ECX Barrage - Running Bear Creek

[@midliferc1165]

Your review sold it, this sealed the deal!!! What a capable rig for being new to the scene... I think my boys are gonna love it!!! Thanks bro!👍🏻👍🏻

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Man. I really do appreciate that! I agree with you, very capable rig. Your boys will be smiling from ear to ear... All the best Man, appreciate you stopping by and leaving that great comment!

[@santiagovelez1823]

After this awesome ECX Barrage video don't know what ECX's bad critics could said. This rig is wonderful and price is unbelievable. Thanks ECX!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thank you very much, appreciate that! I agree with you, ECX is putting out a great product at a very affordable price...not much to complain about. Thanks for watching!

[@thegasman7011]

Great scenery. I can smell the fresh air! Sweet video. If I may, you only need is deactivating the camera forward recording indicator.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks, really appreciate it!! Yeah, I broke my screen protector which had the "blinking light" covered up....forgot to put on a new one before filming. Thanks for having a look!

[@satorrotas]

Great run and nice crawling !! Very good video !!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Pascal! Thanks for stopping by.

[@philnrunt]

I just bought mine last week, so far it has impressed me a bunch! I was trying to explain what it was capable of to a friend, once I saw your EXCELLENT video. I told him to watch it. No further explanations needed! I'll be looking forward to your next vid!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks for the nice comment, appreciate it! It is a really fun rig...I've enjoyed it from day 1.

[@hollyhillrc]

I really like this Barrage. I only got my first RC trailer/crawler a month ago which is a Axial Jeep Rubicon Unlimited, which I am very pleased with, but if I'd seen the Barrage first I would probably have got that. It looks like a very capable starter trailer/crawler for the price range.Thumbs up for all 3 of your Barrage vids and subbed :))

[@2krcbackroads421]

Really appreciate the positive feedback Man! I have an SCX10 as well...Great rig! For the price this is definitely tough to beat...it would keep up with an SCX10. Have fun out there!

[@BudgetGuyrc1967]

great run my friend awesome spot i would love to be trailing right beside you have fun RCing

[@2krcbackroads421]

It really is a great spot to run....you're welcome anytime! Thanks for takin' a look and leaving a comment!

[@firedupextremerc6066]

Nice bit of river crawling, great video!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thank you very much!! Thanks for stopping by...

[@RcAVENTURE.V.F.R]

Extraordinary adventure in the forest

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thank you very much; really appreciate that!! All the best!

[@jdpaslRC]

Excellent video. I love how it can handle in the forest!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thank you very much! Such a fun little rig...

[@scalerc4x4]

Fantastic video! I like the fenders the mirrors and the antennas. Please make the comparison videos soon. I'd like to see this compared to the cc 01 thanks!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Really appreciate that Tybo! Hoping to get out this weekend to do some crawling and video.... All the best! -TK

[@rcdabbler]

Always enjoy your films, guy. 👍

[@2krcbackroads421]

Hey thanks Man...glad you enjoyed the vid. Such a great hobby. All the best!

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

Killer video man!! That truck amazes me how well it performs at this price point! This is what I like to see and control seems crazy precise man. I love the steel wheel look with the lugs.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks a ton Man! It really is a very capable rig. That fact that it's $179 is the icing on the cake. I've heard a few people talk about issues with the servo....so for I've had none. We always want more steering...but, so far so good with this rig. No one has mentioned the lugs yet...great comment...that's one of things I like as well. Toying with some getting some scale hubs...ha ha...when does it stop? I really appreciate the support and comment. All the best Man!!

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

2KRCBACKROADS Right on man I will st some point definitely buy this rig sooner than later, thanks for sharing!

[@rcmctool2918]

Excellent video........ 8^) Thanks for posting the body mods...

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks very much! Glad you liked it...

[@e.w.n.i.a.h]

I love your rig! I had one but it broke, so now I have a Slash, which isn't a crawler. I still love it but I miss crawling.. Nice run!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks, appreciate that! Bummer about your crawler...but bashing ain't bad either. Thanks for stopping by!

[@e.w.n.i.a.h]

2KRCBACKROADS no problem!

[@danielpk6059]

I just picked up the kit version of this for my boys. Cant wait to get it up and running. Great man video, good info thanks!!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Congrats! It's a great rig, I'm sure your boys will love it. Thanks for stopping by!

[@JaxTellerRC]

Sensational run vid mate, the Barrage does actually look quite good out on the trails with all your modifications. I think the black fender flares has taken it to a new level of scale coolness (0:

[@2krcbackroads421]

Glad you liked it Man! The fenders kinda break up all the tan....gives it a tougher look. Thanks for checkin' it out!!

[@JaxTellerRC]

2KRCBACKROADS Yeah for sure, top stuff mate (o:

[@SusanMillard]

Liked and subbed.....thanks 2RCPRODUCTIONS for suggesting I check out this channel! Excellent work man! You have some great videos up here and just earned yourself another sub. =) Thumbs up too.

[@2krcbackroads421]

I really appreciate all that you said, thanks...and thanks for the sub, subbed you back! 2RCPRODUCTIONS is a pretty cool cat.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Man! Really diggin' this new rig!!

[@chrisrausch4594]

I really enjoyed the video, might need to pick myself up one of these little trucks!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks for takin' a look, glad you liked it. Really great rig...for the $, can't be beat. The only issue I've heard of from a few people, is the servo. Check out the vid description box on my review for details...

[@MicroScaleGarage]

epic crawling i to like the ecx barrage it is a epic little truck

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Antione! I agree with you, cool little rig. Thanks for checkin' out the channel and leaving a comment!

[@masonwaller3980]

I've got the same truck and burnt the servo out within the 2nd charge. Going to pick up spektrum s6240 tomorrow, hope she fits good!

[@2krcbackroads421]

I'm really diggin' this rig right now. I haven't had any issues with the servo yet (knock on wood), but I have heard of others having the same issue as you. If you don't mind, let me know how the servo fits, works, etc.

[@RCTeamAustria]

great video brother.. man I like the look of this truck... something different. thanks for sharing.. I would like to hear your thoughts on the rig itself..🖒🖒🖒

[@2krcbackroads421]

Great little rig, really like it. Very capable and easy on the wallet. Kind of a, "Jack of all trades Master of none" type of rig. Check out my review if you have time.... Thanks for havin' a look, and I really appreciate the comment!

[@jaysummers6919]

great video!

[@davidrcstudio2452]

very nice video man!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thank you very much! Thanks for havin' a look.

[@dirtydsrc]

Beautiful video bud. :) Looks like a 1/10 SWB Small-Med Sized SVU. to me. Definitely great rig for the price. :)

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Brother! Yeah, not a licensed rig...so it could be a lot of things. I'm a Jeep guy, so I saw a 2017 Jeep Scrambler two door extended cab when I looked at. For the $, great rig! Would do well on your course!

[@dirtydsrc]

Yep thats what I was seeing too bud. Jeep gunna have a mother try are reestablish their place in small mid size with whet models in their line. their kings at small mid sized SWD Vehicles. It's their heritage. I really lie the adjustments you've done. Nice touch. :)

[@2krcbackroads421]

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see... Thanks Man!

[@SyndicateRC]

Great run, crawling and editing...how do you like the Barrage?

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Man! I really like it. The body needed some tweaking, but the chassis, etc. is solid....and only $179.

[@SyndicateRC]

good price, gonna check it out. ;)

[@2krcbackroads421]

Just FYI, I did hear some guys are having issues with the stock servo. Horizon Hobby seems to be sending out a replacement, no questions asked. I've had no issues with mine...but thought I'd let you know....

[@TheMechnicalOwl]

I just saw this at the local hobby shop today and thought it was very cool, now I want one for sure.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Ha ha ha...you're gunna' be hooked once you get it.

[@pilot_mm9016]

Awesome video! Just picked one of these up based on your review. For a guy that has no previous trucks where would you recommend getting some little scale details. I want to add mirrors, wipers, diamond plate, etc.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thank you very much! You got yourself a great rig. Amazon is a great place to find most anything RC related. I got my mirrors, diamond plate and winch from Amazon. The company, RC4WD, makes all of the aforementioned items as well as wipers, door handles, etc., and you can buy directly from their website as well. The mirrors I purchased are "style A". Hope that helps...

[@pilot_mm9016]

Thanks man! I appreciate the leads

[@2krcbackroads421]

Pilot_MM Yeah, you bet...

[@matthewdegroot4126]

Thank you!!

I got the s6230 with 311oz torque

[@2krcbackroads421]

Wow...that is some serious torque. I'll have to check it out...

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

This is what aggravates me about You tube, how do you only have 219 subs? your vids are top notch!!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Man, that really means a lot coming from you. KZbin and subs.....ha ha ha....?? I guess I wish I had more, but at the end of the day, I'm really just having fun running rigs with my Son. If more come, cool. If not, cool too. I truly do appreciate your comment, really do. Thanks Man! .

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

2KRCBACKROADS I know your in it for fun and not for the big payout, that's the same reason I started but you should get recognition for the job your doing thats all man. I was watching a video the other day, the guys acting like a moron, swearing, and overall useless content and I watched the guy gain 300 subs in a couple of weeks and its annoying! Here your puting out good stuff and should have more subs. The problem with KZbin is if your numbers aren't up there you get very little exposure from searches etc. So anyway keep up the Great work!!

[@2krcbackroads421]

***** Thanks Man. I kinda feel the same way...KZbin is crazy...ha ha ha. I just saw all that you did by shooting my vid out there, that was solid Man! Really appreciate that!!!

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

2KRCBACKROADS Don't even mention it👍👍

[@davidwile5109]

Hey folks, I agree Backroads' videos & his review of the Barrage are top notch. I know nothing about RC crawlers, but I bought a Barrage a few weeks ago, and it is a blast. Imagine an old man in his 70s playing with a toy truck? I also subscribed to your vids. Best wishes, Dave Wile

[@controlledfreakr]

Sweet rig. Is it 1:8?

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks! They list it as a 1:18 scale...but it's closer to a 1:10 scale rig. Similar size to a Tamiya CC01. Thanks for stopping by the channel!

[@VvVLokiVvV]

Did you lock the diffs or are the open? Thinking about getting the barrage for my kids. Trying to find one that won't break the bank(have to get two) but can keep up with scx10. Very good video also.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Diffs come locked from the factory. Great starter rig for kids...and you can't beat the price. The only thing I would mention is that you will more than likely have to replace the steering servo...watch my final thoughts vid on this rig, it goes over this in detail. Thanks for checking out the vid and thanks for the comment!

[@masonwaller3980]

mounting is a little off because the servo sits more towards the front Idk if the upgraded aluminum horn was at a different angle but not anything a little rigging can't fix I uploaded a video sorry it sucks but it's my first video ha

[@2krcbackroads421]

Yeah I'm curious to see how a full size servo sits in the rig.... Thanks for the info, I'll check out your vid.

[@jeppewerring]

i really want this thing, too bad i'm saving up for a new PC. can't have everything you want :(

[@2krcbackroads421]

Yeah, you're right, you can't have everything....but this rig won't break the bank. Took me a year to save up for one of my rigs... Thanks for tunin' in!

who disliked the video!!! it doesn't deserve it

[@davidwile5109]

Hey 2KRCBackroads, I hope you do not mind, but I posted your videos of the Barrage on the RC Groups crawler forum. They are posted in such a way that it links to the KZbin site. If that is harmful to you in any way, please tell me so I can remove them. Your videos are very good, and I thought other folks interested in the Barrage would benefit from watching them. Best wishes, Dave Wile

[@2krcbackroads421]

Hey David, I don't mind at all. In fact, I really appreciate your kind words and you sharing your enthusiasm (and mine) for the Barrage. I sound like a broken record, but it is such a great rig for the $. Have fun out there! TK

[@Styme-vx7td]

Where should I order my ecx barrage from? It'll be my first *scaler* or rocker what do u actually prefer? I want the RTR I'm putttin my first blackfoot together now

[@2krcbackroads421]

I'm not sure where you're located.... If you're in The USA...I would suggest going to your local hobby store, that's where I got mine. You can also get one from Amazon, RPP Hobby or RC Planet. The Blackfoot is a great rig! Thanks for stopping by the channel!

[@Styme-vx7td]

2KRCBACKROADS thanks man,to be honest these vids made me make my mind up and get one! Where's a good place to get accessories or upgrades for the barrage?..great vidz,do u use a go pro camera? Of course I'm from Maryland

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Man, appreciate the kind words. Scalerfab has some cool stuff for the Barrage (rock sliders, bumpers, etc.). You can get a winch from RC4WD (Mini Warn winch). Shapeways has some cool 3D printed parts as well. Hope that helps! Have fun runnin' your new rig!
