They're done, and they're AMAZING! RC Rock Crawling in Colorado Ep.7

[@Mike_and_Life]

I like how YOU made the decision not to win. Such an honorable thing to do. Let the commoners fight it out amongst themselves. You truly are a gentleman.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I didn't make the decision- I KNOW I won't win, and it's not the reason that I go to these things!

[@gatorrcgames]

Rigs look awesome, have fun in Colorado! Bring home the win!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Fingers crossed! I'll be happy if I don't finish last!

[@caledoncrawlersrc2216]

Sooooo great to see these beauties on the rocks! They look amazing, i hope you bring them back to Canada for the June comp in BBM! That way i can put my buggy in between both those winners 😂😂. Make us Canadians proud down there!

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's the plan! Thanks man!

[@jasonbecker4997]

Cool trucks! Always love the moon buggy style. Looks like it has a ton of overdrive.

[@jkwinger]

Both builds are incredible! Thanks for letting us watch! Good luck in Colorado!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks so much!

[@JRLawson1234]

You know four wheel steer is the gateway drug to robots. 😂😂. Up next MOA with pins!!!!

[@RadonManRC]

Amazing builds Matt! I wish you the best in Colorado! I am looking forward to your running video of the comp!!

[@NumberOneBatfan]

Trucks look amazing! Have fun in Colorado.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@tatebaumann7691]

Cars looked even more amazing in person

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@ChrisMatthewsKF7WRS]

I have only made it 12 seconds into the video and I love the "Outdoor Edition" and now can't stop smiling!

[@CrawlerRuth]

They look awesome 😊. Have fun and good luck.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@thebigfut]

Both look great and look capable. Tip for disengaging the rear axle that might make it more useful. Before you lock it out, point the wheels where you want to go while still rolling. This removes any suspension preload and makes it more compliant to the next move you're setting it up for.

[@derrickhays3627]

Great work really like the F-Toy great flex for a springer. Enjoy Colorado it's been warm lately 80's-90's bring sun screen! I wouldn't do anything different they're great the way they are👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! I've got the sunscreen, and yes, it's warmer than Toronto right now!

[@88davidw]

Both are awesome builds. Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank YOU for watching!

[@westdesertwheeler]

I love buggies and running videos, great videos!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you like them!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Absolutely fantastic job on your builds. I hadn’t heard of an F Toy up until this series and I have to say that it is about as rock buggy as I can handle. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Best of luck!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Will do!

[@jerrodarndt4012]

Those trucks are amazing! You have some serious talent Matt! Every one you build just keeps getting better and better! I would love to build an F-toy, and just like yours with leafs!

Glad you like them!

Those both look amazing

[@just.jose.youtube]

Wow. Just, wow!! Rigs look gorgeous on the rocks!! Both of them. Jimmy's my favourite, just looks like it's floating above the rocks. Sweet! FToy looks more like a not-special-off-road-vehicle and more scale, also beautiful. And your driving /4wheel-steering/filming skills? Incredible Matt! You've already won! 🎉

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Two cool rigs. If was to build one it would be the Ftoy but with a link not a leaf set up. Loving the "I'm not going to win, going for fun" approach. Have fun dude! 😁👌

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Already having a great time!

[@charlesgabriel4603]

I love the leafs its my favorite scale look. Good luck at the comp hope all goes well, no issues at least.

[@scalebuildersguild]

[@julioperez809]

Congratulations. Mission accomplished!!🎉🎉

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

As always beautiful builds. Love the dig in the Ftoy. Possibly get a longer rear shackle and it will really give those leafs some better flex. Hope you enjoyed the comp, really looking forward to the video from that event.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@Cdeath1313]

Looks great! If I were building that vehicle the one thing I would add: Truck nutz

[@scalebuildersguild]

NOPE! As my wife would say, why put a bumper sticker on a Bentley?

[@neildaniels5443]

Da Ftoy will Leaf everyone in disbeleaf at how well it performs, They do look fantastic 👏 ftoy still my favourite.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@BlindGuyRc]

The rigs look great. The f-toy actually has some good flex. Impressive. The Jimmy's looks awesome Can't wait to see how they do. Great work man.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Stay tuned for the recap!

[@jameskauffman8405]

Good luck in CO. Remember Josh is there for you or mostly for you. He will be a good co-driver. Most of all, have a good time.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Just going to have a great time, no matter how I finish!

[@chevyon37s]

I’d love to drive the F-toy! I’ll bet it offers a really fun driving experience

[@scalebuildersguild]

It was awesome!

[@fallencrawlerrc4587]

They look great and Ftoy is on point with leafs! And the jimmy buggy I saw maybe one point where dig may have help. Bringing the front end up that small V notch instead of pushing into so hard but that has crazy OD also but don’t forget you have it in comp! Good luck!! 🤙

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@Moe44125]

Matt, both builds look great. Love the etching you did. On my RC for a CB antenna I found that the wire wound "E" string from a guitar covered in 1/16" heat shrink look better and act more realistic than the single wire that you used. Good luck in Colorado.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good tip!

[@Toodles77]

Rigs look great Matt! At least when u don’t do to well at the comp, you always have the shine and show!!!🤣 Honestly dude I’m jealous. You’re a one talented Canadien! Have fun brother

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@alans4281]

The one thing I would do. Personally around the back roads in the Australian high country we currently have thousands of construction vehicles working on a huge tunnel project. All the vehicles are identical and carry a bright coloured flag up high , so for me I would change the ball to a flag. Look after your kid brother and remember he is just a kid and means well.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool idea! A tiny SBG flag would be fun! Ps. I managed not to kill the brother... so he lives to see another day 😂!

[@coleschram3991]

you really knocked this one out of the park matt great job man

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@chrisfoxell2889]

Both incredible trucks, love the leafer for its honesty as a scale truck, I wonder if it might take on a few SJ traits in the future? always enjoy both of your channels, good luck in the comp from sunny UK

I’ve built several tube chassis and have not done rear steer. But after watching you drive rear steer will be my next project. Super cool Riggs. Makes me wanna try a leafspring chassis also

[@scalebuildersguild]

Awesome! Go for it!

Dont get me wrong,your's and josh's moon buggies are flat out awesome,but that f-toy turned out fantastic!!!! Such a great build!!!!!!

[@robinkesterlives]

These rigs look reeeeal pretty like Matt. Nicely done sir. Woot woot. Now, remember, the tires go on the down side of the vehicle for maximum not being upside-downess.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Ha! Thanks for the tip!

[@RC-Homesteaders]

How much overdrive on the waffles buggy and id love to see some rock lights and a light bar or two 😊 on them both 😌 also you are an amazing creator, builder, and one of my biggest inspirations to bring the RC community together 😊 Thats why Rocky Ridge RC-Park is being built here at the home of RC-Homesteaders🎉😊

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@BlueDually4x4]

The etching on both trucks looks even better out in natural light. I don't know if I personally would put dig and rear steer on the same rig, as to me it seems you might spend more time thinking about which one to use in every situation hurting your time more than if the rig had one or the other.

[@Sysiphos]

The copper panels look great in natural light! If only you'd have a scale raccoon tail for the antenna

[@scalebuildersguild]

That would be cool!

Beautiful buggy’s. Just watched your competition run on KZbin. Amazing place to run your rigs. 2 celebrities in 1 vid? You and Josh. We’re so lucky. I have a technical question, I see you’re running a MT12. I have same radio cause I have a bunch of different receivers. And it doesn’t cheap in the hand like a Spektrum Rugged. I love the MT12, but are you getting a weak signal from your trucks? I’m recently have been running crawlers. So at 20-30 ft away, I get a weak signal warning. Are having better luck? Would you know a fix?

[@BulldogB101]

Do you have those shackles on the front backwards that plate that goes across the connect and should face forward

[@Lampshadekid]

lookin good 👌

[@natehill8784]

Wonder if swivel shackles would help the f toy?! I used to run them on my full size Cherokee and my buddy's jeep yj, helped with flex a lot on the leafs!

[@scalebuildersguild]

If I did, it didn’t effect performance at all!

What electronics did you put in these? (motor, esc, battery)

[@scalebuildersguild]

I cover it as I built them, but to recap: FToy has a Fusion 2300kv 2-1, and the Jimmy has a Silent Assassin ESC and a Holmes V2 Revolver at 2200kv, both on 3S Tattu 850 mah batteries.
