RC ADVENTURES - Huge Exceed RC MaxStone 1/5th Scale 4x4 Waterproof Crawler

Click Here To Subscribe! ► - OK! Everyone has been asking me to do a video on a BiG Truck that is LOW Cost. That is difficult to do...BUT! There are some options. Time to take out the MaxStone 5th Scale Crawler. This this is waterproof (so they say) - but I noticed the receiver is not in a Waterproof Box! Beware of this - as splashing may cause an issue. The receiver doesn't look protected in any way.. but the truck is SO BiG.. you would have to really take it swimming to cause an issue, (In my opinion, that is). Over-all for the money (currently about $300) it seems like a fun, capable truck. The Plastic is weakened in the cold.. so be careful if you drop it, or send it for a tumble. I cracked an axle tube by dropping it to get some snow off. It couldn't handle the weight and cold. It's like that with any plastic RC, I've found - though some better than others. It has some great potential to be upgraded.. I already swapped out the servo for a Waterproof Savox. The stock servo is waterproof.. but the Savox has considerably more torque for the big tires in the snow. I am running a 7000mah 2s Lipo (GensAce of course!)

Here is some info from their site:

The 1/5 scale ready to run Exceed RC Max Stone Crawler was designed with bigger is better in mind. From the ground up, every detail was thought through to provide a excellent crawling platform level base kit to work with. Previously the only way to build a 1/5 scale sized rock crawler was to buy bits and pieces of several different kits here and there. This long and sometimes frustrating process could take as long as several months just to get the right parts together before you could even start the build. Now you can get a factory built chassis and be able to hit the rocks with your truck right out of the box.

The Rock Crawler embodies similar features to its smaller breeds. Multi-link suspension and axles provides articulation and power to all 4 wheels through locked axles and individual motors for each axle. This provides tremendous grip and torque and allows the truck to overcome any obstacle that it may meet its path. The links are adjustable so you can tune the crawlers stance, adjust its droop and characteristics for different types of terrain. An all aluminum chassis ensures rigidity and stiffness combined with durability. Oil filled, threaded, and adjustable shocks allow fine suspension tuning. A whole list of awesome features of this truck are listed below. This is Exceeds largest crawler to date and it is impressive!
