    I just love the way you build things!! No overthinking, just mark it up right and let it come together!

    I'm not sure why almost everyone in to rc crawling heads in the comp direction. I too got sucked into the comp idea and built a class 1 and 2, and I've never even been to a competition! I definitely regret that because I find I'm more into scale looks than pulling the hardest line. That being said I think your builds are freakin epic!

    • @LogainTheHumane
      @LogainTheHumane Před 7 měsíci +2

      Agreed. I have 6 trucks now. I built 1 comp crawler just do have a high performance vehicle. The rest are more focused on scale and looks. Taking hard lines can be fun, but I wouldn't do the hobby just for that one purpose.

    I like that he takes the time to tell his critics he doesn't care what they think. This hobby has to many people that think their way is the right way and only way. They are toy cars. He can build whatever, however he wants to. And to be able to say he built it, is way more pridefull than saying he bought it. Keep doing what you're doing bud.

    The fit and finish on this is much better than any of the trucks off the shelf with adjustable pieces because with your rigs you fit it how you like it and it turns out so much better keep it up man

    Dude, you're badass. Thanks for inspiring the rest of us "poor folks" that can't afford big brand RTRs and parts. So far the only "affordable" RTR companies I've seen are Element and Redcat. I'm definitely more of a scale/trail rig guy so it's way more fun to me to use scraps and others takeoffs to create my own rig, right now I need a transmission, driveshafts, and body to complete my first 1/10 build. Thanks for your inspiration to buy a welder 😂
    Keep doing you, I'll keep watching.

    @michellec4503 Před 5 měsíci

    Thank you Waffles RC, for inspiring me to not care what anybody else thinks about "my build". I'm Po' Folk too. I'm retired and live on a fixed income. I have been buying cheap RTRs and used parts cars. I use my own imagination, and a little, well a lot, of help from CZcamsrs like you, to build them up and make them my own. My hardest project was an old style Traxxas Revo 3.3 nitro I converted to electric. I made my own aluminum mounts and trays for all of the electronics. I mixed and matched many different brand parts. I must say, I am impressed with my first build. You're absolutely correct. It feels really good to make something from scratch. Even though I had an aluminum chassis to start with. I have been thinking about building a scale crawler completely from scratch. I will try doing what you did, except I don't have a welder. I will have to figure out another way of attaching things together. Probably drilling holes and using nuts and bolts like I have been. Again, thanks for the inspiration. I love how your builds are like tanks. Very durable.

  • @scalecrawlnl

    Thank you Waffles RC! Awesome you make your own rc crawlers. May I add, filming and editing an entertaining video is not easy at all, so well done Sir, really enjoyed the humour, and the action shots. Lastly for now, a great message you have Sir. Reminds me of the building approach taken by the motorcycle fabricators of lnspltblvd here on CZcams. Much looking forward to more from Waffles RC, scratch built at home, rc crawlers with impressive flex! Thank you, 'precision everything', nice one, added like 115 from overseas ✌😊

    Love it... I came back to my wraith after years, all it needed was a new battery but I wanted more. It's been weeks of modding and fabing, a bed, rear bumper, electric tray, clodbuste modded body to fit around the cage, blah blah, over 100 hrs in lol, still not don't, I don't have a welder so lots of aluminum sanding, grinding, trimming, it's a pain but so much fun... Love what u do, u got my sub ...

    You don't have to justify building something you like to build/play with! I would like to say Thank You very much for sharing your craft and art with us all! It's amazing that you have the creativity to think of something and actually use the trades to make/build it! It is amazing what you are doing and please continue to share and it's amazing to see this IMO. I just tried the Dawn Dish soap method for painting my RC10 B6.4 and it turned out Amazing!!!!!! you should consider it for a future body!

    • @WafflesRC-pb4nt
      @WafflesRC-pb4nt  Před 8 měsíci

      Thank you very much!! But i have to ask, what is the dish soap method? Sounds interesting.

    • @percivale6511
      @percivale6511 Před 8 měsíci +1

      You wash and clean and dry the body like normal, put the window masks on the inside. Then you squeeze dish soap onto it while moving back and forth quickly to get some lined patterns, you then spray the inside over the dish soap with the darker color in your paint scheme, then you let it sit a couple mins. then wash the dish soap out and let the body dry again. The darker paint will not stick where the dish soap was. Then you spray your lighter color and it gives a cool affect. After that coat drys, back with White :)

    coming from a racing background in rc, rules are dumb. theres so meany to me it takes the fun out of it. always worried about if your legal or not, and pushing the line ha ha ha. looks like it does better then a lot of comp rigs. i do have a couple comp rigs, but thats for when i feel like just being on the rocks, and not trail running. the only resin there comp style is I liked the chasses. great video's, and F the norm, kinda sad they can't think out side the box

      Also are there any long gear axles you can think of. Also what cheap transmission should I go with that will have some long gears as well. Loving the builds and I've already watched like 6 or 7 different videos of yours.

    • @WafflesRC-pb4nt
      @WafflesRC-pb4nt  Před 8 měsíci

      So for my mud truck, I just put a 3 gear transmission in it with only the rear output going to the transfer case. To get more speed out of it, I changed the pinion gear and spur gear. Bigger pinion and smaller spur got me more wheel speed. And thank you very much for watching. I'm really glad you like it!!

    • @WafflesRC-pb4nt
      @WafflesRC-pb4nt  Před 7 měsíci +1

      You can make it water tight for sure. I left this one open to try to get it to sink a bit better. For mountain climbing, mine have a lot of travel with long coil overs so they do unload a bit going uphill. But if you run shorter coil overs it will do really good depending on tires

First time with a Spektrum and it worked great at the beginning, but now kinda having this problem so.. any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
