Watching your videos is awesome I bought the axe edition gen 8 today thanks to your feedback. And when I got home I went right to work with the mods , esc programming with the app and boiling the tire foams. I live in the north east. It’s like 6 degrees out. The spare tire I didn’t boil and it was hard as a rock after 4 mins outside. So I’m glad your channel exists. Thank you.
Love the video and these kinds of vids are always the best. The more detail/breakdown and discussion the better. It’s great when u suggest 4-5 things u would upgrade also, gives us as consumers something to consider and to be more informed after watching👍😁. Have a great holiday. Crawl on!
GREAT CHANNEL, THANKS FOR THE CONTENT! I have 2 SCX24's and just got an ATLAS 6x6 for $109, a great value! I can't believe the climbing ability of the ATLAS. The ATLAS does have a HUGE turning radius though.
Francis, I found a 10t gear in an old dead servo. There was no set screw so I had to locktite the thing in place but it slowed down the start up speed nicely.
What kind of servo was it? I have a bunch of old Traxxas servos laying around I’m wondering if I could steal one out of that. Also is the motor mount on the slotted so you can actually adjust the gear mesh or is that a modification you have to do. Thinking of getting one of these
@@LargeeeScaleLife I don't remember. I tossed the rest of it after I pirated the insides. I am think it was a Hexfly 10G. The old and the new gear were so close in size the mesh was practically the same.
Hey good job mate, I really enjoyed the video, I'm not into the micro crawler movement but I can really see a cool little belly dragger style truck with this.. with modifications of course. Cheers 👍
I got the new gunmetal jeep one, its actually metallic blue but looks awesome. Super fun and for 130 on amazon its a steal. If you want less led lights and prefer the power wagon then get that and save 20 bucks.
Banggood is the ONLY place that sells them for that much. I’ve been saying this since they started selling them. If you go to the panda hobby website you will find the real prices. I’ve got the old power wagon and I’ve modified the body and layout of the electronics. I plan to get ahold of a sidewinder micro 2 esc to help with the modulation. Have a great new year bud. 😁 I will be here for every video.
open up some of your 1/10th scale spare box servos's "savox" etc take them apart & you can usually find a much smaller gear inside there that can be used on these tiny trucks for a pinion 👍🏼
I just picked up the RocHobby CR18 Lang Cruiser Hard Body, I was wondering what the differences are between the CR-18, the Hobby Plus and the Panda 1/18 scales are other than the electronics? I'm looking for some brass parts for it.
I have the 6 axle version. Any idea where I can get four link parts? I broke one and can’t find any aftermarket support on the internet anywhere. Other than that solid truck. Thanks.
Links to some censored brushless, esc combos please 🙏 (2 in 1's 🙏) (I just ordered the Panda Hobby Tetra X1 6x6 1/18 RTR Scale Mini Crawler w/2.4GHz Radio (Black) )
Lol you accidentally put 1/16 scale at first I was like woah they made a bigger one? Then you later said its a 1/18. Made more sence as to why it looked not any bigger lol. I ordered one and I'm gonna go get a die-cast truck model from Walmart and put the metal body on it. I think the extra weight would help and it would feel good aswell
Hello i got my tetra k1, sadly the servo was defect they sended me one took 2month of shiping to get it now the new servo is acting on it own * going wild* i think i need a good servo and receiver sadly that was a gift for my boy and 3month later stil cant play with it help! i need the right parts for it size ty!
I like to take mine out for walks in the city and find stuff to crawl while I walk. The only issue I have is that every rc controller looks vaguely like a weapon and maybe one day someone will feel threatened and call the cops on me. I wish they could start making controllers that don't look like guns for people who live in places where guns are very common. Obviously the designers of transmitters don't understand this or don't care.
As far as I know it’s his personal channel he actually buys all of these trucks that he reviews. Not really sponsored by any company I think he gets a little bit of a kickback on items that you buy for a certain time. If you use the links to amain. This is probably one of the most honest and unbiased channels you’re going to find on crawlers
The "speed selector " is basically just a throttle limiter, best left in high as lower settings in a bind lead to early motor failure due to burning out the brushes 👍👍💪💪
will you please review panda Hobby. I ordered a truck for my grandson and they’re shipping a junk controller. Not the nice axial scx24 controller a real piece of junk no throttle spring. They also are no longer sending the banner. Disappointing kids everywhere. It’s just a real disappointment they put out a good product and switch it. Thanks
*Oil shocks ok ... but look cheap, much too STIFF , and will probably leak. *Powerfull motor ok ... but ZERO speed MODULATION. ( as you say , "modulation is everything in rc crawlers" ) *UGLY mat plastic bendind front lights / and UGLY general body appearance / poor details. * Aluminium chassis doesn t seem that stiff when you bend it... = Don t understand how you can recommand such overpriced GARBAGE !? Scx24 or even Ftx Outback mini 2.0 are MUCH better ;)
3:54 - Not only do you do the shitty RUclipsr thing of try and push traffic to some other video instead of just sharing simple info with the viewer.. But you didn't even put in the card. It's putting grease in the shock to dampen the movement... So hard to briefly share with a remotely loyal audience member... >.>
He wasn’t being a shitty youtuber, he just didn’t want to keep talking about the scx24 over and over like usual, and instead wanted to review the panda wagon instead. He has mentioned in almost EVERY single other mini crawler vid what he did to the axial to dampen the shocks! Also, he is a human being and forgets like everyone else sometimes so cut him so slack and stop acting like a spoiled ungrateful entitled shithead. Instead of just typing whatever “important” criticism u have every time someone makes a mistake or when u just feel like bitching, stop and try to remember that we are all just doing the best we can most days and to be a little nicer! Francis is actually one of the best and most honest rc channels out there most days and definitely one of the most informative crawler channels on RUclips.
Yeah people have to push traffic to other videos because if you actually look at the analytics videos we do here on RUclips any video over around eight or nine minutes nobody watches them. And some people would like to have more in-depth information to just how you put grease in them

Just a awesome channel here. Any rug you’re considering always come here and see the reviews. Just so awesome
Best updates I have found are the brass hubs and a full set of bearings. Love these rigs , thanks for the videos And happy New Year 👍👍💪💪

You're costing me a lot of money here lately. Lol
Thank you for this review and info. This is my fav mini crawler!

I have two put the 1080 in them and helped the control, now much better

I thought we were going to get to see the silver power wagon crawling. Not the green one.

I consider the Panda the OG of 1/18 with oil shocks. Have you done a 1:1 comparison between Panda and TRX4M? that would be cool to see.
you should take a second look at the Carisma Brat MSA-1e with the v2 motor and improved gearing.
@@jjm2948 it says it on the box
Absolutely love my k1! I did most of those mods you've spoken, plus a few more, but not gears lol,
what mods? I'm interested in wheels but not sure what to get...
open up some of your 1/10th scale spare box servos's "savox" etc take them apart & you can usually find a much smaller gear inside there that can be used on these tiny trucks for a pinion 👍🏼
There little champions, the most surprising to me
What's better the Tetra K1 or the axial scx24?
I just picked up the RocHobby CR18 Lang Cruiser Hard Body, I was wondering what the differences are between the CR-18, the Hobby Plus and the Panda 1/18 scales are other than the electronics? I'm looking for some brass parts for it.
Trx4 bronco, Gen 8 axe, rc4wd C2X or SCX3 witch one??
Can't wait for the upgrades to roll in :)
I have the 6 axle version. Any idea where I can get four link parts? I broke one and can’t find any aftermarket support on the internet anywhere. Other than that solid truck. Thanks.
Is there a esc that you recommend that is better than the factory esc combo?
Excellent review and little truck brother! Love this music! Now please, what does this type of music called?
I didn't see the link to the scx shock fix video.
Were you ever able to change the gearing?
You know I love oil filled shocks! LOL. Great video... thanks!

I hear people only get 12 batteries out of the motor is this true or should it last quite awhile.
Merry christmas sir. Can you please do a review on the 1/10 scale crawler absima sherpa / yikong yk4102 pro
Hey 👋🏼 what's the 1/32 car/buggy I want one !! Thanks 👍🏼
I ordered most of the parts to go brushless with mine 😉🤙
What video? You pointed to corner for link. Nothing there. Looking for the SCX24 shock fix
ruclips.net/video/vl_btSBpYoM/видео.html
How can you tell the new model from the previous model when purchasing?
Nice review, Francis. In your estimation, would the Panda oil shocks fit on an SCX24?
No, way too big.
How about the rochobby Toyota on your right. Will the Panda Shocks fit that car?
@@RCReviewChannel That's defeatist :) I'm sure there's a few guys on Reddit who may try this.
Could you put a bigger battery in it
I love this guys videos
Lol you accidentally put 1/16 scale at first I was like woah they made a bigger one? Then you later said its a 1/18. Made more sence as to why it looked not any bigger lol.

Well at least they would fit well through the tree chipper... :)
Got this in all black and love ❤️ it👍
The blm version
Hey i just got my gen8 axe can you do a vid of putting a sound kit in it

What's a good BEC
I never really considered anything smaller scale than a Tamiya Lunchbox.Are these mostly for indoors or how are people using the smaller scale cars?

@@ZTK-RC I can see how that could be an issue, i could see myself having that issue where i live, good point!
Three Kings celebration???
pandas 60 t motor opens a new set of doors, all good
I love axial For all Micro crawlers...
I have a question so is your RUclips channel like a company or is it your RUclips channel?

Try it in first does that help

Thanks, good video
You're welcome
I bought my Tetra K1 and it came with the alloy bodied shocks and 2x 700 mAh li-ion batteries.
We're your wheels weighted
@@northernlightsrc8994 Yes they come weighted as stock.
Hope you comes that way....I paid the 161...didn't no they're 110 on the website direct
