Really enjoy your vids & seeing your great reviews of the latest innovations & designs in the RC world… and I’m not even an RC enthusiast/ don’t currently own an RC, yet… 😉 Hey just a tip you & everybody probably already knows… but I also enjoy watching the scale model builds, and I see most of those guys use Tamiya’s Panel Line Accent for darkening their body/ panel lines, it seems to be much easier/ more forgiving to apply and may give you better results then the markers. … since its like a ink, or very thin paint, they just put a dab of it on and flows right down & around the panel lines, then they just wipe off any excess on the body with Goof-off or rubbing alcohol to leaves a nice clean consistent darkened panel line.. I think Tamiya offers it both Black & Brown.

Never knew that about the box being a scale backdrop, that’s unique 🤙🏽

I have two 1/10 scale rigs. One is a heavily upgraded comp crawler, and the other is a stock trail truck that I plan on keeping stock. I've been wanting something that is already really capable, but that I can modify a little bit. I think this falls into that category.

Nice video, especially like how you point out the spectrum.

BUT, the FT-shocks aren't Kashima coated, they are bronze anodized.

Always a pleasure to watch your reviews! I bought myself the Sendero HD recently - now thinking... hmm... should I have bought the Ecto instead?!?!?
Ok - it is not really water-proof... So well made decision... :-P

[RobKingRC]

I have this truck and love it!!! Awesome

[alantaylor]

Yip... It's all about that clearance Clarence.!
Though if you'd ask Victor he'd say it was all about the vector, but what does he know.?

[ACeperienceRC]

Thanks for the great & informative review! 👍🏻👍🏻

[RobbyRCPROBE]

Wooow this truck is really a great crawler :).

[osbaldoiturrino]

I'm digging it looks all right 💯💯👍👍

[lamarcdesign]

Matt's Offroad recover already has a RC. :D

[adamadams]

Cool truck, think the frame and suspension could make a cool trophy truck also

[thejeepinrealtor]

I have the green body and I think it looks fantastic.

Gonna maybe build a station wagon body.

I got one of these for a Christmas present this year and on day 3 of owning it the ESC fried and for $470 I expected it to be at least as good as axial. When I contacted the company about the problems I was having they honestly were not helpful just seeming snobby. Maybe someday they can put worthwhile Electronics in it but for now you're better off getting a kit version

Awesome!!!! Are theshocks adjustable to lower it? 😮
