Cross RC HC4 and the Camo TF2 in Scale Town - RC CWR

Cross RC HC4 a 1971 AM General Deuce and a Half military truck, gone farm truck. Now lets see the HC4 and TF2 take on the rocks of Kananaskis Country. Thanks to Brian Port for wheeling with me on the this beauty day. Brian wants to get into the scale side of RC and wanted to try both the Cross RC and RC4WD, so thats what we did. 3 2 1 Scale. They are both very similar rigs with the low CG, very stable trucks, leaf springs and both have a 2 speed tranny. Like I always do, I will be making some mods to the HC4. I want to suck the front bumper back, so that have a better approach angle on the rocks. Then make a skid plate that goes under the gas tank and step, to make it slide better on the rocks. For all those guys out there that have a HC4, please comment below what mods and changes that you have made to your rigs. Thanks for watching and commenting, Cheers.

Great build! The little 049 engine coming out of the panel under hood is an interesting touch. Love it.

Thank you :-)

[@BC-rc]

3/17/2018 4:46, attention to detail is amazing. Nice job!

[@CWR2011RC]

Thanks Brian, it was a fun build. I assume the time you put was for the decal giveaway. It's the time in the video that you see it, not actual time of the day. So any time between 6:52 and 7:16 would acceptable on the video minute counter. You're still entered for this one but just so you know for next time :-) Cheers bud

[@Shamrockjason]

Awesome vid man.. had me fooled in the beginning. Nice work on the right and vid!!

[@CWR2011RC]

[@CWR2011RC]

LOL thanks jeff, ya he we did rescue him :-) Cheers bud

[@rd584983]

That deuce 1/2 is bad ass man; saw you on djmedics vid at the crawler comp. I like that you used one of those tiny nitro plane engines as a air filter can, nice touch.

[@CWR2011RC]

Thanks bud, ya I came in second on the comp :-) and good eye on the plane engine filter, I've never had a nitro plane but I got that from a kijiji deal with a bunch of crawler stuff. Glad you liked it, Cheers

[@ricksscalerc2222]

At first i thought you made the bear a wake board at 653..lol..great job,the deuce and a half looks great!

[@CWR2011RC]

LOL that would be awesome. Ya the deuce turned out great :-) Thanks Rick, Cheers bud

[@stevelangley246]

That is the most incredible truck I've ever seen. The TF2 was nice too. I was all set to get a tf2 until I saw this video (probably 10 times now). I love the detail. Mine came yesterday and I can't wait to start the build. I haven't decided on a color scheme yet I just know NOT military and I will try to weather it. Keep up the good work! BTW, nice videography too.

[@CWR2011RC]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoy the truck and videos. The HC4 and TF2 are very similar trucks and lot of fun to drive both :-)

[@michaelthomas3262]

Awesome Video again 👍🏻 and i see a bear on a iceplate at 6:59 👏🏻

[@CWR2011RC]

Thanks Michael, it was a great day on the rocks :-) Cheers bud

[@jledet01]

[@CWR2011RC]

[@richardbartl8013]

Cool 🙋‍♂️👍👍👍✌

[@CWR2011RC]

Thanks :-)

[@rctrailcats3492]

Impressive realism! Don't know to watch the crawl or the truck.

[@CWR2011RC]

Thanks bud, it was a fun build :-) Cheers

[@RcBasherBoi]

Great run, bear at 6:53 👆👍7:05

[@CWR2011RC]

Good eye, Thanks bud, Cheers

[@Ed-ty1kr]

And the chain just hangs there ever so close to getting run over, but it dont. Lol, mine always gets caught under a tire for some reason. But checkin out the raised rust sim on that body, and I must say... Very nicely done. I see so many smash and bash videos, and thats great n all if you like to cringe. But this is where its at for me.

[@CWR2011RC]

LOL ya I've ran the chains over a few times too :-) Glad you like the rusting detail, every job I learn a little more and get a little better. Its a great hobby and there is so many sides/part to that there's something for everyone :-) I'm loving the scale side of things right now too. Cheers

[@GeneralHobbies]

right on right on...

[@CWR2011RC]

Thank you thank you ;-)

[@ExperienceRC]

Smashed it Chris, awesome video, love the noises the rigs are making in this, well done 👍 however, if you keep releasing amazing content and buying awesome rigs I may have to unsubscribe. I honestly don’t think I could tell the misses I want a Cross RC now too 😂

[@CWR2011RC]

LOL thanks bud, it was a great day on the rocks. And ya I hear you on the new RCs, I have a large list of wants too ;-) Cheers

[@ambermoore4677]

@@CWR2011RC how was the build on that just got the sg4 demon that was fun

[@earlrcguymartin244]

Just got my hc4 kit today . Any tips on weathering i tryed watching some vids but wat to many options.. thanks for any sugestions you may have.

[@CWR2011RC]

Paint a few different coats (under coat primer colours, flat black and or rust colour) then do the finish colour coat lightly and sand through. I use fine grit sand paper and the green kitchen dish scrubby to sand and take the shin off everything. Hope that helps :-) Cheers

[@losangelesrccrawlers3738]

653 walking on water haha

[@CWR2011RC]

LOL who does Little Bear think he is anyways :-) Cheers bud

[@blackdiamondrcranch897]

That’s week 2 that I forgotten to put the time in for the bear 🐻 6:53 will be my guess for them Stickers for my rig

[@CWR2011RC]

LOL thanks bud, Cheers

[@lacucaracha111111]

you should be able to flip servo mount and connectingrod+ knuckles 180° to have it behind the axle , my HC6 woks like that

[@CWR2011RC]

Sweet, I'll look at the for sure. Thanks for the tip :-) Cheers bud

[@lacucaracha111111]

servo mount holes are symmetrical, and with the standard dogbones you cant steer far enough to hit the shocks
