At mention of the fpv expedition, I say that's a fantastic idea.
I think having both the traditional review and also the videos of you guys enjoying your trucks is worth the watch! PLEASE keep it all coming!!!
Showing usage and enjoyment of the vehicles is perhaps a better sales pitch on crawling/the trucks/whatever than just "hey this is a good product"
Agreed. That's what the original Flite Test was about... look how that turned out!
Deffintly more spots like that would love to see some fpv from truks as well
Great location guys👍👍 Love the new headquarters!
Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.
You totally nailed it from 4:28-5:00 on why crawling is so awesome! I've had fast RCs before, for racing and bashing, however I enjoy my new orange Gen 8 Scout the MOST! Great video!
Fantastic review of these trucks. Keep them coming!
Still a great video 3 years later! The scout gen 8 is an ageless beauty!
That is quality content
Very fun video, guys! Edgewater is such a cool place! I'm looking forward to spending some time there!
Good vid guys can't wait to see more fun times at the new HQ =)
YES! so glad to see Stephan on another Alex vlog. You know ur gonna have a good time when those two get together
We love EVERYTHING "Drive On"!!! Keep the content coming
Im buying one of these this week! Thanks for the video guys. Love your content, keep it up!
Cool video!! Love the gen8!
FPV CRAWLING! I’ve been saying it since you started this channel. That new location is perfect for some FPV crawling expeditions. Full pan and tilt, how far can you get , what obstacles can you get past. A second driver could spot ... There’s some pretty crazy ground based FPV videos with working gauges in the car and going surprisingly far . DO IT !
Your channels are the definition of satisfaction.
That Gen 8 is a Beast!
Love that you guys started driving rc cars
I'm pumped for this new chapter in FT/DO history.
Love the edge water episode!
Heck yeah fellas!...ive got a modded gen 8....live real close to you guys....we should get a crawl date set up...got a few buddies that would show up
I just ordered a WLtoys 10428 1/10 buggy. I almost threw down for a Bison or Cheetah or Zombie. But in my researching these RCs I found much more enjoyment from 'rock crawling' vids/trucks than watching cartoonish, scale model monster trucks performing jumps and aerobatics not found anywhere in real life. Or them literally tearing themselves apart in the quest for unmanageable speed. Keep it up on these 'On the trail" videos. Wish me luck in this new avocation.
Nice bros! Can’t wait to fly there!!
I'm sure you guys are already planning one or more crawler courses on the new property. So happy for you all!
Love your videos keep them coming
Love the channel please keep posting! This channel will blow up
Yes! a fpv scale crawler trail would be great to see.
You guys are funny, great run😂
You guys crack me up! Subscribed
The one thing you guys are missing with these scale trucks is, modifying them to make them your own. Between all the different bodies and axles and brushed and brushless motor setups. Making it your own is the most gratifying thing about them. Even just swapping wheel and tire combos makes a tremendous difference to these crawlers
Hell yeah! FPV that biz...This truck will be my first entry into crawling from the FPV drone arena and i'm already planning on doing FPV w/ her.
Add a recovery hook to the top of the body, attached well. Pick up an old broom handle, and add a hook to the end. Instant recovery mechanism for the river runs.
You must be running the stock foams. They get really hard when it’s cold. Put some Hyraxes and two stage foams on it and it’s unstoppable
Great video need more exploration videos with the trucks
Great vid 👍👍👍👍👍👍
i can't wait to check out the place if you guys have another open house.
tip , when you get stuck in a puddle or some mud wiggle your front tires
Drive On has great potential.
I am glad you are doing some crawls around Edgewater it's a good reminder to bring some R/C ground vechicles.
I really like your take on product reviews. It seems more like they are aimed at the casual R/C truck and car enthusiast. I am personally really happy about the positive relationship with Redcat.
I am a tinker'er and think the Gen7 and 8 is a great jumping in point.
" Oh, did that break? LET'S MODIFY IT!" As long as there is aftermarket, and I have tools, I don't care what they made those axles for, their goin in the Gen 7.
I have a Kyosho Optima from the 80's that's Kyosho, Custom Works, Tamiya and Boeing.
So, yes product reviews and thrashing around Edgewater avoiding being shot at by airsoft toting A-10s is awesome.
How about taking on a ARRMA Limitless? That's a R/C car that will leave a mark.
I can't wait any longer for the fpv expedition!
Great viedo keep going..
Yay for stephan, ive missed you in episodes man
river crawling is wicked fun, but you gotta make sure its all water-proofed up. they all SAY they are water-proof but they almost never are, or at least cant handle submersion in a running river. the best way i have found is putting the receiver in a balloon and then put clay or sticky putty around the wires coming out of the hole with a zip tie or rubber band around the neck of the balloon. then put that back in the normal water resistant receiver box. you can also use some corrosionX on the receiver when you put it in the balloon which helps.
I like these trucks but I’m still in love with my trx 4 haha
Dan Gavin - RC videos scx10 ii for me always loved it
Pretty sweet ride, guys!!! 😃
About FPV with crawlers... Definitely do it! It's pretty smooth! 😃
I must have 3 videos, I guess, of FPV with a crawler in my other channel. 😃
Love the content XD and also FPV EXPEDITION !!!!!!!!!
Killer video loved it. So many places to crawl there. Need to make some tracks for faster vehicles
Awesome content as always bruh's
Do FPV Jetboat race from one end of river to the other.
Yes show the Gen8 in a scale setting👍👍
Uhhhhh yeah, you did FPV expedition at edgewater on your channel already, but YEAH Bring it on some more!!, Throw some long range gear on it, GPS, and an OSD for fun too! Bringing my traxxas 2wd LCG Slash up to Flight and FPV fests this year.
CHEERS!

Glad that you guys are doing RC cars your video production is always perfect.. I’m hoping you guys touch on pro level RC race cars like Xray RX8, Mugen, Serpent and infinity cars Gas and electric.. we definitely need some reviews and exposure on our sport.. hope you guys work on it.. keep up the great work..
I think it would be super cool if you did some shows with some legacy RC cars and trucks (if you can get your hands on them) like the Clod Buster, Lunch Box, Traxxas Radicator, and some of the old buggies like the RC 10, the Frog, and the Grasshopper. I have an old Kyosho Pro XRT Stadium truck I'm trying to get on the road again...
Just a thought...Keep up the awesome work, guys!
Watching you guys crawling around is enjoyable. Go for the fpv, I'm sure that could be fun.
Best video ever
More crawling definitely. Will see you all soon!!
I just got a blue Gen8, so definitely more stuff like this!
Are you guys going to be landscaping edgewater? You could make it onto a dope RC playground with tracks and everything
Dragon Knight Adam i hope so they could have a scale airport strip and amazing country side town with a drift track and built in crawler course. I could see this being a thing
@@michaeldavidcilantro3378 yeah, the focus is definitely and obviously air but as you can see they really embrace all things rc and are just a great group of people.
This is hands down my favorite Surface RC videos.. these guys are literally admitted noobs to the surface rc game but still my fav vids.
I looooove this type of content guys. Can't wait to come camp for the weekend! Planes, crawlers, friends, and fire... what better combination can you think of!?
Break those tires in man. I did a fig8 to break mine in. The more u drive the softer they get and after that they are just awesome and can make more climbs than I ever thought possible.
Can't wait to crawl with you guys. Maybe we could do a crawling mob with 20 or 30 rigs like dj medic has done through a mall or city park
After watching your video of the car drop on your Flite Test Channel and this one, I might purchase one of these in the near future. I will be looking for a Jeep Wrangler YJ body (square headlights) and modify it to look like my '92 YJ to eventually replace the Scout body...as much as I like that Scout...
Want a real rush like you experienced with Trent Palmer and the Flying Cowboys? Do it in real life. See if you guys can hook up with LITE BRITE (Kevin & Brit) on their YT channel and experience real rock crawling in their Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JLUR)... You will totally get why it's addicting...like bush flying...
Great video, keep on reviewing and keep on bringing us the crawling adventures...
Also...did you know that they make operational miniature winches for these things???
FPV on crawlers is really cool
Just stumbled on this channel. Awesome you guys do more than just fly. I use fpv on my little Axial 1/24 jeep. Super fun expeditions around the yard. Any chance of adding a crawling course during the FliteFest?
You guys need to make a video of this thing towing a jet boat and launching it in the pond!! That would be so sick!
YES! Would definitely love to see this with FPV with headtracking. 👍🏼🤙🏼.
PS: we're waiting for some uploads guys.😥 What's happening?
Niceee brother
the word you're looking for is...... 'SATISFYING'
FPV run? Yes please!
Did you guys have any problems with the factory waterproofing?
hell ya fpv crawler would be nuts fun
pine needles are like greased ice!!
What is threecell? You mentioned at 8:46 , so it foes faster on overdrive , it comes standard?
do these have a high/low gear ratio ... commanded from rc control ?
What kind of batteries are y’all using on these? I’m looking to purchase one but I don’t currently have any RC batteries so I’ll have to get all the bits and bobs.
So much lawn to be mowed at the new spot, how you manage that much?
Do all of those gears and stuff get wet and stop working or anything?
So how do I come and fly at Edgewater Airpark? Do I just show up? What are you guys planning in having people come out there? Will there be tent camping there? Thanks!
How deep can these wade? Are the internals protected from water ingress in any way?
Hey guys looking to buy one next week would i be ok as my first crawler or should i go a different way??
Is edge water open to the public for flying and crawling?
I wonder if any crawlers are sold with treads. those could go over way more stuff
Blindfolded FPV crawling!!
Drive on!!!
I like this content better than the reviews personally. As much as I do want to see those, I'd rather have a good time :)
I really love this video can we please get more
Why are you guys not posting??? These are great!!!
I never knew FT/DO moved into a new place. As for some of the questions you asked. Fpv in a public place? Have you heard of Henry the car that thing gets attacked alot from his thumbnails. You exploring Edgewater sounds great there should be a lot of good hazards and bunkers to crawl around in. I like all your content reviews, amazon specials, fpv. Have great time!
Recommended battery?
Wow you guys have some great land there. You should build a crawler park and run some FPV crawler competitions. I really like all the content, reviews are good but this is a little better.
aw shit love this truck!
A flight test check out RCSparks
How about dong a FT-style foamie body for the Redcats?
plug the holes on the rims to keep water out
Absolutely more crawling adventures, maybe attend or hold scale competitions at new home...crawlfest??
Did y'all buy a golf course?
Do the fpv thing, that sounds awesome
I think that you guys should make a trailer for the redcats so you can carry drones and stuff so you can drive to a certain place, takeoff then land back on the trailer.
The little tree branch which blocked the RC . Reminding me people cut down trees to slow down their enemy during the war.
Of course, it is not working too much now.
