And it looks even cooler on the technical stuff "in person" 😄 Ha ha ha lol It's definitely not a day to day crawler, "but for what it is" it doesn't do too bad around the washed out adventure course, and more importantly, it looks very Cool and Realistic while doing it.😊 Many thanks for checking out the show bro 😁🤜🤛
😄 ha lol "nope, not yet.

And it came with a old outdated Spektrum DX6i transmitter to go along with it,😁 which is the same transmitter that I'm going to bind the plane up to.😄 Lol But the flight sim was a huge help... And I highly recommend one of those "for anyone thinking about flying a RC plane,😄 Lol Having that Sim is great for developing the muscle memory required for learning how to fly in RC airplane,😕 it's a huge help, and saves all kinds of money too,😂 Crashing a RC plane in the Sim doesn't cost you a penny, and crashing one in real life can be "potentially" very expensive.😕 I can't thank that person enough for donating that, it has "potentially" saved me a ton of money,😄 I crashed my plane 7 times the first time out "without trying it on a SIM first" and the second time out I didn't crash it at all,😕 instead I had one really bad landing on the ground, and two really nice high level parking jobs, in two different trees,😂 Lol But I didn't crash it.😁👍 And that's where I'm at "at the moment, "currently editing the end of a flight video, out in the Big RC Toy Box.😁 The Jeep... Holy cow I didn't even mention the jeep 😂 And that's because it's not on the bench, and is currently sitting on the RC display wall "below my K10 Ascender, and above my Wltoys 10428a Hydroplane truck.😁 don't know when I'll get around to taking it apart, but when I do "I'll make sure to put it on camera.😊 Otherwise though I'm still happy with it.😁 It's definitely not the best RC crawler for the money, but I wouldn't have ever known that without the opportunity of owning one first,😕 Especially since nobody else other than myself on CZcams, would ever give someone the straight facts on a vehicle such as this,😕 Most folks like to show RC's like they never have a problem, and "me" on the other hand "me likes to tell the Truth.😁👍 Ha ha ha 😂 lol I personally like that little jeep, but it's definitely not a everyday crawler, and it's not necessarily built for the long haul,😕 She's basically just a very scale shelf model "that you can take out and drive every once and awhile" 😕 I've only had it out twice, and the first time was in the snow, "which is where it picked up that clicking sound" 🤔 and that's not good! 😕 "If it was in the dirt" then I might think that some sand might have gotten into something, "But since it started doing it in the snow"🤔 That means "that it must be internal, and I'm guessing it's coming from it's crappy "linear gear reduction transmission"🤔 "Ultimately" I'm foreseeing that body on an entirely different chassis somewhere down the line, just because I know "that the original chassis isn't going to hold up.😕 But right now she's looking pretty, and currently sitting on display with all the rest of the RC's.😊👍
Yeah not too bad all in all, "did pretty darn good for a scale model.😊 In hindsight "and as far as getting views go" I probably should have gotten a Gmade Spyder, or a Redcat Ascent,🤔 But I wasn't concerned about the views with this vehicle, this time I was getting a new RC that I've been wanting for a while, vs getting a new vehicle that the public wants to see.😁 It's certainly not the best crawler by any means, but it definitely looks great on film while it's trying.😄👍 Would I recommend it as someone's next RC ? 🤔 Definitely Not! 😕 There's no way that this thing would hold up to "day to day" use and abuse, It's a Cool looking truck with great overall curb appeal, "that looks awesome on camera" but it's definitely not built for daily driving.😄 Lol I myself on the other hand, am going to treat it like a daily drive, "just to see how long it will last for" and how much long term trail abuse that it can actually handle. 😁😂 Ha ha ha lol In other words "I'm going to find out what it's made of.😁👍
It's because the majority of my views are still coming from people who are doing Internet searches on specific stuff vs getting views from channel subscribers.😕 Which is another reason why I got this truck vs something different, I was getting this one for me vs getting it for the channel. 😊
😦 hmm.. I don't know how to say this, other than to just say it, but I actively try not to watch other people's channels "specifically because I don't want to be influenced by their ideas" I like being original....😁👍 Now that being said... When I was learning about RC Airplane's over the past few months, "I've been doing just the opposite, and watching several other people's channels, But mainly Brian Phillips RC channel, he's kinda like me "as far as how he does his filming" except that he's very knowledgeable about Airplanes.😄 So there you go.... But when it comes to "Terra Firma" There's only a handful of channels that I'll check out from time to time, and those all belong to friends such as yourself.😁👍 But otherwise I actively try not to be influenced by other people's ideas.😕😊
I was surprised too 😄 it's gotta come down to the extra chassis weight from the driver and lead counter weight coupled with those narrow pizza cutter tires, that got it through most of the terrain,😄 Weight and Tire Side Bite for the dirt stuff, and Weight and Flat Tire Contact Patch for the double roller brick hill, 😁 Those tires performed pretty darn good across the board.😊
@kevinbreaker2683 Oh yeah....😄 I'm sure that I'll be doing all kinds with it, I'll run it until it comes apart, "and then I'll modify it "and make it better. 😁👍 lol
Possibly... But at the same time I haven't been too hard on it. It started making noise on it's first run in the snow,😕 "which is kinda ridiculous really" but now after it's first run in the dirt, it's Really starting to make some noises,😄 I'm going to run it until it breaks, and then I'm going to take it apart and see what it's made of, and then I'll probably put that jeep body on an entirely different chassis "Like a stretched out Ascender, or a Redcat Gen 8.😁👍
Looks pretty cool in the technical stuff!👍
And it looks even cooler on the technical stuff "in person" 😄 Ha ha ha lol
It's definitely not a day to day crawler, "but for what it is" it doesn't do too bad around the washed out adventure course, and more importantly, it looks very Cool and Realistic while doing it.😊

Did pretty well.
Agreed... Especially considering the type of vehicle it is.😄👍
Did you figure out what was making the noise yet in your little rc jeep
😄 ha lol "nope, not yet.

How come not too many people comment on your channel
It's because the majority of my views are still coming from people who are doing Internet searches on specific stuff vs getting views from channel subscribers.😕
Which is another reason why I got this truck vs something different, I was getting this one for me vs getting it for the channel.

Watch that ricky's garage f m s jeep video, That may give you some ideas,

The FMS One twelve scale, It's pretty slick. Has leaf springs 2, speed transmission
I'm checking that one out
Actually it was good it didn't pop a drive shaft, Or Axel. The little pizza cutter tires
I was surprised too 😄 it's gotta come down to the extra chassis weight from the driver and lead counter weight coupled with those narrow pizza cutter tires, that got it through most of the terrain,😄 Weight and Tire Side Bite for the dirt stuff, and Weight and Flat Tire Contact Patch for the double roller brick hill, 😁

Yeah, good video. Are you going to make another run with it
@kevinbreaker2683
Oh yeah....😄 I'm sure that I'll be doing all kinds with it, I'll run it until it comes apart, "and then I'll modify it "and make it better.
😁👍 lol
Sounds Great
Tires did well,,🛻
Maybe you pushed it too hard
Possibly...
But at the same time I haven't been too hard on it.

That's true but what happened to the loyal fifteen percent, Remember that little talk about those faithful %15
@kevinbreaker2683
Ha ... It's currently the loyal 16.? something.😄
I assume that they moved on to better channels during my past down time.🙄😆
