Thank You for the comparison, im new to the Hobby, i got the 10ii Jeep Cherokee one month ago at Amain. Working on getting lights on it, liked your other videos on upgrades. Thanks for the details.

I kind of expected the 10.2 to do better than the 10.3, but wow! I have both of my 10.2's set up so the servo is up front and the battery pack lays flat. Better at crawling with no added mods. A little brass up front and it would be a beast!

Well after watching your 10iii vids I think the next big brand crawler I'll be adding our fleet will be the element sendero . We have a gen7 portal truck ,gen7, e10, gen8 , 10.1, 10.2 ,tlt1, cr01, trx4 . Toss up lately with us has been 10iii , element, gmade bom,.

right on. that is our objective

Just subscribed nice channel! So I have a tip for everyone. My opinion most simple and best mod is wheels and rims. But not just that’s. You wrap metal model train weights around your rim then mount your tires. Gives you amazing low weight. My SCX10.1 has two sets wrapped in the front and one in the back but I run the battery in the rear. I have aluminum bottom links and alum servo link and horn. With everything else stock with a 12inch wheel base . Thing crawls rocks better then these guys that have been in the hobby for years w mods. I’m still a noob and learning but I’m telling you train weights give it that perfect low weight to a light chassis. (Make sure you leave wheels elevated or they will get flat spots.)

Very nice comparison man 👍 I have been around the 2 unimog kit and it’s surprising. Went mostly like %97 places I went with same tires in this vid on my trx4 and his all stock. I had plastic bead locks wheel weights and Pyrex tires. It would start to wheelhop a little and bounce up and over about anything lol I would weigh the wheels but I wonder if that would hurt it the way it hops 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Already have a SCX10 II with the Element RC IFS conversion. Running a Raptor body on it and a Solid front axle didn't look right since the Raptor runs IFS on the front.

Really not sure how to approach this, but I suppose that for those coming into the tiny truck scene that this is informative. Perhaps my learning curve has been steeper than I presumed, a stable full of various manufacturers and styles I am sure helped me in forming my own, and in agreement with your review. Currently I am assembling my SCX10.3, I have rough trail rigs, or over built trail rigs you might call them and from the initial release I knew that this was never going to be one of my best performing trucks. What I lacked and anticipate that this release will satisfy is that trail cruiser, like you said "its the body".

@RCReviewChannel

Yes, agreed. This is the baseline. And there will be many, many opportunities to improve crawling performance. Many think the 10.3 will crawl like a spider since it has all the latest features. This is more a reality check.

I am going to wait for the 10 IIIV2

My SCX11 is my best crawling truck. Definitely better than my TRX4 Defender. I've done most of the upgrades you recommended long before this came out. Few though I haven't done. The Esc and motor also not sure if you said these but haven't done the wheel weights yet,that I'm aware of been awhile since I broke it out. Does have all steel bead locks. Always first up grade, wheels and tires. Well say great review and comparison video. I really respect your opinion on things. Your doing a great job!

Another awesome video analysis Francis👍 I have the SCX10 ii 1969 Chevy Blazer and love it. With regards to SCX10 iii, I’m still not sure, will wait and see if they do a ‘sport’ style which would be enticing as a kit without that Jeep body or two speed.

Жыл бұрын

Best of both worlds.

Own both. 10.2 is heavier upfront due to placement of battery pack. On the 10.2 literally everything is up front if you’re running the kit transmission and not the old three gear. Your motor, servo, battery and transmission are all up front. Only thing towards the middle is all the electronics. The 10.3 has the disadvantage of having a higher height due to portal axles which gives it a higher center of gravity in relation to centerline plus it moves the battery (in most cases the heaviest weight) to the rear which throws off weight balance. The 10.2 was the best platform they ever released and horizon Hobbyvilla screwed it up. I swapped out my portals for their straight axle conversion kit. Unfortunately due to the design there’s nowhere to mount a battery up front. All you can do to counteract it is to use a heavier weight oil in the rear along with stiffer springs

I’m considering that Blazer body for my TRX4 Sport as I’ve heard it fits rather well

@RCReviewChannel

A good video comparing what they can do. Seems like the III sacrificaes a pinch of performance for portals & better scale looks. But as to which one is better? That's completely subjective. The answer is, and should be, "Which one will put a bigger smile on your face when you're driving?" That's the answer to which is better... Choose accordingly ;)

In stock form, the III is a better trail crawler. It has better ground clearance, more planted, looks better. For technical rock crawling, the II is better. Both can be modified to death, but I think their lead will not change.

It's not that good. We have it on our Capra and our VS4-10 Pro. The Capra is so weak and cannot be activated under power. The Vanquish is way better and usable in an on-demand momentary button. It avoids some three point turns. On very tight courses, it can be useful too since the vehicle can be pointed more easily. But it's a whole new skillset that can lead to a lot of errors and fails until used perfectly.

I own both with similar upgrades on each. And in my personal experience with them The .2 beats the .3 on trails and on the rocks. Hardly anyone uses dig on trails and the 2 speed tranny is stupid in any scenario. Just my opinion.

So many “experts” here.... stock puts my SCX10ii to shame. You don’t need to run dig or two speed. Light years above

@RCReviewChannel

Dig is not that useful so far. It really doesn't allow harder lines to be cleared. And more opportunities to make driving errors. And the 10 iii dig won't really work under power. Our Vanquish VS4-10 dig is more useful. Fun to play with but at a weight and complexity cost.
