RC-TNT
These RC Crawlers Are Getting TINY!
updated
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!

My question is, what do you get if you cross a cheap Crawler with a budget Basher, in a mini size? The answer may just be the MJX H12Y. Let's take a look at this tiny trail truck!
Currently on sale on BG: banggood.com/custlink/GvD9oy072t

18:45 Conclusion
#rccrawling, #rcreview, #mjxhypergo, #mjxh12y, #minirc,
Lockers. 2-Speed. IFS. Big & Fast? YES!
Features a mid-mounted 2-speed transmission, remote locking diffs, full light kit, 2.6" beadlock wheels, IFS and rear trailing arms with a tough composite cage racing body. Live rear axle, alu shocks, bell crank steering, full interior; what's not to like?
In RTR form, it has a top speed of 30kph and comes already assembled, with HOBBYWING 880 Brushed ESC, 775 Brushed Motor, 25KG Servo, 3 mini servos and 6CH Remote Controller.
I'm looking at the ARTR version (Almost Ready To Run - BYO electronics). See below for the list of components I installed. I paid about USD$538 delivered.
So, how's it drive? Let's test!
Cross RC UT4 Pro RTR: amzn.to/4fSTcyg

Items for ARTR version (not needed for RTR):
HW 8IGHT Fusion 1/8 system:

ATees: http://asiate.es/aff?l=241500&i=76070
Steering servo:
ATees: http://asiate.es/aff?l=157146&i=76070 (my fave cheap-decent servo)
Amazon: amzn.to/4gPCqBo (cheaper option, still good)
Micro Servo Bracket on RC-TNT.com:
rc-tnt.com/project/servo-bracket-for-cross-rc-ut4-pro
My bracket will allow you to fit a micro servo (like the Power HD TR4 or jxServo micro) to operate both diff locks at once, no cutting required. So much easier! Just be sure to use a strong servo!

Today we look at its performance on the 6-Problem course, to get an idea of what you might expect from this thing on the rocks, relative to other vehicles.
Let's test!
PS. The new Challenger Pro is here in its box, video soon!

Does the new EX86150 have what it takes to usurp the EX86190's supremacy as their flagship model? I don't yet know, but I'm sure excited to find out!

Looks pretty decent on paper. But how's it drive? Is it worthy of a purchase, particularly given it's slightly more money than the 1/16 version? Honestly, I'm not sure - but let's take it for a drive and find out!
Let's test!
This style comes in 1/10, 1/16 and 1/20 from MJX!

Rlaarlo sent it to me for review. I did not pay for it...
...at least, not with money. Instead, I paid with HOURS of videoing and editing, just for YOU! I hope you find it helpful as you decide whether or not to buy this latest creation from the increasingly-prolific Rlaarlo.
So, this is the Rlaarlo X12S review. Clear your calendar, grab your coffee, put your phone on silent and find your comfy chair. It's time to take a long, hard look at their latest buggy.
Let's go!

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?

SPECIAL THANKS: to James McDowell for filming my 5 runs. You da man! Thanks brother!
A note for CASA: air regulations were followed in the creation of footage for this video. The drone used was a 136g DJI Neo and it was kept well over the water during filming. Footage was taken in 4k and zoomed to give the appearance of near-top down perspective. Location was checked for legality of flight before drone operation and altitude was maintained at safely under prescribed maximum for this location.

It's cheaper than other similarly-equipped 1/10 models, let alone 1/8. Cadmium steel, helical cut gears, a center diff and robust drivetrain all sounds pretty good. Alu shocks, large scale and a brushless system, too!
But is it worth a purchase? Let's test!

UPDATE:
I heated the stuck screw and removed it with a stuck screw bit (DR#5 here: amzn.to/4fXGFtD)
Have now popped 500k oil into the middle diff and replaced all the screws with socket hex bolts. Next, I'll do the diffs and shocks. Will report back on how it drives with a short video in the near future.

Features, inclusions, radios, bodies, equipment, durability and driving - we look at all of this in a quick review of the MJX 16208 and comparison with the Rlaarlo ROG1.
Correction/apology: commenters tell me the MJX can take 3S! I checked the MJX website before producing this video for this detail but didn't see anything about that, so I only ran with the supplied battery. I'm sorry I didn't include a section on this, it's a glaring omission in this one. Sorry, guys.

The more I look into Hobao, the more enthusiasm I find from satisfied owners of their models. The Hyper VS2 is reportedly no different - but, as always, I've gone out of my way to know as little as possible about it before we get it on screen.
My first experience with this model is intended to be just like your first experience with it: open the box, put it together, and see what we think. So, let's get to it!

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!

Gumleaf - has rear leaf springs
Gumnut - coils all round
I 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! Today is a sneak peek 🤫
#rctnt, #rccrawling,
Available here: rlaarlo.com/pages/rog14?ref=RCTNT
It has an impressive spec sheet:
80km/h+ in stock form;
100km/h with included speed pinion;
1/14 scale and their claimed toughest vehicle yet;
3600kv 4-pole Brushless motor & 45A ESC;
4WD with sturdy slipper clutch;
Full metal drivetrain;
2mm alloy baseplate and 3mm alloy shock towers;
DumboRC 4-ch radio system;
Waterproof;
Includes a quality 35C 2200mAh 3S LiPO.
This all sounds pretty good, right? Could it be the best smaller-scale, brushless, off-road RC of 2024? I'd like to know - and if you would too, stick around. We're going to put this thing through its paces.
Let's test!

It isn't the fastest, the best handling, the biggest jumping, the prettiest (lol) nor the toughest. And yet, it's become one of my very favorite RC models.

It's something of a short course truck mixed with a high speed trail rig, with independent suspension on all corners, a tub chassis, big brushless power and a gorgeous, licensed scale body on top!
With this 2S and 3S compatibility and big suspension travel, this thing is clearly designed for off-road fun! But will all that scale detail come at a performance cost? And how tough is it? Value for money or expensive shelf queen?
I have questions. Let's get some answers!

We recently looked at another model from 2018 in the HoBao Hyper SC10 (youtu.be/Gshxkt_cC_I) and it was very, very good. Will the cheaper but full-featured HPI deliver the same whopping value?
One way to find out! Let's test!

Some might say it isn't fair to Hobao to include it in this round-up, because after all, this is a 6-year old model! But then, some may not have given the Hobao Hyper 10SC a drive and may not realise just how nice this thing is.

The guy is a skilled hobby engineer and works with both carbon fiber and 3D-printed parts, making world-class, competitive competition rock crawler chassis kits.
PBCCP caters for Pro/MOA 2.2, Sporty 2.2, P/Scale (C2) and Mini classes, as well as C1-compatible chassis rails and other configurations. The man behind the builds is a genuinely good bloke who not only builds a mean rig but also knows how to drive them. Jakey has a list of wins under his belt to give even the most experienced competitor something to worry about!
So, let me show you what Pink Bits CCP is all about!
Find Jakey and PBCCP on FB:

Sponsorship note: Jakey/PBCCP did not ask for this video nor pay me for this review. I bought two of his chassis kits last year and paid full price (gladly) and actually asked him for this interview. I thought it might be of some value to you guys in the USA and elsewhere. The man is the real deal, his product high quality, and you can't argue with a shelf full of 1st place trophies from the last few years!

Well, it's not a great crawler, despite live axles, locked diffs, servo on axle and low gearing. But as a trail rig, there's potential.
Can we make it better? I reckon we may just be able to! Let me show you what I've done with mine...
Buy your MN-82 here: banggood.com/custlink/GGKSv5GyES
(BG advised a promo for this car starts Jun 12, 2024)

And by the way, there is a light kit for the MN-78 that you may be able to adapt to this thing, if you're keen (even just the tail lights module, for example). Find that here: amzn.to/45dbRRv

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! (See what I did there? Lol)

Before I retire this rig and start building a new Scale-1 project for 2025 WRCCA comps, I wanted to show you how this thing performed! Here are a couple of runs from the 2024 East Coast Crawl Fest from the end of April 2024, in south-east Queensland, Australia.
I also highly recommend checking out these runs from that same class, they're good watching:

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!
Thank YOU for watching :)

Get one here:

BG 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:

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. The white LEDs are happy all day at 3v each, but red likes 2.4-2.6v, so be sure to add a resistor on the red LED line! Plug this 2x2 assembly into a spare Rx port and wire it up neatly. Use this for selecting a resistor: ledcalculator.net

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!

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.
