This Rig Should Be On Your Bucket List!

[@HellaNorCal916]

The beauty of are hobby is there's no rush. You take as long as it takes to get done. That's a great looking kit. Half the fun is building it.

[@RCTNT]

Thanks. You're right - I was largely fretting about taking so long to do what I told Asiatees I'd do. But yes, enjoying the build is a big deal - Lego knows this, and RC is often a similar thing. ...that said, a friend and I drive our BRX vehicles together often and these things are durable, capable, reliable and fun! Definitely a contender for my choice in the "if you could only have one crawler" exercise!

[@elduderinolebowski5411]

That's quite the rig, it turned out very nicely. There's a lot of impressive scale detail and thought put into that thing. Not just in how it looks when it's finished, but in the actual assembly. For someone who takes such painstaking effort to get it right as you do, it's just the right kit. It has been fascinating to follow along on the journey as you built this thing. Between the commentary and the assembly, all the little observations and even the occasional fumbles. I've really enjoyed the series and would be delighted to see another of this type as you go along. Your build videos are some of my favourites, I must say. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to the next exciting episode of "Building with Craig".

[@RCTNT]

Haha thank you, I don't know if I have another series like this in me! Maybe if I did it as a live stream... I'll think about it! Thanks Mac 🙂

[@elduderinolebowski5411]

@@RCTNT a live stream sounds like winning to me. though with the time differential, scheduling might be tricky. sounds like a fun future event, though, if you decide to try it out.

[@RCTNT]

I'll try it eventually!

[@WestyCoastHermit]

@@RCTNT I would wake up for that!

[@roblowrie1969]

That's such a lovely kit. There's something so satisfying about putting a kit together. Especially, one that's been so well thought out. As for the body, Toyota would be great. There are so many Land Rovers out there, something a little different would be nice. It's been well worth the wait to see this chassis finished. Can't wait to see the body done, and it's all cone together. 🤗

[@RCTNT]

Thanks Rob, it's a lovely model! I've got the 60-Series LC body painted up, but have yet to finish the details. Need to sort a mounting system for it too. I'll have a go at all that later this week :)

[@fishnrc294]

Nice to see it up & running the satisfaction is usually well worth the time spent & effort after you actually take it out. I don’t have a lot of time to build so I’ve had upgrades just sitting & id get aggravated at myself & almost force myself to complete them some have sat for atleast a year but I’ve managed to pick off pretty much most of them. I’m just starting a build using my Sendero HD chassis I hate to see the original half cab go away but maybe I’ll use it again. So that Element chassis is my base I’ve ordered Rock Pirates Bed & Interceptor chassis rails Proline cab new wheels as well & electronics. I’m just wondering how long it’ll take to complete 😂

[@RCTNT]

Ooh that sounds like a promising build! Hope you manage to get it rolling before Christmas! 😅

[@tripsisco]

Lovely to see its not just me making the odd mistake, thanks very much for showing this build throughout these videos. Love the videos keep them coming.

[@RCTNT]

Oh I make 1 mistake for every 4 correct moves, haha! It's probably normal! 😅

[@tripsisco]

It seems so for you and me. 😂

[@YoShImUrA53]

It's definitely asking for that 60 series on top... but do that chassis justice, and get a hardbody one, they're around! Will take quite a bit of effort, but being that this project has already been a slow burner, might as well. Besides, once completed, I bet it'd look amazing!😍😍😍

[@RCTNT]

That would be cool, but I really don't want a 3d printed body. I do plan on driving this thing and styrene is strong enough. Just!

[@WestyCoastHermit]

The finish line is in sight! That looks like an excellent kit. It looks like quality parts and quality planning. Very nice rig. Selfishly, I do hope you get the FJ60 body. A good friend of mine just picked up a '85 FJ60 and I'm very curious as to the quality of the body for a future project. That body looks good in the pictures but even I can be made to look good in pictures so you just never know. Thanks for the review and I hope you have a great day!

[@RCTNT]

Thanks Chris! Lol The body is very nice. I've painted it already. The body arrived a little crushed but I'm ignoring it because there's no easy remedy. Can't see it through the paint and it's minor. I do regret not better masking the windows, those stickers should have been a tad bigger and I could have used tape, but that's a lot of effort and time I elected not to spend. What I'm going to do is carefully trim away some tidy lines from the plastic covering the body, around the window sills, then I'll hit them with black and then lexan matte clear coat. I think it'll do the trick. Then I've gotta work out how to fit it to this beastie. Thinking of using the side rail system but I'll need to build an internal frame for the body first. Working on it!

[@WestyCoastHermit]

@@RCTNT That's awesome!! I know you didn't do it for me but thanks for getting that body! Haha. Too bad it arrived damaged but it sounds minor and that's not so bad. I look forward to seeing how you've painted it and I have noted that the window masking will need attention when I get that body. It's a shame it doesn't fit quite right. Thanks for the information. Mounting the body is a fun challenge. I think your on to something by mounting it to the rails with some ingenious yet to be developed fastening system. I've not seen one in person but something akin to how a TF2 body is secured into the rails is what's popped into my head. Alternately, I don't suppose you can "borrow" the mounting system from a TRX4 or the Rescuer if those would fit. I look forward to seeing what you come up with but if you can avoid it, no body clips. Please? The 60 is too handsome to have big ol'posts sticking out the top. I'll wish good luck with the rest of the build and I hope you're having a fulfilling day!

[@RCTNT]

I won't be putting holes in it. Will work something out!

[@WestyCoastHermit]

@@RCTNT Thank you and Good Luck!

[@SINNER_01]

I'm still undecided on the 01 or 02. But, I definitely want to get one or the other in the near future.

[@RCTNT]

They're both epic. Both are quite similar, too. I think you'll be happy with either - I know I totally would be, if I only had one. It helps that they're cross compatible with their upgrades and driveline, for the most part.

[@fishnrc294]

It’s not a race go at your own pace is nice even if it does take longer then expected. You had fun with no pressure so that’s a win for sure. Not to mention building up one heck of a RC.

[@RCTNT]

Very true! It's a lovely model.

[@pandacrawler6x6]

Awesome build and RC!!! To much "scale" for me and some way limited in here i can run it but love to watch this scale rigs running!

[@RCTNT]

More scale does need a change in approach. Sure is nice to have so much choice in this niche today eh? Thanks :)

[@pandacrawler6x6]

@@RCTNT Oh yha Indeed, one Friend mine Build some very cool Scale Mogs and i love them, but don't want one. In the trails and spots i love to trail and Crawl that rcs cant and for me (and only for my point of view) that is a very limited rc for fun. Hope that my bad English can explain that is only my point of view.

[@RCTNT]

Of course. Nothing wrong with having a preference. I love scale stuff. I also love performance. It's a spectrum. All good!

[@pandacrawler6x6]

@@RCTNT HéHéHé! 💪🏻🐼🤜🏼🤛🏼🐻👍🏻 Indeed!

[@scottjlambert]

Jeez it’s about time Craig 🤣

[@RCTNT]

I know, I know! I've found filming a build in real time to be possibly the most challenging thing I've yet done with this whole rc-tnt project. I've struggled!! Over the hump now anyway. I'll get a body done for it (already have the 60-Series here and partially painted) and then we'll get it out properly. Whew!

[@scottjlambert]

This is one I was really interested in and I’d honestly forgotten about it because it’s been so long lol. I’m sure you’ve got plenty to keep your hands full outside of RC-tnt to keep you busy. It’s good to see you making some progress!

[@RCTNT]

It's a lovely machine. Thanks for bearing with me.

[@kjflyte5088]

Would be awesome to see the linked version side by side .. Boomracing isn't easy to find here in states.

[@RCTNT]

It isn't easy to find in Australia either. Asiatees for the win! I'd be happy to put them side by side (BRX01 and 02). They're similar. Carbon fibre is the biggest difference. Coils vs leaf springs is also similar. I don't think I have a side by side of that yet, I'll get to it in a relevant video soon.

[@fishnrc294]

I’m curious if you’ve ever tried a Holmes Hobby Crawlmaster Expert I used a Hobbywings 1080 esc with it & it performed extremely well the drag brake is as good as a brushless set up even on the steepest climbs or descents I could just stop it in place.

[@RCTNT]

Love the Crawlmaster and Torquemaster Expert motors, yes! They're excellent :)

[@markcole6475]

Nice build! That rig has been on my bucket list for quite awhile! I do have a couple vanquish models and the axles on the BRX look very much like the F10s in the vanquish kits..Any idea if they’re the same?

[@RCTNT]

Thanks! These axles are definitely not the same as the F10 axles. Both are very good. The BRX70, BRX80 and BRX90 axles are modular in design, have portal options as well, and a wide range of possible gearing. They're nice. See the video description for links. Vanquish stuff is, of course, premium also :)

[@bernardrc1137]

Hey, nice n technical vid,👍 was going to say chassis looks long, maybe different tyres, on your course for her, am thinking about getting build kit, do like brx racing, dosn,t look that bad to build, 😁👍

[@RCTNT]

It's a lovely kit. If you do grab one, you won't regret it. They're at the pinnacle of quality and thoughtful design. Just excellence from start to finish.

[@bernardrc1137]

@RC-TNT be my first build kit, 😱😱😅😅

[@RCTNT]

Oh wow. Nothing will top it, you'll ruin yourself, lol Worth it.

[@TheAmericanUhate]

Some 8 year old factory worker in China shaking his head right now at how long it took 😆 Just playin, it does take a while getting everything together just how you want it plus work life.

[@RCTNT]

Heh, nah I just know how much heart Jason Tseng and team poured into this model and into Boom Racing in general. I want to see him do well and for the company, and Asiatees, to keep growing. They're making amazing stuff and seem to really care about the hobby. So that's where I'm coming from! Thanks for checking it out with me :)

[@zoltanfarkas3880]

it might get more steering with hub extensions

[@RCTNT]

The unis will handle it but this is already one of the greats with regards to steering. The BRX70 axles are just ace!

[@Bazil787]

im nearly done with mine but i stripped a screw on the gearbox and i cant get it out

[@RCTNT]

Bummer! Drill and reap, I guess. Good luck with it

[@pocketfuloducks1062]

No reason to rush it…😉

[@RCTNT]

True enough, but there's slow and then there's s l o w !

[@idworkhard]

Oh I love sleeper rigs that are scale-looking like this one with leaf springs, but can perform (somewhat) as well...I would love to see a comparison between this and TF2/TF3.

[@RCTNT]

What I need to do is a round up between the RCrun RUN80, TF2, TF3, Gelande II, BRX01 and BRX02. Better get this thing finished!

I love cross rc and have many. You can find them on the channel here. BRX is better quality. However, BC8 comes close, it is beautiful!
