Francis is the Cool Uncle we all needed, but not the Cool Uncle we deserve.

[@grski900000000000000]

Francis is a good guy , I've grown to feel like I know him from these videos , we've had a few ups and downs ( he helped me burn out 3 diff servos in my Defender😂) However I'm a huge fan and he makes this hobby fun and doesn't take himself too seriously, I think he's an avid MTB fan too which means Similar minds into off road etc etc share similar interests , looking forward to the channel going forward and growing followers , great video Francis well done bud ✌🏻

[@svendemeyer6278]

Francis, i hope you read this :D ... i'll try to keep it short. for starters, i own a Cragsmann founder 2 (also 1/8 scale but i paid 780 euro's) just keep this in mind for later. i have the exact same model and color. what i did to it: put in a Axe Xerun 2300Kv (first edition with the big sensor cabel) All off the shocks, i've put the screwring complete to the top (the ring you use to make the spring harder or softer) Took the wheel off the back door. (dremeld the plastic part/pipe) back door is now completely flat and used a sticker to hide the holes. I had square magnets from 5mm laying around (took some nosepliers to heat up the magnet and then let it melt into the body (so the back door is also secured with 2 small and strong magnets) and i placed some Manga stickers on the body (i love Manga animation :D) this helps with the speed --> sticker tuning i call it :p i use the Absima CR4T Ultimate as transmitter. my plan if possible: (still have to look) wraith skid plate wraith alloy axles custom or wraith links and some nice looking alloy beadlocks. what can i say so far... this car from banggood (+-300euro's) has much more satisfaction then the cragsmann that cast me around 780 euro's the cragsmann has locking diffs and also hi or low speed. BUT! every small servo broke after 2 runs. after 3runs the steering servo also broke down for a car that costed 780 euro's... very sad. same for the driveshafts... quit hard plastic that quickly broke.... This cheap defender has JX servo's in it!!!! big and small one! i had to look twice! so very good servo's!! nice job double e! the double e gives so much more satisfaction. i just love it! i have some running vids, when i place them online i will put a link in this review i have a really good movie where you can see the tires and body articulate. will post this this evening if I don't forget it :D only bad thing... i got my double e and the transfer case and motor case was loose... i could add grease to the gears without wrenching :p but when i secured everthing and titening the bolts... the hole thing seezed up. everything was stuck as hell :p quickly found out the reason... --> no ball bearings... all copper buschings that they used.. will swap those out also (when i have time to measure everthing :p) My conclusion: the double e defender 110 is great for it's price!!! ( I can look at it for Houres!! :D) and like (most) every other crawler out off the box you will have to buy upgrades if you want it to perform like a real one. Francis, sorry for any spelling mistakes ( i'm dutch :D Belgium, not Holland :D) Take care!

This has got to be the best RC youtube channel by far, awsome content.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Much appreciated!!!

[@khalidazhar101]

@@RCReviewChannel no honestly you are, the most unbias thorough reviewer that clearly outlines the pros and cons that is so informative to a novice like me. I am going to get the TRX4 , keep switching between the bronco and the deffender.

[@runnerbaba]

@@khalidazhar101 bronco is half a class better in performance, because of the lighter body. No roof rack, no spare tyre in the back. But both are awesome!! Durability is unmatched till today

Body is a stunner for sure.

[@sitlos.]

Really interested in this truck. Looking forward to seeing what else u do to it. I think bigger crawlers are going to be the next “big thing” soon. More realistic and fun. Kinda like the xmaxx for bashing. Bigger is better sometimes.

[@rcdrives3882]

Some good upgrades right there. It really does look very realistic out on the trail.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Will look good on the Defender rallies!

[@rcdrives3882]

@@RCReviewChannel Yes!

[@1peanut]

That holmes Hobby trialmaster sport 21 turn is an awesome motor. I put them in my traxxas slash and stampede. lose a little speed but, a pinion gear swap fix that.

[@RCReviewChannel]

To fix the steering problem, cvds and hex nuts, we just might put the SCX10iii straight axles. Maybe.

[@straubz5450]

standard 10th scale axles work really well on these, also do a 3 link front with panhard conversion to fix the steering, and move the steering servo on top of the mounts to get more clearance on top of the axle.

[@ryano8613]

How about wraith or wendigo axles?

[@josephwimerYoYoYo]

Thank you! Really appreciate your production quality.

[@oliverstoys8411]

Awesome truck 😊, i like your channel because how you share honest and informative product review, i hope you can start a project away from crawling, maybe just one segment will be good, how about rc drifting JDM type. For me i think i reach the limit in my collection with scale crawling and now i want to change it up to keep me interested. I search around youtube, i didn’t see anybody does a very comprehensive explanation like you. More power to your channel and stay safe.

[@zdattonejones6709]

I had to change everything.. axles and all.. now it's really good.

[@GustavoSanchez64]

Hi Francis, you really should review the Flysky Noble NB4. I've had mine for over 6 months now and it's insane bang for the buck. The new firmware for the 8ch receivers was also released recently that lets you monitor battery voltage without anything extra. $30 for 8ch receivers is crazy cheap and their $24 4ch receivers are perfect for bashing as they are waterproof and have a built-in gyro. Also, word on the street is that Flysky is working on a new firmware to upgrade them to 12ch as they just released a 12ch ground receiver.

[@leereed219]

What's the 8 channel receiver part number? I assume the noble works with the bs6 gt5 receivers?

[@GustavoSanchez64]

@@leereed219 fgr8b. The gt5 receivers don't work because it's different frequency. AFHDS3 is for nb4 and paladin while gt5 is afhds2.

[@leereed219]

Dang! I'm not sure i could justify that with how many bs6 receivers i have already. Thanks for the info!

[@georgefisher8568]

what did you do for tires?

[@MichaelJonesTN]

When you did your Rx/Esc upgrades, did you have to replace the light controller? or is that a separate component from the factory? Thinking of getting one of these to trailer my RC4WD Bully2 around with, how cool would that be?

Can you make the video on fit hobbywing 1080esc and the new motor please on 1/7 landrover EE for the club in british

[@glennjthompson332]

Right Francis! this truck almost don't have drag brake,hopefully in the rc future, if they build one?

[@RCReviewChannel]

That would be cool

[@YoShImUrA53]

Very tempting, especially after your mods. It seems like a very scale but smooth and capable rig now. I wonder if you had a moment to use it full stock and record it where it met its limitations in different scenarios (or maybe even your usual crawling spots), in order to compare it with your upgrades on a later run. If not, there's an idea for any other project you decide to upgrade!

[@ekpauly]

Where you guys at? Do some crawling videos or something. Did big sun run you out of linda vista? lol.

[@krazeemazee]

i have two of them.... and they both stuffed within a month.... they are cheap CHYNA junk....it is near impossible to get spares and the company is very difficult to deal with.... do not buy one of these unless they are on a very big sale... the steering servo have gone on both models already and i am waiting on new ones... not from double eagle because they dont answer emails and thier shop has no one to contact....they have bushes in the diffs rather than bearings... the first model has a very noisy spur gear.. although the mk 2 is a bit quieter.... they have a two in one ESC so upgradeing is not simple....alot of the plastic screws where stripped from factory... and loctite was missing from driveshafts as i found out when one dropped off on a trail.... awesome body... but is let down buy other cost saving rubbish...
