As always, looking forward to the run video. Excellent job Bud
Thanks. Maybe some running vids after the holidays. I am getting ahead on builds and behind on running, haha.
Simply perfection!!!
Love your videos, always educational.
I ran into the same problem with my V1 scythe chassis and the motor not being centered. Furitek told me to rotate the motor on the mount and to be mindful when setting the gear mesh. Took some time but I was able to get everything to work. You’d think it would all line up out of the box.
Great work as always!!!
Thank you, I appreciate that! Yeah, it could work on the stock plate just barely (still not on center,) but the massive fail is that flat skid designed for it. They could have adjusted the trans over to work. Still don't even think that could get it centered with their aluminum motor mount though. Someone mentioned having to use like a printed mount that centers up the motor. All in all, I am stoked for the BAM motor that ended up in this! Cheers!
Nice part selection for the build. i really love the Scythe chassis, did mine also with the Komodo motor, seeing your CCXRC Chassis build makes me want another. Great Video, Sweet Build!!
Dude that thing is Vicious! It gives me a Heavy Metal vibe. I love it. As always it is a prime example.
Oh you know it Jim! Did you catch the 'SJTA' when I was showing off your sweet micro receiver mount?? A little subliminal messaging, haha. Rock on Rockwolf!
Once again another great video!
Great build bro. CCXRC makes great products
As always...your 100% MIDWID! material.
Thanks BlackSmith, and yeah his black Brass axles went on smooth as butter. Some of the only brass axles I have used I can say that about! One day I will learn what MIDWID means, but I still love that I am 100% it!
Clean my dude ❤❤❤❤
Appreciate that!
Amazing build. Of course. Nice sleek look and clean as s#it
Thanks Dirk!
You're a Madman Mr BC. This presentation was sensational! Had me drooling sir. See u next chat👍🤠👍(actually I'm still watching. Its already a stand out build)
Thank you kindly sir!
Waiting on my ccxrc Furitek scythe chase. Can't wait 🤟 to get it.
I think you are going to love it! Just watch those tiny frame screws!!!
@bcochener I know about those little damn screws lol easy to break off. I'm not liking the trouble you had with the furitek komodo motor. Already thinking of how to get the motor center. Good videos. Happy holidays
@@chrishester2928 Yeah, I have no idea about that motor position on those skids. You could run the motor on the stock skid with maybe like a papers worth of clearance to the motor cover. But no way with the Furitek skid. You saw how close it put the motor to the side rails.
Neither one of them put the Komodo on center of the cover, which I though was the entire design stand point of it and the chassis. Ah, what do I know...?
- Happy Holidays to you as well.
@@bcochener I'll let you know. I also already have the red and black scythe. Doing a furitek/mofo build. This black one will be furitek/ccxrc if possible. Will let you know once they've built
I told myself not to watch this...now I'm on Amazon buying stuff. Thanks alot! Another great build as always 👌
Haha! Thanks so much!
I have just over $700.00 invested in my Scythe build and that was with Black Friday deals! I’ve lost my mind. Lol
It's easy to do!
Love this chassis, thanks for sharing. Much enjoy your builds and videos!
Shame on the komodo motor off-center issue. I've encountered the same. Put a fair bit of time into trying to sort this... 3 different scythe chassis (v1 and v2) paired with all Furitek parts (specifically as listed on the scythe product page, purchased from their store), as well as many other non-furitek components (skids, transmission, and motor mounts) and all have komodo motor off-center, to the point I'm unable to install motor cover without rubbing motor. Work-around I finally came up was to modify stl for surpass motor mount.
Thank you! - Yeah the motor deal is just insane to me. Why would their skid put it off center if it’s made for it? That motor cover looks so good and is functional, I definitely want to be able to run it. I am, however always happier to run a Mofo RC motor, so that’s fine. This BAM is a new one for me as I have 2 Komodo’s in builds already, so it’s a win in the end. Cheers!
Very nice work as usual.
I’m currently building version one Scythe based around the full size Komodo/Stellar. Ran into the same issue of the motor not being centered. It’s so far off it rubs on the driver’s side motor cover. For the money Furitek charges, the design shouldn’t be flawed. Very disappointing. Had I known about this ahead of time I wouldn’t have invested the money. I also purchased their Lizard Pro ESC, Avatar micro receiver and radio. Hopefully those will play well together.
Yes, if I had known I would have saved myself the Komodo as well. Mofo RC to the rescue! I have no experience with the Avatar, but CCxRC seems to really like it.
If you turned the transmission plate with the letters facing the other way the transmission would center up
Rotating the skid would flip the motor to the rear. This plate only has 3 holes to mount the transmission in one position. It's not set up with 4 holes like the Cheat Code to flip the transmission on the skid itself.
Awesome build! Thank you for sharing! Would you happen to have a link for that rock wolf receiver mount. I searched the Interwebs but came up empty. It looks like a clever design/solution.
I found him on Instagram, but no content. Just wondering if that is the best way to reach him.
@@payneja he is a personal friend, but I think Facebook may be the best chance. Not sure if he is selling them yet, but you can ask. I know he is working on some insane stuff. Much bigger than the little mount…
Oh, and thanks for the compliments and tuning in!
@@bcochener thank you! I love the ingenuity of the micro community.
That a great looking 24 , I was wondering would a stock type gearbox and a brushed 50/50 motor fit in to that chassis with out any modifications.
It would fit, but limit you to using the stock lower rear link mount positions instead of any of the riser options - due to the 050 can length. It may limit your up travel as well, with the upper link hitting the longer can sooner.
Basically the same issue you run into on any chassis running the 050. If you want to get really low and have a lot of up travel into the frame, you will hit it, otherwise, no problem I would think.
@@bcochener Hi , thanks for the information , I like the look of that chassis and I did wonder about the brushed motor fitting or not , I might give it a try before buying a brushless motor and esc combo .
Do the transmission gears need grease or is it lubricated from Furitek?
It’s dry from the factory.
Awesome. Is there a build sheet for this. So I can do a build..some type of directions.
You’re kidding right? I think the build video covers just about every detail.
@bcochener true. It's a good video. But just was curious like most rc's they have a manual on how it's put together. Do have something to look at. Video shows alot. But wouldn't know where to start when ording all the parts. Like if all 24th scale parts will work with this or no.
@@mikeinvegas1 Instrucrions are rare in the 1/24 RC world. That is why I put my build videos up. This chassis kit is based around using SCX24 parts. You can always start with an RTR and swap out parts. Good way to get a handle on how they work and go together if you’re new to them. I like them because you can do so much with them, so many after market chassis & upgrades. Cheers!
@bcochener thank u I appreciate it..I been trying to find a furitek scythe build to buy from someone.
How can I get the red motor loop/cover? I have Allred frame I'm building and I need that!!
This was the CCXRC version of the Scythe. Not sure if any other color combos have the red cover or not.
I haven’t seen them for sale separately.
Nice build, i was thinking of building a scythe v2 but i've been having a lot of bad experiences with different furitek products.
Where do you get m1.4 washers? I cant find anywhere. Small outer diameter m1.4 washers are useful but nobody sells them, only nuts. I dont get why most servo mounts are m1.4 but the servo ear holes are 2mm. The only servo mount that has m2 mounting is samix.
Thanks bud. Other than the easily stripped screws and bunged up thread on the roof, I have no complaints. Furitek is sending me out a new roof panel and screws as well, so that is great.
-For any specialty small metric hardware not easily found at hobby shops, I go here: www.metricscrews.us/
Where I get those micro screws I use on those Shapeways JLU handles.
@@bcochener Cool, thanks. Have you tried the king pin bushings that comes with knuckles instead of layers of heat shrink? Hot racing sells them by themselves, $4 pack of 4. HRASXTF04P
Love the builds I’m wondering how many cars do you have??
Thanks bud! I am up to 20 SCX24s with this build... with a few builds waiting to get going. Too many, I don't recommend to anyone. I may start a marketplace for custom 1/24s soon.... haha.
You should! I only have one scx24 I don’t have enough money to build another one so I might sell it when I get bored bc it’s all built
Looking for custome 3D printed Scythe V2 roof or mountable gaurd. Please any help will be appreciated
Check Shapeways. Maybe the have something?
Did you try the furitek lcg skid for the komodo?
It doesn’t say Komodo, it’s for the Scythe or Grasshopper - this is what I used: furitek.com/products/furitek-lcg-aluminum-skid-plate-black?_pos=5&_sid=86eeb3137&_ss=r
@@bcochener
Scroll down shows pic saying support for komodo, wonder if they have a new one i saw this part listed as pre order somewhere.
always such beautiful builds! so you cant use the carisma shocks on regular scx24 chassis? i have a ugly as mofo chassis coming in, i wanna get some carisma shocks for that, hopefully it fits. you think theres any point in building a Traxxas mini?
I appreciate that. Sure you can. You will just have to modify the hardware like I did or swap SCX24 shock ends on to them.
oh, on the Traxxas mini, its all up to you. Im not sure about me. I would love to, but that is a whole other eco system of parts. Well, except wheels/tires.
@@bcochener ok thanks!
@@bcochener yea i figured. Scx24 has more options plus you probably have entire store worth of parts already, id imagine. I have many spares just seeing what works lol
What grease do you use in the axles?
He has udder butter sitting on the table
Yes, Cow RC Udder Butter. Same as a green waterproof marine grease from the auto parts store I think.
Thanks. I need to get some for all my builds that have aluminium axles and all metal transmissions.
You should have left that motor in that's the best motor on the market
How long are the shocks ?
Not sure, they’re Carisma Oil shocks: carisma-shop.com/products/msa-1e-alloy-oil-filled-shock-set
Is that a furitek stellar transmission? Also a mini komoda. Or not a mini? Trying to figure which setup I'm supposed to order. Lol..thank u.. for original motor u was going to.use.. not the one u put in it.
Stellar/komodo. But as you saw, the Komodo doesn’t fit properly with the motor cover. Why I switched.
Thank u. Stanger tho. Because I see alot of people using the komodo in the scythe v2.
In your opinion, what is the biggest difference between this and the angry sparrow?
Isn’t the Sparrow for the AX? I don’t have one, but it is a considerably shorter twin vertical rail setup. This has the long rear/battery tray.
@@bcochener yeah, so many have told me that the sparrow is no good. Trying to understand why, even Furitek themselves told me to look elsewhere 🤦🏻♂️
@@bdog7262 I really enjoyed the build and capability of the HP Dementors. For less money, there is the Injora Kangaroo chassis as well I’ve built. With a few tweaks, just killer chassis at a great price point. Cheers!
@@bcochener have a great weekend
