and I’m thinking the scx10-2 is probably the one for me, and this is the truck the shop stocks so I’m hoping they will look after me with support ect, thanks again and wow what a bloody collection of trucks you have they all are so cool. Thanks
Sam grant glad I could help. The scx10II is a great starter. I would suggest looking between the different versions of scx10II rigs. They vary slightly from rig to rig of course body being the most obvious. But axial has a LOT of support in oe and after market parts and options.
Awesome video dude thanks
Your welcome. I havent posted in months. Found this one on a memory card so I thought I would upload it
very true and love the video
NICK'S SHOP. Thank you
I as well just ordered a Redcat Gen 7 Pro , I figure a cheaper rig to mod , and enjoy building up .
sluf1963 i wanted one. But have never owned any redcat products. When you get it let me know how it performs and quality i may get one to mess around with. The komodo I had was a decent rig for 370 i think it was. The redcat comes in under that Mark if i remember correctly and if the quality is there redcat may give gmade hard competition.
It's an awesome rig love my gen 7 pro ..grab it before my scx most days
I have the TRX 4 , and I love it , I have spent too much money on it , but I believe this machine is awesome . I love the locking diffs , and the 2 speed transfer case .
sluf1963 the trx4 quickly became a favorite of mine as well. I like them all and would own 5 of each if I could.
We can subscribe each other. If you subscribe me i will subscribe you back by this way we can grow our channel
Thanks for all the information! Very helpful.
TandemCTelevision thanks. Glad I could help
Im leaning tward the TFL bronco. All alloy, very little plastic. Good weight to it. Have you ever ran one of them.
Keith Lea i have not. But rc everyday did a build series on the tfl bronco that i followed. They look cool but for the price there are way more capable rigs out there. Plastic doesnt bother me much as long as it's decent quality plastic. I love the tf2 hard bodies and don't care much for lexan. I believe the body of the tfl is fiberglass with the alloy cage. I love the way they look but I'm just not so sure about them and parts availability.
Nice video RC brother subscribe to my channel I'm going to subscribe to yours as well thanks 👊
Kizzel Garrett I appreciate the comment and I'm glad you like the video.
Gen 7??
Jacobs rc adventures I wish I could've featured one of every crawler/scale/trail truck made but realistically that isnt possible for me. I haven't ever owned any redcat products so I'm unsure of the gen 7 crawler.
I like my MST CMX. It is very rugged and I've had a lot of fun with it.
KodeKraft I haven’t had the chance to own a mst chassis vehicle yet. I have seen a few on Facebook and CZcams that looked really awesome. I want them all lol
WNCTrailRiders Yeah they're very adjustable and the price point for what you get is excellent. I picked mine up for under $200.
They just come out with a jeep wrangler, unlpainted for the trx. Looks like it might have a lcg. Im gonna order me one Friday. Check it out.
kevin10870 are you talking about the axial scx10II jeep? It’s he same as the scx10II Cherokee as far as chassis goes. Good platforms to build and modify on. Have fun with it!
WNCTrailRiders naw, this one made by traxxas designed just for the trx.
kevin10870 I haven’t been paying attention to the rc market since the release of the bronco. But I do believe I remember seeing something about a Jeep body for the trx4. I haven’t been making videos because I’ve been working on my other non rc projects.
Good video
torerro majors thank you for watching.
You should have mounted the camera! This sucks!
twissted you so far are the only one whining. It was a video I decided to do on a whim.
I understand what twissted's point was but he falls short on tact. Slinging insults around is my number one gripe with online forums. Speaking of gripes, more appropriately called criticism, well that is to be expected and should be graciously received IF delivered as a well crafted, well intended, noninflammatory observation and well intended suggestions along with supporting rationale. That said, no single example of any particular thing will suit everyone well enough to be free of all criticism. I think when we decide to participate in sharing all the various things made possible online, the inevitable comments of ones disapproval are opportunities to demonstrate your own strength of character and dignity. Back to twissted's comment and your response. I too think the camera moved around too much but nothing like a webcam video made by kids. Nevertheless, it starts to eat away at me when I should be focused on content free of distracting annoyances. It is my position that videos made on a whim is fine. Whether a video was made with some planning and by design or on a whim, they both are susceptible to an overall decline in viewer satisfaction resulting from laziness. It is what it is (as I see it), and I am guilty of it more often than just occasionally. This video what pretty long which degrades the validity of the whim excuse. It would also appear less whimsicle being that all the vehicles featured in the video were gathered together beforehand. With that in mind, I might respond to the comment left by twissted as follows, "I couldn't agree with you more the camera should have been mounted. Thanks for watching. You suck, too."
The only problem with 2 speed is getting it to work all the time with lil work into figuring out end points and such. The rc4wd 2 speed in the tf2s ain’t the best at keeping its endpoints
Billy Sanchez I use the dx4 radio and setting endpoints are fairly easy. I suppose it depends on the radio is how big of a pain it is. Servo savers help too.
Any of the trail trucks can be modified with 2 speed trans or with gearing were a 35 turn motor would give the best of both worlds this goes for the RR10 (Bomber) also. I race my Bomber in U4 solid axle 2.2 races and i have a sensored brushless set up in it and i am able to do trailing and racing with it. I also race my scx10 in the 1.9 solid axle class and it to has a sensored brushless setup. The traxxas truck is in my opinion the greatest rc truck that has ever graced this planet due to the multiple shifting options (just like the summit). The traxxas operates more like a real truck however, if you want realism and great detail you will need to look at Tamiya trucks. The Hilux and the F350 are 2 great looking and shifting trucks with a 3 speed transmission. As you had said earlier it is all about your taste and what it is that you are wanting to do with the truck you choose.
Great work! I agree with most if not all of your thoughts. Traxxas blew me away with the trx4 and I think it gets more negative feedback than it deserves sometimes. Remote locking differentials are about the best thing in the scale scene since two speeds! Can’t wait to see the two speed Trailfinder build you were talking about. Liked and subscribed!
Ethan Boening I love 2 speeds and I’m digging the selectable diffs. To bad they aren’t totally independent of each other but one step at a time. I’m excited to see where the market and hobby goes in the next few years
You have a lot of options on the diffs. I've reversed the diff-channels so I can lock the rear diff first and then both. I've seen some other have both diffs locked in the middle position, and lock only in front or only rear depending on how the switch is positioned. But then U can never turn it 100% off. U can do this with the remote menu or as I do via the Bluetooth link.
100% agree. my axial might not be my favorite if money grew on trees, if it did maybe get a real one, then a driver. im glad it dose not for the americans that want america to be the dream it was imagined. My buddie has a 1/8 and a 1/5 of those pure crawlers you were talking about and i dont know how he does it, their niche and not very realistic and a look only a mother could love. Oh well i revel in the one out of ten climbes my scx redeems itself. take good care brother.
thanks for the tips
sgtlt your welcome hopefully it helped you out
i used tape to line mine up. after all the work the wheels I had did not fit. Also the bead does not sit that well. I was not happy with my wheels. Also could be the tire.
Growyourmind86 rc4wd wheels are picky with tires and rc4wd tires are picky with wheels. I’ve only had a couple problems and that’s just because I was mounting tires. They are always a pain regardless of brand usually.
I just described to your channel, first off Merry Christmas RC is my passion Love getting outdoors I been out walking more than I have in six months that I have an 30 years, I have the marlin crawler I love this rig I've done some upgrades I done the revolver shackles and the Z box just on the back Took out the inner springs out of the back shocks left the front ones in because it set too low it performs very well , stock wheels and tires I will be watching more of the videos
Andy Richey merry Christmas to you as well. And I appreciate the subscription. My videos aren’t the best but I try to make them informative.
Where did you get that body height kit at?
Dwayne Baker it’s a rc4wd body lift. I ordered that one off of eBay from liquid rc I believe. Lhs could possibly order it or you could order one online. I just literally tossed out the part number tag. If you google “rc4wd body lift kit” it should pop up several places that have them.
Thanks For Sharing
d smooth anytime anytime
Are the wheels plastic or aluminum Fixin to buy one myself to go with my other trailfinder 2 wich will be a blazer soon
Kentucky Overland they are stamped steel with aluminum beadlock rings
WNCTrailRiders thanks for the reply can't wait to get mine
Kentucky Overland I enjoy it. It’s a neat rig
There is totally enough upgrades too call this the trail finder 2.5
Dwayne Baker i would agree to that. Once i get a full day i plan on testing it and running it through its paces. I wasnt expecting some of the things i found like the metal servo horn and updated drive shafts. Maybe they will carry those over to the rtr and kit tf2 trucks
Thank you for the video!
Garry Bailey hopefully it helped you out. Thanks for watching
I subbed! I was the guy on fb telling you about the lwb bed being bobbed up front :)
Garry Bailey nice I couldn’t remember your name I looked through my notifications and couldn’t find the convo. Thanks for the sub man!
Ray Fannin
Hi. Are the same lift srings or the Marlin´s are really softer ?
Carlos Cabrera to actually answer your question I pulled the smaller leaf out and compared it to my rtr tf2 the leafs on the marlin are softer than standard tf2 leaf springs. I have my rtr set up the same way with just 2 leafs and the smallest pulled out. The marlin is much better.
this is the best review
Thanks man!!! I'm diggin that link set up, both mine are leafers.. one has tboxs and shooters, the other I just did the "oring"mod. Both have the talker shock hoops like you have and the motor drop. I'm going to try that relocate on my red one! Thanks again! Subbed👍🏻👍🏻
Mid Life R/C do an instructional video man when you do it.
WNCTrailRiders ... will do, won't be crazy long like my motor drop video.. lol
Mid Life R/C i did forget to mention that it gives you a touch more steering because the links actually catch on the bottom of the shocks relocated to the back you gain a couple degrees steerinv
