Can We Waterproof the Radio Too? MK07V2 Wet Day RC-TNT 2026-09-26 | Can We Waterproof the Radio Too? MK07V2 Wet Day
Found the Best Upgrade for RGT Intruder! RC-TNT 2025-01-25 | The RGT Intruder EX86020 is a gorgeous single-speed trail rig. However, it was lacking in the power department and needed a little more finesse for both rocks and trails.But I really like the radio system and lights it comes with and I didn't want to lose those when upgrading to brushless. What to do?Well, I have the answer for you if you want an RGT Intruder Fusion upgrade, but to keep the original radio.And to have controllable bumper lights. And rock lights. And a front winch. And a rear winch. All from the original radio.Oh yes!--A note on Pepe the Frog at 0:44 - I just learned from a commenter that this "feels good man" meme has been adopted by various hate groups. I had no idea about this and it was used innocently here! To be clear, there are no racist undertones or intentions here! I just liked the silly rhyme! --Buy Your EX86020: - ATees (recommended): http://asiate.es/aff?l=233967&i=76070(Brass knuckles also available: http://asiate.es/aff?l=234172&i=76070 )- Amazon: amzn.to/3CmH3nq- Banggood: https://ban.ggood.vip/14Ux7More about EX86020:- WATCH my EX86020 Review: youtu.be/Kj2qikTzTvY- READ my full review here: rc-tnt.com/manufacturer/rgt/rgt-intruder-an-important-releaseMOD LIST:- HW Fusion SE 1800kv: http://asiate.es/aff?l=210193&i=76070- RGT R6D-BS Receiver: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oCdjkgV- INJORA Wobby Antenna: amzn.to/3Cei9GG- 3DP Sand Ladders: thingiverse.com/thing:1665986- 3DP Wipers: thingiverse.com/thing:3344590- Roof Rack Netting: amzn.to/40NDCzI- Shovel on rear: amzn.to/4h3j2km- Scale Snatch Block (Pulley): amzn.to/3PMBYbf- Ground Anchor: amzn.to/40XsHnb- Recovery Cable: amzn.to/40KmZEX- D-Shackles in Bumpers: amzn.to/3WA0HTX- INJORA Rock Lights: amzn.to/3CrlMZN- Bumper Lights: amzn.to/3PQloao- LED Controllers for Bumper Lights: amzn.to/3PRv98m- Pro-Line Trencher Class-1 1.9 Tires: http://asiate.es/aff?l=207793&i=76070(use included single-stage foams, they work well)- INJORA 1.9 Beadlock wheels: amzn.to/3Cx5JcPor BR Pro Build 1.9 Wheels: http://asiate.es/aff?l=241734&i=76070- INJORA Servo Winch (Front): amzn.to/4jzDmf1- Generic Winch I Used (Rear): amzn.to/4geHyhp- WP-1060 for Rear Winch: amzn.to/4h5KuxZYet to install:- RGT Light Bar for roof rack: amzn.to/3PPe26V- RGT Brass Knuckles: http://asiate.es/aff?l=234172&i=76070- Stronger 6v servo: amzn.to/4aB0ohw- Snatch Strap (Recovery Rope): amzn.to/4aB0ohwAlso mentioned in this video:- Loctite 638: amzn.to/4hqjklg- RGT Shooter Pro Review: youtu.be/odIKvXW2eJc- DJI Action 5 Action Cam: amzn.to/4hrZQN2(I bought the Skiing Combo - good for RC!)- 28:54 RGT Rescuer EX86190: youtu.be/TGGQpR82cDUWRCCA Scale-1 Points Assessment Tool: https://melbournecompcrawlers.com.au/scale-1-assessment-tool/Cars Mentioned in Monologue:- 30:11 FMS FCX10 LC80 in Comp: youtu.be/SGmmBeCr5AY- 30:16 FMS FCX10 K10 Blazer Upgraded: youtu.be/553cZnV-pV8- 30:23 Cross RC EMO AT4 Kit: youtu.be/moDtgCcDJtc- 30:28 TRX4 1979 Bronco Upgraded: youtu.be/TNPq8ZgN7OQ- 30:29 TRX4 2021 Bronco Ocean Run: youtu.be/iX25Bm4HwRo- 30:30 TRX4 Sport Kit Upgraded: youtu.be/NK9n_fZ0tEQ- 30:33 TRX4 Defender w/LC80 Body: youtu.be/3IyEzy_f8Lg- 30:42 RGT Pioneer EX86110 Modded: youtu.be/XW2KO557p6U- 30:50 Element RC Ecto vs Others: youtu.be/psFjmvRa2Mc- 31:05 RGT 136100v2 RC3: youtu.be/Psj6Pwm7ZQA- 31:21 Redcat Ascent Fusion Overhaul: youtu.be/o3qRo39Tg3w- 31:39 RGT Tracer EX86180 Pro: youtu.be/ZwA8SPhSWGM- 31:41 Boom Racing BRX01 Review: youtu.be/IGvkUnnUKQA- 31:47 RC4WD TF3 Fixed: youtu.be/VrmIhy-5OyY- 31:50 RC4WD TF2: youtu.be/3ZOZg6dDNFE- 31:55 Tamiya Bruiser Clone: discussed in TF2 vid (above)- 31:59 Gmade BOM GS02F: youtu.be/FFAUNlvTbx0- 32:13 Traxxas TRX6: youtu.be/qACZzWS-jmE- 32:15 Traxxas TRX6 UH: youtu.be/UCWoa9kZMy8- 32:28 Element RC Zuul: youtu.be/qPwpFiKbV5QJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCRx09JE3sYu4AgWTHR9fNdg/joinArticles:What's the Best RC Car? rc-tnt.com/guides/best-rc-carBest RC Crawler? rc-tnt.com/manufacturer/multiple/what-is-the-best-rc-rock-crawlerFollow us:Website: rc-tnt.comTwitter @rctrailandtech and on Instagram:instagram.com/rctrailandtechKits, models & upgrades at my fave int'l hobby store:asiatees.com/shop-now?rc_pal=3736303730#ex86020, #rgtintruder, #rgtcralwer, #rccrawling, #rcreview, CHAPTERS:0:00 RGT Intruder Gets FOC1:13 Upgrades in Detail16:40 Test Drive28:42 Debrief

FMS FCX10 LC80 Faces the Ultimate Test! RC-TNT 2024-11-28 | FMS FCX10 LC80 is a charming, licensed recreation of the Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series (buy here: amzn.to/3OqZnya). I owned one of these, in roughly this colour, before I gave it away and bought my 100 series. This vehicle has a special place in my heart.So, what's this 1/10 scale model like? She's a bit more basic fare than the previously reviewed FCX10 Blazer, with straight axles that are always locked, and no DIG unit. But it does have 2-speed and a light kit. Oh, and the body and interior are gorgeous. Seriously.But how's it perform? To find out, I've taken mine fresh out of the box, slapped on my comp wheels, and entered the Scale-1 field in our club's final round for the 2024 season. How will it do?Let's test!BUY HERE: amzn.to/3OqZnyaSuper-heavy brass wheels: amzn.to/4fKCX6UMy comp tires: http://asiate.es/aff?l=207793&i=76070Or on Amazon: amzn.to/4g5JFUQI did all 5 courses on this single 2200mah 3S 35C battery: amzn.to/4ePeBrAComp gates - FREE!

Hosim Vortan X25: Low-Fat 1/8 Truggy? RC-TNT 2024-11-22 | This is the Hosim Vortan X25 1/8 Truggy (amzn.to/487raN9 ). It's a 3S "1:8 scale", brushless truggy with a 3100kv 3660 motor, 9kg metal gear servo, tough drivetrain and a pretty decent price.It's cheaper than other similarly-equipped 1/10 models, let alone 1/8.

LDARC X43 Review: Tiny Course Crawler! RC-TNT 2024-10-19 | This is the LDARC X43 RTR tiny desktop crawler. It isn't the smallest crawler money can buy, but it might be the best sub-24th scale option for performance and especially, for value. I've had several Orlandoo models and have played with a few others, including some DIY stuff, but for sheer features and crawling ability with zero modification needed? The LDARC X43 RTR has quickly made its way to the top of my list.

Interview: the Smallest RC Excavator! RC-TNT 2024-09-07 | NANO TRACKS N320: The SMALLEST commercially-available RC excavator in the WORLD? It may just be!Full function, palm-sized and cheap: is there anything else in RC construction like this?Have you been wondering about the best cheap RC construction equipment? Often, cheap means weak - we've got a whole series coming on this stuff. It's often not worth it if it's cheap.Well, this might just be the exception: a tiny little RC digger that's cheap, cool & capable for its intended purpose! Meet the NANO Tracks N320 RC Excavator (previously called NANO TRX'). And it is indeed tiny - smaller than you ever thought you could buy as a ready-to-run machine, I'm guessing! Micro scale RC construction equipment has been, until now, a fully-custom undertaking, with hours of research and painstaking work to create a tiny, working scale model.Jonathan Abbott has set out to change all that. Let's have a chat and get to know the man behind this ambitious project!NANO Tracks Project Links:Nano Tracks: nanotrxrc.comKS: kickstarter.com/projects/nanotrx/nano-trx-n320-a-desktop-size-fully-functional-rc-excavatorYT: youtube.com/@NANOTRACKSRCVideos featured in this interview:Tiny Machines Montage/Diorama:RCWorld: youtube.com/watch?v=hi8UCYZpm9AVarious Nano TRX clips from Jonathan's YT channel:youtube.com/@NANOTRACKSRC****THIS VIDEO BROUGHT TO YOU BY MY CHANNEL MEMBERS:RC-TNT Scratch Build Channel Members:- Andy Yates- Chris F- El Duderino Lebowski- Varg- Andrei Rosu- Al Fd- Rhett Peereboom- BrorBThanks to all RC-TNT channel supporters.

My Comp Chassis Coming Soon & Im Excited! RC-TNT 2024-09-06 | Designed for WRCCA Scale-1 class (roughly equivalent to SORRCA Class 1, though no guarantees on that), the RC-TNT Gumleaf and Gumnut Competition Chassis kit will be freely downloadable on rc-tnt.com when I release the full video.Gumleaf - has rear leaf springs Gumnut - coils all roundI will ask for your email for this one, only to add to my mailing list (for which I have yet to ever send a single email out!!) - I'm just after some redundancy alongside YouTube. But it really will be free and I'll have a recommended parts list for a few different builds as shown here.They're designed to allow you to tinker and fit whatever axles, drive line, body, etc. that you want. It's modular, allowing you to mix and match body and bumper mounts, different servo and panhard mounts/sides, allows a variety of shock mount approaches, and keeps the mass nice and low, which also gives plenty of body clearance. My testing has shown this to be wildly capable for its class. My Gumleaf variant (leaves in rear, on BRX90 portal axles - the first one in this video) outperforms my national championship winning rig, and that's quite a feat.Looking forward to sharing this with you all soon!

Full Overhaul for the MN-82 Landcruiser! RC-TNT 2024-06-11 | This is a pretty model and it's not expensive.

Vanquish H10 Optic Trail Rig vs Rock! RC-TNT 2024-06-06 | Vanquish Products USA have a legacy of high-performance, high-quality RC crawlers. Just this year we've looked at the VRD Stance RTR and VRD Carbon kit, two legendary rock crawlers that are just stellar on the hard stuff.But the VP H10 Optic Trail Buggy is something of a different beast. For a start, it's in the name - it doesn't claim to be a rock crawler. But we've got the same transmission, locked diffs, live axles, overdrive gearing from the transmission and the ability to install a front DIG. There's definitely a crawler in there somewhere.Because the Axial Capra and Element Gatekeeper have come before them (and the RC4WD Miller Motorsports buggy as well, now I think about it), comparisons to these preeminent vehicles are nearly inevitable. Will such comparisons be fair or even relevant? Well, I'll try to help with the former and I'll leave the latter up to you, dear viewer. This is the H10 Optic. Let's take a look!

RC-TNT Turns 3; Needs Bigger Toy Box! RC-TNT 2024-05-27 | My first video published on May 27, 2021 (youtu.be/_yzHyrXtXHU). I had no idea what I was doing, nor really what I wanted to do with RC-TNT. That is, except to hang out with my online RC fam and talk about (and play with!) RC cars. Seemed like a good place to start! I've heard being a youtuber can be a soul-sucking grind. Thankfully, the opposite has been true in my experience. This has been a relaxing yet stimulating way to explore the hobby in more detail than I ever had before. It's connected me with many fantastic people. I've deepened my knowledge and my appreciation of what goes into making a great crawler, a tough basher, and of what it takes to build a channel. It's a big job!Today, RC-TNT has passed 2 million views, has 270+ full-effort videos published, over 11,000 subscribers, and a whole lot more to do yet!

RGTs Most Important Release This Year? RC-TNT 2024-05-23 | So, what’s the fuss about the RGT Intruder 86020? Isn’t it just another car? Well, no: for a start, it’s their first big release for 2024. Secondly, it looks the same as the RGT Rescuer EX86190, which will inevitably lead to comparisons with the older, larger model.Get one here: https://ban.ggood.vip/14Ux7BG supplied a promo code: BG365918 Here's the thing: RGT has proven they can make great vehicles. They’ve shown that they can make a decently durable model that performs well AND has parts and upgrade availability. As these models draw new potential customers to consider the brand, their newest model releases matter all the more. The RGT Intruder EX86020 is their first, high-level scale-model RC crawler that doesn’t have the extra bells and whistles that many folks avoid. It has a gorgeous body. The price suggests quality. The running gear is solid (U-joints in those front axles, for example). And it’s all 1/10 scale kit.In short, this model needs to be good. Better than good. Newcomers to RGT are watching this one! Let's test!Grab one from BG:https://ban.ggood.vip/14Ux7BG supplied a promo code: BG365918 From the video:LEDs in Bumpers:I'd put two white LEDs and two red LEDs in series, then run the two pairs in parallel.

Reengineering the Redcat Ascent Fusion! RC-TNT 2024-05-13 | We recently looked at the new Redcat Racing Ascent Fusion RTR RC crawler (youtu.be/jPx5HSszdtI). While quite capable, I felt it was about at its performance limit when compared to other vehicles in its class.I found the front end of the chassis quite busy. The rear end doesn't meet WRCCA comp ruleset standards, the tires have a LOT of sideways play, and the geometry up front just isn't quite right - there's even a little bump steer!One issue with all this modifying this vehicle is challenging: you already have a good, strong servo, an FOC brushless system, carbon-fiber chassis rails, and a nice, lightweight body. So what do you do to address its shortcomings?Well, I've spent a week on this and wanted to bring you a path to addressing the issues with as little pain and extra hardware as possible. Let me show you what I've done!--Find the upgrade parts here: rc-tnt.com/project/total-rework-for-redcat-ascent-fusionFull res photos here of mine to help you with your install: photos.app.goo.gl/otiVjxiPQP7iYYeSAIf you have trouble printing my SOA mount, there's a better SOA option than my Shapeways one.

Injora Rock Buggy is CHEAP and LIGHT! RC-TNT 2024-04-25 | Pricey's Tuff Truck is a class created by the man himself, Steve Price of Pricey's Custom Crawlers (see facebook.com/p/Priceys-Custom-Crawlers-100057753455776 )The Capra and Gatekeeper are the out-of-the-box rigs that fit right in to this class. But there's so much room to imagine and create, it's great! I've been busy with Mini and Scale-1 of late, so this year I've kinda mashed together my Capra and an Injora Rock Buggy chassis/body, which is cheap, light and easy to work with.How'd it turn out? So glad you asked! Let me show you!--Important update: this is a Gmade R1 clone. I somehow missed this when making the video. Sorry for the oversight and apologies to gmade for featuring your design without attribution. I'll try hard not to let this happen again. --Update: I created this video in the last few days before I left for ECCF. It's still a couple of days before I leave as I write this and I've been testing several different tire and foam combos - just didn't have time to do this until now! In the video here, you can see how similar the two sets of tires perform. I actually do prefer my TPU inserts over the foams and the new treads are even better now I've run a few packs through them. I'm going to compete using my 1.9 Mr Lines V2 for 5.4 Pro-Lines, I've decided. I'm about as happy as I'll get with the rig in its current form. It still isn't quite right, but it's pretty good. You can bet I'll be watching the other rigs closely at the comp to try to learn a bit more about what makes a good TT rig! --Download my TPU inserts here: (link coming soon) Print instructions are on that page too. I've used generic TPU, so can't tell you it's shore rating, but softer is generally going to be better.
