RGT EX86180Pro Tracer Unboxing. New for 2022!

[@brianellison3525]

Wow, tough crowd. Thought ya did good on puting together an informative vid. Looks like something Tomley would be into. Thanks. Be well, and have fun.

[@rcpie]

Thanks, man. I'll keep on trying. I just need the subs! Recorded the first run today, so should hopefully get it online tomorrow.

[@amirulsaddam2265]

DJRC already show me 5 months pass for this design..so that's why im very interested on it..i believe i was the first one get in Asia and Europe for the RGT Tracer..really enjoy this LCG rig by RGT..thanks DJRC.. let's enjoy all the RC #RCADDICTED

[@rcpie]

I've had a look and can't find an unboxing by djrc. You had a Tracer 5 months ago? Wow. I was told they weren't released from the factory until a couple of weeks ago.

Finally an unboxing video

[@rcpie]

What do you think? Do you like the look of it?

[@alantaylor353]

RGT are really stepping up their game, which is great for us in the UK because we usually see the best RGT's rebadged as FTX's. Subbed & liked & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️.!

[@rcpie]

Yeah. There are some good things coming out of their stable and the quality seems pretty good. Let's see if FTX pick up this and the Rescuer. It seems to be taking forever to get the Rescuer out, so I'm starting to have my doubts Cheers for the sub.. Spread the word!

[@alantaylor353]

@@rcpie I'll absolutely spread the word.. If it's RC related & it's good, then I'm spreading the word.! Yeah.. The Rescuer.!.. Hurry it up CML Distribition, we're waiting.! Lockable diff/portal axle trail/scale trucks are thin on the ground.... I've had the Absima Sherpa for a year last May & I couldn't be more impressed, I've had my eye on a black Rescuer since they came out but I'm not getting one from Banggood because of spare parts availability & I'm definitely not getting a TRX4 because of the price & also because just Traxxas.! RC is meant to be FUN not LITIGIOUS.!!

Beautiful new rgt friends😍😍👍👍

Thanks!

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

its a cliffhanger lol thats pretty cool

The body certainly looks like it.

I think so. Let's see how it shapes up.

@@rcpie **"GOOD"...IT IS A "COPY"** !!!!!!!!!! OF AN AMERICAN RC COMPANY, **"PRO-LINE" IT IS CALLED THE "CLIFF-HANGER" !!!!!!! 😡

[@rcpie]

The body certainly looks like the Cliffhanger body that Pro-line make. Pro-line are stablemates of FTX in Europe. FTX legitimately rebrand most RGT cars. Seems more than reasonable that there might be a licensing agreement there.

[@TheAurabell]

I gave my sister my Desert fox, I gave away my pioneer, both Great trucks ! I might get this and keep it, lol

[@rcpie]

It's much easier to drive them when you keep them!

[@markyoung-zv3ew]

Hi, I recently bought one of these and live in the USA I broke an axle shaft within 10 seconds of driving it and can’t seem to find any parts anywhere. Do you think you could help me find a place to get some extra parts? Thanks 3:50

[@rcpie]

Hi Mark. What a shame that it broke so soon. Mine's been fine and I know how lucky I've been. The parts support for this car has been horrendous. I'm hoping that changes if FTX launch a version but I'm starting to suspect that that plan may have been shelved. I've just had a look and can't find anywhere with parts supply. If I find any, I'll let you know

[@markyoung-zv3ew]

@@rcpie thanks for the reply. I guess I’ll have to put some different axles under it till something comes out. Thanks again

[@rcpie]

@@markyoung-zv3ew I suspect you can get something that will fit. Take it out and measure the different lengths and end sizes. You should be able to get another that will fit. Perhaps look at those for the EX86100 (FTX Outback Fury)

@@rcpie by the way, is there any information about this model their parts already available anywhere... As I can't find it online either... I tried to email their manufacturer but till now no reply....

[@rcpie]

@@BlackUnitAdventureSport There doesn't seem to be any parts availability for it yet. Parts for the Rescuer are only just starting to appear, so I would expect it to be at least another 3 months. It's a shame they can't get parts ready for launch.

[@BlackUnitAdventureSport]

@@rcpie I see... Thanks my friend for the information... I agree with you their aftersale not that good..

[@John.lakesrc]

Definitely a cliffhanger clone body

[@rcpie]

No question about that. It'd be interesting to compare them side to side. I don't like it, though. I don't like the colour or the blower.

[@JohnSmith-tf5wv]

Thanks for the review. I already ordered one it is cheaper here in our country. I was planning on getting a capra 4ws but I saw the review. It is a good buy. The only thing I think should be done is to fully droop it and it seems that the tyres are too stiff, a hairbun would be a good replacement for foams.

[@rcpie]

Cool. It'll be interesting to hear what you do to it. The tyres are glued, unfortunately. They looked like beadlocks but aren't. Where are you?

[@longhorn-alpencrawler]

Nice 👍 truck 🥇🥇🥇👍🤩🤩🤩🤩👍🙏💯💯🏅🏅🤝

[@rcpie]

@MRBRUSHLESS Thanks, man. Please spread the word. I'm heading in the right direction but the more help to grow those numbers, the nearer I get to focusing on making the content that (hopefully) everyone wants. The nice thing in this hobby is that there's plenty room for people to watch lots of different channels and enjoy them all.

No, there's no dig unit on it.

@@rcpie is it possible to install?

[@rcpie]

@@user-6tfvk70k78 Not sure but I'd imagine so. It might need the centre plate changing or modifying but anything is possible.

[@MrDevo5]

hi, do you still have it ? still using it? ive got one waiting in a basket, would you recommend it now?

[@rcpie]

I've still got it. I occasionally use it. Would I buy one? No. The reason being that they never made any spares available. Having said that, I've not looked for a couple of months. For similar money, the Rescuer is a far better truck. Completely different but better within its own area.

[@MrDevo5]

@@rcpie thanks for letting us know

[@rcpie]

@MrDevo5 Were you just looking for any decent truck or an LCG rig or did you just like the look of the Tracer?

[@MrDevo5]

@rcpie just a change. 4ws . Not a capra. Keep looking at a ryft though.

[@rcpie]

@@MrDevo5 I've got a friend with a Ryft and they absolutely love it.

[@user-6tfvk70k78]

Is it possible to replace the rear axle to regular straight axle?

[@rcpie]

There's no reason why not. Not that I can think of.

[@YesIgen]

Its a shame that they dont use DumboRC X6 controller but this flysky-ish controller that was used in 136100 Jimny :/

[@rcpie]

I guess it's keeping the costs down. I love my Flysky FS5 but we'll see with this one.

[@brianellison3525]

Flysky has been getting a bad rep around here, it doesn't play nice with others when in large groups. Lots of problems with cross communication.

[@rcpie]

@@brianellison3525 Interesting. Fingers crossed that I don't have any of those issues. Maybe I'll avoid people! 😁

[@aliomar7477-mr]

hai bos i thank you should use mic for you vois.. because you vois knot clear..

[@rcpie]

I was using a mic. Maybe I got the levels a bit wrong on this one. I've been looking at other mic options for outside recordings, though.

[@TheJSR111]

run video please

[@rcpie]

I'll get one made as soon as I can. I'm itching to drive it!

[@user-6tfvk70k78]

Subbed, you need good camera and microphone

[@rcpie]

You're absolutely right about the microphone. I'll get one ordered very soon. The camera isn't bad but it uses different software when running through the gimbal. It's much worse quality. I'll consider an upgrade if numbers go the right way for the channel. Thanks for watching and subbing!

[@user-6tfvk70k78]

@@rcpie I got DJI gimble om4, you are right, software is very bad 😞. I shoot video in native Samsung app and gimble jast works like a blind person)))

[@rcpie]

That's ok unless you want to use the gimbal's object tracking. There must be better options.. We'll see..

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

Gotta say it's the most intriguing, and I think kinda breakthrough of a frame on a rtr truck, yet again coming from "horrible, communist, evil China". They even could have had a full trunk if they'd used more forward placement of rear shocks that is available and lowering that bit under the trunk bed. That'd be really nice.

[@rcpie]

It's certainly intriguing and a real change for RTR. I might try cutting and dropping the body a bit more or get something else to stick on it. Might look cool sitting low.

[@TheJSR111]

lucky

[@rcpie]

To have one of these? I guess I am.

[@TheJSR111]

To be one of the first mine won’t be here im until july

[@1980chardison]

So they stole the cliffhanger body, the axial 3gear trans, ar45p portal axles, rock pirates RC rock sliders gspeed style rails fucking pile of stolen shit go figure

[@rcpie]

I'm intrigued. When you say they stole these things, what do you mean? I guess there are few original ideas around and most companies 'borrow' ideas from others if they've not been patented but I know lots of them also license from each other or share manufacturers or just buy the parts/cars and relabel them. For example.. would you consider that AE stole the Element24 Enduro? I think it was originally an RGT, then a Hobbyplus & FTX, then an Element. It's always an interesting talking point.

[@1980chardison]

@@rcpie never seen any of those ones, I’m talking specifically about this truck like 90% stolen copies something Ali express and bangood, so that with everything

[@rcpie]

@@1980chardison I think you probably need to check things out a bit more. Banggood and AliExpress are just marketplaces, just like eBay or Amazon. They're not copying or stealing anything, even if someone else is. I've just had a look at the things you're suggesting have been stolen and I'm not convinced at all. The axles and rock sliders are clearly different. The chassis rails are in some ways reminiscent of gspeed's but that could be said of any carbon rails and I'm not sure gspeed were first anyway. The transmission is like that found on lots and lots of trucks, so I'm not sure that's much of a claim either. I wasn't aware of the cliffhanger body but, having had a quick look, it certainly looks similar. I don't know if it's the same but if it is, it might interest you to know that Pro-line are distributed in Europe by the same company that distribute FTX (arguable just re-branded RGT), so it seems reasonable that they might have a deal going on. Similarity of thought or design doesn't mean theft of product or IP.

[@1980chardison]

@@rcpie i know your probably into the truck and car scene, but as a hobbiest for a ton of stuff like drones, china which is a big runner of Ali express and bang good that push all the clones, which I do say this with heart for the people who do the hundreds of thousands of hours to create something good, just to have someone else point and click a computer screen and clone shit then undercut everything they clone which is stealing from the real creators inventors of these said products, and eventually does put the real people out of business and hurts them, because of Ali express and bang good which are run by places like china etc and they don’t even earn it, so the promotions of those fraud thieving companies should never be given any props for what they are doing to people and the hobbies they are basically killing

[@rcpie]

@@1980chardison I'm not a big fan of true clones or even direct copies but there is a fine line between similar and counterfeit. I'm a big Lego fan and collector and I've seen all the clone brands that are quite clearly stealing IP and just putting bad spellings on boxes. This is awful and ripping off the designers and the original IP and licence holders. I used to be a computer games designer, so I understand the impact of piracy and IP theft. I don't think this is the same, though. These are common ideas for the construction of a car, all executed in slightly different ways by all the major brands (RGT being one of these). No-one is accusing Element of ripping off Traxxas or Gmade, so what accuse a Chinese brand of doing the same? If this constitutes theft or copying, then there's the question of whether upgrade parts by third party companies are the same as they certainly take the measurements from the car manufacturer. Then that would mean gSpeed and others could be accused of cloning, copying or stealing.
