ECX BARRAGE GEN2 | Ep. 3: River Trail Run
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This is the final video in my Barrage Gen2 Kit build series. I finally take it out on the trails, through my backyard crawler course, and down to the river. It's a really capable rig! I did forget to tape the holes in the rims, so the foams filled up with water (whoops). I was able to salvage them by squeezing most of the water out afterwards. I also gave them some negative pressure which really softens them up, though this was after I already filmed. Other than that, this thing was a ton of fun out on the trail and was able to make it up some impressive features.
This Gen2 Barrage kit has a ton of new updates since their original ready-to-run version came out. Many of the more technical build components have been preassembled for you (transmission, shocks, glued tires), and all the electronics are included.

I believe the best part of this video is the quality peaceful afternoon unwinding from the hustle and bustle in life. I enjoyed watching it probably almost as much as you enjoyed making it. Well done.
Love how the dog is all calm and doesn't care about the truck at all. Every time I bring one of mine out my dog Scout goes nuts!.. Racer, crawler, basher, doesn't matter he wants to kill that RC! :)
That was very peaceful and serene. I loved it! Looks like a fun truck for sure.
Great video,Barrage is pretty worthy on the rocks. I like that your dog trails with you,
Like the Retriever !!! Looks pretty chilled. The trail was good to. Nice scenery 😁😎
Great video, love the mix of music and background noise. ECX looks like a fun little truck, thumbs up!
super production value NICE TRUCK you hAVE SERIOUS driving chops keep it up I LOVE it
Beautiful video, countryside, car and girl
You did a awesomely beautiful build 👍😎❗
The area is beautiful
Great video , Love your pup in the video, Nice course you run on , looks like fun, and yes the end of the video is nice to .
I seen her at the big rc rock crawler fest. It's amazing how many tents she was in and out of. She got around like the truck she plays with. Rock on RC girl, aka Samantha
Looks like a real nice truck.
6:54 best part! RC Girl more you and less truck! :)

Just watched this film...again. Beats any relaxation tape. Well shot, nicely edited, gorgeous scenery, includes dog. Great choice of music.
As always great video. You have pretty much nailed the scale realistic look. Very very great job you may have outdone yourself on this one
Beautifully done video. Really nice trail with the moss everywhere. This truck looks like a good lower cost alternative to the Axial SCX10 for someone new to slow rock type crawls like me. Thanks for the series on this.

This looks quite entertaining nice camera angles good work
Nice rig. Great riding
Very cool. Thanks for the series, Ma'am.
Yeah, nice! 👍😃👍 Good looking Barrage and nice run. 👍😃👍 Good stuff! 👍😃👍
Really nice video thanks for sharing looks like the truck is doing really well after the build keep rocking
Awesome lil adventure trailing with the barrage! Looks like a fun crawl,loving how the backyard course turned out,looks very cool to try,good job👍👍👊👊📹📹
a small tip. cut the bottom of a 2 litter soft drink, dress it up and place it as a spare tyre. the weight removal from the rear of the trx 4 will help very much
Awesome adventure !! Cool place to explore around !! Two thumbs up ! Nice New rig !! Love it 😁 cheer's !!

SUper nice trail run. The Barrage looks pretty sweet. Nice done 👍
Really cool trail run!!👍👍 . Truck came out awsome! Love the trail u built. The bridges and stream crossings are a nice addition 😎!
Awesome video Rc girl. Love the course and the music. the course is challenging enough to learn about the rig and challenge you driving skills. The shed added a wonderful element to the video.
Awesome video very nice rig and trailing great job thumbs up 👍👍
Nice you have an great area for trailing, Barrage looks good.
Great video really nice camera angles Barrage runs really good. Beautiful location as well keep it Rc Girl 👍🏻

Great obstacle course river trail rigs ;D
Great run video,nice trail as well,see you soon
Wow awesome video you made RC Girl. That Barrage looks amazing, keep up with the great work and vids 💪👍👍😎
Lovely truck and funny run!!!
Nice! Consider shooting in 60fps and resolving back to 24. Makes the truck appear heavier and will labor over the obstacles, helping it to feel more real!
Nicely done😃

Well done.
Woooow enjoyed that
awesome video
Woooow...what a beautiful place you have there, and a great trail/crawling track too..And your Golden Retriever has the right colour ..(don`t like the white onse..hehe)..and the Barrage did the job..well i guess the driver did..i enjoyd to watch from here in Norway..
Heyahh, weeeeeeee, love your vids , you do nice work man ,
The staircase @ 1:47 made my grin even bigger, nice driving and what a great feature! (I'm totally using that idea) Your course sure is coming along. I really enjoyed this vid; music, scenery and of course your trusty guest star! I know you're trying out the kit radio, but I kept wanting to crank the throttle expo, it makes smooth slow driving more fun imho.
ah oh, think our girl is getting pretty good at this scale/trail stuff. Setting up the rigs, getting them out skillfully and sharing the moments like a pro. Guess I am going to just have to sport a decal on one or more of my rc's.
I love it
I think I like the coloring of yours better than any I have seen so far ✅ Looked like the stock tires that came with it 🤔 they resemble the BFGoodrich all terrains On our 97 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sahara, pretty much😎👍
Love the barrage ordered one myself actually getting another just a good deal for this one

Yeah he was SOOOO excited during the river run I could barely film haha! He was finally able to settle down though.
Nice run and great area. A set of beadlocks with aggressive tires would make that extremely capable.
Nice video
Your adorable doggo got you a new subscriber lol
Warning: giant monster dog-zilla has been spotted in the area.
Wow nice ride ,i love to river crawl too and put some single stage waterproof foams in my tires because there never suck water no matter how deep i dive.Water can make the tires more heavy and it rolls every time in the deepest point at the tire (only with single stage waterproof foams) .
that was a great video, the truck looks awesome,I finally got mine built but had a bad motor plate hh is taking care of it. got to warm up before I can paint the body anyway, damnit lol
Just seen your videos for the first time. Sub to you. Awesome videos. Looking to add some accessories to my Barrage.
Awesome run @RC_GIRL :)
Awsome
Great set of video`s (love the hair, yeah every one says that), My wife is showing an interest in having a go with my crawler (carisma scale SCA-1e lynx) if she enjoys it figure i will get her this gen 2 barrage kit, build for her and paint it a nice purple as she likes the colour
Nice vid ! LoL at the end :-)
Nice vid, that little rig looks pretty capable or maybe it’s the driver 😀
Schönes Video Grüße aus Deutschland ;-)
lol your old timer dog is like WTF this again
That thing looks so light
nice
My son and I emulated your filming style in a vid we made, though we didn't do nearly as good a job!

He's not very scale, but sure is cute!
Great body modification. Where did you buy the headlight and rear tail light, i want for my barrage too. Thanks great job🤨
Ok so first time sitting through a trail video....must admit I now get why it's such a big part of the RC world. The detail on the rig is amazing as is it's capabilities. Loved it when you drove through the water!!! On a spearate note did you compose the music? I only ask as I saw a guitar in the background in your other vids. If so, wonderful composition.
great choice of music, mixed with the truck sound. It looks a little stiff, but performs pretty well. Are the tires hard? or does it run hard foams? I like to see a little squish in the sidewalls. Though I have to admit, those tires work alot better than I thought they would by looking at 'em. Be careful RC Girl, you could catch the crawler bug, And not want to go fast anymore..lol.
that was a great save at the creek (you almost did an endo). nice video and lovely land reminds me of back home in Illinois. i am quite impressed with the truck it seems quite capable, especially on the obstacle course. i have a question for you, i know you are a speed person so how hard was it for you to be able to drive slow on the trail? did you just want to hammer it and go faster on the straight paths and flat paths?
Very nice video!!!Is this a good buy this crawler? or it is better a vaterra ascend k10.thanks
Well holy shit, thought you retired!
Really love that truck I bought the Gen 1 and I have been trying to get the shocks out board for more travel any tips?

Do you ever run 1.9s on yours, I sometimes put my stock tired and rims off my trx4 sport on mine but I always take them off because I think they look too big.
I don't have a Barrage but I have the cousin RGT almost the same rig. Some of the spec are the same.Did your truck seem a little Ridgid? Some.folk have taken the foam right out of the Falkens and it seems to give it less bouce.

Yeah after this run I gave the tires some negative pressure and sealed the holes with tape... WAY softer and grippy-er. I wish I did that before doing this video, but oh well!!
