SUBOTECH BG1515 PATHFINDER: Unboxing, Teardown, Review, Improvements!

[@TheDIYGuy999]

This thing is huge for a 1/12 RC! And its off-road capabilities are enormous. But is it any good? If you like this video, give us a thumbs up and subscribe. This helps a lot. Thanks, guys!

Very good tear down video, thanks for doing this, i would order one but it will arrive in UK smashed

How long wheelbase this RC?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Sorry, I can't tell, because I gave it away

[@kpeel1357]

Now that you have had it for a year, How's it doing? I just purchased one this week.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

It is a nice crawler, but to be honest: I did not use it that often, because I just have too many RC cars ;-)

[@kpeel1357]

@@TheDIYGuy999 thanks. I am removing all the upper parts to make a "crawl space" vehicle. I'm going to use 2 gopros. Do you have any light weight camera recommendatons?

[@laytonpratt]

I was looking at this for a cheap crawler. Thanks for doing this video. There aren’t very many videos on it.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

You're welcome. Yes, there are almost no videos, except for commercials from Chinese online shops. I hope it is useful.

[@kraemeroffroad4800]

Would a 540 motor be able to fit into it? Thanks

[@TheDIYGuy999]

No, there is not enough room. Better use a brushless motor with the same dimensions as the original motor.

[@mikesrccorner]

I've seen a video or 2 about this model and it seems to be a pretty good crawler and better than everyone's expectations. Nice overview video looking forward to seeing more from this RC :-)

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks, Mike. A crawling video will follow soon.

Hi, nice video! I'm currently looking for a crawler around this price class to modify with fpv and do some off road crawling. I'm currently doubting between this and the MN-99. What would you say?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

This one is more like "hobby grade", but I still prefer the MN D90 with upgraded drive train and WPL 2 speed shifting transmission.

[@jaxoezy]

@@TheDIYGuy999 thanks for the response! I think I will go for that then with the upgrades. And there are more spare parts available for the mn series

[@pableras2211]

Good review A question. What rc car would you recommend to crawl with a price below $ 100? Could it be this BG1515?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks. I think it's not bad for the price. Insane off road capabilities, but spare parts are not easy to find. Also see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX64ooWBodihmsU

[@akrammashelfam5849]

Wltoys 10428 or subotech BG1515? thanks

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Depends on what you are looking for: 10428, if it should be fast but still good off road BG1515, if you want a slow crawler with insane off road capabilities

[@MrGlobaldave1]

Too bad they lied about the shocks! I guess adding the ONE oil filled makes their statement true? It DID have a oil filled shock. OR they just sent you a defective item? This had all the features I was looking for as my first crawler. I have been trying to obtain the HBX 12889 Thruster but finding that either too highly priced now (almost doubled) or sellers showing in stock but after I purchase, replying "discontinued" or "out of stock" GREAT review and thanks! Guess I will stay away from this one.
