Cross RC EMO X3 and MJX H8H AllRock!

[@clytngrn]

What a fantastic collaboration. You guys both make great content. Cheers.

[@RCTNT]

Thanks Clayton! It was a great morning 😁

[@Gibsonlife573]

This is freaking awesome there's nothing like especially for you guys as age I'm not saying there's nothing bad there but it's really really cool to see two you know mid-age gentlemen out there just hanging out having a damn good time

Lol thanks, I think

Aussie was the reason I purchased my first R/C...6's KRATON..!!! GREAT HOBBY!!!

Nice. Yeah it is a great hobby eh :)

Congratulations on your win at the NATS 🤟🏿💯💪🏿👍🏿

Thanks, I've got a fun on that showing some of the drives. It was such a fun event! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXLJnGidocd6apo

[@derrickhays3627]

Very nice team up and the emo looks really nice. Thanks for sharing

[@RCTNT]

Thanks for watching!

[@steveblackbird]

Thank You Craig for getting Vas into crawling. He's resisted going down that path for a while lol. A good set of wheels/Tyres and proper 2 stage foams, or Anti-foams will help the big rig tremendously. Awesome honest review of the MJX. As a 1/10th crawler fan myself of about 6 years, I was very tempted in getting the Cross RC X2. Do love my RC's in bigger sizes. SCX-6 is pushing it though lol. Epic..looking forward to you guys doing more vids together.

[@RCTNT]

It was a really fun time out, we're both looking forward to more 👍 I've told him I have a great set of wheels and tires that will transform the allrock if he has the chance to drive with us again. Fun times!

[@MrCveedub]

The 3D printed tow plate is brilliant

[@jameswisecarver]

Thumbnail is a nice shot, good lookin rig! Craig will show me how it performs! Thanks buddy, hope all is well!!

[@RCTNT]

Thanks, all good 👍

[@Andy_Yates]

Putting that Cross through the stress test! Looks like a fun rig, Cross definitely has some good looking body options. I just mounted their JT4 body on my mullet build. Sacrificing a chunk of performance for a 600 gram body but it sure looks good 😁. Fun to see you showing someone new to crawling how it's done. It's a different kind of challenge from the go-fast stuff and really fun!

[@RCTNT]

Right on! I'm looking forward to when Vas publishes his video from the day, too. He 'got' crawling after this. Had a big smile on his face. We're gonna hang out again soon, it was a good morning.

[@alantaylor353]

If you like these, you'll love the Traction Hobby 1/8 rigs. I have the Cragsman Jeep.. They're 4S capable with a Hobbywing 880 ESC with a big 775 motor, have locking diffs, 2 speed & have metal axles.! They're very durable too.!

[@RCTNT]

Thanks Alan, I've considered these a few times. I know you're a fan 😎

[@applefordguy76]

I've had my EMO for about 3 months. Threw in a HW Axe system in it and its insane. Super slow crawl, and on 6s its basher fast! Its an absolute beast. Was on Cross RC's website the other day, and they currently have the EMO XL6 on sale in the US for $499! Same price as a TRX4 in the US! Ordered one up. They are such a beast of a crawler. I'd love an SCX6 some day, but I do like the features of lockable/unlockable diffs, whereas the Axial doesnt have that right? Once again, great vid my friend. I have told a few friends of mine about your channel and told them to sub! BTW, thanks for the 3D file for the tow truck mod, I will be printing this week!

[@RCTNT]

I love everything you just said. Thanks, nice find, and glad you're enjoying it all! A friend of mine bought the 6x6 and threw an Axe into it, he's really happy with it. Can't argue with the price, eh! Cheers

[@Warby1]

Wow, what a great vid. Awesome rig, which I've recently become interested in and 2 of my favourite Aussie RC youtubers. Thanks

[@RCTNT]

It was fun to make this one! Cheers

[@Warby1]

@@RCTNT have you also seen the EMO XL 6X6 6WD? Looks wicked 👌

[@RCTNT]

@Warby1 yeah, a mate has one. They're pretty sweet. Though the new x4 arguably looks even better. Whichever one grabs you, the entire cross rc 1/8 range is just amazing. Great value, durable, decent enough electronics. Really only the tires are a bit of a weak point as far as crawling goes, and they're not terrible, just a bit ordinary. Can't argue with the value, they're great machines, all said!

[@Warby1]

@RCTNT your mates got one? I thought they were only on pre-order. Early release, maybe?

[@RCTNT]

AliExpress for the win

[@michaeldorich4485]

This a great video. I enjoyed that it was spontaneous since your truck broke. I learned a lot. It's good to get the perspective of a competition driver like yourself. I enjoyed the conversation between you two. After I watched this video I went to another KZbinr, Derby City RC, and watched his video of the MJX. He's very thorough in his coverage of the truck and his test was from the perspective of the way many people would drive the truck. It held up well. I think your view is vitally important, because some people may think, "I can compete with this rig." That's why KZbin is so good.

[@RCTNT]

Quite right! There's an audience for pretty much everything and there's value for everyone in the sharing of knowledge. I really like this aspect too.

[@michaeldorich4485]

@@RCTNT I'll be interested to see your complete evaluation of the MJX.

[@jeffparryncc1701]

Woohoo Vas 😎👍 Oh... brilliant cars too 😊

[@YoShImUrA53]

That was a 2 for 1 review! And got someone else in the hobby! Brilliant! Loved the gate design for the tow reminded me of those I saw on older American movies. Have never seen then in real life or currently. Being an older style truck it fit it perfectly as a scale detail. The MJX Trx4 wannabe fell a bit short especially for the price, but maybe MJX are just trying to get their feet on it. Maybe their next try will be a more committed, and original one.

[@canuckchuck8836]

Two of my favourite RC channels doing a collaboration! Both of your channels are the best and most insightful in your respective driving genres. Are there plans to do more videos together in the future? 👍👍

[@RCTNT]

That's awesome, thank you! And yep, just gotta get our schedules to align. We've tried a couple of times already to bash together but our availability is kinda exactly opposite! I'd like to try flying with Vas too, that'd be cool. Cheers for that.

Thanks for the great review. Now I want a tow truck. I have no idea why. But i want one😅. I like the Watts link, different and cool

[@RCTNT]

It's a really fun rig. Durable, too - rear axle breakage notwithstanding. I really did punish it and regret not getting the silly big air on camera. Had a lot of fun with it!

[@pocketfuloducks1062]

Good looking truck, too!

[@RCTNT]

They simply nailed it with this one, didn't they!

I've been interested in this one for a min.. I saw one at Beat the Creek 24, and it is pretty sweet looking in person. Good stuff buddy 👍

[@jhrubicon1470]

Just found this channel. I really like the way you break things down. I'm in the states and I've ordered the MJX H8H (all rock) and still waiting for delivery from Ali. It's $412 USD, that includes tax & shipping. Keep in mind shipping is taking over a month. So we'll see how I like it. Keep up the great work!!

Just wondering where abouts in Melbourne you guys are. Great little spot. Keep up the great videos 👍.

Around the Plenty Gorge area - our next comp in this spot will be probably Jan or Feb next year I'd expect.

[@surfside75]

Oh yeah!🎉 This looks like it will be fun and I like Cross I just don't have. Cost a ton here in USA.😢

[@RCTNT]

They do seem quite expensive across the pond, yeah. We get Asian brands cheaper here, while we pay through the nose for USA brands. Makes sense really!

[@Andrew_Red]

They are looking great, and to be honest, who wouldn't want a little bit of a towing truck in their collection?😁

[@RCTNT]

[@espettorc2583]

Legal essa pedreira!!!

It's actually a dam and yes, it's a fantastic place! Our club will hold a weekend crawl comp there in November. There's a caravan/camping park 5 minutes' walk from the place, too. We can do a night run along the river as well, on Saturday night. Will be excellent 😁

[@boduke9428]

I wonder if that tow truck bed would fit on either of the TRX6 platforms? I've got the G63 that i never drive and have been looking for ideas to turn it into something more interesting. An OBS Ford or square body cab with that bed would definitely be more interesting.

[@RCTNT]

Length wouldn't be a problem but the width would be. These rigs are quite wide, while the Traxxas crawlers are long but narrow, relatively.

[@xlogo4791]

[@rafalst]

Renember i mentioned some videos ago about AliExpress RCs and you said to put their names here? I forgot and just renembered now, so let me put them here: -AUSTARHOBBY AX-8509 1/10 Cherokee -HG P415A 1/10 4*4 RC (seems to be from Trasped) -RGT Jimny 1/10 136100v3 -HG 1/10 4WD Pickup RC TH04723 -RGT 1/10 Ex86100pro V2 -FMS FCX10 1/10 Chevy K5 -2024 New 1/10 Mn222 Rc -HB-R1001 1/10 (From HB Toys it seems) -HB-R1014 1/10 (a jeep gladiator body, same brand from one above) The HB the MN222 (and one more i cant renember) are very cheap from what i seen. RGTs are classic, but they seem cheaper there. Also, you did a overhaul of the MN82 not long ago, and i think they are the same brand of the MN222.

[@RCTNT]

Oh nice, that's a great list, thank you. I actually have videos already here of the 136100v3 the FCX10 Chevy K5, but I'll look into the others, thank you! Appreciate you taking the time.

[@staysmallrc]

The tow truck looks the part for sure but limited use because any rig livery like jurrasuc park, or police theme etc only look interesting but it won't be your go to truck in most cases, mine for sure. Too pricy for occasional fun even if you upgrade it.. like an FMS version of the scx6. Looks the part. Thanks for your consistent and cerebral reviews. 👍

[@RCTNT]

The flashing police lights are optional. Also has high beam, low beam, and flashing. I think the livery on this one is pretty legit - and you can remove stickers too, of course. I like this range of vehicles, I reckon they're making pretty decent stuff these days! Cheers

I love this one man I haven’t wanted a new crawler in a long while but this one makes me want it to play around with and I’m curious how to find those brass upgrades if you possibly have a link to share and how much roughly was all the pieces you upgrades yours with cause I feel like that would make it an absolute unit to drive around!

Haha it's just way too much brass. Go for the outers but don't get the diff cover and metal axle enclosures, that's my advice. Other weights here: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mrCjPqk If you really want the axles, they're here: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mLvheVA

[@aorchotika]

Hi mate loving the channel. Quick question: Just ordered metal axles from Ali Ex for my SCX10III Early Bronco. Do you know if the gears and internal components are directly interchangeable with the Axial stuff? Cheers

[@RCTNT]

Without more info I really can't say. I can tell you these things generally are compatible, at least. On Ali, look at the Description and look closely - you might be able to see for yourself. Sometimes there are dimensions shown, too. The other place to look is the Reviews for that product. If it doesn't fit, people will generally tell the world about it!

[@aorchotika]

@RCTNT Cheers mate yes I have watched a bunch of reviews and seems they are decent and reliable but internal interchangeability wasn't covering but I'd say will be fine. Was just thinking of using the Axial gears as they might be better but I'll learn all this through the experience I'd say. Cheers

That's generally what I do, too. I bet they'll be compatible.

No worries. I'll try to grab one but even if I can't (or at least, in time for you), there are still plenty of other legit youtube people doing their thing, I'd expect. Tomley can miss some details that I want to know about on crawlers specifically, but that's not his thing and that's fine, we all have our specialities. But this MJX is a basher and for faster stuff he'd be a quality source of info about a car. Better than me for experience with fast stuff for sure - but I'll give it the treatment too, if I can get one. Cheers
