Willys Jeep crawler is so scale - Rochobby MB Scaler review

[@Accessories2theTime]

The pattern for the wheels was made that way specifically on the jeep so that you could not tell from its tracks which direction it was heading or coming from. It was a tactical tire. That is why the tread is non directional

[@RCReviewChannel]

great intel

[@Accessories2theTime]

@@RCReviewChannel love your in depth look at rc. Keep it up.

[@beyond1957]

Thank you

[@P_double_H]

You could always know where it was heading by checking the patterns left by the front vs the ones left by the rear tires.

[@mikefly562]

I have this Jeep and its amazing, and the travel case is awesome and I've taken the jeep on trips with me and fits perfectly in airplane overhead bins. Its nice having an RC vehicle that I can travel with on planes. Its so scale and detailed too.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Totally agree!

[@cesars7860]

What about the lipo? Any problems getting it on the plane?

[@BlvlWmpower]

I like the owner of RocHobby, because he really is a perfectionist for engineering, detail, but also designed to take some hard rolls down rocks and have durability.

[@jacquelineroyer4745]

I would say that car is probably the most scale military car/jeep I’ve ever seen

[@DaveStarr4]

I have 2 of these they are so cool and the detail is outstanding.........unfortunatly for me I forgot to set my throttle and as a result broke the steering hub on one........that was real smart...duh......now I will have to fix it.........it is a good thing that the parts are available on their website..................great buy...........very nicely made...........and to this guy........sorry about the earlier comment posted which was deleted the error was on my behalf for forgetting to set the throttle..........was to excited about playing with my jeep........my apologize

[@steved2870]

Managed to get this in Australia and is my fav scale RC by far. Just has it all. Every time I take this out and others see it in action it gets the most questions and responses over any of the others. This truck makes me want to slow down and really enjoy the scale. Huge potential if your into painting, modding, but sweet as it comes out of the box. Interested in what comes next from these guys in this scale size. Huge fan. Huge.

This guy is great. RC Review can not be bought! Your opinion matters. Thanks for the non bias advice.

[@sharkey9]

You did not install the wipers! How dare you! :) Awesome model, especially for the price. Not 100% scale like the windshield, suspension and seat height but who cares anyway. My pros and cons so far: Tires have so much grip, when I try to push it sideways sitting on my desk it rolls over more likely than moving. Drivetrain is very smooth, motor has a lot of punch. Modulation is super good, thanks to the Hobbywing ESC it comes with. You noticed it being jumpy in reverse - that's the stock radio. I changed mine to Flysky and it's much better now. Good drag brake (50% fixed). The details of course. Wheel weight. Easy to install tail and indicator lights in the back. Capability and suspension (see cons). Price. Cons: Body weight, but still kinda low CG because of its shape. Stock suspension. Shocks are sticky, you can see it in the running videos, lots of bumping around. What you have to do is rebuild them. Piston has sharp edges and small holes, shaft needs to be polished and O-rings have to be lubricated/greased. After rebuilding the shocks are super smooth and sag seems quite good now. Filled them with 50 oil. Routing of the battery lead to the ESC. I understand they did it because of the body shape but it is in a somewhat dangerous location when crawling. Have to think about new routing. Overall I'm totally blown away by this thing. Even if it ended as a shelf queen I'd have no regrets. Looking forward to your tips and mods, take care and happy holidays.

ROCHobby isn't new. They've been selling craptastic model planes for years now. I'm glad to see the price is falling to more realistic numbers for this Jeep. The scale details are great but I've been following other reviews. Sticking shocks and factory pre striped rod ends really aren't ok.

The shocks are perfectly fine - if you rebuild them correctly. Bit of filing sharp edges, polishing shaft and outlet and making sure the O-rings are greased well, my shocks are working perfectly for weeks now.

Most of the parts for sale at AsiaTees and Banggood are "cosmetic" pieces (soft top, grab handles, etc.) - very limited offering of parts that would be required to repair breakage and wear/tear. Already searching for replacement driveshafts and front bumper. Check it out before you purchase - this could end up be an orphan RC.

Francis I’ve subscribed to your channel for quite a while, look forward to your reviews and really enjoy your content. I have had the ROC Hobby Jeep for a few months and think it’s great fun, but not a long term durable runner out of the box, but as an experienced RC’r I can keep it running. However, I do feel you have mislead some viewers by saying that replacement parts are readily available for this Jeep through Banggood and AsiaTees - what they have available are primarily cosmetic pieces with very few parts available for running gear, chassis, etc. While parts from other brands can be modified or adapted by many enthusiasts, if someone is new to the hobby they are going to be disappointed when something breaks and they can’t fix it because of parts availability and potentially walk away from the hobby in frustration. I think you should look better at support options in the future before making those type of statements - people rely on you for accurate info.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on Mirage Bob, point taken. I'm not sure when I said though that "replacement parts are readily available". I checked the video and did not say anything. On a previous comment, I checked those sites and saw some parts and linked to them.
