Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted December 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2023 I have finally taken the plunge and ordered what i feel is a premium crawler, it should be here 28th Dec, its the Cross RC NT4 Unimog RTR. I have wanted an Unimog for a long long time recently been looking at the options like the FCX24 mog, and the Hobbyplus 1/18th T Hunter, both pretty good rigs given their small size, but i really do prefer 1/10th scale. So the NT4 is an updated AT4 chassis in essence and has the 2 speed transmission and the front and rear remote diff lockers also has portal axles , i guess very similar spec to a TRX4, also i see now it comes with a rebrand 6 channel Dumbo rc radio set and i think it comes with a large capacity 2S lipo My plan is to keep it pretty much stock, maybe just a bit of scale detail possibly a driver figure, sadly due to ever limited storage i will need to shift a rig or 2 to create space for this model, however since i bought my Element Gatekeeper and turned it into a slightly modded powerwagon i have not used the others so this will not be a problem for me, will update this thread once truck arrives, here are some pics taken from Youtube 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSeaRC Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I'm sure it will be a great performer. Where did you order it from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised he managed to get hold of the NT4 so quickly. I didn't even know it was available in UK yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One part was missing from the kit but Simon sent it to me next day. The PG4A was one of the earlier kits when Cross-RC was a relatively new company but they are pretty sorted on quality nowadays. I have always found Greens Models to be a good company to deal with. Do you have any plans for the rear load-bed of the NT4? I see they do an upgrade kit with a proper load area and tarp cover. In my opinion they should really have supplied that load-bed from the start as it adds much more realism. I think the standard part is polycarbonate and the upgrade is ABS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 Good reply, no real plans for load bed, looking at getting a few scale parts just to "make it mine" fake winch for front bumper, i have an orange "recovery " type roof light that i think should go on, i do really like Unimogs especially the 425 version. i may get some heavy wheels but the stock tyres seem decent, need to see what they are like when it gets here, of course i will be updating this thread as things progress, the NT4 should arrive 28th dec 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 A few tiny bits done to the Mog this morning, fitted wider 8.0mm hex`s to widen track by about 6mm total and use up some spare axle thread. painted the fake fuel tank straps silver, just because i could. Found a scale tow bar in the parts box and hey presto it fits, not thinking of using it but its on there in case i want to 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 Right one little niggle with this cross Unimog is the way the shell is held, we have 2 post and pins in the rear bed, then 2 small posts the back of the cab slides onto one in each lower corner of back of cab then 2 hidden posts in front under the grille, its a bit tricky getting body back on but with a 5200-6200mah not like you have to keep taking body of to change lipo`s.....however there is this hard body bed that stays fitted and just the cab then comes of but at the moment another £60 is a hard ask, but i am thinking i may get it in the near future, it has a lift up hatch to get to battery, next time i have the truck out i will try and show the mounts, the stock rear bed is held to cab with a good amount of screws 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 That hard rear bed does look smart and with the awning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 some pics showing how the body fits to chassis, so there is a pair of posts and holes in the rear bed, then a pair of posts that the back of lower cab sits into with no clips, then a pair of posts under grille that go into holes in back of bumper with retaining clips, its all a bit fiddly but its getting easier the more times i take of and refit shell, currently working on a driver figure, Victor is seated in his driving seat but waiting on glue to dry before i can continue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
