I very much enjoy these longer form videos but not all of the time. Mix them in here and there and it’s perfect.
One thing I like to do with my tools is magnetize the tips so that screws stay on without me having to constantly hold them in place.
Happy to see an update on this one!
Thanks for the feedback, Scott. I largely agree, a slow pace video is fine here and there. There will be more as I build the BRX02 up, but I'm thinking I'll fit them around my regular content as they're going to have a fairly narrow appeal!
I magnetise some of my drivers too. Should get around to treating these ones!
Greetings, Craig. I for one am really enjoying this longer format with all the detail and explanations and talking us through the build. It's entertaining, informative, and gives a really good overview of the kit, parts, instructions, and overall build. Slow, steady, and focused. Makes it engrossing and engaging, not boring at all, worth the time investment to see it through to the end. I actually seek out longer videos, so for me this is ideal.
BUT... As someone else already mentioned, maybe not all the time. I think we all enjoy the action and thrill of the shorter adventure videos, rock problem tests, tire tests, and all the various fun and exciting things you bring to the video segment. That is, after all, what initially brought me here, your direct and to the point reviews and testing. Probably a lot of others, too. I certainly don't want those videos to stop showing up.
All that being said, I for one have enjoyed every single one of the videos you've made, and have appreciated all the different approaches you've taken to keeping the channel lively and fresh. I've said it before, and I'll say it again here, this is by far the best channel on youtube and I am very grateful to have found your work. No other channel has the re-watch value that yours does. Keep up the great work, keep the videos coming.
That's super appreciated, thank you for your thoughtful feedback and the encouragement! That's a boost for me, thank you!
I have more variety coming and also more builds at this pace, so I guess I'll be delivering exactly what you're describing - which is just as well, because I need variety to keep things going from my end too. (We're something of a goal and novelty driven species, after all). Cheers :)
Wow never seen a kit to this standard and interesting format to follow along. Good to see an experienced 'hobbyist' pass on knowledge. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Hadyn, glad to have you following along :)
I do like this kind of video when I have the time and when I'm looking for step-by-step builds. It can be very helpful. I wouldn't want it to replace your normal videos, but an occasional "hang out and build" video would be very welcome.
Thank you for the feedback! I still owe this build a finishing episode and then a body video. I'll get to that soon!
I appreciate the details in a build video. I’m not a bit surprised to see them in yours.
Thank you! The next one in this series makes this video look like a speedy summary, but I guess you only build this kind of thing once!
This was the part of my TRX4 that I enjoyed so much. The same with Tamiya kits. It's all in the build.
This was just about the perfect length of video for this kind of content, for me, anyway. Your build set up is very cool. Lighting, sound insulation, and everything to hand. Nice. 👍🏻
I'm sure I commented on the first part of this, when you unboxed the kit, on what great quality it was.
Ill certainly be watching the rest of the build. 👍🏻
Thanks Rob! More coming soon. Great kit isn't it! Cheers
Great detail in this series. I'm a regular watcher of Crawler Canyon's long form videos and I like when yours are longer too. They don't all need to be long or short like other commenters have said. A mix of both is cool. You have a lot of experience to share, and I'm hear to listen if you feel like dropping knowledge bombs in your videos🙂
Thanks Andy, it'll be a mix. Variety is good. Appreciate your thoughts!
This looks like a very high quality kit. It will be interesting to see how it holds up after some running. Making notes on the manual is a very good idea.
If it's anything like the BRX01, which I expect it will be, this will be a tough and long lived machine.
For me this is great. part by part, bit by bit. Awesome👌😉
Brilliant, glad it's helpful, Joel. The next episode of this build is coming soon and it's somewhat... longer, you might say. Still, hopefully interesting and helpful! The kit is most definitely worthy of the time we're spending on it (finally - thanks for waiting for me to get to it after all this time!!). Wonderful machine :)
30:23 I used to do 3d drawings and assembly instructions and since I drew everything in autocad in 3d, I could simply mirror the items and then they'd be drawn correctly in perspective. Things (supposedly) are so much easier to draw now in Fusion but I couldn't get my old head around it. I started using autocad in the 80's with version....wait for it....ONE lol......
Love your set up looks so relaxing Love building kits!🙏
Thanks, it's a privilege and a pleasure to share it with you guys :)
7:31 with my failing eye sight and clumsy fingers I like to use small needle nose, bent, pliers. I find it SO much easier....not only clumsy fingers and bad eye sight but when you get the caffiene jitters too lol......
BTW: when sorting fasteners like that, I find a magnetic tray keeps them from re-grouping after you've sorted them. They just like to get all together if you don't keep an eye on them.
"never tear us apart" (another Aussie reference for ya hahaha)
When I built tamiya a kyosha kits I'd go to the dollar store and get a bunch of pill sorters. Then combine all the parts from the various bags into one tray then label the lid "bag a" etc. With those kits you're referring back to bag a like 20 times and then skip it all together for some steps.
Tweezers and small parts organiser containers are my go to for complex builds. Hasn't been necessary yet with the BRX02 as everything is pretty neatly bagged separately, but I definitely take that approach on complex builds, yes!
I worked with tiny electromechanical parts and electronics for years in my lab here. Soldering under a microscope at times, even building my own replacement buses between damaged boards etc. Small parts organisation is something I've honed over a decade or two!
If you like this build you would have LOVED pocher kits. I mean, I wanted one since I was 13 but could never afford one. I mean, you have to assemble the valve springs in the heads AND the window cranks!
I must have missed part one of this. I'll have to look for it.

Thanks for the vid. The kit looks so well presented in the box it almost seem a shame to build it !
Heh yes, it'll never be as pristine as that open box moment!
that's what I thought when he first opened the box, too. it almost hurts to take the parts out of that beautiful packing. it's so organized and pretty!
@@elduderinolebowski5411 I've had to repurpose foam from the BRX01 and others in the past. Some kits come with gorgeous packaging. The Cross RC BC8 Flagship was another one like that.
I really should feature that model actually, do a bit of a close look. It's very interesting.
Oh and while I'm rambling, I'd love to see a truck body on a 6x6 or 8x8 BRX01 or BRX02, that would be incredible.
That is all.
The thing about long form videos: we can speed up, slow down, skip, fast forward if we want. If you edit out stuff yourself, you remove that option.
Remember we have a choice at playing at full speed, 1/2 speed, 2x speed if we want.
Thanks Mike. I get that, but most people just skip longer videos. That tells youtube that the video isn't worth showing to others and you end up with a few hundred views rather than thousands. The next video you post is affected too. I'll have to keep such long form videos rare here for the reason, as the whole channel pays for the lower engagement for a while after one. There are more coming though, just gonna space them out a bit!
@@RCTNT I didn't realize that. I know youtard is fubar and messes with newcomers but didn't know it was that bad. You can also break them up into part 1 2 3 of the same video (bet you already know that haha considering I only have 3 BS videos on my channel lol).
Thanks. Really its up to me to make it interesting at whatever length it needs to be. The aim is the shortest possible length that achieves the video goal. No extra fluff.
I'm still experimenting, even after 155 video uploads, but I definitely use episodic parts in many videos. Gotta balance everything to find something that works across the demographic. It's a challenge but I'm learning a lot!
@@RCTNT well, you're doing a good job. Rarely find your vids boring and you provide enough detail but not TOO much.
I would love the experience of building a BRX02 but then I saw the price 🥶
Heh it isn't cheap but it is wonderful! One day, perhaps
10:56 it's at this point my cat would jump up on the work bench to help and mix up all the screws again lol (you think I'm kidding but I'm not, at ALL I could kill the little bastard sometimes....haha)
Haha yes that sounds like a regular cat
@@RCTNT I thought I had a shot of him as a kitten trying to swat my hand as I did fine detail sanding on a sign I was working on. Can't find it.
He's also finely tuned when I drop a small screw and on my hands and knees on the floor looking for it. He comes over "what chu doing? what what what let me help meow meow meow then jumps on my back and looks over my shoulder....lol
Aw that's sweet
@@RCTNT I thought "if I could only train you to find lost screws" lol
I think the format is perfect, build broke up into like 30 minute segments, mixed in with regular content...
Thanks, I've learned a lot from attempting this series. I'll try for live videos next time.
I want this kit because it looks like it's one of the hardest and most parts to it?
It isn't a difficult build, Travis. I've made many kits and I'd say the most complex one was the Cross RC BC8, followed by the RC4WD Beast II. Both of these were significantly more work than the BRX01, and the BRX02 looks like it'll be a similar experience to the 01 so far.
As far as quality is concerned, the BRX 4x4s are right up there with the best stuff I've ever built. The BC8 still stands alone as the toughest for driveline and chassis, but for fine quality and finish, the BRX01 and 02 are slightly ahead even of that.
It's magical stuff, these kits. If you ever get the chance to build one, I do recommend it. They aren't cheap but they are something to experience, for sure.
Thank you you've actually helped me and helped me save money in a little bit of time we've known each other.🙏
Oh awesome!
Is this 6 wheeled yet?(new add on kit) 🤣
Tim
Heh, nah. I nearly bought that but think we might do that whole project separately rather than lose the 4x4 awesomeness of this rig. Nearly did it a few times though, yeah!
🤣
@@lizardsticks the 6x6 is on its way, Atees tell me. So that'll be cool!
