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 ..read more

I really fancy a new kit to build, something meaty and interesting and having had my first ever play with my mates TRX4 today am rather taken with the idea of locking diffs, 2 speed, maybe dig?  All things I’ve never had in a truck before.    Not been paying much attention for the last couple of years, so what’s available and what is worth it?  Most of all, what’s a quality kit to build and a great car to drive ..read more

Evening all..   When I bought this10.2 I remember thinking how flimsy it felt and I immediately stared thinking about modding it. Then, as the parts list grew and grew, I realised that there wouldn’t be much, if anything, of the original truck left..so I decided I’d just build a truck from the ground up, based on on a VS4-10 chassis kit...and my “High Roller” build was born.    From then on I just used the 10.2 and enjoyed it, flimsy frame and all.  I wanted to fab my own roll cage for my High Roller build and used the 10.2 for practice. The V1 came out really well but ..read more

Looking for a set of 1.9’s around 120mm tall, for mud and wet roots, I’m a bit of out of touch with what’s available at the moment, also I don’t really want to be paying £70 for a set of 4…….   These look great, but I don’t want to be wasting my money   https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/injora-kraken-claw-mud-tyres-19in-m-t-tyres-4-122mm-x-42mm-1354680   Cheers  ..read more

Had this delivered this morning from Appliance Electronics        The plan is build it into a Ecto type truck, I absolutely love the look of the Matt Black RTR version, but not a fan of RTR electronics/wheels/tyres/lower spec parts and not being a kit ???   I’ve studied the differences between the kit and the Ecto and ordered the parts and body required, also I’ve ordered all the electronics off Aliexpress    I’ve gone for the 6 channels ally wheel with foam version of the Radio      So for now I’ll make a start on the kit and hopefully the ..read more

Hi all. Picked up a new to me TRX-4 G500 this week. Not had much chance to play due to work. That is until today. Took it outside in the overgrown garden for a much needed trial. Loving it so far, should have bought one sooner. Already modded it with a set of rock lights and chassis protection, I can see this getting expensive ?.              ..read more

I have been looking to get the TRX4 G500  for a while now as I like the look of them. Trouble is I can't find one. Google search gives me loads but click the link and they are sold out all the time. When looking at the bigger online shops all they have is the TRX6 which is way out of my reach unless it's second hand. Do they still make the G500 or does anyone know of any around? Thanks ..read more

Hello All,    After a long long long time away from RC and having sold all my rigs some 9 years ago I all of a sudden had an itch to get myself something. It kind of started by watching a ton of YouTube vids of xmaxx's and was really into the idea of getting one and I don't know how but I ended up with a trx4 2021 bronco. I really got into the vids of crawling and the realism of the whole thing.    So found a good condition trx4 with some  upgrades including the pro scale light kit (with an issue), rock lights, hobbywing 1800kv fusion pro (it's amazing!) beadlock wheel ..read more
