[@gilflores789]

When you bring comedy gold you bring it whether it’s done accidentally or purposely. We love ya for it!! Thank you for what you do! Much love from San Antonio, Texas USA!!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude. Appreciate the support 😎👌

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Ha, mission control, we have a runaway. Loved it. I still have my FTX Mauler, it's been a great little truck. Had no idea it was that good in the mud. Great fun watching. Keep em coming. John

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers John... was pretty funny when it decided to go off on its own 😅

Haha... very true!

[@andyp6699]

Had one of these for 5 years TOMMO. Conformal coated the esc .Never had a problem since. If you want to crawl with it, 4 wheel steer is a must. The difference is awesome.

[@TomleyRC]

Sounds awesome 😎

[@AUSMarkP]

Great video, I ended up grabbing the RGT Rock Hammer which luckily has a seperate esc and receiver. My son absolutely loves this thing it goes everywhere!

[@TomleyRC]

Good to know 😎👌

[@heady2008]

+1 on the Hobbywing Fusion. I have two 1800kv versions installed in my crawlers with another one on the way.

[@NoLimitRC87]

That was priceless 🤣 couldn't of picked a muckier time to be a runaway 😂😂😂

[@TomleyRC]

Haha... I know!

[@George.T.83]

I love mud. Tomley make a video that shows how to clean your rc car after mud. That's the only think that stops me of driving in the mud 😁

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, one coming soon

[@TheRChobstar]

I started this hobby because of tomleyrc, and even trying to start a youtube channel at the moment, only 2 videos for the moment but i am having a blast doing it 🤙🤟👊 thx tomley 👊🤟🤙

[@TomleyRC]

Good to hear dude... 😎👌

[@nickrobertson2450]

Brilliant! Top video Tomley! One of your best for sure. Great commentary! Looks like you were have awesome fun!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Nick.. it was a fun morning out 😎

[@miketoovey7182]

What a good base to build on and it's cheap to. I did have a chuckle to myself when it went off on it's own 👍

[@Jerven88]

Have bought both FTX Texan and FTX Treka 3 after watching your videos, and think they both are great. Just as much fun as I have with my TRX4's and Axial Capra and Ryft. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work

[@zekesrc3285]

Looks like so much fun great video

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@beesod6412]

We've got a run away! that was hilarious, reminded me of nitros

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty impressive truck indeed, Tomley! 😃 Looks fantastic! Great mud bashing!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. You too

[@ArcticTechnology]

beautiful rc run!

[@ASC63Funky]

Thanks Tomley I enjoyed that

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Great video Phil! Props to you my dude for finding Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory!🍫🍩🍻🤣😂

[@TomleyRC]

Haha.... didn’t find Augustus Gloop though 🤣

[@derricksazrc3411]

What a capable little critter.. That a Fusion definitely will rock. Looks like there is enough room to throw in a waterproof receiver tray somewhere too.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes... will be an decent upgrade for sure!

[@TheRChobstar]

They look like so much fun 🤙🤙

[@PinoyRCDriver]

Cheap and durable ... nice review 👌

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you

[@DustyFingersRC]

That coped very well. That mud looked so sticky!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes not bad was it!

[@rcworxshop]

Yup, every time we go out with all the top name crawlers, my lad takes his mauler and takes us all on lol

[@meracetrack]

Loving your videos watching day and night at the moment. Just getting into crawling and built a decent track for my Absima landi definitely going to buy an Ftx mauler after watching your videos. Brilliant. Mark udell

[@thibster5590]

It deserves an upgrade after the show it put on.👍😃

[@TomleyRC]

Yes 👍

[@markknight4687]

Ordered one lol coming Monday!!!! 👍bring on the mud 😬

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome 😎

[@ajsadlergaming4914]

I highly recommend at least a hobbyWing 1080 and some deepwood tyres. It's what I have in mine and it goes absolutely anywhere I point it. Be interested to see how a fusion does in it

[@TomleyRC]

Sounds good 😎🤟

[@triple_AAAs]

@@TomleyRC is it waterproof ftx mauler??

[@ChiefRickyRC]

And me ! Mud excellence!

[@alanrixson4949]

Well that just showed how you can have some fun the way your supposed to with an rc mud mud glorious mud nothing quite like it for crawling and fun 🤣👍😎

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah... was good fun! A very muddy day though!

Grate vid bro keep up the good work and can’t wait to see what u review next

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Josh

[@joshellerton2184]

@@TomleyRC no worries bro and I think I am going to get a arrma what one would u recommend for bashing and speed and what battery

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

This video just confirms my decision to get one of these for my next rig. Like the 25kg servo as well... Be interesting to see the hobby wing fusion setup in it, shows how good the chassis setup is that the only issue you have had is due to the mud abuse the rig powered through. Must admit may try and track down a Rock Hammer body, as i like the blue shell they do on that, but for the money to be in your top 10, possibly top 5 is a major recommendation....

[@jeremymiller2340]

I love the looks of that, it has them loud graphics, totally dig it, side bar I betting them rims were not taped 🤣 (I had too) Great fun my friend!!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Certainly looks cool 😎

[@O.L.D_RC]

Not bad, considering. It's funny, the entire time I was thinking how good it would do with a Fusion. I love it in my ROC Willys. Might be a future bomber. Cheers

[@christiansrcs7789]

Hahahhahaha I love driving in mud!!!!!!

[@TomleyRC]

😎👌

[@stuartmcnamara9610]

I think the Mauler looks fantastic! I really wish you could buy them as a roller.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes that would be good

[@joshellerton2184]

I would love the lc racing buggy cause the quality and how able it is for speed runs and bashing lol

[@mikewright84]

Love the mud! I run UK RC Mud Bogging, really need to get out with the RC's but also like you I have a career and family and they have come 1st recently! Need my rc fix big time...bring on the mud! Great vid. Be cool to see you build a mud truck like my FTX outback fury based rig, 3300kv brushless, 3S, custom traxxas revo gears, axial slipper clutch...its a riot :)

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah... Mud truck for the winter I think 😎👌

[@Lee.gRC27]

I love my mauler , I put a scx10 gearbox with drag brake in it for a tighter turning circle , hobbywing wp1080 esc , reedy radon2 16t motor , its well worth the price, I cut some pieces out of my tyres and they get better the more I use it

[@TomleyRC]

Sounds like a decent truck you’ve made!

[@krelakuma]

I've gotta load of bashers and really want to try a crawler, was going to get an axial scx 24 to start off with but I'm really beginning to think of getting one of these instead!

[@deving.2943]

Oh these Rock Bouncers are fast and amazing, I have a little bit better one than this I have the red Axial Capra, and that thing is crazy fast, Durable, and Flexible!? But this is a pretty good Rock Bouncer to start out with, for a beginner getting into the rock Bouncer side of the Hobby. I do recommend for more speed if you do get this or the Capra, you should Run it on a 3s Lipo for more speed and power!?

[@stevemdelacruz5602]

I would go with the 10 scale easier to upgrade and wrk on..the scx24 small but capable

[@deving.2943]

@@stevemdelacruz5602 See I agree with you that’s why all my cars are 1/10 scale, a lot easier to work on than the little 1/24 scale cars!?

[@krelakuma]

@@deving.2943 ill definitely try it on 3s if I do get one, I've got 3s lipos as I have a Typhon 3s. I have an outcast 8s, an xmaxx, two traxxas bigfoots and a kyosho inferno neo 2.0. Been really fancying trying a crawler out for ages

[@wordreet]

Oh I see! From the thumbnail, I thought it was MADE from mud!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤔

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@yo2748]

Great video nice and easy watching👍 going to need some for mud to stop that beast 🙌 One quick question I've got a wpl c34 and taken it fro mud and water and what not but a thew days later took it up a loose dir hill and the motor would just rev up but once it's on the ground it like it's lost all its torque and won't turn the wheels just rev... I'm going to try the battery see if it turns on but if u could give me a idea o a thew of what that could be I would be very grateful

[@TomleyRC]

Might have got some mud on the motor. Take it out and run the motor in a cup of clean water for a few minutes. Might work?

[@yo2748]

Haha

[@drroomba5045]

Bloody good !!!

[@ChiefRickyRC]

I want that that rc Crasher (crawler and basher) yea I just did that 🎤 lol it does have character! Thats special

[@rcchallenge8626]

The fusion system is a little bit over kill on a rig that doesn’t cost much more than the system 😂 maybe the trusty 1080 & Holmes hobby trail master at less than half the price would be a better certainly more affordable option for the Mauler. They are great rigs my lad runs 1 and it goes every where I would suggest you 180 the motor & gearbox to help with the torque twist then reposition the battery tray or just make shorter and run a smaller battery for when you’ve changed wheels,tyres & want to go climbing. Great vid yet again thank you 🙏

[@deving.2943]

Hey Tomley Can you help me decide on which RC to go for next, I really like the TRX4 Sport, but I also do like the Nitro Slash, but it’s a hard decision, I have never owned a Trail Truck, and I have never owned or Tried out a Nitro. So I need your help please and thank you, and see which one you think would be a better choice for me?! Thank you, Devin.

[@TomleyRC]

TRX4 Sport is a good choice. I don’t like Nitros... to messy for me

[@deving.2943]

@@TomleyRC Also will the EcoPower 640T be a good replacement Servo? It’s only $30 in US dollars?! Thanks Tomley?

[@rcaddictionqld1920]

Have you got a link for that fusion motor esc combo

[@TomleyRC]

Most hobby shops have them mate

[@Nickwillfixit]

LOL I have had petrol and nitro runaways as when I first started there were no failsafe's let alone dedicated programable kill switch's. I have never been a fan of the ESC/Receiver combo's for just this reason one plays up you have to replace the lot, hopefully an motor/esc combo is more reliable.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes.. separate units for sure

[@triple_AAAs]

is it share same parts with rgt rock hammer??

[@shawnbyrnesrccrawlersrccra2911]

There a good rc for the money i have one as well ... they go more places then my axial and red cat crawlers... the axial scx 10 gear box fits in them as well.. alot of other parts fit them as well of other name brand crawlers .....

[@FingswithFrankie]

I think I am just about to grab 2 of these, one for me and one for my son. Is the ESC 3s capable or did you just stick 3s in for a laugh?

[@TomleyRC]

Seemed okay on 3s… it was only because of the Mud that it died 👍

[@FingswithFrankie]

@@TomleyRC It's arrived and it really is amazing value for the money. Unfortunately mine appears to have a twisted cage, it's half inch higher on one side, I've tried adjusting the mounts but I think the plastic cage is too warped. Hopefully Modelsport sort it out,my son was a bit disappointed.

[@ctreviews56]

FTX are a decent budget brand, ive got the outback 2 (slightly modded) but its a decent truck stock

Yeah they are decent 😎

I think paddle tires in mud will do the job much easier. You can carry them and when you want to crawl change to crawl tires. Is my thinking.
