Cool little rc😊
@@Fortes_RC_Adv yeah, not too bad! It managed to make me smile, so I guess it served its purpose!
They just need to stop making non-proportional rcs (even in toy grade). There are just too many good, and cheap electronics options for these cheapy cars that no manufacturer should be making binary steering or throttle toys. (Unless it’s under $10) This little guy would be an option if it had actual steering. Changing tires and fixing the suspension aren’t worth it when it’s non-proportional.
@@TheShopMiniRC I completely agree. I have some other models based on this same platform that perform so much better (largely because of fully proportional controls).
That OnlyRCs cup is fiiiire! That kind of truck is what I call a "Hotel RC" meaning when you are on a road trip with the kids and are bored you give in and buy a little RC to bash in the hotel hallways😅
@@briankugel8196 yes! I have a tote full of these tiny travel RCs - and surprisingly, there actually are some differences to them. And I absolutely agree about the Only RCs crawler cup. Totally worth it, and I’m not just saying that because it’s designed off one of my rigs. 😁😂
Great video, nice comparison. I love the Ascent 18, bought 2 for $99 each. The Evo Pro is $168 and performs better with a brushless esc/motor than the other 2 and the FX118 is too expensive at $199 even though it's 2 speed, I could see it for $179 but I'm a cheapskate. The FX118 has the best looking body, but all 3 are nowhere near the type of scale detail I like on my rigs. I 3D printed an 1965 F100 body for one of the Ascent 18s I have and the other I put an SCX24 1967 C10 body on it and they both look great now and are a blast to drive.
@@allanarstarfyre thanks so much! I agree the price range makes a HUGE difference. Also, I didn’t even mention this part in the video, but the slop in the drive train for the Evo Pro is a huge problem. I also recently found a scale interior for the Ascent18 from Part-Time Hobbies, and it adds such a great scale look!
Do it, if I was closer I would be snagging it
That seems to be the consensus. Well, the "do it" part - not the theft part! 😂😂
So disappointed with your purchase 😒🤣 Better luck next time dude 😅
@@rcocm hahaha thanks buddy!
😂 intro... "I dunno what I said" 😅 man... you always crease me up 😂❤
@@rcocm 😂😂😂 thanks man!
That was a half u boxing. Hard bodies, do a mod on the mog, paint and tires, reboody or regift the cheep, lol
Half unboxing for sure! haha The Mog will probably end up with a friend who's eyeballing it, and the Jeep will likely end up in my giveaway pile. 😂
Dang brother, now I'm gonna have to get into the mystery box thang!
Heck yeah man! Totally worth it!
I was mad at myself for not doing this deal. I want one of them Colorados as well! But i know if i took the gamble and didn't get one I would be mad at myself for not just buying it out right.
Hard to argue with that!
Interesting concept...will you be running them or moving them on 🤗👍
@@Scale_Slotcars_Latvia the mog is earmarked to go to a friend, and the Jeep will likely find its way to my giveaway pile for a future video.
The 269.00 box is all they show tonight? Anyone do that deal?
@@Rhodeislander I haven’t done that level yet. They offer them randomly while supplies last. It seems to be every 2-3 months, but I haven’t noticed an exact timeline of when they do it.
Ya I did the $249 a few months ago and got the jeep mashigan. My guess for $269 you will get the land cruiser which is what I was hoping for. Either one though make cool detailed scale trail trucks
@@zachpettit6773 nice! the mashigan is a good score!
I just found your video and I laughed so hard cause I got the exact same units as you did lol
@@rccargarage 😂😂 I’ll have to check out your video!
Neat, reminds me of a wall mounted slotcar system I had as a kid. called Wall Trackers
@@RCLifeChoseMe I never had one, but wanted that so bad! I can only imagine how awesome that setup was!
I got the same combo. I’ll probably just use them for gifts. $45 a piece isn’t bad.
@@mateolopez7024 not bad at all! It’s fun to roll the dice sometimes.
Yeah I wish that would have worked out. I almost got drawn in.
@@FYRC15 still a fun gamble, and it’s not like I got ripped off, so no serious complaints here. Just a bunch of whining which is what I’m really good at! 😂😂
@@CK4RC Yeah man I was like you. I wanted the Colorado. You have to get that stuff sometimes though. They are just a really good deal. I want to get that new 6 x 6.
@@FYRC15 yeah, the Arktos looks so freaking good!
Ended up with a Thunderstorm and a Colorado not a bad haul. The livestream post sale they said it was going to be mostly all EazyRC with some Rochobby so i knew where to set expectations. I think i made out ok
@@dynamic2336 nice! It definitely helps to have a good idea what to expect. I’m totally fine with the brands, and have previous experience with other mystery boxes, so I had a good idea what to be on the lookout for. My only disappointment is simply the fact I’m not a Jeep guy. 😂😂
@@CK4RC i wont hesitate to grab another mystery box it was fun
@@dynamic2336 heck yeah!
Seems like the majority of people havent been too excited
You might be right. I think there were some folks who had their expectations a little too high - hoping for full on FMS models and Fair RC modded trucks, which you just won't get from the mystery boxes. Sometimes you might score a Hobby Plus rig, but mostly it's Roc Hobby and Eazy RC vehicles, which I'm totally good with - I just would have liked a different model than the Arizona personally. Either way, I can't be mad at the deal!
Just make em badass mud rigs!
I like where your heads at!
Hard Body vs Lexan.. lol
Yes sir! Scale detail versus competitive performance. haha
BOGO is typically only a good deal if at least one item is decent, sorry for the bad luck of the draw on that one 🤙
Agreed! I'm a total RC fiend though, so I'm still not too terribly disappointed. I'll find something useful for them! 😄
BTW we picked up 2… scheduled delivery is today! Should we do a video?
Heck yeah! Super simple content, and answer people's curiosity about what gets shipped.
Cool find, You COULD run it but be aware that the old plastics will be very brittle and the old tyres will most likely not last long. Time is not kind to old plastics and aged tyres. I was given a 5th scale RC car recently that was made in the mi 80s. Had Mabuchi 540S motor and powered by 7.2V NiCd battery. Radio was 27MHZ so cannot be used legally any more in UK. I fitted new 2.4GHz receiver, brushed ESC and fitted 2S LiION battery pack. Motor was noisy and very weak so replaced motor with a modern equivalent of same physical size. On its first run even though I Was being very careful the brittle plastics started to give up pretty quickly. Before the battery ran out rear tyres came loose, rear wheels cracked and split so the wheel hex just spun round without turning the wheels and steering links fell apart. : As it is not a rare 'special' car You could run it gently and when it breaks it's no great loss. Just be ready to pick up all the pieces and glue em back together so it can sit as a static model. If I still had my old original Tamiya FOX I would tidy it up as a static model but would not run it. If I had my original RC10 that would be rebuilt with upgrades and run for fun.
I didn't even think of the plastic being more brittle! I have a feeling it won't run anyway, but I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens! Like you said, there's no real value, and I can still display it afterward either way.
Forest service that thing!!!
That's a brilliant idea! I was so blinded by disappointment I completely missed the possibilities. Good call!
BOGo/FOMO/LOLo this is WAY out of our league!😂
😂😂
Crawl escapes is no longer on the web
That's a bummer. If my intel is correct, the guy who runs it is in the military and is currently being moved. Last I heard, he had run through a bunch of his inventory, and plans to be back in a few months. Hopefully that's still the case. There are still some other similar options with Crawler Trax and Crawler Park. Thanks for the update!
awesome. its always fun when you get the kids involved.
@@RCLifeChoseMe yes it is! Especially when you get to shoot them with a Nerf gun! 😂😂
Stick some power into it and drive it like you stole it 🤗any old 27mhz controller will control it with the right crystals
@@Scale_Slotcars_Latvia I think that’s what I’m gonna try to do! If it’ll run, that is… 😆
Yeah interference is not fun, experienced that about 10 years ago, broke my hsp 2.4 ghz radio when i tipped it over off a tv bench moving some stuff around & killed it, had no throttle & steering only, even if i swapped the channels around only one side worked which isn't great for having control of the truck. (Cheap one off a hsp rc 1:16th scale truck which i no longer have at all.) Id give it a go but do a range check with a friend walking off with the car or swap electronics out ofc as new technologies these days can really mess with old rc's like these. Decided to test the 27 mhz radio & receiver i had sitting around in my brushless e-firestorm, and it took off into a tree like 2 minutes into running it breaking the front bulkhead & a front a arm. If you want some new rear tires for the Nikko frame buggy i believe it's the same size as say the Tamiya Grasshopper & Hornet which are still re-released today, you can also if you tear this down hobby grade convert it pretty easily & also put ball bearings in the gearbox. As for power a 7.2v nimh pack is standard in these, this frame buggy uses like a 35t 540 i believe, but the electronics should handle a 2s lipo ok as well if you keep the runtime too like 5 - 8 minutes before letting the electronics & motor cool down, especially as it's vintage things are worn down & aged, but thankfully not impossible to repair or upgrade. I don't know if its been swapped out for a bit faster 27t if that's something you remember doing perhaps, but it was a pretty common upgrade, even listed in the manual there the Mabuchi 540rs. Some people back in the day picked this up or the Radioshack branded Golden Arrow over the hornet or grasshopper and ran a 27t 540 in them. Nikko also used a similar chassis but as a truck rather then buggy, the Nikko Scorpion. At least the early versions does use a 540 motor before later getting a dual gear ratio & a 370 motor. Actually have another rc which is a 1986 Tamiya Boomerang i found at the electronics container at the recycling center we swing by daily at work, was painted horribly with i think oil paint rather then hobby paint of some sort so its stuck real good too the bodyshell and doesnt crack but is layed on thick & the combination certainly isn't my taste lol. Green wheels, yellow rear wing & a orange bodyshell with the blue decals screams 80's rc race car that needs to be distinguished at the track next too 3 - 4 other identical buggies. Which suffered a similar runaway (Broke front bumper mounts on the chassis & the front bumper mounting points on the bumper opposite too the chassis curiously enough, i found it attached with electrical tape wrapped around the chassis too keep it running along with the front shock glued back together.) But that may have been the receiver batteries running too low. Back when mechanical speed controllers were a thing they commonly did not have power diverted too the receiver but only went too the motor itself, so many had a 4x aa battery pack plugged into the receiver, usually wrapped in tape to handle bumps & jumps that otherwise would have a battery or two pop out & the car out of control.
@@Mini-z1994 I need to look into the Nikko truck! TBH, I hadn’t even given any thought to building this buggy back up, but I may need to now that you’ve planted the seed! Thanks so much for the comment and all the info/suggestions!
@@CK4RC Plenty of videos on CZcams of people running the Nikko F10 rhino, bison or Frame buggy as it's known as here & there modified & stock ones. The gearbox when upgraded with ball bearings is as sturdy as the Tamiya Hornet. Ampro engineering has a bunch of videos on the Nikko bison/Rhino F10 / frame buggy that are worth checking out.
Great video dude!
@@rcocm thanks bud! This one was one of my most fun to make. Now I just gotta see if any of these things has anything left to give! 😁😆
You gotta do it! 😅🤘
@@rcocm I think you’re right! I’m not sure anything will happen, but I have to try. 😆
Run it! Just don’t put too many volts in and there is no reason it would get hurt. Plus… if it fried anything, it’s still gonna just sit in the shelf.
@@TheShopMiniRC very true! There’s about a 97% chance thats what I’ll do, I just wanted to see what others thought first.
Hey nice rundown with Chad! He speaks very well on camera. Something that I’m awful at. However, doing my best to get better. Great vid
@@FYRC15 thanks so much! Chad is a great dude.
Hey great vid. I love the vintage. I am trying to restore my Futaba FX10. My first hobby grade rc back in 89. Also a radio shack Golden Arrow that my parents would never buy me. RC Onward!
@@FYRC15 oh nice! Did you already find a golden arrow? Or is it on your wishlist? I love those classic RCs!
@@CK4RC yeah I have that one too up on my top shelf. Going to do a sort of resto mod on the Arrow. I have all the parts rounded up now for them both. I will get cranking on them sometime.
@@FYRC15 I’d love to see that process & end result!
Oh yeah I would try it. It’s pretty rough, I don’t think it’s worth anything
@@JerrMin the sentimental value is astronomic though! Haha there’s approximately a 96% chance I’m gonna give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks for casting a vote!
@@CK4RC true about the sentimental value. I just wasn’t sure if the stuff was your old things or someone else’s, the way you was talking when you were going through the box.
the claw yeah i had 1 n seein this video reminded me of it great memories with that truck thanks man
@@DubVredneck thanks for checking out the video! There was a lot of ingenuity back then, for sure!
@@CK4RC ok so ur my age roughly there was a car that was battery opperated and you could change a bunch if stuff on it like take it from road course car to baha ish style im thinkin n ya could add (buy) upgrades do you have any clue from such a thurough n detailed discription? 😬😂 ive been trying to remember for a few years exactly what it was and what it was called
@@DubVredneck X Mods are the first thing that come to mind, but the timing doesn’t seem quite right for them. Do you remember who made it at all? Tyco was kind of the toy RC king back in those days, with Nikko being up there with them.
@@CK4RC wasnt an rc n it was a new company but my thinkin squishy thing aint workin
@@DubVredneck 😂😂 I’ll keep thinking and do some searching to see if I can find anything.

Nice review bro,luv the bad jokes😂. I just got a blazer fcx24,love it.
Wait, what do you mean "bad" jokes??? 😆😆 Thanks for watching and commenting! FMS is putting out incredible models - you can't go wrong with any of their trucks!
So just my 2 cents. I really feel like if you were to just base it off ability Redcat wins. I think the line choices were a little different and you could have rock hopped onto the stairway to heaven obstacle. I do feel like you need to gas your way into and out of things more with the Redcat because it doesn't have the commanding slow crawl like the other 2. Before I purchased my Redcat a buddy( with more disposable money than me) brought over his rigs and the 2 that were still stock at that point were the Evo and Redcat. The Redcat, obstacle after obstacle could not be stopped where there were certain limitations that we found on the EVO. Keep in mind this was just us messing around on my indoor course and out and about outside ,but I could not believe how great the Redcat is out of the box over my axial scx24s that were modded. Just blew me away. So of course I bought one that night lol. The Evo is great but I really feel with wheels and tires and making the Redcat brushless the Evo wouldnt stand a chance ( i added tires on this example because I feel the Evo has better stock tires) Anyhow great comparison they are awesome platforms. I haven't gotten to try a fury wagon yet but hope to soon. Keep up the great videos and ill keep a watch out for the 5th rig!
OHHHH and price point. You like me purchased the Redcat at that awesome $99 release price compared to the EVO at what like $219 and the Fury wagon at $199.
@@F.N.G.RC1 Yeah, that intro price for the Redcat was unbeatable! And I can't/won't argue with how awesome those Ascent18's are. I ended up with 2 of them because they blew me away so much. What really gave the Evo Pro and Fury Wagon the edge on the course was the brushless Furitek systems having FOC. That makes such a huge difference with slow crawl and controllability. But to be perfectly honest, you can't go wrong with any of these 3 models!
