I've been doing this for years.. exactly like you did this. I still watched all the way through. You do an excellent job showing people how to do things, the right way. I'm happy to see Horizon getting behind you. You're on your way RC Girl. Keep up the good work

Great job on the build and paint job looking forward to seeing it on the trail

I don't know how I missed this video, not a huge ecx fan but looks great for kids or people new to kits! Once again you do a stellar job!

Your hair looks great, and the paint job is excellent!

Wow it came out awesome, hands down Rc Girl.🙏

Rc Basher Boi thanks!

I have a Gen1 and was happy to see ECX fixed most of the problems the Gen1 had, like moving the shock towers to the outside of the chassis which made it more stable plus allows for a full size steering servo. Replaced the 3-link in the rear with a 4-link. And replaced the 1.9 wheels and 110mm tires that looked out of scale with 1.5's, though I just replaced the stock 1.9 tires with smaller diameter 96mm tires with some nice mud tread and they look good. I've actually been quite happy with the stock 370 motor, it seems to have ample torque for trails and crawling and I don't really care about speed. The biggest performance mod I did was add 5/8ths of an ounce weight on each wheel, that made a big difference with how easily it rolled over. I painted the outside of the body because I like to get scratches in the paint from use. I cut a couple small rectangles from one of those things that hold a bread bag closed, painted them silver and glued them on for door handles. Made a CB antenna for the back bumper from an old guitar E string. And cut the driver side window out because who goes 4-wheelin' with their windows rolled up? And made a simple interior box from a dollar store sandwich box and added a driver.. Eventually I plan to cut the bed off and build a wooden flat bed for it. I wanted to pick up a Gen2 but I've never actually found any place that has one for sale. Horizon just has a thing to enter your zip code to find a store within 350 miles, and told me there was none. And I never could find one online anywhere.

This platform and specs has been booming for a minute glad your putting your touch on it. I've subbed to support the cause great work. Excellent choice for a color looks sweet!

Great video,,you give us backyard crawlers many great ideas an you explain everything very well so I thank u for all your tips 😬

I always smile when I see you posted a new video nice job on the masking and the decals you've got steady hands🤗

Nice job with the paint!!👍 . I still have a hard time with painting body’s . ThankYou for the helpful tips. I like the kit u are building. Looks like a fun truck!! 😎

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing 👊😁👊

Nice job, looking forward to the trail run.

Cool video, that paint job looks awesome, the grill and window smoke tint are a nice touch :) Looking forward to the trailing video!

Great video,very informative,even though I don't own one ,you show the characteristic of the truck thoroughly,keep up the great vids

Great job came out really nice

Love the idea with the front grill. I took carpet tape one time and made it have a scaly look for my buggy

Sick job awesome paint job

Awesome!! I learned a ton from this so neat!!!!

Great Job!! Looks Awsome!! Subscribed!👍

Great paintjob..thumbs up..

Sicko! I’ve been looking for a dark green thanks for the demo.

Super great job.

I like it. For the price of this kit, it builds into a nice truck for someone looking to enter the hobby. Lots of good info in this video. Your body turned out great, umm, I mean the barrage body. Like the hair cut. Looking forward to the next video to see how it runs.

Cool! Thanks!

CLEAN!!! :)

Hi RC Girl you did an amazing job building your Barrage kit. That paint job you did on the Barrage bodie is amazing. Can't wait to see you out with this truck crawling on your course. Keep up doing the great videos that you make. That is one very cool looking rig💪👍👍😎

Good job on that paint. Love the color. RC ya later

Dang that body looks sweet! Nice paint job! I have a Tamiya Clodbuster kit to build for my very first kit and I'm excited to build it. I'm still waiting on my transmitter to show up so then I can start the build. Hopefully it will be here soon.

Well done rc girl . The smoke is one of the hardest colours to paint, it runs very easy. you can also use the clear film as a mask and paint the bed n the outside for a semi gloss effect.

I am so glad i found your channel. i am a new person getting into this hobby... what kind of soap would you recommend? Would Dawn be fine to use?

That looks awesome. For the final reveal it looks like the truck bed was textured. You mentioned you wanted spray it with something matte, what did you end up using to make it look like that? I look forward to seeing videos of it on the trail!

I Hurd Duratrax paint is more flexible than Tamiya paint. In my opinion more flexibility=better basher body.

:D

Another great video, thanks RCGirl! If You have scale crawler tyres that are a bit to hard, try «Grip tyre softener»; griptyresoftener.com. It’s made for carting and full scale racing but works great for RC too. Just remember NOT to use it in competitions, that would be cheating ;-) I have used it on both crawlers and touring cars and it works great after some testing.

Heard back from them - "There isn’t a kit you can buy to convert it but you could buy all the parts individually, but by the time you are done buying them individually you might as well just buy a GEN2! Especially the Doomsday… its 149.99 right now!"

Nice!
