When you have to record a build and plan a video etc.. it’s way more work than just building. I can imagine doing the build with no pressure to complete would actually be a bit more satisfying

I'm all for the model building portion, even if it takes weeks. But an internal driveline failure with gentle, mostly flat surface driving? That is truly unacceptable for the price. This video literally put me off from this purchase, clearly precision Chinesium engineering at work lol It's bit surprising, as other Cross RC models are pretty top notch.

The negligence of the designer does not detract from the skill of the builder. Very nice project, have been looking forward to seeing the final video and i wasn't disappointed. Bravo Phil

Awesome project mate, can't wait to see it really finished! Its so refreshing to see someone like yourself, the expert, tackling a decent project. The "here's the latest RC" video's are enormously useful to buyers, but most of us are only buyers once or twice a year, if we're lucky. The rest of the time we're either building what we bought, or modifying what we bought. To see you hitting problems with a project and seeing how you tackle those problems, it's not only enormously useful, but it's reassuring to see even the experts hit problems.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback. I enjoy opening a fresh new RC Car, but I'm also getting bored of the same thing over and over again. I have a nice list of projects, including some scratch built stuff, so hoping to get some more interesting stuff out over the next few months

That is just insane. Gorgeous build, but nothing I'd ever consider owning. Thanks for the honest showing, super impressive work you did.

Thank you, Phil, for going through the anguish so that we don't have to. You've neatly highlighted the design and packaging flaws while letting us share some of the pleasure of playing with something which demands so much money, time and effort.

The problem is, it’s fixed on the chassis. So to make it move you have to remove the main support bars. So although it’ll lift up and down, it’ll not have anything to support it other than the winch lines

I'm an experienced model builder and can share the way I paint stuff. I generally pre-paint body panels, then scrape the paint off only where glue is to be applied at contact points. It's critical for proper adhesion of parts. Some things, such as that visor that scootched down on you, I'd use cyanacrylate cement (super glue) for instant adhesion. That rig looks great on camera, good job.

That thing is an absolute monster! It makes the CrossRC 8x8 look tiny in comparison!! With all the issues you're having, it's almost like the company has never built one of them, themselves!! Giving it to someone and telling them, "build this, and tell us what the problems are", rather than having customers facing those issues would surely be a business plan? Either way, it's awesome, and watching the build videos has been fun. Can't wait to see the carnage at EAST!! 😎👍🏻

Super glue/crazy glue is your friend when it comes to bonding painted parts. You can also scrap off the paint from the points of bonding with an xacto knife, then glue. Regular model glue, as you now know, won't cut it.

It's really gorgeous and so much work. Don't forget the speed run.

The soft hose is definitely most of, if not all of the problem with your hyd pressure. On a real machine the hose is steel braided to eliminate as much expansion as possible and they use pipe for long runs

This has been an amazing build. I admire your patience. It looked great outside running. You've probably consider this. I know in the UK they have meets or shows where people bring out their large scale trucks and drive them around. I think this would be a big hit at one of those. This a great project.

2:18 one tip for an indoor paint booth, if you have a box fan even better but an overspray extractor can be a shop vac with a bag. The overspray will stick to the bag and not everywhere. If you want to get rid of the fumes you could use a charcoal filter or an N95 mask filter. One thing about the shopvac that you have to watch for: flame outs. The motors spark and if you get fume build up WOOSH (ask me how I know? haha)

I got a tip for the body fixation you worry about the fact that they are just glued on. Now they are glued, you can weld them. If you got the plastic mold where the part was fixed, then take some of the "plastic tube" and use it as a solder. Use a soldering iron and smelt the plastic of the body and the body fixation and add some platic to it (not to hard to not go through). I used to do this for fixing the part that need to be glued in a hole. if the hole is through, the I smelt the two part to weld them. It's way more efficient than glue but it can be a problem since it cannot be detach, if the part got to more hit, it broke instead of just getting loose.

Ez paint glue fix. Use small pieces of tamiya tape on areas that will need parts glued on before painting the shell. This leaves bare area of cured paint underneath the trim pieces..

You've done a great job with this build, and I've got to say it doesn't look like an easy one!! But it does look really awesome and I can't wait to see the final product. And I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you have gone through to try and film the whole process. Awesome content 💯💯💯

Brilliant review genuine hard graft there. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve built some hydraulic Rc stuff and you definitely need nylon tubing for the high pressure side, the pressure will blow anything less over time and performance will improve with the nylon tubing on the high pressure side.

I use a 3m product at work called DP6310ns. It's a 2 part urethane adhesive that has a 10 minute work time and is super strong. That would have worked a treat on this project. This is a killer project though and to be honest, I absolutely love it's own mechanical sound. Still interested to hear what it sounds like with the sound box.

The truck is absolutely fun to drive and built. There is a lot of modifications that has to be done. The hydraulic system also took me a while to do.

cut a hole in a cardboard box and stick a hair dryer in it. Put the box over the parts and turn on the hair dryer. Parts dry in minutes.

For models I try to glue as much as possible and paint it masked off. Some times you have to scratch the paint off to glue fiddly bits.

That front scoop would be good if you were making a course because then it would kind of help level off the areas for the other vehicles that can’t quite make it that would be cool. Use it like a tool.
