Not many places have it in stock...I believe this is the official distributor: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEkwo4N If you are questioning '$5000' Truck: £3256 Servos £430 Motors/ESC: £170 Paint: £50 Total: £3906 = $4969 (close enough ;)

[@buysncharge]

Nice man. I only saw one channel do this one. She did a zombie film type deal.

[@MrJamesBrown70sChild]

Can't wait for part 2, that thing is just nuts 😂😂, epic video dude 😎

[@Cameron2874]

Wow £624 for delivery 😱. This build looks epic though. Can't wait to see it in action

[@Casualgamer3789]

when the servos cost more than the motor and esc 💀

[@pigeonqc4318]

They ask 1500$ only for the shipping in Canada! OMG!

[@ZIGZAG12345]

As someone who has a weird appreciation for things that are packaged extremely well/expensively, this is absolutely top-notch stuff! The OCD nature and how well they've made it all understandable with the labelled bags and the corresponding detailed instructions, the thick foam trays (the one with the shocks in the "exploded diagram" layout as you pointed out is particularly fine!) containing everything, even the outer box having the company logo on rather than just a generic carboard box, the entire lot is superb! I bet a not-insignificant part of the price is related to how well they've done all that!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it’s very expensive… but it didn’t leave me feeling that I’d overpaid when I was unboxing it 👌

[@demoths]

I have a cross gc4 as my first ever hard body kit, I was expecting more of a model that happens to be RC, but after building it I realized it's truly a heavy duty machine. I bashed the hell out of it on the trail, and realized they're priced extremely reasonably for the quality. And the gc4 is pretty far over on the lower end of Cross models. 11/10 would recommend.

[@stuartthurstan]

Honestly, looking at the shear amount of machined aluminium in that kit, it's terrific value for money. Not that I could ever afford one mind you.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, very good quality and a lot of work to design it I’m sure

[@Chiraq312boi]

The packaging as well is great.

[@tylerseabook9423]

You could never ever afford one? It was 4,300 bucks. I’m certain anyone could save that much money very easily. Especially if you want it bad enough. That mentality that you never will is why you never will.

[@PachezZ]

@@tylerseabook9423 not everyone lives where you live... average monthly income in my country is 1500$, not saying one cant save for this beast but you will think a lot more about where you want to spend your 5k$. I can rebuild whole kitchen including new appliances for that money for example...

[@andreramos3146]

Instead of taking a credit for the holidays abroad, this year I'm gonna buy a giant RC truck to carry me in a golden throne 🤣😂😅

[@spencertidd]

As it's locomotive inspired, you should paint it in the style of British Rail man!! Look for a class 50 image - yellow front, blue main body and black roof with black surrounding the windows... Really looking forward to this series!

[@vdel9036]

Fed up with RTR, plug&play's, beginner jobs or one day projects ? CrossRC is here for you !😊 The biggest, the most expensive, the heaviest, the hardest-to-build RC thing ever is now somewhere in the UK. Pray for not meeting the monster : it'd eat your 1/24 crawler, and maybe you and your dog. 😱 Love this kind of thing.👍 Mad Max...

[@missionunpossible]

Same technique as a crocodile. run sideways and the large turning circle will save you

[@Cormano980]

The heaviest and more expensive would be Armortek, if you are into military and tank stuff, they're based in UK and their kits are incredible

[@bcochener]

This is the best build series ever! Cannot wait for the next part…!!!😊

[@rckepka]

that thing is crazy, really waiting for part 2

[@01ls1z28dabx]

My goodness, that thing is so cool.

[@coreynelson6731]

Wow! Now that is a kit! Git R Done!

[@Bongface.]

Now we see why the table and new camera angles were needed. That thing looks like it will be a beast.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… wouldn’t have worked on the normal bench 🤘

[@mitsuman5555]

I'm so glad you're doing this. This is a bonkers kit that deserves more attention, and most people (including myself) probably won't ever get to see one in person.

[@davidburke5686]

Epic build, Mad Max style I reckon

[@The94gtmoose]

I’ve watched unboxing and build videos before. But this was by far my favorite. Almost makes me regret preordering the Apple Vision Pro. Cause if I saw this first I might of saved some more and got this instead.

[@docbob9638]

Allways wondered if this is a thing... love to watch you build it!

[@adampsrcs3487]

😮What an absolute monster of a truck.. things going to be a beast!! Expensive but Looks well worth the money in my opinion.your going to need that new shop truck just for transporting that 10x10 Goliath 😂

[@michaelcain2174]

I think it needs more wheels 🤔🤣🤣🤣 it’s going to be a BEAST !!!! looking forward to seeing this bad boy finished

[@XARIER39]

Wasn't expecting this but it's a nice surprise! I always wanted one of these after watching their video. I'll just live vicariously I guess.

[@TomleyRC]

lol.. it was a nice surprise for me too. My Wife made me buy it lol

[@adriansantiagojr.8378]

That suspension is " OH LAWD HE COMIN' " level.

[@stephenpheonix6549]

Wow great build Phil! Looks epic! Can’t wait to see it finished. How about a Post Apocalyptic Paint Scheme and put some cool action figures from Walking Dead in it? Would look awesome! 👍🏼

[@RCDriftTok]

Awesome project looking forward to part 2!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers mate. It’s so cool’

[@jasonbecker4997]

Cool truck! Looking forward to seeing it at the skatepark! 😮

[@johnclarke8180]

Awesome, brilliant, love it! Thanks for sharing

[@71dazgee]

Perfect Friday night viewing. Thanks Phil.

[@chriswhite2714]

That thing is a beast, looking forward to the rest of the build 👍

[@RCManiacs]

That is just insane! Cant wait to see the finished build!

[@mehimrc1314]

Kits that come with tools are well thought out by the manufacturer 👍 As for you Phil your the reason why people should get into the hobby that kit is EPIC! not just bought but built it yourself 💪👍

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Wow what a muvva of a thing! I was going to say red like the render but hell yeah satin black Mad Max stylee gets my vote! 😁👌

[@manofanhour]

I’m so excited for this build!

[@TomleyRC]

Me too!

[@KathysFlog]

Wow, this is why you're my favourite RC channel .......... oh, wait. 😁🥰

[@TomleyRC]

Favourite Child… and KZbinr, I’m honoured 😇

[@theGrizz188]

Looks like its straight out of snowrunner

[@TomleyRC]

Yes.. I think you can get it on there

[@qrisemrc]

It's really huge. It seems to weigh a lot too. If something breaks while playing with this military RC, it will be difficult to take it with you.😂😂😂👍👍

[@whitecompany18]

Music felt like I'm watching a 90s skateboard vid👌

[@christopherwilson6825]

Yeah. ! @TomleyRC you fix and put together. Yes!! Now please don't break it . Just kidding . Great job !!! Awesome war truck .

[@chrisprice6405]

Trys chucking them on the bench from door entrance..... no bench left! Wicked bit of kit that... Its Christmas every day 🎁🎁🎁

[@joshcraig1441]

Thats like an apocalyptic X-Maxx. AWESOME!!!!

[@Jeeplee_rc]

Beautiful packaging and looks like it's going to be an awesome build! Brushless for sure!

[@dalaw6600]

It looks pretty epic. The video they made where it looks like it’s in a zombie apocalypse made it look awesome

[@ScopsLog]

Please make it brushless. I am thinking about building one myself once my workshop is warm. Would be nice to see what electronics work best for you. Regarding the Radio: I love mine, but they are a bit complicated to set up if you’re not used to drone radios. If in doubt, watch Joshua Bardwell’s videos about it.

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

good job you didn't break your wrist holding it with one hand 🤣 . Good job your not going run it at 50 mph , a definite ankle bone breaker 🤣 especially if had been an extreme speed machine kevin talbot build 🤣

[@josephmorelli3191]

WOW…describes it very well! Just watching you opening the boxes intimidates me! Very exciting! A lot of fun, as always.

[@stevecann3394]

What a mad departure from the norm... amazing stuff Phil 👍😀

[@tomn900]

I'm new to the channel but now I'm looking forward to watching this build

[@Del350K4]

Well done, Phil. I enjoyed every second of this video, and look forward to seeing Part 2.

[@thqp]

Holy crap that is ridiculous! YET so freaking COOOOOOL That needs to get a proper mad max paintjob and weathering!

[@mbb207]

That's so satisfying to watch all these perfect parts fits together. Very every expensive, but looks so cool. For me rather too expensive for just an hobby. So thanks that you do a project like this. Exciting to see part 2

[@happyman8521]

What a beast of a build. Looking forward to to see it complete.

[@utoob047]

Oh my goodness!!! That thing is amazing! Thank for bringing us along for the ride @TomleyRC 👍 Just checked the link for comparison, price in AUD for us Aussies: $5150 + at least another $1215 shipping 🤯😵‍💫😵 I'd have to sell the family car to buy one but it wouldn't matter cause there would be enough money left for a trailer to pull behind it! 😂

[@n.v.b.3616]

Looking forward to the rest of the build👌

[@TomleyRC]

Me too!

[@spektrum33]

That won’t be a shelf queen ,,,the bloody wall won’t hold it up 🤣🤣

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@carlbModels]

Very envious, thank you for uploading. Ignore people saying skate park as they couldn't afford the repair bill!!!!

[@Reddog08]

This monster is going to be amazing. The build experience is worth its weight for sure.

[@destroyeroutsider6709]

its like building Legos

[@546268]

Fell in love with this first time I saw one. I’m a novice so don’t know if I have the skills to build this so this build will be really interesting for me👍 It’s not the build per se as I’ve worked on cars and stuff but the RC side is a dark science to me.

[@kashmurray1199]

That's the coolest RC build I've seen. Awesome. It should plow through anything.

[@yiarkungfu]

I'd suggest a competition to build the craziest RC vehicle with other KZbinrs but they can't possibly build something like this monster.

[@akashi9047]

This is some of the most enjoyable Rc content fr

[@unloveableandre]

Love this type of video. So satisfying seeing a well built complex kit like that... That chassis looks amazing in black, the tires are beautiful... Big kits like these are very interesting

[@ukclarkes]

love Cross RC kits, they are always really satisfying!

[@TomleyRC]

Agree 👌

[@wordreet]

What can I say? NOICE!!! I can hardly wait to see how she drives. But once you get that rear bed installed, she'll become the Queen of Shelves!

[@steviefpv]

Ive just got into rc trucks coming over from fpv freestyle flying. Got myself a mt10 v2 and I’m really enjoying bashing. I think I’m liking rc cars more as there is more things to tinker with cause once I build a drone that’s kind of it but with these trucks there is all manor up upgraded bits plus I’m liking all the mechanics it’s just as fun to work on.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, lots of fun

[@glennthompson3642]

What a super truck/build,would love to be able to afford one,😂cant wait for next episode,need plenty of these to carry it💪💪💪.

[@TomleyRC]

I would not be able to afford one without all the awesome support 👌

[@scaleworksRC]

Good night, man! That box at 7:05 sounded like a whole outdoor grille! 😁 Super cool truck though! Thing's a beast!

[@ryanjohnson3615]

Cool project! I'll be watching... I'd like to see the train cab part painted and weathered true to the train it supposedly was scavenged from!

[@TechWizMaster]

This is a sick kit mate!

[@markpace5809]

Looking forward to part 2. 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Me too!

[@jkof2]

Wow! Painting it would take me forever.

[@TomleyRC]

And me haha

[@miklawson211]

Having seen the videos produced for this Truck ican say i've been looking forwards to watching one being built. I know it is so expensive but it will look so good once it's finish. I'm looking forwards to part 2.

[@meirdeaph]

That is for sure one of the coolest rcs i have ever seen! Totally awesome ❤

[@aaronbyrd8428]

Absolutely smashed it today! I cannot wait for the next episode.

[@kookieslayer]

Good god that's an insane build! Really nice to be sharing in the fun with you like that!

[@Truth12345]

I would definitely put a brushless system in it. I also agree it's good value for money. The other day I saw a rc tank that costed over 8000 bucks.

[@allscalerc]

I'm starting my build this weekend. Looks like you are moving along pretty well. I would have been started by now, but the day job gets in the way.

[@MCsCreations]

Wow... What a monster, Phil!!! 😮 Looking forward to the next steps!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@christophermears7738]

Man that thing is massive. Thanks for sharing this build with us

[@TomleyRC]

Welcome dude

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Epic, looking forward to seeing it put through its paces. Great job Phil...

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

That thing is going to be ABSOLUTELY EPIC. I'm looking forward to this build series 😎 Cheers

[@kanenstuff]

The packaging of that first box is A1. Sure this will take a while to paint then build looks forward to the outcome. With that radio you can drive to Ireland and back the ERLS Radiomaster MT12 is a beast of a radio.

[@jonjones.]

Nice, looking forward to the rest of the build videos 😀

[@TomleyRC]

Me too 😎

[@AddamsPlayground]

Holy cow that thing is ginormous! It would be an epic thing to build but moving it from one place to another and storing it looks like a challenge in itself! LOL. It all looks wonderfully machined and although expensive you are getting a lot of truck and quality parts in there! Certainly is not a Tamiya CC02 build! LOL!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes it’s a beast… can’t wait to get it out on the rough stuff!

[@MauzyrockRC]

Amazing! I am glad I bought so many raffal tickets 😂😂. The content is so worth it! This is going to be super epic build. Cheers

[@TomleyRC]

Really appreciate the support you guys give. This would not be possible otherwise

[@bobdehuisbaas1]

Looking forward to you finishing this build!

[@TomleyRC]

I think we all are 😇

[@mackmcd8725]

You should just ride it to wherever you are going with it... LOL

[@MrJamesBrown70sChild]

Success can be measured by how many parts you've got left over when you've finished building it 😂😂✌️😎👍 5 bits or less would be a win in my book 🤣🤣💪😉

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@allanritchie1539]

Now we know why you bought a bigger truck, you'll need it to carry that for sure. It is massive for 12th scale. WHOOPEE.😊😊😊

[@matthewloeffler5846]

Fantastic. I love your little orange Jack stands too

[@AdamAlistair]

I've never seen a rig like this. I quite like it, and getting to watch you build it is an absolute bonus! Nice one man!

[@CliffLaLonde]

Wow!!!! What a cool rc vehicle! I think you should paint it in Tomley team colors, gun metal and some neon green.

[@sharmanium3000]

Shocked that you don't have a crane in the shop!!! Great build sreies, please share a close up of those sweet red jacks, please.

[@adampsrcs3487]

I no that this is off topic/ish. I was just thinking to myself that that it's about time that our beloved FTX make a 1/10 scale 6x6.. who else thinks that would be a good idea??? They already make a 1/18 6x6 so about time we get a good budget friendly 6x6... And after digressing, Awesome job as always Phil. Really looking forward to seeing that absolute monster in the quarry 👍

[@Chunky246]

Wow what a monster. Can't wait to see it run.

[@TomleyRC]

Me too!

[@baronburger86]

What an amazing bit of kit!! Yeah don’t get me wrong it’s very expensive but… when you see that kind of care and attention put into the packaging you know the product is going to be top notch!! Looking forwards to the rest of the build dude! Nice work

[@BreatheRC]

Never seen anything like that before, that's completely bonkers ,looking forward to the build 👍👍 . many thanks .

[@lowflyingpigeon7956]

Part 2 now please 😆

[@superfeschi]

I am massively excited about this build and the future videos about it. Enjoy the build Phil

[@TomleyRC]

I am too!

[@RDEnduro]

Oh my, you've gone all in on a Cross! It's an SPAA looking machine for shooting planes maybe. But irl maybe more of a mobile crane chassis they look very similar.

[@JOHND_RC]

WOW 🤩!!! ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!! Nice work!

[@alxgu198]

Looking forward to this build!!! 👍

[@TomleyRC]

🤘

[@muskokamike127]

I've seen a few crossRC builds and yes, great instructions and quality. You struggling to get the pieces out of the foam reminds me of my large socket set....you need a prybar to get the sockets out of their pockets and a hammer to put em back in! Nice that they don't come loose and roll around but a pain in the arse if you're trying to get em out 1 handed.

[@mathieurbridwell1620]

Working with all that metal is making it even colder I'm sure.

[@TomleyRC]

Probably lol

[@sol029]

I'm a former mobile crane operator. I've seen vehicles like this in full scale buried several feet deep still moving because of the traction from that 10 or more in my case wheel drive. I hope this has the same steering options we do. Crab, rear independent and front obviously. Crazy engineering on those all terrain cranes. I'm also curious about the diffs. We have so many options.
