👍&🔔 Folks.
With all the other videos you're regularly putting out I don't know where you'd find the time to do anything else! I had an idea though, notnsure if it's practical but while your taking your time building it, you could put tiny updates about it at the end of a video, if you had any. Or put a short out every so often showing small aspects of the ongoing build? I've seen other channels who have long, on-going stop animation projects going do that. Then when completed or finished a section, bring a longer video out. Don't know if that translates to a project like this. I'm happy whenever, but your predicament reminded me of that. 🙂
Heads up you have to turn off the drag brakes on at least one motor or they fight each other. Get hot.
Any rc enthusiast that builds an rc understands what is needed to complete a very complex build such as that. The channel is awesome. It will really epic when’s it’s done
Yes, I think sometimes people forgot how long stiff can take, more so when you are filming etc
@@TomleyRCI totally understand. I often think on filming but with my limited time for such things I got caught in the process and it's done. My last crawler did take me a week to build. Not that I'm slow but family involved i would say and free time when I'm tired af😅
When it's done, it's done. No rushing a labour of love.
As a scratch builder I can really appreciate the taking of time, some days, weeks, months it just gets a good coat of looking at but it's where my mind wanders and takes me on an adventure just imagining my builds as they are being created👌even if much isn't getting done👍
Yes, certainly can get intense… but that’s part of the fun sometimes 😎
That look coat, is the one that, for me, gives motivation, and brings out the creativity, to help guide you to the finish line, and looking good when you get there. It's a sign of wisdom, knowing how important it is, to just look at what you're doing for a time.
Definitely not a project to rush at this point.
Do appreciate the update on it, wouldn’t mind a part 3 before it’s finished to be honest.
Looks really cool!
Take. Your. Time.
What an epic build. It will be quite a spectacle when it's finished.
Yes, I don’t want to rush anything
Take your time and enjoy it Phil. There is no rush, we will be here anyway 👍
😎🙏
Exactly. Well said.
I figured with as massive as it is and all the parts when you initially showed it you were overwhelmed trying to paint and detail the body. Good work so far!
Take your time. Anyone who has done any kind of scale modelling or diorama building will fully appreciate that this project is not like your typical RC car that can be finished in a weekend. This kit cost a small fortune and it wouldn't be right to do any less than the best you can with it. If it were mine I'd plan on getting several months of enjoyment out of building and painting it. Looking forward to seeing it when it's done of course, but there's plenty else to watch in the meantime.
I'm was not surprised with this video, people do not realize the hours that go into a build like this and this one is an incredible kit. I build sometimes from scratch and it not weeks but months spent working on it. Take your time to get it how you want it and it will look incredible.
I've taken five technic Legos builds fully back apart and built my own mad max style vehicles. I understand the time it takes. I also build model cars and trucks for a hobby. Plus work on actual cars and trucks as well with a full time job on overnights.
I like the updates, even if it's not a "full part" video. It's such a massive build, I figure some quick updates are cool to get :)
It’s looking fantastic, just sit back and enjoy Phil.
I thought you picked those colors to look like Optimus prime. Dude take your time! Enjoy the build!! Can't wait to see it when it's finished!!
part of the fun of building them is the challenge, but definitely dont make yourself rush. relax and enjoy building it. i'll just be happy to see the finished product when you are done with it.
Thanks Phil for the update. Relax don't stress and take all the time you need. 🐱😹😸
TBH i had totally forgot about this project, but now i'm hyped again after watching this video.
You’re doing a terrific job. Take your time and enjoy it. We will all enjoy it with you when you are finished. Take care.
That thing is epic! Like you said, don’t rush it, enjoy it! Always find your fun! That’s what this hobby is all about! 🎉
The anticipation has been worth it, take your time, have fun, create it in your own mind, the only way is the way you want it, and I hope you keep this one, and have it on your channel once in a while maybe pulling a trailer picking up garbage on the beach that would be cool seeing it on the beach
Take your time be proud of what you do… don’t worry about people that watch your channel they’ll appreciate it more when it’s done.
Should never be under pressure doing something you enjoy, it’s not every day you can get your hands on a rig like that, you’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity, enjoy the process 😃👍💪🏼
No pressure, as long as it’s done for the weekend and we can get to see it, it’ll be all good 😂
Really looking forward to seeing this one!! 😎 enjoy
Ngl, when you first announced this build, I expected like at least a Part 8.... The assumption that you'd have it done in 3 parts is extremely ambitious!!! And we really just wanna see *the* *machine*, not necessarily heaps of progress in every single vid!! Like yes PLEASE take your time with this, Enjoy it!! Have fun!!! We just wanna be included on this journey is all!!!
I appreciate the update, really like the idea of the original paint then hitting it with the satin black and giving it a sand down for that sorta patina mad max look. It'd look amazing if it had some battle scars, some war wounds but I also completely understand not wanting to intentionally basically "damage" the body in any way.
Dude, this thing is going to be absolutely insane. Like banana level insanity! Yes, you are not at all on a deadline. I bet I speak for the less douchey section of your subs, when I say, we can wait til you're done, no rush my guy. Thanks for the update, and being candid with us about the timeframe. I feel ya there. If it's not fun, relaxing or even enjoyable, why do it? Life is too short to be under the gun on YOUR time, as well as the job during the day/night, or whenever you gotta go make da scratch.
as long as the belt's not too tight you're good
This is a cross between old school model building, an new school rc building. Absolutely love this.....❤❤❤
Take your time please, this will be so awesome when done.
Lets be honest here, your probably never going to build another one.
Take your time, enjoy the build, thank you for sharing it with us!
PS - I still keep checking to see if there's been an update video 😂😂
So cool Phil. Take your time. We’re happy with a 20 part video series. 😀
Very cool project. Take your time, we'll still be here to see it.
Don't feel pressure from us. We'd love most to see you enjoy the process and are happy to follow along at your pace. Thanks for taking the time to document this properly, this is a bad ass build!
No pressure… but worry up!!! 😂😂😂
Fair point mate. If you don’t enjoy the built, we I’ll not enjoy it!
Thanks for all your great videos! 🙏
Take your time, if you lose your passion for the project it will show in the videos too. I love this build and want to see it done right. 99% of us could never do a build like this.
It’s really looking good so far , wow! It’ll be an ACCOMPLISHMENT in itself (as far as RC is concerned) for real. And you are a perfectionist about certain things so I know the finish/detail work will be stellar when you’re finished 👍
Well Phil,do not rush this,it will be awesome when it's done,the Mad Max theme will be the dogs bollocks,this must be the ultimate kit available.💪🚛
I am not a fan of deadlines and due dates myself, so, for at least one long time subscriber, no pressure here. You run an amazing RC channel, and I enjoy all your videos. You have a lot going on, and that is not small undertaking as far as an RC build goes.
I love your Mad Max approach to the paint ideas, if I had any suggestions, it wouldnt be much more than give the guns some muzzle flash discoloration, to stay in theme with your body paint job.
Keep up the great work, thanks for the update, and dont let anyone/anything ruin your enjoyment with your hobby. If people want to get impatient, they can get their own!
I consider myself a "seasoned" builder and I've just built the Cross RC Demon SG4C . That is a 1:10 crawler/trail truck and that has taken over a week . It's all about the detail with this brand .
Brother it's all good 🤙🏼 people get too used to the insta satisfaction of the Internet... Take your time. We'll be here when it's done
Yes, I think I may put pressure on my self that is often not needed
@@TomleyRC it's okay buddy I think we all do from time to time ✌🏻 if we didn't it would be a world of sloths 😂
I’m not a struggling doctor, I have patients. I watched fingerprints workshops fiero restoration. Took 2 years with videos about every month and half. Loved it
Interesting build. It incorporates both my main hobbies; building RCs and model kits.
Basher content, tribute builds, military builds, tamiya builds, crawling content, speed runs, reviews, custom builds etc etc ect. You EARNED your sub count, and thats without the kiddies watching. Great stuff bro.
I wouldn’t call myself an RC enthusiast, but this is amazing! Can’t wait to check out the final product!
Brother, I'm glad you're doing this because it couldn't be me. Lol.
As much as I and others can't wait to see it finished, definitely don't put yourself under pressure. Take all the time you need, and it's something to look forward to some point down the line chill my friend 😁
Going to be an amazing truck. Would like to see it loaded up with a scale 1 : 10 4x4 or something, kinda used as a transport or recovery vehicle with a winch, just to show the power of the motors and the grip of the 10x10!
That's one thing that's really cool about this hobby you're able to take your time and do as you want and like you said in another video you know you've got yourself to that place where you can accept what you want and what you don't so yeah just do what you want
Part one of this was the first video I ever saw and clicked on of yours - how could you not!
And now this is one of my favourite yt channels.
Take your time and enjoy the build . It's a special one .
I've just watched part 1 and 2 again this morning, then lo and behold, part 2.35 comes out! Can't wait to see part 3. Paint job sounds awesome. 2000-3000 grit wet and dry seems to work sell for taking off 1 layer at a time. Takes longer, but it'll be worth it in the end
Thanks for the update Phil. Enjoy your build and share when you can.
It's looking fantastic already, Phil! Amazing work! 😃
But you don't need to finish it in 3 parts either. Do 7, 8 parts! Whatever it takes.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hi Phil, take your time. I know you enjoy what you build and the attention to detail you always put into everything. Looking forward to seeing it done when it's done. 😊
Oh the joys of painting Cross RC trucks !! Enjoy. 😂
Looking awesome buddy and take your time. Its beyond both my level of patience and my bank balence!
Take as long as you need. You are doing an amazing job. To he'll with people in rush to see done.
Thanks for the update. Going to be awesome once you get time to finish it
Man!!! You know we are here for the ride getting there 😎
Both the build and your channel are really amazing, like a good wine. Rushing will only spoil it 😉
Epic build!! Such an amazing model. It is worth the wait.Thanks for sharing.
This series is the best RC Build on CZcams #fact.
like the old adage, measure twice cut once, it's worth taking your time to get it just right, it afterall is your project, not anyone else's, it's going to be worth the wait and again I wish I had one....😊
Ah take your time sir these kits take awhile enjoy the build you don’t have to rush anything love the work thx for sharing
You go your own way,in your own time Mr.T, and I know the result will be stunning.
Great vid, thanks for the update a good approach to the project. Looks awesome but also daunting. Keep it up.
Like you said,, this is probably a one of a kind build for you. (It would be for me.) Take as much time as you need!!! Enjoy the build! Give us small updates. That's cool with us. I love Cross RC products. I think you would be doing us a favor by showing small clips of the details as you go. I, for one, would enjoy that. I'll live precariously through you, watching your build! ...... Crack on! lol
lovely project. Have a read up on "salting". It's a way of deliberately making rust spots and patina. I am so envious, this is a great build! 👍🍺🇬🇧
It's coming along quite nicely. Can't wait to see the finished results
Phil, enjoy the building... no rush!
Need a t-shirt "it'll be done when it's done...and it will be glorious!"
Take your time, we enjoy the process
Thanks for the update 👍
Thank you for your hard work for our viewing
Nah, mate I knew when you got stuck into this project just how massive a scale this build would be. Honestly, take your time. Yes, people are impatient about needing entertainment but the reality is that this massive thing just has so many parts to glue, paint and assemble that there’s no way to do it all quickly.
I enjoy seeing this build and as someone who’s owned trains in the past, the aesthetic of seeing a massive RC with a train cab on it is awesome. But seriously, I can hold out because I know it’ll be that much more awesome when it’s completed.
Looks fantastic looking forward to seeing it finished.
I'm in the same boat. It is such a slow build. I'm not sure how you're doing it in the cold since every time I work on mine, it's a 2 to 4 hours minimum. Great progress. You are way ahead of me. 👍👍👍👍👍
I had just figured it was so big, it was just going to take a while to build anyways. I had thought the game this was for was Crossout, which is a Mad Max / Twisted Metal apocalypse game. But seeing it in the brighter colors, it kind of starts looking like something out of an 80's era Godzilla movie. They had some odd tanks and trucks back in those movies.
Mate, that thing looks awesome. Can't wait to see it at the skate park
A good tip to remove paint is to use brakefluid, soake it and let sit for a while and then its just to peel/ wipe the color of. If it is a hardbody like 1/18 plasticmodels it works great to remove paint that way, have done it multiple time.
If it is a lexan nitrofuel works good tho wipe of paint on bodys.
The bigger story is, no matter the job, there are always stakeholders needing to be communicated with.
Please don’t stress out. Good content takes time.
PS… that black scrubbed mad max paint scheme sounds killer!
I wouldn’t want to rush it either. Cant you get the world famous diesel heater 😂 ❤
Take your time that motor engine looks 👌 That's a crazy build😊
You could just post chassis ride-on footage of this and save yourself a ton of work, lol! That was cool!
Woohoo. Coming along. No pressure! If you rush it you know youll be unhappy with small things and then itll just pile up ontop of next projects
You are all good bro, you bang out loads of videos, so enjoy the build, it's a monster
TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!! it took me like 6 months to finish my tc6 and longer to finish my WT4
Great project, love this beast.
FYI: the red with yellow stripes design is the national Hungarian color scheme for diesel locomotives (blue-yellow is for electric), just like the "M" nomenclature in the M62. (this model has the nickname "Szergej" in Hungary, referencing the Russian origin)
Have fun with it man! It's an awesome model, and we're excited to see how it turns out.
Don't wanna sat but WOW !! that's HUGE Tom. 😢
Poor guy.. this is a long term build - don’t forget to stare at it, for days! That’s how the (right) ideas come.. I’ve my TRX-6 90% readily modded now, have been staring at it for 4 months.. I got new ideas, and it will be ready in a couple of months.. That was RTR to start with.. 😂 Grab the new reviews and have some pauses, it’ll do you and the build good Phil! Thanks for your effort🤘
Chipping varnish and clear coat after the scratching is done, if you want a nice result
amazing build! crazy stuff this dual motor configuration! cheers, mate!
Yeah, it’s awesome
Tour doing great, loving this.
It would look so cool in silver with old style fighter plane graphics on it
You should make it so it can articulate in the center, just in front of the back 6 wheels, thing would be unstoppable. Toss some hinges on the bed and dial in your linkage so it doesn’t bind up
already looking good!
An exceptionally nice build! You've done great work with the painting, just as you did with the MN82. Haha, I'd like to keep this monster as a cargo carrier. It doesn't make sense to me to have all that plastic over the load
Looks awesome. I just finished building mine and I will give you a few tips. Make sure you go over those steering components with Loctite. Good Loctite. And you should Make that hole a little bit bigger in the middle of the truck going down the center it doesn’t have enough room for the wires the pass-through and the transmission selector will get jammed up in it. I’ve had a few problems with the lighting system, but overall the truck isn’t nice build.
Omg wow so much stuff to do can’t wait to see the out come man that looks sweet as man
Yeah, it’s gonna be epic 👌
The cab is actually an M62 (BR 120 Taigatrommel) locomotive with some edits.
Good work takes time.
That thing would look sic a.f done in camouflage.
