Here's the V2 RGT Adventurer. Land Rover Defender 110 1/24 Scale Micro RC Crawler. This is not the same as the FTX Outback Mini 2.0, it's more like an FTX Outback Mini 3.0 ;)
Buy it here:
www.banggood.com/RGT-136240-V...
So this has a few changes from the V1 RGT, most notably the front mounted Motor with transfer case, this alone makes this better than an FTX Outback Mini, 2.0, ECX Barrage and Hobby Plus CR-24. This has to now be the Best Cheap Micro Crawlers. Not worlds best, that belongs to the Axial SCX24 from what I've seen! How about this RGT Vs Axial?
Much more control, slower crawling speed and looks really nice! I expect people will still want to upgrade and modify the little RGT Adventurer, but out the box this is so much better than before!

It´s always gratifying to see a manufacturer respond to feedback and improve their product - the RGT V2´s the way to go!
Certainly is nice to see! Much better now than the 1st....which was actually pretty good anyway!
Oh yeah un-like ecx aka horizon hobby they will just say o well don't like buy something else! They still have 0 plans for scx24, ecx barrage 1/24 or 1/12th hopup or ungraded! 😡
@@TJthercGuy They want to keep on making money without re-investing in further product development, just like the fat cats at the top of the British motorcycle industry in the 1960s - and that didn´t go well for them...
While the update is awesome, id say is was more to be competitive with HobbyPlus as far as customer support. RGT hasn't responded to customer feedback at all IMO, even the first gen is just a shared unoriginal design.
HobbyPlus has done far more when it comes to customer feedback. Making changes in current versions, upgrade versions, and the single only micro truck manufacturer to have first party HobbyPlus branded upgrades instead of waiting for the aftermarket to catch up
I'm glad you made a review. I will buy 2 for me and daughter to play indoors during the long cold winter.
Yes, good fun
I like how roughly he treats the cars, feels more realistic and honest
Yeah, they are not eggs.... haha
LOL
Hi Phil! Well, seems like a little change to the design has made a massive change to the performance! Impressive drive up that cardboard ramp, I was amazed at the grip it got on that smooth surface, and no tipping over backwards. Nice one mate! :))
Cheers Mark. I think I need to put it up against the CR24 😎
@@TomleyRC Yeah, I think you should, mate - however, although I like the CR24, I think this new one will win hands-down! : )
The Hot Up parts from the earlier version fit this. I've just fitted the drive shafts.
But had to modify the ride height to reduce the driveshaft angle and stop the hesitation.
Thank you very much for sharing your videos, they serve me a lot personally, to know which one to buy for my personal collection. Thank you
No worries mate. Thanks for watching
It looks real nice; might have to add this to my 1/24 fleet alongside my SCX24 and Carisma Brat! Nicely done video!👍😊
I think I need to get an SCX24, heard they are good 👍
Tomley RC Garage they are excellent and it was cheaper than my Carisma!
I think my views of this must count for most of them on this video because I keep coming back to watch it! I'm very tempted to get one of these. I've just got the Hobby Plus CR-24 G-Armor in yellow which I love. Especially the pre installed led's in the actual body. But I must admit as well as the transfer gearbox and the front mounted motor, it's the gorgeous Red colour of the body on this one that really floats my boat. This could be my first RC purchase of 2020.
haha...keep watching...
The CR-24 is a decent little crawler. I've tested it against this already, and to be honest, there is not much in it. I have a stronger servo in mine as the stock one is a bit pants. The only advantage I could see was better traction on the front wheels of the RGT, but nothing a little weight added to the front of the CR-24 won't fix ;)
@@TomleyRC That's good to know Phil. Thanks mate. Maybe I will hold off and see if the bodies become available separately instead then 😊👍👍
Wow fantastic little Rig mate, fantastic unboxing and review test run video, 👍😁👍
Cheers Tony 😎
Looks great! Thanks for showing us, bro.
Aren’t you freezing with the door open?
A little cold haha
Your Gair-uhj is growing! Thanks for the review! Haha nice rig
haha...cheers
Definitely on my shopping list
It looks sooo good. I didn’t like the other bodies of the other micro trucks, this one caught my attention by a mile. Just cause the color and the roll cage lol. The chassis looks better too. Great job
Mini TRX4 :)
Thanks for the review. Good to see these “Toy/Hobby” grade RCs from Banggood are getting better and still very affordable.
No worries dude. Cheers for watching
Awesome little car, dude! 😃
It's much better now! Really nice! 😃
Cheers dude
Thanks for the vids Tomley. I've been watching quite a few in the past month. I'm trying to get a small indoor/back-yard crawler to FPV with. I fly whoops on weekends and race FPV micro cars mid-week. We want to get crawlers and set up some tracks to race. Most important thing is the smoothness and low speed control for the tracks we want to use.
How does this 1/24 RGT Adventurer V2 compare to an Axial SCX24 2019 Jeep? or the "URUAV 1/24 2.4G 4WD Mini Rc Car Proportional Control Waterproof Crawler " over at banggood?
Thanks again and happy new year!
Hi mate. I've not got a SCX24, but they look good. higher price tag and 'should' be better. But the V2 RGT and the CR24 are both very close. The RGT V2 has a better slow crawling speed in my opinion. And if I were to choose out of the 2, I would chose the V2. But I think the CR24 body would be better to keep the CoG down.
Looking forward to!! Sweet! NC❤ MOUNTAINS🏞 Backyard RC and MORE 🖒💯
Funtastic video my friend ive been looking for desktop crawler This is definitely on my list great price as well😎🇬🇧👊😊👍
Yes, it's good fun! And capable!
Great review cool little rc
Cheers dude
I bought the WL toys 1/24 crawler and I love it. You should try that one out!
Just picked one up for $7 at a pallet return store. Best $7 i ever spent. thing works great. Holds a charge for a long time. It is a great indoor crawler.
Wow! Nice!
Hey Tomley. Does the front motor mount allow for a bigger can, you think?
Look at high much higher the motor is mounted forward like that. Maybe make it into a hill climber and drop a kyosho brushless mini z motor in it.
Pretty impressive little truck.
Yeah its nice
Great value for money you need one ❤
Hi Tomley i have a question, Wich one would you rather, this rgt or hbx devastator ???
Add a small cable tie to the left rear shock to increase the preload and it'll stop the front right from lifting. You might even get up a steeper slope :-)
Yeah, good idea!
quite an improvement really!
Yes, much better. Need to build a better course really to test it.
So the best part about the v2 design for me is how easily plastic model kits WITH INTERIOR will fit!
I've seen it on banggod, and it look awesome, will maybe buy one later.
Amazon is better
I have one of these. Super fun!!
Looks big, have you a pic of it next to a 1/28th like mini z or wltoys..?
I just bought a trx4. not gonna get away with buying a second micro (I have the "devastator"). tho the Orlandoo basher is really tempting too
Not bad at all, it has the slow speed and gear ratio like my ftx mini outback 2 ranger, it's another reason I like my new version of the ftx outback mini 2.0 is the drag brake it's very strong.
Happy rc 👍
Yes, the 2.0 looks good, they are slowly making improvements
@@TomleyRC hi mate, yeah they really did well on the 2.0 improvements, lol i trashed my house the other day making a crawling course, lukily the wife did not mind so i did not get a beating haha
Great and very comprehensive review. I ordered mine based upon your info here. I like very much you take time to answer all questions from your viewers. Any aftermarket scale body for this? Greetings from Colombia.
Thanks David. It's a decent truck. I actually bought a cheap 1/24 Range Rover Sport Toy RC and modified the body to fit my other RGT...so I should think there will be other bodies about. And also the CR24 has a few different body styles that should fit
Nice planetary 👍🏼
I adore the fact that 1/24 rc are making an decent impact on the scene. Can you buy bigger batteries for longer run time? Great review!👍👍👍👍✌
you can, for the size you dont get much longer in run time though, maybe 1-2 minutes as ones this size are between 1200-1500mah, they are cheap though, normally around £4-5 so you can buy 4 and charge them up and just switch when flat, i find this the best option, plus you have extra batteries if one of the packs die.
I'll be honest, the run time is pretty good anyway! They use 1s FPV batteries, so plenty about
500mah gets me about an hour of run time. I keep a second as a spare. Anything much bigger is too big and heavy and makes the truck top heavy
Great video once again. I'd like to see a side by side comparison of the new rgt and the hobby plus now that the rgt is geared better.
Yes, will do one soon. 👍
@@TomleyRC great always look forward to your videos
Looks very capable, although don't like how the lights only come on when you move. Only had my Hobby Plus for a couple of months.. Can't justify another 😂
The Hobby plus is good. The Upgrade kit for it makes a big difference also!
Just got a few of these and tbh im a bit disappointed ! Out of the box after i charged the bat you can hear a chrunching noise🤦♂️ outback mini 2.0 no probs...is there any other models u would suggest? Appreciate it...
awesome video thoroughly enjoyed that i really want a micro crawler but find it so hard to part with £70 ish for one haha i will get one eventually though, this one however looks absolutely fantastic and with it being waterproof aswell means it would be fun indoors and outdoors fantastic review pal and gutted about the grey shell but as they say no pain no gain haha looking forward to the next one
Cheers dude. They are really good, you may find one second hand 👍
Hopefully haha I reckon they'll get the better of me one day and I'll order one haha
Looks like you called it right all those months ago Phil... this has been realised as an FTX Outback Mini 3.0!
😎👌 I’m surprised it took that long to release the 3.0... maybe some delays due to Covid.
A year later and I just found out about this thing. Just to mess around in my house, I think I might get one. Plus I heard there's upgrade parts for it. I might have to get steel Axels and steel driveshafts but hey it looks awesome
Yes, good fun!
@@TomleyRC done a bit of research and it's between this and the wpl c24, might have to get both, who knows! Haha
Neat little thing. A bit noisy though. But looks good
Looks great! Do you have any opinions on the Axial SCX24?
i'd like to try one, they look very good!
Will these take a small 2 s Phil mate
The lights blink on the red one as you moved it and it made noise too or it caused the sound to be distorted.
Yeah, I don't like the lights only being on when moving. It is noisier now due to the transfer box/slow motor
in comparison would it be the same? .. you see an additional transmission with the previous version, is this new much better? Could you tell me? ... I don't know English 😢 I just translate some comments and I understand, thank you very much, greetings from Chile!
The extra weight over the front wheels helps it grip better and climb
Hey great video i had the outback mini x 1:18 which was faulty so been looking at this mini 3.0 its smaller but would you say its morw capable?:)
Yes, this is the same as the Mini 3.0... very capable
@@TomleyRC amazing thank you for reply i ordered one last night cant wait to get it on a little course
Great video. Question can the ESC use a 2s 7.4 v battery that the FMS crawlers use?
Yes, they should be fine with them batteries.
@@TomleyRC okay thank you
I wouldn't say the best, by no means. I had a recent run in with this little rig. Fun to mess around with, and for 100ish bucks. I would say it's hard to beat. I do like the fact this is a forward mounted motor setup with divorced transfer case. Not that different than a true to life 4x4. I would say it has some weak areas when modding it. If you tie it to the ground, bigger tire, wheel weights, solder in the wheels and run a 2s battery. Good luck finding a drive shaft that will stay in it. With a 1s battery with added weight, I havent seen it actually break anything. So more power more breakages. I have the enduro 24, essentially the same as this. I absolutely love it, and not trashing on the adventurer or the enduro, but there are some obvious upgrades that are needed for these setups that would make them worth more in my eyes. Again, for a hobby grade running around the 100 dollar range. Truly is hard to beat.
Agree... although when I made this video there wasn’t much about that would beat this, I think the SCX24 had only just been released
@@TomleyRC And that is where I didn't pay attention. Even though the SCX24 is out now, and I do believe is better. I'd still say the adventurer or the enduro are better for someone that likes to tinker. I just hope the after market takes over here before long. I liked the review. Keep putting them out.
Good review! Were the lights on the new one supposed to only come on while steering and giving throttle?
Cheers Charlie, yeah, looks like they have changed how the lights work. Not sure there is a way to make them stay on.
Tomley RC Garage It could be the new esc?
I like the Axial but the tires looks so dispoportionally huge compared to the scale
Yeah, I think i'll get the deadbolt one as it doesn't look as 'off scale'
I notice the lights vary with the throttle on this version. Still like my RGT Defender V1 with the Axial SCX24 esc/radio combo and a MG90S servo with a 2s battery better.
Yeah, not a fan of the lights only coming on with throttle. Your V1 sounds good!
The k989 esc/esc combo are in my barrage. 2s huge power. Have you gotten a smaller pinion?
@@OswaldBeef - No I'm still running the stock one. I like that it's faster and don't do as much crawling with it. It will pull wheelies as it is. 2s really peps it up. I have an RGT Adventurer that I might set up more for crawling but I like that this one is faster for a little variety. Plus I have a modded SCX24 with four wheel steer and a few other mods for crawling. Have you changed your pinion?
Nice Review Sir,
I think I would prefer the AWS Ibex mini myself as i don't think it would take much to make a fairly convincing looking Monster Jam machine since it has mostly metal part's...just need to figure out how to give it more pepp...if you catch my drift ;p
I have one on the way to give a go against this
Whats the outer diameter tires for the rgt 1/24?
Where'd you get the red one? The Banggood listing you linked to said "dark grey". Is there a way to change the color that I missed?
You should be able to choose grey or red... it's under the price
@@TomleyRC thanks I'ma start saving money I NEED to get this it looks SOOOOO scale. 🤤🤤🤤
I found the red one on Amazon.
If you move, the battery to the front on the older version will do a difference?
It will help yes
@@TomleyRC You should do a video of what it takes to make it as good as the v version
The gearing is the biggest change compared to the first rgt, well done! Thx for info bud!
Thanks for watching :)
i have a touring car, which i do rally with, and at some day i would like to build a tt-02 rally car, but because of quarantine i think 1/24 rock crawler would be awesome, so which would be better? ftx 2.0 or 3.0? i read that 2.0 had waterproof electronics (including servo) but im not sure about the servo on 3.0 (esc/receiver are waterproof on both)
also i havent had any lipo batteries ever, so how dangerous is 1s? 1 cell propably could be charged with a phone charger, or on a usb port
I'd get the 3.0, it's much better with the motor up front. The little 1s is fine with the supplied USB charger 👍
Tomley RC allright, thanks for the info 👍
Hi, so would the 2.0 spare parts work on the 3.0? they are basically the same car
They should do. This V2 is the same as the FTX V3
Is the rgt v2.0 the same as ftx v3.0? Awesome looking crawler, definitely going to get me one of these.
Jim 1969 Yes mate, same thing 👍🏻
Hello .... I am undecided whether to buy rgt v2 or hobby plus cr-24 ..... Which do you recommend? As an aesthetic I prefer rgt but it seems that the c-24 is better off-road ?! Thank you
Marco, I'm hoping to get a video of them side by side soon. But I think the V2 is better, but with better body that has a lower CofG. I tried the CR-24 Body on it, and it was very good. But the CR24 is also good, however, the steering needs upgrading as it is lacking in power. You can get an upgrade kit for the CR24, that makes it better than the RGT V2...but it's an extra $25-$30 dollars
@@TomleyRC Thanks you have been very clear ..... So from the original better rgt, with better upgrade c-24 ..... Here in Italy the upgrade costs 35 €, very expensive for such a cheap car 😁
@@marcocapa540 No problem. If I had to choose. between the two, I'd buy the RGT V2.
I wonder how this compares to the Orlandoo Jeep 1/32 scale
I have tje Orlandoo F350, and this is better in my opinion. The Orlandoo;s are good. But not for this sought of crawling
RGT is a great vehicle, but back heavy and tips backwards. Solution: unscrew and clip off cage, leaving side view mirrors, take spare off back and mount on hood. Works way better now.
What's better, this or the FTX Outback Mini 2.0? I'm looking to buy my first RC and not sure what to get!
The FTX Mini 3.0 is the same as this.
@@TomleyRC so does that mean that any upgrades/shell for the 2.0 will fit on this, the 3.0?
How long does the battery last on these?
I've not timed it.... but then again, I've never run it long enough to run it down. So it's pretty long!
Great
Can you help me find a transmitter for rgt adventurer?
Love your vids! Do you know if they made these same changes to the 1/10 scale versions?
Yes, the new 1/10 RGT’s have the motor up front. Hopefully have one on the way
Does it use worm gears in the axles?
I believe it's normal gears on this one
I'm kinda new to this. is the RGT 2 the same as the Outback 3?
Yes 👍
@@TomleyRC Thanks. I've had HPI and Tamiya RC cars in the past, I like the slow and steady concept of these crawlers and this looks like a good starting point. Can this model be modded and upgraded?
These little ones are not as easy to mod/upgrade... but you certainly can
@@TomleyRC Thanks. My local model shop that I thought had disappeared, has them in stock. Might have to take the plunge. Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions.
Hi,
I always watch your videos
Is this red model Waterproof?
Thank you very much
Thanks dude. Yes, it's waterproof
There are 2 mini rc crawler in my mind, this RGT and the HBX devastator. Still in doubt though. Please help me.
RGT is a better ‘scale’ rig, HBX is a little more capable, but even better with decent tyres
What's that blue ARRMA in the background?
Limitless 😎👌
@@TomleyRC thanks I should know my cars better lol
Great vid. Why do you think it is better than the cr-24?
I think it has more potential with the motor/transfer case set up. But.... the CR-24 is really good also
@@TomleyRC Thanks for the reply. I've been having difficulty deciding which one to buy, this or the CR-24. I think you have made my mind up. On a superficial note I also prefer the looks of the RGT.
Did you have a chance to compare it with scx24?
Not yet, still building a mini crawler course to test them all on.
How long does the battery last of the red defender?
Over 30mins
@@TomleyRC thanks
Which one is better ,tetra or rgt??thank you so much
Tetra 👍
@@TomleyRC^^appreciated
Is it fully water proofed???
Not sure as I've not tried, but they usually are ok in a bit of water.
Does it have a metal chasis?
Yes
Wow what is that noise?? Do they all make that noise?
Yes, the gearbox set up with the transfer case is a little noisy
คันเล็ก เสปคเทพ💗👍👍
Time to make it brushless now!!! Lol
You should check out panda hobby tetra x1 1/18.
Any ideas to how to make it brushless
__{.-.}__ Hi yes!
__{.-.}__ Hi and you also might need to drill the holes on the pinion to make it fit on the motor and probably needs to make the motor mounts little bigger.
Saitama 1 have you done it
Is it waterproof? Or not
Yes, although nothing is completely waterproof.
I just want the body to mount to my SCX24.
Ok very cool much better then the original. Great video as always! 👍
Your title is wrong these are not the best micro crawler the scx24 is hands down! 😄
Front mounted motor is cool but cog is no better then a scx24 with a esc battery swap!
I can see that's got the worst micro diff ring and pinoin meaning is not geared very low. Can tell up the hill it's lacking the torque still for low speed control while crawling! the axle clearance is horrible! If they put some worm gear axles on it then it might be worth picking up!
Pick up a name brand scx24 and you will see what I mean. 😊
Yeah, you are right dude. When I started reviewing theses, the SCX24 wasn't about. Title changed...don't want to be accused of click bait haha. Cheers for watching
@@TomleyRC oh I know I watched your first review of the original version! Almost bought 1 then see the scx24 was just anouced so I pre ordered it instead! Tittle wasn't click bait original was the best I'm sure compared to the crappy ecx barrage micro!
I'd love to see this new version with some scx24 axle there not to bad $25 apiece for complete scx24 axles. 😊
I have a mod planned for my scx24 if it works I would.have a more forward mounted motor to. 😉
Been watching your channel since before mine started to pick up. I just don't comment a ton 😅
Oh..I'll look at the SCX24 bits, i may even get one and do a comparison. I watch loads of videos, but hardly comment as well, so i'm all good with that haha
@@TomleyRC oh for sure I'm sure you would get tons of views with a hybrid of this new rig and a scx24!
I'm always broke so kinda hard to get new rigs all the time or I'd get 1 of these to try myself!
They are upgrades to this RTG V2 1/24 crawler? dont see anything...
Not seen any. But the chassis is the same as the FTX Outback mini
@@TomleyRC ouueehh yeah, thnx. And aluminum wheels? We can use the same that the FTX Outback mini?
You’re paper slope test was a a little mean , too slippery, but I enjoyed 👍🏻
It is a little slippery, but it made it up with the same tyres that the V1 has ;)
This is identical to the team associated element cenduro but cheaper.
That’s what the Element is based on
Mini trx4!
Yes...although avoided that in the title. Don't want Traxxas coming for me again 😂
@@TomleyRC Haha, poor rcsailors
For anybody that wants to know. You can convert a 3 wire servo into a 5 wire servo very easily by simply removing the circuit board. You can convert a 5 wire servo to a 3 wire servo by adding a servo circuit board.
On another note. That motor is incredibly obnoxious
I have to wait a month and a half cuz I’m in the states
Hey i thought u said a couple weeks ago u were going to b doing a giveaway
I've given away 3 RC Cars/Trucks in the last month or so.... how many more do you want lol
@@TomleyRC i didnt know my apologize lol my wife is in the hospital again so its been crazy getting on here
I don’t understand what’s so hard about giving these little trucks more torque. I have an scx 24 Jeep it’s got more torque than the truck in this video but still it stalls. Why can’t the factory learn and understand we want torque so it wont stall. I can hear how it’s straining to get over obstacles the scx24 does that too but not as much.
I guess it's restricted due to motor size. I see people gear them down to get a bit better performance
an obligatory like for the break.
👍👍👍
Love the vid was fun
Thank you
There’s a 1/10 scale of that rc
Link?
I don't know what country you are in so I won't put a link but the name is the FTX Outback 2 or go on banggood and type in rgt
What's that noise
I think it's just the power going to the motor + a bit of noise from the transfer case.
