I'd love to do that, too. I'm operating on much more lean time constraints currently than in previous times. It'll pass in a few more months, but in the meantime, I'll keep making videos - just without quite the same time investment. It's a compromise, but it means I can make videos! Thanks for the feedback, I hear ya.

21:25 looks like we got a 7th problem there mate 😅🤨😑 cool truck but yeah, this feels like little billy's second RC truck he picked out in the shop cuz it had steer in the back. that is wild they let the esc/brownout issue pass QC with 4ws, even my furitek on my trx4m does this, but only when you steer quickly

@RCTNT

Bit of a hodge podge of parts, this one! I think a BEC or even just a few caps will solve the brownout issue, at least. It's an odd machine. Capable enough, though.

Looks like a nice truck, but I agree about the cycling through the steering settings. I've only ever had one 1/10 scale crawler with 4ws, and that was a Gmade R1. I coundnt afford to get a radio where I could blend the steering, so had it running through a Dumbo radio, on the 3 position switch. So much easier!! Maybe a candidate to try an ISDT ESC90? I hope your dog is OK, and gets well soon. 👍🏻

Totally right, it needs a better esc. I'll have a rummage through the parts bin and see what's here. Dog is getting there, thank you. Got a way to go, but she's very young so she has all that growth factor to help with healing. She'll be right.

There is another ftx tracer, it's a little 1/16, basher, also those baja tyres also come as stock on rgt Rescuer, check out the tyres on yours, hope your lovely beautiful crazy dog gets better soon🤔👍

Oh nice. This is an interesting rig, I've been looking at it. Closely!

My RGT Recuer (same electronics) almost burnt down last week. It slowed down, then started billowing smoke, I quickly pulled out the battery. Either the motor or the ESC shorted, they're both burnt now. This discharged a nearly full 5000mah 3s pack to 50% in a few seconds so that might be toast as well. I don't think the ESC in these is actually a 1060 made by HobbyWing.

@RCTNT

It does appear to be a 1060, but it could be a clone. It's hard to tell. Sorry that happened, I'm glad you didn't lose your rig!

Your description of it was exactly what most of us where probably thinking I saw this Crawler a few years ago & was definitely interested so I started researching it & found out it had axle issues you couldn’t repair mind you it was a few years ago but the motor hanging out & some of the basic things like geometry length height etc. was kind of unusual. You want to like it but what exactly is it build to be? It’s an interesting one I’m dying to see you take it out for a test.

@RCTNT

Test coming soon! It's hard to say what rgt had in mind when designing it, yeah.

I'm gonna go with 100% not thread locked. I have had the RGT EX86100 Pro for some years now, carbon fiber rails and metal axle housing and all sorts for metal and carbon fiber parts out of the box. The first thing I had to do, before even running it, was thread lock _all_ the screws!

Money talks, I guess!

After some issues with different RTR's, I'd rather have to go through the car and put threadlock on the screws, then having stripped screw threads that causes big issues to get the garantie parts. That stresses me out. for me no more rtr's, and if yes, then it would be RC4WD which is known for having not tightened screws, which I now prefer. But the companies should mention the threadlock issue.

Can extend the upper links and the steering would benefit up front too, at least for crawling. But yes, would be better with some freedom on the caster! Doggo doing okay, we're not through yet but she's getting there! Thanks Andy.

Great vid! If you have a moment could you tell me what radio you are using for thumb steering on your rear steer? I've been using a GT5 with 3D printed steering wheel/ knobs. But I'd like to try one with a thumb knob/ dial. 🍺 Cheers from Utah!

After seeing you run it I would not buy it & just like you I’m of saying it’s performance is terrible but it’s got a whole lot going on. And it’s definitely not for a beginner I can only imagine how upset they would be when it stops running & lacks solid performance. You can’t expect that beginners are going to have the ability to keep it running that’s why you buy RTR’s it’s like plug & play if someone wanted a project they would buy a kit. And RC enthusiast who already have Crawlers it’s like where does it fit in & I don’t need to spend $ on another RTR you have to repair.
