Schit happens, but I hope they just send out whole new transmissions to people. I HATE when something like that happens and they want me to package up the product and make the 2 hour round trip to the post office, then wait for them to get it. Then weight for them to get around to checking the defect. Then getting around to ship replacements via the slow boat milk run. They should suck it up and just express post replacements and smack the QC guy that fell asleep on the job.

Bro you're so fancy. Did the SOA help with static torque twist on inclines? Do you have a video on how you did the body so it pivots? Did you scavenge off a Rock Van? P.S. Your Amazon affiliate link didn't work for me.

[dudeonther]

You sold me on this one. Buying one today

[randall]

I'm starting to feel the MOG- bug .

[jayfarthing]

Really liking my Trail Hunter too. So far I've just cut down on the number of screws holding the body in place, removed the foam from the stock tyres and mounted the battery low down in front of the motor along with the power switch. Drives really well, and seems pretty much on par with the FCX24 I've got. The turning circle on the stock portal axles is great, despite the extra length it can turn sharper than an FCX24.
Main dislike I have right now is the motor/drivetrain - it's so noisy compared to the FCX24, and find it lacks torque a little, often need to add quite a bit of extra throttle for obstacles where I don't on the FCX. I guess this is expected with the smaller motor size, but I'll potentially upgrade to a stronger motor (but still brushed) down the line.

Might try moving the servo onto the axle, but I do kinda like how it's different to the FMS there.

Ive just recently bought the rock van builders kit because im new to rc, and thought itd be a good way to get to know how things are put together and work.

I'm not a fan of the standard wheels, so if I was to fit these injora wheels would I need to fit spacers to make them clear the portal housing?

[jaytee]

Hi Matt, great vid thanks. Couple of things:
1. What do you think about a quick vid showing how you make your links? I know it’s not complicated but just in case you’ve got any tips or tricks.
2. Not sure if you’ve already done this but going on the general consensus the FMS FCX24 is BIG for a 1/24, would be interesting to see how it compares size-wise with some of these new-ish 1/18’s.

[garethhuwwilliams]

So what happened with the customer service?

[cornfieldcrawlers]

Looking like a great comp build. Axial! You paying attention!!! lol We will see how durable they prove to be, but the electronics rock in the hunter. Dropping some Fast Eddys in tonight to see just how smooth it can be. I`m not actually thinking they will make much difference, even with the bushings the Hunter is smooth. For a stock chassis it has lots of custom build potential.

[PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

Is the Transmission "gear box" metal?
If yes, then the plastik gears are no issue inside 😂

[FlailinMonkey]

I really like the look and how this truck runs out of the box, I'm glad to see there are some option parts for it because it's fun to add stuff to the trucks to make them slightly better. I'm digging the mods you have made in particular to your truck, and hopefully HobbyPlus gets that "metal gear" transmission straightened out for all customers.. I forgot how cheap the T Hunter is priced, $120 seems like a great deal to me for a starter 1/18th crawler.

[greggrube]

Awesome video brother! Cool mods, sucks about that transmission not having the metal gears in it. Peace ✌️

[Js_junkyard]

How did you get it to swing the body to the back? Did I miss that part?

[fellmen]

Can you do a fms/roc hobby lc80 2 speed?

[josephlawrence]

Another great video... I need to purchase a trail hunter... I purchased a rochobby fire horse..about 2 weeks ago but still hasn't arrived yet. There is only two channels on YouTube that I watch for info on micro Crawlers and yours is the one I go to for an honest opinion.

[brianbiro]

Luv mine 2 will B Watching and Following U 4 Sure 👊👍✌️🦼🇺🇸🦅

[jakelayton]

Why didn’t you use the SOA mount that’s made for the CR18P???

[backyardr.c.channel]

Not sure whether to get this model or the evo version with the 2 speed? There is also that fx118 out that looks sweet! Really dig the unimog body though!

[xXDaReasonXx]

which wheels are those? they look like the treal tybe b but deeper.

[andrewrichey]

Damn straight, they’ll be sending me a whole transmission already put together with steel gears if that’s what I pay for that’s what I want, I thought of doing the same thing glad I didn’t now. I will contact them first and say hey I’m going to order the transmission With steel gears you better check and make sure it is
