Congratulations on your videos always very professional!!! I too have a Miller among my rigs, and I like it very much. I made some upgrades to shift the performance to crawling. I upgraded ill motor with a Quicrun Fusion Pro 2300 kV Combo that I installed perfectly under the V8 motor reproduction only with minor adjustments. I replaced the shoddy stock shocks with four 113mm shocks with separate negative pressure reservoirs to eliminate copious oil leaks. As for the wheels, I replaced them with 4 INJORA 2.2" Deep Dish Offset -10mm Carbon Fiber Aluminum Wheels. These wheels fit perfectly on the stock six-bolt hub by simply removing the center hub. To increase the ground clearance of the differentials, I fitted 150mm tires with an aggressive profile. I also installed a Boom Racing BR-36SW winch on the original setup. Finally, for better protection, I raised on its original mount the steering servo (it costs nothing) securing it with only two screws which seems sufficient. To improve articulation I also removed the front anti-roll bar. Now the Miller is much improved in crowling, admittedly it doesn't have the performance of my Capra 4WS but it defends itself very well and, where needed, a winch pull solves the practice.

ciao manlio, hai qualche post da qualche parte per poter vedere le modifiche che hai effettuato e come funziona il mezzo? sto valutandone l'acquisto ma sono un pò indeciso

[@manlio256]

@@Automa85 ciao, non ho pubblicazioni caricate. Ti posso dire che il mezzo è molto bello però, dato il costo, bisogna valutare bene l'uso che se ne vuole fare. Se cerchi un "rock Racer" questo mezzo non è tra i più robusti. Ad esempio il braccio del servo dello sterzo è molto esposto, praticamente fa da paraurti. Gli ammortizzatori arrivano senza una goccia di olio e, se lo metti, viene perso in pochissimo tempo. Per il resto va molto veloce già di serie. Però per fare salti e correre sui sassi è molto meglio il Losi Hammer Rey che sui siti in germania lo trovi a meno di 450 Euro e spedizione gratuita o quasi. Come hai visto sopra, il mio lo ho trasformato in un crawler e ne sono molto soddisfatto in quanto con le modifiche che ho fatto, è diventato molto performante.

[@Automa85]

@@manlio256 l'ho appena acquistato. Anche io vorrei farne un crawler. Poi mi traduco bene le modifiche che hai fatto

Looks good on paper and in person. I wonder if it could replace my fully upgraded axial yeti

[@benjaminbrown7127]

Haven’t seen your videos for a long time now. It’s been 2 years. Your videos are so high quality now! Keep up the good work man

[@RCReviewChannel]

Welcome back! And thank you so much

[@benjaminbrown7127]

@@RCReviewChannel yeah Np

[@modykujoperez261]

I just love the body I wish right out the box I know nothing right out the box performs that good but I love this body so much

[@Discofpv]

Axial needs Bring back an updated 2.2 wraith 😊

[@NikkiNexo777]

YES! Absolutely.

[@RCReviewChannel]

True dat fo sho

[@MARKLINMAN1]

I AGREE!

[@bsfunk44]

The whole thing is a weak link

[@RCReviewChannel]

There's a tv show called that. :)

[@nursinggerm2009]

Ehhhhh, that’s a little harsh…we’ve gotten used to vehicles being made to bash…the entire history of rc it hasn’t been that way…🎉😮😅

[@connorclark8541]

Rc 4wd says it all

[@IdiocracySpace]

I’m looking for a more 1/10 scale crawler like this just to go hiking with but I keep getting mixed messages 😅. I have bashers but I’m looking to replace my bomber (and a Rlaarlo MK07 because it’s too big)

[@RCReviewChannel]

I know, right? MK07 is so heavy! This one is not great for a regular hiking/adventure companion and long treks. Might leave you stranded as the bugs and weak links are sorted out.

[@philippegauvin4127]

Hate to be negative but need to advise you to get something more reliable in order to have fun especially out in the real world :)

[@IdiocracySpace]

@@philippegauvin4127 Ya I figured. Too bad with all the scale features.

[@jackschumacher8472]

Where did you get the wheel nut wrench??

[@jackschumacher8472]

@RCReviewChannel thank you very much. After the wrench shows up I can get the wheels off the truck. Lol. Please keep up the great content.

[@just.jose.youtube]

Weak and hard to upgrade... this thing is an expensive shelf queen! 😅 Would love to have one, I find them beautiful, but can't justify it...

[@RCReviewChannel]

Fair statement. Great looking, fun when working, but has some gremlins.

[@1500chessie]

I have nothing as trouble with the drive train and axles. So much play in them, the car drives like a loose nut. I' m in progress to rebuild it eith a Stealth XF gear box and Meus Wraith axles. Otherwise the rig looks awesome.

[@RCReviewChannel]

That is a cool project. Use the body and give it a bulletproof drivetrain.

[@geokiller789]

Just recently started having issues with the front diff lock , almost seems like the servo isnt engaging all the way. Any suggestions?

[@MARKLINMAN1]

I would convert this to a TRUE CRAWLER! 👍🏼

[@RCReviewChannel]

That would be cool!

[@dontdoit6403]

Yours came with light bar 😮

[@RCReviewChannel]

Actually, looking back.... the light bar IS an upgrade.

[@LEORedSun]

This is a scale R/C just like all the other RC4WDs. The details are awesome but definitely not for bashing or high speed run.

[@yamahschector]

Looks line a bike ramp that I want.

[@SMC-93]

I've been thinking about buying all the parts to install the axles from this rig on my bomber. I prefer the scale look and wanted the remote differentials. After reading some these comments though it sound like that might not be a good idea.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, not the best idea. It's not at that level of robustness.

[@SMC-93]

@@RCReviewChannel Good to know. Thanks!

[@just.jose.youtube]

Love your videos Francis, would really like if you could upgrade your wrenching footage, angles and what not. 😛 Keep up good work!

[@RCReviewChannel]

For sure. Those cameras really need to be semi-permanent to be usable. Will work on it.

[@just.jose.youtube]

@@RCReviewChannel 🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪

[@AVERAGEJOERC]

I always thought this rig needs some shock tuning out of the box

[@RCReviewChannel]

For sure. These shocks though don't hold oil that well. So hard to tune unless replaced.

[@kjflyte5088]

Phillip screws is an automatic no for me..

[@RCReviewChannel]

Same for me now

[@amie704]

Just put some AR60s on it and call it a day!!!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Possibility...
