I have it and I am very happy with this purchase. With few mods I turned it to a real crawler : replaced the original wheels and tires with softer and bigger ones, increased the overall weight and the center of gravity to improve the climbing abilities and now it is a real tank and goes everywhere.
DRIVER'S NAME= my cousin had a very similar ride. We gave that thing hell. Rest his soul, he passed at a young age. His name was Jason Bentley Anderson. I could see him driving it in the video. We had a blast!- especially in the night shots. Have a great vacation! Thanks for the video‼️👍👍
I saw that Whistlin Diesel G-Wagon video a couple nights ago, that was crazy what he put it through but as you said it held up well in the dunes. Enjoy your holiday mate
Dude it’s too bad that’s not officially licensed because the detail on that thing is epic! It surprised me how good it could crawl as well! And the suspension definitely looks realistic, just saw the WD video where he took it to the dunes and the suspension on his real one looked very similar
I know of where you was , my sister an brother in law live in Abu Dhabi and I was helping my sister look for a new apartment one of which was behind that big twin building. I love that country.
looks large for 1/24 but.. really nice looking, especially lit up in darkness. excellent detail, naturally top heavy being metal body, nice suspension too. if you can find good dampers for it that'll help some.
Yeah the prices on ALI express and Banggood have gone through the roof recently. The RGT Pioneer is now $400 CDN + $200 shipping, and the HG P407 used to be $300 + $40 Shipping it's now $300 shipping (approx). In many cases, banggod will advertise a low price but "does not ship to Canada".
Regarding the friction shocks, I agree that the small scale stuff including 1/18th works well: Near as dammit the right amount of bounce over the terrain. Hope the holiday went well!
That's definitely going above and beyond, taking the mini G Wagon to its natural habitat, in the UAE!! Nice job!! I hope you're slapping on the factor 50!!?!! 🥵
I hope you're enjoying your vacation. It's a very cool looking little crawler. I think it would be fun to have. Thanks for sharing. Would It perform as well in cooler weather?
Sweet little rig pinecone model have been stepping up their crawler game I have the sg 2801 great little rig but it’s more of a trail truck than crawler
Great video. I just received today and I have a issue with my sg2401. When i driving it the car stops and looking for signal and then starts again and then stops again looking the signal. Maybe you can helping me out here how to fix it or what is going on
great little truck! seems capable of doing a lot of things with some minor upgrades. thanks for taking the time out of your vacation to edit and show us this video. also very happy that you and the camel were smiling at the end! hahaha! clever shot by your wife or whoever was behind the camera. cheers Phil! enjoy what's left for your holidays and we'll see you in the next one!
I was impressed with my landrover defender d90 for the price and that it’s die-cast body. I am wanting to put in different tires on it (if possible) just to make it run a bit smoother? Or perhaps newer shocks? Hydrate and thanks for sharing your point of view!❤
Maaaaan!!!!!!! I saw that G Wagon video as well. He has another one that just came out where he drove it into a mud pool.. Mouth was wide open in awe…lol &&& .. he has this offloading technique that is just insane when he takes it off the trailer…..lolll.. 😮😮😮😮😮 .... he really does have GOBS of money, you can tell with his disposition and temperament ..lol. Very entertaining.. and I would need only maybe a quarter of his net worth ….lol. But I loved Abu Dhabi.. stayed just outside of Dubai city and literally drove to Abu Dhabi for a month while my wife and I were doing invetro back in 2012. .. looks a lot more developed since then… Anyway.. enjoy UAE Phil, and great vid!
@@TomleyRC owning an RC version of the G320 Cabrio and G500 from Tamiya is enough for me too. Overpriced in full size, especially as they drive from gas station to gas station with those V8s (no diesel here).
it's fine i put monster truck wheels on a df02 tamiya - rising storm, but its really slow, i dont understand the mechanics, i dont want to bash it, its 12T brushed motor, should be decent speed, not sure
Oh so you are in Abu Dhabi?! If ever you visit Dubai, maybe you can give me one of your rigs lol! Pass by Dubai mall (where I work), Lets have some Karak tea!
Nice footage mate looks awesome 😁👍😂🤣😂 nearly lost it then 🤣😂 I've got an friend who lives out there just a bit west from where you are in Qatar he's got the real thing all pimped out 😂🤣 hope you have fun buddy 😊🙋♂️
I get the 1/24 thing but I don't like this one I'll stick with my MN86K G-Wagon thank you very much! I live in Bradford honestly think there are more G-Wagons here and there nearly all the AMG versions too!
Thats Blackpool lol 😆 😂 they wish 🤭 fantastic review and a great test as always and as you said Diecast 😱 so it can be a ornament model and Rc 🤪 lights are cool to 👍am like a hermit crab at the moment 🥺 ill hopefully be out off my shell one day bro 😀 awesome video mate 👍😁👍
I'm back now. I went to Ferrari world the first time I was out there. Decent experience :) Went to the New 'Warner Bro's World' this time, really good 👍

What size wheels did you manage to fit? I got one on order, and I plan on getting/making some mods. Tires being my 1st mod

Thanks dude. Sorry about your cousin
The combo of heavy body and no oil in the shocks works amazingly well in creating a good scale look

Yeah, took way more than I expected! Home now… back to the grind 😅
That video was cool. That guy has too much disposable cash.
I refuse to watch anything he does he is a dunce
@@newbornlog2789 thanks for that
The coldest time of the day in that place is as soon as the Sun starts Rising.
Sure is a neat looking little truck.

Great night time footage, pretty surprising tbh that truck 👍

Aww, what a cute Lil G-Wagon. Keep it away from Whistlindiesel, hes' gone mad, lol.

That night shot where the frame rate matched the wheel speed, looks sick😁😁
Thanks Victor. I knew it would look good at night… glad you enjoyed
Hope you brought one for Abby to play with too! Nothing like racing down hotel hallways!😝🏁🏎
Haha
Gotta say, love the look of that little thing. Goes pretty well too!
hey man love the vids quick question if i buy this can i put a 3000mah battery on it if so what 1 do you recommended since ur smart at rc
Man that thing looks incredible
That's definitely going above and beyond, taking the mini G Wagon to its natural habitat, in the UAE!! Nice job!! I hope you're slapping on the factor 50!!?!! 🥵
Haha… yeah, had a quick holiday at the same time 😅
Awesome looking little wagon, Phil! It really runs nicely! 😃
Great review! And enjoy your trip there!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I hope you're enjoying your vacation. It's a very cool looking little crawler. I think it would be fun to have. Thanks for sharing. Would It perform as well in cooler weather?
Back home now. It’s performance surprised me, I thought it would tip over way more
That Actually handles and Drives pretty good!
Cool video with an epic montage at the end. The truck is wicked too. Didn't know diecast RC's was a thing. Looked like a great holiday Phil 😎
Thanks Arron. Yeah, had an awesome time
Those night shots looked amazing
I feel special since I understand the title LOL! 😂😂
Its so difficult to work while on vacation. kudos to you & awesome video!!!
Sweet little rig pinecone model have been stepping up their crawler game I have the sg 2801 great little rig but it’s more of a trail truck than crawler
I just came back from Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Enjoy
Love the British tan 😉
And yes, I get it too...

Have a safe and fun holiday!!

Have fun in UAE Phil!
Neat little truck.
I believe there are more G-wagons in Beijing. In my community we already have 3 different ones: AMG G500, standard G500 and a G350
I’d love one… just a little too expensive for me 😅
@@TomleyRC owning an RC version of the G320 Cabrio and G500 from Tamiya is enough for me too. Overpriced in full size, especially as they drive from gas station to gas station with those V8s (no diesel here).
Love the night time footage 🥵👊🏻👍🏻
I wish I saw this video earlier... I would give you a tour around my city
I wish the mn86 had lights and paint like this
They love to play Baja 5B in the dune there
Yes, would have loved to take something big on the sand
have a good holiday! great video that!
Thanks Andy. I’m back now 👍
@@TomleyRC ha ha ha! well.. maybe you can help me fix my RC then!
it's fine i put monster truck wheels on a df02 tamiya - rising storm, but its really slow, i dont understand the mechanics, i dont want to bash it, its 12T brushed motor, should be decent speed, not sure
Hope you had a great time despite the heat!
Yeah, it was good fun thanks
Great video! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Please do some upgrades make it ridiculously good
welcome to UAE
great video man thats a nice little rc g wagon
enjoy ur holiday!
Hope your having an awesome holiday!!!
Great video keep it up!
Back home now, but it was awesome
It feels as hot in the UK as where you are now.
I’m home now… yeah, pretty hot here at the mo
The body weight makes this look a lot more scale over bumps. Add some oil filled dampers and it’d probably be really nice
That place is gorgeous I hope I can go one day maybe catch a ufc event while I'm there big dreams not gonna happen on my current income haha
Amazing my friend 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤠👍🇮🇩
Tbh it's kind of cute xd
One more thing I believe they have an indoor ski resort there, if you wish to cool off.
Cool enough in any building 😅
Brilliant video Tony nice car have a brilliant holiday 😀👍👏
Thanks Mogg
@@TomleyRC no worries chat soon when you go live streaming OK
I say 550 motor and 3s. That shoul liven it up

Can we see this truck again later. With driver
Didn't like it on the sand, then came night time in the city it looked great.
Yes, I knew it would look good at night, made a special trip out, and came home like a drowned rat 🥵
@@TomleyRC worth the soggy socks mate great footage of the car overall.
I’m in ahby dahby! Lol
Nice
What size are the wheels? Got one on the way, want to see what will fit so I can order some
Love the video , but what ya doin man , forget about us for a min . Enjoy ya holiday man

Hi Phil
Welcome to the UAE😍
Hi. Had an awesome time (my 3rd time there)
Thats Blackpool lol 😆 😂 they wish 🤭 fantastic review and a great test as always and as you said Diecast 😱 so it can be a ornament model and Rc 🤪 lights are cool to 👍am like a hermit crab at the moment 🥺 ill hopefully be out off my shell one day bro 😀 awesome video mate 👍😁👍
Blackpool haha… not enough Dog s*** on the pavement for Blackpool Tony 😅😅
Bang good knows they’re sending it to you to review and they jack up the price. :)
They must have guessed, as I bought this way before the review 😅
who else is here immediately after watching whistlindiesel put the g wagon through the sinkhole lol
Me 😅
Me tooo…
That was THE MOST INSANE THING I’ve ever enjoyed watching… hella jealous about the amount of throwaway money that guy has!😮😅..
Don’t forget to go to Ferrari world (but don’t eat before hand).
And check out any Friday brunch.
Oh and don’t forget to have a good holiday 😎☀️🍺🍺
I'm back now. I went to Ferrari world the first time I was out there. Decent experience :)
Went to the New 'Warner Bro's World' this time, really good 👍
@@TomleyRC I was out in 2017 for the GP, EXPENSIVE!!!
£10 for a pint!
My best friends brother works out there so at least accommodation was cheep.
Strange place but worth a visit.
And like you said G wagons everywhere.

@@TomleyRC agreed, we got to see Calvin Harris & er (don’t tell anyone) pink 😳
Pink was probably really good live 👌
Have you seen - Pinecone SG 2402
Nice Phil 👌 will you be reviewing the rapioly scy 16302
I’ll have a look. Not sure what it is
Scy 16302 on aliexpress similar to the sg/ udirc 1602 👍
Thats awesome!:)
Ironically, flying all the way from China and then to Dubai and back, its probably got the same carbon footprint as an actual G-Wagon.
The foot of god 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do the sg2402 defender
I am from abudhabi ☺️
😎🙏
This time of year I'd rather go Iceland lol
How fast is it...
Haha pinecone
Would love to meet up with you
Cheers mate
I’m home now 👍
Awesome looking car but that is a long way to go just to get one, And yes top heaviness is a word ask any man that lives in the south😂
Hi Tom
Please reply between X-maxx and Losi DB XLE which one to go for?
My requirement is should be fast and fun along with durable
Never had an Xmaxx. But the DBXLE is awesome
Who in the hell goes to Abu Dhabi for vacation? This guy. Huweird.
My Father In-law lives and works out there. And also lots to do... and lots of time to sit by a pool relaxing ;)
WHERE IS THE CAMEL 💩
haha
What does di cast mean
In how much Dirhams you got that ?
I got it for about 275
