8x8 Cross RC 1:12th Scale MC8 Review, Upgrades, Tips and Recommendations

1) Is it any good 2) how was the build 3) has anything gone wrong 4) do you need to be an expert 5) would I do anything differently Andrew summarizes the build by answering those 5 simple questions. Do check out our previous videos in the MC8's playlist for a more comprehensive look at each key stage in the build. Thanks to Simon at www.greenmodels.co.uk for ongoing help and guidance, and for taking our money. Also his site has all the different grades of kit listed so you can compare specs. Also big shout to Mal at Basildon Trail Blazing Buddies for his inspiration and help in answering questions. This is a 2018 spec kit, so differs to the previous by being slightly wider, different wheels/tyres (not shown) and a one piece cab instead of the flat pack version of before. This rig as shown here runs ebay sourced SuperSwamper look-a-likes because there was no budget left for official Proline versions! They are mounted on ebay sourced alloy beadlocks (1.9s). The rigs' standard grey springs (supersoft grade) have made way for red (medium) on the front axle to supply some rebound and support to the heavier-than-normal cab. That is because the cab houses 2 lipo batteries, the Cross-RC light board, a bec and an RC4WD wireless light controller all mounted in the engine bay. RC4WD Baja lights are on the rooftop along with an orange beacon. Headlights and tail lights are from a Killerbody Drift car lighting set (since replaced with std front and backs) Cross-Rc light board powers cab interior light and the 4 orange running lights (meant to be indicators, but off road, who indicates?). This project has only just reached phase1. From here, it's going to be very off-the-wall. Stay tuned! Opening music by www.bensound.com track is "Sci-Fi"
