Top 10 Reasons why rc crawling is the best hobby EVER!

[@christroccoli9916]

Crawling is addicting. My brother and co-worker told me I was stupid for buying a truck that goes so slow. Fast forward 1 year they each have 3 crawlers!!! Love the channel, be well. You def touched on all the important elements of this segment of RC.

[@RCReviewChannel]

great story

[@old-rcplane-phart]

A buddy of mine got me 2 crawling (again, 3rd try!) & hes been a crawler dude as long as Ive known him. 3 months after, redcat gen8 axe (the beginning), gen8, capra kit (& another capra kit I built for another friend I got n2 crawling who buying a scx10 3), 8th scale rockslide (shelf queen since parts r not available anymore), & today I ordered my new bully 2 rtr. YIKES!!!!!

[@simonkubacki9823]

I love how excited you are, it’s infectious.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Happens in real life. Most folks I meet or hang out with reflect my attitude and tone. So when I observe most folks are grumpy that day... it's usually me. :)

[@Marco_Vulpine]

The Mr. Miyagi of the RC Crawling Dojo, keep it up man, love the vids and your enthusiasm.

[@rcrockpiles9535]

He’s definitely a great guy for the Hobby and gives great pointers. Thanks Mr Miyagi wax on wax off👍

[@georgschmidt1]

I have a couple of more reasons: it serves all needs for human desire… something theoretical (all the math around with gearing, weight distribution, watching youtoube etc.), something practical (soldering, screwing, mechanics and electronics), fun as you said, a challenge (skills, improving over time, getting more control) and you can have an evolution by spending money or DYI… The community aspect comes on top that… The good thing is that the companies realized that and they provide quality for money. It feels good! It is great FUN!

[@jacksrccars347]

It's channels like this that got me into RC crawling.

[@shaunsanford2253]

So many people think its a foolish hobby until you take them out and give them a spare rig and they get hooked! Its just fun.

[@rkd350z]

One of reason I have multiple rig is to get my friends to try. Usually it only takes 15 min to get them to smile like a kid hahaha

[@needtau4138]

I love the fact that each upgrade you do can drastically change the capability which is so rewarding to see after building it up. To see it crawl over something it couldn't before after a quick swap of the tire or change in weight is so satisfying.

[@rkd350z]

I’m always in a awe after the mod. Haha

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

I am a senior citizen and I have been a motorcycle guy since I was 13 years old. My disability made motorcycles impossible so I decided to get an rc car. I went for speed of course because that is what I have always done. Then I came across this channel and this video and I got interested. Well a few weeks ago I purchased a element enduro sendaro after watching rc review videos. And I have to say everything in this video is spot on!! I am having a blast. I don’t have much natural rock where I live but I have a rock pit in my backyard that is plenty challenging. My bank account is going down. I can’t stop buying up grades lol. Thanks for inspiring me to check out this sport. Loving it.

[@steveryder6733]

I always had the fastest cars and then finally I bought my first crawler and now I'm so into it. Totally hooked and agree there is nothing else quite like it in the rc hobby. Your rigs become your trail buddies and before you know it, your throwing everything at them from off the shelf.

[@oyeahboii]

Hope to see more people join the hobby. I find the trailing/crawling community more friendly than competitive RC racing. More passionate with the hobby too. As always, another quality video! Keep it up!

[@MtbrVideos]

Friendly and passionate. #rclife

[@Evan_Moore61]

Joshua Lazo There is nothing that compares to the RC crawling community. Tips and tricks, recommendations, everything gets shared because we are all here to have fun, not play tricks and games to get an edge. The RC crawling community could be described as Canadian; Friendly and always willing to help out.

[@doug148877]

From race cars to golf clubs.....everyone has fun stuff to play with....but personally I feel like I get more smiles per dollar in RC compared to anything else! Good job on the vids! Love the positivity!

[@douglasparnell3224]

I think you should add number 11, people like yourself that post so much info for two reasons . You love rc crawling and you love to share and help others. Thanks so much

[@runnerbaba]

yes thank you!

[@michaelchaplin866]

i’ve been watching your channel for a year or so now and i must say, it is one of the most authentic channels on youtube. No BS, no hype, no spilling cuts or zoom ins every 5b second to that so many do to keep people attention. Just honest chat. Thanks for this.

[@gogotrololo]

What I love about RC is that despite the feeling like you are a weirdo who spends too much on toy cars.... the minute you take it out, every person who sees you is interested, chats you up, checks it out, and so on and so forth. Even people who don't care about cars or toys or whatever seem to be drawn to these little things. It helps you get past the superficial "hows the weather" questions, and gets people to open up into actual meaningful conversation. It's being able to break the ice with a simple mechanical pet that draws me in, but also i love the mechanical part of the hobby and driving these things.

[@ROCKRATADVENTURETEAM]

I enjoy building for myself and others, Nephews, Brother-in-law, Son, and anyone who wants to be part of the fun. It has been tough lately with the restrictions, but I'm sure we will get our crawling time in soon! If not I will run out of space to store all of the builds due to staying inside and building for so long...I currently have 47 Hobby RC's stored to date. 1-plane, 3-boats, 2-Quad copters, 3-tanks, 2-Bull dozers, 1-articulated front loader, 1-tracked skid loader, 2-drag cars, 4-bashers, 1-quad bike, 1-trike, 2-off road buggies, 1-snow cat, 1-1/6 scale SBR, 2-1/24 scale crawlers, 3-jeeps, 1-half track, 5-Army trucks, 1-military front loader, 1-military road grader, 6-1/10 scale crawlers, 2-desert trucks, 1-drift truck, and that does not include about another 20+ toy grade RC's for the Grand kids and other kids that live near me. I need to get out and follow your lead and start CRAWLING AGAIN !!! It might even save me some money :)

[@RCReviewChannel]

Heck yeah!! Addicted like us.

[@Dokroc78]

You forgot one, #11. Gets you into scale photography and video. One of my favorite parts of trailing is finding that perfect spot to snap a realistic scale pic to try and fool your buddies. Your Komodo video convinced me to by the GS02 TS chassis kit. Very nice build great quality. Got a Power wagon body for it, cant wait to finish up and get it out on the trail. Thanks.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Very true!

[@ti0chema]

Me and my 12y son enjoy and love RC trail trucking. We spend hours on the weekends in the woods worrying only on how to get to the top of a Rocky Mountain or how to get across creeks.No doubt it is the best Hobby ever! Thanks for your channel.

[@InvisiMan2006]

Trail crawling has been the ONLY reason why I've been motivated to step outside during the snowy, cold winter! LOL

[@matthewwhitby5368]

It truly is the best hobby,always loved it thoughout my childhood and 34 now and just got in the RC hobby,it has really brightened my life up

[@HBFTimmahh]

RC Crawling. All the Thrills, all the Spills, but none of the Hospital Bills. Just an RC Addiction that costs about the same. lol

[@ROCKRATADVENTURETEAM]

I still try to do both. I now take the RC trucks in the woods when we go wheeling. I would agree with you on your thoughts, much less pain, but at least the same costs. Well the costs could be cut back, but where's the fun in that :) Big toys for big boys or girls! RC budget: kids grew up and moved out.

[@ColoradoStreaming]

This is actually what got me into RC again. I grew up doing pretty dangerous stuff like skiing and biking but have a family now. I get the same rush pushing my crawler on a high consequence technical line but without having to worry about missing work and hospital bills if something goes wrong.

[@rccrawlerworld]

Nice stuff. I am in love with crawling. Thanks to you I bought a Redcat Gen8. Having an awesome time.

[@MtbrVideos]

That's the best compliment I hear, "I started because of you..."

[@mb-ub7ob]

Hi Francis. I have always been into cars and trucks and always wanted to own and build my own tough truck to do real offroading in the boondocks. This hobby has allowed me to do so albeit on a tenth scale both in size and price by not spending for a "full sized toy" that I will have to pay someone to build and set up and for me to drive once a month at most. I really love this hobby because it is a combination of at least 6 diifferent pastimes and activities i have always wanted to do or enjoy doing all rolled into one hobby that is called Scale RC Crawling: 1. RC kit assembly/building/tuning/upgrading/ set up/testing 2. Scale modeling/fabrication/detailing/creativity flex points 3. RC Collecting/unique project builds 4. Bargain hunting 5. Going oudoors/roadtrips 6. Driving/playing/bashing/trailing I truly enjoy watching your channel and admire your passion and positivity for the hobby. Keep up the great work and continue to inspire more into the hobby

[@RCReviewChannel]

really appreciate your words and insight there bud. So true on the 1:1 trucks. I have a Tacoma and a 4runner and I cringe at paying $10k to mod it and pay someone to install. And then I'll be to scared once a month to damage it on the rocks.

[@bongofury3176]

I've been crawling the Derbyshire Peak District for more than 15 years now. So much fun. Curbar Edge, Black Rocks, Robin Hood's Stride, Stanage Edge etc. I once did a 7 mile trail up and over Kinder Scout (4 batteries). Really confuses people when they see the truck before they see the driver ! My worst crash was a 100m steep downhill cartwheel at Wingather Rocks - my Gmade R1 had no damage at all. I have almost every form of RC - boats, fast cars, bashers, drift cars, quads, planes, fan boats, helicopters and I can honestly say rock crawling a truck you have built is the best of all. Ths satisfaction of beating an impossible rock through skill is immense. Get crawling folks.

[@morris4069]

Used to race touring cars both nitro and electric. Worked at the local hobby shop after work just for fun. The one question every person behind the car counter and racers hate is “how fast does it go?”. Every bubba that can barely walk n chew gun at the same time wants the fastest thing they can break in 5min, then brings it back saying it’s junk, or they want a monster truck that can drag race their buddies street car. Explaining to them that everything is basically faster than they can really drive in it’s element goes over their heads. Hell I still have fun carpet racing $100 spec cars, they are plenty fast for racing indoors. Getting a hand full of good drivers running the same thing is some good times. With the lipo batteries and brushless motors the world of R/C is totally different from my racing days! Just getting back to my R/C cars I really like the crawlers I saw the trx4 build kit and had to have it. As a kid my family used to trail ride and later raced 4wd, an old Scout II, soon I’ll be making a hard body with a 1/0th scale 3D print of myself as the driver. Crawlers are the best for just fooling around out side, no worries of letting kids drive your rig like you do with faster ones.

[@Glenn.J]

Great video. I am a rc flyer, and i just wanted a rig to experience fpv on rc cars, and now i am hooked to crawling like crazy, and i am loving it. Compared to RC flying quads/helis this is soooooooooo relaxing and peaceful.

[@jeffsrcchannel2191]

You got me into RC crawlers Francis. Thanks so much for all you do. #1 on KZbin.

[@francoismarais4411]

Thank you for a great channel Francis and video. I bought my first crawler a week ago - TRX-4 Sport Kit based on your reviews + HW 1080. Love the build and got the kids involved along the way. This has been my second rc purchase and can see a few more in the future :).

[@travissierra21]

When I go out with my Everest GEN seven which has been totally modified and modeled right down to the firewood on the rock and camping gear winch off-road lights etc. sound it takes me back to when I lived in Montana and have the real thing. But the difference between this and the real thing is a lot of $$$$$.I try to drive mine in a realistic manner slowly and try not to do the impossible reflecting back on the real thing. you’re absolutely right it gets you out hiking around how did the nature sometimes I bring my lunch with me or some refreshments it’s always quite enjoyable. When at home I like to put it in the shop and get it up on the rock and work on it. Maybe fix something that broke or add something on that I have been thinking about or some other modification. I recently got a axle 1/24 scale jeep wrangler rubicon. A lot of my decision in purchasing this very small micro crawler was from watching your video your review! It has proven to be quite capable and very mobile. Thank you once again for your very informative educationalAnd stimulating videos.

[@mark.a.estrecho]

I can't agree more sir! I just started RC crawling a month ago, and man! I'm fully hooked into it! I now have two 1:10 crawler, one 1:10 drifter, one 1:12 crawler, one 1:16 crawler and one 1:16 basher and looking to get more 1:10 crawler in the next few weeks or so! Keep on uploading videos and you rock sir! RC is life! ❤️❤️❤️

What a great video, thanks! It's a joy getting out there with my 9 and 7 year old boys. You really hit the nail on the head with the reward factor when navigating an obstacle successfully, and even more so when I watch my boys do that, pure joy. Thank you for your channel and content, especially during these stressful times. Your presenting style is also very therapeutic :-)

[@blizzardrc7024]

The thing I love about scale trail crawling is i get to use the same trails that I mountain bike and hike with my dog on . It’s such an awesome hobby!! I come from a model railroad back ground. I couldn’t afford to get into rc cars as a kid . I try to run my trail trucks as often as I can. It’s great therapy to forget about our problems and just have fun!! People are always so amazed at how realistic the trucks look and drive!!! I like to think that I can inspire someone to get into this great hobby when they see me driving my truck out on the trails. Thank you for the great vids and being an inspiration to me!! 👍😊

[@zodwraith5745]

The absolute beauty of RC crawling... As someone that has a lot of family that drives hundreds of miles to go 1:1 crawling, I can enjoy this in my own back yard, driving over the neighbor's rocks, taking my crawler for a walk with my SO (she loves it), climbing curbs, driving through THAT GUY'S unmowed lawn. I'm now in the Serengeti. Crawling puts us in the _scale_ side of it.

I LOVE crawling. $500 for my TRX4 defender is a deal when all my purchases are upgrades, not fixing broken shit. Maybe I'm old, but I've learned to appreciate value vs going stupid fast to impress someone. (Still have my brushless 4c Slash for that) But nowadays it's not what am I taking out?

[@Raguvian]

Great video! I think in order to be unbiased, you should do a "top 10 reasons why RC crawling sucks" video. I'll start: 1. Everyone thinks you're dumb for spending so much money on "toy cars" 2. You think it only costs $200-300 until you get the upgrade bug and then are into your kit for $1000+ 3. People think you're being mean when you don't want to let their kids drive your $1000+ "toy car" 4. The right amount of RC crawlers to have is the amount you have plus 1 (neverending money pit) 5. It still hurts when you see your $1000+ crawler roll down a hill

[@dbrandhout9800]

Start racing and you discover the real endless moneypit.. my old scx10 last for 8 years and still its fun to drive. Nevermind other people. Yes its toy and yes you can go F*ck yourself and let me be excitement.

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Been in the hobby for a bit now, wanted a hobby for the family to interact and have fun together and get exercise so the wife could lose weight without me saying she needed to. The nicest way possible without hurting her feelings. I got in the hobby never planning on spending this kind of money. I know it’s not a lot but I spend minimum of a $1000a month easily and the wife said she doesn’t care(she sees how excited I get) so always working on builds and never post stuff on my channel. You honestly covered ever single good point to make about this beautiful hobby we love so much. I look forward to seeing you and a few other channels daily videos.👍👍👍 absolutely love what you do for our Hobby.

Good day Frances, I started with RC planes. It was very stressful. The I went to racing RC trucks. Not as stressful but very competitive at times. I am there for the fun of it. Then I was introduced to crawling. I was hooked the very first time. Still trying to get my daughter into it. Maybe someday. Love the channel. I have watched from its start. It has come a long way since then. Keep up the good work.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on. We have followed the same path. For fast cars, my biggest problem was I only maxed out my fun when there was a track to drive on. And we don't have a loto of tracks.

[@montesamapping]

[@mikefly562]

Another nice thing about RC crawling, is that its very likely your vehicle will come home with you in one piece. I also fly RC airplanes, and it does not take much for a $500 plane to become rubbish after a crash. RC Crawler speeds tend to be really slow, thus most damage is cosmetic and easily repairable, plus RC crawlers tend to be be built very strong and can take lots of abuse. I have many crawlers, and I love adding scale details, and even as shelf queens, they always look fantastic on display.

Last weekend, I spent hours on my bicycle, keeping an eye out for new places to run my RCs. I found a cool spot, and headed back later with my trucks. Then, I ran my trucks, and made a KZbin video. So, I got exercise, spent time outside, discovered new parts of my area, and had fun. That's a win. Full size wheeling is fun, but there are no areas where I can legally do that local to me, and it is expensive. So, RC gives me much of the thrill, with less travel time, and less money.

Every day at lunch they would take the drift cars out in the parking lot across the street and I would go out with them occasionally. Its remarkable how refreshed and relaxed you are even after 45 min from doing something so fun and entertaining. They also had a pile of old PCs they would run the crawler on in the basement lol.

Best Channel ever! you are my favorite KZbin personality. Keep up the brilliant work

[@RCReviewChannel]

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate that. Not easy to come up with content but I get inspired sometimes. :)

[@feisalsrcadventures7309]

Dude you are absolutely right! I got my new colleagues at the office excited about this and we are starting a social club! You could find us on the playlist for Miri Crawlers Guild. Starting to build up the arsenal of rigs slowly but surely.

[@greenerfields3876]

Thanks for this top 10, very encouraging in many ways..! Like your channel

Amain finally got the TRX4 Sport builders kit back in stock so I bought one this morning and it's my first crawler. Never thought I'd be interested in them because they are slow but I've caught the bug since I haven't been able to race my Tekno buggies in weeks.

[@francoismarais4411]

I bought mine a week ago and completed the build yesterday :) Just a note - the diff spool bearings may be incorrect. This seems to be a common issue with these kits. First crawler and loving it. Got the HW 1080 to set the speed for my kids - awesome ESC.

I don’t think it could have been said any better! Great vid.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Appreciate it! That's a nice compliment. The members on our Facebook RC Review group helped a bit.

[@JerseyStyle7]

Love my Crawlers👍👍👍

[@joespafford6499]

Awesome and absolutely correct. You guys rock

[@bluesmanDon]

I love being able to build a vehicle I could only dream about in a 1:1 version and not having to worry about how I’m gonna get to work on Monday if I wreck it. My crawlers also don’t break before the battery dies like my fast cars do.

[@RCReviewChannel]

two great points right there.

[@dretech]

I finally got my Axial SCX24s - I am having fun with my kids everyday.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right? Easy to make connections.

[@baeschler]

Thanks, Francis. I have upgraded several of my builds based upon your recommendations. My Gen 8 is way better, my Enduro Sendero is way better and you have given me incredible ideas for my Traxxas build. Thank you. Greetings from Montana. Love this channel!!!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great to hear! People think I'm biased or a hater for identifying weaknesses or identifying upgrades. But a critical, enthusiastic eye is a lot more helpful to folks that rave fanboi reviews.

[@baeschler]

@@RCReviewChannel I respect your opinions 100%. You have never led me in the wrong direction. Keep up the good work. Love the channel.

[@kevingoodrich3050]
