Since our initial run with the TOYATO (Not what you thought it said) 4 Wheel Drive RC Truck, we've learned a few things and in most cases it's because of our awesome viewers! We wanted to pass that knowledge on to you guys and show you this truck running again in a slightly different style. Since Abby is now only 4 weeks away from her scheduled due date, we didn't want to hike around a lake and be five miles away from our car, so we did some local "trailing" at the park. Hope you guys enjoy this video! We had a lot of fun getting out and making it :-)

I love how you guys call out and address keyboard warriors. No need to try to make everyone happy. I'm sure a lot of us, majority of us enjoy your videos, your content.
Learning how to make something better, and the folks you meet along your journey are what make this hobby wonderful.
Hey guys, I'm 55rs but I just want have fun like both of you. There are a lot of people who are very hard-core RC folks, thus I tell them when I meet them that I'm not hard-core, that way they keep their $400 tips and their crumpy attitudes to themselves...LOL. Great advise show!
Don’t ever second guess yourself. There are people out there that are miserable, and will always try to tear you down. Keep your chin up and continue having fun, because we have fun watching you! Thanks for all the videos!
You guys are doing awesome. No one knows everything. There will always be something new to learn in every situation. You give great honest reviews and have fun which is what hobbies are mean to be. Keep up the great work.
You guys are the coolest and the funnest to watch because you guys are just being yourself. Thank you
No matter how boring the toys/Hobby grade stuff is you guys always make it worth learning something new and for that alone I thank you. Alot of other reasons I thank NATE&ABBY mostly for flying lol..I'm more of a drone guy but trucks are great for bad windy weather here in Memphis
Good morning RcSaylors & the RC family! I found this update review to be personally honest from both, Nate's & Abby's different perspectives. It's really, what set's this channel apart from most RC channels & we as hobbyists, should recognize their uniquely honest reviewing & yes, even mistakes that they and the rest of us, all make & learn from! That said, unless, of course, you think that only your opinion matters, and feel compelled to leave a nasty & unwanted comment - & you know who you are! (Just a hint to you nasties, out there, I think most of the followers of this channel, really don't read your comments, unless you change your style, to positive critism, it's going to simply be a waste of your time, especially if you get blocked!) Sooo, I'm calling for civil, family-friendly comments, that all hobbyists can safely read, learn from, & be suitable for young & old, alike. I don't think it's too much to ask for...Have a great day! JP
Well said John Poen, I totally agree with you and I would say everyone else who come to this channel for some good old fashioned family friendly content..Yep you will always get those nasties, but some people are like that. The RC Family that is here is all that matters and those whom want to join in later on are welcome..The nasties will come and go..
hahahahahah, a cup of coffee and Nate's rant....what a way to start the day......as for those folks who just have to make negative comments, don't worry about it. Myself..i am a noob to the rc world and and decided to buy a kit and build it myself and am learning and enjoying every minute of it. Nate and Abby keep doing these great videos.
You two keep doing what you're doing. Nate' s enthusiasm cracks me up! I think it's a cool truck, it needs a little help, but they all need something, right? I think they are made to be played with. I like to tinker with them anyways. People give me a hard time for piecing together an old nitro rustler into an electric buggy with an automobile air compressor motor, homemade Lipo batteries and bits. My MN D90 stays tore down, from either me or one of my sons, found the next weakest part! People need to relax and remember what it's all about. Sure, I would like to have a gen 8 or senton, or alot of others, as far as that goes. I just work with what I got. You guys rock! I've rambled on too long! Great job demonstrating differential action!
You guys are just awesome and make rc's fun. I just picked this truck up myself for under $200 on sale at banggood. I always wanted an official bruiser but never liked the price. So it was either $1,000 for an official bruiser kit OR less then $200 for a rtr bruiser replica and have money left over to feed my family. I think I made the rite move,lol. Keep up the great work guys and continue having fun and being yourselves 😎👍
Don’t let the Groucho’s beat you down. You’re videos are awesome and you guys are awesome 👏🏼.
Totally agree! Thanks for your great comment! JP
Dont let the people that "cry out loud" with 29 subscribers tell you how to do things. I think that you have a few more subscribers than him. Lol.
Don't worry. Hardcore rc ground vehicle and truck guy here and I still love you guys and the channel.
We understand you guy's aren't technical in your videos just to ease your fear you didn't break your truck the pins are for locking your diffs for crawling ya did good Nate 👍the way it came rtr was open diff like an axial smt 10 monster truck platform, enough techy stuff you guy's are keeping rc fun and my wife and I love you guy's 👍😎
Don’t accomodate for the haters mate. You make fantastic buy and drive videos. There are plenty of comparison videos of this car. This truck is a clone what people should want to know is how it drives and see in your videos what it looks like driving and how it feels driving... precisely what you do in your videos. Keep up the great content and stay true to what you do so you don’t end up like the sheep following other people’s content. Your videos are good for a reason.
The people with the rude and bad comments ,have to justify spending the $ 1,000 bucks. I have watched your videos for both , the fun and honesty. Keep it up. it's what makes your channel different.
Being an "old school Tamiya fan", I can tell you guys that no matter what, you are awesome PLAYING AND HAVING FUN, more rare, as a couple! Your playing gives perspective to TOYS, as you always say. Keep the good work. Cheers from Chile!
That means a lot to us Ian, thank you :-) Have a great day my friend!
Don't worry about the haters. They are just angry at the world and try to make other people miserable too. Most people love watching your videos because you two are happy and have fun while showing a review. Don't let the grouchy people pull you down!!! My wife,kids and I love watching from upstate NY!!
Thank you very much for the positive words my friend, and for tuning in with the whole family :-) Stay warm you guys!
If your havin fun and not hurting anybody then dont worry bout what dumb peeps say. Obviously thier hobby is trying to hurt good people with thier words. Everybody loves you guys (219,000 of us) I like that truck. Reminds me of 1988, my Bigfoot from RadioShack. It had Hi n Lo gears n would climb straight up a wall if it didnt loose traction
Yes, you did taught someone. I ordered this truck a couple of days ago and was really curious about the differential. some sites say this one was lockable. Now I know it for sure! Thank you!
We ♥️you RC Saylors. Please don’t change a thing.
Fun is what’s it all about and you guys make the best vids.
Keep doing what your doing with your reviews. You both are very honest. I don't like the people who get very picky about certain things on an rc vehicle. Excellent video Nate & Abby!!
A quarter of a million followers, you must be doing something right.
Ignore the haters, and just keep doing you. Love the videos keep up the good work.
You all do FINE I will point out errors as I see... I may sound grouchy I am so not meaning to. My nature? you guys are the BEST even though we nay not agree. That is a Bonus to the Hobby does not weigh on me either way cause in 6 months I could have your opinion on a product and you could have mine. I always learn from you all again just a bonus
I've been wondering about this unit, 1st video i've seen on it, which gave a better perspective of its capibilaties then i had.
Thicker grease in fromt axle may help w/o giving up steerability (still needs servo). P.S. keep up the good work, always enjoy your work.... Thx...
🙄 for crying out loud, you guys aren't doing custom builds, you are giving opinions on rc vehicles and the like....you don't have to get all kinds of technical about it....your basic overviews are informative and give people an overall idea about it....geez people, ease up a bit
And they're always honest about faults and the like as well. You can't really go wrong is you want a good out-of-the-box review than this channel, IMO.
More people like your videos than not. Don't let the few GROUCHY idiots get you down. Learn to ignore those few and don't let it get to you.
Thank you Papo! Yeah, It's rare that those guys get to me, but they definitely did on this one. Maybe I just had a bad day. Thank you though, your words definitely help. Have a great day!
This video had a different tone to it from your other videos and it’s sad that there are keyboard warriors out there and it’s sad to see you guys bothered by them. You guys are super nice people and please don’t let people like that get you down. I had a troll on one of my videos and it’s totally irritating and then the guy when he’s done trolling deleted his own comments because he knew he was so rude. There was another guy, JANG, that left the RC world of videos due to trolls. Please don’t let this happen to you guys. You offer fun, honest reviews and helped me decide to get a Wheely King and I’ve looked at a bunch of your other videos for opinions.
Don’t let them get you down! You guys are GREAT!!!
Locking the rear differential definitely improved the performance of this truck. It would be interesting to see if locking the front improves it further. An advantage of a (relatively) inexpensive truck like this, that is mostly good but has room for improvements, is the learning experience of doing the upgrades; for example, you mentioned the tires and steering servo. That could be fun and educational vs. a truck that already is maxed out with everything perfect.
Nate and Abby, I enjoy your vids. Love the car and cars, cheap or expensive. It's about the fun. Yes I am technical and still get things wrong so who cares if we not on point all the time. Everyone has an opinion and you know the saying about opinions, but I see no need to be a hater. Keep up the good work and keep enjoying the hobby. Good work!
I couldn't do what you all do. Most of us can't. If was easy, everyone would consistently produce fun, exciting videos about our RC Passions. HATERS, GET A LIFE!! Tamiya had a similar system for locking the diffs. The pin should fall out when you want it to...Thank you for another great video. I am considering purchasing the Tamiya knockoff, so it was perfect for me.
Dangd ole Groucho's!! Someone is always got to be right or better!! I'm with you! Let's just have fun
Everyone has different ideas about what's right, what's wrong etc., etc.. The point is, it's RC and you're right it's fun. It's fun because you're doing what you want and how you want. If there are better ways, better options, that's fine, but it doesn't mean you're wrong 🙂🙂🙂 it's good for people to provide ideas and info but not to mock or criticise 🙂🙂🙂
Your doing really good you guys. I still watch u guys the most out of all. Keep up the great work
Thanks a lot Jj, that means a lot :-)
Spinning the tire and the other tire spins backwards is exactly how they would check to make sure we had an open or limited slip rear end in our full size racecar. Having a locked rear end on a real racecar isn't really an advantage for most since most people can't drive a locked rear end anyway without constantly spinning out. If you've ever drive a real hotrod with a locked rear end you would know how difficult it is, hit the accelerator too hard and next thing you know you're spun around facing the wrong direction. Our driver could drive a locked rear end though so we would "shim" the axles with brass washers; it would pass inspection but when it heated up the washers expended and it would effectively lock the rear end. -- You won't find locked front ends on any full size car except for "dedicated" off-road vehicles. On pavement locked axles really wear the tires out and it's very difficult to get it to turn. -- I think this is an awesome truck for the price; metal leaf springs, hard shell body, 3 speed transmission, semi full interior (would be nice if it was full depth so you could put action figures in as driver without having to cut off their legs.) And as I stated on a previous video, to me half the fun is working on the truck to get it to perform better. It's no fun if you just pull it out of the box and there's really nothing you can do to improve it. -- I'm really impressed with the stability of this truck, it's able to go side hill without easily rolling, even with the high weight of a hard body on it. Some wheel weights would really help get the center of gravity low, and give it better traction. Can't add too much though or you start wearing out bearings and breaking steering knuckles. -- About all I would do for starters on this truck is replace the servo and linkage. Get some softer tires with some nice meaty tread, and some beadlock wheels. Experiment with adding weight in different locations. And as I always do... grease the axles, bearings, transmission gears, etc., and maybe the spring shakles. Greasing it up not only makes it last longer, it makes it run a lot quieter. The electronics in it "sound" good; I really can't stand high pitch "whining" ESC's, that just drive me nuts.
It would be fun to see a "follow me" video with this truck vs Abby's. Can be difficult to drive and video at the same time though. I usually just set the camera on the ground or on a very low tripod. Drive past the camera then move it to the next location. Wish I lived nearby; I have a wearable 3-axis gimbal I mount in the bed of one of my trucks to get cool video of other vehicle driving past. Difficult to do by myself though since I can't drive two trucks at the same time. So the best I've been able to do is use the throttle trim to make the camera truck crawl, then drive the other vehicle past it. I have a cable cam rig I'll hopefully get by next month that should make it easier to get cool shots like that.. except it too is remote control so it won't be a whole lot different than trying to drive two trucks at the same time.
I have been following your amazing comments, for some time, now. And, this one blew me away! Obviously, your are an extremely important source for your vast experience & knowledge! I hope that you have your own YT channel, for me to check out, next! Thanks, so much! JP
John Poen: Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoy my ramblings :> Unfortunately I don't have any videos on youtube, I deleted them all in 2017 because I got tired of fighting scam music copyright claims. I was getting 2 or 3 copyright claims on every video I uploaded, using 80 and 90 year old Public Domain music, music I had paid for the right to use, and even on MY OWN music I wrote performed and recorded myself. I then moved my videos to my own web site, which turned out to be very expensive to find web hosting that is fast enough to host videos and with enough storage. And even though I am paying for hosting that claims to specialize in video, they complain that I have too many files (not that I'm using too much space, just that I have too many files). And recently they moved to a new supposedly faster server and ever since my site doesn't work at all. So I've been pondering what to do... re-edit my videos to remove all music since youtube allows scam copyright claims. Or try to find new hosting for my own video site in a price range I can afford. I'm not sure there actually is a hosting service that won't whine and complain no matter how you pay them. I've had numerous web sites and domain names, and ran an internet radio station for 30 years (since 1987), and have had to deal with a lot of whining and complaining over the years from hosting services.

@@DFDuck55 Oh, I think I have the picture, now. So, if you aren't being bombarded with nasty comments, like the Salors, are. Or, someone is always looking to discredit you, in some other, neferious way! And all you are doing, is trying to get your content online (somehow, without being pestered or sued!), it looks like, one is trying to navigate through a 'gator invested swamp! Man, this has really opened my eyes to just how terribly challenging, this whole thing can be. I for one, appreciate, very much, your report of your past dealings & circumstances. I wish you luck in finding a solution to your challenges! JP
John Poen: What ticked me off more than scam companies claiming copyright on music and putting ads on my videos which I have never put ads on, is that youtube "allows" and "facilitates" these scam companies. They are always in countries known for scamming, like India. They "may have" at one time included an old Public Domain blues or jazz track on a compilation CD, but that doesn't give them any legal right to claim copyright on it. Having ran an internet radio station for 30 years I am fairly well versed in U.S., Canadian, and European music copyright laws. Studying copyright law is some "very dry" reading :> The real kicker though was the copyright claims on MY music, which I have always released into the Public Domain and have never been copyrighted. And yet they never offered to pay ME royalties for claiming copyright on MY music. Once something is released into the Public Domain you can't then copyright it, ever. -- I have been pondering though about re-producing some of my RC and drone videos "with NO music" and starting a new youtube channel for them. I have never done "review" videos or "unboxing" videos though. My niche was always to try to make "realistic" RC videos where it's difficult to tell it's an RC and not a real truck. And a big reason why I've always been into scale trail and crawling RC's rather than bashing. Besides not wanting to spend $100+ to repair broken trucks every time I take it out for a 15 minute bash session, flying a truck 30 to 100 scale feet in the air just doesn't look realistic to me. Scale realism is something I've been into since I was a kid in the late 1950's. My brother and I were big into building model cars, setting up scenes and photographing them. Though our scenes would often turn into UFO crash sites or a UFO flying in the background... that was just a popular subject back in the late 50's and 60's :>
John Poen: I got my video site issues worked out! Now I can start adding some of my newer videos to it.
quackhousevideo.net/browse/rc-trucks/
What you do is very good and light hearted and that is always best!
Tomato tomatoes lol nice video nice truck love ur videos thank u guys
Great way to encourage new people to watch your channel...... gripe at people the entire show.
Hey guys,You guys have gotta be doing something right, because your subscriber count keeps going up, 151,000 subscribers cant be wrong ;-) Keep up the good work.
I learned years ago if I construct criticism it will sooner or later fall back on me. Just enjoy what you’re doing and have fun. You give enough info for a dummy like me to make an informed decision if to buy or not.
People always gotta carry on lol. Some can never be pleased.. Long as you’re learning and enjoying the hobby! P.s I like Abby’s truck ;)
I've always wanted a Tamiya bruiser because of the "cool" factor but the price has been what kept me from getting one. I spent my mad money on another " wish list" truck just before this came out , so I hope I can get one while they're still available!
You guys are awesome :)
I learned the locked differential hack with my first tamiya cc01, I locked the back axle with the included locker, and left the front open. Well, I have a steep section on my crawler course at the cottage, and was having trouble climbing. After I locked the front too, it climbed right up no problem!
Also, most RTR servos and tires are usually weak points.
Takes about 3 videos to understand what your channel is about. Just keep doing your thing. Haters gonna hate lol.
Haters gonna hate Nate. Buck em' off. You guys are a riot.
Keep the Great Content coming Saylors! Congratulations on BabySaylor too! You 2 are Awesome People and will be Great Parents!!
Also I love all forms of RC. I started with quads then planes, helis, surface, and then boats. Planes draw people that are super generous and supportive, surface draws people that will threaten to cut you if you like electric and they like nitro. Not everyone of course I've met tons of good people in surface but plenty of bad. I've never however met anyone who wanted to argue about planes. No need to send hate comments my way, it's just my experience. Im happy to fly or bash with anyone. Electric, nitro, or gas. It's all about fun and getting the toys daddy wouldn't buy. At least that's it for me
I think this is a very good deal and a great truck,if you watch youtube there is so many aftermarket parts for this its crazy.you can turn this into pretty much anything you want.
I dont know how old the truck goes back but.... My friend was running a Tamiya Bruiser in 1988. I had a Tamiya Frog, haha I feel so old!
Hi Nath I watched your review on the p407 and you said that you'd had 20mins out of the stock battery. I also have a p407 and love it so much. I've sorted the steering servo, changed the shocks as the stock ones leak, re-timed the motor, changed the ESC for a waterproof one with a drag brake. Put a lighting kit and sound system in it. I've also repainted it red and striped it in yellow and black. I've also taken off the chrome cab and built a full back with opening boot lid so I can put my zop 11.1 volt 8000mah 2cell lipo with deans plug in there. I've scaled up the interior with a driver, CB radio, a dog, full colour change and opening windows plus moving steering wheel. I'm just on with changing the bumpers and adding a remote winch. Also I'm waiting on some decals for it of tigers heads to put on the bonnet. I'm waiting on a roof rack and an assortment of boxes and tanks plus elastic netting to keep it all in place plus a scale aerial, a led light bar and a boat trailer and tow bar for to tow my RC boat down to the lake and drive it into the water so as to launch my speed boat from it. Which is also another one of the boats that you reviewed. The wltoys T01
With 3 spare batteries. This boat absolutely flies, as I put 7.4 volt 2cell lipo with 2500 may through it. The car is excellent and once the boat is on the water, it flies. The car and trailer once the boat has come away. Looks as to scale as you can get and looks really fantastic. I'll, send you a video of it when it's all done and working properly. Best regards Rob Sanderson from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England.
Nate, I'm with you bud.. Love the Toyato granted it needs work but to me wrenching on them is half the fun. Besides we all got into this hobby to do just that have fun!! So just keep doing what you do enjoy the truck and learn new stuff along the way..I even got high-end older cars and run them just for the fun of it :) Also congrats to you and Abby on the soon to be little sailor and hope Popeye is doing good :)
Nice TOMATO !! I mean TOYOTA !! It's a good little truck !! Toyota !! TRD !! TUFF !!
Jesse Bellis that trd thing didn’t translate well. Makes me think turd.
Don't worry Abby you can always hook your truck to nates and pull him up the hill. Lol. FYI Nate. If they meant for you to paint the. They would come clear because the paint is shot on the inside. Nice trucks guys now let's do a few planes before the weather is bad. Also haven't seen the saylors vlog in awhile. Wife is asking. Watches every one with me. God bless
If you enjoy it who cares what others think. I bought one of these and have enjoyed building it enough to make me desire another
Thanks again for this and the previous video about this truck. I finally took delivery of mine and it's a big nostalgia trip back to the 80ies. Already planning a heap of mods. 😃 Thank you for the honest content, keep it up!
You are very welcome, and I'm glad to hear you have gotten it and are already enjoying upgrades to come. Have a great day Mikko!
I agree : No need to be mean you learn more when things are kindly explained anyway
At the end of the day, you can't please everyone, so don't go out of your way to do so, trust me its a waste of time. Just do what you do and keep having fun.
I would like to have either one of those trucks , hey have learned a lot from watching y’all,some people I think they know it all don’t worry about what they say just have fun with the hobby that’s what it is all about, thank you guys for getting me into the hobby it’s a lot of fun great job guys have a good one 👍👍
Definitely a cool score guys. Doesn't look to be much difference at all. If you can get the same experience. And cheaper price. WIN WIN! Nice review an Run guys. Sorry I've been gone so long!👊
Lol looks like a Wal-Mart special for black Friday 😂😂😂😂
Hey Saylors, Have the fun of this hobby is upgrading and some tires and locking the front diff should make this one great crawler. I like it.
Life is always about learning
Last truck I had was Big Brute. Who remembers that gem!
It looks like the tamiya bruiser big time, a lot cheaper n rtr, I think the tamiya kit is awesome cus u get to build it but for $800 I think I’d rather just take this apart n put it together for the experience 😆
This truck is also available in kit...
I've been looking more into kits lately than RTR. By putting it together yourself you're already familiar with how it all goes together (and comes apart) rather than having to figure it all out after you've broken something. -- Earlier today I was eyeballing the new (yet to be released) Axial SCX10 II "builder's kit". You get everything for a "rolling chassis", then add your own wheels, tires, body, electronics. It just kind of makes sense, most RTR rigs come with inferior electronics and steering servo that you end up replacing with what you wanted in the first place. You usually end up buying different wheels and tires, and often a different body. So why not just start out with a rolling chassis and add the stuff you want in the first place.
Love the channel and I always love the ground vehicles. I don’t care what you spend and what is a knockoff I enjoy the content. If we learn something in the process and it’s fun that’s a bonus . Nate, lets do some budget upgrades to the black truck that would be fun to watch.
Fantastic idea for an upgrade video on this truck that Nate, really seems to love! I am all for it! (See Duck Landes comment on his recommended tweaks & upgrades - lots of great info.!) JP
Don't worry about idiots never going to make everybody happy , I like your channel just subscribe week ago. I like the what I call normal fun approach that's were me and my girlfriend are at . 😁
"The mean people from the internet may have made me break my truck!" I laughed so hard 😄...Nate your frustration resonates with me on many levels. Keep up the amazing work!!
Ill tell ya like you I really like the look of the 80s Hilux pickups and have a few RCs of them. I have seen this one on line as well as the brand name version but never considered investing in one because of the cost. Because of your videos on this one you have me seriously consider buying one. Its awesome the way you shown what you get and how it drives. I know what this truck is all about. Its for a different buyer who wants what this truck is about and it fits the bill perfectly. Keep up the great videos!
Always thumbs up for your excellent vids!
You have to lock both differentials to see the most Benefit! The truck is virtually a Bruiser 2012 re release Clone except that the Transmission appears to use sintered gears instead of Machine cut Brass and its possible to break teeth of the tranny gears especially 2nd gear of the upper gears and this is after some serious abuse from backing up and doing repeated hard wheelstands ,there is a replacement part though! There is a Tamiya hop up up Slipper Clutch made for the bruiser that should just drop in and stop sudden gear shock damage which came with the original bruiser even though it was not made the same as there is a planetary gear reduction up front and a smaller main gear and a 540 motor with magnetic ring now instead of the huge 750sh that came with the original bruiser! There is a aftermarket Ball Bearing Aluminum front steering Bracket on ebay and putting a stronger Metal Gear Steering with no Servo Saver or putting a temporary zip tie around the steering servo saver to keep it from spreading so easy under force,this was a trouble point on the original Bruiser also! Chassis Flex and Tires also limit this truck alot from its full potential but after all it was designed in the Mid 80s and the updated tyranny and differentials are a big positive!
I don't comment often but that's a nice truck ,,, been a fan of the Toyota helix ,, this may be a Christmas gift to myself ! ,,, awesome channel ! love what you do you the hobby ! cheers!
Three cheers for that Yaeto
The Tamiya version was 5x more expensive and you had to assemble everything yourself. Was my dream rc truck as a kid, but couldn't ever afford it,. After watching this I want this.
Don’t worry what ppl say on here. The CZcams community can be harsh. I get it all the time on my channel. It’s just insecure ppl sitting on their couch flinging insults like juveniles at the school yard. I try to be nice to everyone. Nice truck btw
You guys are awesome. I love your reviews. I like that they are in terms that I understand being new to RC. I have bought 3 cars and 3 drones from your reviews. Keep having fun. Don’t worry about the negative nancy’s or their opinion.
dudes the internet is full of green eyed keyboard warriors just keep doing what you do its awesome n so are you guys
Nate, please stop feeding the trolls. It will give you gray hair, and a trolls appetite is never satisfied. You all make wonderful “family friendly” RC videos. Keep up the good work. 😄👍
You are absolutely right. Thanks for that my friend :-)
I love your shows/videos different tires and softer compound of tire will be a major improvement that you will see and feel and make sure you do lock out the front axle also love your videos
haha, its too bad you didnt break the big pumpkin. itd be the perfect time of year to get another, lol :) Being new to wheeled RC, i did learn something. Thx Nate!!
Hey guys, don't let the trolls get to you, you make great videos. if you want more technical terms for things, I am a mechanic so I might be able to help. P.s. putting the pin in the pumpkin (technical term) all you are doing is stopping the gears in there from turning. I should still run fin for a while. Keep up the great work.
I think a rubberband battery hold is fine. Airplane wings are held on that way and they work fine too.
You should try out the ecx temper 2. Not a bad crawler. Thanks guys
New tires, get that other diff locked, cut the foam in the tires, new servo, and maybe attach some stick on wheel weights in a few spots to get the weight and balance a bit better and it should be a darn good truck. It does kinda make the point that you can do all that, and spend about a hundred, or just get one like abby's and be ready to run. All depends how much you enjoy working on them vs just driving.
I like the rubber band because it's like the original. BTW. With the rubber band you can remove the battery without removing the rubber band. Super easy.
You guys should try building a couple of Tamiya kits together. They have lots of cheap kits and it's the best way to learn car mechanics.
love your video, but if your not in the mood for a few months of building and putting the Tamiya truck together, plus paying it's hefty $450+ price tag for the kit that doesn't come with a controller then this is a great vehicle. Plus i'd recommended the Redcat Racing 1/10 Everest-10 Rock Crawler seeing as your into rock crawlers right now. It's right on the $100 price tag on Tower Hobbies website.
the redcat Everest gen7 pro looks great
I like the truck and the veterra is a damn good truck for the money, definitely on par with with an axial. All that matters is you guys have fun and we get to enjoy it with you, *F the jerks that can't keep there opinions, as far hill climbing goes though locking diffs and yes definitely better tires but also how is the weight bias, more weight upfront helps with climbing. Good luck with your truck
Cool rig guys thx for the positive outlook!
If you lock you diffs then don't go on the roads. Locked diffs are only for off road as the gear system has a chance to unwind on bumps and soft ground.
I bought a hgp407 because of your review, i just love it ! And is one of my favorites i did get a white one like abby said ,i am going to paint the interior. I have lots of rc's and by far this one is a blast to drive ! Thank you both ! Dan
I’m here for you to bright my day Nate
Hi Guys, I watch your videos because I like 'em. If people don't like 'em, they should just find something else to watch and not criticize!
U guys do great videos,u show n talk E nuff to help us decide if it's something we would buy ,,much thanks...
Don't lock both axles, you'll make your turning radius bigger 😁🤣 But seriously, glad you brought this back out. The added info is appreciated and it's just plain fun to watch! I'm trying hard to justify getting one....WAIT!!! Winter is coming...I have a bad back...lockable diffs....snow plow!!!!!👍
Perfect justification :-) Yeah I think after everyone's input about leaving the front diffs unlocked I'm going to do just that so it turns better. Thanks Mark! Have fun my friend :-)
Hey, I'm with you guys, regardless of price or whether it is hobby grade or not I refer to them as toys myself, and that always seems to rub some the wrong way as well, lol.
Crazy the way some people take the hobby. Oh well, as long as you are having fun, that's all that matters :-)
Put the old man on em Nate😂😂😂😂😂!! I’ll never forget that !!! You two and soon to be four( I forgot to add Popeye), have always been and will always be favorites.. you and Ryan started me off into this hobby... Videos and content are always fun!!
Oh btw off topic.. I flew the old XIRO!!! Took the camera off, it’s really outdated compared to the other camera quads( drones) I fly ... you guys are awesome!!
Good job on locking the diff. I agree that the price is right for this truck and I have always wanted the Tamiya version but way too much money. The only reason I posted on the other video was too let people know where this trucks heritage lay. Nate what I would love to see is a video of when you lock the front diff and fix the steering servo and linkage. I have found most of your videos insightful, even the ones focused on things I have no interest in. Enough said except keep up the good work and have a great day. Gregg
Is the cap on that clear or crome?
Nate! Buddy! You totally crack me up i.e. "in order to appease the online Groucho's" 😂😂 how dare you infringe upon the "off-road crawler" genre without knowing all the current lingo! 😂 They are a very proud bunch that take their craft extremely seriously, which is their right. However, what makes your channel work is that you explore and introduce different RC genres with baby steps so that a person can learn and grow from it. Nice job, I can see why Abby loves you to death -- you're just too dang funny sometimes! 😎😅 Keep up the great work, Instructor(s)!
Great job on your review video👍.... Nobody wants to hear negative criticism keep up the good work guys😁 I enjoy watching, So No matter if someone get it wrong or right there's always a proper way of letting them know. I was your 500 like😁
stop smiling and haveing fun in your videos it's unacceptable 😝
Hi there it seems a lot better now you locked the diff and yes a new servo will improve it to . I think it will be a capable truck now.
