Wow , a big beast !. Looks great and seems to be very well made . Really like the how the body lifts with no cable salad hanging down . Looking forward to seeing how it performs. Great video Vas 👍. Thanks.
What a beauty! Love it! Thanks, Vas. Your unboxings/reviews are allways fully packed with usefull info. Edit: The body is held up in place same as the Absima Sherpa and it's a pretty convenient feature.
Thank you so much. Yes, agreed, the body design is well thought out and makes it easy to access the internals when needed. Thanks again for stopping by. 😎👍
I'm a crawler guy, just great watching you have a go and lots of laughter, you'd cringe if you saw me jumping & flipping haha! Can't wait for this truck to hit the UK, I use this type as a trail truck. Long mountain walks in high gear with low gear for crawling spots. Not a fan of the TRX4 and used to run a fleet of Defenders so this really interests me. Your videos have been extremely helpful when choosing my last few rigs, thank you from Wales!
@user-us I love the Bluetooth app feature. I'm not a fan of Traxxass at all, never owned one, probably never will be an owner. I'm older and from the race scene so I favor Losi over a lot of others. However I've been noticing trucks like this and full blown crawlers. I haven't pulled the trigger on anything in over a decade, I hate buyers regret lol. My only concern with this is the 1/8th sizing. I've only dealt with 1/10th, so how hard would this thing be to hop up later on or simply maintain? I asked you due to you saying you had a fleet of Defenders lol.
@@jhrubicon1470 I meant a fleet of real ones! I had 15 at work, all in various states of disrepair and mostly held together with hope and bailing twine. Really bonded with the old jalopies and want a 1/10 scale but not a Traxxas. My favourite crawler is the FTX Tracker, (RGT outside UK), versatile and easy to find parts etc. I also wonder about parts and upgrading since I think this is their first larger crawler.
@@Kayvoo-d7b the performance in the video was great for a RTR imho. The odd motor size is a bit of a concern and I also think the tires could have been a bit taller, but that may require body trimming which is nothing when reaching 1/10th buggies & stadium trucks but this would be my first "scale look" rc, so I would hesitate to do much trimming. Do you know a different platform that performs as well as the h8h? I already have a radio & receiver (DDF-350 w/ 6ch receiver) seemed like a really good deal. I also have a 3900kv 550 and 45kg servo. Just need a ESC if I buy a roller kit. I still have my Novak brushed ESC, which is 100% cool but out dated & I don't want to fry it lol. Ty for helping me decide on what I should get btw.
Yes, already ran it, just need to edit and upload video. Will hopefully be running it again on Friday so I'll have a couple of running videos out soon. 😎 Thanks heaps for stopping by. 🤙
@@AussieRCPlayground Cheers m8, I'm new on this world and I'm thinking about getting this one in particular. I've seen some general recommendations about the size of the batteries, but I'm still quite confused about the C-rating. Do you know which of the following ones may be better for this car and why? - 3S 5000mAh 35C LiPo - 3S 5300mAh 60C LiPo - 3S 15000mAh 100C LiPo Thank you :)
C rating = discharge rating. Think of it as the battery's own fuel pump - the higher the C rating, the stronger the pump. A higher C rating is always better, it means the battery won't work as hard when higher amp draw occurs or it will stay cool and likely last you longer if used in an RC that doesn't pull manu amps. Amp draw is determined and starts at the motor - size and kV. Then you take into account the weight of the car and gearing. Then add any external resistance, such as the terrain you run on and the incline of the road. Essentially, amp draw is load - the more resistance you have in the system, the bigger the load = high amp draw. Using a high C rating battery won't harm your RC, the battery doesn't push the power to the RC, it's the motor that pulls it. So if you can run a high C rating, do it. A good way to determine if the battery you pic is suitable for the job is to do a bit of math. Take the mAh amount and decide it by 1000. Then times that by the C rating. Example; 5000mah 35C 5 x 35 = 175amps. If you truck is running a 60amp ESC, this battery will be plenty. However, if your truck is running a 150amp ESC, I'd probably go for 50C+ battery just to give yourself some headroom for those spikes in power. Hope that helps, but if you need more info, let me know.
That cutoff voltage in the app is nuts. 3.2 volts as the highest cutoff ? What ? 3.0 volts as "medium" cutoff voltage? 2.8 volts as "lowest" cutoff voltage? Do MJX know that most chargers won't let you recharge your battery if it goes below 3.0 volts per cell ? That boggles the mind. It'll sure help them sell more batteries, but that's a terrible idea for safety and longevity of your packs. Hobbywing be like: 3.8 volts for high cutoff, 3.6 volts for medium and 3.4 volts for low. I have a battery sitting in my house at this minute that got down to 2.85 on one cell, with the other 2 cells at 2.9 and it won't charge. That is insane, MJX. Completely bonkers. I put LVC at 3.6 as the lowest I'm comfortable with. I don't know what possessed them to use 2.8 and 3.0 or 3.2 LVC settings. That's an off-brand ESC, or they went into the programming settings and took a hacksaw to them. Not acceptable. Otherwise, it looks very interesting, just not for me, especially at that price, and considering my past experience with MJX "warranty" support, which was all lip service and no action.
The standard retail price for these is $750. Mine is on load from the distributor, so I didn't pay for it, but also not mine to keep. www.frontlinehobbies.com.au/mjx-1-8-allrock-4wd-brushless-rc-crawler-grey?srsltid=AfmBOoqvI_bQSzQPrMS5neGkgCaAARHrheJc8efhe7irl-_o3HcKsXFJ
Love the fact that MJX is coming out with larger scale Rc's finally 👍🤙😎
Beautiful presentation of the truck and very useful clues to operate it.😄
Vas with a crawler! 😱👀 Never thought I would see the day. This truck looks very cool 👍
Haha, thanks. 😁👍
カッコイイですね👍
自分もピンク買いました😊
実車はデカいです👍👍👍

Looking forward to the running video. As the concept of mild bashing and trailing/crawling with the same truck interests me very much!
Coming soon! I'm keen to see this in action as well. 😎
awsome unboxing and review of an amazing rig great job bro.👌✌👍
new subs👍💪

It's different, I like it
Wow... spettacolare... ciao dall'Italia
I just wanted to say hello
Looks like a fun rig
Thanks. Hi. 🙂
Is it original blue alluminium comparments?
cool bit of kit. love your channel mate
Thanks 😎👍
Can you make a short video showing how this compares to a 1/10 scale crawler?
Hello Vas, thank you very much for the review!
Do you plan on doing a test video?
Yes, already ran it, just need to edit and upload video. Will hopefully be running it again on Friday so I'll have a couple of running videos out soon. 😎
Thanks heaps for stopping by. 🤙
Hi Vas, do you know which battery size and type are recommended for this model?
Cheers!
It will run on either a 2S or 3S LiPo. After running it, I would recommend using a 3S, but 2S is OK if you have nothing else.

got one - yellow also - and its my first rock roller coz its in my opinion not crowler ;l) this is a kind of rock basher :)
how much did u get urs for, ive see prices as high as 800, and as low as 370
The standard retail price for these is $750. Mine is on load from the distributor, so I didn't pay for it, but also not mine to keep.

Strange, I'm in the Middle East and I owned this car about three months ago or a little more.
👍
Battery included to the rc or not?
No.
@AussieRCPlayground what battery do you recommend please.
MJX
Yes, it is.
