INSANE DETAILS! New $329 ROC Hobby Mashigan - Full Review & Customizing!

FMS/Roc Hobby have pulled out all the stops on their latest, large scale, hard-body RC, the Mashigan! It looks a lot like a truck I've seen before but I can't put my finger on which one it is. It looks spectacular, is way bigger than 10th scale, and is a rich bed for customizing, as you can see here. Is it worth buying? Watch and decide for yourself!

Chuck Mashigan WAS THE DESIGNER OF THE YJ!!!!

[@marcpoletti9511]

Was just about to say crappy name but now it is better knowing that.

[@baldingtowski8074]

This truck looks absolutely amazing on the trail! And those wheels and tires help quite a lot too.

[@zero318]

I agree...as a former AMC/Chrysler employee of that era, this is a really legit looking rig. I also like the way the suspension is flexing and bouncing. Sure, it's not leaf spring, but the ride of this compared to the (vehicle that shall not be named for licencing purposes) is not that far off. Now, as a former AMC alumni, it's no CJ, but then we said that back then about these too. bawwwhaahaaa....

[@hemistormrc]

Great transformation! The details are once again out of this world on this truck. FMS does some interesting stuff in this industry.

[@scalebuildersguild]

They're certainly making some good moves. This is definitely a step in the right direction. Thanks for watching Chris!

[@17madracki17]

Hemi in da house !!!!

[@Johnn_T]

@@scalebuildersguildwait til you see whats yet to come😉 gotta say i really love the end video sequence! Definitely gets my vote, super well done matt👍👍

[@curtisknudson8966]

Dear Matt, I too owned a YJ ('93). It too was a Sahara Edition. Although the paint was the forest/royal green. Held onto that truck for 30 years until I sold it to my IT guy from work. Good and Bad of this. Truck is still in fantastic condition, But it's like seeing your Ex make out with your friend. Sure you're happy for them but it still stings a little. Love All you do for us. Thanks Again! JEEP HAVE SQUARE HEADLIGHTS!

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

22:31 Amazing Cinematic Video Begins 🍿 Purple Lego RC 💜

[@RCPlayGround]

Finally, RocHobby has released it in 1/10 scale. I like that it looks like a YJ jeep

[@JamesInSpace914]

Great video Matt! Your transformation turned an already good looking truck into amazing scale model! I would have loved to have seen it side-by-side with a Traxxas TRX 4 Bronco or some such to get an idea of its actual size.

[@Z1Gaming]

Looks like a 91 jeep renegade, I have one in red and i was stoked when I saw this!! The fenders on the front is what gave it away for me.

[@JusRc]

Love how long the trail run is, less talk more action.. man you set the bar so high for running videos, very cinematic, you should do a video on how you make it so movie like

[@airadaimagery692]

I own the Jeep in the thumbnail, the original, 1990 YJ. The name of the color is “khaki metallic”. The color code is PJ5. You have to be careful ordering PJ5 though, because it’s a code for two different colors. But I must say, you did a fantastic job of matching the paint. I know it’s not exact, but it’s damn close. The roll bar covers are tan, but so is the dash, so.. It still looks good.

[@96rincon]

My step-dad in the service had a YJ, he loved that thing so much but every month something needed repaired, doesn't have it anymore, retired a while ago, but I'd love to buy him this for Christmas I know he'd love it, just wish it wasn't sold out. Awesome review!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

They'll have more soon, and pre-ordering guarantees you get one!

[@michaeltrilck5680]

Thanks for your very detailed explanation! It is what it is: a HOBBY - RC Car , it is NOT a comp.Carl, NOT a thing from a established „Brand“ and the Price is absolutely fair,i think.(Just for comparison: ONE LITER Gasoline costs TWO € in Germany at present, thanks Greta and Putin!) I „drive“ my FMS 1/6Willys with HW1800 Combo ,90mm P&L Shocks… Lots of fun… 😊

[@Tklatti01]

Looking like Magyvers jeep from back in the day! 😎. Don’t forget the antenna on the passenger front fender bud 🫠 and remember the wipers set like at a 45* angle when they were off.

[@scale6039]

Chuck Mashigan was the designer of the YJ Jeep therefore the name ( its also not a licenced body 🙃) Great looking trail truck, wish it was 1/6 scale to match the willys jeep and also my own 1/6 scale collection off rc's. Great paint job too 👍

[@jjsgarage3940]

Chuck Mashigan was my grandpa and yes he was the man responsible for the YJ

[@MrMikefriia]

Loving the detail!! Wish they would make a TJ.....round headlights!!! Lol working on a 16th scale TJ now, having trouble finding a chassis for it, any suggestions? Love your site!

[@kjs6469]

My wife and I had a Sahara edition also. It didn't stay stock for long ether. Nice paint job, looks great. Brought back a lot of memories.

[@sunriserc1033]

I like this. Reminds me of my friends 87!!! According to their website they offer a leaf spring kit (sold separately) to make it super scale.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep! Coming soon!

[@darrenjackson6207]

Hey Matt, I'm sure you know why they call this truck a Mashigan by now but If you don't it's because the designers name was Chuck Mashigan, so it's named that for a good reason... fun fact.

[@19_96tyler]

I said it once and I’ll say it again, your skills for the montage’s are so good!!

[@dannyrc6216]

The video/music is outstanding! You know those movies that get stuck in your head for days after you watched them….this is it !

[@wxdad6256]

I am so happy for this! I am just starting a frame off yj build for my wife and now I can have a mini to match!

[@MarshallLando]

drive footage is hypnotic. love it man

[@scalebuildersguild]

Appreciate it!

[@jasonreed9635]

you can flip the axles on the jimny to move the axles under the leafs, there are videos on doing it, adds 3/4 inch lift

[@flynnstone3580]

Captain Piccard is always out on foggy days searching for Clingons.

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@edwardbroyles9738]

I agree with your comments about the look from ROC Hobby. What you did captures the sense of a Jeep. I especially like the foam covers for the roll bars

[@skorpionman67]

Can't wait for mine to arrive!

[@caledoncrawlersrc2216]

Omg i love what you did with it, thot it looked good out of the box but then seeing what you did. Amazing job!

[@TheBeardedGorilla89]

Great review Matt, the upgrades really make this truck even better. It does look really good. FMS keeps killing it with these beautiful bodies

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Now thats a transformation, would have love to see the build process and how you went about it all. It should be released like this. Great work Matt!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Not much to it really, just some primer and paint!

[@micahandamyzastrow4910]

Awesome job detailing this Jeep. It totally looked like a real one.

[@ProjektONE]

You always seem to find a way to capture my interest in a truck when at first it did nothing for me! Great work on the paint and cinematography.

[@jimkrug2586]

Nice job you did customizing this "not a J**p"!! The colours and details look great. Looks very realistic sitting still and in motion. Well done.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@Ivebeenhad]

Truly a Matt finish paint job. Looks great.

[@boldrbangr9834]

Great job Matt! So cool you had a real one. I ordered mine today & went through my parts stash & found a set of the CCH wheels you used. I think they look great & I'll use them on mine too.

[@bcochener]

Great job on the Sahara paint trim. What, you didn’t want to make the Islander Trim package?? Haha. Looks killer Matt!

[@AandB1998]

I worked in the detail department at a Chrysler dealership in Phoenix back when these were out. We would spray the lot cars off each week as part of our job. There was an emerald green and gold Sahara edition on the lot that got extra special attention until the day it sold. My dream Jeep! I might have to buy this one.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Did you know that I worked at the Chrysler Plant in Brampton, Ontario when I was in high school and college? Wasn't lucky enough to work on the Wrangler, but it's always been one of my favourite vehicles... until it got stolen! Bringing back the memories!

[@ed0c]

oh wow, the fog cover time of day was amazing for the running portion! looked great! little snow on the ground and the color of the leaves, perfect!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Absolutely love the video. Your new microphone is a game changer. The murder park is also a nice place to play but manchild playing with an RC will always be the first to go. The jeep looks great!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! I'm definitely loving the microphone!

[@MegaTraxxas]

You've chosen a perfect time and location to run this model

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@Guitardrumr]

Honestly, the old YJ running around without a spare on the back makes it more accurate, at least to what I used to see around here when the YJ was still fairly common.

[@brandonbrooks6210]

That's got to be the nicest unlicensed body, regardless of the awkward scale, I've ever seen.

[@damnbigyank9993]

What a transformation! Beautiful. I miss my YJ. 4 banger on 35’s with 5.12 gears. 3rd and 4th were the only gears that you needed

[@warfarekid]

What a superb review. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire video with a cold beer 🍺 in hand on a Friday afternoon. Outstanding and inspirational.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice! Have a great weekend!

[@jdsrcs8061]

It came out beautiful!!! Love the YJ's. I want to get one and paint it yellow to match my full size!!!👍👍👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool!

[@lowrider181]

Great to see what you've done to this! I look forward to a future video of it on the rocks and to see its capability with the slipper clutch sorted

[@DesertRC]

Awesome bro. CHUCK MASHIGAN is the original designer of the YJ Jeep, the name "Mashigan" appears to be a nod to him. Happy Crawling!

[@citizencane3492]

Wow. Your vision as to what this truck could be is inspiring. The execution of the scheme … nearly flawless. But your driving vids, driving with one hand and filming with the other, are cinematic … just amazing. Unparalleled on the ‘Tube.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Wow, thanks!

[@fishtailfistscale8362]

Bro you capture a mean rc truck on the trail video if I say so myself and the audio track is absolutely a whole ominous mood. ✨🏆🎥🏆✨🤯

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@mikebird8290]

WOW Matt it looks AMAZING Sir

[@wesleysalisbury8372]

The cinematic shots with the foggy ambiance, mysterious music, and Sir Patrick Stewart all work SO well together. Definitely a believable intro to a cerebral drama/thriller. Well done!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you very much!

[@andyb9994]

I just picked one up last night, a bunch came to USA from China, I thought I had time to get one when they released, but I was wrong my hobby shop sold out fast and could not get any for a long time, till last night actually....just a cool jeep, love it great video...👍👍💯

[@scalebuildersguild]

Enjoy! Glad you were able to snag one!

[@jjsgarage3940]

Cool to see the name! Chuck Mashigan who was Director of Jeep Design and the man responsible for the YJ was my grandpa!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool!

[@crazzyoboy]

Your custom paint choice is spot on...I really wished having real leaf springs on it. Amazing what FMS/Rochobby are offering for these prices

[@chuckstogdill1938]

I would 3d print a 78 grill and make it a golden eagle. A guy in town had one when I was a teen and I absolutely loved that rust bucket.

[@andrewrichey7374]

I again appreciate you sharing, great job on the paint job looks fantastic. Catch you on the next one

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@scottyscreaming]

As someone who lives in michigan and owns a red 94 yj I need this in my life.

[@CCxRC]

Beware of the murder forest 😂 looks amazing Matt. I agree about the speed for what it is. It’s jumpy for a 35t-even on 2s

[@donald2818]

Looks great, ROC Hobby would be proud of how you transformed it.

[@lostmonkeygr62945]

You did a fabulous job!!!!! It looks gorgeous with those colors! Once again you knocked it out of park!!!! Would you be so kind as to post a picture of it next to the 1/6th Willys so we can see the size difference please? Thanks Brother!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

I don't have a 1/6 Willy! Sorry!

[@antipodeanadventures6409]

Great looking detailing Matt. I don't recall Jeeps from the 40s and 50s having square headlights but I guess they aren't real :)

[@rcplaytime]

Really like this,love the colour you painted it,love the misty wood footage, put some scary music ,be really atmospheric 😃👍👍👍👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Rockatha]

Wow that looks amazing painted up. Awesome work

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@SlooDon]

Thanks Matt! Glad you made it out of the “Murder” forest alive! 😂 The truck looks great.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@nuge74]

Hot dang, beautiful body design, kudos on the Sahara theme, suits it perfectly!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@tinytiredan5912]

I was waiting for this video, wasnt expecting the Sahara edition livery, so it only made it cooler! Thank you for the inspiration matt!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@EWCRC]

He left the tire off because the hinges are wore and the tailgate rattles when driving down the street. You made it look even more realistic with that paint job.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Great job Matt, couple of times in the running vid, could have been the real jeep. Nice job, think I like it better with the top off. John

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks John!

[@va-modellbau8181]

If I get him, I’m sure it’ll be a Jurassic Park version. Greetz Andy

[@paulschryer9571]

... Thank you Mr. Matt for showing us what is "really" (inside) these new RC's. - We do want to "know" what we are paying for, & would like to understand the internal components !!! 🤔... 😉

[@jochenweisel8612]

your "version" does look phenomenal. Wow. I like also this spherical music. Thx for the video.

[@Nerm78]

Great build! I love how close you got it to the 1/1 version!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@robgoffroad]

I think the Patrick Stewart figure is perfect... he's only 5'8 in real life anyway, so the scale works. Not all of us can be 6' tall (including me). You did an amazing job on that! It looks awesome.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I had no idea he's only 5'8"!

[@owenisaacson724]

Captain Picard looks like he’s having fun on the halodeck 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

Totally!

[@1957fuzz]

I own a yj and it was built in Canada so tell your dad thanks. I've gotta own one of these for sure. You did an outstanding job on making it lool like a Sahara matt.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks so much for the kind words, but he died 28 years ago.

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

One thing about those big, heavy hard bodies is that the weight and higher CG make the suspension dynamics look so much more realistic.

[@toddbertram6556]

Would be amazing if they would have done a scrambler.

[@edwardbroyles9738]

One thing I really like in the 1/10 - 1/6 size RCs especially if they have the hard bodies is the suspension articulation. The smaller, lighter trucks just bounce too much

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Fantastic cosmetic overhaul of this rig.

[@Fraguid]

awesome video love the way you show your stuff off. could watch it forever

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad to hear it!

[@michaelavery4427]

Sweet hat Matt!! I would definitely add a "Bash Pro Shop" bumper sticker... since I live close to the KC bass pro

[@bomac10]

Wow!! Love what you did with it even though I love the original I love this one more!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@Charlie86RC]

I wouldn’t wanna drive this, it’s beautiful

[@vibmx]

I think the driver is perfect scale! Also the creepy drive music was awesome!

[@jasondionne1214]

You need more leafs ! The springy kind 👍🏻 Great video as always

[@roymeeks5664]

Now that looks more realistic,great job ..!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you very much!

[@blammers]

That was a mesmerizing trail video

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Wow, that looks amazing and my hat is off to you for recreating the old look so perfectly!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@ronaldwriston1546]

Looks really sick on the trail. An I think the slipper being the way it is makes for great realism. If it was an automatic, it would rev out just like that to go over or up a path.

[@vincentsalpietro5374]

Outstanding Matt !

[@overlandrcadventure]

Great looking trail truck,and was definitely a spooky day to film😎

[@timtheeagle1]

I'm going to do the JP jeep! I can't wait to get one, you did a great job! I'll upgrade this in some ways for sure

[@timtheeagle1]

I didn't realize when I first started watching that you are in Toronto. It's annoying to me that a company will send products to a reviewer no problem, but not allow me to buy one in the same country cause all off a sudden Canada is on a moon of Jupiter and shipping is impossible. They now show as sold out although my brother tried to get me one for Christmas day one they came out. I watched other videos where they sent them to reviewers in the UK, and then wouldn't ship there either. Ridiculous. You'd never know this was 2022 and the world is more connected than ever with these 1800s shipping ideologies.

[@mikebird8290]

I ♥️ your enthusiasm for this truck Matt. Say's everything I need to know about this GREAT looking truck Sir. Definitely sold it to me 🇬🇧🇨🇦🕊️✌🏼🤙🏼

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool! Have fun!

[@J33P4D00R]

Classic! Gonna go great with my 1:1 91 YJ. I need one of these

[@SimplyMustGo]

I love this review and I'm so excited to get mine and paint it to match my screen accurate Jurassic Park Jeep. I wish it came with the leaf springs, I'll be looking forward to that upgrade. All that said, best part of this video was when you said real Jeeps have square headlights. YES! LOVE LIVE THE SQUARES! - I just found your channel, but that earned the instant sub from me!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool, thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Wow outstanding job, that really looks good the foam over the rollbars Yep we’re watching

[@G59Cwalwur]

A real jeep !!! Don’t tell josh 😂 yes! I’m so glad you threw that in the vid I love it . You rock. Amazing work as always Matt very scale , looks sooo good 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Great looking build, TONS of potential! I see this being the base for plenty of projects! I would have liked to see it closer to1/10 scale, though, if only to be able to use that body on other chassis'. Thanks for the review and another great running video 👍

[@havocmwf]

I had a green and tan Sahara IRL so I would love one of these RC motors Good video.

[@andyb9994]

You killed it on that build, very cool...I will probably do wheels, tires, servo...and few other drive line parts....I don't have the artistic ability to make it look any better than It is....but you make it look 💯 better, looks so real and suspension does act so real also....👍👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and have fun with your mods!

[@epicrc2084]

This truck looks absolutely amazing
