| CrossRC EMO XT4
anybody seen this thing yet? It is a 100% direct copy of OffRoad Design's Stephen Watson's K30 right down to his shop's logo. I sent them and email about it but he already knew. He is trying to get them a proper sticker package and I assume get something for it. Cross-RC-EMO-XT4-4 by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr The 1:1. 2318 by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr |

Yeah, I typically check BigSquidRC daily, and then Harley mentioned it on his YouTube scale news thing. I love the look, and hopefully credit ends up being given where it is due as far as licensing! Wouldn't mind seeing if the body would mount on another chassis, myself - this body built on top of something like the SSD Trail King would be EPIC... |

This body would be epic on another chassis if you could make it work. Maybe a SCX10.iii? I'm not sure on the wheelbase but that can be fixed easy enough. | |

The JT4 is on my short list, and this one is pretty cool too.

I have never built a Cross crawler kit, this rig makes the prospect tempting. They nailed the body design, it’s cool. Reviews on the quality of their trucks aren’t positive from what at I have seen(mostly here on rcc). Are they really that bad?

Smog, I built a KR4C Demon kit and it was honestly the most chill build I’ve done. Everything fit without any issues. I purchased and installed the updated transmission at the time of assembly. Axles were already assembled and greased with the normal Chinese “bizarre smelling” grease. I disassembled, cleaned, and regreased with red & tacky. Shocks are really nice and included “in Demon C kits” tires, 2-stage foams, and beadlocks are great. I bought the KR4C for a leisurely driver, but I’m certain that it’s capabilities exceed my intended use for the rig The biggest complaints around the Demon series was the weak stock transmission. The gears resembled gears you’d expect to see in a wristwatch. New trans is inexpensive and has thick beefy 32 pitch gears, but there’s no motor adjustments so you’re stuck with the included pinion. Second, Cross’ customer service is horrendous. Easily the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Obviously parts availability is limited to few distributors. The new trucks share next to nothing with the Demon series. Completely clean slate design and feedback on the new trucks is actually very positive, but again, hunting parts down will be a bit more involved than your crop of “regular” brands. |

The demon trans sounds like poor design. Not allowing room for pinion adjustments seems incredibly short sighted | |

The videos that are out n the XT, AT, and JT rigs look pretty good. I plan on picking up a JT series kit at some point.
