This took me 5 Months to Build!

The Cross RC XX10 T-Rex is finally finished! (well 90%!) but that's close enough. Gotta be the World's Biggest RC Car (12th Scale). It's cost me roughly $5000 to build, so it's certainly the most expensive RC I have ever owned!

You have cured me from ever wanting to build that😅

[@kylarstern7627]

Amen.

[@AdDaManGT]

100%

[@ryanrussell3104]

Nope I am looking forward to it. Nice problems to have. I was actually looking to build something to take all the other RC's to the park. Almost got a TRX6 AMG to transform into a James Bond vehicle. This is the Ultimate train wagon/engine to bring all those plus a couple adults

[@TomleyRC]

When you have to record a build and plan a video etc.. it’s way more work than just building. I can imagine doing the build with no pressure to complete would actually be a bit more satisfying

[@inawrocki207]

I'm all for the model building portion, even if it takes weeks. But an internal driveline failure with gentle, mostly flat surface driving? That is truly unacceptable for the price. This video literally put me off from this purchase, clearly precision Chinesium engineering at work lol It's bit surprising, as other Cross RC models are pretty top notch.

[@katokidd]

The negligence of the designer does not detract from the skill of the builder. Very nice project, have been looking forward to seeing the final video and i wasn't disappointed. Bravo Phil

[@MitGibs]

Awesome project mate, can't wait to see it really finished! Its so refreshing to see someone like yourself, the expert, tackling a decent project. The "here's the latest RC" video's are enormously useful to buyers, but most of us are only buyers once or twice a year, if we're lucky. The rest of the time we're either building what we bought, or modifying what we bought. To see you hitting problems with a project and seeing how you tackle those problems, it's not only enormously useful, but it's reassuring to see even the experts hit problems.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback. I enjoy opening a fresh new RC Car, but I'm also getting bored of the same thing over and over again. I have a nice list of projects, including some scratch built stuff, so hoping to get some more interesting stuff out over the next few months

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

That is just insane. Gorgeous build, but nothing I'd ever consider owning. Thanks for the honest showing, super impressive work you did.

[@RC-4-LIFE]

I was just about to comment on the tubes expanding for the hydraulics while watching when you said exactly what I was thinking! Awesome build! It really takes a lot of patience and know how to assemble something so massive and amazing! My hats off to you and much respect! Great video and build! Cheers from Ohio (USA)!

[@Del350K4]

Thank you, Phil, for going through the anguish so that we don't have to. You've neatly highlighted the design and packaging flaws while letting us share some of the pleasure of playing with something which demands so much money, time and effort.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Del. It’s been a journey that’s for sure! But now the main part is complete, I can slowly improve stuff and upgrade/modify it. Hopefully a long term build that will get better watch time 👌

[@Del350K4]

This has been an amazing build. I admire your patience. It looked great outside running. You've probably consider this. I know in the UK they have meets or shows where people bring out their large scale trucks and drive them around. I think this would be a big hit at one of those. This a great project.

[@roblowrie1969]

That thing is an absolute monster! It makes the CrossRC 8x8 look tiny in comparison!! With all the issues you're having, it's almost like the company has never built one of them, themselves!! Giving it to someone and telling them, "build this, and tell us what the problems are", rather than having customers facing those issues would surely be a business plan? Either way, it's awesome, and watching the build videos has been fun. Can't wait to see the carnage at EAST!! 😎👍🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you. Appreciate the support 🤟

[@BlueDually4x4]

The truck is a monster. Definitely a one-of-a-kind build as I doubt many people have one. You are the first KZbinr I have seen with one at least. After this thing, one of those ArmorTek 1/6 scale tanks seem like they would be a breeze to build.

[@Lorenzo9214]

Your "dystopian style battle truck" is really a great idea. Very original, you should create other vehicles with this style. The front bull bar is very nice but I think it's a little low 😄. Maybe you need a mechanism that raises and lowers it. A bit like on the War Rig in Mad Max Fury Road

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Such a beautiful machine! Kind of sad it broke, but hopefully we can see it again soon.

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

That thing would be amazing during the zombie apocalypse, and yes the zombie clearing bumper is practical Sir!

[@Nickwillfixit]

I saw one of these where the girl fitted a servo to lift the front guard up enough to clear any obstacle and down when on smooth terrain. she also put all the wiring that goes front to rear inside drinking straws painted black.

[@TomleyRC]

The problem is, it’s fixed on the chassis. So to make it move you have to remove the main support bars. So although it’ll lift up and down, it’ll not have anything to support it other than the winch lines

[@ryanrussell3104]

@@TomleyRC Been thinking about that. If those tube are hollow maybe some one can assist with a twin screw assembly for that piece that comes of the lower chassis ? providing clearance when lifted! I am still looking for options

[@misterfujixman6991]

Super glue/crazy glue is your friend when it comes to bonding painted parts. You can also scrap off the paint from the points of bonding with an xacto knife, then glue. Regular model glue, as you now know, won't cut it.

[@jeh987]

Such an epic build. Well done !

She looks amazing please keep us updated. 🫡

[@TomleyRC]

I already have a part 4 started 👌

[@csj9619]

I'm an experienced model builder and can share the way I paint stuff. I generally pre-paint body panels, then scrape the paint off only where glue is to be applied at contact points. It's critical for proper adhesion of parts. Some things, such as that visor that scootched down on you, I'd use cyanacrylate cement (super glue) for instant adhesion. That rig looks great on camera, good job.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I think I’ve learnt my lesson haha

[@jimbailey1337]

The soft hose is definitely most of, if not all of the problem with your hyd pressure. On a real machine the hose is steel braided to eliminate as much expansion as possible and they use pipe for long runs
