BIG 1/8 Scale Budget 609E Rock Crawler Truck - Full Review

[@BeaglyO]

From a non RC person, this is unbelievable value! It really works! It happily screams along, tackles my steep driveway and even manages stone steps. Scared the shit out of my dogs! LOL Great review!!!

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Haha, cheers for watching mate 👍😁

This may just be the best review I’ve ever seen. Thank you for covering everything.

@@PERTHWESTOZRC they upped the price to $76 with $24 shipping just in the past six hours!

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

What? Really! I'll have a look... They must be a demand for these or something cause they were so cheap at the time of when I purchased mine maybe.

I just checked it's still $55AU on Banggood from the AU warehouse on the BG app

This crawler is a beast and can't beat the price. I've seen this advertised before but didn't realize it was really that huge. I thought they used some trickery. Awesome review. This would make for a great Xmas gift for a kid.

Thanks for watching Ryan, when i saw it so cheap in price, i just had to buy it for a project!

Pretty impressive for so cheap! Look forward to seeing what you do with it, Dave!👍😁👍

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Yeah its a bargain for what you get, will be upgrading it soon and making a video.. Cheers Matt 👍🍻

[@danieltrilopez]

Look forward to seeing the project! I'm planning to do the same. It's a nice crawler with better electronics and suspension

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Awesome bro, yeah I just bought it with plans to add some hobby grade electronics to it so its full proportional since its a large truck.👍

[@MickoRC]

good stuff Dave! Dirt cheap for a large, mean looking crawler hey. Definitely a good base for a project. I look forward to your progress updates on this one bro. cheers mate!

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Hi Michael thanks for watching, for the price I thought it will make a good project to tinker around with and modify so snapped one up. As is stock it performed rather well for being a large and cheap toy grade RC so was impressed with it so far, mods on this to come soon when I have spare time. Cheers and be safe bro 👍🍻.

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Wow that thing is actually pretty decent for the price hey. Awesome brother

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Yeah was a bargain bro so thought I’d buy it as a project, I’m working on mods now for it

[@norcalrc]

Loving the size of this one. Great unboxing bro

Cheers brother, I'll be converting it soon 👍🍻

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Thanks for watching brother, its a lot of truck for low cost, making it into a project build. Have a good evening man appreciate you tuning in 👍🍻

[@Rek_Rc]

I was a bit sceptical in the beginning, but you had me convinced pretty quickly that this really would be a great hobby swap project rc. And i assume it's very light weight so if uou add weight down low it would probably make a very able crawler after some hobby grade swaps.

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Shortly after this video i done an update on what i upgraded so now it's fully proportional and i run it on 2S and 3s sometimes. I have to take it out again sometime and make a running video on it. Unfortunately the prices on this have doubled since i bought this once very cheap at the time of making this video

[@Rek_Rc]

@@PERTHWESTOZRC wow I didn't even realize this video was as old as it is lol. I do appreciate you still replying on it though. I saw the price went up on it a ton. I sill almost bought it though.

[@liferestarted]

Awesome vid, this really looks like a nice crawler. Might be something that kids can handle!!! Looking forward to this project car for sure and all the upgrades.

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Thanks mate, for the low price will make for a good project to mess around with in my spare time. Its a lot of RC for the money spent! Cheers for watching 👍🍻

I've had 1 for 2 weeks now. Upgraded electronics using hosim 9125 circuit board n sero. Runs alot better using a 3 cell lipo. Burnt 1 rear motor up so far. Need to put some 390 motors in it but don't know if its possible because of limited motor space.

That sounds cool, did the 9125 electronics work OK with it I have my original servo and 9125 60A ESC in my parts bin that I could use but also have a separate Dumbo receiver and escs I was thinking of using on this project as well. Cheers for watching and your comment Dan 👍🍻

I ordered this for my 7 year old, and I can say. It’s embarrassing Lmaoo u can only turn one time, u cannot turn slowly, it’s right left full turn or nothing, also the trigger is 1 time click, cannot control the speed, I’m thinking of beefing it up with some hobby grade brushed motors, real servo, real wheels, 7.4 lipo 2s maybe a 3s, change the transmitter and receiver, shocks, then she might be a 7/10 instead of a 3/10 now. But for $70 hey why not right!? Lol

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Yeah I’m not sure how much you paid but when I bought this truck it was dirt cheap at around $35US which for kids it was a steal being a large toy grade, I bought it to make fully proportional which I show in a mod video, it runs on Xinlehong 9125 servo and esc which is a 60A and powers both front and rear motors as it has 2 sets of motor wires for the 9125 truck so I run it on 3s
