- the Yikong YK-4101 (not the Pro Version which also has locking diffs), this is easily the best, strongest 'CHEAP' crawler i have owned, it just seems unbreakable..... that's why i decided to see exactly how much it would take before oil finally broke sending out on a #s lipo down-hill speed run using its bashing fast high gear on this crazy Mountain Bike trail.
for only $399 Australian dollars this is one heck of a tough RC, i have upgraded the steering servo to a 25kg Power HD servo and also changed the shocks to Proline Pro-spec dual spring crawler shocks for extra performance.
With all this abuse all that ended up breaking was a ball end from one of the rear link arms.

Cool video 🎥🎬
💯🔥🔥🔥 Massive like 👍👍👍👍
really nice my friend very cool👍😊🤟😎🇬🇧🇬🇧👊
Cheers Leon
wow, this is awesome look👍
Thanks mate, Its awesome for a $399 Aus dollar RTR crawler
@@IDORC yeah, I've considered before, that's one of my options, but now I have my trx4 sport😎
@@SLRC17 yeah the Sport would be a lot better than this, id class this is a great ‘spare’ RC for your mates so they don’t use your good one lol
@@IDORC yeah, that's what i thought too.
RCX10 YK4101 loves the Down Hill .. nice run Bro' it takes jumps rolling and crashing.. well done 🙂💯👌
Cheers Joel, she sure does
Beautiful video great work 👍
whoa!!! very professional work my friend
Thanks mate, this one was only simple, please check out my other vids if you liked this one. Thanks again
again a epic video, great job, i love it 👍
Thanks mate, will be doing some bigger vids this weekend, can’t wait to get the Mojave and the Talion out
Two speed that thing looks fast bro but damn you know how to test that crap out of it .great video.👏👍💯
Lol cheers Jay, I’ve had this beast for quite sometime, was always the Crawler I’d give to kids and mates when I knew they had no idea how to drive so it’s had a tough life but just keeps going and going and going, I thought with this vid I’d just go bigger and bigger until something gave in… and lol it was only a ball end link that broke, tough beast, but yeah she is way fast on a 2s in high gear and insane on 3s, more like a crawler basher.
@@IDORC made one hell of a video beating the brains out that thing.👏👏👍
😉👍💯
Poor truck, took a good bit of a beating from what it looks like and held up well. I'm not familiar with this brand I'll have to do more research on this one. ( great video as always! )
It’s the best ‘cheap’ crawler I can find, about $399 Aus dollar, not bad at all for that price
@@IDORC That's a killer price! If I ordered one it looks like it's almost $500 U.S.
@@MauGino they did go up in price for a while due to the popularity of them
@@IDORC I'll sit and wait .... ever so patiently * rubs hands together in an evil manner *
@@MauGino I hear ya, the new Arrma 1/7 Fireteam is available tomorrow and I think I need one lol
You know "Crawler" not Rally Dakar Truck ha ha! Run my P Version (380 Euro) Till 3 years ,the Kong have no easy Job on my weekends but not as though as yours ha ha! Cool though Truck i love it.
Cheers mate, they are great tough trucks for sure
Amazing video. We have 2 Khambas which would be Yikong 4103. May I ask you some questions concerning your truck and the video?
Cheers mate, what’s your question?
@@IDORC I would like to know if with this YK you are usual to driving so hard and awesome. In the case did you have issues or broken parts? We have two YK 4103 and other than trailing we also like a lot Raid speed too. But they are brand new and I would prefer to avoid big broken or problems. Thanks for help 🙂
Hey bro. Where did you get that from? I'm in Queensland. Awesome video 💪🤙🤘. I'm looking at getting one. Cheers heaps!
Hi mate,, pretty sure it was a place called super cheap hobbies in Aus,
@@IDORC cheers. They ok to deal with?
@@jarrasoden3559 they seemed pretty good, I paid only $399 for it
@@IDORC Nice I'm gunna get myself one right now!
@@jarrasoden3559 they are a great crawler for the price, a lot of places started to sell them for about $700 once they realised how decent they were, but $399 is a good price for them.
Hey mate, do you know if the diffs are open or locked on the standard version? The pro version comes with diff lock options on the transmitter but I'd rather save some money and get the standard version. Great clip btw.
Hi Paul, the standard (like mine) has the high speed/low speed option via controller but not lock able diffs, personally I don’t ever use a lock diff function so I went for this version too.
@@IDORCthanks very much for letting me know 🙂
I ended up getting one of these and they are pretty good value! They're fun in high gear. Is your light bar plugged into the receiver or do you have it hooked up to a separate battery? I plugged some lights (front and rear) into a free receiver channel and something wasn't right. The battery, motor and esc heated up and sapped juice for 2 batteries pretty quick. Seems fine after unplugging the light kit now though.
@@Bonald1 hi mate, great to hear, I plug my light into the receiver box and no issues
@@IDORC thanks, thats good to know. Maybe I have a dodgey light kit or I need to upgrade to lipo batteries. Either way I'm happy with the truck. Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.
This vid 👀 how many cameras you using? How long did it take to film and how long for editing? Absolutely awesome work 😎
Cheers mate, only 2 cameras in this and did the filming and driving by myself, the bigger/better vids have at least 3 cameras and 2 of us, a driver and a cameraman, makes it easy and we can use the drone for shots… but hard by myself lol, usually a couple of hours filming and about 6hrs on the editing for the bigger vids, thus one I filmed and cut in the same day… only about 3hrs on the edit
@@IDORC that’s bloody great work to get all done yourself 💪 I definetly need to invest in a 2nd Cam soon will make life a lot easier to get those flowing shots instead of trying to hit something the same way from different angles. Great content keep it it up 👊🏼
@@rcchallenge8626 thanks mate, I appreciate it, we only usually set one camera up at a time and it down to the editing to make it flow usually, hitting the same spots certainly help though. This vid I did set up 2 cams for a couple of jumps…. Didn’t know how long she was going to last lol.
Looks very nice. Do you know the total spent on the mods you did to it? You mentioned new shocks and the stronger servo.
Also out of interest was a sponsored video?
Hi mate, definitely not a sponsored vid, I wish I was sponsored lol, the shocks are expensive but not necessary, I only put them on because I had them laying around, they tend to leak I’ve found, the servo was only about $60 Aus dollars and is not the best but decent enough, it also has different wheels and tyres, again they are pretty ordinary tyres and do not perform well for crawling, they are metal though which add some nice weight to the wheels. I just through it together with these spare wheels for the vid. All in all stock is probably a better set up lol
COMMITMENT!
Cheers bro… new video out soon, cheers for watching
Talk some in video please
Some vids I do mate, others just don’t need it really, ‘actions speak louder than words’ as they say lol also pretty much all RC channels talk, I want mine to be a bit different. But I’ll still talk when needed my friend. Cheers for watching
