0:20 _See, I did the Land Cruiser, the LC70..._ - which is perfect since those axle housings (diff pumpkins) are definitely Japanese looking and the chassis overall is way more appropriate for the LC70 than the Gladiator. Great choice.

That’s the “safari” truck I’ve wanted in real life for years since seeing something similar the Crocodile Hunter drove when I was a kid.

[@RabbiJesus]

In recently back into RC. I’m glad to see I’m not alone wanting to see scaled vehicles. This is nice.

[@DoURC]

Great video Adam, looks like you had much more success than I did! 🤣🤦 Yours is like a Ninja compared to my screaming banshee! 😬 I see now how you got the exhaust manifolds to fit, as your engine cover is pushed up higher allowing the space to fit them. Well done. 👍

[@annaharpley1673]

Sweet video man ! you should do a super scale rock crawler build on it 👌👍

[@RCplamodel]

Killerbody Mercury Chassis Kit!!!~~~ Wow awesome video, and cool rc car 👍👍💯

[@MauzyrockRC]

Beautiful chassis. Nice job! I built this same body for my TRX4. Took a while to find some scale wheels and tires, also needed the shock mod in the rear and I 3d printed an LCG battery tray. Cheers

[@boiledtea479]

yoooooooooooooooooooo that looks amazing. im for sure gonna enjoy this video! also wouldnt it be fun to make like a series where subscribers can send you builds/running and you rate them? i think thatd be fun. (also my lgrp trench kiungs j ust arrived im so happy)

[@StanGrigsby-tz9dy]

You know darn well this thing needs $1k in parts and accessories!! Patiently waiting for video...🤤

[@CapeCrawlers]

The possibilities are endless with this thing!

[@maxwellfrank4166]

Awesome scale looks!

[@HoneyToker]

I love it! Do you think there would be any chance you would consider making it even more scale? I.e. smoke kit, sound kit, interior? I think that would be absolutely amazing. (Bonus if you can get a FPV cam too ❤)

[@nate4024]

Wow 10th scale for you I love lc70 body I use it on my vrd carbon

[@onemanmayhem]

Whoa, really good looking truck! What you think, would it run more realistic with more weight on it? And I want to see some slo-mo action in bouncy terrain! 😂 Thanks for the video, super content every time!! 🎉

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’ll will get you some slow mo action 👍🏻 I do think so weight would settle it down

[@julianorozco761]

Saludos amigo como estas soy fanatico de estos autos a escala ,muxhas gracias por compartir

[@CR3DT]

I just learned about killer bodies (I'm new to scale arc trail trucks) Great video. I really like all the features of the chassis, however can you put that body on other chassis is would be "more capable" ? Looks great, do they make oil shocks I think that is all it needs.

[@manuelpiston]

Holly crap something other than scx or trx!!!!

[@richardkautz2947]

Why doesn't anyone try it with the diffs open like a regular working man truck? Watching the tires differentiate looks so cool and realistic.

[@guest6423]

Put the clear grease between the sliding parts of the shocks. Asian reviewers seem to have the instructions, but US-based guys are leaving the shocks dry. Did you notice much drivetrain slack? I liked the review, and am glad you had some appropriate terrain for the running portion. I think that people need to understand that it's not for bashers or crawlers, and to not judge it based on what they're used to. It's a complicated kit that's new and somewhat unrefined. Maybe they'll make improvements, but for now it's best suited for people who like to tinker, and don't mind some extra work to make it all function smoothly.

[@breizhcrawler6639]

Peux tu me dire de quels modèles de mini servos j’ai besoin pour ce châssis ? Il faut 4 mini servos mais de tailles différentes apparemment ?

[@fordexp2002]

What kind of battery does LC 70 Land Cruiser take?

[@josecanseca8979]

thank you for being modest with this review/build..but this release was a dumpster fire all the way around...great features for sure,,but plastic chassis rails and they knew that was a weak part so they added metal brackets to make it hmm more stronger lol..the axles are not just plastic but new bright/target toy plastic just very cheapish all around on the feel of the chassis...the lc70 should opnly be on a brx01 chassis and i might be biased bc i own one and im big on saving money wjere ever you can but with this i woulda held offand added the extra money and gooten quality parts all around from the rails/axles/trans/tcase etc those who know know..sorry you had to go thru this my rc friend are you cape cod?im from mass as well if so..anyways great channel...

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’m in Hyannis on the cape

[@BrandViolation]

Looks great! Sounds like the diffs are bone dry!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I didn’t open them up. I should have. Maybe that will smooth out the operation

[@brandonperry794]

So....when you gonna lift it with some bigger wheels lol

[@breizhcrawler6639]

Bonjour, ce châssis est t’il bien car je souhaite en acheter un pour ma carosserie toyota lc 70, j’aimerait votre avis mercury valable où pas ?

[@CapeCrawlers]

It is good but for light trail use. It looks great and is very scale. It is a challenge to build and to get everything working correctly but it is a nice kit

[@breizhcrawler6639]

Merci ✌

[@TrokaRC]

​@@breizhcrawler6639Don't recommend mercury. Scale builders guild had alot of issues.

[@CR3DT]

What is a 2 in 1 motor combo.

[@johngisbourne7197]

Esc built in motor like Hobbywing Fusion series.

[@apokegodyt]

GYATT

[@josecanseca8979]

if you can put that up on sale on market place or something..its not worth putting an interior in the lc70 if its paired with this mercury chassis....the brx01 comes with a lc70 already and redcat had cockpit interiors on sale for 49.99$ and other upgrades for the lc70 as well..joe conti rc on youtube has great videos on all the upgrade parts for the lc70 and has a nice detailed vlog as well....sorry about the bad words on this chassis i just wanna warn you about this dumpster fire so you dont donate another minute on this chassis,,,,,take care

[@kellykuretich6366]

👍👍😁😁

[@josecanseca8979]

on sale 199$ not even worth that....i feel bad you had to assemble this rubbish

[@Toodles77]

I heard this kit is terrible

[@CapeCrawlers]

It was a nightmare to build but only because I had no instructions. I’ve seen other folks having issues with their kits missing pieces and not working properly but thankfully I had none of those issues with mine. I was missing a pinion gear cover but that was it
