Ok because a lot of you said the LAEGENDARY GRANDO was no good I did a comparison video which can also help if your looking at the GRANDO as a first crawler or 7th crawler also here’s the run video and comparison video

especially when its only $100 moreI appreciate the review but IMO I shy away from any amazon special rc car.
For me, I would go with the TRX4 all day long.
Thank you, it’s not a bad truck also yes replacement parts could be a problem if the company stops making the truck but if you go to their amazon store they have every single replacement part for that trucks which is impressive from a small company, I totally understand everyone has different opinions I think the grandos more of a trail truck than crawlerIt was a nice comparison, good job on the vids. Your crawler course is also looking good. I don't think the Grando is so bad for an entry level rig. The only thing I would be hesitant of, is replacement parts a year from now.
I think you've come a long way in a short time. I know sometimes it may seem like we are coming down on you, but we are really just trying to share our experience. But it's good to try things on your own too, that's how you learn.
That looks sickMy first was the HPI Venture Scale Builders Kit... alot of fun assembling it... I'm using a (TRX4) XL5-HV ESC and a Holmes Hobbies motor.
I also have a Traxxas Summit, but the HPI is my only true 1/10 crawler, for now.
The grando does have all replacement partsUpgrades and replacement parts makes the decision for me. The TRX4 wins hands down.
They may be available now, but what is going to happen in a year, or 5, or 20? I have multiple cars traxxas cars that are made in 90 and parts are still mostly available. I also have cars that are sitting broken because it was discontinued 3 years after I bought it newThe grando does have all replacement parts
Yes that’s true, also thanksI think @Doom! nailed it when you first posted about this rig. You are not a salesman, just an enthusiast doing a review. Stay objective.
Having said that, you do seem to have a bias; and That’s not an insult, just my perception.
Sometimes the tone of Someone’s message is lost in text, so don’t take it personally. I think most everyone on this forum is pretty considerate, especially with the the state of social media these days.
I still think the truck has a lot to offer for the money, and could be a great starter. Trying to convince a group of knowledgable RC Nerds that they should consider this rig over a traxxas is a big ask.
Your videos were pretty good, and show a lot of promise, keep up the good work.
Could you tell me the brand and model of the body you have used?My first was the HPI Venture Scale Builders Kit... alot of fun assembling it... I'm using a (TRX4) XL5-HV ESC and a Holmes Hobbies motor.
