The 104009 has the most important part. The smile factor at the skate park. Made me smile watching it on the ramps.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, loads of fun… straight out the box

[@grimdarksandwich66]

Great video and thoughtful disclaimer up front. It IS an addictive hobby. It’s got everything: running, building, fixing, collecting. Easy to dump a bunch of money in it. I’ve got the 2WD Rustler, brushed. On a 2S lipo, it’s good fun, easy to drive, handles a good mix of surfaces. Worth every penny, IMO. Out of my own “fleet” the Big Rock may be the best value when looking at cost vs. performance. Tough, fast, steers, jumps, and rides great.

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Thanks, Phil. I'll keep wrenching on the wonderful family of WPL D12's I've bought and inherited for now - I can't believe how 'Cheerful' this 'Cheap' little truck is. Brushless, oil shocks, notched frame, FPV - it doesn't hurt when you cut into something so cheap!

[@TomleyRC]

Agree.. good little trucks 👌

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Truly well done video Phil! You hit the bullseye at the very beginning and end of your video! “These Are Just Toys”! And not a priority in the big real picture. Yes we creators love to create content for everyone to see, but it’s not worth going hungry over, and definitely not worth missing important time with the family. Unless of course the whole family just loves Rc’s. This video spoke to me as I’m sure it will so many others ! Thanks for being real brother!👊🏼🙌🏽😃🍻

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome list, Phil! Thanks! 😃 I just added the Wltoys 104009 to my wishlist!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@TomleyRC]

Is a nice little truck. Shop around and you can get them for a good deal

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

Great list! I love those RGT crawlers. Great bargains!

[@BreatheRC]

Great video as always , lovely to see you mentioning Mr Talbot in your vids , that's what its all about great hobby great friends supporting one another is just what this world needs at the minute , nice one Mr Tomley your a star 👍👍👍👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, Kev’s a decent lad…. just a bit louder and richer than me hahaha

[@darinjennings1047]

Love you videos. Thanks for putting in that what is important. Yes this is a great relaxing hobby but making it known it's and the bottom of the list of importance spot on! And taking the time to repeat it. That was great. Thanks!!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Darin. I think it’s important to remember we need to take a step back sometimes and look at what is really important

[@disciplinerc]

Goddamn so many good shots!! You nailed the camera work on this one brother. Great choices!! 🤘😎🤘

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. These are clips from older videos…. Love getting some good action shots

[@AlvarezAzel]

I brought the Mt10 the middle of last year thanks to your videos on it. Don't regret it one bit! it's an absolute beast! Outshines all the other bashers I have from Traxxas and HPI. Haven't broken a thing on it yet, it's even gone full throttle into a tree stump, I also only run it on 3s and its been to multiple skate parks and BMX tracks. I have given it hell but it keeps coming back for more. Honestly it's the only basher I use now as I know it won't fail me. The rest i'm looking at selling on to afford my trail/crawler addiction.

[@cordite7207]

Been out ripping my Maverick Quantum Flux R (what a mouthful) truck this weekend, couldn't recommend it more if you are after something to Hoon around a car park.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, great Car Park Basher. Mine needs new tyres 😅

[@Urapunk]

Thanks for looking out for us, priorities and all that. I had no idea how addicting the RC hobby is. Its ALMOST as expensive as the Marijuana hobby i had before it. 😂

[@MovingTargetOne]

Some of the footage is really nicely done

[@Sideshowgaz5779]

Another great video Phil. You only need to look at my collection and watch a few of your videos to to know that my choices have been heavily influenced heavily by you and I have not been let down by any of the cars that you love. Thank you

[@adampsrcs3487]

mt10 is defo a beast.so glad I finally got one.its an little animal.and I I don't think anyone can go wrong with any of the ftx range you showed.great value for money in my opinion.ive got a £600 TRX 4 and a £200 ftx fury and to be honest they are quite close in performance.another great job Phil👍

[@aerialcombat]

Nice work, timely video

[@EJ-74]

Nice to have a decent selection of cheap - cheapish RCs. 👍

[@markpoitras9794]

They are all nice r.c.'s would be nice to have one of each. Good review tomley. 👍

[@SargeScum]

Love the intro bro. Kept it real.

rite on with the advice at the beginning!🤙👍

2245 here in Arkansas USA!! Sorry Tomley I've been on vacation with the family down in Florida! Back home and got some vids to catch up on!! Thanks for the vids Tomley as always exquisitely done!

Great video, love the bronco and the MT10

Cheers dude

[@thierrymaillard820]

Hello Tomley RC 👋🏻 ! This video is really cool as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻! It's always interesting to know which RC Cars are affordable ! 👌🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude

[@randall4411]

Thanks for giving us cheap skates some important information .

[@rrrccc1571]

Some great suggestions there!

[@cossackmanstanrc]

Great video Phil, I have 3 of those from your previous recommendations😂. My latest the MT10 I took out for its first run today at EAST, it lived up to its reputation 👍

[@TomleyRC]

I saw you giving it a good run… looked awesome. A bit cleaner than mine haha

[@chriswhite2714]

Great video Phil, love how you do budget cars and trucks for us viewers thanks mate 🤟👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I actually prefer the budget stuff. I went to a crawler event this weekend and took my FTX Outback. Left the TRX4, Element, MST and others on the shelf 👍

[@Sadaatty]

Love the disclaimer at the start

[@benm9863]

I love that they are actually affordable cars and not super expensive like most budget car videos are

[@maszkalman3676]

Yeah budget rc drift car a saw the guy said 599 plus this and that about 200 dollars plus for new servo new radio and a better gyro so affordable for 700 bucks and has the gut to say yeah it's budget because some rc cars twice as expensive... :,D

[@MauzyrockRC]

Conciensious you are! Sometimes hard to avoid a stress RC purchase! lol

[@009ADVENTURES]

very good selection bud, some of thoes I don't have but just love all ftx stuff 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers mate

[@thisIsRC]

Awesome list!

[@jimbailey1337]

Hey Tomley, Nice little vid this one, some great tips and realIy enjoy your content. Just wanted to say that was a nice sentiment about cost of living and spending on the important things first, can probably get out of hand spending on this brilliant hobby. Thanks for the radix 6 vid I say no more! I'm very tempted in adding a crawler to my collection so appreciate the tip on these. Big up to the MT10, awesome truck. I have to say with mine, as well as losing a wheel of first run, the motor mounts and pinion came loose (2nd or 3rd in a skate park) so all needed nipping up, luckily the spur was fine. Did you find that? Taking nothing away from the awesomeness of the truck though!

[@RickOAA]

The lowly Traxxas Rustler XL-5 is my favorite RC car ever and king of our front yard track.

[@thunderstormrc]

Nice selection.

[@SpringWoodsRC]

Great video buddy 😊 especially for some one like me who's not got a clue what is out their 😂 bet I'd be entertained looking at your shelfs for a few hours 😂 keep well pal 🙋‍♂️

[@TomleyRC]

Cheer dude. I’ll pop down soon 👌

[@silas9611]

Thanks that was so helpeful

[@mikebird8290]

HI PHIL THANKYOU SIR FOR BEING TOTALLY HONESTY IN BEGINING OF VIDEO. THANKS FOR CARING BUDDY. I SALUTE YOU SIR 🇬🇧🕊️🤩✌🏼👍🏼

Cool little vid Phil 😎

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks David

[@TBO207]

Finally at the point in my life where I have some money to spend and I finally can get these awesome toys I never had the opportunity to have as a kid, I love the recommendations but throw in the tamiya dt03! I was looking at the price of a bandit and then stumbled upon that and fell in love, check it out maybe you can make a brushless conversion video

[@sublevel03]

Great preface...restecpa! ;D

[@martyshaw9143]

Finally got myself an MT10 thanks to the reviews you put out nearly a year ago, other than a tire falling off it survived it's maiden bash voyage 😅 Should've gone over it and tightened everything before I ran it.

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome! I lost a wheel on mine (twice) this weekend, luckily found the wheel nut both times!

[@jimbailey1337]

yeah had the same issue, rookie error, I found those wheel caps came off too and now don`t use them at all. Got some of those nice blue wheel nuts as replacements and look great.

[@timearlmountainsiderc6519]

Thanks for the video.

[@pablosuarezvillar4071]

Love that intro❤

[@cheseborger]

Love seeing the RidgeRock is getting some attention! I made mine look like Grave Digger

[@techos32]

Great video!!

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you

[@michaeldorich4485]

I think this is one of your best videos ever. Especially, when you consider current inflation. It gives the viewers some choices in the current environment. I agree with your selection of the two Traxxas vehicles. They're great for kids because the esc's have a practice mode and in the states parts are available everywhere. I would love to have an MT10. Have you ever tested the MT10 in a rock quarry or on a crawling course? It's probably too big for a crawling course. Maybe you can invent a new class for monster truck crawlers. Thank you.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Micheal. I try to pick some out that would cater for everyone

[@stu1987eng]

FTX OUTLAW BRUSHLESS was missed... me and a friend both got them... too much fun

[@michaeldorich4485]

@@TomleyRC Because I am considering a Rustler, I rewatched this video and your video on the Rustler last year. You had a lot of very good things to say about it as you ran it around the skatepark. What struck me was how smooth it seemed and quiet.

[@farmoboy83]

Have the ftx ravine, hbx 16889 brushed and pro brushless and flyhal fc610. Guess I am a budget guy but couldn't be happier with my choices. Cheap cars, cheap parts, cheap batteries and a lot of fun. Would love to add a small crawler and a buggy like vantage but brushless version. For a minimalist like me, this hobby is becoming maximalist!

[@TomleyRC]

It doesn’t matter how much it costs if you are having fun. People think they have to spend 1000’s to have the most fun… but you really don’t have to

[@savneetsinghrairai6823]

Very right i have to keep good rc car aside as firstly picking up my basic necessities। a cheap line of hobby grade rc cars are needed very much

[@dangerpainter]

Great advice!!!!!

[@RaiuAdami]

Definitely like the MT10. It's great. The slash is also a great budget basher, the thing can take a beating. Especially if you get one used. Though, probably a bit less than the MT10.

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Definitely love the mt 10

[@mikebird8290]

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK PHIL♥️🇬🇧✌🏼

[@TomleyRC]

Had a great weekend at the ‘EAST’ Mike. Going to try and recover this week 😅

[@Pablo668]

Good vid Tomley!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@stormycannon8904]

Bro happy to say wltoys buggy is well worth the donuts spent so much power and fun at a affordable price!!,I like my Arrma Granite and Big Rock but that little buggy is really fun 🤩,thx for your awesome information.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. The Arrmas are great, as are the WLTOYS 👌

[@BadBoyV1]

Great video

[@wordreet]

Epic mate! Hehe, I must be a skinflint because I have three of those of which you spake! FTX Ravine was purchased completely unintentionally, obviously, as I was browsing around in Action Model Center, Torquay. 2 yrs ago it was £109 RTR! It just seemed rude not to buy it! And it's actually cheaper now in some places at £105!!! The Traxxas Rustler came used from Ebay £145 complete with 2 batteries IIRC, and Team Associated MT10 was new from Wheelspin Models £250. £289 now. All great value for money as the last two are tough and fast enough for me on 8.4v NIMH and the first was amazing for 109!

[@TomleyRC]

As long as you are having fun.. the cost is irrelevant 👌

[@Tenfx72]

We have the WLTOYS and it's awesome. MT10 is on the list.

[@Raptor50aus]

I remember my HPI Savage Flux on 6S lasting 10 min then after a jump like at your skate park the magic white smoke pored out of the ESC :)

[@kama8880]

Great video and really nice that you're caring about everyone's wallet during these expensive times! Cheers mate.

[@TomleyRC]

Hard times for quite a lot of people at the mo

[@nickb5091]

Yeah. Unfortunately, I have to live vicariously through these videos 😢 Got my son an r/c car and our charger was stolen from our car while at the park and still can’t afford a new one. Some people suck!

[@djodjodubois9458]

You amélior jump skate parc..very Nice

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

I have really been thinking of getting the speed one

[@Mike-uz7zv]

I need a MT10 :) Was thinking of sand paddle tyres for mine and my sons slash 2wd. Instead we took the FTX Kanyon to the beach as a test. Long story short I wont be getting paddle tyres or take an RC to the beach again. It was a brand new car and rusted quickly before we got home a couple days later. Took a couple days scrubbing all parts after a full dismantle and still cant get rust off some bits. The bearing are knackered and need to buy new ones to put my sons car back together. :/

[@TomleyRC]

I try and keep my stuff on the dry sand. If you get any salt on the rig it will quickly eat away at it

[@Mike-uz7zv]

@@TomleyRC yeah I found out the hard way. Live and learn but we still had a great time at the beach with the crawler:)

[@FarmerFpv]

The Team Associated MT10 is my favorite 1/10 basher. The Redcat Everest Gen 7 sport is my favorite inexpensive crawler. Portal upgrades are only 75 dollars. I'd buy every RC car on this list if it were up to me, lol.

[@Call23456]

Couldn't agree with this video more It's not all about the biggest and the best It's about having fun That's the key is to have fun . We have a ravine that I won from hobby comps . A mt10 I paid 150 for and have broken a few a bits on it now And my most used car udi RC breaker Nothing "expensive" But dropping a grand on a RC doesn't mean you'll have more fun

[@djodjodubois9458]

Very Nice..you and talbot is finis pour battle game..good 👌..vidéo ils very Nice 👏👏👏👐🌟🤟🤝👌

[@dylansarna8750]

Cool I got to see you at East that class 2 rig is sweet in person are you planning to go to any other events?

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers mate. I’m not sure I’ll be at anymore this year, but certainly will try to get to some more next year when I have a bit more time

[@luizsacchi4061]

Great list, unfortunately, I'm in Brazil, so everything is more expensive. I'll keep my 104009, its really good fun!

[@jeffbryner5355]

Associated is king!!

[@skrapz79]

Very good video and decent cars 4 the cash buttt u forgot the geo outback 😭

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, that would a good choice as well 👌

[@junkb06]

You should do a FS crawler review. 190 quid brand new and very good truck

[@Tom-ux2tr]

good info

[@adamwolfy4826]

The ravine is unbeatable if you put some decent wheels, tyres and servos on it, possibly and esc

[@TomleyRC]

Yes. Loads of fun… it was doing some amazing work today at the ‘EAST’ event 👌

[@owencooper2122]

The FTX Vantage is also available in truck form as the FTX Carnage.

[@Sideshowgaz5779]

And with a different body style as the FTX Bugsta

[@RACEABLE]

Ftx vantage is BEAUTIFUL but handing-wise its sucks..it lucks character and i could not customize it to follow my driving style..but it is one of the most harmonic buggy shapes ever made..period (sold it miss the looks not the handling.)

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, and cheap enough for some general bashing about on dirt or short grass

[@stu1987eng]

I have an FTX OUTLAW BRUSHLESS.. excellent machine! 2s 45mph (£200 RTR) My front diff broke early on so it became RWD... I expected the rear to follow soon after due to having 2x torque but it just didn't 😄 🤣 I took it drifting on every bit of dusty gravel all around my house lol toooo much fun! But finally I was doing a fat wheelie along my council estate 😄 🤣 it suddenly went left, I dropped the power to get the steering back but at about 30mph it hit the centre stand of a moped (luckily didn't mark it!) And died spectacularly 😄 🤣 I need a whole new front end

[@tobydyes]

I would either take the Bandit or the Slash

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Mt10 is on the list

[@Papa_Shorty]

I want to expand my RC collection. I mostly have WPL trail truck and a couple modified for rougher terrain. I was thinking something with a little more speed. The open terrain I have available to run a faster truck is pretty rough. Imagine it much like volcanic rocks. It’s there an affordable trophy truck, basher or bouncer you could point me too? Sometimes in the WPL price range perhaps. Thank you Papa Shorty

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

That old bronco is sexy.. love it

As a former full size land rover trials driver many years ago its a pity the gearing isn't to scale as well. Low ratio should be low. 5th gear flat out in low would be lucky to reach 30mph.
