He also did all lights including the dashboard. As soon as it’s finished we will try to make a video to post here on KZbin. Your great review was extremely helpful when buying this truck. Keep on with the great and highly informative videos !

@RCReviewChannel3 жыл бұрын
replacement parts is a concern for sure!!
@justinjones52813 жыл бұрын
The parts that would normally break you can make yourself. Only stuff hard to do is gears and intricate plastic mouldings. But with old broken parts caches like mine I just take larger parts make them smaller or make new parts from other broken stuff. I always collect weird things and my wife thinks I’m crazy. Than, once in a while it really pays off. Suspension arms, supports for my monster trucks are all made by myself and they never break. Also replace all shitty hardware and by Steele or go titanium if you want maximum sheer strength

This would be a real concern for a normal fast RC car but with a crawler, you’re unlikely to break things unless you have a really nasty fall.

I really enjoy your channel. I'm just getting into crawling. I have been a basher for years and crawling seems so enjoyable. I ordered the gen 7 to start out with. I have 3s and 2s batteries. Can that model handle 3s. Redcat recommend 2s but 3s for experience drivers. I'm light on the throttle as I run my 6s bashers better then my buddies on 4s. What do you recommend for performance but not over stressing it. Is there any benefit to 3s on a crawler? I'm not looking for speed. Thank you.
