I had a play with one the other day it's epic! I think your rear bumper is on upside down

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Agree with you!👋🤣👍good catch!

yea didn't notice until someone pointed it out.. strange:) love your vids btw! -Alex

[@InvisiMan2006]

Ah, Kev. No doubt you'd find a way to break this metal micro crawler in half by installing a 6s, 7700kv motor in it! =) And we'd all have fun watching you do it! What happened?? =)

[@theascenderrc8545]

Wait you did?

[@slebdad]

You guys should check out the 1/32 Orlandoo crawler kits.

[@Project-Air]

Gotta love a Land Rover Defender! I’m sure this crawler would be popular here in the UK. 😊

[@Alex_Beech]

Seems like lots of people that watch this channel enjoy the mini/micro cars and trucks. I definitely appreciate the love to the small stuff!

One word for this RC CAR. *AMAZING*

[@akichisel2538]

7:46 right there. I feel you man! I have 26 of those(including burago) From 1990 to 2002. And that's why it looks very cool

[@michaelkeefer630]

This is the first time I've seen someone drive this truck that makes it look fun. Most of the time there trying to go too fast through grass or something. Good job with that. Also the rear bumper bumper is on upside down .

[@FliteTest]

that's interesting.. It came that way..

[@IJumpRC]

That thing looks so fun! And you can just keep it in a backpack and crawl it anywhere you are. Thanks for the insight!

I would like to see more videos on this channel in general. Especially fpv adventures on like trails or something.

[@thenatedog]

Great review. Looks like fun.

[@dustinfaulkner1557]

EXC 1/24th scale barrage for $99. I bought 3 of them. I for each of my 4 y/o daughters and one for my 4 y/o niece. they're not all metal, but at $99 they're much more palatable. they've also beat the shit out of them and they're still still going strong. if you get a chance, you should check them out. it comes in blue.

[@Drive_On]

ECX is a great bargain brand! Available in hobby stores only I believe

[@PYROxSYCO]

@@Drive_On Amazon and Ebay sell them, but they go super fast. A brand called "RGT" sells a truck like this as well.

[@didierneeferc]

it looks amazing and the shocking looks really real life when it drives around even more then on 1:10th scales.

[@cl5221]

In terms of all the aftermarket stuff you can do RC4WD is a great company for that. The rock crawler RCs are real cool if you want realism and customization. I bought a axial 1/10 sc10 and it's got tons of aftermarket support.

[@megustachuletas3956]

This is actually really cool.

[@freemansfocus]

Totally do FPV with this little guy! And maybe a Star Wars action figure in the driver’s seat, lol.

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

I’d love to see you guys do a video series on micro crawlers. Like the SCX24 and Carisma MSA1E and any others in 1/24. Like a review with driving tips and also maintenance and mod videos that also discuss what parts are on the market, what tools and other basics to buy for this scale, and also maybe review warranty response. I’ve read Carisma has great customer service. Also maybe something about adapting non rc bodies to these small scale chassis.

[@toddbertram6556]

Looks great but for the money buy a 1/10 scale. I'd love to have one but just isnt worth 300.

[@josephdavis2695]

It doesn’t cost $300. You can get one with a battery right now from RPP for $199. Any decent RTR 1/10 scale with a pack and charger is gonna run closer to twice that.

[@isaacsparkman7619]

Wooowwww. I need one. Looks like it has potential to me, and I love blue so. Yeah. BEAUTIFUL

[@caseyscoolstuff5346]

Pretty cool, but if you want to go small and can't have oil shocks, you may as well go all the way with a 1/32 Orlandoo kit and save a few bucks in the process... they don't have a D90, but do have a D110. They aren't RTR, but that's part of the fun...

[@indigowicker]

Because of Covid the mini scale crawler hobby has really expanded. There are so many different trucks available like the axial scx24, panda hobby, Hobby plus, and many others. People who were stuck inside are building scale scenery and indoor crawler courses for these things.

[@awe_rc8380]

Nice review man!

[@stuartroberts9993]

I have the first version but with the twin motor set-up. Yur review sums it up perfectly. It's for someone who already has a crawler. It basically replaced one of my 1:18 diecast cars as it has more detail & can actually be used.

[@jeffkeith637]

Metal! And that suspension articulation is outstanding. It is pricey though.

[@AmpHibious]

yeah! desk crawling is the best.i got a RGT adventurer for 80$ fantastic value.

[@norgtube]

1/24th is awesome when it's pouring down and you don't feel like dragging your kiddo into the weather. If you don't want all the scale stuff, a barrage is a good way to test the water.

[@trinidadsanchez3342]

Reminds me of Stompers with a remote, but that was way back👍

[@droks510]

Hell yeah!!! Stompers were my favorite toys growing up..those little guys were unstoppable.

[@satyanpatel6403]

You can buy a complete ECX Barrage with battery, charger, and controller for 99.00 bucks. Or with FPV camera and screen for 149.00. I have a ECX Torment 1/10 scale and I have yet to replace anything on it. It may be plastic, but it's durable flexible plastic. I do like this one, and do understand the price point it is very attractive. Would love to see a fpv setup in this.

[@worthlessdays8365]

Take my money- looks like a blast

[@magigale]

Thanks for the honest review! Btw the rear bumper is upside down

[@timmerz8569]

also if u move links from inside frame to outside frame on lower links on galande ii it greatly improves suspention mmovement

[@PYROxSYCO]

ECX Barrage is a nice truck. It may not be as smooth as the Gelonde but it is a nice RC for the price. I have one myself.

[@Mekhanic1]

Where did you get that yellow fire cabinet!? Thanks for the cool videos!!!

[@bigtreesfall]

I still want one of these...

[@dutchloveRC]

when u consider its a scaled down 1/10th scale for 1/2 the price, it really is a good deal!, a lot of time making it smaller with the same detail and quality the price goes up

[@adamfacey5555]

Good job on this vid guys

[@rsc7589]

Check out the Hobby Plus CR-24. It's $90 and it crawls like a champ, and has waterproof electronics.

[@ken-kamm]

That’s an awfully wobbly drivetrain at that price point. Even the wheels are wobbling.

[@johndonovan7018]

tires are mounted badly on all of these. wheels and axles are straight. remount the tires proper

[@josephdavis2695]

I don’t think people are understanding why these little guys are priced the way they are. You’re paying for a fully “upgraded” (see: metal drive train, links, Yota axles) scaler. Plus you’re getting a hard body. Servo is metal geared, etc. I mean you guys aren’t paying attention if you think this is over priced. Those Yota axles alone are worth the price of entry.

[@airbats801]

Never been very happy with rc4wd. They are neat, and do something different. I remember picking up a tf2. FIrst time out, drive shafts and front cv took a dump on me with medium use on some mild rock and sand enviorment. Basically, you have to buy mip cvd and their "xvd" to get it to run decent. Their leaf springs loose memory quick too. Then I had to fix the trans, after it was all fixed, it was a nice rig though.

[@slate613]

So this video begs 2 questions. Fair warning, they're fairly silly, fun based questions. #1 How long til you get the mini crawler course built in/on/thru the office? #2 Have you considered frankensteining a quad motor to one of the mini cars? I honestly have no idea if the power/torque will power a car vs a quad, but It might be an exercise in hilarity!.

[@dakotasnow1174]

The dual motor mod for the ecx barrage beats everything else in this class, hands down the best micro crawler.

[@rayikaikin]

[@rmdcade1717]

I was in the process of prepping a "tiny whoop of crawler RC" comment when I hear you make the same comparison. :P

[@TestECull]

Pretty snazzy little thing, but the drag link is way too short. The toe-in is a large part of why you can't hardly turn that thing. Perhaps in the future we could get some nitro content from Drive On? Kyosho and Traxxas both still offer a smattering of nitro surface stuff and I absolutely LOVE my Mad Crusher GP!

[@wepntech]

Don't have the money for this kind of stuff, but it's fascinating.

Hey guys, just subbed, and love the content! I have the Traxxas e revo 2.0, and it is incredible - totally worth the money. you guys should totally get it, bash it, then do a glider tow with it on your flitetest channel. Also, do an Alex vs Stefan boneyard resurrection with the blender and toaster planes! That would be epic. keep up the awesome work!!

[@combustionpropulsion4883]

Just got the jeep wrangler version 5 days ago!

[@Drive_On]

How do you like it?

[@combustionpropulsion4883]

@@Drive_On I love it, even with its tiny motor, they geared it down enough that it gets what it needs to done. The whole chassis is aluminum and it gives the truck some weight and durability. The body is super detailed and puts the truck together. The only things I don't like about it is that, 1. The wheels don't turn very much, but after a while you get used to the small turning radius. 2. There is not as much flex as I would like. But it makes it more scale feeling. 3. You have to unscrew the body from the chassis every single time, but the battery lasts forever and there are only 4 screws holding it on so you should be fine (my TRX-4 takes about the same time with all of the light kit wiring) Besides all of that, I love the truck! Unlike 1/10 scale vehicles you don't need a huge space to crawl, your house is a planet for the truck. That is why I wanted one, and really why anyone would get one, because they don't need any space to crawl. It's a fun truck really, but remember this is hobby grade not toy grade, so it will cost more, last longer, and drive better. If you want a 1/18 scale rc that won't go fast but has a good amount of power, get this one.

[@combustionpropulsion4883]

Sorry that was soo long, I was trying to be as descriptive as possible. One more addition though, the truck comes with everything you need to get it running, but it doesn't have any stickers or decals applied, so I hope you don't mind putting on stickers if you get this truck. Hope the review from my point of view helped anyone that was still on the edge.

Yes, I think an WPL RC vehicle, if given the appropriate metal upgrades, may perform just as well. I've seen the videos on the WPL competitions in Malaysia. Really interesting. Too bad there's no such events in Singapore because people tend to focus on the bigger and higher end models.
