nice video thanks for helping me make up my mind I was going to go with axial scx 10 II but I love the look of the marlin crawler trail finder 2 rtr and with all the quality parts and attention to detail this truck is the clear winner for me very nice looking crawler

It is amazing, the suspension and tires soften up so it just keeps getting better. It keeps right up with my trx4 and my wraith neither are stock.

The marlin crawler is an awesome rig, I love mine the AA batteries that came with for the radio they didn't last very long they went dead before the battery in the truck I couldn't believe it well I like copperhead batteries inlays. I did one upgrade I put on the revolver shackles Front and backAnd I put on the the boxes just in the back Took out the inner springs on the back shocks left to front springs in the shock it performs very well thought I'd share. PS third AA batteries I don't know they must been laying around for a while they didn't even make one hour runtime
@rcdriver7 жыл бұрын
Our AA's lasted a bit longer. Maybe yours were laying around longer like you said.

Just got this rtr marlin crawler very impressive. The one design defect is front tire rub against the truck body only a few people mention it on these reviews. Why was this not addressed by the manufacturer since it’s a rtr and now how do you correct this and You should not need to cut the body or buy extra parts. If I were in charge of marketing this model I would certainly include parts necessary to resolve this issue. So my question is how do you resolve this if the manufacturer does nothing and sticks me for extra parts and cost. Btw I wrote the manufacturer. Your response is welcome. Thank you
@overlandoff-road82205 жыл бұрын
Can you gear it lower to slow it down? That seems more like a hopper than a crawler. Put dual tc cases in that puppy!
@dwaynebaker87337 жыл бұрын
How does this perform compared too axial, and trx-4?
@writedeanb7 жыл бұрын
Dwayne Baker - those trucks are bigger with 2.2 tires. This truck has 1.7 tires so it’s not an apples to apples comparison. All are good in their own way. I like how realistic this truck is.
@scunyon7 жыл бұрын
They have 1.9's not 2.2's. They're pretty comparable other than they run in different classes and the Marlin is leaf sprung as opposed to the linked Axial and TRX-4.

Jahmen RC no but the kits less than 20usd on tower also the bench seat is less than that I think the 2 combined are under 30usd which isn't bad. also the remote has the switch for a 3rd channel so you can hook up the wench and controll it with the remote

Just takes proper setup. Leaf springs will never perform as well as coils n links but LCG is key to any crawler

For the quality of parts this things performs terrible. Looks like you were driving on pogo sticks. Wanted to flip over every chance it got and the front bumper catches on everything holding it up. Great looking truck but I would not spend $600 on this. Not a chance
