I have various original Axial SCX10s, Two TRX4s, TRX6, SCX10ii 6x6, Gmade BOM, MST, 2 x Element RC, Wraith and Bomber and i am interested to see what these cheaper brands are like nowadays.
Back in the day when the first FTX Outback came out, they look pretty basic. I did have a Mauler and it was OK but seemed lacking.
This one looks quote complicated and ambitious and for £300 is good value.
The SCX6 is just huge and something I have never seen before, so it is very interesting to me.
If I had to get rid of all my crawlers except for one, then I would keep the Gmade BOM. Such a smooth driveline and incredibly quiet, plus the rear cantilever suspension is something different and works really well.
Post a thread when your RGT arrives. I would be really interested to see what you think of it.

Right i could of sworn a video on YT showed the green as a Matt finish but i have this wrong , my bad and sorry if i have inadvertently mislead on it. But im still happy with the colour
No problem. I might have to think about this now.
I am also thinking about the SCX6 so not sure which way to go.

In the news add it says a matt roof so i think its gloss body with matt black roof
But does look a nice green tho
Yes, I understood that the roof is matt on all of the colours, but @Lone-wolf says there is a green one that is entirely matt.

I think it is a matt finish, cant see them doing it gloss and matt https://uk.banggood.com/RGT-EX86130-PRO-Runner-1-or-10-2_4G-4WD-or-2WD-RC-Car-Rock-Crawler-2-Speed-Off-Road-Climbing-Truck-LED-Lights-Vehicles-Models-Electric-Remote-Control-Toys-p-2003014.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=6287837&rmmds=search
Maybe it isn't matt then. This looks pretty glossy to me.

I saw the green one on banggood, but it wasn't a matt finish.
Maybe it has gone out of stock.

Looks like a nice truck. Some videos I've seen show that it needs bigger wheels to avoid getting high centred. Other than that it seems good.
Can you post a link to the matt green please? I have seen that they do a blue, red and green, but none of them are matt.

If you have the budget for the TRX4, then it's clearly the better choice. If you only have the budget for the Carisma, then keep saving and buy a TRX4.
Really top quality rc with a huge support in the aftermarket.
I'd also suggest a good brushless system such as the Hobbywing AXE or Fusion, as the TRX4 drivetrain is very robust and wheelspeed is good.

He exiled himself from this forum when a member was banned in early 2018. I'm guessing the mods have purged various accounts.

My bad I meant the motor with the spur and pinion the mesh is very tight sounds terrible
Strange, the mesh is set based on the preset holes in the motor mount. Mine is pretty good, although it isn't the quietest crawler I have. My GMade running an older version of the transmission in yours, is very quiet indeed.

Ok but no RC is perfect my TRX4 is having binding issues a common problem from what I’ve read
I can't say I have ever had binding issues on any of my Traxxas models. I am not sure what your issue could be, unless the receiver has got wet and died. The Traxxas bind process is pretty easy:

Good luck. These aren't without their issues:

Element Gatekeeper, so just standard axles, i will probably just go metal, the element plastics are weird.
They do sell them:

https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/316598/ - Hard Plastic (these appear to be the stock ones)

JUST GET A CLASS 10, THEY ARE FASTER SO WILL BE FINE.

I'd stick a CCTV camera up and mount a sprinkler up there. Just turn on the tap and give them a dousing.

Pull the jumper and see what you think. You might like it, or you might not.

I wouldn't do that. How will you unplug it if it starts smoking for example.
Just wait.

You should always turn the controller on before the car.

This is why i never buy TRX.
They force people shop Local in the beginning.
And they force hobbyshops sell TRX products to beginners who asking about new car also.
Mafia style.

@norwegiarc Are you RCCAR4LIFE on a new account by any chance?
Seems likely. This would be his third account. He was also @m-racingby the looks of it.
Forum guidelines do state you can only have one account.
Mods?

Redcat did a black version of their Gen8 Scout II a while back that came with an Hobbywing Axe brushless system.
