  • We had a look at it on the table and it looked very pretty.
    We had a look at it on the trail and it looked very pretty but slightly disappointing.
    But what will it be like on the rocks?
    I got the rocks back out onto the lawn and set the Intruder to the task. I wasn't expecting it to do very well after the trail run but I still hoped that it might surprise me... let's see!
    Next might be a couple of upgrades and no doubt some pretty landscape or harrowing trails. So keep tuned to RC Pie and subscribe if you haven't. It costs you nothing but makes a huge difference to me. Thanks for considering it.
    Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think of the truck and the video. I'll always try to reply.
    Thanks for watching!

    It's doing better than I expected on the rocks in stock form Mike 👍
    I watched RC TNT test of the new Vanquish H10 buggy thing the other night. It was hopeless on his 6 problem rock course. This Intruder would run rings around it.

    • @rcpie
      @rcpie  Před 2 měsíci

      It was quite a surprise just how badly that thing did. It looked like it should be quite capable if a bit of a strange and pointless design mix. Those axles though! 🤤

    Surprisingly, good performance out of the box. I am still hesitant to get one since I already have the upgraded Pro Runner. From where i come from, it is the same price as the Pro Runner but with less features. Btw, nice review.

      It was very surprising and I suspect that with a little bit of work it could perform a lot better. Watch this space..

    I take back what I said about RC TNT. I didn't realise he'd tested the Intruder. Absolutely hopeless on his 6 problems lol.
    But I stand by what I ( and he ) said about the Vanquish 😂

    • @rcpie
      @rcpie  Před měsícem +1

      You can't use this body without either bumper as both front and rear of the bodyshell attach directly to the bumpers.

      @rcpie  Před měsícem

      Yes, in theory, you could add bodyposts or another mounting system to the chassis and then modify the bodyshell to work with the new system. But I think the body would look a bit odd, to say the least. It'd be like a face without a lower jaw.

    Looks a fun rig!!.
    Question did you ever compare the tracker to the trx4?

    • @rcpie
      @rcpie  Před 2 měsíci +3

      Yeah, it seems quite fun. We'll see how serious it can be.
      I've driven the Tracker with loads of TRX4s and it compares very well. Better at some things, worse at others but always close. The only thing that's significant is the approach and departure angles being worse. I'd have a Tracker, though.

    • @Anglian-Rc
      @Anglian-Rc Před 2 měsíci +1

      @rcpie Good to know thank you. I love the look of both I do love a defender but toyota is a very close second 😆

    • @psjoinery6
      @psjoinery6 Před 2 měsíci +2

      I drove my Tracker when new and stock, against a TRX4 in classic Bronco body. They're so similar in build but on the day, I think my Tracker came out on top, especially when climbing a steep slope with unlocked diffs. Ok, tyre choice comes into it. But the TRX4 owner had a close look at both side by side and said he was impressed with the build quality.
      For the price, it's unbeatable IMO. I have only broken a front prop shaft, but I have driven it hard with minimal cleaning and maintenance. The few upgrades I've done have made it even better. I love it.

      @rcpie  Před 2 měsíci +2

      @anglian-rc There are brass diff and portal covers available. They're not needed until you put a loaf of scale stuff on the roof and then they're a godsend!
      Honestly, nothing else really needs upgrading but a better ESC is always a good start.
