    Hi, I’m about to install the same two speed transmission to my scx24. I’m wondering do you think a furitek cedar motor can bolt on to the Fcx24m transmission? I ordered the motor a few days ago but I haven’t received it yet, because of the Chinese New Year. Any thoughts?

    • @havikhobbies
      @havikhobbies 22 години тому

      @@alejandrocueva3372 It's all trial and error, I haven't tested that combo and there's not a lot of space on that little transmission to mount the motor, it's designed around the little 050 size brushed motor so I don't think the cedar will bol up. Also when considering using this transmission in an SCX24 don't forget the transmission rear output spins opposite to the front, that may present some challenges when using axles other than stock FCX24M axles.

    This is one of my favorite videos on mini crawlers on UA-cam. I don't think many rc hobbyists think allot about crawl raise. Heck even allot of off-road enthusiasts don't think about this. Allot of people in this hobby, and off-road motorsports, will throw larger tires on their rigs for the look without doing the math and regearing their drivetrains. Then they wonder why their rigs perform like a dog. If you're gonna go from a 50-54mm you're to a 70mm tire on your scx24, which is approximately 30% bigger then you need to go to some 1/12 gears (33% reduction) front and rear, as a starting point, to keep the stock motor and gearbox happy. I'm looking forward to this fcx24m I've got coming and throwing scx24 axles on it to dial it in. Or maybe just throwing the fcx24m drivetrain into my MEUS mb24 build, with scx24 axles of course. I come from playing with Suzuki Samurais and Toyotas, so I'm a total nerd for gearing.

    • @havikhobbies
      @havikhobbies День тому

      @@TarylWalker I agree many people forget to adjust their trucks gearing in order to support other mods. I also used to mess around with old Suzuki 4x4s and when the big tires went on the first thing to get changed we're the diff gears, you can't see them, they don't make your truck look cooler but the difference in the dirt is massive! One truck I had ended up with 5.13:1 ring and pinion to offset to change in tire size! Thanks for your comment and for watching the video 👍

    • @TarylWalker
      @TarylWalker День тому

      @havikhobbies It's definitely a learning curve. My first sj413 had 33x10.5 tires on stock gearing. It looked cool but it was a total dog off-road. Then had a 4.16 tcase and 32x11.5s on my second one; the 57:1 crawl ratio was so much better. Then on this last one I had, it had 4.9 tcase with 5.13 diffs giving it a 92:1 CR and with the welded rear diff, power steering and Toyota carb on 33x12.5 it could go anywhere (except the freeway cuz it topped out at about 50mph). I really like your videos brother, keep up the good work 🤙

      @ yeah it’s thumbs up from me because all these scx24 builds just stick to rock crawling. But this fms 2spd and brushless motor give it that trailing option which in my opinion really complete this build. It doesn’t look like a rock crawler but a Baja truck which now performs like one too. I’m trying to put a lc80 together and going by your example any new updates on yours? That LC80 video was also pretty good. You steered me into upgrading mine. I dig all your builds and you definitely know how to use nice and budget parts which helps a ton for guys who just started with this hobby. Underrated channel.

I’ve only experienced with the 18’s at the moment and the aftermarket for them sn’t that vast or customizable compared to the 24 scaled trucks but they’re fun. I’m messing with a mini Godzilla motor in mine and trying the whole Baja truck with the lc80 but it gets too wild for its size. Pretty much how you went with this build crawler/trail rig. Mine definitely needs some serious suspension improvements. I think I had it up at 12mph if not more 😬 anyways subbed and will look forward to new videos and new concepts. 👌

These axles would be best used with the matching FCX24M Transmission as the SCX24 stock Transmission wouldn't provide enough gear reduction with the ring and pinion axles.

    Wish I saw your “watch this video before buying one” … before I bought one! Has been sitting on the shelf for a long time. I’ll try the simple fixes first, see how it goes. Everything else I think is beyond my level interest and budget - I don’t have spare parts sitting around. Thanks for the ideas 👍🏻

    What did you have to do to get that motor to fit? Nice video by the way.😊

      @@ganon420 Thanks! The bolt pattern and shaft size fits the TRX4M transmission perfectly, However the motor has a large coller at the base of the pinion shaft that spins with the shaft AND has to fit INSIDE the transmission case! You have to carefully remove material from the transmission case so the collar has room to spin. It was a royal PITA! Also the stock traxxas front drive shaft hits the motor so I made a hybrid cr18p/traxxas shaft by gluing two shafts together! Might not be worth the effort for most people but I'm pretty stubborn sometimes! Absolute shaft snapping monster of a motor though, HUGE power!

    Hey man! What bumpers are you using on that build? Is it the one that injora sells as the one for that body but says compatible with the redcat ascent? I just want to know it because they look amaizing, high clearance, and want to know if it is compatible, love the vids man! If you do answer will keep you as a contact in any questions I get! Haha, if it is compatible I’m going to finish my trx4m injora build, and complete the full custom build. Cheers

    I bought two of these stupid things on sale last year, thinking I would play with them with my two nephews that are 4 & 7. I charged the battery up, and it wouldn't even climb a stack of books in my living room. Prior to buying I had watched video reviews of these that made them look cool, I had no idea they were so weak. I haven't run them since, haven't even bothered to investigate why they're so slow just immediately lost interest. One of them has never even been out of the box.
