Love the video phil the cars both performed very well considering the weather conditions all the wood sections were like driving on vaseline the trx 4 had the better tyres also quite a bit taller side wall so the ykon would have a much greater ground clearance running the same wheels, thank for giving me the opportunity to drive both cars they are a good match but the ykon wins the beauty contest hands down
Yes 100% agree Lenny. Both good Crawlers, and the Yi-Kong shouldn't be dismissed just because it's a relatively unknown brand. Once the Prolines were on it was unstoppable!
@@TomleyRC for 1:10 scales, how would you rate Axial scx, Absimas cr3.4, trx-4? I’m considering jumping from scx24 to 1:10 scale but not sure where the money is best spent… would prefer brushless in any case.
That’s probably down to Lenny who was driving. And it has the awesome 1080 ESC, makes it nice and smooth. I wanted to test a RTR TRX4, but had to make do with what I had
Both trucks seem to perform well but if I were 2 choose I would get the blue truck. Mainly as I personally had nothing but bad luck with traxxas trucks in the past,lol.
2 years ago the price was the same 😮 I have an orange 21 bronco... car was 599 plus 100 for lights. The Absima Kambra 2 speed lockable diffs, and full light kit is currently 299 if you get green or 10 more for other colours. Crazy. Think I might buy 1, go with the rest of my collection. I used my 8s xmaxx once now that sits un-used 😂 I'm neither a traxxas fan boy nor a hater but they need to either drop the stupid price tag or make it worth the price. Interestingly I made a smallish crawler course in my garden, the "stock" trx4 couldn't climb a wet slippery slope that the "stock" ftx kanyon went straight up. Will have to see how the absima does on it!
I've been running a Yikong 4102 Pro for a wuile and I love it. (mine's actually an Absima (Sherpa 3.4) which is one of the two brands selling that model in Europe, the other one being Amewi). Great build quality, amazing body, full light kit, full spares availability and some upgrades. Other aftermarket brands are also making upgrades for them, which is awesome! :)
Looking at the 4102 pro from Yikong, I am new at the sport of crawling. I see many 1/10 scale crawlers that look exactly the same at the price range ($500-650). Can you please give me why is one better than the other. Yes I understand that motor type (brushless or brushed can change the price. I would like you opinion why is Yikong better that Axial or Traxxas. Are they all made on one manufacturers chassis and everybody buys and tweaks it to there Jeep Rubicon.
@@johnwanhainen3981 My friend, the answer to what makes a better/worse crawler would be a very, very, very long one! And subject to personal preferences. 😁 I suggest you watch some review and comparison videos, for example. It's a hobby with a lot of variables. Motor type is just a tiny part of the equation. Chassis, ESC, axles, drive-train, centre of gravity, steering servo, etc, etc, all influence a car's performance. If I were you, the first question I would try to answer when choosing a model would be: "What do I want the rig for?" Do you want a car with more serious crawling capabilities or something that goes over small obstacles is enough? Do you want to compete or to go have fun in the trails? Do you want a car with a scale, realistic look, or you don't mind that it has a more "robotic" appearance? Just my opinion. 😉 Have fun!
@@just.jose.youtube yes totally understand your response. I guess what I was getting at is YiKong product they produce. I am going to do crawling for fun not competitive. I would like to rock crawl like a see on line post, pretty rough terrain. I did purchase a Yikong 4201/pro, and I would like your review of it YiKong quality and if any great features that experience person like yourself can say about YiKong. Please be brutally honest, and things you would update or change on the 4201.
@@johnwanhainen3981 Well, like I said in my original comment, I have an early Absima Sherpa 3.4. Later batches had some differences, shocks for example. (The Amewi brand also sells this model). The parts are identical but the plastics used, between Yikong, Absima, Amewi may be different, for example. Eventhough there may be differences, I think they are pretty similar. Probably produced in the same factories, only the stickers being different. I've had no problems with mine, so far. Some stripped the gearbox plastic gears and had to swap them. Metal ones are available. The "box stock" model is definitely not a "hardcore crawler". It's more a "capable trail truck". Removing the steering dampener for the provided fixed link and getting a stronger servo will improve it's ability in the rocks. My Sherpa came with the original shocks, with inside springs. Those sucked. I believe later batches have regular, outside spring, adjustable shocks. Besides looking for youtube videos for "Absima Sherpa", "Amewi RCX10" and "Yikong 4102", search Facebook groups. They are a great source of knowledge on the subject. And more important than everything, RUN your rig. Have fun! 🙂
Nice light kit locking diffs and two speeds I will go for the Yi-Kong Pro, just getting the Absima version instead since it sell in DK where i live. And I already got a TRX6 so to try something different.the Absima sherpa is a win for me.
Having watched the driving portions of this video filmed, i have to say the Chinese car was the best..... If you switched tyres the trx4 would have had its butt handed too it, even with its smoother esc.... Great comparison, can't wait till you show people the footage of the top gear speed run and stoppies
Hello there. Been watching you for a while, love your vids. Good work and many thanks for all this useful info. I thought you were the first to review the RGT EX86120 Desert Fox (FJ Cruiser)... Looks better than the Yi Kong I think (more rugged overall look). Have a peek at it on AliExpress site...Merry Xmas from Montreal Québec Canada my friend. Keep up your good work !
Since the yi Kong is the same as the sherpa I'm liking that one better. Reason is that the TRX4 sport and the sherpa are the exactly same price in Romania. Personally I run my absima cr2.4 and I absolutely love it. Parts on paper seem weak but it does easy work of inside obstacles at least =)
Bone of contention with the Yikong's, the YK4102 was $200ish until Absima stuck their branding on the 'Sherpa' which inflated it to £380, now Yikong wants the same price across the board including this FJ.
I was looking at would you have this rc, but din’t find it because its named different. But happy that I found all these videos. Really nice vids man. Could you compare this to the element rc enduro, thx
Can I suggest that you get some of the GNB (gaoneng) 110c batteries from hobbyrc in the uk? GNB have been great for quad and plane packs, consistently amongst the best. Having consumed a lot of RC car content recently I suspect you guys are (generally) using pretty poor lipos by FPV quad standards. The are pretty cheap compared what the car shops seem to sell too. I've bought some but I'd love your opinion.
Nice video and great comparison. I am new to the crawler hobby. Not much isn't made in China today but is this a case of a company that has been making Traxxas designed rigs for Traxxas stealing their designs or intellectual property? Any western company that lets their designs out to China to save a buck should expect to see their items come back rebranded by the Chinese. Chinese charge even more for theirs than Traxxas, that's a profit! I do like the Toyota body but can't believe Traxxas TRX4 Blazer is the less expensive option.
The Yi Kong looks great, but what is the parts and upgrade support like? Not a name I know too well, but that FJ body looks great (I agree with you about the full size car!! Pig ugly in my honest opinion!!). What light kit did you put in your TRX4? I couldn't justify (to my wife!!! 🤣) spending nearly £100 on the Traxxas kit, so found a kit on Banggood for £11, which, although fiddly to set up, looks awesome, especially as I've now put a metal front bumper on it, with lights. The tyres are cut, bumpers flipped, body cut and lowered, new tyres with cheap beadlocks, and it now climbs like a mountain goat!! You both did well on the wet wood!! Hard enough to stand on, let alone drive an RC car on!! Have a great, and safe Christmas. Stuck indoors in Tier 4 in Kent. Bring in a better 2021. 👍🏻
Parts shouldn't be a massive issue as the chassis is the same as the Absima Sherpa. The light kit is from BG... this one www.banggood.com/custlink/v3KyHuL7w1 Have a good Xmas. I have family in Kent (that's where I'm from originally), luckily still Tier 3 in Lincoln. Stay safe.
Did you only put a 15kg servo in the sport you should have went with the 35kg or even the 20kg the extra really help and since you have the hobby wing esc you can you a high voltage i think cause you can adjust the bec on it not 100% but all and all the both will run better and stonger the the stock trx4 servo which when it warms up it loses about half of its power on a heavy trx4 man i really want to go to the paddles worth track one day the family and me will come out to the uk
Who puts their blinker on while off-roading? Don't want to confuse that Deer! Just kidding. Cheers from Canada! Love my trx4 blazer. Portals are nice but straight axles are more realistic!
.. that is misleading - can´t really compare these two! the blue one is the same as absima khamba, which is technically identical with the sherpa (CR3.4 chassis), which are ~ € 430,- now. the latter ones with two gears and both diffs lockable independently. only real downside are the esc and the plastic gears in the transmission plus tires - of course; sherpa is much more scale out of the box and a lot cheaper than comparable traxxas. btw, nearly ALL of this stuff is built in china/asia .. like meanwhile most of the things we are using. ps: absima sherpa, hobbywing xerun system, metal gears, tires and rims, desert lizards, some weight on the front and you are good to go ;-).
Yeah I know... it’s all for RUclips lol... gets you all taking. Although I’d argue that ‘Made in the USA’ and ‘Made in America’ could go either way. Mexico is part of America, but not the USA 😎
Hi everybody around the world! It is the same game... R&D in USA, EUROPE, JAPAN... Made in China, India and so on... The Price? Result of good or bad Marketing... AND "CHINA, KOREA a. s. o." are learning, copying... VERY VERY FAST... The Pressure to "THE BRANDS" is growing up... More Details for less money on the RC-Car... AND: No more Jobs for the People to mount the CARS in US, EU, JPN... Understand, what i mean? Tamiya? Kyosho? So what!
Taiwan’s official name is the ‘Republic of China’, so I’m not wrong 🧐 England is its own country, but mix it up with Scotland, Wales & N.Ireland and you have the UK. So ‘Made in the UK’ or ‘Made in England’.... nobody is really bothered which way it’s written. as I’ve said a few times, saying ‘made in China’ always triggers people 😅
Agree. China are one of the most technologically advanced countries on the world. Made in China doesn't mean it's crap. The Yi-Kong is on par with the Traxxas IMO
@@TomleyRC it is like LC Racing and WLToys/XK. Both are Chinese. Especially the LC is really good quality, but comes at a cost at least double that of the WL. It depends on your budget and how often you drive if you are willing to pay slightly more. I mix components now.
OMG so the TRX 4 is made in China..........oh wait a minute all this stuff is made out there, makes me laugh when a forum guy slags a chap for having a "Chinese rig" forgetting that his top brand truck is also Chinese"
Yeah I’ll admit I’m a little more clued up about it that I’ve made out in this video... but you know what RUclips is like... gotta make it a little dramatic. But either way, the Yi-Kong is really good quality
Hahahaha you cant even compare that truck to the trx4. The traxxas is in a whole different league. These guys get free gear to talk up these garbage trucks.
Well guess what Mike.... I did compare them lol. I also took the time to take them both to a crawler course and run them side by side so you could see there was not much difference. Tell me more about how the TRX4 is in a different league? Give me some facts 😉👍
@@cobusmeyer9812 Traxxas fans are very loyal to the brand lol. I have pretty much one of everything.... I enjoy running them all and enjoying them all.
Hi i drove the trx4 and the y kong that day I'm not given anything or or sponsored by anyone just an honest review the only thing that let's the y kong down was the OE tyres , spare parts should not be an issue as it's the same as the new Abisma , both are very capable trucks

You got a live one here, Phil! 😂
@@cobusmeyer9812 Traxxas fans are very loyal to the brand lol. I have pretty much one of everything.... I enjoy running them all and enjoying them all.
Hi i drove the trx4 and the y kong that day I'm not given anything or or sponsored by anyone just an honest review the only thing that let's the y kong down was the OE tyres , spare parts should not be an issue as it's the same as the new Abisma , both are very capable trucks
