RC ADVENTURES - HUGE 1/8th Crawler Jeep 4X4 on Dirty Trails

My Jeep is all painted up, a beautiful Gold and Black - and I have fitted the rig with some 2.2 Krait Wheels from BoomRacing. I knew the terrain I was going into was slick, full of snow, and mud. Fortunately for me, the sun has been shining brightly and the snow has mostly gone away. This leaves a LOT of ice, mud, dirt and trail to be explored.
My Model today is the new 1/8th scale "Cragsman" from Traction hobby. I picked mine up at Atees.com, and while I was there added the 2.2 KRAiT Bead locks to my order. I dont mind the stock plastic wheels, but I do prefer a bead lock to gluing. It helps the tires stay nice and locked, as well as there is no mess from glue.
The performance of the truck is really good. I touch on a few points in this video, and hopefully give you a good understanding of how this 4x4 operates in semi-frozen conditions. The size of the truck is truly a wining factor. It is easily able to bounce over obstacles that a standard 1/10th scale simply can not do.
I tried my best to get you some good shots - and to really have some fun with this truck. Trust me, it was easy.
This truck is phenomenal.

INFO:
Aluminum Axles
The axle housings come standard in aluminum. The front and rear axles come out of two separate molds (read on to see why). It has plastic lockouts, C-hubs and knuckles which also help reduce the weight of this beast. The C-hub and knuckle design have a 8 degree caster and an impressive 45 degree steering angle.
Open/Lock Diffs
This new version comes standard with metal front and rear independent locking diffs, giving you the flexibility to choose which one to lock just by flicking an independent switch for each diff on the transmitter. This means that there is a switch for each lockable diff, not one switch for both diffs.
Transmission Gear Box, Opposite Direction Output Drive
The transmission gearbox has also had an overhaul. The main transmission gearbox is no longer in the middle of the chassis as it is now moved to the front of the rig with the transfer box being a separate piece. The transfer case has a great feature already built: an opposite direction output drive to help reduce torque twist of this rig.
2-Speed Transmission, 2WD/4WD Selection
The main gearbox also features a two speed transmission for Hi or Low gear selected by turning a knob on the 6-channel transmitter (that is included... Wow! Right?) and on the transfer box it you can go 2WD or 4WD turning a button on the transmitter.
Drivelines, Links and Shocks
The links are made out of 7mm stainless steel with an M5 thread for the ball ends for extra strength; the lower links are also high clearance links. The front drive shafts are CVD and the front and rear drive shafts are made out of hardened steel for extra strength and durability. To help with flexing its wheels it is fitted with some 110mm aluminum adjustable big bore 2 stage coils over shocks.
Wheels & Tires
It comes with a licensed ProComp 2.2 wheel/rim that is molded plastic and is a glue on wheel. The ProComp wheel do not come glued to the tires which you can save the tires for optional beadlocks.
Body & Accessories
The body is aggressive looking and the scale is superb. The body is made out of lexan and is lightweight. It includes a plastic roll cage and give you the open top option. The wide body fenders are plastic and comes with adjustable side mirrors. The body is also held on by some magnetic stealth mounts and Velcro so there is no need for body pins or screws to hold the pre-painted body in place.
Radio
It comes with a 6-channel radio system that controls all these new features, including 2WD/4WD option, front and rear open/lock diffs, 2-Speed transmission, steering and throttle.
Included:
RTR 1/8 Scale Chassis with Electronics
Wheels and Tires
Lexan Body with Accessories
Decals Sheet
Detailed Instruction Manual
Tools
6 Channel Radio

[@arizonadualsport2590]

Omg medic , I just saw a real Cragsman jeep, it was black , but it even had the hood scoop on it ... looked so like the 1/8 I did a double take !!! What a cool scale rig Traction hobby did here !!!

[@rossgross3709]

nice ride .. cant wait for a summer run video .

[@ronhop0162]

love it, the truck looks brilliant as to the scale,bigger the better lol

[@w_callaghan8300]

the cragsman would be the crawler/trail truck of choice. nevertheless rcsparks video got me inspired again to work on my rc cars

[@Codesempire]

These large scale trucks are tons of fun! That's one reason I built a 1/6th scale H2 hummer. It's a complete different world for trailing and rock crawling. This sure is a great looking truck! Looks like one fun RC! Thumbs up Aaron! ;-)

[@williamgreen9307]

It looks awesome and runs great to thanks

[@dustinfaulkner1557]

The fact that 2.2's look like what 1.9's look like on 1/10th scale crawlers says a lot to it's size.

[@davidson3680]

Glad to see you're moving around again hope you're feeling better we all miss your videos

[@TheRealRCSparks]

David, what an odd thing to say my friend. But first, let me say thank you. But secondly.. I post all the time! Do you ever see my videos in your subscriptions? I have been wondering why numbers are so low. Thanks!

[@davidson3680]

Yes I do but a lot of them are like painting videos and stuff like that I mean On the trail being out in the woods and stuff but Yes I Saw the FPV or what ever its called but the this video is more your Style that I really Love and the build videos of course, but was just wondering about your back and wanted to know your doing well man I watch all your videos but its always exciting to see your new ones with Trailing your very good at placing the cameras at the right angles and the music is good too. Need to bring some new RC's to the table Arrma RC makes some really good ones now and Tekno RC as well People want to see the new upcoming RC's I imagine. Since you got hurt it just seems like the active not at your track videos have slid down thats what people want to see seeing the country and just your style your still the king of Scale Trail Videos! Hope to see more like this!

[@davidson3680]

Owe by the way I didn't like the FPV they make me sick watching them but the build videos on how to do all that way interesting watched them 3-4 times.

[@davidson3680]

Sorry I need to add one more thing I can only watch your Videos at off times because youtube sucks now and can't handle the weight of all the people on here I have 30 Meg and it always just keeps spinning so I am like fuck it I will watch it later. It really Sucks but I don't like the way KZbin treats there Folks that are making them all this money so I have been cutting back on my Video watching and getting out and doing more Stuff with the family too. I am a Computer technician and A RC Addict but was hoping YOuTube was for the people and they are getting so big they are Not The Website I really want to support as much I do watch All your Videos, Kevin Talbots , Auisses RC Playground and learning videos but I am so busy with life and I only let my family watch a few hours of KZbin a day because it can be like a disease lol. Want to live life not watch other peoples all the time if you now what I mean.

[@AngryTurds]

Great vid. Looking forward to. Seeing you show-off a nice set of beadlocks from boom racing.... with a set of xl slingers.

[@thekombi]

G'day ,thank's i'll look them up(traction hobbies) great info, your a must to watch.

[@iamthetinkerman]

Great Video and a really cool Test run with the Jeep......thumbs up my friend 🔝👍👍

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Hello Torro!! Glad you could stop by for an RC ADVENTURE today! Thanks so much :)

[@joshgraziosi8159]

I want one, Yes! Great video, editing, and music.

[@toddbertram6556]

The chassis really does dwarf those swampers. Looks like a fun rig, a lot of stuff to maintain with the lockers, and added servos but it looked quality from what I saw. For me it is fun to run the scale that buddies have which is always 1/10 as far as scale trucks, but if I had and 1/8 scaler rig, I'd find time to run it, ha. Fun video as always.

[@tofadeisastart]

I’ve missed the cinematic trail videos!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Good looking rig! I like it!

[@GeneralHobbies]

the gold looks awesome. as long as the truck is fun. thumbs up
