@@marciopereira1065 I thought about it but it’s way too late for that. I still have the chassis. Could put new electronics in it and find some other body. Possibly.
I've been looking at both of these RC's wondering which one to buy. This comparison video is perfect and just what I needed to help me decide which one to buy. Thank you very much my friend. Liked and subbed. All the best from Derek 🙂👍🏼👍🏼
Hello, thanks for the feedback, I’m happy the video helped you decide 😄 To be honest I love them both, that’s why I’ve ended up having a small (big…) FMS collection of rigs… 😂 I’ve also subscribed your channel! Thanks Marcio
I need help with my thunderstorm RC rock crawler jeep so I let my little brother use it and then all sudden the throttle is backwards. Forward is reverse reverse forward and it’s driving me nuts.
@@AydenGregory assuming it’s the same transmitter as mine, to say the new version of transmitters, your little brother must have pressed the buttons at the top of the transmitter and reversed the sequence of the throttle and steering. I don’t remember the page to be exact, but if you check on the manual it will tell you how to set up the transmitter and which button does what. I never had that problem to be honest. This is one of the rare ovations where the manual is handy to have… 😄
3:20 Why would you "repair" the body mounted servo to put it on the axle? Mounting the servo to the axle is certainly the current trend and it also corrects bump steer when it exists (and also keeps the operating angle parallel to the axle, aka simplifies the working angle and probably makes life easier for the servo), but it's dubious otherwise. When mounted horizontally, the servo now needs a recess for it to move into when the suspension is under compression. It reduces the amount of suspension articulation *unless* you carve out a recess for the servo to move into. That means you lose the area previously occupied by the battery and the ESC. I prefer the hidden servo mounted under the bonnet for more realism. Cute crawler course with a multitude of smooth and uniform logs (no bark) and other sanitary features. How dull; I mean it's fun to get these crawler trucks dirty and/or to operate them on realistic, scaled-down-to-1/18 area with loose pebbles, mud, loose dry dirt and so forth just like in real life.
I meant “repair” or rectify the previous comment on another model’s review 😄 I personally prefer the servo inside the body as you said, it looks more realistic. I chose not to use bark on my crawler course due to maintenance (the uk weather tends to be rough at times). I have a woodland close to me and that’s where the majority of my videos are done, I prefer the mud and the more realistic set of woodland 😄 Thanks ever so much for watching my videos and leaving a comment, I really appreciate!
My FJ Cruiser caught on fire. It now spends it days as a wrecked vehicle in the background of some of my videos. Thanks for sharing your video.
Sorry to hear that yours caught on fire. The FJ Cruiser is a very good truck. Have you though about repairing the truck?

@@toeshifter you can always buy a donor truck and just change what you need.

Thank you! 😃
Great video. New sub
Thank you so much! 😄

Thanks!
@@marciopereira1065 it's a pleasure 👍

Looks like a easyrc firehorse.. with a slight different paint job
It looks like the same, same ESC combo, but I think with a far better paint job! 😄
Thanks! 😁
Hi, it would be great if u could compare these to d MN111 RTR. Thx
Hi, unfortunately I don’t have a MN111.
I thought that truck was only sold as a kit 🤔
@@marciopereira1065 Hi, d RTR just came out. Btw, its great useful info that you compared d FJ Cruiser to d Thunderstorm. Thx
Hi, I got the RTR MN 111, will be making a video soon
Donate money to his channel, and he will review anything you want 🤑

@@AydenGregory which transmitter did your thunderstorm came with? Was the older version or the new one?
@@marciopereira1065 hay
@@marciopereira1065 I got it not too long ago 2 3 months ago
