RGT EX86190 Rescuer First Drive of New Trail Crawler (FTX Outback Tracker)

We finally got an hour without rain or work getting in the way, so off to the woods to try out the new Rescuer on the trails.
It was GREAT!
Portal axles, lockable differentials, two-speed transmission.. this car is looking to take on the big boys like the TRX4 at a much lower price point and I think there's some real battles ahead.
The Toyota Landcruiser LC76 body is a real beauty too and I wonder if someone is going to make an interior for it.
This should be coming out in Europe in the coming months from FTX but I don't know what it's going to be called.(It's the FTX Outback Tracker!)

Looks super cabable out of the box - might have to get myself one :)

[@rcpie]

It's excellent. Really impressive. I've got some more good footage from the same day, so I'll try to get it edited and put up in the next few days. Just need to get the MN999 first drive up. Thanks for watching. And if you get one, don't forget to click through the link to support me! :)

It really is!

Thanks.

[@narcissorodriguez1537]

Nice video, is this in Sheffield?

[@rcpie]

Thanks. Wrong side of the Pennines. This is in Lancashire.

[@ArcticTechnology]

Wow 🤩 another new car! What kind of tire is it? Crawling? Muddying?

[@rcpie]

And a good one, too!

[@ArcticTechnology]

Didn’t know you would replay this quick wow!

[@rcpie]

If I can, I will! But I didn't see the question about the tyres. They are a bit of a hybrid, I suppose; they're certainly not swampers with very little on the shoulders, so I wouldn't attack too much mud but for general trailing, they seem great.

hello can i ask you questions rgt 86180 or rgt 86190 which one is better im going to get one

[@rcpie]

Without a shadow of a doubt the 86190. Whilst you could argue all day one vs the other, with each scoring points for different things, I think there's an easy way to look at it. You just need to compare each one with the competition in its class. The Tracer wouldn't fare too well against other out and out rock crawlers but the Rescuer easily holds its own against the big trail trucks. Plus the Rescuer has good spares availability, whereas the Tracer has absolutely no spares whatsoever after almost a year.

[@haliunamar1701]

@@rcpie thank you for the advice

[@evandavey135]

Hi, what lipo do you use on this crawler

[@rcpie]

One of these. They're great value and I've yet to run one down on my filming sessions. Zee 2S 5200mAh Deans/T-plug amzn.to/36g3uui XT60 amzn.to/3KVaUSp

Might be a better option to pay £100 more for a trx4

[@rcpie]

I'm not so sure. You get a lot for your money. If you want the portals and two-speed transmission on a TRX4 you need to pay quite a lot more and I'm really not sure it's worth it. This rig is really impressive, as you'll see from some coming videos. Capable and tough.

[@narcissorodriguez1537]

How does it compare with the TRX4 Defender?

[@rcpie]

It compares well. Doesn't climb as well but I think it trails better. The only drawback is the length of the overhangs. Not much in it overall.

[@narcissorodriguez1537]

Many thanks.

[@harry7726]

How about yikong yk4102? which one is better?

[@rcpie]

I've not driven a YK4102 but I was recently out on the trail with the Rescuer whilst someone was driving a Yikong. It seemed pretty good but I had to help get it back to base after breaking a rod end. I've never seen a rod end sheer like that so alarm bells were ringing but it might have just been a freak accident. If you watch my other videos, you'll see just how much abuse this has taken with virtually no damage as of yet. I can't recommend this truck enough. It's awesome!

[@user-ix6ow2zu4t]

Will buy MST DL1 Delica ?

[@rcpie]

I'd love to get hold of one to review it. I can't afford to buy one right now, though. Maybe MST would like to send me one! I'd ask them but I can't find any contact details.

[@DansRcAdventures]

Your link where to buy doesn't work.

[@rcpie]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll have a quick look and update it

[@rcpie]

It should work now. Thanks for pointing it out!
