@robpracht9303 hello, thanks for tuning in. Yes, I'm sure you could use the dial knob for winch control. I totally agreed with you on the winch winding speed to be in scale. I default to the winch remote control because I have already used up all the channels for the 2 speed, front and rear lock diffs, etc. If you have a high count channel receiver, you could easily control the winch as well as the lightings on the transmitter. I don't think the RC6GS will have enough channel buttons to accommodate that, so maybe a different transmitter with a multi channel receiver will suffice. The Dumbo RC has a coloured screen transmitter with 10 channels receiver, which will definitely meet your requirements. Hope this helps! 😉👍🏼

@PESCAZA si, there is definitely a way to change those buttons to "click to engage". It should be easy it find within the channel settings. 😊👍🏼

@KiKaThGoAlLoOfAlDeNuEvInThWo hello there, Merry Christmas!! If you would like to see the display case in complete darkness, go to my youtube channel page, then click on "community", keep scrolling down until a year ago, you will see quite a lot of photos where I have taken the photos in a completely dark room. I have also removed the clear casing to avoid the reflection. The LEDs are fairly bright, the cars will glow if you choose to display them inside the casing in complete darkness. Let me know if those photos answered your question, if not, I will try and find time to record a video after Christmas. 🎅🏻🎄👍🏼

@jjshobbypower9091 Ok thanks.

@johnmarkesteban5850 Hello there! I just took mine out of the cupboard, free standing from foot to head tip antennas is about 19 to 19.5cm. The wing are movable, so if you position them very high, it could reach over 30cm, but mine with the position you see is about 23 to 24cm. You could tip the wings higher and it will measure more than 24cm. Hope this helps! 😊👍🏼

@jjshobbypower9091 thanks a lot

@johnmarkesteban5850 you are welcome. If you like the MG Freedom Gundam, then take a look at my other video of the In Era+ Thunderbolt. It is slightly bigger than the MG Freedom, but it looks better, and the plastic quality is better also. You will also like the internal frame, I have a separate video to show the inner frame too, it is amazing. This is a 3rd party kits which I would strongly recommend over the Bandai MG kit. Take a look if you are not just into Bandai Gundam. I used to be a loyal fan to Bandai, but after I tried the In Era+ kit, I am happy to explore 3rd party kits. The In Era+ Thunderbolt remains one of the best gundam kits I have ever built in my life, and I know the version 2 of the Thunderbolt will be available soon. The 1st version that I have built is pink/purple colour with white armours, the 2nd version will be mainly white with red, yellow ans blue parts. Google the version 2 and you will see the differences. Have fun building your model kit, whichever kit you have decided to buy at the end. 😊👍🏼

@@PESCAZA thank you very much. Hope you found the video contents useful. 😊👍🏼

@S1k18 Thanks for tuning in. Nice tune up you have ordered for the rig. The 2255 servo is about 28kg torque and works at 6.0/7.4V, so a 2s LiPo will work right away. In regards to the Traxxas light kit, I assume you have the full set that covers the wheel wells, head and tail lights, top light bar? The original Traxxas XL5 will definitely require the BEC, as I tested it myself, otherwise there's not enough power for the servo. With your Hobbywing ESC, are you referring to the Hobbywing Fusion Quicrun 2in1, Fusion SE or Fusion Pro? If it is one of the above, then you will be fine, as all three Fusion combo above are with built-in BEC. The Fusion Quicrun 2in1 and the Fusion SE both support BEC Output of 6V/7.4V, 4A (6A Peak). The Fusion Pro supports BEC Output of 6V/7.4V, 6A. I have the Fusion Quicrun 2in1 1800kV in the Defender, I run it with 2s LiPo as I like the slow speed and don't really need the punch to jump the rig, I like the scale crawl. Even with the 2s, it works absolutely fine with the lighting kit on, driving with full speed, as well as running the front winch. I also have the Fusion SE 1200kV and the Fusion Pro 2300kV on my other competition rigs. I personally think the Fusion Pro is the best. The Quicrun 2in1 and SE are very similar. Just that the Quicrun 2in1 has a slightly higher top speed than the SE (1800kV vs 1200kV). Hope this helps. 😊👍🏼

@GameKnight404 hey, welcome to the gunpla hobby, and thank you for watching the video. Hope you like the RX-78 i built. This HG RX-78 is a good kit, however, it looks good when it is airbrushed, which is what I have done. If you don't have airbrush as yet, then try my other technique of polishing the parts to give that matt finish look. Watch my other video of the EG Nu Gundam (V Gundam) and you will see the result. If it is going to be your first Gunpla, the EG is the easiest kit to built and doesn't really require cutting tools like nippers etc, as you could just twist the parts out from the runner. However, if you find the EG is too easy, then starting with a HG is a good idea too, build a couple of them, and then if you prefer to see more details, then pick a kit from the "Full Mechanic", then move onto "Master Grade MG". Get some practice, and by then if you are up for bigger challenge, go for the "Perfect Grade PG". It is easier to learn your way and techniques through this path, so that you don't run before learning how to walk. Once you are experienced with building Gunpla, then try out the Master Grade Extreme MGEX, or other 3rd party gunpla like "In Era+ Thundeebolt" or "Motor Nuclear Ao Bing" as well as the other models. This hobby is endless, and there will always be new kits coming out. Hope you will find this useful. Feel free to ask me any questions any time. I am here to help. 😊👍🏼

@RCRoads hey buddy, I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Your kind words are greatly appreciated. The RYFT is an amazing rig. It is strange with the receiver access not being easy access, that I'm not totally sure why they have done that. It is capable of running with 2s, 3s and 4s. My personal favourite is with the 3s, totally manageable and it is fun. Running 4s is purely for the speed to kick up dust and dirt, but it is too wild. My opinion is to add the additional sway bar to stop the torque twist for 3s and 4s. Some people would run it with 2s, and use it as Crawler. The RYFT has (front, middle, rear) differentials, so locking the diffs will definitely help when crawling, otherwise, leave all 3 differentials as opened as use it as a rock bouncer. Either way is fun and I'm sure you will enjoy it. 😊👍🏼

@@jjshobbypower9091 Thanks so much for all the great insight into the Ryft. I have been wanting one for a while and have already purchased some parts. It's probably going to cost a fortune to put one together piece by piece but I'm trying to go with conservative upgrades. Aluminum axels and center diff. I'm not sure if I'll go with the Ryft cage at first but hopefully it will work out. I'll just take my time and enjoy.

@@jjshobbypower9091 Thanks for the info about the diffs. I think running on 3s would be perfect and probably less strain on the drivetrain. Exocaged RC put them on the rear and front and it really helped with the twist action. I will have to wait a while until I get mine going but hopefully some parts will be under the Christmas tree. Hopefully I can assemble everything properly.

@jaibir2126 thanks for tuning in. You don't have to add any red colour to be honest, it looks rather nice with the white body. Of course, you could always paint the front and rear cowls, as well as the side fairings to the signature Ducati colours (corsa red, yellow, black etc). As mentioned in the video, I have two set of this Ducati Panigale S kit, so the 2nd set I will be doing the engine detailing as well as airbrushing the body to something like a gun metal colour, just my personal preference. 😊👍🏼

@ do you know where I can a extra fairing for the bike?

Like the big piece

@jaibir2126 you should be able to get the fairing as spare parts directly from Tamiya. I have done that previously with a different model kit, as one of the parts came broken when unboxing.

@@jjshobbypower9091could you share a link?

No, not at all. The kit comes with pre-moulded colour sprues. The colour separation is done from different colour parts. I only did a light polishing on the body to give the matt finish look, but you don't have to do it. It looks good from straight build. 😊👍🏼

@eliselis4367 grey is a nice colour too, but at the time of the video recording, the grey version was not in stock, so I have left it. Having the other 3 colours in my collections is more than enough. 😅

@@ThumbofEpicness thank you so much for your support!! It is very much appreciated. 👍🏼

@@redvikinghobbies thanks man. It has been a while. 😅😄 How have you been?

@jjshobbypower9091 Hanging in there. So busy with my boys football and auch I haven't had time to do videos! Miss it!

@@redvikinghobbies ah.. I see.. good luck.. family always come first. Look forward to seeing your next video!! 😀👍🏼

@stuartgc8950 hi Stuart, thanks for your support, and I'm glad you found the video useful. I believe the receiver box is from Modelsport.co.uk, here is a direct link I found just now, the parts number is TRX8224. You might find it cheaper on EBay or Amazon etc. www.modelsport.co.uk/product/traxxas-trx-4-receiver-box-sealed-421077

Sorry, just realised I gave you the wrong link last time. Please see below link, the extended receiver box comes with the Traxxas BEC kit. www.modelsport.co.uk/product/435331?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgJa6BhCOARIsAMiL7V9FddGAXVrgjo9kFps_EniwbB1LcQWp3Bps8abxvrjbpfgJ3sN467YaAjjuEALw_wcB

Thank you.

@JawZz hi there, I have just checked on mine. When I pulled back the top rail and lock in position with the side button, the front barrel is a bit loose, but when the top rail is released back to the normal position, everything is nicely and tightly fastened, the barrel also gets locked into position and shouldn't move. I guess it is just the way the airsoft Glock 18 is designed. Hope this helps. 😊👍🏼

@@jjshobbypower9091 preciate your quick and prompt detailed response..💯 the fact that you also actually cross checked your own model to compare too.. I'll be hitting that subscribe button..🙏🏽

@@JawZz thanks, glad I could help. 😊

@@nhutminh9290 totally agree with you there. Spot on!! 😊👍🏼

@Charlie-ve3ou no, not at all. I have this model 3 times (black, white and blue), all their rear view mirrors are nicely attached. I don't have issue with them at all. They are still there. I touched the blue one the most, and the rearview mirror is still attached. Hope this helps. 😊👍🏼

@@jjshobbypower9091 Thank you for your feedback, it will be one of the reasons for my purchase

@Charlie-ve3ou no problem at all, you are most welcome. It is important to get as much information about the model before making the purchase. The Honda Civic Type R is a solid model, all three of them are still solid in my cupboard. My blue one and the black one are perfect. The white one has some glue marks at the front number plate, but I managed to exchange it, so it is all good. Good luck with your purchase! 😊👍🏼

@@jjshobbypower9091 Thank you for letting me get important information before buying. I wish you a smooth unboxing：）

@@Charlie-ve3ou thank you so much!!

@yeyus8679 imagine we could capture light, we would save so much electricity. 🤭👍🏼

@MxThrIl yes they do, they all have their own individual suspension. The rear suspensions you can see the full suspension arms moving. Watch from 24min 24 second, you will see how they move. 👍🏼

@wolfe1970 it is a good hobby to be in. We can be creative and customise our own rigs for various performance. Good to gather together for a chat too. 😊👍🏼

@@ImperialDiecast thanks. I do love the candy apple red on the AUTOart model. They just look fabulous, especially under the LED lights. 😊👍🏼

@@perohijo thanks buddy, glad you like the video and find it useful. I never replace the differential or gear shift servos, so unfortunately I haven't figured out the end points for them, but someone must have posted a video on KZbin explaining how to set them. I have no issue with the 3 micro servo, they are still working fine as we speak. I have however purchased the official Traxxas replacement differential cables just in case they break, but so far I'm still using the one that came with the TRX-4 Defender. The front and rear differential cables are of different length, so make sure you get the right one for the correct end. If I come across a video teaching how to set the end points, I will post another reply below this message. 😊👍🏻

@@gaveintothedarkness thank you very much! 😊

Thanks! Glad you like my car. I had it for a few years already. 😊

@@jjshobbypower9091 , algún día lo tendre 😊😜

@Dreamteamrc83 it is a very fun rear wheel drive car. It has a 3.7 litre V6 engine, it is nice to drive.

Thank you very much, Andy. I'm glad you liked the video, hope it was entertaining. 😊👍🏼

Thank you so much for your support!! I will be reviewing more model cars very shortly, been side tracked with other models recently, but more model cars to come. 😊👍🏼

Are you referring to the head unit conversion or the actual mobile suit? The head unit conversion is about £5. The mobile suit is about £60.

@@jjshobbypower9091 thankyou 😁

​@juusugoi Sorry, I forgot to inform you where to get the In Era+ Thunderbolt and the head unit conversion. I bought them from HobbyZoneUK. 😊👍🏼

Thank you!! How are you guys? 😊🤗

Yes, the "Gundam" head does look good, and I think the original Thunderbolt head also looks the part. If you are planning to paint the forehead piece to orange, then it will match the body very nicely. The Thunderbolt is one of the best kits I have ever built, and to be honest, in my opinion, I think it is better than Bandai MG kits, as the parts are easy to clean, nicely click together and the complete build looks amazing, you will realise how good it looks comparing to Gundam MG once it is done. I had the Thunderbolt right next to the MG Freedom Gundam 2.0 the other day, and the Freedom Gundam just looks so basic and lacks body details. 😅👍🏼

Nice!! Cao Ren is very cool as it transforms into a phoenix also. The Ao Bing also comes with two other editions. One is deluxe, which comes with metallic paint. The other is transparent edition, which comes with clear coloured parts, and in addition to it, there are dragon scale parts that glow under black light, similar to the fire flame effect for the dragon mouth. 🔥🐉 😊👍🏼

I'll mention that to him!! I'm not sure if he knows that!

@jessicabritt6990 the black light is relatively cheap to buy from Amazon, only cost a few £, around £15 to £18 you could get the black light tube, which is the one I have bought, it comes in two separate tube, but I only use one. You will really see the effect parts glow when you shine the black light at it. I have tried in the evening that without any lights in the house, you will find stuff that you are not aware of which glow in the dark too, quite cool. I have a toy fish at the bathroom sink and it glows so bright under black light, same as some printing on my t shirts and socks, they all glow unexpectedly. 😄

We have a great blacklight we use as part of our Halloween decorations!! Thank you so much for sharing the information!! He said he's going to try it tonight.. today is his birthday and he said that is a birthday gift he wasn't expecting 🤣

@@jessicabritt6990 oh wow!! That is good timing!! Do wish your hubby a very Happy Birthday!! Have a fab celebration!! 🎉🎊🥳🎂🍰🥂🍻

Definitely.. it is very smart of Motor Nuclear to pre-painted the parts as opposed to providing us with colour correction decals. I know the decals and water slide decals do put off some model builders as there are just so many decals to apply. This Ao Bing doesn't require a single decal is a bonus and it looks so good already just from straight build. Can't wait to start building mine. 😊👍🏼

Thanks. Glad you like it. It is a very nice kit, as you can see in the video of the finished product, it looks really nice. One thing I like about it is the way they mould the plastic runners, the finishing of the plastic parts have a matt finish to it, so I don't even need to spray matt finish at the end. If you are not applying decals, a straight build finish is already really nice. If you apply decals, a top layer will protect the decals. However, what you see in the video is without the top layer, I let the water slide decals to dry naturally for 48 hours before touching. Even after posing the figure, all the decals are still intact and undamaged. It is a wonderful kit. 😊 👍🏼

Thanks!! Yes, the stock wheels are 1.9, you can find 1.9 tyres to fit onto the original wheels to make the overall wheels look bigger. It is quite difficult to melt the glue on the original tyres though, so might be easier to just buy need beadlock wheels and new tyres. Hope this helps. 😉👍🏼

@@jjshobbypower9091 oh wow great info..yea I prefer to buy beadlock wheels so I don't have to glue anything. Lol great truck!! 👍

​@@jjshobbypower9091another thing..I wish it came with a hard plastic body and functional doors to add a driver inside 😢 it's pricey without those😢

@arni7810 yes indeed. But think of it this way, when you are driving the crawler and it falls or tip over, a hard body will cause a lot of damages, whereas the soft body shell will absorb a lot of the impacts, and the body ends up having a few scratches only. Also, soft body are lighter, so better not crawlers, the hard body will add too much weight to the rig.

@@jjshobbypower9091 you are correct. But I do prefer hard body overall, a bit of damage is good to make it look used weathered battle damaged..😅 thanks!!!

Thanks buddy!! Much appreciated. I have some model cars review videos on the channel, feel free to check them out. Of late I have been busy posting videos of model Gundam building, but I will keep uploading model cars video also. I just haven't had a chance to get to my model cars as the house is renovating at the moment and I have no access to my model cars room. 😊👍🏼

It is absolutely outstanding! I give In Era+ credit for the hard work they have put in. 👍🏼👏🏼

Yes, you are definitely on point!! 😊👍🏼 the Manta Ray will be the rev.2 of the Thunderbolt, can't wait. The Manta Ray will also feature a more Gundun look alike head unit, which is what I preferred. The colour scheme is pretty nice too, so will definitely look good next to Thunderbolt rev 1, as the colour contrasts between the two will compliment each other. 😊👍🏼 Like yourself, In Era+ is also one of my favourite 3rd parties model kits, I am also a big fan of Motor Nuclear kits as well as Moshow Toys action figures, they are just so nice and associated with the right price tag. 🤗🫡👌🏼

Hello. Glad you like the Thunderbolt kit as well. Yes, Thunderbolt will definitely be built before MGEX Strike Freedom, as a matter of fact, I have started building the Thunderbolt shortly after the unboxing video, as it looks too temping from looking at the runners. I have built half the body inner frame already, as the instruction manual guides you to build the inner frame first before laying the body armour. I don't mind telling you right now, in my opinion, this is by far the best Mobile Suit model kit I have ever built. The parts on the runners are on point, plastic runners quality is better. In Era+ has really thought about where to put the nubs connecting the parts to the runners, the parts can be easily cut out, the nubs are easy to clean up. They made 95% of the external visible parts with undergate, the hidden parts are with normal gates but they are easy to clean up and they are at locations which are not in front of your face, a very well done to In Era+ for taking the extra step to provide their customers a great building experience. I was originally a bit worried about the number of runners, as there are just so many, but the experience is really great and the details on each of the parts is so good, it makes the whole building experience very enjoyable. The inner frame I have built so far is extremely impressive, I will upload a short video to show everyone the details once the inner frame is complete. I'm more than impressed by this kit, and I will definitely buy from In Era+ again. 🫡🙇🏻‍♂️👍🏼

Thanks, glad you enjoyed watching my video. You are right about the RG, although it is more detailed, the proportion of the body is slightly different to the HG. The HG has the body shape like the Ver.Ka. Another thing about the RG is that it is very detailed with the colour separation, but the backpack is a lot heavier than the HG backpack, so it struggles to stand up straight, but propping it on a display stand will resolve the issue. With the Advanced MS inner frame, the RG is just too floppy comparing to the HG. My HG can stand on its own feet without any support regardless whether the backpack is opened or not. I also find the RG required a lot more effort in polishing and cleaning up nubs in order to look good, the HG is a lot easier. It is fair to say the RG really did test my patience. I can imagine your HG must look really good with all the additional painting, nice work! I hope Bandai will release a RG Strike Freedom 2.0 soon to fix up the Advanced MS joints. The more recent released of RG are great though, as they do not have the early RG syndrome, and they are all pretty firm in terms of their joints, like the RG Tallgeese, RG Zeong, RG Nu Gundam, RG Hi-Nu Gundam and RG Sazabi, they are all very top class RG model kits. I can't wait to buy the soon to be released RG RX-78-2 2.0, it looks so good comparing to the last one, and it also has a lot more details on the inner body frame. Really looking forward to the release and will definitely get one. 😊👍🏼

@@jjshobbypower9091 You're right that the RG SF really test the patience! Mine is also more floppy than the HG (I also have the RG Freedom & Justice, and they all seem to share the exact same pre-molded inner frames which really explains why), at least it's not that bad compared to Zeta or Sinanju, but definitely worst than a few later kits (despite also beeing early RGs) like Wing/Zero EW or 00 series, let alone the even newer ones as you mentioned lol I hope so, about Bandai releasing the 2.0 for other early kits, like what they will do with Granpa 2.0. The early RGs even though are not as stable as the new mini MGs, I still think they are worth collecting, mostly because they are unique (both good and bad), beautiful to look at (minus the proportion issue), and really helped me to enhance my skill through the years haha (man I hate Zeta, but it's absolutely the best looking version, even better than MG 2.0 or ver Ka IMO), so that's why I still keep collecting them, till this day. Really appreciate your review (and love) for these older ones! Looking forward to see more of your videos in the future!

@nguyenx86 thank you do much for your support, it is much appreciated. I think the more recent RG are great as they are more robust, the earlier ones though, a little sloppy, but we would always glue the joints to make it a fixed model. We appreciate the shape and the details more than anything, it is not like we would pick it up and play with it and twisting all the arms and legs all the time. To me, I don't mind gluing everything, as once they are built, they are display pieces, more like art works than toys that you play around with. So whichever ones they are, they definitely have their values. Just my personal preference that I like those with a lot of details, as eveeytime I look at it, it would give me something to look at and to appreciate the details and design. 😊👍🏼

I've built it a couple months ago and it's quite satisfying except the tiny metallic stickers and etching metallic parts that were a pain for me but got through it.

@@xxraverxxonxtacy I can imagine building the MGEX must be quite an experience, I am very patient as you can tell from my other videos that I take my time to polish my Gundam Models a lot, so building the MGEX will definitely take me a while. I will schedule to build the MGEX later this year, right now I'm building something else, you will get to see what it is in my next video. The video is currently under editing, and will be available on my channel pretty soon. Keep an eye on it, I think you will like it too. 😊👍🏼

Glad you like my video. LC70 is nice also. 👌🏼 Traxxas TRX-4 has been a really good crawler for a long time. The new Redcat is pretty good too, it comes with carbon fibre body frame and brushless motor. 😊👍🏼
