Scale accuracy over rock performance? Yes please. More of the same coming soon I hope.

SCALE builders guild! Boom racing nailed it. Perfect choice for color. It would be nice to see someone, anyone, do bodies other than jeep or land rover as the norm. I know there's a few others, but it would be nice to see more diversity.

I agree!

So you’re saying this is ready for my trails… Excellent!!!

"Some of them are a little tighter than others"....very true.

I love LEAFS! My first build 2 years ago was the GMade Jeep Sawback simply because it WAS a leaf spring kit. I ordered both versions of the BRX02 and both body styles because I'm in my 7th year of retirement and my 401k is just sitting there gathering dust! So, save for retirement so you can keep on building toys at the senior center with the other kids my age..... You and Josh (JOSH WHO), RC-Girl and Mr. Dennis Dempsey keep inspiring me in this new hobby! Thanks for all the fun!

I think this is the best rc model of a defender by far.

I was thinking of making Carmel Trophy D110 with BRX02.I bought another car.😅 Thank you for the good information!!

Those frame rails are beefy! Just saw on their website and they're 7mm. You can tell they really put effort into this chassis. Another company I will not name should take some notes.

Thats cool. Reminds me of Doctor Who

passion drives it all, good job BOOM RACING! There is talk of them releasing the series 3 land rovers, 90 and 109 wheel base. Looking forward to that! dont know when they will offer that but man will buy both! So fitting to trailing and iconic. Here the leaf spring will come into play for looks!

Nice little surprise for us Dutch 👍 with a nice gimmick. Thank you.

That truck rocks! Period. I love leaf springs on the trail. Good job!

This Defender looks amazing!

And the first V8 series 3 Stage one was on leaf springs but had a defender style front end .in the 80’s

Awesome. Just got mine yesterday, looking forward to this build.

Excellent review, as always! I just built the link version of the BRX02. The precision machined parts, well thought out design, and excellent instructions make this a treat to build. Now I’m on to the labor intensive task of painting and assembling the body. I’m considering to do a second one in the leaf spring version after this. Love the Landys!

Looks fantastic. Really good. 👍👍👍

Excellent review. Thank you very much 🙂👍🏼

It´s the only RC Defender on the market with the correct 5 lug pattern. All the others have 6. Diffs are in the wrong place on the axel though. I so want to get this in the spring. I think they have a DCPU which is the same body as my 1/1 Defender. Cool to build a replica.

That looks really scale and sharp. Nice.

You can’t go wrong with brx kits they are nicely put together.

Great news, boom are releasing a series 3 body in 88” and 109” in the new year! 👍🏽 this makes the leaf sprung Land Rover 100% correct, plus it’s under license for Land Rover.

It surely has a special place in my heart since it's the first car I have ever driven when we were living in Africa.. And I was only 9 years old.... Almost 40 years ago... Oh yeah well Africa was and is different... But it was light blue and quite rusty ! 🤣 It sure looks like a cool rig to trail and use as a tractor to haul a trailer for the real crawler... Ah you're missing a spare wheel at the back or on the hood and a winch I guess.. Just for the scale looks at least. Anyway as always Thanks for the review, and may the torque be with you I did hit like btw. Peace ✌

You did an awesome job getting this assembled and detailed out. Love the license plate and the right hand drive sticker 😂. I was certainly grumbling that this was carbon before, but that was before I realized the wheelbase was over 13 inches. CF pushes it right out of class1 potential, but I suppose most folks wouldn't try to compete with tiny tires and that wheelbase anyway.

Thanks for watching! As you know, I love the Defender, especially the vintage models, but I know they're not for everyone.

Anti wrap bars are pretty much required with the high torque of the electric motor. That's okay, the ability of the leaf spring to cycle properly and keep the body from bouncing is why the leafs have to be fairly soft and stacked for progression. Without the anti wrap bars, you're going to break stuff. Coolest RC trucks money can buy.

Before the defender it was the (3\4 ton) that was leaf sprung ...passed my driving test in one ...(British army) ...yours looks amazing as all your scale vehicles do !!

You know, if I didn't already have over a grand wrapped up in my Gelande II D90, decked out from head to toe with ALL the scale details, I'd chuck it in for this one. I really like some of the nuances of the construction. It seems they took a look at RC4WD and asked themselves how could they make it just that much nicer. This reminds me of what it would be like to own a CAPO Cub but in 1:10 but for the same price as their 1:24! The carbon fiber frame rail thing, the wheel wells, leaf spring adjustability. Which, brings me to this: does the kit give you leaf-under or leaf-over options for the axle or is it just leaf-over? Dope ride.

This is such a cool rig. Iv always like boom racing. They do a great job. This is for sure on my list haha. I like the idea of liking leaf springs. Everytime I get a truck with them though..... I seem to sell it, to fund other current builds. In my defense they are older so...hahaha Great work man. Interested on seeing the body you are putting on it, as I know this isn't staying on there.

Great review, great truck! 👍 Boom Racing truly nailed it (even if not historically accurate). I'm not sure that we need a high performance leaf sprung truck, though. if I'm trailing then other, cheaper, chassis' will most likely suffice. Of course, I say this but I'm about to log on to the Boom Racing site 😆

What an excellent kit, and a great colour combination you've chosen too... and I'm so pleased you started the review by pointing out that all Defenders were coil sprung, not leaf... (although it's fair to say that a number of owners of 1:1 Series vehicles have transplanted the later grille and longer hood to earlier Land Rovers). In that regard, since the rear of the body didn't really ever change that much from the Series vehicles, I wonder if someone will print an alternative grille/hood (bonnet) and front fenders (wings) in the Series style - that would be a lovely option. And similarly, a Rover V8 engine/motor cover would seem to be an ideal addition too.

The "defender" as that body is called.....is actually called a defender, its a defender 110 county station wagon puma engine (which is defined by the bonnet bulge), with regard to running on leafs you are right a "defender" never came on leafs BUT earlier "110 county station wagon" did, right around the transition from series 3 to just "110 / 90" they did in fact for a few years come with leafs on before land rover decided that all vehicles coming from their factory would now be equipped with coil springs. All 90,110 and defenders were fitted with coil springs, but the name defender did not come about till much later than the leaf springs were omitted from all of land rover's vehicles.

I really kind of like the chassis and leaf springs, for scale purpose pretty much every 4wd built before 85-90 was leaf front and rear. Imagine this with scale looking 10 bolt Chevy axles and a Chevy square body, instant Fall Guy truck. Or a Nissan Patrol body... so many cool vehicles that aren't a damn jeep or toyota.
