This is why we are so fond of Peter the Pointer. A tale of redemption.. Peter the pointer wasn't always a beacon of childish amusement. No, his past was shrouded in a darkness deeper than the forgotten corners of a classroom closet. Once, he was known as "The Claw," a monstrous appendage on the arm of a cruel teacher named Ms. Gnaw. Ms. Gnaw wielded Peter with relish, his crimson paint a chilling reminder of past detentions. He'd seen countless childhood dreams squashed under her bony finger, directed by Peter's unyielding point. Spelling errors, forgotten homework, whispered jokes - all met the cold judgment of The Claw. One day, a particularly rambunctious student named Timmy, in a fit of defiance, launched a spitball. It found its mark, landing squarely on The Claw, staining the red a sickly green. Ms. Gnaw, in a rage unlike any witnessed before, ripped Peter from her arm and flung him into the janitor's closet. Years passed, filled with dust bunnies and forgotten mops. Peter despaired, his cruel purpose seemingly over. Then, one fortuitous day, a cleaning crew unearthed him. They found his story amusing, the injustice he represented a relic of a bygone era. And so, Peter found himself reborn. He was refurbished, his red a cheery fire engine hue, and placed in the eager hands of Phil, a young man with a booming voice and an even bigger passion for RC cars. On Phils KZread channel, Peter became a symbol of excitement. He pointed at speeding cars, wacky builds, and Phil's collection of motors and esc's. Children, instead of cowering, laughed as Peter directed their attention to the latest epic RC car. Peter, the once dreaded Claw, was finally free. He was a guiding hand in a world of joy, a testament to the power of redemption, and a silent reminder that even the darkest of objects can find a purpose in the light. Now, with each point, Peter didn't just direct attention, he pointed towards a brighter future, a future filled with laughter and the thrill of the RC race.

Someone like PayPal will back you if it's fraud, so maybe it's worth a try. Let's me know how it goes! 😂

I got the RGT branded one a couple of weeks back as i wanted the Green one, and have to say its awesome truck with a really good radio, im running mine with a home made 4200mah 2S Li-ion pack as this keeps the weight down over the rear, the body shell feels a little weak but i look after my trucks, yes this is a very good rig, and having clear windows with a scale interior is really showing Traxxas up, well done on you for donating the spare one

With that steering angle, you should put some drift tyres on it and take it to the car park.

This is a great looking rig might grab one of these when they are on some sort of sale

My RGT pro runner came with plastic main gear I upgraded it to the tracker metal gear. I also printed a spacer for motor to get gears to align better

The difference in RTR from now and four years ago is pretty impressive. Just think about how much better low speed control on rigs has gotten to allow you to be able to do some tech crawling right out of the box. I think that's the most impressive part of not only this but a lot of new rigs.

is this the same as new RGT Bronco?

Very oddly specific video... I was just looking for a Raptor Bronco style body, or even RTR but didn't come up with much except a one off design from a store I didn't really trust and then you posted this! We just got a blue Bronco Raptor and wanted to build a replica, they nailed the blue one as best they could considering the price

Great work, my friend. That really is a nice, capable truck. For the money you can’t lose

A great crawler for the money! Looks absolutely awesome! Hope they’re available in Australia.

I wish you can compare it with other Bronco Body, like the HB R1001 & TRX4. Im sure it will be great vids

Axial did this basically with the scx10.3 where you could make the transmission have a dig or 2 spd or both I think I’m not sure but that’s what I do know also has portals and just need to add a winch

What upgrades can you do like battery servo ......

FMS is coming along but they still lack the aftermarket support for upgrades or changes, or pulling a Traxxas and having a bunch of upgrades themselves.

Nice, but I'd trade in the dig for locking diffs and I would rather not have steering on axle. Otherwise I like it.

What is the best ftx crawler

Looks like a quality rc.

How do you get one servo to work on two channels???

Exact same transmission as the GMADE. Except for the dig.

Am I wrong in thinking FTX and Redcat are essentially the same? So if we get a redcat Gen9, then we get one of these with a different body setup?

TRX4 killer definitely!

I believe in you you would have used dig on that really steep vertical it would probably would have pulled it

Us Americans can have these! Well, the Americans who are smart lol. I go through Asia Tee and have the RGT rescuer and a couple others! I love RGT!
