Looks like a nice capable truck. The more choices available on the market, the better for all of us in the hobby I think. Thanks for another good video.
Totally agree! Thanks for your feedback Michael! 👍😊
I admired tis vehicle and I just had to have one, so after some back and forth I found out that i was the first person in the U.S. to order one from them. I feel so special!
That's great! Have fun! 👍👍😊
Looks solid & well engineered - I'm impressed.
Thanks! Glad you like it! 👍😊
Well, the spam is quite awkward given it is so out of context... :-(
Great mood, great shots. Swiss craftsmanship.
Thank you very much! 🙏👍😊

I need one of these in my life.
FANTASTIC Video, Super Quality, Smooth. Heard of this on another truck review of the Top Ten. I owned RCs for 40 years. I want one of these, Thanks for the Great video. Tom in USA
Thanks for your nice Feedback! Have fun! 👍😊
That's a nice truck. Thanks for the review, Matteo. I kind of wish they had this truck in the U.S. I'd add it to my garage.
Absima works closely together with redcat in Germany. So there is chance redcat offers it in the u.s
I would send them an email or contact them via social media to let them know there is demand.
Thanks for watching Don! 🙏👍😊 Unfortunately Absima has no dealer in US (at the moment)
Turn signals are crazy so thank you for the ‘how to fix’.
Thanks! Happy to help! 👍😊😊
I was very tempted to get an SCX10 III but this seems much better value.
The difference in speed between high and low gear on this is much better than the Axial 2 speed in the SCX10.2
Spare parts are cheap as well. Great video as always .
Thanks for your feedback! 👍😊
I've got the same colour Sherpa, and I love it... I watched several videos, including yours, which help make the decision to get one a while back. What a great RC! So capable in either mode (unlocked and high speed, and trail RC slower mode with lockable diff options), just like my TRX4. I'm getting spoilt for choice now when out for a trail RC walk amongst the other models..
Great to hear! 👍😊
I'm totally digging this stuff! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! 😊
Love the driver fit job 👍I am really considering this as my first crawler
You should... it's a lot of fun! 👍😊
Wow that rig looks awesome thanks for your review vid it is really informative and seeing that rig driving around was really cool 👍👍
Thanks Alex! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍😊😊
Very nice video. So well filmed! Gorgeous cinematic. This vehicle is very nice. Like a Traxxas TRX4 ! Thanks to share your beautiful film.
Thank you very much for your nice feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍😊😊
Thank you for sharing this very informative video! 👍👍
Thank you! So nice of you! 👍😊😊
Auch wenn ich mich wiederhole: Toll gemachtes Review und Video.
Vielen Dank! 🙏 Ich mag deine Widerholungen! 👍😂😂
Wow such an amazing video great 👍 looking rig great captions on this video too
Thank you! 🙏👍😊 Glad you enjoyed it
Sehr gute Vorstellung diese Topp Crawlers finde ich und du hast dir wieder viel Arbeit damit gemacht. Klasse !
Vielen Dank! Freut mich zu hören! 👍😊😊
A good informative review of this rig . And in my mind the very best rig money could buy . So mine arrives sometime next week .Went for the super cool orange one
Great! Orange is a nice color! Have fun! 👍😊
Hi. How have you found the truck since owning, I'm looking into getting one
It looks really nice, great video Matteo as always .
Thanks a lot David! 🙏👍😊
Thanks for the review and video’s. Very usefull. I like the body, so details. A lot of features for a good price.
Thanks for watching! 👍😊😊
Very nice review of this crawler Matteo !
Thanks! 👍
Schönes Auto, toller Look, der würd mir auch gefallen und generell ist das Video sowieso wieder äußerst gelungen, Kompliment
Vielen Dank für dein tolles Lob! 🙏👍😊
Another sweet vid man! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 👍😊😊
Wow. That truck is actually more fully-featured than the TRX-4. I bet Traxxas is not happy about this truck having lockable differentials.
EDIT: The diff locking mechanism is almost identical to the one Traxxas uses. No wonder this truck isn't sold in the USA.
Does Traxxas has a patent on it?
@@Matteomeier: Traxxas patents everything they possibly can, because that is the only way to protect products from bootlegging in the USA, and the RC market isn't profitable enough to withstand widespread bootlegging. Traxxas sued Arrma a few years ago for designing a truck with locking differentials and lay-down shock absorbers, similar to the Traxxas Summit even though the details of the designs were different. That truck (the Arrma Nero) was discontinued shortly after the lawsuit was filed. Traxxas is extremely protective of its business, which is why it has the money to pay for interesting new designs like the Summit and the TRX-4.
@@deusexaethera that certainly would explain why these arent sold in the states. bummer. i'd love to get one of these.
😁👍 Nice job Matteo! it looks sweet I like the rubber boots on the shocks ...I seen these I like the orange version!
Thanks Steve! Glad you like them! 👍😊
Very nice video as always, beautiful scenery
Thank you very much! 🙏😊
This is a cool SUV. Looks great. Great video as always.
Thanks! 🙏 😊
Danke, I just bought the same truck and it is nice crawler .
Danke dich Matteo
Gruss aus der Niederlände, Barry
Danke für dein tolles Feedback Barry! 👍☺️
Got it! Thanks
Great presentation and tips thanks you mat
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏👍😊
A very nice review and superb drive, i like the blues guitar tracks added, i did pre order this truck but pulled out as i wanted to see what the verdict is for it, maybe later, Matteo, keep up the great work and please do a video showing how you make the films of the cars out on the trails
Thanks so much Julian! 👍😊
Great video I’m getting this truck soon looks great!
Good choice! Have fun! 👍👍
Bel video Matteo, ottima recensione.
Grazie! 👍☺️
Sehr guter Bericht über dieses RC-Car, da kann auch ein Anfänger was mit Anfangen. So würde ich mir das von manchem Hersteller wünschen, die aber meistens ihre Autos nur Kommentarlos über irgendwelche Steinchen klettern lassen.
Weiter so, sowas ist für mich Informativer als alles andere!
Vielen Dank Jürgen für dein grosses Lob! Das freut mich sehr! 👍😊😊
It is beautiful machine hope to see it in Canada soon.stay safe my friend.
Thanks, you too! 👍😊😊
Very nice the video my friend i love what i see here now thank you for sharing it with us 👊😉👍 i like it
Thanks for the visit! 🙏😊
@@Matteomeier No problem my friend with pleasure i like your video's 👊😉👍
The Absima makes a very good impression and looks like the SCX-10-3. great video about the car :)
What's the price?
@@thomasgross8289 by Absima 419,11 €
@@WorldControlRC thank you for the information
Thanks a lot! 🙏👍😊
That is one nicely put together Jeep! Portal axles, differentials...the whole deal. On a side note, that transmitter is a Dumbo RC/Surpass Hobby/etc... Not that it's a bad thing! I have two 6 channel Surpass radio receiver combos I use on my trucks and they're quite good...even in our bitter cold winter. You can also reassign the channels. I use Ch. 3 to switch the lights, Ch 5 for the 2 speed transmission and am keeping Ch 4 (the three way slide switch) for when I install the winch. So, I still haven't figured out who makes the chassis yet (everybody makes it for somebody else..hehehe), but the radios are top notch. 😊
As always, beautiful footage, and nice mods. 👍🏻
Thanks for your good feedback! 🙏👍😊
@@Matteomeier , anytime, sir. Your content is very good. Oh, and the truck in other parts of the world is a YK4102. I knew I'd seen it! Unfortunately not here...in Canada we're pretty limited to product...we can't get the Absima, YK, or much else (other than Traxxas, blah, blah...same old, same old). hahahahaha. Oh well, WPL rocks (even if they're little)! :)
Great video mate. 👍👍
Thank you! 🙏🙏😊
pinkze he say to Matteo " Sherpa surpasses Scx10- 3 ? Surely so, superbly shot scale superiority shows me this ! "
Thank you Pinkze! I would not say surpassed, but it's a real competitor! 👍😊
Good review, awesome vid...👏👏👏👍💯🤘....my regards from 🇮🇩
Thanks from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Very nice and details review video bro!
Thank you! 🙏😊😊
Hallo Matteo, hab auf dieses Video gewartet, vielen Dank für dein Review.

Awesome, thank you! 🙏👍😊
great video! :3
Thanks! 😄
Awesome video 🔥🔥
Thank you! 👍😊😊
Me gusta mucho tus videos i los crawler son una pasada desde tenerife Canarias un saludo
Muchas gracias! 🙏👍😊
Hello Matteo! Any knowledge on other hard bodies' fitment for the Sherpa? Bumper mount looks different than in other rigs.
Nice, And it's got portals=++
Thanks! 👍😊
This is a GREAT video. The driving shots are superb, better than the official manufacturer video. VERY well done. Your english needs some work, but this is an excellent video!
Thank you very much! Glad to hear this. I know about my bad english, but this is very difficult for me...
@@Matteomeier your english is fine matteo, dont change bro
@@MrFruitflan Thank you so much! 🙏😊
From an Englishman :) keep up the good content
Nice!
Thanks Tony! 👍😊😊
Nice car and very nice video as always :-) LIKE!
Thanks for the visit! 🙏👍😊
nice model. Quality video spot on! Subscribed ! MC to you.
Thank you! 🙏😊
what cameras and lenses are you using to film all of this?
I use the Fujifilm XT4 and 100-400mm Fujinion lens. And a GoPro 7
Und um Vergleich zu sc10/3 ist der 2. Gang auch richtig flott!
A 4-linked rear with a Panhard bar? That's not how it's supposed to be unless the 4-link has no triangulation between the links. A Panhard bar makes the axle move slightly sideways however the triangulated 4 linked will try to keep it in it's place, causing stress on the links, chassis and axle.
This rear bar can be removed, no problem. 😊
Schöner Film.
Danke Jürgen! 👍☺️
Nice detailed review, thanks Matteo. Looks like it could be more of a trail truck than a serious crawler would you say? Have you tried it on more extreme conditions?
Thank you Dave! 🙏 In my opinion it's a scale crawler, something between a trail truck and a crawler, but same as TRX-4, SXC10 or HPI Venture. 👍😊 Because it's scale, I think It should not be moved on completely oversized obstacles.
Tolles Video! Jetzt warte ich noch auf einen Vergleich zum SCX lll im schwierigem Gelände.auffallend die C Hubs der Vorderachse sind an den Portalen befestigt das ergibt noch mal besonders viel Bodenfreiheit gegenüber der Konkurrenz die wiederrum die C hubs an den Achsen besitzen.
Vielen Dank! 👍😊😊
Hi Mateo, i love your videos!! The production is awesome. What camera do you use for side first person view images? How do you stick it to the car?
Thank you Rubén! 🙏😊😊 I used a GoPro Hero Session. And I adached it only with tape.
Cool... ein möglicher Konkurrent für den TRX 4..!
Stimmt! 👍😊
Hello mate, what crawler do you recommend at this price point? This is now in stock here in Portugal but I know that this is a Chinese model underneath. Still worth it? I love the one with the LR Discovery body in your channel but that’s more expensive and maybe less features right?
Yes, and the Discovery is a kit and needs all accessories separately, this makes it more expensive.
The Sherpa is a really good Crawler, even it's originally from China, no worries. (All the others are made in china also, even Traxxas) Mine works great without problems since I have it. And all the features you get for the money is outstanding. 👍😊
Super :-)
Thanks! 🙏 😊
That’s very nice truck very simerler to the scx10iii n nite bad price for it ur vid grate m8 👍👍
Thanks David! 👍
Woo!
🙏👍😊
Schöns Vid gmacht 😎👍
Danke Samuel! 🙏👍😊
Hello Mateo great vídeo as usual! So good that I bought myself one! Do you have any tips, my “hazard lights” are not working! Regards.
Normally, they work only in the second gear...
Hallo Matteo ,
wie immer , tolles , sehr informatives Video . Der Sherpa sieht sehr nach ernsthafter Konkurrenz für den
TRX-4 aus . Vor Allem wenn man auf den Verkaufspreis schaut , scheint der Absima ja wirklich unschlagbar .
Werde mal nachfragen , ob er vielleicht irgendwann als kompletter Bausatz auf den Markt kommt .
Ich baue halt meine Modelle gerne selbst . Grüße aus Rußheim
Danke für dein schönes Feedback! Ja, ich baue auch gerne Modelle selber, aber manchmal ist es auch cool das Ding einfach nur aus der Box zu holen... 👍😊
How did you find the magnets that hold the body shell? Do you know if there is possibility to attach other body shells with the classic post? I was thinking that with the magnets the body shell might fall off. Thank you Matteo!
I have no problems with the magnets. And it looks more scale without body pins.
@@Matteomeier I was taking into consideration this car or the trx4 traxxas. which one would you go for?
Hey Matteo, very nice video as all of your videos... taken in an awesome scenery. I also like always your explanations. But where did you got that "SHERPA" decal on the hood?
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 👍 The decal was included in the box with the truck...
Hello Matteo, which crawler would you propose for a newby in this hobby?
-TRX 4 Bronco, or
- Sherpa?
Br,
Attila
Both are great trucks. Sherpa has out of the box more features, especially the lights. 👍😊
Nice truck, im keeping a close eye on it.
I wonder if this rig can eat hardcore obstacles for breakfeast, if i decide to put some weigths and a good set of aftermarket tires. I have a Redcat gen7 pro and a Carisma Ford f150, and both of them suffer a bit of an abuse by the terrain i put them through, and aside from a burnt motor and destroyed gearing ( they were plastic ) i had no problems.
Heat hardcore obstacles sounds strange to me. Too much will destroy most of these RTR trucks...
@@Matteomeier This kind of rigs ( with proper mods ) are more than adequate to climb difficult obstacles, they are called crawlers for a reason ( not 100% scale), but i recommend bringing spare screws or screwdrivers to support them when you are in the field...
Its pretty common for my Rc mates to destroy their gearing, suspension, axles, etc, when they are driving their rigs, but they bring along pleeenty of spare parts to repair and keep going in the field. They are crazier ( and richer ) than me...
Yes, that's what I mean, on the limit you need spare parts and tools.... 👍😊😊 But as you said, upgrades are necessary when you want to drive it hardcore.
so nice !!!!
Many many thanks! 🙏👍😊
Hi. Connecting the XT 60 or XT 90 power supply ? Thanks.
XT60 is good. 👍😊
If you DON'T consider price, would you recommend this or the TRX-4? THank you
No, not absolutely. Both needs some upgrades, the TRX-4 needs lights and for some models clear windows, and there is a great risk to get problems with the servos. The Sherpa needs a better esc and dampers...
@@Matteomeier thank you very much. I think I'll go with the sherpa and upgrade to the 1080
All that great stuff - and NO Interior?? 😲 Besides that, I agree with you that this is a terrific player in the RC Crawler Market. In some ways it looks like a SCX10 III, but with locking Diffs. The Axles look strong and the gearing is goood.
I have to wonder, since the Body looks so much like the Jeep of the SCX10 III, would the Axial Interior fit?? Since you've got one, maybe you could find out? 😉
I might consider this, if it comes to the U.S. AND after my Ship FINALLY comes in next year! 😁
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
This is a good idea to try out the Axial interior! Thanks Carmine! 👍😊😊
Anytime if I can Help! 😉
It just seems like it would work. I wish I could afford to try it... 😢
I have a question... Do any of the Tamiya Interior Plates fit a M Chassis Car??
Thank you my good Friend!
Mais um belo vídeo, parabéns. Poderia mostrar como instala a câmera no carro. O meu chega segunda-feira. obrigado
Muito obrigado! Coloquei a câmera dentro com fita adesiva 👍😊
Im taking the Bronco down to the creek today. Its awesome living on our private 7K acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country. I have more trails to drive on than most people can imagine. I drive on 100+ year old cattle & goat trails. Some are hard to go up on foot! I never get bored. There are literally hundreds of miles of trails for me to run on.
If I ever get over being a lazy retired guy I might start making a few running videos. More than the crappy ones I already have in YT.
I'm very interested in this new RC.
I like having locking diffs & I'm glad Traxxas doesn't have a monopoly on this feature anymore! Looks like a great new rc!
Thank you so much for your feedback! You're lucky guy, living in this great environment! 👍😊
😉😉😉 how have you managed to have clear windows?Fab looking keep pal.👍
The glossy color versions come with clear windows. Only the matte color versions come with overpainted windows. But the windows can be made clear with paint remover. You can see it here: (This also works for the Sherpa) czcams.com/video/DuJUBYWiU-E/video.html
Is the Sherpa sold in the USA now or only in Europe?
Currently only in europe.
I'm new here. Is this available?
What battery would you say is best to in these sherpa's?
A 2s lipo with about 5000-7000 mAh.
is there a chance for a versus video ? i wanna see axial sxc10 iii vs absima sherpa ;)
And thanks for your videos just found your channel today (too late). But better late than never! Appreciate your work ! Greetings from germany. i leave a sub
Thanks for your nice feedback and sub! 👍☺️
@@Matteomeier np you deserve it ! Thanks for the appreciation !
Is there a way to move the inner fenders up? I would love to install bigger 2.2 tires but they will rub bad against the inner fenders ...
These can be easy trimmed with a scissors
Topppp
Thanks! 👍😊
i would have some concerns with the plastic gearing ???
also it seems very fast in first gear to be a good rock crawler ??
I dont think the gears are a big problem. And this is more a scale crawler so in my opinion the gearing is ok. The SCX-10 III is even faster in first gear.
@@Matteomeier
Is it !
My apologies, I haven't driven the scx iii, I stand corrected , just looked a bit quick to me but I am new to crawlers Tbh, I fancy this truck, so you don't think the plastic gears will be an issue ??
Once I saw them , red flags went up but I think early scx10 s had plastic gears ??, great review matteo , if you encounter any issues or test it hard I'd love to know , maybe a long term review 😉👍
What do you think and which one would you choose between this one and de axial scx10iii rtr?
Both of them have advantages and disadvantages. Sherpa have a better 2-speed gearshift and lockable diffs. And a fully light system, and its much cheaper. Axial is better in rough terrain and maybe a bit more robust... its up to your preferences.
@@Matteomeier the lockable diffs and better price is what made me think about it, how about the suspensions? Are they on par with each other?
The SCX10 have slightly advantages in the suspension, because of the better dampers.
Awesome truck. Offers so much for the price it costs. Probably the crawler which offers the most bang for your buck.
Sadly this thing is sold out absolutely everywhere. No chance to get one at least for a few weeks I guess.
Thx for your presentation, Matteo!
Exzellente Aufnahmen technisch und von der Landschft her. Besonders interessant ist, wie du die Auswirkungen der Differentialsperren und des 2- Gang Getriebes gezeigt hast. Freue mich auf jedes Deiner Videos.
Thanks! 👍😊 Yes, in a few weeks it will avialable again!
Vielen Dank Johannes! Freut mich das es dir gefallen hat! 🙏👍😊
