Worth The Price? Team Associated Monster Van

[@electricnitrorc]

Nice release from TA. Not always need for a powerful setup to have fun with an RC. I'm pretty sure that 380 will burn if running 3s battery 🙂 the body looks amazing 👍

[@shuster1921]

Little competition for the Gorgon?! That's a tough act to follow.

[@ironj100]

This truck kicks butt. FOR AN ALL AROUND VAN ITS SOOO KOOL. GREAT FOR MY BACKYARD OFF-ROADING. DIRT PATHS SMALL DIRT JUMPS . AWESOME LITTLE RUMBLE TRUCK

[@bidibulle6795]

Honestly I prefer my Tamiya lunch box.

[@zoridor16]

why friend? What do you think are advantages for the lunchbox? I think that the lunchbox has a more resistant gearbox because despite being made of plastic, many lunchboxes resist +21 mph (I do not think that the associated equipment, despite being 4x4, resists 21 mph (since those differential boxes are made of plastic, but ignore the quality) Regards 

[@bidibulle6795]

@@zoridor16 It has been proven for many, many years and then you have all the parts available for a ridiculous price. I add a magnificent body in ABS not lexan! There are a million tutorials to improve it at less cost, and then it does wheelies and that, that has no price on your joy! Yes, I prefer the lunch box.

[@sethnicholls2956]

AND MOST prefer a four-wheel drive to any lunch box RC...

[@blindfox1443]

I do not agree

[@bidibulle6795]

@@blindfox1443 you have the right as I have the right to say that I prefer my lunch box.

[@adrianharrison5208]

I think for the price I would have liked too have seen a 540 motor and metal gears, but it is cool and its great to see new rc stuff coming out

[@pawwingsart]

loved the ice driving! Cool little van and awesome colors

[@rmarkley79]

It looks so top heavy due to the body, kept thinking it would roll super easy. As you mentioned, nice to see some new items come to the hobby. I feel like we got slammed with crawlers for the past year or more.

[@RCRoads]

Nice run. I was shocked at how well it did. Super looking TA.

[@jameswisecarver]

Solid platform, I have the pubg uaz version, no complaints. The body imo is a little over priced 44$ for the clear and 49$ for the painted, other than that it's not bad at all my 6 year old typically drives it.

[@MichaelMcClung-et8nk]

Great bash/video! Very informative! Hope u have a very merry Christmas!

[@davidrivero7943]

BIG !! 70's Purple in a bright Paint scheme , 4wd & priced like a Bigfoot . Whats not to like ?!

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

A lunchbox from TA? I'm into it!

[@muddfoot69]

Can it fit and handle a 540? Say like a 21.5?

[@Mark-g4z2s]

One beautiful van

[@rafaelterrazas9957]

LOOK'S GOOD. VAN BODY'S ARE PRETTY RARE, SO I BUY ANY RC TRUCK WITH A VAN BODY ON IT. 👍

[@rcdriver]

I think we’re up to 4-5 vans now. #vanlife 😀

[@EDMDUDE29]

Cool video 😎 nice RC monster truck

[@rcgoodtimes6657]

Would the tamiya yam harvest body fit on that?

[@rcjoe406]

Got the lmt mini soooo im good but cool truck reminds my of the ae toga ?

[@Doublejj55]

Probably says on the box 12 years or under

[@44punisherable]

It's a 18 turn motor

[@ironj100]

NOT A WANNA be JUST A KOOOOL NEW MONSTER VAN OF KOOL

[@oliverstoys8411]

Awesome breakdown and review 👍🏻

[@MangoJim90]

So amazing looking beauty 🤩 👍

[@Rudimentary007]

That’s damn cool.👍💪🇺🇸

[@zoridor16]

Amazing 😊😊 (please try with brushless system) very cool body😊😮😮😮 (the stock gearbox support 20 mph??) The best detailed review❤❤!

[@astridsactionrc545]

At this point, I’m wondering why there aren’t metal gears for the cr12/mt12 platform.

[@rcdriver]

That’s a good question

[@wezzio496]

É lindo e também tem pouco peso e muita potência

[@ericchristopher9037]

G’day Greg, can a 540 motor fit into this van? Very nice little van, I think it needs more power. Great video, thanks Greg. 🤓

[@pyromaster55]

380 looks like the only option on mine.

[@zoridor16]

Maybe a small brushless motor 😊

[@rc_amigos]

Hi guys, the 380 is the biggest can you can fit with out heavy mods. Also the pinion shaft off the 380 is longer than most. I assumed the 380 would burn up on 3s and it did. I have a video of it smoking. But a good 2s runs great. My plan is to try the @holmeshobbies 380 trailmaster motor on a hw 1060 or 1080. That should be a great balance!

[@jefftroxell4923]

For me, not worth the $220; I'd rather get an old school Lunch Box and a bearing set or spend an extra $20 for the Mad Van. This is a big swing and miss from AE. Too much brittle plastic (yeah, I know Tamiya) and that weird battery holder just looks sketchy for a basher.

[@gearhead762]

Didnt Tamiya do this years ago? 🤔

[@rcdriver]

There’s quite a few vans out there now. The Tamiya Lunchbox van though was only 2wd with independent front suspension and a monocoque chassis. Different design.

[@gearhead762]

@@rcdriver i was just jokin around but they do seem a little similar in execution. 1/12...van body...monster truck tires. It looks like a cool lil rig. Somebody should do aftermarket bodies for it.

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

It looks cool but a body doesnt make a good rc. The solid axles are not good it is too bouncy like a little Clod Buster. I think the Kyosho Mad Van is a better value and looks better

[@illic0]

😮👍🏻😁

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

One look at the price@#$&*, I said money GRAB! GORGON ALL THE WAY! Price and Value!

[@jimbolaya65]

Haters?! …. Really ? 😮😮😝

[@FarmerFpv]

Anything that goofy is worth the price, lol.

[@deltazero3796]

feels kinda basic, may not survive bashing

[@ajsrc]

Look at Team Associated trying to be cool. Adorable. I prefer my Lunchbox way more than this wanna be.

[@chaoticadventure]

Looks slow and weak

[@lael1236]

😂😂😂 how much? For a slow brushed boring thing, a 25 dólar option? Are they insane? What piece of junk

[@BenJRC]

The paint is ugly

[@JonnyJetson754]

Looks sweet man especially the frame and drivetrain setup. Sone cool builds possible 💯🥸
