In this thrilling episode, Tomley RC dives into the world of the Cross RC Iron Ball, a robust 1/8 scale four-wheel drive tractor that packs a punch without breaking the bank at around $1,000. Drawing inspiration from a futuristic concept by an Australian company, this beast of a machine offers a glimpse into the future of RC tractors. The team doesn't hold back as they deck out the Iron Ball with accessories like spare wheels, a metal plow attachment, and a hefty 2.5-kilo ballast weight, doubling the excitement and the cost.
With a keen eye for detail and a touch of engineering finesse, the team tackles the challenge of fitting the plow and wheels, even delving into transmitter modifications to ensure seamless control. Despite facing hurdles with the receiver setup, they ingeniously opt for an 11-channel Fly Sky transmitter for enhanced functionality and ease of use. The modifications pay off as the team showcases the Iron Ball's impressive lifting and turning capabilities, elevating its performance to new heights.
As the modified Iron Ball hits the terrain with added front and rear wheels, the team puts its pulling power and durability to the test through muddy tracks and challenging obstacles. From navigating tricky terrains to overcoming technical glitches like a loose servo arm, the team's determination and passion for RC adventures shine through. With plans for future videos exploring the tractor's capabilities further, this episode sets the stage for more adrenaline-pumping RC action and innovative modifications on the horizon.
