AXIAL SCX24 Chevy C10 - Unboxing and First Impressions
I widh you would have shown how you connect the motor to the transmission. I purchased this kit and not to happy with it not having the pinion nor any motor mount. It dont mount right up with the same size. This was supposed to be a scx24 easy upgrade. I feel the injora or furitek are the right way to go. If you found an easy way to install, i would love to see what you did.
Will the stock traxxas remote work?
@@justinbounds5932 unfortunately not, you’ll need to factor a new radio and receiver if you are still on the stock one.
I removed my windows, saves around 30ish grams
@@JS-fl6ur nice idea, bet that helps with the top heaviness. 🤙
Nice truck and upgrades, great mini course! 👍New sub! 👍
@KPtain_RC thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video and like the truck. 🤙
Do you have to have the injora esc to run the injora brushed and brushless motor or can you just run the stock esc like the spektrum esc from the c10 v2 for example ?
You can run an injora brushed motor on the stock esc. If you want to run any brushless motor you will need a new esc that is brushless capable and will then have to get a new radio and receiver as well. Hope that helps. 🤙
@PhilBrindley well its forsure staying brushed for awhile now all that aint fitting in the budget lol
I was thinking about the 2400kv on 3s. But after watching, maybe I only need 2000kv. My current crawler is a modified moa 4ws basher rocksta, and the worm drive axles are snail speed. Anything will feel fast to me now 😂 Thanks for posting!
It will certainly feel quick after one of those, but it is still only a slow walking pace in reality. I’m happy with it though.
This is for the gladiator long wheelbase right?
Hi, Not specifically. It is designed for the C10/JLU/Bronco wheelbase. You could use a Gladiator wheelbase I think, but would need C10 sized chassis rails.
1 inch rims with 64mm tires? Trying to plan out my build..
@@hubsessed Yes, that’s what I have. Works great, 🤙
@@PhilBrindley What are your fav tires?
I just got this combo from Horizon Hobby for less than 5 dollars! What a steal!
That’s such a bargain. Can’t go wrong for that price. 🤙
I got mine installed but the throttle is reversed and my remote doesn’t have an option to switch the throttle to reverse like it does for the steering
Hi. If you download and connect the config tool you can change the motor direction in there. 🤙
are you using any ND filters
@@fpvmello it was a long time ago, so cannot be 100% sure, but I don’t think I was using an ND filter on this one. Thanks 🤙

@@Mikeyrgt nice. Kinda wish I’d done the same.
Another good honest review of something you've bought with your own money. I haven't looked through a lot of your videos yet, but I'm pretty sure that if something stank you'd say so. Also, I'm really enjoying your relaxed presentation. A lot of larger rc channels are hosted by middle aged men acting like excited teenagers. Lol
@@the.just.able.biker67 thank you. I’m glad the approach is working. I’d certainly say if I didn’t like something, or I thought it was a dud. I suppose that’s the good thing about buying the things myself. As for the style, I’ve been a laid back middle aged man for 35 years, even when I was technically a teenager! I don’t really do excitable. 🤣 Thanks for watching and interacting with the videos. The positive comments mean a lot. 🤙
That was excellent. I'm currently building a trx4m from parts I'm ordering from various sites after buying a carbon fibre lcg chassis from AliExpress for a tenner. I've got a 64g brass skid plate, aluminum high clearance links and standard traxxas bumper mounts. I've got a pair of wider aluminum axles on their way from china. Im thinking about fitting some brass parts to them just to add a bit more weight low down, so I've just put those brass blocks into my Amazon basket. I'm still researching which shock absorbers to get. 59mm seems to be a popular length, but I don't want the truck to sit really high and tip over all the time, so I'm going to look into it a bit more.
@@the.just.able.biker67 sounds like it’s going to be a beast! The shock on this build are pretty nice, would like to try the proline big bore ones at some point too. Thanks for watching. 🤙
Injura?
is this set waterproof??? and will it fit a trx4m injora tarantula
No, it is not. Specifically the ESC is not. You might be OK with the motor though. Personally I would be looking at the Hobbywing Mini24 ESC if waterproof is a deal breaker for you. 🤙
Hey Phil, Curious if you ever got any running footage?
I think I did get some, I'll see if I can dig find it. I have since sold this truck though, so not much chance of getting any more 😭
Yeah, lose that dopey rubber strap, use velcro...
great vid, can i use my stock radio handset with this set up?
@@LazerFingers not entirely sure, but I doubt it. Traxxas probably wont allow pass through on their esc/rx. I think the original scx24 electronics may be able to do it if you are using those.
Probably grinding them in with payoff for them. But I think there's just not enough squish. Which does seem to be a very common thing with the 24th's. I think not having enough of a contact patch and not enough of the tire wrapping on the surface is leaving a lot on the table in terms of performance. It's a matter of getting the squish AND having sidewalls that don't cave in. The golden ratio! LOL! When I get time I've got some ideas to dive into tire squish and contact patch size. Great vid Phil! Love the SCX24 stuff!
Thanks, appreciate your comments. The Injora silicone inserts are great and really help with the squish, but they are quite bulky in themselves, so the tyres only squash down about halfway. The improved sidewall stiffness means that they are still way better than the foams, but you are right that there is a limitation on the squish and therefore the contact area available. 🤙
I don't need it, but man, I think I'm gonna have to cave in and get on of those body's. Injora really did well with them.
One thing I'd like to know is if the motor wires that seem to be on a tab, sticking out sideways from the motor can be bent flat? Would be nice for some fitment situations. As is it sticks out quite a bit.
@@wingnutbert9685 this seems to be the same issue for all of them. On my furitek I warmed up the heat shrink and moulded that a little, but it still stuck out. I’ve had drone motors before that had solder pads instead of joined wires, much better for this application.
That out door bit looks like your right out my window! LOL! Only a few thousand miles away!
It’s a great little spot, one I should visit more often. You’d never know it is a stones throw away from one of the busiest roads in the UK!
Windows only.......schit! Only have Linux.......Android?
Yep, that’s what I thought. Don’t think it will run on Linux or Android, unless you have some sort of simulator? Sorry. I will reach out to Injora though and check/ask.
@@PhilBrindley Thanks Phil. Bit of an oversight on their part. Be nice if they had an app. Even if it just allowed plugging the tuning module to your phone. Fingers crossed. I've got mine sitting in the box. Hoping to shoehorn it into my MB24 build. Thanks again! Bert
@@wingnutbert9685 I've reached out to Injora, so will let you know. In the meantime, I've been doing some research and think that the MBL32 ESC is running on AM32 firmware. If so, there is both a web-based configurator and a Linux configurator. I tried the web one, and although it did connect to the ESC, it didn't read the config properly. I now need to check it on the Windows PC in the boy's room to ensure it's not cooked! 😳 So maybe worth a look, but at your own risk 🤔
Actually, I can't be sure that this is running AM32 so I'm going to say probably don't try this. It's not caused any issue with mine, but also it would not properly connect to read the settings. Time to stop tinkering before I do irreparable damage! 🤣
@@PhilBrindley Thanks Phil! I'll look it up and I hope your ESC isn't fried!
Great video Phil. Keep on crawling!
Thanks, will do! 🤙
Great video Phil thanks! Would be curious to know if the fat viper transmission combo would work well with the Quicrun Mini 24 ESC?
Thanks for watching. They will certainly work together, and have the same connections so will be plug and play in that sense. You might have to tinker with the settings on the Mini24 to get the best out of the motor. Maybe I'll give it a try over the Xmas holidays! Will let you know if I do. 🤙
Do they make an adapter to use the stock traxxas battery on this kit?
@@rogerbahr9117 hobbywing doesn’t as far as I know, but Injora does (of course they do! 🤣) www.injora.com/products/injora-xt30-to-jst-rcy-jst-ph2-0-trx-4m-t-style-ec3-battery-adapter-cable
@PhilBrindley wouldn't it need to be traxxas to Male JST PH2.0 and not the xt30?
@@rogerbahr9117 Yes, it would. Although I would swap the PH2.0 over to an XT30 on the ESC (as I did) as that is a more reliable connector and opens up a raft of other battery options. (Nothing's ever 100% simple though, is it 🤪)
I am so glad the algorithm brought me your channel, the quality of your videos are amazing!!
@@essy_loser god bless the all knowing algorithm! 🤣 Welcome aboard and thanks, glad you liked it. 🤙
That’s a great looking rig. Impressive performance, too
@@pocketfuloducks1062 thanks. It’s certainly a lot of fun, and pretty capable too. I’ve added a sprinkling of brass since this was filmed and am itching to get back out there with it.

Injora pinion is 0.4 mod don't you need 0.3 for it to work?
It is indeed, straight fit on the TRX4M as its spur is also 0.4. Would need 0.3 for SCX24 (which could be challenging to find) or a conversion kit. There are some links further down the comments in response to @Danielxperez14. 🤙
Thanks I'll look into it
Learned much from this video ❣
Glad to hear it was helpful ❤

@ thanks!
Looks very interesting Phil it seems aimed more 1/18th traxxas . What is that chassis/body called and where can I get one . I'll have to treat myself to something 1/18th I've got the Capra and really like it . A good honest informative review again 👍👍
It’s aimed at 1/24th as well, but won’t bolt straight on to an SCX24 gearbox. Not sure about others at that scale. The body/chassis is a MEUS ripper. Looks super cool, but as with all tube chassis designs it’s very difficult to build and work on. For someone like me that is always chopping and changing parts it’s a bit of a nightmare tbh.
Hi Phil what battery did you use
They are GNB HV 450mah stick batteries that I use in some of my small drones. www.hobbyrc.co.uk/gnb-450mah-2s-80c-lihv-battery-xt30
Man, now I’m looking forward to breaking the driveline on MY 24th scale rig! Lol
Nooo, don't say that! From what I have seen they are not a direct fit for the SCX24. You would need a Furitek, or similar, motor mount.
Hi Phil. I have a Furitek Cayman V2 Pro. When I bought the haviest Injora brass rims and 70mm tyres, it could go up 60° steep hills due to the center of gravity. BUT the stock motor-esc-combo is not strong enough, so that it is cogging at hills steeper 45°. Do you think the hobbywing system you showed can handle the weight of 0.8kg of the vehicle smoothly also at steep slopes. Greetings Ferdi
@@ferdinandmaier1070 I feel pretty sure that it could. I’ve transferred it to my IR40 build which weighs 658g and that’s no problem for it.
Main reason I went with hobbywing esc , easier to program and slightly smaller footprint
@@areadierc2803 the program card feels kinda dated in a way, but the simplicity of it is great. Once it’s set to my liking hardly ever change anything apart from drag brake, and hey, they’ve solved that problem perfectly.
Great video, I'm using the injora fat viper motor on the hobbywing esc . Works perfectly on 3s lipo .
Nice one, I’m going to try out the Injora ESC with the Fat Viper. Will be interesting to see how the two different approaches stack up against each other.
Shame there not that easy to fix to the scx24
And slightly ironic that you need a furitek motor mount. I suspect there is a 3d print option somewhere. But you’re right, it’s a shame it’s not a direct fit.
👍👍
Good evening again Phil I really like your honesty at the end it's refreshing that someone will test and re test just to make sure they've done a good objective review. I've just built some 1.9 class one wheels using pro line hyrax tyres with injoras 4.19 soft inserts not run them yet but they feel quite good when held in the hand etc. Keep up your fair but honest reviews and you really are getting the hang of presenting lark . Yours Geoff
@@geoffreywilliamson722 thanks Geoff. I’m all for honest reviews mate. So I’m glad that came across.
Good evening Phil sorry missed this . Another very good review and I really like the look of this body I'd snap one of these up if they ever do one in 1/10th as I think it's spot on for use on a class one rig . Having said that it's looking like I'll have to get myself an scx24 lol.
@@geoffreywilliamson722 haha, always good to see you in the comments, Geoff. Don’t buy an SCX24, build one! 😉

Probably the best small (57mm) tyre you can buy, wish they did a 63mm size
