I loved mine straight out of the box and then I got some upgrades for it , I fitted oil shocks , brass wheel weights inside and outside , low range gearbox with metal gears the plastic ones strip easily, slightly bent and stretched lower links to make high clearance links very easy to do and free , I also moved the steering servo to the axle , no more bump steering, and I did the headlight mod so I have high and low beam another very easy and free mod , to make it easier to work on I removed some body bolts and bolted the cab to the roll cage to make the whole body ridged, so now two body clips at the front hold the body on take them out and the body will lift up like an scx 24 gladiator , hinged at the rear of the chassis, I liked the stock wheels and tires they are very cheap to buy so I bought a few sets for future builds , now this truck is fantastic , it really is a go anywhere truck , keep the build videos coming and stay safe mate 🇬🇧
I really like these cheapo reviews, I feel like you’re giving the newbies some inspiration! And also as a long time hobbyist I love watching these videos. They all look worth buying! :)
That is a great looking crawler with a lot of features. It performs extremely well. But, you have to love the Rock Van. It seems out of place, but performs well. This was a good choice to review.
Amazing little truck, Phil! Fantastic ride and review! 😃 I just remembered something... There's a sticky battery pad they sell for quadcopters... They stop being sticky when they get dirty, but water and a cloth solves it. You know? Either way, if you glue them to the tires, this thing is going to climb walls! 😬 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Fun fact. This are based on Absima rigs. Also Wpl tyres will fit those rims as they are the same size with 1.2" diameter. Got some of those FTX tyres and they fit perfectly on Wpl rims.
Hmm and the Absima trucks are based on what? Hahah we could go on and on. I’ve got an Absima Sherpa that is based on something else in the Chinese market
Ah was that the dreaded clicking of plastic gears at 07:11 ? I stripped my gears out in a bind pretty quickly when shooting B-Roll for my review and nobody in the UK has the metal ears in stock! Doh! That said this little truck is amazing and with a few free to do mods I have made huge gains in performance. I would have a fleet of these little trucks (despite the plastic gears) they're brilliant! 🤩🙃Nice detail in the intro old chap, you are the OG!
I'd say for upgrades the Scx24 is hard to beat. For performance right out of the box the fcx24 is probably your best option. At least within a reasonable price range.
Not so much worried about the lack of driver, just thankful you weren't caught 'wiggling' yourself off in a public place fella. Nice looking mog though.
Nice run mister definitely a fan i really want to get the rockvan i find it awesome they are both great performing rigs indeed!! WHERE IS THE DRIVER SIR ??
For a first timer, mostly crusing around the yard and some off road stuff, would you recommend the new K5? I love the look of the K10 but think that the 2 speed transmission is a great idea.
Yep really want one of these to go with my fcx24 and its your fault I have one of those @TomleyRC same as the mjx hyper go and the element trailrunner 😂
I think that’s the first rc truck or car where I wanted to buy from its looks, in that matt green it’s quality…..I got the Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco 2021 I was going to get the matching TRX-4M Bronco 2021 is it worth getting the unitrak or is it worth spending the extra on the Traxxas
Damn they perform so well, even though they are jolly tiny scale! But seriously, they are almost half the size of a 1:10th, I really am impressed. And the 6x6 truck is available at the same price as the 4x4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice thing is they all use the FMS portal axles and for like 70 euros you can make 'm 4x4x4 ( best if you have a controller that does mixed channels like the flysky nb3 or pro )... 😁
Very capable little trucks, i like them although i prefer 1/10 scale. I do have an ftx outback 3 and a wpl c24. Springwoods looks like a great place to go. Is it private or open to the pubic?
Great vid I love the small scale crawlers I was marveling at my scx24 making light work of some rough terrain in the yard, it has a lot of mods but still impressive 😁🛻🪵
BRO PLZZZZZ BUY JETWOOD 1:16 BRUSHLESS RC CAR AND DO A SPEED TEST OF IT WITH 3S 2200 mah BATTERY PLZZ TOMLEY PLZZZZZ.❤❤❤ I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE 2021😢😢.PLZZZZ
not really into the whole 'crawling' thing, driving slow over awkward stuff and rocks an all that, I'm diggin' the Cars tho, that quick one you had the other day's a little beauty too.
This is the Hobbyplus cr18p called the Trail Hunter for those in the U.S trying to get one. It's awesome by the way.
The US Hero we needed, but didn't deserve.
Thanks
@@ryano8613 no problem
How hard is it to find parts? Both upgrades and replacements
@@V8chump also RCAWD (not rc4wd the scale truck guys) makes some parts for it.

The Ftx Utah looks awesome be nice to see a video 🎉

Real cheap...
I've been the biggest lover of smaller RC trucks but you might of just changed my mind after watching this nice review sir 👊
You're the only youtuber I'm subscribed to who posted this Sunday, so thank you for that Phil! Love the cheaper RCs
The little trucks have come along way indeed. As seen here it’s doing what some 1/10 can love it 👌🏼
Nice little video to watch while I take a break in painting and decorating
Certainly an interesting machine. Great video. Thank you
Josh from Texoma RC has a killer chassis for that right there call the Slayer Pro
That is a great looking crawler with a lot of features. It performs extremely well. But, you have to love the Rock Van. It seems out of place, but performs well. This was a good choice to review.
Looks very good, wow, I like the way you present the rc cars so much. 👍👍👍Tomley.
Amazing little truck, Phil! Fantastic ride and review! 😃

Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yup!, I keep telling folks it’s a great time to get into any and all things RC!!🛵🛺🚅🚀🛸🚁🛶🚔🚗🚐🚜
That seems way better than the regular cr18. My 'Harvest' got harvested
Looking forward to getting my hands on one these 👍🛻🛻
You're forgiven for no driver for the double rc teeter totter you did at the end there. Great vid, great new rigs, thanks for the vid!!
Fun fact. This are based on Absima rigs. Also Wpl tyres will fit those rims as they are the same size with 1.2" diameter. Got some of those FTX tyres and they fit perfectly on Wpl rims.
Hmm and the Absima trucks are based on what? Hahah we could go on and on. I’ve got an Absima Sherpa that is based on something else in the Chinese market
Who's driving that thing?
Lol 😂. Great fun my friend, the video is awesome as well, thank you.
Yes! The Unitrax looks awesome and drives terrifically, even without a Driver 😂😂! I am dying to get the rock van builders kit version. Cheers
Love the content got me back in the hobby couldn't be happier❤
I would be great if you could find some metal upgrades and do a build vid on the unimog
Keep up the awesome vids 👍👍😁
Hey now man! This video was great. Really digging the groove music man. 🪩🕺🎉

Nice rig!
Very cool little truck. They are getting good!
Hey Phil, Great video mate, excellent footage of these capable little crawlers & lovin the retro music dude 🤜🏼🤛🏼
A car I wouldn't have to paint 😅that lil thing looks awesome 👌
Good morning!
Love that van! Reminds me of my childhood….
😁 awesome video Phil really enjoyed watching definitely 2 great little trucks 😊🙋♂️
No idea how I came across this channel. Have no time for RC. Haven't bought anything but I feel it's inevitable now 😂
You’ve never roasted me for no driver!?..😢…🤣😎👊just kidding around Phil. Always a pleasure to watch your videos mate. Thanks for sharing
Looks like a bargain at £119. I like ftx rc's. Nice job Phil. John
They also do the FTX kit version which come with brass wheel weights and metal gearbox
Looks good, ftx upping their game
That van is dope
I like this one 👌 impressive little truck 👌👍👍😀😀
It looked as though its climbing ability would really benefit from having some extra weight over the front axel.
i just cant decide on what is the best mini crawler. there are just so many
I'd say for upgrades the Scx24 is hard to beat. For performance right out of the box the fcx24 is probably your best option. At least within a reasonable price range.
@@Br0rB thanks
Tomley you are absolutely smashing it geezer! Love your vids, editing bang on.. Restecper!
Cool video and cool rigs.I am torn between getting one of these or grabbing upgrades for our TRX-4M.
Such cool little trucks! Keep coming with the awesome content! You make my day 😊
Nice 😍
Not so much worried about the lack of driver, just thankful you weren't caught 'wiggling' yourself off in a public place fella. Nice looking mog though.
Nice run mister definitely a fan i really want to get the rockvan i find it awesome they are both great performing rigs indeed!! WHERE IS THE DRIVER SIR ??
For a first timer, mostly crusing around the yard and some off road stuff, would you recommend the new K5? I love the look of the K10 but think that the 2 speed transmission is a great idea.
Go for it, get what you like. FMS makes good RC cars and are perfect for first timers.
The 70s montage at the end tho. 😂
Planned obsolescence? Does Bashing promote this? Spend more on parts? Traxxas?
Yep really want one of these to go with my fcx24 and its your fault I have one of those @TomleyRC same as the mjx hyper go and the element trailrunner 😂
Where can I get new drive shafts no one seems to stock them. My out back x Texan has been out of action for about 4 weeks now ?
I think that’s the first rc truck or car where I wanted to buy from its looks, in that matt green it’s quality…..I got the Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco 2021 I was going to get the matching TRX-4M Bronco 2021 is it worth getting the unitrak or is it worth spending the extra on the Traxxas

nice thing is they all use the FMS portal axles and for like 70 euros you can make 'm 4x4x4 ( best if you have a controller that does mixed channels like the flysky nb3 or pro )... 😁
So which is better, this or the FMS K5? I can only buy one of them right now......
I tuoi video sono i migliori del settore...questo posto è fantastico...dove si trova?
Very capable little trucks, i like them although i prefer 1/10 scale. I do have an ftx outback 3 and a wpl c24. Springwoods looks like a great place to go. Is it private or open to the pubic?
Where do you get your grp tyres from I’ve just bought some but there the ultra soft compound
Aargghh weres wpl!!! Such a fanboy but can't hold on much longer
Don't tell us about wiggling yourself off Tomley. Save that for the other site 😆😂😂
I dig the little mini crawlers but wow after 1/10 they get really tedious to work on😢. Me no likey little screws.
I don’t know how you manage to fit drivers in your cars,I can’t find the right scale figures for them.
Excellent little RCs!
I wish they had chosen more "lorry-like" wheels.
I think we should forgive Phil for his little lapse with regard to the driver.
Great vid I love the small scale crawlers I was marveling at my scx24 making light work of some rough terrain in the yard, it has a lot of mods but still impressive 😁🛻🪵
Hey Phil, when will be the next youtuber race? I love the youtuber race videos.
Wawwwwwww😍😍😍😍😍😍
what part of the country do u live
I'm kind of glad it doesn't have a driver. Then you can focus on the character of the truck
Where is the Sheriff?
Nonsense, I could clearly see it was my father driving! 🤣
100th like
Fist like and view let’s goooo
Ima be honest my moded easy rc glacier could do just as good as that little rig lmk why you guys think otherwise
h s p 94123
No Driver. As it has no interior i think you should be exempt from the rule!
What's with the 70's porn music 😂😂
why do people care about having a driver or not? I'd prefer them without the driver.

Can not decide between the FMS K5 Blazer and the RockVan from HobbyPlus....🫣
Ftx always satisfies my needs ... Nearly brought there touring car roller but i fixed my hpi after accident 💪🫡
