Popular Post stretch Posted May 3, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2024 I expect I will be the only owner as only seen one other posted on here some years ago but what the hell. I've always liked Unimog's and missed out buying a UMG10 on release so been hankering for one for a while. Finally one came up in the UK so snapped it up. Despite a keen following apparently (I stand to be corrected) they won't be re-re'd as the blueprints were lost when when Axial sold to Horizon. Original plastic wheels and tyres have been replaced with military look metal beadlocks and Pro-Line BF Goodrich Krawler T/A KX 1.9 in Predator compound as apparently these are better for lighter rigs than the G8 one. As it came a with original wheels and centre caps and not wanting to lose them I printed a new set to go with the new wheels. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch Posted May 4, 2024 Author Share Posted May 4, 2024 Cheers mate, felt like a kid at Christmas opening it. For now I'm going to swap the electrics then send it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stretch Posted May 19, 2024 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2024 (edited) Took it out today for it's maiden run. Performed well and the Krawler tyres performed well but think will do even better once broken in. Also first try of the esc i took a punt on the FS-R4D 2in1 specifically to pair with my G7P as it has the ability to adjust parameters i.e drag brake from the TX without the need for a program card. It performed as expected but the drag brake was poor on a relatively light rig despite being set to 100% so might have to look at the traditional separate ESC/RX route like a HW1080. Next issue to sort is the servo arm hitting the chassis and giving me half steering throw on left vs right. I'm going to get a low profile short arm and try that.

stretch Posted May 25, 2024 Author Share Posted May 25, 2024 Fixed the issue of the servo arm (actually the niut) hitting the chassis and also changed the servo for a powerhd one I had in the spares bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 Love the Unimog, really fancied the 6x6 when they came out but never got one. Rare as hens teeth now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy-Roo Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 Just came across this, but the seller won’t post and it would be 7-8hr round trip for me to collect. A shame because they’re so rare now. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/HKEWNxBACAeosisZ/?mibextid=K35XfP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
