I'm watching this whilst sipping my morning tea... This reminds me of the last time I saw the MRAP in Iraq 2007. This model is very close to what I remember, however it wasn't explosion-proof, but it did a good job of protecting the troops when it encountered a blast.
I think many of them now are designed to protect the occupants and shed parts and like that when they actually hit a big IED in the road. Trucks can be repaired or replaced, people can't. Some of the old South African trucks were huge reinforced barrels on wheels that were designed to be easily fixed when the driveline and axles got blown off, and many have the armored wedges underneath to deflect the blast and shrapnel away from the floor.
Being a military fan and supporter I really like the look of this, love the scale and it has one of the very few sound modules that actually sound OK, most sound awful but this one don't.. Cool video mate. 👍
Thank you for making this video and taking the time to show how to have your headlights running all the time worked out perfectly. I'm not too tech savvy but thank God I'm also not afraid to try things out. PLease note you guys wire colors can be different on your truck best way so you don't pull the wrong ones is to look under your body check the wire color coming out of the head lamps before hand as mine were green and white!!
Not really my speed, but you can't help being impressed by the scale detail and the features they thought to include. I think "Absolutely mad!" perfectly describes it. 😉👍 I ended up here because I saw the engine on Banggood and thought someone had put together an actual working scale diesel engine for RC vehicles until the price sent me digging deeper. I kind of knew it was bonkers to think such a thing existed, but I took a 35 year break from my interest in RC and some of the things available today for ridiculously low prices still surprise me after a few months of coming back up to speed. 😉 Not that I'm complaining. There's still plenty of stuff in the "ridiculous for a toy" category for me, but that's to be expected. It's just plain awesome to me that I was able to buy a nitro powered, just about RTR except for fuel and starter rally car, for what a brushed motor and ESC would have cost in 1985. And it's supposedly 1/10th scale, but is somehow considerably larger than my 10th scale drift car, if you go by what size miniature Stig you'd need for the cockpit. Seems it's common in RC to liberally interpret the meaning of "scale", at least for bodies. If you were to put a pickup truck body on my car, it would probably be about 10th scale but with a freakishly wide stance I think. I'm pretty sure that if I were to measure my rally car's wheel base and track width and compare it with a full size rally car's dimensions it'd be appropriate for comic book use, but I won't let that interfere with my enjoyment of ripping this little wonder of technology across hill and dale. 😉😎 Happy motoring everybody! 😁👍
Great stuff Phil - I sat here with a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea, enjoying the show! Beats watching the TV, hands down! Sure is a beast mate! :-) 👍👍👍GB
Phil, I was already chuckling at your idea of buying a non-descript box like at the beginning, but then when I saw 'Explosion Proof Car' I nearly fell off the couch. It's a pretty impressive rig and I'm intrigued by the center locked axle. Interesting choice on their behalf but it seems to pull through the mud fairly well.
Watch the official video on RUclips an you Will see they blow up this trucks. An were not talking small explosions the trucks lifted off the ground. But as it says explosion proof, an after seeing the video you Will know it absolutely is explosion proof!! It's a MUST SEE video.
Cracking model, really cool, nice mods to the main lights, can the indicators be made switchable? Also the speed control seems a bit on/off, can that be adjusted to be smoother?
Love it truckin thru the water! What a great shot. What about fpv camera in driver seat? Also can GoPro session 5 fit in turret. Might get some cool perspective
Yes, would look awesome! (ps... can you confirm you have messaged me about the giveaway... and that I have replied to you. Just so I know it's not someone else messaging me. Cheers
Nice piece of kit Im in awe of the detail Im not into military trucks so not of much interest to me personally. Wish they'd do something like an American tow truck or say a rescue vehicle with this level of detail!
Nice video and instructions for that light system. About that smoke unit, I had them on my Heng Long Tanks and you need to top it up, otherwise the heating element will burn out.
Out 16 radio channels how many are actually used on this truck? Also Is there any way to program one of the switches or knobs to start the sound system without using the throttle stick to start the it?
Nice video.........thanks for sharing from the Big Apple!!!! I recently ordered this vehicle and your headlight tweak will be my first mod.......cheers mate!!!!! Did I say that right????
@@TomleyRC That's impressive!!!! I have two 6200mah lipo's that I rotate in my HG HEMTT so I'll use one of them and I hope to get btwn 1:30 and 2hrs runtime. I was thinking a suspension mod might be in order for improved articulation.
Awesome vid! I purchased the hummer. Can't wait for it. Just one request. Could you please show how you hooked up your FlySky radio on yours? I want to do the same to mine and use my DX6 G3. Thanks!
Nice RC, love the details. Maybe some open cell foam inside the engine bay might bring the noise down from the engine fan. That beastie needs a crew. Great vid Phil.
I watched your video several times now,still digging this truck. I like how you explained how to leave the headlights on. But just curious,is there a way to turn the lights on and off via a switch on the radio? That would be sweet if you can
The fan in the engine is on different speed's you can set it at so not to whining! A Mk3 Husky with the interrogation arm would be absolutely amazing to have next with an mrap atv! Then possibly the buffalo with the ied arm and slat armour! I love the mraps the Maxx pro is a beast of a thing to! I'd need get new UHF Nato antennas for it or 2 UHF amd 2 GPS pole type they look awesome antennas on the mraps the GPRS system
For some reason my First comment is missing. Anyways, do you have an idea where the Control Unit for the Sound is? I cant find it 😬 please help me, im desperate
You have to remove the body shell (2 screws in front,2 middle and 2 rear) and then remove the seat section (2 screws up front and 2 in the back) and it should be under the seat section. Careful putting the seats back as you have to line it up perfectly and make sure all wires are out of the way. There's only 1 black wire for the turret that goes through the interior. Hope this helps
@@euroboyrc not a problem man. Hope this helped. I forgot to add that I found having a longer 2mm hex works better. The factory hex driver that's included works but you have to push the front of rear fenders in a bit and me personally didn't like that.
@@TomleyRC not a problem,everytime I buy a new rc I always tear them down completely to get to know my way around them and to make sure everything is greased up and look for any problems. Which I'm glad I did as that's how I found the corroded motor. But it's all good as my new 55T will be here today 😎👍. Can't wait to get my P602 up and running
@@TomleyRC I mean if the wheels turn proportionally and not suddenly, if the speed is also progressive and proportional and not only two speeds and if the indicators can be controlled independently by the radio control and not only automatically if the vehicle turns to the right or to the left ?
You can try shapeways. Don't know much about them but I heard they're a 3D printing company and people buy stuff from them. You can also try the aampro guy. He has lots of rc stuff in 3D print.
I think there is a 'trim' for the gear change servo, just can't remember which switch it is, but sounds like it needs fine tuning . As for the volume, I think you have to use the buttons on the actual sound unit.
@@amadorgonzales2608 sound unit is under the interior. There's 6 screws for the body (2 up front,2 middle by fender and 2 rear) then there's 4 screws for the interior (2 front and 2 rear). Once interior is removed it should be visible 👍. Hope this helps and I can't adjust the volume on my radio either. The plug is there on the sound unit but I can't figure out where it goes. But you can adjust the volume manually on the unit itself
I'd like to have it but I have a alot other rc's collecting dust.. Still waiting for the correct trailer set up for my hg 801/802's The crane is cool but kinda slowish I am on the fence about getting that
I’m one of the lucky ones that gets to test these. I do also work 40hrs a week in a full time job though, and have 2 kids....... it’s not all Beer n Butterflies 😎🤟
Absolutely beautiful rig! I really like looking at all of HG's military vehicles.

They are pretty special, lots of different types used by military forces all over!
I think many of them now are designed to protect the occupants and shed parts and like that when they actually hit a big IED in the road. Trucks can be repaired or replaced, people can't.

This was the video I was looking for , to see these 6x6 in mud!
Thanks dude

👍👍👍GB
Bacon Sandwich.... Red or Brown Sauce?
@@TomleyRC Daddies brown, mate! :D
Looking forward to the full run vid. Thank you.
No prob''s dude. Edited....should be up soon 👍
Looks more awesome everytime I see it! It is a BEAST !
Love this thing, cool vid. Thanks for posting.
You are welcome
Super video nice touch getting it stuck and using the winch
Its nicely scaled...Amazing r/c
Wow, nice 6x6 truck.

It's a pretty impressive rig and I'm intrigued by the center locked axle. Interesting choice on their behalf but it seems to pull through the mud fairly well.
It went really well. Strangely the centre axle is not locked anymore? Maybe it was very thick grease? Or the pin has broken!
Says "explosion proof" on the box..... Now there's a test!! 🤣 🤣
haha.... Dynamite on order dude 😎
6x6 vs tannerite
Watch the official video on RUclips an you Will see they blow up this trucks. An were not talking small explosions the trucks lifted off the ground. But as it says explosion proof, an after seeing the video you Will know it absolutely is explosion proof!! It's a MUST SEE video.
Can’t wait till mine arrives looks great👍🏼
Arctic Noodle arrived?!
Send us a video of it then plz bud because I am looking at them ??
Yes we spoke both on your Facebook page, as well on messenger. You gave me a blue thumbs up. We spoke Wednesday morning my time 3:04 am
Thank you
@@TomleyRC you are welcome and thank you.
Cracking model, really cool, nice mods to the main lights, can the indicators be made switchable?
Also the speed control seems a bit on/off, can that be adjusted to be smoother?
It was probably my driving lol. Low Gear is pretty smooth
@@TomleyRC Ha, ha, understood!
That thing is a beast!
Yes... it's awesome!
I´m dying to see the full run vid - the winching and wading footage looks tremendous!
It was a good run, although need to lock the diffs and give it a proper mud test soon!
Is this able to be used in mud and puddles or is it more of a display item?
Nice video! When you say you sold one of your trucks, where do you sell them? Thanks!
Used to sell them on eBay. But don’t anymore
Love it truckin thru the water! What a great shot. What about fpv camera in driver seat? Also can GoPro session 5 fit in turret. Might get some cool perspective
Good idea with the Hero Session.....I actually had it in my pocket while filming! Missed opportunity! Next time.....
You’re right. This a great RC.
Cheers Russ
Pretty cool . this vehicle would be a cool apocoliptic ride, that would be how my friends would paint it. Lol, anyways pretty cool none 5he less.
Yes, would look awesome! (ps... can you confirm you have messaged me about the giveaway... and that I have replied to you. Just so I know it's not someone else messaging me. Cheers
How so realistic military Car ❣️❣️🚗
Nice piece of kit Im in awe of the detail Im not into military trucks so not of much interest to me personally. Wish they'd do something like an American tow truck or say a rescue vehicle with this level of detail!
the tow truck would be awesome
Agreed 👍
Congrats! I wish I had enough money for this 😂😂
Great video ... do you know if the diffs can be locked to get true 6x6 drive?
Yes, looks like they can 👍
Unbelievable what an amazing rc
Nice video and instructions for that light system. About that smoke unit, I had them on my Heng Long Tanks and you need to top it up, otherwise the heating element will burn out.

Out 16 radio channels how many are actually used on this truck? Also Is there any way to program one of the switches or knobs to start the sound system without using the throttle stick to start the it?
From what I heard,though I could be wrong,like 6-7 channels operate everything
Loved it great video man
Cheers dude
@@TomleyRC when you goi g to do your giveaways I didnt miss them did i?
Good stuff Tomley. I'd love to see you do a little weathering video on this one. Pretty please with rust on top? ;)
haha...maybe
Can this take a 11.1 lipo as I've been told you only get 20 mins run time out of a 7.4 with this truck
I've not tried a 11.1v... but run time is all down to the battery capacity. I get over an hour with a 5000mah 7.4v
Hi,
Can the gun turret and related parts be removed and if so is there a blank plate cover?
Thank you
It can be removed by a few screws but theres no cover plate. I'm sure it can easily be made from styrene tho
Nice video.........thanks for sharing from the Big Apple!!!! I recently ordered this vehicle and your headlight tweak will be my first mod.......cheers mate!!!!! Did I say that right????
Cheers dude. It’s such a nice rig! I had a good hrs worth of running on 1 4500mah Lipo!

how did you mount the rear ladder? Can't find the screw holes.
Great stunt car 👍👍👍👍
If I'm going to spend that much I'll go with CrossRC. Interesting to see though.
I don't understand how you adjust the lights. The top light flashes continuously
It’s one of the buttons on the controller
@@TomleyRC Thanks a lot...
That! is a beast! lovely truck, at some point i need to save up for something like this
Awesome vid! I purchased the hummer. Can't wait for it. Just one request. Could you please show how you hooked up your FlySky radio on yours? I want to do the same to mine and use my DX6 G3. Thanks!
I just removed the old receiver and then added the new one in its place. Just take a photo of the old one so you know which channels go where.
Hello friend, SERVOS and MFC need special insulation to walk on water ground or not?
Nice RC, love the details.
Maybe some open cell foam inside the engine bay might bring the noise down from the engine fan.
That beastie needs a crew.
Great vid Phil.
Haha 😆 I was really drinking a cup of coffee I took ya advice mate
haha.... good stuff :)
What a straight beast, how much does it weigh? Thanks for being a part of this great hobby.👍✊
About 10kgs I think? It's a beast!
Someone needs to jam one of those tiny little V8s In one of these. I think they’re called something like Toyan
That's a real beast!
Hello,Where can you order one and what is the price.
Link in the description
You need to get yourself some fireworks (firecrackers and bottle rockets) and simulate an attack!!! That would be awesome! Lol
haha...yeah, would be awesome!
Wish HG had done all these in 1/16 to go with all the tanks
Yeah, that would be cool.
what a beast! it'd be really neat if there were a half track mod available to slap onto it.
That would be cool!

Yes there is
Amizing military rc truck... How much the price of thise kind rc truck guy's. I want to buy for my kid...
How did you make yours safe to run on water?
You just have to be careful how deep you go. The ESC & Servo is Waterproof
Amazing video
Good video !! Thanks !! 😀
No probs dude
