Can This Cheap RC Crawler Beat The FCX24?

[@patricklopez1799]

Fun fact, the JJRC body fits perfectly on a TRX4M.

[@neverender158]

Best way to start a Friday. Matt's off road recovery would be proud of that rescue.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Glad I could help, and that he would approve 😊😃

[@RCRoads]

Same amount of fun for less cost. I think the jeep looks better than the Blazer. Thanks for showing this cool crawler.

[@hiemerc-e2l]

That sounds you captured..! 🤩 Also like the new song in there.

[@MarcoL972]

What’s up bro, great review like usual! This truck uses the same platform AUSTAR ax8560, except for the body. The great thing about this truck it uses Trx4m parts! I have 2. One I completely upgraded with trx parts and the other i kept stock. Quick tip, you can get about double the steering angle by cutting off the the 2 steering lock tabs on the servo mount. Makes a huge difference.

[@raymondwendt6205]

Beat me to it. The second link is identical to the Austar. Awesome trucks. Mine is stock except trx4m shocks and a little brass. Turned it into a cool trail rig pulling the trx trailer.

[@MarcoL972]

@@raymondwendt6205 ya dude, especially for the price! First one I got for 70 then I saw it onsale for 59 bucks on BG so I had to jump on it lol. I Installed the hi lift oil shocks, hi clearance alloy links, servo and mount upgrade, big tires with brass beadlocks and brass axle weights. I had to cut the fenders off the body to fit the tires lol. It actually looks sick. To be honest though, after all the upgrades I did, I think I like using the stock one better. With a few minor tweaks it’s just really good how it is

[@DerbyCityRC]

Hey dude. Nice thanks for the info!! I had no idea Trx parts fit. I’m sure they’re not happy about that lol

[@MarcoL972]

@@DerbyCityRC ya no problem man, I’m pretty sure AUSTAR has a 1/10 crawler that uses trx4 parts 🤣Not sure how they get away with it??... Not all parts fit but most do. How did you like the low down modulation? It’s pretty nuts how nice the electronics are especially for the price

[@DesertBros760]

Nice! I'm gonna try that with the steering right now! I just got my ax8560 and have a cart full of parts on Amazon I'm gonna order soon. Any trx4m parts that haven't worked out for you?

[@michaeldorich4485]

That's a good little crawler. I noticed it had wipers also. I think for the price I think many people would have just as much fun with the Cherokee.

[@CK4RC]

Nice comparison! And I can confirm, losing your ball hitch is definitely poopy biscuits. 😂😂

[@DerbyCityRC]

Total poopy biscuits indeed!! I noticed it still attached when I first started my “final thoughts” speech, so it either fell out on the shelf or the bench lol

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Don’t forget, some of that weight on the JJRC is from the 370 motor they use in it! I have the wrangler version from Austar and it goes head to head with all my other mini’s, even the Redcat Ascent which is an awesome rig. I definitely think a few things like removing the spare tire and trailer hitch if you got one will help it a ton. Don’t forget to shave of those steering bumpers which definitely hold back it’s turning radius. Got mine earlier this year for like under $60! It’s a true winner in my book! Great video guys! Always love watching your channel! 🙌💯😎👍🏻

[@deanmachinerc]

Great vid! I love them both,I own the FMS already so I guess after seeing your vid, I must get this great looking Cherokee! RC on friend!☮️

[@Brettoh]

Just picked one up off eBay for £69 (can’t wait for AliExpress times!) - it’s an awesome little beast!

[@wadevallbona5314]

Not going to lie. I was thinking this thing wasn't going to be very good. I am wrong. Thoroughly impressed. And especially with that price! Quite capable

[@DerbyCityRC]

I thought the same! Came out awesome!!

[@cabsbass]

I can't wait for you to get your hands on one of those new Losi micro buggies, brother. Perhaps a brushless treatment, who knows 🤷‍♂️?

[@DerbyCityRC]

It’s one I’m considering 😃

[@Nerm78]

Oh so now you are a crawling expert are you Mr. Man! jk I thought when you started making these crawling videos they would be boring but since your crawling isn't about just finding the perfect lines like most and you tend to just go full beans I love em!

[@DerbyCityRC]

😂😂😂 yes I try to make it interesting and fun of course! Occasionally slow claims but I keep it as fast as I can lol

[@CrabShakMan]

Great vid man glad to see u teaching the youngens right.

[@QuinnsRC]

Hmmm. Buy the JJS, add shocks and brass portal covers and a budget electronics update of some kind. Maybe a killer budget build.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’ll likely do something like this! Even stock it’s crazy good for the price!

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Waaaaaay better than I expected. At the $71 price range.. it's Freaking Great! 🐯 But if it's $100 or more.. I'm going fms..

[@garrm0510]

Still not into the crawler style yet maybe it's because I don't feel like seeking out a place to run one. About how much time you get on one of these things.

[@RubenVieira-EXKRC]

wow those rigs are amazing great video🤟👍🙏 new subs👍👌💪

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!!

[@derrickhays3627]

Nice bank for the buck might have to get some for the fam! Thanks for sharing.

[@FeralRC]

We got the same JJRC a month or 2 ago. Cooked the ESC in less than 3 battery runs around the back yard. No brand support. Luckily a spare HW 1040 ESC got it back up and running. Of course also needed a receiver as well so the light features were gone and the internal BEC fried the light controller so all new LEDs too. Should have just gone with FMS.

[@DerbyCityRC]

That stinks a lot of people commenting have had good luck with it. Sucks they didn’t try to make it right. 😢

[@reyesgonzalez1816]

Un gran coche el jjrc. Si le añades un esc como el injora mb 100, tendrás el mejor crawler 1/18 barato, que hay en el mercado. Saludos desde España.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks that’s good to know!!

[@reyesgonzalez1816]

@@DerbyCityRC Si añades el esc injora, cómo te digo, tendrás lo mejor de Traxxas y lo mejor de FMS, en un sólo coche. Será mejor en todo. Gracias

What you have there is a trx4m clone only better than a trx4m. I have the JLU version. Every upgrade made for trx4m fits this truck

Neat! I had no idea 😂😂 but now I see several people commenting the same thing lol thanks!

[@archprizm6066]

They look same size? Is fcx18?.

[@DerbyCityRC]

These 2 are about the same. The fcx18 is a little bit bigger. This video here shows the difference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXXLhIhra71lhrssi=IYDtt8U7I4EkqEQP

I wonder if anybody knows of any flying drone attachments for RC cars that would right them, or place them in hard-to-reach places? Probably very impractical but I'm just curious if someone has done it.

[@Hutch_Davenport]

Just needs oil shocks, beadlocks and decent tires and it is a beast. JJRC/Austar are as good as any rtr Trx4m. Trx4m parts fit it too.

[@brsrc759]

It would be worth the money if the body was proportioned correctly. But it's so out of proportion that it hurts my brain. The body would basically be a throwaway item. 😥😥

[@Hutch_Davenport]

You can get the Wrangler version of the JJRC for $40 if you watch for a hood sale. It is the Austar 8650 I believe.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Good info thanks!! That’s a killer deal!

[@Hutch_Davenport]

Most Trx4m parts will fit the JJRC. The axles are wider so axle shafts and the steering bar do mot fit. Look for Trx4m Bronco compatible parts, not high trail parts.
