Beautiful spot! Keep pumping out the great vids! This was way more chill than your usual stuff. Love em all!
Went a bit different on this one, not everyone's cup of tea, but fun to film 👍
Like all of your upgrades but, I'm good with a decent 35 or 55T bushed motor. I think BL are kinda an overkill unless your comping imo. I'll put the 1080 esc in the 1060's place.
Been loving the Beluga vids, i am waiting for mine to arrive, do you know of any cheap decent batteries/chargers that will work on it? I don't understand all these labels they use on them like burst rate ect. I did get an 1800kv quickrun se to pair with it.
Love it and the content. Traxxas is 3 times over rated and 2 times overpriced. I appreciate you bringing these awesome vehicles to the viewers like myself. You and Tomley are like my morning coffee, need more of it...
What I love is that there is an RC out there for everyone. I think we all win when we can share quality RCs that don't break the bank and spread the experience even further 👍
Hi there! This vlog of yours was a major big reason why I bought a Beluga and I'm loving it very much. I plan to buy another one and turn it more as an off road racer than a crawler since it's second gear is fast enough. Do you think changing to a brushless motor with the stock esc and gearing can still make the car faster. Also, is the Quickrun Fusion SE you used is faster than the stock 550 motor and did you also change the esc to match the brushless motor. More power to your channel mate !
Lets be real here, even a TRX4 needs a brushless conversion and upgraded servo.
👍👍
Servo and horn is a must, I still use my brush system. It works fine.
@@fa509si7 yes it works..
The pure joy in each of your videos just hits me right in the RC nerd feels🤘
Well said my bro, glad to know 😉
So what upgrades did u exactly do and what battery are you ruining? I want tge same pls 😅 BTW CAR LOOKS FIRE 🔥
Can you please give exact list of upgrades and parts you have use ? I am about to purchase it and i want to order tires , motor brushless and lipo 🎉❤
Love your stuff. Waiting for delivery. What wheel/tire combo did you replace the stock ones for? Thanks and keep up the great work.
I spent more on some 1.9 Treal rims, but the tires are cheap Injora/Hyraks.
Has anyone tried fitting the Land Rover body or another 1/10 scale hard body on?
Just got mine the other day in red. Did you keep the stock tires or replace. They feel pretty good to be. Going to be running it for the first time this weekend. I’m excited!
I swapped out for some new 1.9's and they are a tab bit bigger. The stock tires are surprisingly good too. Looking forward to your vid 😉
Great video, well done. You have my subscription !!! One question though. I bought it's little brother, the Land Rover zp1001 and my son absolutely loves it, if I buy this beast how easy is it to find spare parts ?
They seem easy to find on AliExpress so far. But I've run this about a dozen times with no breakage...and I'm not nice to it either 😅
@@disciplinerc Hi again, could you also upload those fantastic shocks that you put on ? I think I got it right that you have changed the original shocks.
@@georgepapamichail1006 nope those are stock, just the weight down to 20. I took the adjustable off to take the spring down. 👍
What wheels are those? Where can I buy them?
Great video, I'm trying to decide what my first 1/10 crawler should be.
Thanks to your video I bought the blue one. Ordered new rims, tires and quicrun. What Lipo battery are you using?
Very cool man! You'll love it right out of the box even. I use an HRB 5200mah 50c for crawling. They are affordable and I like the weight it adds plus it will out last me out on the trail 😅
@@disciplinerc Is that the battery in your video?
@@saulomiraya120 the 3s yes, but the 2s I ran was a Sunpadow 7200mah 70c....also a great battery btw 😎
Wgat rims are these - link please
And this was on 2S? And you're right. It's not Traxxas, so I might actually buy one!
I think I went 3s here with that motor/ESC combo. Thing has crazy power and is hella capable 👍
Baby blue hm…. Maybe with a bit of orange and gulf sticker 🤔
That's actually a great idea! 💡🤔
Hey yo brother,
I got the new beluga 2.0. check it out. Its more better more discipline more everything 🤠👍🏼
0:53 Brushless!! of course the best upgrade of them all😁😁😁😁😁😁
Nice to see your upgrades all work out well for you Aaron👍👍😎😎👍👍
They did this time....thankfully 🤣🤣🤣
@@disciplinerc 🤣🤣
That thing is awesome! I love the Fusion motor series too. I have the 1800SE in my 10th scale. Thinking of getting the new baby Fusion to go in one of my 12th scales 👌
Same here, I actually have that new smaller fusion coming today. Can't wait to see if it's any good
@@disciplinerc legend, i look forward to your review... you really work hard dude and am fast becoming a regular watcher... I love your humor, format and editing 👌 'winner winner chicken dinner' as we say here in England (and maybe other places 🤷♂️😅) you'll go far 💪💪
Did anyone find out already how to set the steering endpoints? The servo pulls a lot further than the mechanical end of the linkage.
For the quicrun fusion are you using the stock pinion and spur gear? Also I think I had asked this before the rims - are they 12mm hex? And one more question - how many KG's do you recommend for the steering servo?
Yep, stock spur and pinion. Standard 12mm hex and I'd recommend an all metal 25kg+ servo, although the stock one works really well 👍
@@disciplinerc That you for the quick reply
I admit I am one of those people who complaint about clone/knock offs but this thing is just incredible value and quality for the price.
Agreed 💯%. Thanks for watching, and Merry Xmas!! 🎅🏼
Looks great, honestly I would consider this over a TRX4. The TRX4 will have a long commercial life, with spares and upgrades available for decades, but that's not always needed. 👍
You're totally right. Parts for years, but HB Toys has been around for awhile now so parts will still be available. Even without after market parts, in this hobby it's almost part of the fun to cobble something together and make the magic happen 😂
@@disciplinercthis kind of answers my question I just posted 👍
I can confirm that the brass diff covers for the trx4 do fit this perfectly, cant speak to any other accessories fitting, but that is a very promising start.
Oh nice to know!! 👍
That is good to know as I was eyeing some diff covers. Already got a brass steering knuckle set coming.
beautiful video. Also perfect build if you're looking for a good value for money.
Thanks dude!! I totally agree, my favorite crawler of 2023!
A ton of people complained about this and that it isn't that name brand, but i don't see the price difference in them at least in the videos. Any chance you could get some aftermarket parts for the trx4 and see if they are directly compatible, like replacement axels, shocks, links and the like? i.e. stuff you might brake. The only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger on it is, can i get replacement parts without having to wait months for the slow boat from china, or at all.
I may in the future, but stock has held up to me beating on it over a dozen packs through and no breaks. If something goes, I'll look into TRX4 bits, but I do know that AliEpress can get parts in a couple of weeks and HD also sells them directly too
I want to know if any if the RC4WD accessories like roof rack light bars and rear tire mount will fit?
@@azmavhockey3 they should if it's made for a 1/10 scale. RC4WD parts are pretty compatible with most 1/10 crawlers 👍
is the body the same size as the original trx bronco body?
Couldn't say, never had a TRX4. But it is the same size as my other 1/10's
This car is a very cost-effective vehicle.😊😊😊
Mine still going strong after a dozen outings 💪
More vids of this truck please.
Need to get out with some friends I think 🤔
Very handsome, by the way, how many batteries do you use?
is it a lipo brand ?
Yes I had a 3s 5200mah lipo in it here. Lasted me at least 2hrs 👍
thanks for letting me know ❤
Lobe
The best bargain entry level Scale Crawler now.
Agreed 💯👍
They have this on sale right now for like 160 thinking of buying 🤔
Wow that's a good deal! Would be a good idea 👍
@@disciplinerc Yea I think it's a great deal can't decide what color to get lol 😆
@@nandoscustomdiecast368 where did you see that sale price? Banggood?
@@disciplinerc aliexpress they have a deal until tomm
@@disciplinerc is yours still working good any parts that have broken?
Simply amazing. I want this so bad! The versatility. Crawling looks great and it has enough speed to actually bash it. You pretty much swam up a waterfall in second gear. Wow. Great cinematography btw. That Blair witch shack is crazy spooky. Leave them ghosts alone bro👻
I love crawling, but my trigger finger gets itchy. Having that extra gear and wheel speed is great!! 🙌🔥
How do you record while driving?
A lot of crouching and getting wet 😂 Just takes practice I spose 😁
You'll upset all the traxxas fan boys 🙄🤣🤣, keep up the great work 🤷♂️🇬🇧
I tease a lot cause it's an easy target 😂 But of the few Traxxas RCs I have, I do like them too 😁
Really, really great video, so good to see a bit of well filmed trailing as well as crawling 😀😀
These vids never seem to do as well as me doing crazy stuff. But I just love making them. Zen moments 😁
Hi nice video. Just want to ask where did you get the rim or is that sa bedlock rim? Thanks
They are 1.9 Treal deadlocks. I got them from Amazon but you can get them off the Treal web site 👍
@@disciplinerc thank you
Is this car from the box? Or you made some upgrades?
No it's been modified. The first 2mins of the video I explain what I changed 👍
@@disciplinercI watched again. Thanks for the explanation the upgrades. Well done
Only thing this video needed.... more Gracie!! 😍
She was a sweetheart! Love running into dogs on my adventures 🥰
The added weight and that motor really brought this truck to life! Awesome video Aaron love it! 👍🏻
Thx dude! Agreed, it's feels great. Maybe a bit more weight? But it really performs as is 👍
Is there a link for those wheels?
I'll have to get one and post it in the description below. I'll let you know when I get it up 👍👍
@@disciplinerc also, which fusion did you use? The 1200 or the 1800.
Amazing they can sell this at that price!! I totally agree with the Fusion SE. definitely a big upgrade over brushed motors, Great stuff there A-Aron!😝🤙🏻 looks like a great terrain to run!! Wish it wasn’t raining and shitty today I’d be out! I’ll just live vicariously through your channel today 😁👍🏻✌🏻
I know right? Great value. I've known about the Fusion before but never really looked into it. Total game changer IMO. I'm into our rainy season too, it's either wreck something or do maintenance I guess 😂
I got 1/10 so I could play with it in the rain lol, seems much easier to be waterproof when larger. My other stuff is 1/24.
Friend, what exactly is the SURPASS engine model that you upgraded. I opened the link you indicated, but there are several different models… which one is yours?
It wasn't a Surpass, it's a Hobbywing Fusion SE. I'll put up a link shortly
Love my new Beluga! I totally understand that the TRX4 Bronco is better quality and more capable, but everything I'm gonna rip outta my Beluga I'd rip outta the TRX4 too. l'd probably only keep the tires and shocks stock as I hear from sourcres on FB that TRX-4 electronics are the worst. Paid $261 for it and so far have ordered about $260 in upgrades including a HW Fusion SE 1800kv. Heck the TRX-4 doesnt even come with an included light kit. Not bashing Traxxas just saying they're expensive.
Very cool man!! I'm happy for you. The Fusion makes this thing even better!
Anything in the drivetrain break yet, with the extra power? lol
Nope nothing and over a dozen packs treating like I do 😅
@@disciplinerc awesome. Might be buying a second one for my son. If that happens, dad needs his to be more powerful, just because hahaha
@@derekarsenault3652 nice!! father of the year award winner right here people 😉👍
NZD$454.49? jezz the real one costs NZD$1,049.00 I know which one I'd be buying eh' 😉by the way I love me a good ole clone!!!!🙃
It's a good value for sure 👌
I am looking to buy a 1/1 scale 4x4 car soon. I will remember - whenever I get stuck - just stick it in 2nd and send it! 🤪
Pretty much my life strategy tbh 😂
Is this stock version? No updates? If yes I could have found my next buy. Seems to be fantastic. Fast enough to have fun, slow enough to have offroad power and great, great, great no fear of water!!! Hope you can give an answer on my first question. Thank you
This vid there were some mods and added wheel weight. I have another of the unboxing 'Fake TRX4' It shows how great it is brushed and stock out of the box 👍
Its not the car its the fun we have with it
Well said good sir, well said. 👍
I have found my new mantra. Whenever life gets tough...SECOND GEAR!!!
Just giver buds!!
how much were the mods?
Nearly as much as the truck 😅 but that said, it's still a bargain with the upgrades compared to a TRX4
You know that’s fair lol
3:34 how??? I know you can't run that fast!
Yes I can!!
@@disciplinerc lmao!
Seems many foreign reviews say the motor mount was plastic on theirs and it flexed a lot (did yours come with the metal mount?). I also seen one guy mention that the links are all loose and the steering is very loose as well. His panhardbar mount was plastic and flexed a ton. I'm hoping these things have been fixed since yours seems to be great lol, I ordered one so I'll find out soon I suppose.
The mount is hard plastic yes. I've kicked it's butt quite a bit and have had no issues. I watched videos of the initial releases too and they were a lot 'softer' then the version I have for sure.
I wish there was a landrover body for this! Looks like a great rc for the money but being from the UK the Bronco doesnt appeal to me at all, dont think I've ever even seen one in real life 😂
I think there is one that might fit. Not as detailed, but it's the HB ZP1005...haven't really looked into it yet tho
You keep mentioning the Fusion motor and the rims, but don't have them linked anywhere? I'd be curious to possibly get one of these if those upgrades make that much difference.
Copy that, I'll update a link in the description when I get home tomorrow 👍 They are awesome!!
Hey, do you know if Traxxas parts are compatible with this?
Negative. It looks like Traxxas, but it's very different under the hood
I’m glad I seen your unboxing video and now seeing this video. It’s a solid rig out of the box and I don’t mind doing little upgrades here and there in the future especially for being under $300 compared to $500+ for the Traxxas TRX4 version. I subbed to your channel as well.
Thanks brother!! Nice to have you aboard. I've put over a dozen packs through this machine and it's still holding up with no breaks You've seen both vids and can see how I drive too! 😂 One of my favorites this year for sure 👍
I have the same one, same color. Only upgrade I did was tires and wheels. Deep Woods on metal bead locks. One of my favorite crawlers.
Nice bro. It's a really great rig 😁🤘
Hello, you are like me when the car starts not to move... full throttle 😃😅💯😎👋
When in doubt, throttle out!! 😂
Your car looks great! By the way, could you tell me how you make your car waterproof?
Thanks!! It's all about the components. It's best to buy parts or look for cars with part that state they are waterproof. Receivers never are and need to be put into a sealed box. You can attempt to water proof items like ESC's, servos etc with various products, but it's difficult
Been waiting for this 🙌 I bought one after watching your first vid and was patiently waiting to see what upgrades were compatable.... Thank you this was awesome
Nice dude!! You won't be disappointed. Favorite crawler of the year 👍
Can you please suggest a good replacement Servo for this model?
Check in the description, have some links for quality servos there 👍
I love playing with the beluga. it is pure fun.
nice video :-)
💯% agreed, love it!
I already have a TRX4 and TRX6. Ive ordered one of these because i want to see how far you can take it and see if it can compete with TRX4 on the trail. Its £149 delivered, how bad can it be?
It's a great price for what you get, and it performs just as good 👍
@@disciplinerc its the price or a replacement TRX4 body lol
I love my new Beluga.
So, did you find it under powered quite a bit in stock form? I just ordered this, so it will arrive anytime between now and next year lol. It's my first 1/10 crawler. I have a 1/10 basher (blx 3s Granite) and a few 1/16 bashers and one 1/24 min crawler. Curious if this thing will feel weak to go over obstacles. Your original review was pretty sweet too :-).
Nice dude! You'll love it. It powered well in stock form, no issues. It will also handle 3s out of the box if you need more wheel speed 👍😁
@@disciplinerc oof, I'd be afraid to run 3s on a 550 motor. I've rear it would destroy the brushes and bearings pretty quick lol. I do have 2 large 2s batteries, SO I would be fine for an hour or so (I have no idea how long batteries last in these, since I've seen myself get 15min out of my Granite, but also 6 minutes haha)
@@derekarsenault3652 Honestly, the way that crawlers consume power, a 5200mah battery can last you an hour easy. They will outlast you if it's miserable out 😂
@@disciplinerc perfect, since my 2s are 6500mah LOL
@@derekarsenault3652 all day driving 😅
1:45 I saw BIG FOOT !
Good lookin out that is dope Lil beast!!!❤️🔥👊
Really great truck for the money 😁
I may have just ordered one nice to see the upgrades on this.
Nice man!! 👌 You'll love it, the 2nd gear wheel speed is so great to have when you need that extra punch 👊
ok I like it looks great but I may want to do a motor upgrade.@@disciplinerc
@@HunterTravels The HW Fusion series can't be beat, highly recommend
great video and great RC! 😍💪🏾
Cheers!! Thanks for checking it out! Great truck for sure 😎🤘
Awesome vid dude..that thing really performed great.loves it👍
She's a beauty 🤩
@@disciplinerc I agree.been toying with the idea of getting another trx4.. thinking now I might go for one of these instead
Very capable now, how was the runtime with fusion
5200mah 3s lasted me almost 2hrs, it had about 33% left when I went to charge it. I was done before the battery 😂
@@disciplinerc thanks for taking the time to reply 👍
That looks very *EPIC*
Great truck and great place to run it! 🙌🤩
Better than TomleyRC already! I wonder if the TRX4 overdrive gear set will fit? Do you know if they might?
I don't think so, it looks traxxas but it's really it's own platform
@@disciplinercoh ok. Still cool though.
Is this rig still going strong? Maybe you have shelved it for the winter?
@@Sp3ktral22 I took it out last week before Xmas. Still great 👍
Do you by any chance have a link for the rims with tires?
I'm going to bed, will watch this in the morning
Sleep tight bro, see you in the morning 🌄
What a beautiful spot to crawl. It looks and goes great. I need to get back to crawling. My SCX10 is sitting in the shed in bits and pieces.
It looks spectacular
🤩👌
Beautiful location!
Yeah I love this spot 🤩
❤❤❤❤
😎👌
🎉❤very good car 🎉❤
👍👍
we need another Beluga video! 😁
🤘😎
I just got one for $130! These videos sold me on them and I couldn’t pass that price.
@@RCscaletrailswe have 3 on the way to Iceland!
This remote control car can be bought in China for 160 US
I believe it
Dude what an epic project the power and flex you gained are considerable🤘 was the price of the truck and mods less than a trx4?
Yes, way less. Spent about $160 on the motor and wheels, and the truck goes on sale between 225-250$
