RC ADVENTURES - AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE, as FAST AS NECESSARY : Driver Training - Defender D90 Rover

www.RCSparks.com - 1080p HD to see my completed RC4WD Gelände II Defender D90 Rover in all of its GLORY! I got THiS TRUCK at store.rc4wd.com - In this film, I wanted to base the plot around the Camel Trophy Land Rover Tips and Tricks video - AS WELL, as give my fellow Scale 4x4 Trail Truckers a "How To" video for beginners. It's all meant in Comedy, Humour, and to simply have fun with a great Truck! I am totally impressed by its capabilities - and now fully understand the difference between a "Trail Truck", and a "Scale Trail Truck"!
I do have a Complete Build video series on this truck - and show you how I made it. Here is a link to the Full Playlist: • RC4WD Gelände II 4x4 T...

Enjoyed it Medic, My father taught me to drive 4wd before I was old enough to drive on the road, some 40 years ago. It was like re-living it all over, thankyou. The Gelande II is a great looking scale truck, you have built it well my friend.

[@higgout]

This is to date the best trailing video I have seen on KZbin. Awesome job Medic. You are truly a cut above the rest.

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

Another older video find!! It’s like locating treasures when I come across an RC Sparks video I haven’t seen. Love that you have so many out there Medic!!!

[@TheGetintoit]

Have been looking foward to this part of the build in this great set of videos.Thank you for your time man.

[@7demo7review]

Great job medic, your creativity knows no bounds!

[@Partok81]

So realistic. You really sweat the details Medic. Loved the retro audio included with this one. Great driving man!

[@Vanator36]

The truck looks amazing and I loved the training commentary in the background. One of the best crawling videos I've ever seen.

[@rcdesynz]

Still LOVE this vid! Watched it a few times and pick up more info each time. Thanks Medic!

[@HobgoblinUK]

Saw the build and painting vids on this. Nice to see it in action. Also great use of the Camel trophy introduction piece loved that.

[@Lentsnh17]

Absolutely awesome idea and video, Medic! I love the Camel Trophy tutorial in the background.

[@rbdworks4342]

Great job! Love the paint job! Thanks for doing the builds. Good luck with your first kid! It's fun and tiring all at the same time.

[@papark]

Just amazingly done Medic.

Gotta love the effort that goes into these videos. Excellent job.

[@vthcbbr]

Back to good footage and awesome touch with the how-to!! Great Video!!

[@GemCityGypsy]

thanks and i do see where you coming from now. After you've explained that, the more videos i watch of scale trucks i get more and more as to why people drive them so slow and technical and where it could be enjoyable to get into... possibly a scx10 in my future

[@dgs27mich]

Another great video medic, your videos inspire me to invest in a scaled crawler / trail .

[@sharpfang667]

love the shows, love the forums, love RC!

[@EVOCrawler]

One of your best videos and my personal favorite. Greetings from Germany @4AM and keep up your amazing hobby-work.

[@SStech975]

This video is really good! Actually very relaxing to watch & matched perfect with the narration audio. Must have taken a long time to get enough footage to make this. Videos like these are what makes your channel the best!

[@MudMisfit]

Great build series, learned lots of trick of the trades, and of course that was perfect narrating for you video!! Keep up the great work!

[@JessVideoDude]

Hi Medic, another AWESOME video, thank you for all your hard work.

[@Khorsathedark]

Medic, this is hands down one of your best videos. Not only the sound track, but the course you were driving. In my opinion better than running through the stony creek any day.

[@3DPRINTDESIGNSND]

I LOVE the new rig medic! hop to see it at the TTC

[@hibbenshot]

This is a epic video man! Your editing skills are as good as you R/C'ng skills! Awesome!

[@slaw11975]

[@ShawnTheSilentLurkerKerr]

Awesome as always... Love the old "how to" soundtrack.

[@MountainStorm]

I've watched a lot of your videos but this is one of my all time favorites. Great sound track.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thank you my friend. I am so glad you enjoyed this video!

[@therclandroverlad2801]

+RCSparks Studio™ a question : how do you get a sound on your trucks

[@TheRealRCSparks]

James Johnson this particular truck doesnt actually have sound.. I edited in appropriate engine sound in post production

[@therclandroverlad2801]

Ok but what makes the sound come out is there a sound box?

[@TheRealRCSparks]

James Johnson Im sorry, you misunderstand me. There is no sound in the truck. I added it to the film when I edited the story.

[@rhyanwilliams3818]

Wow, looks sooo nice running. :) great work as usual medic.

[@Boofpanda]

This is by far the coolest video i have ever seen. Keep it up bro!:)

[@SteelWheel240]

Definitely liked the Scale driving with the addition of the British fellow giving driving tips. Very awesome take on driving school.

[@Codesempire]

It's broke in now. The scratches add character to it. Awesome build medic. Love the view from inside.

[@dirtfan4v]

I love the audio. Great job on the video. A timeless lesson on driving a 4wd off-road. Scale or not. :)

[@ganeshsubramaniam09]

Awesome build and running videos dj medic... Admire your passion for rc'ing!!

[@artardFTW]

Medic this may be your most realistically looking rc adventure. I like

[@elgueroaero]

There is some kickass production on this video, Medic :)

[@gouldbowman]

I still love this vid. ADVENTURING! As much as I love the Trailfinder and Gelande, I do hear that it isn't meant to be as "abused" as the Axial's, but man.... that rig looks GOOD! B-)

[@damedcamera]

4:20 was a great shot :) great save at 5:33 Beauty trail buddy! Nice to see you on the trail again :)

[@MrJcosenza79]

Looking good man!! Love that inside view, looked cool.

[@lucasgustin2260]

I like how he put the tire on the front of the gellande 2.its pretty cool the way it looks.and dj medic you rock.you like the best person to post an rc video.and you would be the only person id watch for it.

[@tuffnstuffrc4434]

You did a great job with your Gelande medic. It's funny how most of what the narrator is saying actually applies to scale rigs as well. Nice video.

[@taylorcammarn5808]

djmedic i just want to take a moment to say thank you. thank you for your amazing videos.

[@asdfsyo]

This is your best video so far,I'm sure ! Can you give information on what leds were used for the headlights ?

[@Danboarding]

Man, that RC4WD Gelände II Defender D90 Rover turned out really nice! Great scale look, especially with all those accessories! Brilliant work on audio track as well, LOVE IT!

[@sngwrtr77]

One of the best rc videos I have ever seen! It's like those old tamiya scale videos but better!

[@Borgthespacewalker]

Great job Medic, commentary was awesome, I really liked watching the Camel Trophy vids on KZbin. I grew up 4wd-ing with my old man in several vehicles, he always said 'be sure, go slow, have plenty of torque' easy enough when you have a 5.3l stroked '84 Range Rover

[@rockinrc4146]

That was neat Medic. Love watching your videos. Scale truck is next on my list.

[@twrecks116]

your videos are like MINI-MOVIES!! all of em simply AWESOME!! theyre Fun to watch and always EXCITING!! 10 stars all the way!!!

[@rob37greenbike]

WOW! GREAT VIDEO.. AGAIN. I love coming home from work to my wife and some sparks. keepem comin.

[@Anonymuz187]

I think this is one of his best videos .. Right down to the tutorial dialog ... Awesome dude hope all is well with the fam

[@paulgabrielle1]

diggin the video, brings me back to the old medic vids that inspired me to pick up a camera and start filming my own RC's. well done sir.

[@drewlipp6778]

im 13 and u r the 1 reason i got into rc so thank u sooo very much

[@averybush2177]

I like the light set up, it nice watching with out the turn single blinking every time you go to correct a turn

[@djandv]

THAT RIG TURNED OUT SO SWEET!

[@optimusdude]

First time seeing this video. I love the narration.

[@ccthotroder1]

Every kids needs to watch this good job.

[@kylemm1995]

One of my favorite trucks I've seen on your channel man great work!!! More vids please!! Haha :)

[@pininfarina575]

one of RCAdventure's finest moments. awesome video

[@MrWhoadudewhoa]

This has to be the coolest video on youtube.

[@payne1003]

Watched a few years after this was made, but I love the how to video guide and then the how you did the "wrong" at a couple parts in the video.

[@TeamIngel]

I like how the words are matching the pictures! Very funny, well done!

[@XxcoddeclassifiedxX]

that's got to be one of the best videos I have ever seen I need more !

[@LawrenceGerman]

This is was a fabulously edited video MEDIC. The "How To" video sound track was sooo classic. This is up there with the Overkill In The Muddy Forest video. I'm so sharing this out with a few of my favorite communities. AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!

[@JDeanMurray]

Quite possibly your BEST video EVER!

[@FanatikBuilds]

Love it man!! Great work on the truck and video! :) Oh, and just so you know, most (if not all) Defenders have the amber front light on the bottom, not top! But maybe it's too late to change that! :) Take care, and hope you are Jem are doing well.

[@nabob14]

I think this is your best video yet!! It's fantastic!!

[@peterfedi]

AMAZING!! Was looking forward so much for this video and now it's even better! thank you and greetings from germany!

[@ccdbcvtrider1]

That is the best build of the D90 Ive seen. Would so love to own one like that

[@dvcleric]

Man, second post in a raw. this is most creative rc vid i ever saw. 8:00 liked the shot with focus on small plants, its giving the sense of 1\1 vehicle. Bravo!

[@IOioiIO]

The audio is awesome. Love the driving too!

[@paultro8457]

The engine sound in this video goes perfectly. Great job brother 💪💪

[@VoyageRC]

That was a great edit Medic! The truck sounds strong. lol She looks like she handled the terrain with ease.

[@CWR2011RC]

Medic is on the trails again, awesome. Wicked job, thumbs up

[@craigschofield64]

Very nice job on this vid...love how the commentary matches the vid awesome! Reminds me of the tv commercials when I was a kid back in the 60's and early 70's

[@AndreRouzo]

[@pixelpusher3589]

Love the old school commentary 🤘🏻
