- [Aaron] This is crazy!
Here it is the end of March
and all it did last night was snow!
I'm gonna go inside and do an unboxing for you guys.
Can't do outside today, that's too bad.
Hi. - Hey.
- [Aaron] You excited?
- [Jem] I am.
- [Aaron] This is exciting times, isn't it?
What do you think?
We gotta push it over into the middle of the room.
Is that cool?
- [Jem] I love box day.
- [Aaron] Pretty heavy? What do you think?
- [Jem] No, he's got the muscles, he can do it.
- [Aaron] Look at this. Muscles.
The box is as big as you!
There you go!
- [Maurice] Dad, but I'm stronger than the box.
- [Aaron] You are stronger than the box.
I think that's a really good spot, hey?
- [Jem] I actually like the fact,
hey Maurice can you talk about your shirt for a second?
'Cause right on the back it says
you're an RC Addict in Training.
- [Aaron] I see! Nice shirt!
You got this on our merch site!
- [Maurice] Yup. I'm just going to move my chair.
- [Aaron] That's a good idea.
I see that your shirt looks on backwards.
Can you tell me why you have it on backwards?
- [Maurice] Because I love it.
- [Aaron] Nice! You like RCSparks up front, don't you?
Is that the truth or what? (chuckles)
Here. Want to flip it around?
- [Jem] (laughing) I'd love to.
- [Maurice] I'm ready to open it.
- [Aaron] I'm also ready to open it.
- [Maurice] Yep.
- Okay, so I know this box was sent to us
by a company called Cross RC.
- [Maurice] Hm hmmm, it was.
- [Jem] Hm hmmm.
- Right? They were the company that actually made
the vehicle for Bumble Beast.
But they knew that I was building a Spintires truck.
A Mudrunner. Or the last Mudrunner truck I built
was the King Kong RC, the CA-10.
And they said, "No, no, no. We have a truck
"that would be almost directly out of that game."
- Yes.
- [Jem] Spintires is a cool game.
You've seen Spintires, the game, right?
- Yep. It's like spin the tires--
- In the mud.
- [Jem] That's a great spinning tire impersonation.
- (laughs) Okay, this is a huge box.
I have no idea what is inside here.
- [Jem] Hmmm. It's got fragile.
- Yeah, it does. It got shipped
all the way from China.
- [Jem] It's a long boat ride.
- Hand built it for us.
- [Jem] Good. Thank you!`
- Ahhhh.
- [Maurice] Let's put it down.
- They knew the viewers of the show
would be super excited to see something like--
aaah, look at this.
- Come, come look.
- [Aaron] (laughs) The GC4 1/10 scale 4x4.
And I have heard that they have done something
super special for us.
- [Jem] That is a super cool body.
- [Aaron] That's neat eh?
- [Maurice] Oh dad let's put this out.
- [Aaron] Okay. Hold on. Hold on.
Let's discover this together.
Look at all the individual plastic bags.
- [Jem] Oh my gosh. I look forward to cleaning that.
- Woo! It's like a party up in here.
- [Jem] It's snowing bubble wrap!
- (laughs) I will be responsible
for cleaning it up mom.
(laughter)
I can now individually wrap all of my screws.
- [Jem] Oh it's snowing. Bubble wrap angel.
- Bubble wrap angels. (laughs)
- [Jem] (laughs) Ohhhh.
- Are you gonna help me with this?
- [Jem] Oh this is a big box, we need muscles.
- Okay.
- [Jem] All muscles on deck.
- Here's a piece. Hand painted.
- That's the bag. That's the bag.
- Be careful.
Put it on the ottoman for dad please.
Right over there. Do not drop it.
Thank you.
- [Jem] Rule number one.
Don't drop it. - More styrofoam.
- [Maurice] More styrofoam.
Yeahh. This one (mumbles)
- Oh my gosh. I have more bags!
(laughter)
Oh man. You wanna sneak a peak?
- [Jem] Can I?
- Come over here.
- [Jem] Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
- Look at this.
- [Jem] (gasp)
- Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, booooom.
- [Jem] So neat.
- Oh my gosh. They included a radio.
- [Jem] Thank you.
- Thank you Cross.
Okay so it came with two backs?
- [Jem] Wait. What?
- It came with two backs.
- [Jem] Really?
- Hm. I have no idea what is in here.
- [Jem] Hey let's take a step back.
- Wow. Okay. They did a really good job packing it.
Making sure that this wasn't gonna get damaged.
I gotta take out one piece at a time guys.
- [Jem] Let's see this.
- The RC--
- [Maurice] Look at this guys.
(laughter)
- [Jem] Many bubble wrap bags had to die for this package.
- Oh my gosh. Here we go.
(blows air)
- [Jem] Oh. What?
- They said that this would be
one of the coolest things in our collection.
- [Maurice] Can I see?
- Hold on I'm getting it out still.
- [Jem] Dude!
- Yeah.
- [Jem] It looks like I'm actually
looking at a video game.
- [Aaron] This is like the communications or mechanic truck.
- [Jem] Wow look at that rusting detail. The aging.
- [Aaron] Oh my gosh.
Look at this. They got a shovel on the back.
They know that we're coming up to 10 years
on making RC adventures on YouTube.
Yeah, oh this even gets better.
They wanted to send this along
to help us celebrate.
- [Maurice] There's a spade.
- I know baby. I see it.
- [Maurice] A house.
- [Aaron] Open it up.
- [Jem] Maurice come look at this.
- [Aaron] Look at this.
- [Jem] What?
It opens the whole way. - It's the inside.
- Yeah!
- [Aaron] Yeah.
A specialty truck.
Holy doodle.
This is like straight out of the game,
for when you need to repair the Lumber trucks.
Wow! - [Jem] Whoa.
What? That's amazing.
- Their attention to detail on this stuff is insane.
Okay, good. So there's one compartment.
I wonder if this is where the battery would go.
- [Jem] Gotcha. Smart.
- Or a sound unit
as well. - Hey Mo,
what do you think about this?
- [Aaron] I think he's more thrilled
with the amount of plastic. (laughs)
- [Jem] Hey, how do you entertain your child?
Just have a whole bunch of packaging material.
- [Aaron] It doesn't take anything expensive. (laughs)
- [Jem] No. Parents be warned,
don't buy expensive toys for your kids.
- [Aaron] No. Sticks and very small,
well I guess these are kind of--
- [Jem] Buy expensive toys for your husband
not for your kids.
- [Aaron] Okay, so communication antenna.
(warble sound)
- [Jem] Oh, seriously cool.
- [Aaron] Calling out to everybody,
letting them know there is something going on.
Thank you for helping me clean up the plastic
by the way Maurice.
It's very kind of you.
- [Jem] Yeah.
- [Aaron] This side door opens up as well.
Everything like that.
- [Jem] Oh man. Look at the inside.
Its' so neat.
- [Aaron] Did they do something cool?
- [Jem] Well it's just that you can see through.
It's a nerdy thing but when you can see
through the windows it makes it just--
- [Aaron] This is the connector for the battery.
They were nice enough to give me a secondary conductor.
So you can put the battery on the inside
and build a whole unit.
- (laughs) Sandwich.
- [Jem] Tires. Like they even feel gross.
Which is like a compliment 'cause it's rusty.
But it's--
- [Aaron] All rusty and grimy.
- [Jem] It even smells rusty and grimy.
- (laughs) It's about as authentic as it gets.
So I am looking at,
let's look actually underneath the truck for a second.
Wanna be extra careful.
Guys don't get me wrong.
I am always feeling so privileged
to get something like this.
We don't ever take these kind of things for granted.
- [Jem] They're a treat.
- They're a treat.
We're so lucky to have all the viewers
here on YouTube to be able to share something
as amazing as this with you guys.
And I've gotta get a battery to put it in here.
I gotta turn it on.
- [Jem] What size battery do you think you need?
- I'm gonna put in a normal, just like a little,
5000 3S battery in here but I wanna check
the ESC first just to make sure that it can handle a 3S.
I'm pretty sure it can.
Cool. They did so much for us here like, everything.
Look at this, hey even went into detail
about what the buttons are.
Handwriting it in there.
- [Jem] Nice.
- Yep. Pretty cool. Like I'm stoked.
- [Jem] Very cool.
Seriously cool.
- [Aaron] Did you note that actually
and this is a tip for our viewers right now.
They did the weathering with salt.
They left salt on the inside of the rim.
You can see it shining all crystallized there.
- [Jem] Which in a cool climate we live in,
that's a real thing.
- Yeah. I got it all over my truck
right now. - Yep.
Hmm, delicious. - I try not to but
that's the highway in Canada.
(shrieks)
- (laughs) He expresses it as how I actually feel.
- [Jem] Yeah. He physically is excited.
He's physically excited.
(laughter)
- I'm gonna gently lift up,
carefully releasing the cab.
Oh man! Look at this.
- [Jem] So they're just on tabs?
- Yeah. Right here.
They just kinda squeeze right in to the tabs.
But look they've gone in and done all the painting.
All the way down, even onto the motor,
the servo in there.
Even the spare tire's
all properly rusted. - I know that's so cool
Gross. And awesome.
- Okay. On. (beeping)
oh yeah!
- [Jem] We got lights.
- Yeah. Holy cow. Lights on top!
Lights in the front.
What do you think mo?
- [Maurice] Yeah.
- Yeah. Looking good eh?
Do you wanna hear something neat?
Watch here. If I can get her going.
(motor starting)
- [Jem] That sounds like a real truck.
- A diesel. They have a volume button here.
- [Jem] Let's see it.
- And a horn. (horn blasts)
There it is.
- [Jem] Always gotta figure out a new machine.
Just like driving a standard,
you gotta get used to the clutch.
- [Maurice] Beep! Beep!
- Beep beep! Let's do it again.
(engine starting)
So cool. - Yeah.
(motor running)
- We're gonna have to put this in your room eh?
You can have it on your bench
as long as you don't push it around too hard.
That's impossible. (chuckles)
- Do you want to drive it around a little bit?
- Yeah. I wanna drive it around.
- Okay, let's do it. Let's do it.
- [Jem] Okay good. Check. Tires work.
Lights work. Check.
(loud engine running)
- See the signal.
- [Jem] Awesome.
(engine running)
- [Maurice] Okay. Let's do it!
- Hey. Putting it down on the ground.
- [Maurice] Let's get it down to the ground.
Down to the ground.
(engine running)
(horn blasts)
- [Aaron] Okay. And it has a 2-stage transmission
high and low. Whoa. There it is.
- [Jem] Oh wow.
- [Aaron] That's so much faster.
- [Jem] That's speedy.
- [Aaron] And that's not even full throttle.
(engine running)
Woooah!
- [Maurice] I didn't know fast it could go.
- [Aaron] Super speed.
- [Maurice] Let's see if it can cross this whole thing.
- [Aaron] I don't think it'll crush it against the wall
but it can definitely go over this stuff.
- [Maurice] Yeah. Let's take it down.
Okay. Like this.
- [Aaron] Okay it's a little too high for dad's truck.
There we go. Ohh. I wanna be careful not to roll.
There that's gonna be too high brother.
- [Maurice] Oh. That's too high.
- [Aaron] I notice that the volume is louder in reverse.
(engine running)
- [Maurice] (mumbles)
It's not idling up, I can hear that.
But when you get it lots of throttle
she gives it and goes.
(engine running)
- [Jem] Very awesome.
What do you think Mo?
- Good. (horn blasts)
- What do you think? - I'm a happy guy.
- [Jem] Yeah?
- I'm a happy guy.
Super cool.
- [Jem] Okay. I need a Maurice and Aaron scale.
How many thumbs up for this rig?
- [Aaron] I give it two thumbs up.
Two thumbs up.
- [Jem] So we got four thumbs.
- [Aaron] We're gonna take it out
into the mud one day real soon hey?
- [Jem] Yeah. Well that shouldn't be a problem.
We have enough mud.
(engine running)
- [Maurice] I'll race it.
(engine running)
- That is an awesome Spintires truck!
- [Jem] Yeah. They did such a good job actually making
it look just like the video game. Amazing.
- [Maurice] Hey truck.
(engine running)
(engine accelerating)
- [Jem] That low?
- [Aaron] That's low gear.
- [Jem] That's still a decent speed.
- [Aaron] Yeah. And the sound kit sounds really decent.
It might not sound good in my camera mic,
but I tell ya in person it sounds decent.
Okay, here we go. Faster speed.
(engine accelerating)
That is not crawling. That is called owning the trail.
- [Jem] Yeah that's called you're late
for your shipment and need to drop it off quickly.
- [Aaron] Yeah.
The mechanics and communications truck.
Okay listen. We gotta say thank you hey?
- [Jem] Yeah.
- [Maurice] Thank you.
- [Aaron] Not only. Come here. Calm down for a second okay?
Can we do this in a nice way to say thank you to Cross RC
from RC Sparks and all the RC Adventurers out there
that's gonna be inspired to go out and build a new Cross RC?
Yeah? There, what do you guys think?
I'm gonna leave some information in the video
description box down below.
If you're in North America and you wanna order
some Cross RC products we've got a great site
for you to check out down there.
You okay?
- Hm-mmm.
- Yeah, I know. We're getting over a cold aren't we?
Anyway guys, thanks a lot for tuning in.
A big thank you to Jem for taking the time to film for us.
And as always guys we'll see you
in the next episode of RC Adventures.
Now get outside and have fun with the hobby of RC.
You know I always do. Bye for now.
- [Maurice] We have to use this.
- [Aaron] Yeah I think that'll work actually.
I think that'll work.
- Try this.
- Then how's it supposed to get up the other side?
- That way.
(engine running)
- [Maurice] (chatters)
- [Aaron] That's a little too high
but we can try it again.
- We can do that.
(engine rumbles)
- Sure.
- This will be
the finish line right here.
If he tries to drive into the--
Oh, no, no. There's much wreckage.
No I should grab one.
- [Aaron] I see that. I'll back up.
- (chatters)
- Cool.
Ready? Okay move so the camera can see.
He can see. Come and stand on this side.
- [Maurice] No I'll be the checker.
(engine rumbles)
- (laughs)
- [Maurice] Go this way.
- Go ahead.
(engine rumbles)
- [Maurice] You win.
