Where we bought it:
Purchased from AliExpress. No links, AliExpress changes their links too many times for me to post it here. I am not an affiliate of Yikong or AliExpress so you will need to look them up like I did😊

THE MOST ASKED QUESTION ON THE CHANNEL - "Where do you get the ramps from?
They were purchased from Toys R Us over 8 years ago. They are Ten Eighty Skate Ramps, the Kryptonics Edition. Came with the two ramps and a table top. I don't think you will be able to find it new but it may be available on the secondary markets.

Hi Neil! I love that kind of set up too, some of my very favorite vehicles to drive are set up like that. Independent in the front, solid axle with trailing arms or another setup in the rear. I love that almost out of control feeling that really forces you to drive it and get better at it. I bought the Wendigo builders kit for that reason. Crazy fun on 3s. That rig you have there looks like the same type of fun! I could tell just by watching I'd love it! You could go to 4s for more scale like handling but man it looks fun! I was happy to that RCGG revived his Camo X4 because I kept reminding him how much fun he had with it, and he was glad he did. It has that same setup too. 😄👍 Hope you are doing great brother 💯 🤜 🤛

[@ReadySetRC]

@riffraffsrc Hey Riff what's up brother, hope all is well. I've been seeing Tim running that Camo in the last few vids. Looks good. Spoiler alert, the next run was on 4s. I ran it with those Gens Ace Bashing packs. Gave me all the torque I needed and even the top end speed was good. I couldn't resist the ramps in that one either😆

[@AsurasWrath164]

The diff teeth are HUGE. Thats the reason its so loud. Love the diffs, almost 1:5 scale size in a 1:7 vehicle.

[@ReadySetRC]

@AsurasWrath164 Thanks for the info. I was thinking it needed some grease.

Hi my friend, thanks for making me aware of this super looking truck , I will buy this next February, I still have a few projects to finsih one being the Tekno SCT 410 2.0, Team Durango DNX408 and to come aftet Xmas the new Tekno MT410 V2, its always nice to see new rc products coming to the market .have a good weekend, still finding my feet here in Germany 🇩🇪,

[@ReadySetRC]

@MrRedcain Thank you for checking it out. That SCT410 2.0 is on my wish list. The MT410 2.0, I'm holding out hoping they come out with at MT48.

[@sparetimerc]

Hello ReadySet, I will say that the TB7 has a lot of torque to watch the back end sit down (but not to far) on take off is insane. It sounds a little like the HoBao Hyper MT Sport Plus in the gearing. It does rip in the grass, but you are correct It would do great in loose dirt you will see the rooster tail at least a foot in the air. Great first rip, can't wait to see you find a dirt area and let it go. Take care and best wishes to you and the family💯💯💯

[@ReadySetRC]

@sparetimerc Thanks Al for the kind words💪 I'm going to try and get this out on the trails during the holidays. Hopefully the snow holds back by then😊

[@bigtrev71]

Thanks for the vid. I will be getting my one for sure to add to the family.

[@ReadySetRC]

@bigtrev71 Yessir!

[@Cbam871]

I have the 2.0 bajarey i haven't even taken out yet but this looks amazing

[@ReadySetRC]

@Cbam871 Really good truck. I did not answer your question on the battery on the last comment. I ran it on 6s in this video but I prefer the Gens Ace 4S bashing series pack. 6800 mah, fit perfectly. Check out that second run video if you get a chance. Way better than the first run video, IMO😊 I found the motor runs really hot. I swapped it out to a 1260kv I had sitting around. Have yet to run it.

[@808mode]

Watching this while having second thoughts opening my new Mojave 4s 😅. I have a Hammer Rey and love the scale but it’s not a basher. Always been a huge fan of the Bronco driver Loren Healy so this TB7 seems like the no brainer love child between the Hammer and Mojave. Would love an in-depth comparison so I can decide to keep one or both 😂. I live near Gens Ace so once I decide for new batteries and charger I’ll tell them you sent me 🤙🏼

[@ReadySetRC]

@JayHeadley Sweet thanks for the support. It's funny the two times I've taken the TB7 out, both times it was with the Mojave 4s. Even though I know this truck can take it, I've been much harder on the Mojave 4s, except in the battery comparison video. That was my second time running it. I felt more comfortable with it. It's been a while since I've driven a solid rear axle truck but this is the best. Many's RC took his on a trail bash. Since day one that is where I want to take this. Only thing, I think my trail is covered with leaves. May need to bring out the rake😆 I got a few more runs before I put a final thoughts. I will say the motor gets really hot, even on 4s, may need to swap that out. I got something in mind from my parts bin🤔

[@2XRC]

Great looking rig ⭐️ The YiKong DF7 v2 is also very tempting. You know I’m an SC guy😂

[@ReadySetRC]

@randydimac That's true😆 I was looking at the DF7 v2 when this dropped and then it was all over🤣

[@smokefathersbbq]

Slooow. Was expecting more speed for the price. Seems to handle well enough.

[@ReadySetRC]

@smokefatherjohnnysbbq977 I was just trying to get a feel for the truck in the vid. Watch the 4s run kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ-ldYFmpN2dmsU

[@ninthislandrc]

Been considering getting one of these...but, if i do, it'll be the blue/green one. The body is pretty spot-on to the Bronco Ultra4 4000 Unlimited Class vehicles the TB7 is based on, plus both color options are pretty close to the actual vehicle's paint scheme.

[@ReadySetRC]

@ninthislandrc Yikong killed it! I was going to get that one too. But red is my favorite color😊

[@ninthislandrc]

My favorites are blue & black. While I like the black of the red & black, I like the blue of the green & blue even more. If I do end up getting one, I'll have to get a clear body, to do my "special" theme.

[@rcbeast101]

Awesome truck. How many cars do you have now. I've been watching for years.

[@ReadySetRC]

@rcbeast101 Man you are blowing me up😆 I think we got about the same amount😊

[@kaosr.c]

Im not hitting the jumps , proceeds to hit the jumps 😅..... Nice rip on it , interesting little rc for sure

[@ReadySetRC]

@kaosr.c That guy on the right shoulder😈 really knows how to push my buttons😆

[@JiluMiah-ek2rd]

😂😂 nice 👍

[@rcplaytime]

awesome truck and rip dude 😀😀👍🙃

[@ReadySetRC]

@rcplaytime Thanks man💪

[@poloshobbyzone6355]

You know if there is support for spare parts? It’s the only concern I have with non popular brands… truck looks awesome!

[@ReadySetRC]

@poloshobbyzone6355 Actually this is the third version of this truck from Yikong. Parts availability won't be an issue other than ordering it from an overseas distributor.

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

it's an unknown brand in the UK . Me personally don't buy into uknown brands not officially available in the UK .

[@ReadySetRC]

@ianjohnhorwood2605 Unknown in the US too but buying the same T and A brands is getting old.

[@prod.twnt2153]

oh nah i hope i can land an internship that pays decent i NEED this

[@Cbam871]

Is this as big as the baja rey 2.0? An whats the best battery for it. 3s? 4? Im building an axial scx24 version of this from a Meus mb24 kit but id love a scale truck like this to full send in offroad dirt areas

[@ReadySetRC]

@Cbam871 I'm doing the same thing with the Meus kit! Bigger then a Baja Rey 2.0. I did a video with the UDR and the Mojave. Same wheelbase but wider than both. Check it out if you get a chance kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXzUpoqpaLana6c

[@TidyRC]

Never seen this b4 or heard of it. Seems very lively, drifts well and sounds amazing. How much is it?

[@ReadySetRC]

@tidyt3656 Today's price $614.58 with free shipping😆 These prices and links change daily on AliExpress. I paid just under $600. Don't be skittish on the delivery dates, as long as you stay on the shipper it comes a lot sooner. Mine came exactly in 30 days and I was quoted two months plus. It's one of the best kept secrets in RC. Came out late summer.

[@TidyRC]

@@ReadySetRC nice one bro. Thanks for the reply. I’ll check it out.

[@haliunamar1701]

Hi, I also have this machine. I played 6s. Can I use one 4s and play? Otherwise, do I have to use two 2s lipos to play? Have you tried using a 4s lipo? How fast is it? Can I play with one 4s?

[@ReadySetRC]

@haliunamar1701 Yes you can run it on 4s. It can be two 2s lipos or a single 4s. Not sure on speeds but it's really quick. I like it more on 4s than 6s.

[@haliunamar1701]

thanks
