[@ReadySetRC]

Great location guys👍👍 Love the new headquarters!

[@Onio_Saiyan]

At mention of the fpv expedition, I say that's a fantastic idea.

[@bricel8981]

Yes! a fpv scale crawler trail would be great to see.

[@megustachuletas3956]

That Gen 8 is a Beast!

[@mikeupton5406]

Drive On has great potential. I am glad you are doing some crawls around Edgewater it's a good reminder to bring some R/C ground vechicles. I really like your take on product reviews. It seems more like they are aimed at the casual R/C truck and car enthusiast. I am personally really happy about the positive relationship with Redcat. I am a tinker'er and think the Gen7 and 8 is a great jumping in point. " Oh, did that break? LET'S MODIFY IT!" As long as there is aftermarket, and I have tools, I don't care what they made those axles for, their goin in the Gen 7. I have a Kyosho Optima from the 80's that's Kyosho, Custom Works, Tamiya and Boeing. So, yes product reviews and thrashing around Edgewater avoiding being shot at by airsoft toting A-10s is awesome. How about taking on a ARRMA Limitless? That's a R/C car that will leave a mark.

[@Rosie__Bee-Buzz]

tip , when you get stuck in a puddle or some mud wiggle your front tires

[@rmdcade1717]

I'm pumped for this new chapter in FT/DO history.

[@jamesswift4641]

Yes show the Gen8 in a scale setting👍👍

[@litterbug4023]

Uhhhhh yeah, you did FPV expedition at edgewater on your channel already, but YEAH Bring it on some more!!, Throw some long range gear on it, GPS, and an OSD for fun too! Bringing my traxxas 2wd LCG Slash up to Flight and FPV fests this year. CHEERS! LitterBug

[@218maryland]

Best video ever

[@frandaman5389]

Why are you guys not posting??? These are great!!!

[@008AlanWONG]

The little tree branch which blocked the RC . Reminding me people cut down trees to slow down their enemy during the war. Of course, it is not working too much now.

[@ocularcavity8412]

Love the content XD and also FPV EXPEDITION !!!!!!!!!

[@airsoftoutback3174]

Is edge water open to the public for flying and crawling?

[@TheDarkKnight350]

sweet some rc submarines

[@jeremynaufal6661]

What is threecell? You mentioned at 8:46 , so it foes faster on overdrive , it comes standard?

[@scytheryx9975]

you got RC plane videos, RC now car videos, whats next? boats?

[@darrinboadway]

sweet

[@adamandlorraine]

Fpv expedition ftw

[@hhds4716]

Yes fpv

[@operation11charlieinc]

Niceee brother

[@AlexanderLabial]

Crawling expedition should be a weekly (Y) (Y) (Y)

[@dut9691]

do you know the plane thatyouguy;s made that drop the red cat gen 8 wiuld it be easy to make

[@boykeification]

nice place! wish you will giveaway the orange one,my dream rc

[@ChiliConCarnage]

This is incredibly, stupidly amazing! But I have to ask... Are you guys drunk? :D Anyway, YES we would ALL like to see you drive that thing FPV through a public area. Right guys?

[@fcbrigham]

#ShacklesUP

[@mattthatsme8799]

"Russian raging river" lol!

[@marekpoulin7397]

Fpv truckkkss plz!!!

[@scarysamons]

why do you do the same rc cars in your videos. isn't this supposed to be about different rc cars and trucks... I'm confused.. invite me on the show. lol .... jk. don't invite me. I got my own channel. lol .. fun fun.

[@durtydaddyrc]

I say do it fpv definitely

[@thecraftking113]

Deffintly more spots like that would love to see some fpv from truks as well

[@timkhj]

I think having both the traditional review and also the videos of you guys enjoying your trucks is worth the watch! PLEASE keep it all coming!!! Showing usage and enjoyment of the vehicles is perhaps a better sales pitch on crawling/the trucks/whatever than just "hey this is a good product"

[@nowthatsurban]

Agreed. That's what the original Flite Test was about... look how that turned out!

[@dragonknightadam]

Are you guys going to be landscaping edgewater? You could make it onto a dope RC playground with tracks and everything

[@michaeldavidcilantro3378]

Dragon Knight Adam i hope so they could have a scale airport strip and amazing country side town with a drift track and built in crawler course. I could see this being a thing

[@wspepsilon]

@@michaeldavidcilantro3378 yeah, the focus is definitely and obviously air but as you can see they really embrace all things rc and are just a great group of people.

[@towamonster]

Heck yeah fellas!...ive got a modded gen 8....live real close to you guys....we should get a crawl date set up...got a few buddies that would show up

[@floppycraft9813]

That is quality content

[@TechKnowCSS]

Do FPV Jetboat race from one end of river to the other.

[@mikesheahan6906]

Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty sweet ride, guys!!! 😃 About FPV with crawlers... Definitely do it! It's pretty smooth! 😃 I must have 3 videos, I guess, of FPV with a crawler in my other channel. 😃

[@AmpHibious]

i can't wait to check out the place if you guys have another open house.

[@michaelbass6176]

A flight test check out RCSparks

[@eternalprogression]

YES! so glad to see Stephan on another Alex vlog. You know ur gonna have a good time when those two get together

[@graymatter45]

You must be running the stock foams. They get really hard when it’s cold. Put some Hyraxes and two stage foams on it and it’s unstoppable

[@gideonsnowdon6913]

Fpv crawling in public

[@konstantinkuletski6156]

Fpv crawling in public!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JB-jj4ht]

Should i buy this?? (When i get enough money) I want it👍🏻

[@dangavin]

I like these trucks but I’m still in love with my trx 4 haha

[@michaeldavidcilantro3378]

Dan Gavin - RC videos scx10 ii for me always loved it

[@FrigidColdFlying]

So how do I come and fly at Edgewater Airpark? Do I just show up? What are you guys planning in having people come out there? Will there be tent camping there? Thanks!

[@rcjono]

Still a great video 3 years later! The scout gen 8 is an ageless beauty!

[@dustinmiller7278]

What happened here no posts in a year

[@wheresmynamego1152]

FPV CRAWLING! I’ve been saying it since you started this channel. That new location is perfect for some FPV crawling expeditions. Full pan and tilt, how far can you get , what obstacles can you get past. A second driver could spot ... There’s some pretty crazy ground based FPV videos with working gauges in the car and going surprisingly far . DO IT !

[@peterrcbasher]

Cool video!! Love the gen8!

[@dizzydrc]

YES! Would definitely love to see this with FPV with headtracking. 👍🏼🤙🏼. PS: we're waiting for some uploads guys.😥 What's happening?

[@tylershamp8434]

I personally like traxxas

[@TechKnowCSS]

I liked TRAXXAS back in the early 90's when everyone called them TRASH and JUNK product. I bought the FIRST "NITRO HAWK" they made. However the motor was a junk .12 and wore out compleetly at about 1 gal of 20%. Was so much better with the OS CZR, but had to lath the crank to get the TRAXXAS flywheel and clutch to mount up.

[@BeefaloBart]

Find a local Jeep club and go out for a 1:1 crawl, and the RC versions will be even more fun.

[@AsqRob]

I like this content better than the reviews personally. As much as I do want to see those, I'd rather have a good time :)

[@Flyby-1000]

After watching your video of the car drop on your Flite Test Channel and this one, I might purchase one of these in the near future. I will be looking for a Jeep Wrangler YJ body (square headlights) and modify it to look like my '92 YJ to eventually replace the Scout body...as much as I like that Scout... Want a real rush like you experienced with Trent Palmer and the Flying Cowboys? Do it in real life. See if you guys can hook up with LITE BRITE (Kevin & Brit) on their YT channel and experience real rock crawling in their Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JLUR)... You will totally get why it's addicting...like bush flying... Great video, keep on reviewing and keep on bringing us the crawling adventures... Also...did you know that they make operational miniature winches for these things???

[@jamiequam9742]

I think it would be super cool if you did some shows with some legacy RC cars and trucks (if you can get your hands on them) like the Clod Buster, Lunch Box, Traxxas Radicator, and some of the old buggies like the RC 10, the Frog, and the Grasshopper. I have an old Kyosho Pro XRT Stadium truck I'm trying to get on the road again... Just a thought...Keep up the awesome work, guys!

[@douglaselliott8298]

I just ordered a WLtoys 10428 1/10 buggy. I almost threw down for a Bison or Cheetah or Zombie. But in my researching these RCs I found much more enjoyment from 'rock crawling' vids/trucks than watching cartoonish, scale model monster trucks performing jumps and aerobatics not found anywhere in real life. Or them literally tearing themselves apart in the quest for unmanageable speed. Keep it up on these 'On the trail" videos. Wish me luck in this new avocation.

[@PYROxSYCO]

I never knew FT/DO moved into a new place. As for some of the questions you asked. Fpv in a public place? Have you heard of Henry the car that thing gets attacked alot from his thumbnails. You exploring Edgewater sounds great there should be a lot of good hazards and bunkers to crawl around in. I like all your content reviews, amazon specials, fpv. Have great time!

[@dadoo64]

Just stumbled on this channel. Awesome you guys do more than just fly. I use fpv on my little Axial 1/24 jeep. Super fun expeditions around the yard. Any chance of adding a crawling course during the FliteFest?

[@dmichel26]

Glad that you guys are doing RC cars your video production is always perfect.. I’m hoping you guys touch on pro level RC race cars like Xray RX8, Mugen, Serpent and infinity cars Gas and electric.. we definitely need some reviews and exposure on our sport.. hope you guys work on it.. keep up the great work..

[@joelspangler]

FPV Crawlers at FliteFest! Keep up the fun content and throw in the "review" info we need while you're actually using it... please don't go with any rigid review format. Also - crawlers are fun, but there looks like some fun places to bash too, so get some footage of a 4wd SCT, buggy, or truggy at edgewater please.

[@DanielKezar]

river crawling is wicked fun, but you gotta make sure its all water-proofed up. they all SAY they are water-proof but they almost never are, or at least cant handle submersion in a running river. the best way i have found is putting the receiver in a balloon and then put clay or sticky putty around the wires coming out of the hole with a zip tie or rubber band around the neck of the balloon. then put that back in the normal water resistant receiver box. you can also use some corrosionX on the receiver when you put it in the balloon which helps.

[@dieGRUVE]

do some drift RC!

[@thomassnyder3674]

The one thing you guys are missing with these scale trucks is, modifying them to make them your own. Between all the different bodies and axles and brushed and brushless motor setups. Making it your own is the most gratifying thing about them. Even just swapping wheel and tire combos makes a tremendous difference to these crawlers

[@LeftenantMalachi]

You totally nailed it from 4:28-5:00 on why crawling is so awesome! I've had fast RCs before, for racing and bashing, however I enjoy my new orange Gen 8 Scout the MOST! Great video!

[@dauntlessfpv]

Bring back the team associated 1/28 scale cars, with fpv, and do a tour of the new ft headquarters

[@cornbinder1970]

Absolutely more crawling adventures, maybe attend or hold scale competitions at new home...crawlfest??

[@route66flyer29]

Bringing the crawlers to a public space would be cool if you put the camera, say, behind the grill where it wouldn't be noticed. *Dance the Skies*

[@Hiroak]

Wow you guys have some great land there. You should build a crawler park and run some FPV crawler competitions. I really like all the content, reviews are good but this is a little better.

[@earthsciteach]

Very fun video, guys! Edgewater is such a cool place! I'm looking forward to spending some time there!

[@jasonbash3419]

Can't wait to crawl with you guys. Maybe we could do a crawling mob with 20 or 30 rigs like dj medic has done through a mall or city park

[@Gantorin]

I watch the product review content when there a a lower volume of fun adventure type videos due to focus being put on biiger things like moving, but I love these vodeos the best in my opinion. But, I know thinhs can get busy at times for you all.

[@traviswadethompson]

What kind of batteries are y’all using on these? I’m looking to purchase one but I don’t currently have any RC batteries so I’ll have to get all the bits and bobs.

[@wspepsilon]

I looooove this type of content guys. Can't wait to come camp for the weekend! Planes, crawlers, friends, and fire... what better combination can you think of!?

[@fuxionxc6545]

When I see these I wonder why they don’t buy a traxxas rustler or a car that off road and could completely destroy all of the tests the put them through and cars like that have incredible speed up to like 90 mph and are so much fun

[@rockystoops4585]

Break those tires in man. I did a fig8 to break mine in. The more u drive the softer they get and after that they are just awesome and can make more climbs than I ever thought possible.

[@rosscajayon8177]

the word you're looking for is...... 'SATISFYING'

[@chrisboyd4433]

Add a recovery hook to the top of the body, attached well. Pick up an old broom handle, and add a hook to the end. Instant recovery mechanism for the river runs.

[@R3cKi7]

That was no stick, that was a fallen tree lol make FliteTest flags with a YT logo and put them on the trucks for the public show!

[@akmay9824]

Did you guys have any problems with the factory waterproofing?

[@gh_3_2]

I think that you guys should make a trailer for the redcats so you can carry drones and stuff so you can drive to a certain place, takeoff then land back on the trailer.

[@ethanfilewych6754]

You guys need to make a video of this thing towing a jet boat and launching it in the pond!! That would be so sick!

[@joaquinrodriguez9950]

Hey guys looking to buy one next week would i be ok as my first crawler or should i go a different way??

[@SgtKong]

I'm not sire what was more impressive, the crawlers or Alex's jump skilllz

[@morganking6586]

Love your videos keep them coming

[@blondyeti]

Take 2 trucks with FPV and set up a tiny winch for towing each other if one of you gets stuck.

[@LineTwist]

Killer video loved it. So many places to crawl there. Need to make some tracks for faster vehicles

[@brianlawrey3906]

You guys should do a amphibious type all terrain vehicle.

[@michellekeefer7397]

With wings

[@brianlawrey3906]

I'm thinking more like sea and land .

[@chrisboyd4433]

How about dong a FT-style foamie body for the Redcats?

[@wynnfpv]

Nice bros! Can’t wait to fly there!!

[@jeremybressler2225]

Great viedo keep going..

[@richz2608]

mine on its way..redcat.com,269.00 free shipping.

[@MikeDesertHunterHale]

many people run FPV on their crawlers. You need to get groups together and go on trail runs!

[@georgemccune8502]

Fantastic review of these trucks. Keep them coming!

[@air-headedaviator1805]

I wonder if any crawlers are sold with treads. those could go over way more stuff

[@uelihunziker6322]

How deep can these wade? Are the internals protected from water ingress in any way?

[@Shol2thaVa]

Good vid guys can't wait to see more fun times at the new HQ =)

[@jorgegutierrez7721]

do these have a high/low gear ratio ... commanded from rc control ?

[@owenmannigel9103]

Do all of those gears and stuff get wet and stop working or anything?

[@Dubravkuh]

Love the channel please keep posting! This channel will blow up
