Did I Build The World's Fastest Rock Crawler!?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Spectacular runs, Phil. Amazing job, and I think you definitely own the record in the UK. For now. 😉

[@TomleyRC]

I think actually, I’ve probably got the world record for fasted Vanquish Phoenix…. I think we could decided by who can get there’s back to stock and crawling in the quickest time 😅

[@Brayrfd1192]

​@@TomleyRCnow do it to a trx4

[@nj2033]

What I ABSOLUTELY LOVE about this is the British engineering that went into this, and it very almost won using a a recycled plastic box when other channels spent thousands on titanium cages and carbon chassis'

[@TomleyRC]

Haha yes…. I should have gone on Scrap Heap challenge!

[@FarmerFpv]

Of course, I'm watching my boy Tomley's video first before the other ones. He blessed us with a 49-minute video! Excited to watch it. Starting now! EDIT: Just got done watching it! That was a fantastic video! I really enjoyed every minute of it. Sorry about the 2 comments. Just wanted to let you know that was insane, hope to see you do more challenges like this. Off to watch the other guys. Hope you win. Best of luck Phil!

[@TomleyRC]

Really appreciate the support dude👌. The other guys have all done awesome as well

[@toddbertram6556]

You get out of things what you put into things. Minimal effort here.

[@philiprccars4340]

@@TomleyRC Of course this was also my first video I watched before all the others, and about the comment about the 'minimum effort bit - Phil, haters and trolls be haters and trolls. Ugh, after reading some comments you really feel like you need to take a shower with some antiseptic shower gel, yuck!!!

DEFINITELY

Elon Gate 🤣 this guy KILLS me every single time 😂

[@boredom.victim]

the damage is good, it's a crawler that looks like it's had some bumps and bruises - perfect!

[@nielsjuhr594]

Love how you all took a bit of a different approach to the challenge and how you built your trucks. It looks like you all had fun and it was awesome to see your journey. Looks like you'll be able to adjust a few things and your be back out on the rocks with a really nice truck. Great job hitting 71, very impressive!

[@michaeldorich4485]

You did an excellent job. You demonstrated some ingenuity and adaptability. I think you should be proud of your work. You like movie quotes. As Sergeant Highway said, "You adapt. You overcome, and You improvise."

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you. I knew I had the right space and surface to run it on, so wanted to try and get as much smooth power as I could

[@pranckstyr]

Phil considering your truck looks the most like a stock VS4 Phoenix, you did an outstanding job with this challenge. I hope this collaboration makes you more visible to even more people in our hobby. Thank you for all your hard work and I’m glad you had fun doing it🤘🏻

[@impr3subie]

I think he should be well over the million sub mark.

[@daveovington5525]

I've been playing with my enduro gatekeeper trying to see how fast I can get it to go . I'm using a brushed system so far on 3s battery with an armma mega 12t motor and a hobbywing 1060 esc running it with my flysky gt5 remote so I set my dr setting down on the throttle and on the steering so I don't over steer ,lol. I don't have a GPS but I've got it going pretty fast on this set up . I also swapped out the 87tspur and 18t pinion for a 78t spur and 29t pinion . I did also have to limit my suspension travel using zip ties and am currently still using the general grabber tires that it came with but I had de lugged the rear tires which makes it a bit scary to go too fast but I plan to get some better tires for road and possibly throw in a brushless system too. Love this hobby , you can do whatever you like as long as you have a bit of imagination lol thanks for sharing this video , I thought I was the only nut job taking a crawler and making it fast lol

[@brianmassey7563]

I love that you kept it stockish in the chassis, body, and ride height. no crazy aero, and you still got a fast speed. Hats off to you and your effort! These were sooooo much fun to watch!

[@sakfpv8444]

I liked your build the best honestly. It's the only one that still looks like a crawler. I just got an element gatekeeper, I'm putting IFS on it, and a 3300kv 3s brushless system from an arrma typhon. Plan is 70-80mm shocks(to go lower) make it a little wider, and put a proline raptor body on it. Not building a basher, but I wanted to see how fast I could get a crawler in the dirt. I will break it...I know...but it's fun.

[@RC_Ludz_N_Co]

That was a super cool video, i'm super happy you were part of this mayhem. Very nice effort and idea you had with the boat mount and direct drive. Thanks a lot. Cheers Mate.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. Was so fun to do 👌

[@SINNER_01]

71MPH!!!!! That is CRUISING!!!!!

[@BlueDually4x4]

I was pretty excited when they mentioned you got invited to try this challenge. Haven't seen any of the other videos yet, but for such minimal changes 71mph is really solid. The boat motor mount seemed like it held up well and got you what you needed.

[@gabormihaly667]

32:43 The car will overturn foryou even on the straight section! How do you do this? This is true art! 🤣🤣

[@smashtj666]

I like the simple design and the ability to rework it for crawling later.....good job

[@corez09w50]

Very nice fastest so far that I've seen on watching these videos

[@Truth_Spoken]

You had the best build imho, nice to see you stick with as stock as possible.

[@PachezZ]

awesome :) Hope Josh can get you new body when its not available in UK :))

[@josephmorelli3191]

A lot of fun. I really like the look. Yours is the first video I watched. Didn’t realize you each would have your own video…of course it makes sense. Looking forward to watching the others, then seeing the results. GREAT JOB. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@dragonflyjoyride]

Nice job! Thank you for participating and making such a great video with some really good times. ✌🏼

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Matthew. 😎🙏

[@karter5351]

Great result. I looked at some of the other builds and they were mental on effort and re-design for not much more speed

[@automad]

Really enjoyed how you put the story together, the thought process etc. Hope you enjoyed the Mayhem as much as I did watching it

[@Sknapps92]

I love the three spokes on the rig , about three minutes into the video.

[@D.C.Johnson]

Well worth the wait. Everyone will probably give you well deserved applause on the build, well done. But your production value and story telling are top notch as well. Bangin

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you.... really appreciate it 👍

[@rcstories_ca]

That was great! I think your truck was the fastest with basically a stock chassis and no ground effects. Definitely the sleeper truck of the competition. You did have a great test track and you got lots of wheel time, so I imagine that helps with the confidence. On the other hand, you didn’t have ready access to spare parts so you couldn’t bash the heck out of it. All-in-all, one of my favourites of the competition.

[@JeffersonHumber]

Great video, Phil. I love this format, would be great it do these challenge videos more often and include other KZbin RC channels too. All do your own build videos so you all have content, the organic growth you could all generate would be so worth it.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, would love to do some more
