The best thing about your channel... Is simple and very well explained. Thank you very much sir and have a nice day
Just ordered this as my first crawler. Thanks for your detailed videos man!! Just gonna get a better lipo battery
WOW!! 🤩👍🏼 great price point for a RTR 1/12 trail truck!
Great looking truck, good demo runs! I don't think you could go wrong with all the Reedy stuff on board!
Hi Brett, awesome review man, this is an amazing wee rig straight out of the box and it’s a proper rtr with everything included to get you up and running, which is why this will make an amazing Christmas 🎄 pressy. Loved this video Brett, the rc performed perfectly right out of the box 📦. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
I totally missed this one! On my radar now !!
Always enjoy your content. I bought this truck almost a year ago It's definitely not "all new", anyway, love the channel keep the videos coming!

Looks like a great little truck Cheers Bret.
Yeah, I'm probably about to pull the trigger and order one of these Tioga trucks. It's more to it than just my liking it. My hometown is Tioga, Louisiana. I came across this little truck by chance and I consider it to be a sign. I have to own it.
I had the one before this one and the diff housing was quite large but it did perform great on the trail and in the mud
Always had or delt with Walmart RC’s cars lol but wanted something a little more and so I went to my local RC shop last week and for my first RC I can say I picked up one of these and I love this truck. Best purchase Iv made on a RC crawler!!

Can you go over the new red cat lowrider that just got released because i want to know if it is worth how much it is
which in your opinion is a better truck for The money, this CR12 or Remo 1093-ST. The price point is only $5 difference at this time.
Just got back into rc vehicles after almost 20 years. I am a retired Army Veteran. My first truck was a Bezgar HM123 which a buddy and I decided to to get 2 so we could race and jump and do truck therapy(I was in a VA hospital getting treatment and counseling for TBI). Then once I was home I got a real truck Arrma Big Rock. Over 20 years ago my first truck was a Tamiya Blackfoot, then a tamiya 4WD rally car, then a Team associated RC10T. Now that I am back into the hobby I want to do another kit. What one should I do first? Thinking either a crawler or a 4WD buggy

Congrats for getting back into it Todd! A lot has changed but mostly for the better. For a kit, a crawler is a great idea. Crawler builds can be as simple or fancy as you want, while also containing sub hobbies within it, like the scale realistic modeling side, or the custom weathering/paint work or maybe even tube cage fabrication. It's pretty wild but has a lot to offer. -Brett

@AMain_Hobbies

For the Tioga? Not really, it's pretty well setup out of the box. You can try the LiPo battery we talked about in the video for extra runtime and climbing performance, but it's not necessary. The Tioga is a great little truck. After a while of running it and gaining experience, you'll find things to modify or change. I recommend you save your money for when that time comes, and enjoy the Tioga the way it is. There is no rush. Enjoy your awesome r/c truck! -Brett

Hey Kirby. They're tires that came included with another truck, but you can buy them separately although they need to be assembled.

Hello, just a question to make a decision about my first scaler: this one that costs a little bit more but seems to be better equipped out of the box or the newer Axial SCX24 Bronco? Thank you very much.
@AMain_Hobbies
2 жыл бұрын
The Tioga is more capable because it's a larger size, has larger tires, has more ground clearance, etc; it's 1/12 scale vs 1/24 scale. On the other hand, the SCX24 has a massive amount of hop-ups and accessories for customization, where the Tioga has almost nothing. The right truck for you depends on your goals and what you want to do with it. Hope that helps. -Brett
@SINNER_01
2 жыл бұрын
As for the SCX24... I don't have the Bronco but I do have the Jeep Gladiator. So far, I've swapped the stock 88T motor for the Injora 66T. Brass steering knuckles and brass differential covers from Coda Racing. Pro-Line Hyrax tires with some El cheapo aluminum beadlocks. Injora adjustable shocks, and today... the Emax steering servo with the Injora aluminum mounting plate and servo horn. I intend to swap bumpers in the near future. So, I basically said ALL that to say this: the SCX24 has so many accessories, I consider it to be the Barbie of the RC world. So far, I have the longest wheelbase of the Axial 24s. Sometimes it helps, and sometimes it doesn't. It's really all up to the operator. I love my baby Jeep. I love my big, ol International Scout II (Redcat Gen8 V2)

That's disappointing to hear. So many great RCs have been let down by manufacturers cutting corners in the drivetrains. Losi Mini LST, Traxxas Stampede/EMaxx, etc, etc. And I'm not talking about highly modified vehicles. Stock parts that can't handle basic use are a heartbreaker for users and turn so many people off from the hobby. If you abuse the vehicle, expect to break parts. If you twist and break driveshafts from regular use under stock power, your vehicle is useless. I've seen some manufacturers moving towards using their 1/8 scale race vehicle drivetrains, but they only do it in the most expensive/complex vehicles.

T. Wallace very well said I agree 100% if I would have upgraded it I would expect failure eventually but running it stock and not very hard I was definitely let down and disappointed they make very good trucks just not this one and you are right once again I've been in the hobby for years so I expect this sometimes but for someone just getting into the hobby it would definitely let them down if not turn them away . 👍
Body is not sitting level on the frame. Looks Tilted.
First of all these are not new at all. Heck they where old when tm released the first cr12. Just like the e24 is a rgt v2 clone the cr12 is a thunder tiger clone. Also you should mention these all have very weak almost glass plastic gears. My buddy got the original thunder tiger for about half the price. 👊🙂
