RC ADVENTURES - 1/18th scale RC4WD Gelände II Land Rover D90 Defender - RTR

Click to Subscribe! ► - This little rig is a blast.. though, it is VERY bouncy, and the ESC does not allow for a slow, controlled crawl. The tires are Air Filled, with foams, out of the box. This makes for some very reactive suspension-like movement over the "boulders" I was trailing along. Regardless, for a 1/18th sized machine.. it sure is fun. I think some easy mods will definitely help the performance of this little rig. I think I will fit it with a Tekin FXR crawling esc, which will allow it to have a better slow crawl. Also, Im considering letting some air out of the tires to let them form over the terrain a bit better. This, OF COURSE.. is IF I can get it away from my son long enough to have some fun.. haha. He loves this rig.. and plays with it (without the remote) most of the days.. (he is 2.5 years old). What can I say.. he is obsessed with it, and I can't blame him. Here is the video of Dad and Son unboxing it together:
Folks always ask me about where I get my rigs, and the specs. Here is some information I was able to get from the RC4WD site:
