In this video I give you all tour of or entire RC crawler collection. I give some background and quick highlights on each rig! The collection has grown exponentially over the last year, especially as the channel began to grow. There are way more than I realized!

This will be a good video to show my wife so she realizes just how modest my one little Deadbolt is (extremely modded, and, as we all know, one mod begets another, ad infinitum...)

Thanks Jeremy! Lot's more to come!

[@OneLoveRC]

❤❤❤ absolutely gorgeous creative display of custom beasts it's been amazing watching your channel grow you've been an inspiration to my builds and answered a lot of questions keep up the good work looking forward to see where you going next have a great articulating day

Thank you, I appreciate that!

Awesome I’m here watching, my K5 should arrive May 8 can’t wait. Yesterday I celebrated 68 years of life watched RC videos All day

Thanks for sharing your collection - I started following your channel when you got your 1st one! It was great to here the stories of the relationships you've developed with the manufacturers over the course of your RC journey

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for hanging out during the journey!

[@HunterTravels]

Whoa this is great and the stories behind it. My collection has really grown more then I wanted myself and now that it’s lake season I got obsessed with boats.

[@ImportRacer4Life]

What an awesome fleet man!! These things are insanely addicting so I can see how they can add up quickly!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! Yes, the addiction is real!

[@acrccrawlers9548]

That’s a lot of cool stuff, brother I have about 21 all together and have sold quite a few already, it becomes an expensive hobby if one has no self control most parts are not too expensive what becomes expensive is doing so many upgrades and mods. But it is a cool and relaxing hobby I enjoy working on them probably more than running them. Great collection. 👍👍👍👍

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! These little builds are like death by a thousand cuts! Upgrades are $10-20 a piece, which is easy to rationalize, but then you order four or five upgrades at a time, over and over, and pretty soon you’re broke 🤣

[@andrewrichey7374]

Love that little trailer hooked up to the green truck

[@VerySpecificlyUnspecific]

you should do a build where you try to squeeze as much performance out of an scx24 while only using the STOCK tires. that would be super cool! love the content, keep up the hard work!

[@CapeCrawlers]

That's a very interesting concept!

Recently my buddy gave me a old hoss, still running great and I’m starting to upgrade. Saw this channel from other videos and let me tell u I’m comming for u lol! You inspired me to get my collection up and make my son happy to be on KZbin I don’t know we’re to start but I wana get there. Great videos and info!

Great Collection, I love to learn about them & the upgrades ect. I started with a Deadbolt & now have many good upgrades in it, many on the way. I feel Axial & Traxxis are the brands for me, for now. Very nice informative Videos. Thanks!!

Your channel is awsome I love watching your videos you’ve helped me more than you kno with alot of my builds 🤘🏾👍🏾

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! So glad they've helped!

[@tylerbauer6004]

I just recently was on facebook marketplace and I saw a guy wanting to trade his SCX10 Jeep for another crawler and I had a highly built TRX4M that you influenced me to buy! I loved the small scale crawlers but after I while I got bored of it and wanted to go to 1/10 scale. Said goodbye to my first ever RC crawler and said hello to my new to me SCX10. And I will never go back. The big scale is just so much more fun and capable in my opinion. I can’t wait to see the videos you make on 1/10th scale!

[@CapeCrawlers]

The 1/10's are amazing for sure. I enjoy tinkering on the smaller scales more, but I enjoy driving the 1/10's. The capability is amazing.

[@tylerbauer6004]

@@CapeCrawlers that’s very true. I miss tinkering on my tiny car because it seemed so much more simpler compared to my 1/10th scale. It also was way cheaper. On the second day of picking up my 1/10th scale I went to my hobby shop and spent $280 on some links, servo, and brass…😂

[@rthbrry]

Well done,natural

[@adamskirc]

Great collection 👌 10th scale is definitely a lot of fun on the trails, especially for kids (small and big🤫😂

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks, and I agree!

[@El_Twin]

Amazing builds and gives us inspiration for making ours.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah it was fun watching the bronco build

[@scaleworksRC]

I'm looking at the D1RC Camel Trophy Defender 1/10 as my ultimate. It's not cheap or popular in the US, but probably the highest detailed, performing truck I have seen for the money. It's almost too pretty to even want to risk rolling or scratching the decals, but I suggest checking out some of the driving videos. Absolutely beautiful and a piece of history.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Just googled that beast. What a machine!

[@TeensierPython]

So this is the crawler collection. What other types do you have? Guess I could have waited a sec. You said it

[@americandeadhead5025]

I dislike the colored plastic hard bodies. The exception being the candy apple red Bronco. That one is pretty rad. 12 years so ago I spent lots of money on rc stuff. Put it in storage for 10 years. Opened stuff up yesterday and found a new 1/24 scale Losi mini crawler. A new Losi Mini Lst2 and a new 1/16 scale E Revo. Very fun. Had forgotten what I had. You don't have too many rigs for a RC nut. It is unusual to have so many of the same model though. Understandable for you

[@CapeCrawlers]

That’s like a mini barn find! 🤣 I have an affinity for the scx24’s but I’m slowly diversifying!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah I just bought the complete kit from RCAWD The black brass portal boxes front and back for my K5

[@andrewrichey7374]

Looks awesome with the monster truck tires on his gladiator

[@ICanDoItMyself]

I can relate. With what I’ve spent on my TRX-4M High Trail and what I want to spend on an AX24, I could buy the TRX-4 K10 High Trail I also want. Just harder to pull the trigger on the TRX-4.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah love my Max smashers, I just got the black one the other day I bought the body kit the black really looks awesome it’s not glossy black same finish is the blue one but black. I took a sharpie to all of my body clips instead of Seeing the white clips from the side blinds in much better

[@mcgregor711]

Good video

[@didierurbain3159]

Salut c'est une magnifique collection 😉sa fait beaucoup de radio 😊 pas évident de choisir le quel roulé 😜👏

[@tarantula-man]

That's an awesome collection, you did well with the utb18 its impressive. i almost bought my first 1/10 crawler but i ended up getting a basher for a change and i regret it, that pos is always broken (arrma big rock v3).. i'm going to sell it and just go back to what i really like.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks Frank! I like the capra a lot. If I was to do it all over again, I would skip the brushless motor conversion. Otherwise it's been nothing but fun.

[@dylannnnn1918]

Nice. You’ve got more money in rc than I do in my truck daily driver truck. Lol

[@dustin6828]

[@jaystarmini]

Your rango is a ftx kanyon in uk. Can get loads of spares for them and upgrade diy chassis mod aswell 😊

[@koredvk412]

Well I might not be doing a warthog build after watching this video and definitely getting my scx24 now they just looks like a lot of fun and smaller will fit my indoor course I started building just a little to small for the trx4m I’m new to all of this and love it

[@CrazyQuadBrothersP3]

I think there is still room for a 1/10th Bronco from horizon hobby sale! 👍🏻

[@CapeCrawlers]

I had one in my hands last night. SOOOO close to getting one. My LHS has one left at the $299 price. I may go get it this afternoon.

[@CrazyQuadBrothersP3]

@@CapeCrawlers Yeah those deals are so tempting. It’s put this and other RC’s in the hands of people that would have never got one. So it’s a win-win for horizon hobby also. Brings return customers. My brother and I grabbed some of the Atlas 6x6’s. Those are a ton of fun also. Really enjoyed this video of your whole fleet of crawlers also.

[@byronrocks6244]

Awesome collection!!! I wish I was your neighbor..💯💯😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊

[@CapeCrawlers]

Haha! Come on over lol

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah the FCX 24s become my favorite,

[@Bucky5068]

I wanna buy an axial Glad like my 1:1. All sorts of good rock crawling down here in Westen North Carolina mountains!

[@VS666]

Damn what a collection😂

[@ejsrandomadventures]

Nice collection! Crawlers are so fun. Any thoughts of getting a 1:6 scale like an SCX6?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I like the SCX6 Honcho a lot! It's just so expensive. We'll see when Black Friday rolls around. Or if they offer it in a Gladiator, then I'm toast

[@ejsrandomadventures]

@Cape Crawlers The Honcho is a blast and the usable scale details are fantastic. Would look great with a Gladiator body!

[@claytonjessup6163]

Get the 1/6th !,,

[@snorrevonflake]

Thats a lot, and i thought i am going crazy with my hobby stuff collections. Wonder how you find the time for it. (Also having a child and a job that allows you to afford all that stuff.)

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thankfully my son loves it as well, so it’s something we do together. But to make the channel work, I get up early and stay up late. It’s a grind sometimes, but it’s worth it!

Who did you say the unimog? I would love to have one with the FMS looks top heavy

[@grim_adventures]

Hey cape crawlers! I just realized I’m not far from your neck of the woods. Curious to know if you go to wreckless hobbies at all? I’m in the Southcoast area! You have great content as well!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I do! Not so much lately now that the construction on the Sagamore bridge has made leaving the cape nearly impossible. But once that clears up we'll be at Wreckless pretty often.

[@cody41895]

I’d like to see you do a review/build of the RGT Rock Cruiser V3FD. It’s 1/10 old bronco.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I'll look that up. Never heard of it!

[@kenpachi421]

Yeah I drive a jeep wrangler Rubicon. So I got the scx24 jl a month ago watched your budget build pretty much did the same thing. Only I opted for a bigger motor instead of the stuff you bought on etsy. Yeah I want the 1/10 scale wrangler so bad. But I am currently in the process of purchasing a HPI Savage flux (insane monster truck😅) from my brother.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thats awesome. Have fun with the monster truck!!

[@kenpachi421]

@Cape Crawlers thanks. Yeah I've been into hobby grade bash rcs for about 9 years now and the scx24 is my first rock Crawler. It's so fun to upgrade. So many aftermarket parts. I am going to throw some aluminum steering links and shocks in it delivery tomorrow. Also need to vent the tires. All will be done tomorrow. Always wanted a Savage tho. I have erevo Brushless and a Brushless rustler.

[@Dane_Whynot123]

You can tell he’s a dad cause he says “the marketplace”😂

[@andrewrichey7374]

The trailer at the beginning is the one I’m talking about

[@seniorxj2931]

Which scx24, fcx24, ax24 chassis would you say is the best to build off of? Gladiator, Jlu, C10, Bronco, Deadbolt, K5 Blazer, etc?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I think the C10 or deadbolt. Probably the deadbolt if I had to choose one. With very little mods it becomes so capable

[@willarnold9933]

So which one do you guys use the most now?? My boys love my trx4m but i'm already looking ahead to what's next...

[@CapeCrawlers]

Right now we are loving the trx4m high trail trucks!

[@Tomeygun79]

Would be cool to see a 2024 edition

[@Matt-it8jh]

Time for a 1/10 build, totally different satisfaction.

[@CapeCrawlers]

What would you say is the best crawler you own? Standard and modified

[@CapeCrawlers]

My scx24 gladiator is still my favorite. I have the fully built one and a lightly modified scale rig and love them both!

[@toastypotato185]

Where did you get that sideways servo mount on the trx4m with the titanium chassis? Have been looking for one for ages 😂

[@CapeCrawlers]

Balsawood rubber band powered airplanes Rc . Nitro engine airplanes .nitro monster trucks .nitro monster buggies .regular airplane flying .hang gliding..(ONE OF BEST EVER hobbies.) that was for 12 years) and i still have all my gear icluiding the hang glider. Now i got into the 1/10 scale crawlers about 4 years ago Now im thinking about triying the 1/24 scale I do all my own chasis cages etc. Out of titanium !! Of all of the hobbies i have had rc crawling and hang gliding have been my favorite ones!! I just got the new axial cj 1/10 jeep Next thing is gonna be 1/24 scale I want realistic looks and performance!! Wich one do you guys recommend me??

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! It’s still perfect. Love that motor

[@mr.dillpickle]

@@CapeCrawlers Awesome, that's great to hear! Thank you!

[@mosescheng5827]

Which is the best one in your opinion?

[@CapeCrawlers]

As far as performance goes? Probably my orange comp build. I think it's the best all-around performer.

[@gibsonlife573]

I got that same buggy but I have the mofo bam motor in it and I'm telling you right now that they will literally tear the tires off the rims if you're not careful it will shattered everything it will not stop I think it's a absolute monster I don't think it knows when to stop also I have aluminum axles lot of brass in the front end only thing it needs done is a different set up when it comes to the skid plate links and all I'm waiting on somebody to come up with something

[@CapeCrawlers]

Makes me want to try the BAM motor!

Hey Adam if you see this comment can you please let me know where to get the angry face front end for the fms power wagon? Thank you so much

[@CapeCrawlers]

I got it from McCue’s RC shop on eBay

[@therealcletusrc]

Will you be getting the hobby plus cr24’s?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes I think so. For $88 I need to test it out! That’s bargain fun

[@ON-qe1vb]

Thanks for the Tour around your garage! Since you know all the riggs first hand I would like to aske you for your recomendation. I recently got a TRX4m Defender. My first 1/18 crawler. Here in Germany I can bye a Fire Horse for 89€ and im Thinking of getting one to be able to drive with friends ore Kids visiting. Now to the question. Compared to the trx4m ist the fire horse still a fun rigg ore would it feel like rubish not being able to follow the defender on the Trail? The FMS Fj Cruiser ist also quite cheep her (99€). If this two options dont make sence im thinking of getting the new K5 Blazer ore the Rockvan. But both actualy over my price Range just for a "visit-Car" for Kids. Thanks again for your Videos and Comparrissons. And also showing the modificationd that are posible. Love youre style of demonstration. Realy layed back, calm an fun to watch!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy the content. The Fire Horse is a good backup rig. It is slower (significantly) than the stock TRX4M and not as capable, although not much less capable stock. So if you were rock crawling and going slow, the Fire Horse would hold it's own against the TRX4M. But if you were trail driving, the M will dust it. It would be the same for the FJ cruiser. The big advantage of the K5 is that it utilizes the two speed transmission, making it fast on the trails and a capable crawler. Hope that helps!

[@ON-qe1vb]
