It's beautiful design and extremely capable. I can tell you feel extremely happy with your design and you should. It's very rewarding when an idea works well. The problems were no problem. You may have to come up with a problem seven for this crawler. It's very generous of you to share your design. That's what I've always like about the r/c hobby. Most people are willing to share and help others. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Michael, I appreciate the encouragement there. Yeah, I probably do need some extra tough lines for the more capable stuff to run. I'll get to that at some point! Cheers :)
@@RCTNT I was only kidding about adding an additional problem. It was my way of saying your design conquered the problems easily. I suppose you could add some extra rocks to one of the existing problems. To creat a whole new problem would be very time consuming and a lot of hard work.
Nice! Am I the only one bothered by the motor noise? Makes my brain hurt. Appreciate the free chassis and it made the 6 problems look easy! Great to see DIY.
Awesome! It gets even better - I've got a few more if you check my UTB18 playlist or search the channel for UTB18. Wait until you see the latest update (one of my most recent videos)!
Wow, that's nice! I've watched some videos with that Axial, it looks quite nice! And of course what you did to it really made it quite capable! Quite amazing it did all the 10th scale obstacles so easily. The ESC sounds really nasty, though... Very nice design, and nice you made it available for people!
This noise divides people. Some hate it. I don't mind it personally, but I'm going to test a few cheaper ESCs with this cheap motor soon, then I'll let everyone know what cheap brushless combo is good value. I'll hopefully find one that cuts this motor noise right out!
Awesome! I really hope you like it! Don't forget to grab the instructions from the page, too. And I have more news coming in early Jan about the UTB18 and making it more comp-ready. Also, don't forget to check my recent video about the RC4WD pin tires, they seem to be just made for this car, even better with my HT Feather chassis. Less weight = more great. Just needs a little brass in the front and some overdrive and you'll be laughing.
Dang! I guess I should cancel the Bully 2 I recently ordered! Seriously, well done! I'm typically 1/10th scale or larger....but this is very interesting to me. Thank you for sharing the video and the files!!
There's the Shapeways option (linked on my site where the download is), and also the friends/Facebook group option of asking someone to print it for you. Glad you like it!
No worries, @@vhrte49 . Honestly, if you're considering doing one of these for yourself, watch the full video, it isn't long. I cover everything in the video and make it clear what's needed (a UTB18, the 2 lots of 8x screws, and then what mods I'm running). Easy and effective. If you try it out, I'm sure you'll love it :)
In all honesty, I have never downloaded anything in my life & really never plan too. 3D printing still needs another decade at the least before we end up with actual quality parts. Factory billet aluminum parts fail little alone thin plastic layers.
Oh, I think I'll have to disagree with you on this one. Many 3d printed models are strong enough for the intended purpose. Selecting an appropriate material for the job means there are heaps of 3d printed models that are durable and sufficiently strong to work perfectly well - including this chassis! I wouldn't want it made from alu due to the weight, though if money were no object, I could order this stl file be produced in titanium. Such service already exists, though this chassis would be $400+. Not really necessary when the 3d printed version is sufficiently strong for intended purpose. Injection molded plastic would be stronger but it really isn't necessary if the physical force to be exerted on the piece is planned for and managed in the design. I get what you're saying and you're not wrong in that there are weaknesses to parts made in this way, but they can still be entirely fit for purpose if there's some thought behind their creation. Cheers
@@RCTNT yes the ESC making the motor make that noise. That mini castle ESC makes all the motors make this noise . I personally also hate it and would do my head in on a crawl day. It's like a prespool sound like it's Ramps up the Amps before moving
Looking good Craig. I’m excited to print this iteration
Thanks, I'm happy with this final version of the HT Feather! Couldn't have gotten there without you, HT :)

@michaeldorich4485 ah not really, and I've been thinking of adding a bonus one or two for a while
Thought you said 6 problems, I did not see any problems. That thing is amazing. Great job. Thanks for sharing your creation.
Thank you! It's been a satisfying little project, this.
Nice! Am I the only one bothered by the motor noise? Makes my brain hurt. Appreciate the free chassis and it made the 6 problems look easy! Great to see DIY.
Lots of people don't like it, yep. I'll be testing a few ESCs soon and I'll ensure I find one that deals with the noise.
Wow, thats a great little car now. A tiny mountain goat, and took all 6 'problems' in its stride. Very nice. 😎🤘🏻
Great work, another quality video, thanks for just being you
Thank you 😊
Zero problems!- What a beast‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
Excellent work man, that thing is no joke! Wow!🙌🏼💯😎🤩
Love the body, and I can't wait for a slow rain day to swap it over and test the heck out of it

Gonna have one made for me sharing this with my sister in law which has a bamboo printer.
Thing looks amazing.

No worries! Enjoy your Bully II - this one is free as long as you have a utb18, so why not both!
This definitely makes me want to build one I don't have a 3D printer though

Absolutely awesome can't wait to give that a try with my utb 18. Thanks for the video and as always keep up the great work.
Awesome, I hope you like it!
Very interesting rig! Performs great to say the least!
Yeah thanks, I'm happy with it!
Thank you so much for this! I'm printing it now. Signed up for email also.
My pleasure! Hope you really enjoy it.
Very nice!!
awesome!!
What problems? It gave absolutely zero fu@k's what it was climbing. 😂 100% Cheat code. 👍🏼
It was a bit like that, wasn't it
Do you know the max battery size that can be used?
I use 450mah 3s batteries on mine. Recommend 350 to 450mah 3s. If you wanted to go bigger, you'll need to get creative.
What axles are they?
Everything's in the description, but these are stock axles. I just have some brass on the ends of the fronts.
@@RCTNT Cheers bud

@@RCTNT yep i watched the whole thing. I dunno why i asked about the axles. I just assumed they were aftermaket lol.
Oh right, fair enough! I do that sort of thing often as well. All good, all good!

Sorry, I can't watch the video... The motor noise is just...awful 😱😱😱! Thanks for the sharing 3d files parts!
Haha fair enough
It's the ESC ya wallies 😂
It's the motor making the noise. The ESC is the determining element (specifically the PWM frequency it operates at) but the noise is from the motor.
@@RCTNT yes the ESC making the motor make that noise. That mini castle ESC makes all the motors make this noise . I personally also hate it and would do my head in on a crawl day. It's like a prespool sound like it's Ramps up the Amps before moving
WOW what a very impressive rig you have ended up with Craig - congrats! And also congrats on your generous 3D offer.
