Man what a sweet little Jeep. Thank you for sharing Alberto and my condolences on the lost of your friend.
It is a cool little guy! Thank you Josh, he was a good man.
Just got one ordered for blk Friday, $200! I'm excited to customize! 3d printed beerholder for backseat to make deliverys to the neighbors. Awesome review
Nice! It's a great car.
The second I saw this on I want to say Big Squid, I wanted one. My other hobby is collecting 1/6 action figures and I've always wanted to convert a DiD 1/6 jeep. Now I don't need to. A bit of advice, stick to Barbie there. You don't want to get into 1/6. It can be just as, if not more of a money pit than RC.
I hear you man....I have a 1:1 collection so I would stick to 1:6...LOL!
You did a great job with the trailer. It is a wonderful military RC car. But the Barbie doll is more eye-catching. It's a joke. I enjoyed watching the video. thank you.😁👍👍👍
HAhahaha! Thank you!
Please note, at 21:27 the slow procession around the dig site, soon to be the tomb containing the rc4trailfindermini LUL Excellent vid mate, that "jeep" is one fantastic piece of kit!
How did you know.....
😱
Watching this it reminds me of MASH a old tv program 👊🏻👍🏻
I thought the same haha! It has a cool vibe about it.
Looks Great!! I'm sure you will make some great 3D parts for this jeep. Like better mounts for the soft top.I have both and i the 1/12th version of this better. I also make my own light systems in most cases too. It's just so much cheaper and less wire. Thanks For Sharing!!
Thanks! Yeah usually i do also but I wanted something quick to throw in there. Kit harnesses are a mess of wires.
I've been considering one of these for my original GI Joe to ride around in - looks like he would fit and be about the right scale.
Great video!!!
Yeah I think it is just about that scale (given barbie). It really is an amazing jeep.
I am curious as to how that played out. I expect that you found that Joe fit reasonably well, except you couldn’t put his feet on the pedals, and getting him to hold the steering wheel in a way that the steering wheel and arm could move realistically was problematic.
@@JoeOvercoat After a serious look at that jeep I bought bike parts... eBike conversion kits for a couple of greenway bikes we were not getting much use out of - getting a lot of miles now!
@@Falasi4 I went to your page to see if you had put a G.I. Joe in the jeep and I saw these bicycling videos and I thought, “Who puts bicycling videos on their RC pa…oh wait, right. I do.”
@@JoeOvercoat Indeed! My youtube is open for all but mostly a handy way to share with friends/family. Good reminder I was going to do a series on all my old RC from late 80's early 90's.
the chains on the trailer just clip to the can holders on the bumper no drilling is required.
Interesting, didnt notice those for some reason.
just bought this thing thank you
Sure thing! It's a great jeep.
Dangerous barbie, driving around with a machine gun 😁. I myself prefer the 1/6scale scene and have a few jeeps, the capo suzuki jimny, an NewBright Discovery3 landrover and a scratch build LS Mail jeep I am working on as we speak. Nice review👍
Yeah you do not want to mess with her...hahahah!
4:25 military vehicles are truly austere. Those are called plates: Nomenclature Plate, Weight & Balance…etc. One can find those plates detailed on the system drawing,where in turn there will be a dimensioned drawing for each plate that dictates the data elements & font. So yah, an authentic detail.
9:28 That’s the headlight for when you don’t want an airplane to come strafe you, or blow you up (all other lights off). Or a sniper or even artillery for that matter…but fundamentally it is about the air threat. You will see vehicles with slits in covers on the lights for the same purpose.
Good to know. Thanks!
Nice video man 👍
Thank you!
I like it, reminds me of hound from the transformers 👍
That was my thought too! I didn't mention it since I think Hound is a Mitsubishi and didn't want people shouting at me.
jeep so cool, nice work
It really is awesome!
Surprised how well it crawls with those skinny tires!
Guy at 25:35 is the same scale as Barbie!
Blew me away. You would think, looking at those tires, the truck would not do anything but they are so soft that they do have some grip.
the light in question is to be a black out light
Yeah that fender one. There is also one on the RocHobby kommandeurwagen. These cars are so well done.
Like your rear lights - can you tell me more about that 🙂
If you go on ebay, you can find all kinds of cheap light kits for RC cars. Search "RC CAR LIGHTS" and see if you can locate one with 5mm LED's. Usually, they are 4 whites in the front and 4 reds in the back. They plug into the receiver.
Where did you buy the lights and what are they called? I need specifics please I wanna do the same!!
Oh there were on ebay. Search "RC Car lights" and there are some with two 5mm white and two 5mm red LED's. They are simple, cheap sets.
Looks like you need to flip the frame for the canvs roof so the support that is bent should be the front and lower.
You think thats the problem? I tried that off camera and it look just as weird. In fact, if you look at promo stuff...it looks like mine...not so great.
@@AMPROEngineering The 1:1 has the straight bar in the rear and the bent bar forward, where the bend faces forward. The windshield on these FMS rigs really snaps into place, but if any one snap is not closed it will push the window forward (more vertical).
Perfekt for me,
It's a great jeep
@@AMPROEngineering i have Jeep Willy 1942 1:6 and 1:12 👋😃 👍👍👍👍 and i have the MG gune
Cool lighting system, so originally the jeep lights stay on all the time or can you control them like the 1/12 version?
They can be controlled like the 1/12 version. I was bummed that it didnt just come with a full light set.
Eu estou com um desses, vendendo barato. completão com peças e acessórios extras, controle, duas baterias, tuuuudo perfeito. Vendo por 2.300 - Frete por conta do comprador.
Boa sorte! É um caminhão legal
I love how you take the piss out of the American jeep by having it driven by a Barby doll. All jokes aside tho. I have the cheapest one of these you can buy for $350.00 AU and it is an amazing rock crawler. I have a rock crawler cause in my backyard with steep banks and smooth slate rocks the 1/10 scale rock crawlers challenge with but the jeep takes it on like it was a Sunday walk through the park.
Yeah I dont have any GI Joes so the best I could do was borrow one of my daughters Barbie's, haha It is a solid performer for sure but like all the other FMS jeeps, pulled from the market due to copyright issues.
Very nice video. Where did you get the extra lights that you installed? I really like those. Great addition!
OH thanks! So I got them on ebay. I would send a link but guess what, the seller that sold them isnt there anymore. So annoying. Search "RC Car Lights" and you will find some like it.
I'm just curious about the steering wheel. Maybe I saw another brand or possibly a different scale one? I thought the steering wheel turned with the front wheels?
It does. I had the doll attached to the wheel and when it turned she would fall over so I disconnected it. You can it it moving during the review.
@@AMPROEngineering okay got it. I've not purchased this kit, just saw the RUclips videos. I've installed "Yeah Racing X DarkDragonWing Motion Steering Wheel" kits in 3 of my RCs and used some of the Amazon "action" figures. So I'm just comparing apples & oranges.
I really do enjoy your reviews. I have picked up some interesting ideas. So please keep it up
I bet some Filipino dude will convert these into the colorful and flashy "Passebger Jeepneys" lol
Im down. LOL
What battery did you wind up using
I used some 2S batteries that I have. They are on the smaller side since I like all my batteries to fit all my cars.
It would not be you if you did not tinker and put your spin on it.
The Jeep was designed for four burly GI's and the handles were so if it got stuck or hung up the four occupants could lift it up and get it to where it was able to move under it's own steam.
The shame is that they used coil springs instead of leaf springs as they were designed to have I wish ROC Hobby had gone that route or a third party company made a conversion kit, I know there were kits for some Axial crawlers.
One of those box's clips to the gun itself and the bullet chain runs in to the gun from it the other is to catch the casings as they drop from the gun, so mounts to the left of the gun and the feed can is to the right.
I had a 1-1 for many years and it did end up on coil's as I kept snapping leaf's and the ride was awful, this does ride as the 1-1 though so I suppose a good compromise. And yes they were tiny so perfectly in scale with the huge SCX6 which I am toying with getting as I only have large scale gas and a couple of electric a UDR and a SBR, I enjoy this type of video seeing where you go with the vehicle, oh and the wiper arms were green to stay with the camouflage theme, some even came with the rubber painted also as they did very little masking once in the armies hands. The fender light should operate with the blackout side lights not rear and head lights it is a convoy light usually they have a white circle painted on the rear axle housing for the one behind to follow.
Im so glad there are people like you who are totally knowledgeable about these things. Thank you for the information, I know nothing about jeeps at all! I agree that leaf springs would have been better but I think the majority of people would have complained about the lack of articulation, not knowing that one of these jeeps is not 4 linked.
@@AMPROEngineering Surprising enough you would get the same amount of movement from the scale leaf springs, I have seen a couple of home built Willy's jeeps built with the leaf spring set up and yep drove even more scale like, but I must admit this one moves very much how mine did until I swapped to coils on my 1-1, oh and the casing collection can usually only caught about 20% of the used casing's.
reveiws on unboxing.. i would also talk about what i would do..
so.. do you know anyone besides me that took a ravan LT 4wd SC 45cc 2yr waiting list.. into a dually?..
i was.. but need to make adapters with tap&die cuz the ones i bought wrong threads.. lol
Wow, that would be a cool build! I do not know Anyone who did that!
@@AMPROEngineering its the cartwheeling i may snap an axle.. they love to cartwheel like a cheerleader lol
there's a body prop if you look under top piece lol
I couldnt find it weirdly.
@@AMPROEngineering sadly.. it was added
friend did it like my redcat cage..
sorry.. he added one..
can you get upgrades for this?
I do not know. Fair RC sells replacement parts and people customize these crawlers a lot but I dont know if there are upgrade parts specifically for this.
I want one! I do sort of find it annoying that it doesn’t come with a battery.
Usually they do so that was weird.
@@AMPROEngineering I ordered one!! It’s on the way. Ordered batteries too. Still kind of annoyed, but decided it wouldn’t stop me lol.
bar hook to hole in pintle hitch.. for chains ;) my hobby friend.. if i was allowed to make $$ & not kept from 1986 settlement.. i'd share.. my works.. rc.. nasa be proud off kept from them
Nice! That would have worked well!
🤣🤣🤣 the Jeep on the box is so warbled and out of proportion
LOL i never noticed that!
Barbie’s blouse doesn’t really go with her skirt otherwise this was a great video
True. I think the blouse goes well with the browning though. :)
nerf bars to crawl
Hell yes, that's needed.
WHEN YOU TESTED THE STEERING EARLY IN THE VIDEO. THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED WITH THE WHEEL'S LIKE IT SHOULD, BUT WHEN YOU TESTED THE STEERING WITH THE REMOTE. THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T TURN WITH THE WHEEL'S EVEN AFTER YOU SCREWED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK ON AFTER IT FELL OFF. WHAT HAPPENED? AS FAR AS THE MACHINE GUN. I DIDN'T PUT THE BULLET'S ALL THE WAY IN LIKE THE GUN LIKE YOU DID, BECAUSE MY BULLET'S WERE JUST HANGING STRAIGHT OUT LIKE THEY WERE JUST FLOATING THERE. IN REAL LIFE. THERE ARE SEVERAL LAYERS OF BULLET'S IN THE AMMO BOX, SO WHEN THE GUN IS BEING USED THEY ARE ACTUALLY ANGLED DOWN AS THEY COME OUT OF THE BOX. WHAT I DID. I PUT THE FIRST BULLET RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE GUN AS IF IT'S JUST GOING IN. THIS ALLOWS THE REST OF THE BULLET'S TO HANG DOWN ENOUGH TO LOOK AS IF THEIR COMING OUT OF THE AMMO BOX. IT MAKES IT LOOK ALOT MORE REALISTIC. ON THE OPTIONAL HITCH. YOU TIGHTEN THE SCREW ON THE RIGHT SIDE WITH A 1.5 MM HEX TOOL TO KEEP IT FROM OPENING. THE HOOK'S HANG FROM THE REAR BUMPERS WHERE THE NUMBER'S ARE. NO NEED TO DRILL HOLES. THE AMMO BOX CONNECTS TO THE TOP RIGHT UNDER THE BULLET'S. THEY ALSO SELL WWII 12 INCH MILITARY FIGURES ON AMAZON. THEY FIT PERFECTLY WITH THE JEEP. SORRY IF I SEEM SO PICKY, BUT I'VE BEEN DOING RC, AND BUILDING MILITARY DIORAMA'S FOR 50 YEAR'S. I GUESS I'VE JUST LEARNED TO PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL. ENJOYED YOUR REVIEW. THANK YOU.
For the steering, I unplugged it on accident. Very cool info! This thing is totally rebuilt as a road going jeep now. No more military. You can see it in IS by Michaelplatypus. It is all yellow.
I mean on instagram.
The canvas top looks nothing like what is sold these days,
There is no Velcro /Tabs anywhere. Instead a sleeve for the forward bar and a single rope strand at each rear corner.
And this canvas topper requires some tension to keep the grommets placed on the windshield studs. It will require some tension or silicone dabs to hold them in place.
A lot of changes and QC was not actually checked to verify that it will fit - work.
I even got a one piece transmitter with mine. So expect inconsistencies when buying from China. Besides the extremely detailed body. Attention to detail is not in the MFGR's forte.
I'll expect more issues as I look about and attempt to run this thing.
This isn't my review. But if I were going to rate this thing out of 5, I'd have to give it a 2. 🤨 I'm rather disappointed with my purchase. The Axial SCX6 or even the first SCX-10 is way better built and has some American QC in their MFG'ing. Expect 0 quality control coming out of China and its copy cat MFGR's!
Don't believe all these youtube reviewers ! They are simply like parrots enthralled by a shiny metal object ! That or they work for China 😏
This is not what I saw on my car. Mine was rock solid and to this day, a great truck. Do not blame China for lack of QC, blame people who wont pay for good products. This is an old review and I do not know what has happened since then.
wow.. its QUIET runner
Yeah it is. Silent.
You trying to say I don't pay or don't know what quality RC's are ?
My Axial SCX6 would call you full of s--t ! 🤨
My vehicle has been outstanding and the overall reviews on it reflect that. Any complaints should be taken up with the manufacturer.
I am totally not into weathered stuff. It looks bad and it's fake.
When I have seen it done right, it's pretty amazing but I hear you, I am not a fan of making something look worse.
@@AMPROEngineering You put it better and I agree with you. I like how people apply weathering techniques and that some do it very very well and that's that.
