One thing for sure, if you're looking to crawl with this rig, get rid of these Hyrax "knockoffs" & get some Rupture tires, they're MUCH better for climbing, imo. Also, get an NSDRC steering servo, they give you more steer, I heard, something to check out.

[@acrccrawlers9548]

That thing is a beauty, I had a 1988 YJ which I owned for 22 years, just sold it this past May I had it restored to show quality then swapped the motor for a new crate Chevy 350. Unfortunately since I have back issues it sat on the garage for months without moving and I decided to let it go it was a hard decision because it was my baby but I enjoyed it for 22 years and it was time for some one else to enjoy it. So watching this make me miss my old friend. 😢😢. Looks really cool. Thanks for sharing brother

[@CapeCrawlers]

What a great story despite having to part with your baby! This could somewhat fill the void though! It’s fantastic as a model or as an RC

[@VS666]

i'm stoked to see the success of FMS, they make some really good looking scale stuff at really good prices i think everyones overall impressions is this truck has a lot of potential but needs some better electronics, but the scale and detail is above the rest fms pays a lot of attention to what people really want out of products, i mean who else gives you a hefty 10th scale with a leaf spring option, convertible top, spare tires, and full interior to name a few things for this price? model first, rc second!

[@CapeCrawlers]

For sure! It will be great to see how they improve and expand upon it.

[@sugatooth]

What a great entry into 1/10 scale. Maybe when I’ve got better access to great crawling spots I’ll get into 1/10. For now, 1/24 still makes the most sense for me

[@CapeCrawlers]

It is a great entry point absolutely! I am in the same situation as you. It’s really tough to find places to utilize the 1:10. That’s why I enjoy the 1:24 so much

[@VladimirFromUS]

Just get my first 1/10 crawler month ago. Its so much fun. I use my rig more as a trail truck - they awesome to drive. Brass weights to the wheels, new set of tires and they are going everywhere.

[@CapeCrawlers]

What model did you get?

[@VladimirFromUS]

@@CapeCrawlers RedCat Gen 8 v2. International Harvester Scout

[@HobbyPerfeXion]

Great review. Funny how so many peeps are ripping on the the wheel/tire combo. I get that they're not traditional stock Jeep equipment, but I think they look good on there. My opinion anyways. Welcome to the 1/10th world :) . I went the opposite way of you where I started with the bigger rigs and worked my way into the smaller scale stuff. It's fun to test your driving capabilities with both scales because while there are a lot of similarities, there are also a lot of differences in the driving experience between the scales. Also, I think this might make a great tow vehicle. So with a good scale trailer and another "performance" rig in tow, that might be the sweet spot. Just a thought. Great vid...

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! Good input!! I really like the tow rig idea. My son is obsessed with towing and trailers. He would love to hitch something up and haul it around with this. Maybe my next gnarly 1/10 crawler? We’ll see!

[@Matt-it8jh]

Glad to see you get a tenth scale. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Got my first recently picked up a redcat gen 7 sport. Loving it so far. Awesome video as usual.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! The 1/10 is awesome. Crazy what they can climb!

[@greggrube2948]

Welcome to the 1/10 scale world brother, it's really addicting. I have 18 rigs in my stable . Imo the builders kits are awesome , you can build it how you want to! You just opened up a whole new window bro 👍 happy trails my friend

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I will check out the builders kits. It makes sense if I’m just going to overhaul everything anyway

[@jasonbecker4997]

Thing is nice looking. Seems like some heavier shock oil, wheel and tire upgrade, and some budget electronics would make it pretty fun. All of my 1/10s are really capable. Something like this would be nice to keep you better at driving. A couple strategically placed magnets would fix the doors and hood

[@CapeCrawlers]

It is a joy to look at. I’m going to try the heavier shock oil, that’s a good suggestion. Same for the magnets!

[@manuelurgilez9788]

Awesome Channel! I'm excited to see your upgrades on this rig, especially the flex. My favorite crawler is the Vanquish vs4-10 phoenix. It has the best transmission, also the Dig feature is a game-changer! Keep up with the great content!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I am anxious to see what FMS and the aftermarket roll out for this thing. Suspension and power train will be of particular interest!

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

Nice job reviewing this new Fms 1/10.I’ve watched a couple other reviews on this new model and same thing with doors,hood,and tail gate popping open. I’m the hunt for my first 1/10 scale crawler myself. Plenty out there to choose from. I’m choosing little less scale lexan body but more performance oriented.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I’m in agreement with you. I think my son will enjoy this as a trail truck and I’m going to look for something a bit more performance focused just as you said.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Check out the axial early bronco, It is a awesome rig you would love it. But yeah the jeep looks awesome I do love the hood and doors that open, I guess I Wood glue Magnets to help things stay closed. Catch you on the next one

[@CapeCrawlers]

My LHS has one of those broncos on display. I like it a lot! More so than this YJ honestly.

[@tonywey2347]

Sad to hear they won’t be making these anymore. Lucky you were able to get one while you could!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Bummer right?! Maybe they’ll get the license sorted out. They had to pull their other Jeep replica, the Willy’s clone due to licensing issues but they were able to bring it back in a few months. Hopefully that’s the case here

[@KenMrKLC]

This is kind of funny hearing this is your first 1/10 scale. I am local to you and new sub recently after seeing you at Wreckless…. I wasn’t a crawler rc guy I race 1/10 buggy on tracks.. however from seeing your vids I got into it and got my daughter a scx24 and I got a scx10 3 model. Having a blast and my 7 yr olds rig I already added some mods inspired from your vids. I am into it now and enjoying just a walk out in a trail with my rig and goofing around. Maybe we will do a colab some day I have a channel as well… not really RC related but I have a few vids on them. I have been a huge Jeep fan and had multiple CJ, YJ, TJ and JK models over the years and restored a few (full scale) I have a nice repair shop with lift etc if you ever need any work done on your real Jeep. I really like this YJ model and the realism…. But I would not have chosen it over my Axial

[@CapeCrawlers]

We should definitely get together sometime! My son is five and loves his RC’s as well. We could all get together for a session 👍🏻

[@EastTexasCrawlers]

I just got me an atlas 6x6 and I love it, Fms does a great job with there rigs.😊

[@CapeCrawlers]

The atlas is awesome!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Oh you going to love 10th scale, Yep we’re here watching

[@CapeCrawlers]

I already do! It’s a whole new beast!!

[@bsmith4956]

I can’t wait to see your thoughts and ideas for upgrades for this thing super exciting!!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’ve got to circle back to it. We’ve been having a lot of fun with it stock! Waiting for warmer weather so we can experiment with it more outside

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Gonna be interesting to find weights, shocks, wheels, & a little figure for this rig, will say that.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Agreed!

[@JeffSkurkis]

Great video. New to the channel, love the breakdown in layman's terms. The looks are amazing but as soon as you mentioned the cons, it gives me pause on wanting to grab one. I think if I see how others modify and fix(?) the issues you've identified, I might be more inclined to buy one.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! FMS is really good at addressing customers concerns. I think we’ll see improvements in later models pretty swiftly!

[@ximetcarbonell2733]

I finally bought It It's gonna be my first 1/10 or 1/7 or...i mean I don't care about it cause this jeep looks amazing at this prize

[@786esteban]

Great video, salutes from Chile!!!

[@trejodaniel]

Beautiful detail on this rig for sure! What are you thinking for your next 1/10th??? Traxxas or Axial?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’m thinking I may do a replica build of my gladiator, so the scx10 iii. I’ll custom paint a hydro blue body and build it out from there. Like my 1/24 gladiator 👍🏻

[@timjohnson9406]

Thats on my Christmas list lol! I've heard its more like 7th scale. I say lift it and bigger wheels!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

It is huge!! But I love the size. Super fun to watch it charge around.

[@TrokaRC]

What’s next for you 10th scale? Got a feeling you will enjoy a trophy truck, I went 2wd.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I'm thinking of doing a 1/10 replica of my 1:1 Gladiator. Hydro blue body, Treal wheels, big shocks, etc. Trophy trucks are epic. I would love to get my son into those!

[@AddictRC]

Awesome video sick truck also where is this? Would love to take a crawler here

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! This is Hathaway pond in Hyannis MA

[@stonekoldkustomz8033]

Hi Adam, could you please tell me what millimeter hex the wheels are? I'm thinking since it's 1/10th scale, it's the standard 12 mm hex. I'm already wanting to put on the biggest wheels, (Injora 2.2), and the most aggressive tread, largest and widest, (Injora, or Duratrax) tires I can find, and I didn't even buy it yet. Any of your suggestions would be very welcome. Thank you.

[@CapeCrawlers]

They are the standard 12mm 👍🏻

[@stonekoldkustomz8033]

@@CapeCrawlers wow that was a quick response, thank you Adam I appreciate this.

[@roaldgabrielsen3774]

i have never seen this one, holy its awsome

It's a beast!

[@WOLFTRAXRC]

That was a riot you are hilarious that is a fun video

[@joeowen6121]

@Cape Crawlers, I whole heartedly recommend checking out the @Race730 KZbin channel. His Class 0 Jeep trailing videos are top notch. I don't think he's putting out new videos, but the older ones are gold.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I will check him out, thanks!

[@justinmcnamara8448]

We're did you buy this I've been looking but no one has any. Wanted to get my nephew one

[@scale6039]

FMS says that is 1/10 scale but in reality its more of an 1/7 scale. Still its a great looking truck

[@CapeCrawlers]

1/7 makes much more sense. I was really surprised by how big it is!

[@moto-]

Heck ya I wanna try one out

[@CapeCrawlers]

It's fun! Very cool rig.

[@moto-]

@@CapeCrawlers heck ya I want one

[@jeffmullinix7916]

The radio system still needs some work from FMS . It is a bit jerky . I have a 1/6 scale Jimny and doing a lot of work and parts to make it right . I am replacing the cheap diffs to metal . I also have to replace shocks . Tire and wheels to 2.2 . I replaced all the electronics including the cheap motor . I ended up spending about another extra 500 bucks to get to where it needed to be . Am I ladified with it when done ! Yes But for the money I spent no . For the cost of the model it should have been better what it is . This one looks about the same . Having to up grade the dive train and a total replacement of the radio system . Might as well buy something like a CAPO Jeep or a TWOLF TW-715 for $1900.00 bucks and then buy all the things it needs . The best bet would be something RC4WD RTR .

[@CapeCrawlers]

All good points! This is a good beginner truck at a bigger scale I think. Someone new wouldn’t notice the shortcomings for a while. It’s perfect for my son as he just wants to thrash it down the trail. The cost of entry for this thing is good, but just as you say, by the time you’re done with it you could have bought an RTR rig of a higher caliber.

[@RCGaryCrawlerTVOsmogomio]

*Very Nice Video*

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@208_waterfowl]

What battery did you use?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I used a lectron pro 5200mah. It’s a really tight fit and I wish I had gone a bit smaller. I have to really wrestle it in there!

[@RomekRolnik]

I saw other reviews like RcGirl and Builder Guide channel but it’s still something different in your videos and your upgrades for 1/24 scale are best in YT. I wonder what you gonna do with TRX 4 1/10 cuz I’m sure you will get one sooner or later 😂 great job a all. Greetings from Poland 💪💪

[@CapeCrawlers]

I appreciate that! I'm looking at the TRX4 High Country or the SCX10 iii Gladiator.

[@RomekRolnik]

@@CapeCrawlers when I’m gonna finish upgrading my TRX4 (I just need to replace a mini servos for Savöx) I will also get SCXIII Gladiator for further improvements. In my opinion those two 1/10 crawlers are the best in the market.

[@johngaines8516]

Nice jeep. I have a trx4 bronco just bought in September if you want another 10 scale I'd sell ya

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’m looking at the scx10iii gladiator for the next one I think. I’ll keep that in mind though!

[@Hjerte_Verke]

I don't like your channel just from scanning this one video, too much you and the talking head routine and less about the product. In fact you can eliminate yourself entirely [to be a good channel in my estimation] and just do a voice over but I feel this is a vanity channel

[@CapeCrawlers]

I appreciate your feedback. It's not for everyone I guess. My goal is to provide a more human side to the RC video community rather than a talking pair of hands. It is less about vanity and more about giving myself permission to be seen as a real person; a real adult who still loves playing with toys. Thanks for stopping by regardless!

[@TrokaRC]

@@CapeCrawlers I disagree went thru few comments you actually answer questions I subbed. If your looking for a driver winners circle has 10’’ articulating figures.
