Orlandoo Hunter OH32X02 Trophy Truck

BlackSeaRC presents the second video in a series looking at the new Orlandoo Hunter (OH) OH32X02 X-Roll Cage Series Trophy Truck. This is a hobby-grade 1:32 scale radio controlled (RC) micro off-road racer kit. It is one of the latest cell-phone size RC products from Orlandoo Hunter and was released in 2022.
In the first video, the kit was unboxed and we also prepared for the build by looking at all the ancillary parts required to construct the kit and get the truck up and running. This included the electronics bundle consisting of D4L radio transmitter handset, combined receiver/ Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), lighting group, sound group, steering servo, 3000rpm N30 geared brushed motor assembly, 7.4V LiPo battery equipment, etc.
Part 1: • Orlandoo Hunter OH32X0...
In this new video, we shall follow the step-by-step kit build and there are hints and tips to help you if you are constructing a similar model yourself. A selection of upgrade parts are also incorporated into the build, including a metal servo saver, metal main driveshaft and metal shock absorbers. You can see how I fitted the D4L 4-in-1 receiver/ESC and 7.4V LiPo battery pack to make them more discreet and thus offering greater scale realism. Additionally, you can see how I further customised this model to replicate a real full-size trophy truck.
The OH32X02 kit is an accurate representation of a real trophy truck with 4x2 drive configuration. It features a 3D printed roll cage style chassis, independent double wishbone front suspension, trailing arms with solid axle at the rear, metal bearings, coil spring shock absorbers and dampers at each wheel station, all-terrain tyres including two rear-mounted spare tyres, interior detailing and a pre-painted polycarbonate body.
In future videos, this tiny RC trophy truck will be subjected to comprehensive testing including indoor and outdoor driving. If you want to see if this machine is suitable as a cool desktop driver or an impressive scale-realistic micro off-road racer, then look out for upcoming videos.
WARNING: If you are thinking about building this (or one of the other Orlandoo Hunter kits), it will present numerous challenges, even if you are an experienced RC model builder. You will need a well-lit workspace (preferably with a hard floor), nimble fingers, steady hands, the eyesight of an eagle and huge amounts of patience and perseverance. A tiny magnetic Philips head screwdriver would be a distinct advantage. Be prepared for numerous frustrations and a bit of modifying to get parts to fit. There will be times when you just have to walk away from a build step and come back later and try again. The end result is impressive from an engineering point of view, but you may find it an ordeal rather than a pleasure getting there.

You did a great job my friend that figure looks awesome for that truck 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

[@BlackSeaRC]

Thanks! Yes, I was lucky to find this driver figure. Not only was it a modern racing driver figure but it was pre-painted and fitted very nicely in the cab.

[@GARYU-S44]

This little radio control is well made👍Your painting is also nice my friend🎶🤝👌

[@BlackSeaRC]

The end result looks great sitting on my desk and it almost seems a shame to get it dusty but I want to see how it drives off-road as well. I wanted a two-colour paint scheme to make it more interesting but it was rather tricky masking off the interior of the body because of the small scale. The edges of the tape lifted slightly on one side of the bonnet so it was not a perfectly straight line. However, once the decals are on, at least it looks more like a real trophy truck.

How are would you say this kit is? I hate glue so idk if I can build this lol

[@BlackSeaRC]

There are several build stages that require glue. Securing the tyres to the rims is particularly tricky. But glue isn't the only difficult aspect to this build. It is very fiddly at many build stages due to small components and restricted access. On the scale of difficulty to build, the new Scania tractor truck (OH32T01) is said to be harder but this trophy truck is going to challenge you, even if you have built lots of kits before. I would describe this kit as hard to build because you will also need to make slight modifications along the way to get parts to fit correctly.

[@hwroadbeasts]

That's really nice , keep it up , let's see what it can do outside

[@BlackSeaRC]

I just need to find some PH2.0 extension leads and then I'll be ready to go. For me, scale realism is important and on this truck, it is particularly difficult to hide the electronics and wiring due to the space available. That is why I am trying something slightly different to get a better result. I hope it drives okay after all this effort!

[@hwroadbeasts]

@@BlackSeaRC hey bro I hope your doing well, I just saw that Ukraine had made some damage , I hope your safe

[@BlackSeaRC]

@@hwroadbeasts All good here thanks, we are all fine, thanks for asking!

[@hwroadbeasts]

@@BlackSeaRC thank God

[@gaeljehnno]

Just finished to build mine at 4 in the morning. Got a brushless system and some upgrade too, now i just have to wait for the sunrise so i can try it outdoor.

[@BlackSeaRC]

How did you enjoy the build? I just received my extension cables so I'm going to finish the electronics installation. What are your first impressions of the truck?

[@gaeljehnno]

@@BlackSeaRC Pretty funl build, minus some adjustement to do to the bottom plate(motor mount). Not much to say about the car for the moment because i only have wltoys battery, good for testing but too big to fit. I have made a small video of the beast on my ""chanel''

[@BlackSeaRC]

@@gaeljehnno Yes, that bottom plate was a bit annoying. I couldn't find a battery locally and in the end, I had to order mine from Hong Kong.

[@gaeljehnno]

What is the brand/model or the sellers for these battery, i think this is the hardest part to find (just got a pair and they dont fit too)@@BlackSeaRC

[@BlackSeaRC]

@@gaeljehnno I used the Orlandoo Hunter branded battery because I knew it would definitely fit. It plugs directly into my D4L ESC/receiver. It is part number LS7401-B.

[@DurpVonFronz]

So want one of the lil rock bouncers for the carpet mountain off road course, I think it would be perfect!

[@BlackSeaRC]

Yes, I reckon the OH32X01 would be good around your course. Although it is claimed to be 1:32 scale, when I stand my Trophy Truck next to my 1:24 Kyosho Mini-Z Toyota 4Runner, it is not so much smaller. It is not so easy to hide the electronics on the Rock Bouncer though because of the open roll-cage structure.

[@VietNguyen-ry9rt]

all the arm are too stiff, they need to swing freely to work properly at this small scale

[@BlackSeaRC]

You are right, the arms need to swing freely. There are tiny washers provided in the kit to optimise the gap between the suspension arms and roll-cage structure. Once the truck is on its wheels, the suspension moves freely.

[@burger1113]

Geez, this kit is definitely something I need to have whenever I get my job to be a bit less consuming! I am fairly handy, but it does seem that they should work the quality control issues out because I likely will not have the ability to get around them... it's not a cheap kit either, so hopefully they can manage it. So jealous!

[@BlackSeaRC]

These kits are certainly fairly unique and present a special challenge when being built. I have always preferred to build my own RC kits rather than buying RTR but this one really tested my patience. I am not sure I could say I actually enjoyed the build but it does give you satisfaction when you finally get it together. The engineering is nice but it was not without its problems which spoiled the experience a little bit. I wish they could sort out the quality issues, especially at this price level. There is now a new model, the Scania 6x4 tractor truck which is supposed to be their most complex and challenging build so far. I am a little bit tempted but feel an on-road model has less driving opportunities than an off-road model at this micro scale.

[@BlackSeaRC]

If you are interested, I just made a video of my OH32X02 operating on the beach. Link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYacmnV9hdSFZ6M

I can’t believe this was posted 4hrs ago just when I was thinking of buying one!😂 subscribed!

[@BlackSeaRC]

So what do you think now you have seen it? I thought about buying an Orlandoo Hunter kit for quite a while. First, I was tempted by the pick-up trucks and then I saw this trophy truck and finally took the plunge. I knew it would be a challenging build and that indeed was the case. If you want to see what exactly is in the kit and all the ancillary parts you will need, it is also worth checking the unboxing and preparation for build video.

[@TRConcepts-yz9vd]

@@BlackSeaRC Thanks so much! Love the scale look but I’m sure it will be a challenging build. Do you think it was worth it?

[@BlackSeaRC]

@@TRConcepts-yz9vd Yes, it was a challenging (and at many times frustrating) build. Of course, I expected it to be awkward and with such a small scale, it would be foolish to think otherwise. The thing about this truck is that it is designed with scale realism in mind. It has a configuration very similar to a real trophy truck. But whereas other RC vehicles have features that are perhaps oversize for their scale, the Orlandoo Hunter utilises components that are mainly true to scale. This means that parts are very fiddly and awkward to fit. I thought there would be some tricky areas but as it turns out, almost EVERY build step had elements that ranged from slight inconvenience to extremely frustrating! I lost count the number of times I dropped screws and other tiny components. So is it worth it? I wanted something a bit different. The Orlandoo Hunter company has carved out a bit of a niche in the market. Very few assembly kits are available at 1:18 or 1:24, let alone 1:32. Cost is obviously a factor. A basic 1:10 kit can cost about the same so in that respect it is expensive. But it is true hobby grade and the engineering is impressive. Quality is a concern in some areas and long-term reliability and durability has to be an issue at this scale. I didn't test the performance yet but again, you have to set your expectations at a reasonable level. I am hoping it will be fun if I can find the right scale terrain to run it in.

[@TRConcepts-yz9vd]

Thanks man! Really appreciate your time! I’m glad that if I get it I will have this video for help building it. Looks so good when completed! I think this could be one of the first of many 1:32 scale trophy trucks!

[@BlackSeaRC]

@@TRConcepts-yz9vd I actually quite like the idea of building the new Scania tractor truck but it is supposed to be the hardest to assemble model they have ever made. Also, an off-road model offers greater driving opportunities than an on-road model so I haven't been convinced to order one yet.

[@stevefrench3564]

thats BA

[@BlackSeaRC]

I've just been running it in proper sandy conditions at the beach. If the sand is too soft, the back wheels will just spin but on hard sand, it drives quite nicely. It can spin out quite easily though as there is a lot of power to the rear wheels. I will make a short video demonstrating this trophy truck in action shortly.

Good observation skills. I got my first RC car, a Tamiya Holiday Buggy, back in the 1980's. Yes, this is a very addictive hobby!

[@Frank-rv8yg]

Great work! Thank you for this detailed Video.

[@BlackSeaRC]

Thank you, I'm glad you found it interesting. These Orlandoo Hunter kits are certainly unique and there is really nothing else like this at this micro scale. They are definitely a challenge to assemble though and you need a lot of patience to build one.

Where can I get this

[@BlackSeaRC]

I bought mine via AliExpress but other options include Amain Hobbies, AsiaTees, Tiny4x4.com, RC Mart, Banggood, etc. Really, the best place to buy depends upon your location. Shop around to get the best deal on the exact package with electronics/option parts you want and to minimise your shipping costs.
