It’s so expensive because they know people can’t can’t resist something that looks good and big. They know people will be suckered in and that alone is enough for them to charge an unfair price. Greed.
I have been wondering this as well. I believe there are two different versions of this rc. The one you have is the cheap, toy-grade model. Afterwards, they released a more hobby grade version. This model has a lot of metal upgrades, oil shocks, fully proportional, etc. Basically, they fixed all the flaws your model has. Double E's higher end stuff is usually really nice.
snapped up a Doomsday Barrage RTR when it was 100 bucks free shipping, already know about axle issue if you're TOO rough with them, so not had any problem with it yet.
I don't know who made this Carson rc but they have expensive prices for all. In Germany you find everywhere Carson. I saw In one store a wpl b24 I think with 60e.that was the 1 version. They just rebrand thing and sell for double the money
Hi phil theres a 3rd version of that landrover with opening doors n bonnet int there with a full interior and i think its bigger than both of them int it n its a 1/8th aswell u no wat one im on about
@@williamspruce7084 I think there's 2 sizes, the "1/8" which double e and Carson sell and then the "1/7" that double e sells it has see through windows/interior and more metal parts. Might be all the same size in reality but there's definitely 2 types. The more basic one with stick on windows and the higher quality one with transparent windows.
What happened to the other double EE 1/8 110 you up graded and broke brought drive shafts from your link they dont fit would love to see up date on truck what broke and how you got the drive shafts to link
I broke the Diffs last time out, so just waiting to have time to strip it down.

@@TomleyRC there the ones I used got hobby shop to fit them they recon there having trouble fitting them got me beat I ordered them off your link before it a pity it such a great looking rig
Banggood has that baby on sale right now, the higher grade one is fairly cheap as well. After making my purchase yesterday through your link I browsed around a little and getting the higher grade as well as the 1/18 6x6.
Now that is an absolute joke for £154. RIP OFF doesn't begin to describe the price tag ! It doesn't look much more technical than my New Bright Ford Raptor. The body certainly isn't anywhere near as detailed as a New Bright. I hope this video is seen by plenty of people researching before they buy. Well done for making it Phil 👍
Phil, Great video. This is not worth more than $50.00 US and even at that why would you spend that when you can get a wltoys that is actually way better and you can upgrade and repair the wltoys. In the USA we have a brand called NEW BRIGHT. They look just like this Carson brand and sell for about 50.00 at Wal-Mart. Granted the New Bright are probably even worse with Non-proportional steering and worse shocks etc... Total Junk. Shame how people try to rip off others who do not know or understand anything about RC.
what's nice about NewBright is they're so cheap they fail, then people near give them away or throw them away. slapped a Jeep Rubicon body onto a WPL C-chassis looks really nice!
Good review as always. You just saved a bunch of people money from buying that overpriced truck 👍. I like how your suggested the RGT and other models that are the same price and cheaper thats more hobby grade.
Wonders cease to amaze me, oh cos it's by Carson it must be good! More and more companies importing Chinese stuff and rebranding, look at the latest crawler from Absima!
12428 and its clones can be made pretty beastly without spending a bundle. Steve's (ShenRC) 12428 sure is, and I gave my Virhuck V-01 similar treatment.

this is why we love your reviews, so we do not buy "junk" in comparison to the price
Thanks Edwin... I try to show whats good and bad with all the stuff i review
What a great piece of consumer advice - nicely done, mate! :)
Thanks Mark.... certainly a lemon this one!

Agree!

I've got the bigger hobby grade one as well. Really like it
@@TomleyRC yup, I remember you did a few little mods to it.
Just spend the extra $50 and get a redcat Gen 7 Sport. It's a great entry level crawler.
Agree

That's the Double e official one , John , this one is made by them for Carson , it's complete rubbish , not the same vehicle at all ?

Yes, I have the 'Hobby Grade' one.... much better than this!
Ouch. They cost so much over there?! If I'm buying one from a Chinese online shopping app , it costs about 50 GBP

I returned mine, I had to cut a wire and cover it up to make out it was faulty!
Good choice sending it back!
Nearly a 160 quid for that garbage lol . Nice one for letting us know 👍
No prob's Jack
Thanks for the review bro.. This is what I want to see and I'm sure I don't wanna buy this junk! 🤣🤣
No probs Stephen
Fantastic video Phil , it's good to show how we can get ripped off. It is
A decent truck but for the price they want. 🤨Great honest video 👍
yes a year ago the more toy version wasn't 70 bucks, and the slightly less toy one was about 100.
Thanks Tony. I was pretty shocked when I saw the price!
tomley tell me something. HOW WATERPROOF IT IS????
Splash proof
HOW MUCH WATERPROOF IS IT?
Banggood has that baby on sale right now, the higher grade one is fairly cheap as well. After making my purchase yesterday through your link I browsed around a little and getting the higher grade as well as the 1/18 6x6.
They are hoping people confuse the two and pay top price for the lower quality.
One has opening doors which is of course the higher grade one
I have the bigger Hobby Grade one as well.
Tomley RC I was sure you did
Could you do a review of the SYMA Century 7004 RC boat?
And great video.
Thanks for the info update phil, keeping it real!
No worries mate
Thanks for the honesty. 👍
You're welcome mate
Depender LOL I'd send it back just for that alone.
haha yes
@@TomleyRC To me it's an impulse buy from a toy shop for 50-60 quid max. For that I wouldn't feel hard done by.
it doesn't sound like an elderly person with leakage issues at all, right?
Lmao
And with as cheap as u can get oil filled shocks that would have made a big difference and they shouldn’t have had to charge any more for them
Better yet get the ftx Kanyon instead of the outback 2 :)
The size is amazing but it looks chunky
Yes, looks ok... but doesn't drive too well.
and... sounds CLUNKY!
Nice review,have a great day
Thanks mate
Great video bro!! Great advice! Have a great week!! :-)

Glad your going compare it to the other orange Land Rover look forward to that review buddy! 😁👍
Superbe Vidéo et très beau Modèle RC bravo à vous super comme Toujours
What is your job tomley rc
Definitely a size difference. 👍🏻
Didn't u upgrade it?
No not this one. It was the bigger 'hobby grade' one
It looks really good..150 buk decoration
i have an 90's control tv/vcr watch which had a bigger pcb in it than that truck lol
Probably pay £30 tops for that...utter shite !
Make it hobby grade!
Yeah I saw it for sale on modelsport for £150
Hmm an outback or ravine or Mauler no a toy!
To much work really... Outback would be my choice
@@TomleyRC same can't believe they are charging that you can get some decent bashers for the same price as a toy now
Good review as always. You just saved a bunch of people money from buying that overpriced truck 👍. I like how your suggested the RGT and other models that are the same price and cheaper thats more hobby grade.
Thanks Jon, I like to try and give alternatives when I can

Yes, some shocking stuff coming out...and being stocked over here. I wish some of these hobby shops would test products before deciding to stock them.
price
If it's all proportional I would call it a hobby-grade but a really bad one!
250 nicker near enough on bangood just had a butcher's,my first thought was YOU'RE AVIN A TURKISH AIN'T YA! £255.32
Depender 😂😂😂 I have a 1/18 toy grade which has the exact same 'shocks' They only travel about half a cm. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm not sure you can call them shocks haha
Great info
I'd rather stick with my 12428 and save money
12428 and its clones can be made pretty beastly without spending a bundle.
Steve's (ShenRC) 12428 sure is, and I gave my Virhuck V-01 similar treatment.
If only this was as good as the double e , ive got it and it's complete rubbish ???
Both the same.... but the Bigger 'Hobby Grade' Double E is better than both.
First for once🤣. Also epic vid dude👍🏻.
I know right 😂such a good feeling 😂😂😂
@@y2k.dr3 awesome feeling🤣
How is this expensive
The traxxas trx6 is expensive but not this car
It's expensive for a Toy Grade RC ;)
I think I will give it a miss! Looks crap! Put your money into a tamiya or Traxxas!

Phil doesn't do dishonest reviews, even when they send him stuff free.
seen him bash plenty of stuff and expose what went wrong with them.

thats a piece of cheap shit.I wouldnt give £29 for that !
I buy this is shit.
