Well you can but LED Light Kit for any Traxxas model! They are really nice proportional Taillights everytime u break taillights light up! And front lights have multiple setting dims bright and day light cycle i believe so.....
A lot of the top-end competition kits don't come with lights or anything else other than the parts to build a rolling chassis for that matter. When I got my TLR 8ight 2.0 Race Roller I had to put my own engine, servos, receiver and receiver battery in it since it didn't come with any of those. Of course, I wouldn't consider anything from Traxxas to be even remotely competition grade aside from some of their older nitro models (particularly the JATO) and the "platinum" series rollers.
Kevin: so I added 6 new motors 3 different batteries filled the tires with foam changed the transmitter added some new suspensions a new body that I painted myself and added 15 litres of oil to the traxas but it is mostly stock Me: are you sure about that kev
@@dominicw8868 Yes it is. Sarcasm in itself is being as extra as you can be so its obvious that its a joke. lol to brain dead people who think every persons sense of humor is the same.
Wow, the fact that you are running most of the same obstacles for your large crawlers is really a testament to shoe how capable micro crawlers are. Love your videos btw
I honestly like the way you don’t bash small companies about their cheap made rc cars and you actually give an honest opinion instead of just saying it’s trash. Not everyone like some of us can afford to buy big nice rc cars. Most people call it a pos it what if that pos was the only thing your mom could afford for Christmas? That’s honestly why I watch your videos, thanks man! I would also like to see your setup for the summit, I’m trying to set mine up for more speed, but don’t want to break it every time I drive it.
@@kayz980 i know im joking we drive rcs alot we have 7 cars we have 2 drift cars a xmaxx a stampede a latrax teton aka traxxas a crawler and my old truggy
Kev, Pat & RC Sparks have inspired me to get into the hobby, currently have a crawler project on order. Mostly from Banggood, downside is it'll take about a month for it to show up in the U.S.
Thanks Kevin, been following your videos for nearly 2 years now, you got me back into RC! Thank you for your videos, keep up with the great work and remember: Haters=admirers 😁
Hey man. I apreciate you uploading this video. My brother used to race rc cars and was pretty good. My brother and i dont talk much anymore and this video made me miss him even more. I really wish hed come back around. Thanks for it man. 🤟
I typically don't comment on videos but I watch every one of your videos going back years and years. I'm glad you use us dollar, mph and ft honestly. Your the best rc youtuber by far and I'd hate if everything was meters, kmh and brittish currency. Thanks for all the great content. I just bought my son his first rc car. A used rustler 2wd. Thank you Chad -Ohio, USA
I think the RGT was the best by far. But I do love a trx4 . But I think the element sendero is an amazing value for money crawler . I love mine , it could do with portal axles for sure. Love your indoor crawler courses I need that kinda space haha
I would almost argue that being afraid to hurt something like this kind of impacts the 'usefulness' of it. These kinds of things are for having fun with, and if you're worrying more about damaging it than you are about just having fun with it, I don't know if that's really worth it to me.
Maybe it’s not about having fun I’m not really sure but it kinda like classic car owners that don’t wana scratch their paint or go muddy because they enjoy and appreciate the build of the car then you get people like whistlingdiesel
Got my wltoys 10431 for 45Euro (around 50$). Love it even when compared to stuff I use now this is nothing more than a toy. It was my entry to more hobby grade stuff and to a great hobby in general
Kev, you should get a pizza and actually cut it with pizza cutter tires, get 8s steve or one of your absurd rc cars and cut that pizza up! Just an Idea.
I wish Venom didn't stop making the Creeper. Full competition 2.2" crawler kit for $130. Doesn't come with any running gear but crawler gear generally tends to be cheap regardless. Manual locking diffs with the option to upgrade to remote lock, full aluminum 4-link front and rear, mounts for a rear-steering upgrade and a solid high-torque transmission. Only downside was that the plastics were kinda cheap and fragile, but only to a point. I had mine fall off a 20 foot cliff on the Looking Glass trail and broke a C-hub, which isn't bad but an Axial AX10 would probably have survived that without a scratch. Only other issue is that the setscrews on the diff lockers like to back out. Still, apart from weird diamond in the rough vehicles like that, this video really shows how you tend to get what you pay for with RC, at least when comparing like to like. But at the same time the law of diminishing returns applies once you get past a few hundred.
My partner bought me one similar and I’m going to try and make it into something better, already received some upgrade parts, what do you think my chances are Kev.? Great vid Kev mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Hi Kev. I'm really starting to feel the need to have a scale crawler in my life, lol. on your beloved banggood there's a few for around $200. my question to you is. Which of them is the best bang for my bucks? thanks mate
For anyone reading this, IMHO, save yourself money in the long run and get a quality kit, probably axial. Crawlers are THE most modified class of RC and for good reason. When you get your crawler all set up properly it will perform on a level no stock crawler could. Also, it's going to provide endless hours of fun without hardly ever breaking anything. I must have 30+ HOURS on my SCX10 crawler build since I last had a part break. Getting the drivetrain %100 metal was key. If you buy a cheaper brand/model I reckon you might struggle to reach a level of modification which is capable enough and strong enough to be a 'forever' crawler like you can build with the true hobby grade brands. If you are on a tight budget I recommend starting with a SCX24. For ~$200 you could buy an SCX24, steel beadlocks, and high quality crawler tires. With 'free' mods to the stock shocks (heavy grease, maybe lower ride height via spacers) You would have a fairly capable mini crawler that you will never want to get rid of; and that has the potential to evolve all the way into something competition worthy should you want.
I understand the SCX6 wasn’t released at the time you recorded this video but it’s a real $1,000 crawler and I bet you it would’ve gone up the stairs. I love mine and it’s practically unstoppable
Hey Kevin Talbot... just getting serious about RC Hobby... starting off with the Redcat racing Blackout XTE Pro... just wondering if you've ever done a video on best starter rc tool kit on a budget?... you are Awesome thanks for the great family friendly content
Is it possible to make the cheap one proportional? If we stripped out the electronics and added our own motor on ESC servo and such. What if you did A Series making toys into cool hobby grade RC cars like you did with the monster jam trucks? I would love to see this keep it up Kev!👍
The most important thing to come back with his video is sometimes going overboard with all the best stuff is not actually necessary. I would have liked to seen you use the Redcat with the portal axles against that Traxxas. And do you really think that $200 Servo really helped you. Yep all the shiny bits and night but really you can go overboard with crawlers I think. You kind of display the here. Rock on I'd like to see the lambo
Kevin: I Have been an Rc enthusiast all my life, my first one was an Nikko Lobo and then the Lobo II. Anywho more recently I have been a nothing but nitro guy. Now I want to switch and I was wondering if you could recommend something. 1. Works well indoors and out 2. Customizable 3. Prefer a crawler or 4x4 that's RTR 4. UNDER $200 1/12 or larger. Ty for reading all this
Walmart sells adventure force rock crawler for $50 same basic platform as that $84 and its pretty fun has a long run time and ive bashed it pretty good with no issues. Climbs curbs and various neighbor hood obstacles with ease.
The worst WL toy 104311, until I changed everything under $100 makes it great, of course the bad tiers changed. So for about $250 its very good now. Changing the shocks was better. Thanks!
Another great video Kevin. Have you ever tried a ProTek servo? I recently installed the 370TBL in my X-Maxx 8s and I love it. Loads of torque, speed and its water proof.
I feel like getting a slightly smaller model for the same price would get you more quality, like the ftx outback mini, but then they aren't very good outdoors but are more hobby grade.
There really is no excuse for an RC at $85 to not be fully proportional. The RGT was surprisingly capable when compared to the much more expensive TRX 4! Where the TRX 4 is going to shine, especially how it has been upgraded, is speed.
Kevin I haven't read the other comments watching the video while writing this I would take that $84 crawler do some cheap modifications servo and a new receiver and speed controller and if they're 12 mm hexes see what they are a little better grade tire.... And you may have yourself a good crawler for another hundred and twenty bucks..if that
That is a great idea but from what ive seen of his collection it would take about 912 people and enough lipos to power a house for a week. But i still want to see it
I got one of these wltoys for my 6 year old, he loves it. I would prefer something more sophisticated but can't justify the price for a child. Is there any way to upgrade it? Maybe a good series to show complete upgrades to cheaper models
These videos are awesome. I have turned my notifications on and subbed and I liked the video too. For some reason I have a weird addiction to crawlers that bounce a bit like the $84 one. I should get that.
Everything is dirt cheap compared to the Lambo under that cover

Never was a big Crawler fan, but 84$

No man noo! That car has the exact same mechanics as my 20$ cheapo toy grade rc. There are better options
Dont buy this i think there are better ones but i dont like crawlers too✌️

I don’t know why but this video brought a huge smile to my face
Very thorough review kev. Great video!!! Love it!
Is it possible to make the cheap one proportional? If we stripped out the electronics and added our own motor on ESC servo and such. What if you did A Series making toys into cool hobby grade RC cars like you did with the monster jam trucks? I would love to see this keep it up Kev!👍
Yup with your own electronics you can turn any toy grade into a fully proportional one.
even a cheap RC could get a kid into the hobby. I remember having turn in reverse with a cord cars.

The most important thing to come back with his video is sometimes going overboard with all the best stuff is not actually necessary.

2. Customizable
3. Prefer a crawler or 4x4 that's RTR
4. UNDER $200 1/12 or larger. Ty for reading all this
This cool at least you get all the RC Cars So cool
Walmart sells adventure force rock crawler for $50 same basic platform as that $84 and its pretty fun has a long run time and ive bashed it pretty good with no issues. Climbs curbs and various neighbor hood obstacles with ease.

“Subscribe and smash the Bell button because its Free.” 😂 this got me good.
great info and reviews mate. I got the rustler 2wd metal drive shaft after seeing your review!
I love the suspension flexes, even though, there's almost no weight to put It down. That's really nice tiny engineering :)
I feel like getting a slightly smaller model for the same price would get you more quality, like the ftx outback mini, but then they aren't very good outdoors but are more hobby grade.

There really is no excuse for an RC at $85 to not be fully proportional. The RGT was surprisingly capable when compared to the much more expensive TRX 4! Where the TRX 4 is going to shine, especially how it has been upgraded, is speed.

Kevin I haven't read the other comments watching the video while writing this I would take that $84 crawler do some cheap modifications servo and a new receiver and speed controller and if they're 12 mm hexes see what they are a little better grade tire.... And you may have yourself a good crawler for another hundred and twenty bucks..if that

Also, you should put hobby grade electronics in the $84 crawler! Hobbywing make a dual brushed motor ESC also.
