Hi Tom could you maybe get your hands on the YiKong tb7? Would move to see an english video on it.

[@M14armorer]

Yeah man I’d love to see you review some Yi Kong RCs! Especially the DF7 V2!

[@AImikyAIr]

Hi Tom, question about the speed. Is there a way to get the speed a bit more up? So its also speed fun? I Didnt find much vid about upgrading this miller for some extra speed. Im thinking about getting this one but I also want a bit more speed.

[@MagnifiedGiant]

I really missed the sound effect when the "Hand" came in,,,

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah.. I did it to see how many would comment 😅

[@rrrosengren]

We need a re-upload!

Re-upload...

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Yep, the trombone "makes it "

[@Del350K4]

I like it! Though it's a shame that RC4WD didn't make the battery compartment a little bigger, I think that is compensated for by the wealth of features. I was very impressed by the self-spawning rear view mirror feature ( see it in action @ 11:00), and think other manufacturers could do well to take note.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… yes, it was a hidden feature on channel 7 of the transmitter 😁

[@Del350K4]

@@TomleyRC Ha ha - that was an excellent reply, Phil!

[@Ayrton_Groesbeck]

So many new releases in rc just this week alone. I am still excited for this!

[@reneecorsaro7335]

- Thankyou for your "thorough" reviews, giving the speed in 1st & 2nd gear also !!! 👌💯😁

[@MangoJim90]

Seems like a great solid axles all-rounder...love this kind of rc's, very suitable for our terrain👍💯🤩💪

[@ChrisKnowlesTube]

I love the scale king of the hammers look. All the locking diffs and 2 speed are great. Just a little slow out the box. Does look amazing though

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, it’s got some nice details, and for $499 I think it’s a decent price

[@FaustKnight]

Absolutely gorgeous and I almost pulled the trigger when I saw the announcement, but a few things hold me back. I don't need cheap electronics and a sensorless motor that ill have to rip out and replace anyway adding to cost and on something thats supposed to be super scale, I want a CMS option even if it is inferior performance wise.

[@Goopy_Joe]

Ikr, they should’ve put a crawler sensored brushless motor And it would have been a HUGE hit Especially because it would beat the TRX-4 which last time i checked, is the best crawler platform as of right now

[@FaustKnight]

@@Goopy_Joe Guess I'll wait till people eventually start parting them out on fleabay.

[@roblowrie1969]

I was a bit underwhelmed at the start of this, but it definitely redeemed itself on 3s. That's really nice. 😎👍🏻

[@arkyrc]

My two favorite RC's! Great looking Ultima!

[@creekcreeperrc7972]

Glad you are reviewing this! Seeing as RC review did a less than good job of showing it's negatives and only highlighted the positives... per usual.

[@soob99]

Very much like a modern day Axial Bomber, this. Hopefully it’ll get the aftermarket support the Bomber had/has and become a hell of a platform. Definitely interested in this one!

[@matthewcutler4082]

Loved the battery install bit 🤣

[@andrewmagro7703]

My Cousin's Husband In MALTA race these type of off road Rock Racers and they go all over Europe and the US i think one of the races is called King Of Hammers or something like KOP anyhow his name is Neville Cianter.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

1st, boom!

[@sTuPiDiScOoL_]

The sound of the speed on the 3s speed run is phenomenal engine is working overtime to get the blistering speed 😆🤣🤣 hope your good brother 🏆💯💚👊

[@Stempy]

Looks like a good compromise for people stuck between offroad/basher and a crawler.

[@Dave-H]

That's Eric Miller from Ultra4 racing. Look up King of the Hammers as one of the toughest races ever. He has won this race.

[@kashmurray1199]

Neat truck. Some potential there.

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

Thats a great transmitter. Great for rear steering and stuff with 5&6 on dials.

[@dangrady2938]

Such a nice looking beast of a car

Love the look of this

[@dexterbeattie7884]

Impressive!

Great 1st attempt by RC4WD. I think I'll hold off.

Man your channel is awesome. Your editing it top notch.

[@holden8239]

Looks great. Love all the scale detail

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, certainly got plenty of scale

[@Chunky246]

From a scale look it looks cool. Seems to be a better crawler than a rock racer.

[@Sparroh]

You’re videos are fun, you’re a riot

[@The-Warm-voice1359]

Really perfect 👏😊

[@HazardousMunkee]

Can you do a second video on upgrades and how to make it better? I really want to get this thing but have some doubts

[@Trotter13]

Been waiting for a proper KOH style kit forever. I thought the Gmade GOM would be it but it didn't have the remote diffs. I'm buying.

[@MrDonofrie]

Sweet looking rig. Great video as always. Theres a good reason you are listed as a comedian lol.

[@daytonarob-rc4402]

Ahhhhh! I want it!!!

[@mattster197]

ok reminds me of an Axial ride, RC4WD always chasing them but I just don't get into the crawling aspect of it. the locking and unlocking of diffs and dig and all that.

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

Picked up on brand new, on a trade. Pretty AWSOME details.

[@PhilipCockram]

Great review . Nice truck . The yellow and black looks cool 😎

[@jacqueslandry47]

4:37 I know someone who can do it!..Don't give up Grasshopper, I believe in you!

Gday the car looks so cool, your vids make my day 😅

[@mikewinans9953]

Thing looks great

[@TomleyRC]

Agree

[@CornholioMcGeeRC]

Ok Phil where’s the trombone sound effect ?!? That’s the only reason I watch your channel….. Just kidding of course but damn man come on!! I always watch all your videos sound effects or not you gotta be my favorite British KZbinr Gavin is a close 2nd

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… left it out just to see all the comments 😅

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Incredible!

[@markcole6475]

Definitely a better crawler than a basher , seems a bit tippy at speed! Great review and I’m digging the look and scale….almost reminds me of the vanquish ripper!

[@JustLivingLife2222]

It's a nice little RC but that price!? 😱

[@BrendonakaShanks]

I do kinda like this machine. If I didn't have enough rc projects, I'd buy this. Lol

[@redpot6684]

My man, you know how I like my trombone sound when the pointer finger comes out. Lol bring it back! In an rc related topic, the car looks nice, but the out if the box appeal is lacking with all the small mistakes. Have a gray day bud. Catch you on the flip. ( bring back the trombone) 😉

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

So motor swap, 4s capable and a lighting rig (no indicators !) And this thing would be even more fun !

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… well, maybe just a slightly larger can motor with a few more Kv’s on 3s

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

@@TomleyRC true, this thing is so packed with features maybe they will listen to you and up the kv as stock....

Needs a copperhead 2400kv combo would be perfect. That's what I got in my bomber 56/20 gearing

[@casssrc]

Gday from Israel 😊

[@TomleyRC]

G’day 😊

[@TimsRcsurgery]

I like this!! Still a little “springy” for my liking… low gear is blisteringly fast!!! I’m surprised you could cope 😂

[@justinhaydocy490]

Definitely a Krawler designed to have a little bit more speed, not a basher now to speed runner. It belongs on the rocks only, which doesn’t surprise me from RC4WD Drive, because they only make crawlers😂

[@mikeclark1031]

No oil I'm the shocks in mine. But 200% on your reviews. Can't say I didn't know it might happen!!!

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome ride and review, Phil! 😃 It looks great indeed!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Br0rB]

That looks about as fast (slow) as my nearly stock Axial Wraith Spawn. That one is plenty fast to have fun on rocky terrain though. :)

[@evyankeller9500]

The front end looks like Mr. Dinkles from the movie Trolls

[@danieljackson443]

Mean buggy but its a 4 link in the rear to trail arms arm generally fixed at the diff and only move on the chassis

[@rrrccc1571]

Certainly different to the norm but good review content as always!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, maybe a sign of things to come!

[@wivlle]

Hahaha … The grill looks like ‘POOKA!’ YIKES 😳😳😳

[@jebrc]

Thats a sweet looking rig i may get one

[@slowboat_8651]

Mine is on the way, several day's before it was expected in stocks, so ready to get my hands on it and test it out, but also curious as to why no one has posted a side by side pic next to a 10th scale crawler... ..

[@tobiasbusch4961]

Without the Sound...it's not the same😌

[@isquish]

Aren't these the things that Sabine and Chris Harris raced on 'new' topgear a couple of years ago. It looked mental as a motor sport and if this is a scale version of that, it's a little tame but you've done a great review :)

[@mikehagquist5198]

2400 kv sensor combo would make it perfect

[@Xofroggy]

I dont need it. I dont need it, i dont neeed it.... I NEED IT!!!

[@Vaporfry]

While I enjoy all the review coverage, what I'm waiting on is the promised 3s BBX video. I'm particularly curious how that 770kv Castle motor handles it considering Castle only recommends 2s on that one.

[@stevejudkins6358]

Take my MONEY!

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

Hello. How long is the rock racer ??.?

[@opiesveiw266]

I feel it is a pretty good shot . Check out American U4 racing to comprehend the real deal , Miller is a good racer

[@RCNinja]

Another great review. Great video shots. Looks a bit like the FTX Mauler..

[@woutervanwijk4369]

"Left my bag open." That's what she said.

I have been waiting on one for about a month now

[@fernsolo]

It's so nice 👍

[@RCTrophyGame]

Nice!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonytuccillo6274]

Was expecting it to be a lot more than 500 us dollars. Not bad for what you get with all the scale details. I guess they cut cost with the electronics and the shock oil 😅 Seemed to do pretty decent though in its stock form 🙂

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, $499 is actually a really good price!

[@ThatDude7788]

Nice!

[@JustLivingLife2222]

Danny Hunyh will make something very interesting out of this.

[@ucitymetalhead]

Did arcade require any modding to fit?

[@shawnbrown6544]

I like it just needs more power

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

What is the over all length of this vehicle......

[@kalderwal7264]

Can you pleas review the new Arrma Grogon

[@stuartr8356]

I was really disappointed by the car for the first half of the vid, but then it struck me that it's like an Axial Wraith 1.9 with extra speed & crawling ability. So actually not a bad thing as a quality multi-purpose rig. In Axial terms, a cross between a Yeti & a Wraith.

[@DeanOhRc]

Anyone else see the magic mirror at 11/02 🤣🤣🤣

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… ta daaaaa

[@DustyFingersRC]

Great video! 👍🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude

[@BlackSeaRC]

A bit of a Gmade GOM style vehicle with full roll-cage structure. Is it really a RC4WD product or a JD Model product?

[@masimoplusje3099]

🙋🏻‍♂️ Hi Phil Hahaha 😄 I just take a nip from my coffee when there was that sound from the view miles a our buggy came by hahaha 🗣️💦 true story ☝🏽 I guess I say thank you again Phil 😄 sorry for my Inglis 💁🏻‍♂️ I'm from the Netherlands, one day I learn I hope

[@wheelsdownrc6348]

I thought it performed well, and as far as the scale looks go, I would love to just have it on the shelf on jackstands without the body panels💯🤙….

[@justins_toys]

Never really sure about rock racers, nether a crawler or a basher. Looks nice though!

[@TomleyRC]

Good for the scale fans 👌

[@scaleworksRC]

I think the non oil filled shocks is actually a plus for people who want to run their own weights in it, but what do I know. 🤷

[@pauldrumm6782]

What camera are you using for on board footage? Cheers

[@chiccorocker]

[disclaimer: yes I'm a bit of an RC4WD hater, as much as Phil is not a Traxxas fan, but I got enough cars from them to be disappointed with a reason] I want to like it and I just can't. RC4WD is quite pricey, but what you get is not better than one of those crawlers from Bangood or Aliexpress, except the latter have lights included! This thing has exactly the same price as a TRX4 in the USA, but the TRX4 comes with a much better design (sorry Phil, I know you don't like it, but it's pretty good) and tons of upgrades available. The battery tray is nonsense, doesn't even fit a standard battery, ok it goes at snail pace as it's a crawler anyway (spoiler: it's not a rock racer, it just looks like a rock racer), so you can use a super small battery, but if you fit a big one you keep going the whole day. The receiver box is not waterproof, while on any Traxxas it is. I would also expect the horns on the diff case for the locker would easily break with a hit, they are fairly exposed. RC4WD is overpriced for what they offer, they should either go up with the design and put a bit more care on the details or simply go cheaper on the level of the like such as FMS, RGT, HG, HB and the like. Or, if you don't want to go to direct from China and live in Europe, get an Absima Sherpa instead, such a cool car, 2 speed, diff locks, waterproof receiver box, magnetic body clips and lights (tons of lights).

[@Mike_and_Life]

That "racer" term is a little loose on this one. And no hand sound effect? Did it get lost in Canada?

[@RcTruckModel]

Amazing 🫠
