You’re so predictable haha 😅

[@jessebergunder]

I dont usually make suggestions but i think a really cool video idea is to see which bodies would transfer over to different platforms. You have so many rc cars from different manufactures. It would be cool if this body or the mad van would fit an arrma or traxxas. Its an idea that doesnt cost anything and i think a bunch of people would be interested.

This is probably one of the nicest looking crawlers I've seen here lately...🤟😆

[@Indy64738]

Hi! Great video!!! I have it for months and I found it instantly great. Then I asked you to review it… glad you enjoy it. It has a few downsides, I can say after months using it. Shocks are ok, 120mm putting the center of gravity way too high (clearance isn’t everything 😉), I add some shocks mounts to make it lower and improve the flex, and I trim the body shell wings. The body shell is terrible, breaking easily, I glued glass fiber with neoprene to make it more resistant (like Kevin). The body shell posts are very fragile as well and I had to change them… and take care of it, put grease everywhere because it get rusty easily…. Specifically all around all the ball bearings, grease the gearbox too and the diffs.. I definitely need to add some weight, but all in all it’s a great crawler for a third of a TRX-4… it’s maybe not slow enough but it’s not bad going slow… and it’s very fun on 3S, rock bouncer style 😎😎😎 Oh last thing, the tires are not bad at all! Not that sticky, but very soft. I think it’s probably one of the best crawler right out the box..

[@jconnors64]

We're do you buy parts from, stuck between getting this or the mauler

[@sofgmkimo]

HI,Do you use the bracket to move the suspension locking point up?

[@roblowrie1969]

I think it looks better than the Mauler, and it certainly seems to drive well, straight out of the box. It would be interesting to see the RGT and the Mauler head to head. 👍🏻

[@Del350K4]

I was thinking that!

[@ghobbies7731]

+1 to this. RGT Trample vs RGT Rock Hammer / FTX Mauler crawl

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

RGT has increasingly been getting better over the years. Rock Crusier was my. first. Love RGT

[@kopigangrc]

I was tempted to buy this little guy for my 1st RGT rig, stopped short and bought the 18600 instead. Now I have made up my mind and getting this one on my list. That 550 motor should do the trick to climb. I do noticed the softer drag brakes. But then again.. I have decided. Thanks Phil.. you rock 👍🏾👍🏾

[@ourr.c4065]

Nice bit of kit there Tomley, location looks great.

[@rcandy5119]

Great crawler the wheels certainly help being nice and big, it’s also got excellent ground clearance and packs a punch when you need it 😎👍

I really do like the RGT brand, I've got a few and none disappoint. This one looks great too. Awesome review.

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Nice vid and review as usual 👌👍. Also nice to see the Sherp on the shelf, clean and ready for it's next outing (in a year or two) 😉✌️

[@reverserestorations26]

The way they construct these chassis with 4 link and center plates makes an instant monster truck with monster tires, faster motor and a rear sway bar.

Cool and beautyful crawler, excelent work my friend!)🤩💥💯👍👏

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@SwampersRC]

RGT has come a long way from their early crawlers!

[@TomleyRC]

Agree

[@cramalnig]

That's a decent platform to make into a Monster Truck. I did a little project build of late using an FTX Kanyon, adding a set of Proline 6" monster truck tyres and wheels, some wheel adapters, the usual mods I've done in the past to a Kanyon, a truck shell, and 2600kv 3660 brushless motor with 120A esc on 3S. It's quick enough for an MT, so realistic. This RGT you've reviewed looks great! edit, oh and with it being an FTX and sharing the axles with the Outlaw, out came the locked diffs and in went a pair of Outlaw diffs, 40k wt oil in the front and 25k wt in the rear.

[@JRMOBILE]

I told you, you were the one that made me decide to order one. I just got mine in blue yesterday, I thought it would come in grey but I don't mind anyway 😁. The first thing I did was to adjust a bit the front shock absorbers because it's heavier there and I turned upside down the bumper mounts so now I have a lot more travel on the front suspension 🙂

[@MauzyrockRC]

I like that you answered my camera question before I asked it. 👊👊👊👊

Very nice video review, i was thinking of buying a high speed rc truck again, but when i watched your video, i was Amazed by the smooth performance of this RGT trample, high speed rc trucks are good but costly in maintenance especially in gears and drive shafts 😁. I will be ordering this RGT soon.. I just subscribed to your channel for future updates..

This thing looks awesome. Kinda reminds me of the old clodbuster/clodzilla chassis we use to build. Definitely needs 4 wheel steering though in my opinion. Still looks good 😎👍. I might have to look into 1 of these,lol. The price seems rite.

Yeah.. the Clodzilla. I think I built a Clodzilla 4 around 10yrs a go.. was a beautiful build, but needed quite a bit of work

I wanna see you get your hands on the Absima cr3 sherpa. Would like to see your reviews on it.

[@ed0c]

Different body or just modify that body and wouldn’t have issue with rubbing. Seems like great vehicle. I wonder how add on upgrade support is for it. Integry or what ever. Just an FYI as well not sure what it is but mic is picking up a very high pitch feedback from something. Maybe radio? Or is it from car?

[@jebrc]

I really like that looks like its gonna be a very capable crawler id love to have one with my mamba micro x and the holmes hobbies revolver snubnose in there. (In my experience in 5 minutes your done ) thats what she said 😆 🤣 😂 thanks for sharing Phil

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… but yeah, that’s would be a nice set up

[@carlbModels]

hi Phil, do you think the reverse drive thing does much? I had a truck with it that torque twisted like crazy, thought that RD would have prevented it but once the front went light, it was game over. Nice video as ever, and the quarry actually looks scary. Take care 👍🍺

[@TomleyRC]

Compared to the Mauler it’s certainly noticeable. The newer FTX/RGTs have it and yeah, I think it is a good thing. Although timing your shocks helps as well along with weight distribution

[@mephandr6479]

In regards to repairs, 🔧do you know what aftermarket parts fit the RGT 18100 TRAMPLE? or do I have to purchase only RGT replacement parts?

[@RustyMcRusty]

Should I buy one as a first crawler? Looks pretty cool, like a monster truck as others have said!

[@JRMOBILE]

Will it be worth reinforcing the body with some silicon/rtv to be able to bent without breaking and use some wheel spacers to avoid body rubbing or will it messes with the geometry of it?

[@glennjthompson332]

It's more to meets the eye! (Transformers!) almost for the rock crawler.

[@sukarnoahmadahmad3843]

How many degrees does it climb if give maximum grip on the surface? Have you done something like that?

Jeep Gladiator body style it is cool. Have you tried any Red Cat rc trucks I just got a volcano EPX. It was $179 USD

[@farmoboy83]

Very nice truck. While it is beyond most of our limited RC budgets, will you do a complete Insta360 review? It's unfortunate that you do not get the ability to FPV with it, what can you do with it after you've pulled the SD card? Besides the camera itself, what other stuff do you have to buy with it, realistically, to get something useful to use? What would the all-in cost be?

[@TomleyRC]

I have a full review coming 👍 I really like it… took it out yesterday to a show and did a little bit of FPV… using my phone… range is obviously really not that good. But it’s so versatile, you can mount it in so many decent places for the perfect shot

[@kodak_jack]

@@TomleyRC I’ve seen footage shot from quads and the Insta360 isn’t affected by range, is it? It’s recording to the SD card, isn’t it?

[@TomleyRC]
