I shoot all my videos on the Sony a6500 in 4K, with Sigma 16mm, 19mm & 30mm and 55-210mm f1.4 lenses and the Zhiyun Crane V2.
I love the 24s!!! I can drive them anywhere and make a quick obstacle course. I have been driving them more them my 10 scales, since I can sit under my porch with drink in hand and relax!!!🤘🤘🤘 Great first episode
Right on!
“ initiate the introduction! “ 🤣👌. Gold!!!!
I've had a lot of very cheap R/C cars over the last 40 years from companies like New Bright, etc. and I've never taken a deep dive into the hobby before but now that I have children I'm looking into this as a hobby that I can do with my boys as they grow and teach them to save their allowance money up to buy upgrades and to just have some fun with Dad! I've been doing a lot of research so far and it seems like the Axial SCX24 would be the best place for us to start, I'm gravitating more towards the 1:10 scale stuff but the smaller 1:24 scale stuff looks really fun and cool too! I'm thinking that the best thing to start with and I'm a Noob to this (but I do work on real Hot Rods, 4x4 Trucks and Jeeps too!) but I have to agree with you that you made the best choice to get the center of gravity and the weight down lower, I liked the upgrades you chose, maybe even the brass diff covers as well, next I think I would go with the aluminum suspension kit, and/or weighted wheel and tire kits, and since you now have stronger, heavier axles go with larger tires, then maybe upgrades to the servos due to all the added weight, then I think I would handle the cosmetics like the body swap and the details like adding more lights, etc. I just Subbed BTW!
Already spent it, reefs 99 with DSM servo mount, sidewinder micro 2, gamy rc motor mount and little cheap eBay 1408 outrunner. Brass, wide axle kit w/ Brass, stretched with C-10 front links on the deadbolt 145mm now. Cut some generic dollar store soldiers head off to replace helmet. Eliminated light bar with a tree sprag that was laying around. Mod 19 rock sliders to mount new electronics on. Running on 3s 450mah battery. Hot racing shocks with softest springs set as droop essentially mounted shocks on drastic angle to the chassis for droop. Rc4wd breaker wheels with scramblers. Treal Overdrive front diff gears. Obviously moved over to an SR215 and driving with DX5c. Stinger front bumper from Thingiverse! Oh and that’s just 1 of the 4 scx24s I have. I also have what I refer to as the Stroker Betty because it’s number “383”!
I have bought 10 of these little buggers. Gave 6 away as gifts and only 1 remains stock. Fun little trucks.
I think I found my new UA-cam addiction, THANKS MATT
Here's a tip for anyone building a SCX24, use the shorter wheels and tires from a RGT/Barrage/CR24 and a 1/20 scale body, not 1/24 or 1/25. This ends up looking dam near dead on like a 1:1 scale rig on 38s. Iirc the Lindberg "Big 1/20 Scale" Ford Explorer Sport even fits the Deadbolt wheelbase perfect 👍 Yes, the shorter tires effect performance, but if scale looks are what your after I think this is as close to true to scale as you can get on a SCX24
Worst comment
@@yupyup8572 The worst? Awsome! Technically I did the best at something, it was sucking ass! But hey, better than being so bored you resort to being a UA-cam troll. 💁
I have four SCX24's. The front axles are not typically a point of failure unless you're a terrible driver. IMO, unless you're trying to go wider, they're a waste of money in a budget build-off like this. Put that money into a stronger servo or wheels/tires. The brass knuckles are a good part.
I bought those brass knuckles by accident. Now I guess I’ll get one.
SCX24 very cool. Will stay tuned.
I got a c10 as my first rc, just starting to mod it. I would recommend reversing the battery tray, helps a surprising amount for keeping the front end down considering its a free 5 minute mod
Huh I'll have to do that. I was just kind of pushing the battery forward which kinda helped.
I'm with Josh, wheels and tires first.
Gonna be a rad series with the 24s💯😎💪🤙✌️
Own 3 24s! 2 are out of the boxes..one has very minor upgrades (2 Betty’s & a C10)..I like the Deadbolt & just might have to pick one up lol 🤷♂️😁🤙✌️
Pro tip for Brass parts. Buy some brass blackener and they will match the truck again. They also looker pretty trick when they start getting scratched up.
I have 3 can’t get enough of this platform building my 2nd 1/20 hardbody now.
1/20 for the win 👍
I have 6 of them, from all metal to all 3d printed parts!! cant wait to see what you do Matt!!
Never seen the orange Deadbolt body on this platform. Looks great.
It's red. But lighting seems to have effected it a bit.
@@scalebuildersguild ahhh, I wondered.
Tell Axial to make an orange dead bolt!!!!🤘🤘🤘
I stopped the video, watch Josh's and today I went a picked up a red Deadbolt and some wheels and tires. Metal next 🤠🤘👤
The scx24 is a great little platform and I’m excited for this build series 👍. I actually tried my first weathering on the little c10
I have 4 all modified differently. A deadbolt that I turned into a bouncer style buggy with true 4WS, double barrel shocks, stretched with rear links on the front and rear lots of brass, and Furitech speed control. A C10 back halved with MOFO RC flatbed and double barrel shocks and lots of brass. A C10 with MOFO RC Truggy kit that I left the bed side’s and tailgate and rear trailing arms, gutted front axle, hot racing internal spring shock, a fast motor, and a bigger battery 2WD Pre runner style. And a C10 that I beefed up the suspension with hot racing oil shocks to pull the triple axle gooseneck trailer I built to haul the rest.
I love these things! I bought the Chevy First, then a couple Betty's. My daughter (2 years old) Showed a ton of interest in driving daddy's trucks so I purchased the jeep with an extra body and painted it Peppa Pig pink. She Loves it and asked for brass wheel weights so she got those too! ;)
This budget build should be a blast! Just one SCX24 In my stable, nice little stock Betty.
Great idea! I love this truck. What would i do next? Brass diff.l covers/ Emaxx servo/ Double barrel shocks. Free mods: add O-rings to the steering linkage, battery/ESC relocation.
Two SCX24's - red deadbolt, and grey Chevy C10.
My first "hobby" mini RC's.
It's never been about performance 😆. I have 4 in my stable and one I've done a lot to including hacking up a model kit to get a different body on it. Really excited to see what you do for the body(ies). Great to see you and Josh doing the budget build again, gonna be awesome as always!
If you want super accurate scale looks on a SCX24, get the Shorter CR24 Wheels and tires and a Lindberg 1/20 scale model kit for the body! The 1/20 Ford Explorer Sport fits the Deadbolt wheelbase and on the CR24 tires it looks dam near exactly like a 1:1 Explorer on 38s 👍
Matt - I have 4. 1 of each body. I’m not a fan of the Deadbolt but your body looks a LOT more orange in the video than my red one. I think theses are very capable chassis and this should be fun to see what you and Josh do.
Looking forward to this build-off. I just ordered the green C10 a few hours before you posted this.
Mini Brass-Hole!
You need to "creatively interpret the rules" like Josh does
I have the c10 and it’s my first legit rc crawler and I have upgraded the servo (emax metal gears) tires/wheels, front bumper, suspension and added some lights to it
YES SCX24S ARE PERFECT FOR THIS
Furitek ESC, hands down the best upgrade you can do to the 24. Throw in a aftermarket rx and radio for even better resolution and slow speed capability, though the stock esc used as the rx will still work.
Almost forgot, get the bluetooth module too so you can tune that increased capability.
Power Hobby carbon fiber chassis rails are like $5 Team Garage hack is a little nicer, but $20.
Its a great lil truck, Ive got a huge list of "upgrades" , most just look pretty lol but steering links are a must...
I have 5 SCX24's, at least one of each, except the Betty. I just picked up the 1993 Ford F150 clear body that I am going to put on one of the C-10 chassis'. One thing to give a heads up that I have found out to add body clearance, move the shocks off the towers and they will bolt directly on to the frame so you are not having to do major trimming to the Jeep and C-10 bodies when you increase tire size.
Take the rear shock mounts and flip them. Bone stock it will climb way better. And descend anything!
I have two so far. I had the old Lost Trail Trekker, and these are so much better!
You guys should do a pre runner scx for a monthly mayhem, the idea just popped in my head watching this for some reason
I just bought a Deadbolt... First real rc car... I love it.
Love this. I'm a great fan of unsprung weight. Weight not riding on the suspension. First mod too. Excellent!
I've got 2 and my son has one. Mine have both ended up with as much money in upgrades as the original vehicle cost. But also a great platform to us 3D printed parts as they hold up in this scale.
Excited to see what you come up with and hopefully get some creative ideas for mine 🤔.
Thank you for all the content.
+1 on the 3D printed part. Especially if you got a resin printer to print out very high detail "scale" parts like fuel tanks and such..
What parts did you all print bryce?
@@rc4lifenl952 various bumpers, sliders, light buckets, servo mounts, links, pivot balls, spring spacers, etc I think I'm getting good enough at slicing files to maybe do cage for like a tube buggy type set up.
I just need to invest in fusion 360 or something so I can design my own stuff instead of just using other peoples files.
I have a new Betty in the box and it is going to stay in the box. But I'll buy new SCX24 like your this week. Good built idea.
Heck yeah, prices went up on these lil guys though. Btw servo and barrage motor, wheels and tires
I began following you and Harley Designs some time ago. After a lengthy absence from the RC hobby, I was excited to hear about this build challenge. I was really anticipating this series because I began building an SCX24 Deadbolt from scratch as my reentry back into the hobby. However, after watching both you & Josh’s videos this week, I have a question for you: Is this considered a “budget build” or “budget modification”? I am currently in my initial phase which is building out the chassis. I will pose the same question to Josh on his video in hopes to get a reply from at least one of you guys. Looking forward to the challenge and your videos!
Not sure I understand the question. We name this series the Budget Build-Off, in that we're both building trucks. Not necessarily from scratch, as we usually start with an RTR. I guess a more accurate description would be Budget Upgrade, but that doesn't really roll off the tongue. 😉Thanks for watching!
@@scalebuildersguild Yes, I meant from scratch. I guess I'll just need to follow the Deadbolt exploded view in the hopes of getting it right.
Thanks for replying and for your explanation. All I received from Josh was a vocabulary lesson of the meaning "build" in the rc hobby (which I disagree with).
Cool series, missed it when it came out. #Scx24 got me into the hobby great platform.
Thanks for watching!
I have2: a c10 with lots of brass and brushless, and a Jeep that is stock with RC4WD tires on stock rims. The c10 was a headache to get to this point, but is a real treat to drive, and finally feels reliable
The stock jeep is very tippy, but with only a tire upgrade and steel washers will follow any line with careful driving. Throttle control from a Furitek is fantastic, and is a very valuable plug-n-play upgrade for a brushed setup. Jeep might be getting one soon and call that truck good!
Glad to see you guys doing this series. I have a fairly heavily modded scx Jeep. For a first swap, I like doing wheels and tires! I've since discovered Injora parts for budget options! Enjoy!
I have the white jeep JKU and most of my money went in to brass wheel weights, steering knuckles, steering drag link, and some other things. I still need to get tires and wheel hex adapters to fit my shaka hobbies wheels. I definitely want to do aluminum axles and drive shafts eventually
Got a JLU which my partner bought me for my Birthday. I added a few Treal parts. Might wanna have a look at them. They even have an overdrive gear set.
Awesome can’t wait for this… you bet your brass it’s better 🤣
Haha nice one.
Following and enjoying!
I’m so excited for this!!
I absolutely love my hardbody gmc scx24.
My wife, daughter and I all have a different scx 24. We absolutely love them. My wife did the brass knuckle mod and what a difference that made. Going to check out the steel driveshafts. Thanks!
I need one of these for camping, I feel like my 1/10 would be a bit cumbersome to stow around
Matt, I recently got my first Micro Crawler, SCX-24 Deadbolt. So your series is going to be very helpful!! Like I told Josh, I'm glad this is back, and am going to really enjoy it!!
Great budget build l will start upgrading my scx24 jeep
Thank you great build series
I have 3 running and 1 still in box.
Never into crawling until I saw these. I have built a course to run them on.
C10 heavy mods. Betty just brass hexes
Dead bolt stock but has rc4wd stamped steel bead locks and mud slingers.
Cool! Thanks for watching!
All u need is Rc4wd rims mounted deep dish style with Rc4wd tires. Emax servo stock tray. Hot racing aluminum steering rack. That's it. Maybe brass diff cover upfront. That's it. Anything else and u will spend 1/10 money
Week one would be wheels and tyres straight off the bat. And that's budget done for me here in the UK
Decently a fun lil truck! I’ve really enjoyed building it up to perform
I love the 24s. I have two of them. Only really changed the wheels and tires. And the extended axles on the deadbolt. Great video
I bought the c10 back in December ran it twice in my basement & never really got into it? Just sat till about a week ago & I been driving it around downstairs. Looking forward to see what you & Harley do with this series?! Everyone seems to dump 100’s of dollars in these little things cannot really find just some basic upgrade vids? Not trying to spend $1000 on this little thing just a few upgrades to help performance & that’s it. I got gspeed chassis kit & tgh/hh sherpa kit coming that is more important lol!!!🤪👍🏼
All I've done with mine is brass front diff cover, EMax servo, aluminum steering link, tires and beadlock wheels. I think it's easy to get carried away with adding weight, which can be over-done.
I have two, the Green C-10 and the Betty still in the box. Have not done anything to it yet. Hoping to get some good Ideas from you and Josh.
Yup i got the green dead bolt. I got hr links, axle housing. Brass knuckles, extended drive shafts and brass diff cover. The wheel weights too.
I got to get a new servo and wheels. I took the wheels of the betty and put them on the deadbolt.
I just wanted to do this more then any thing else.
I'll be following. I have the deadbolt the c10 and the betty. I got to get the jeep. That next.
I just got mine today. I went with a battery relocation kit, greased the shocks, and adjusted the bumper and body
I just grabbed the Deadbolt a couple weeks ago and already put the Treal +5mm brass hubs on it. They make a big difference. I also bought some Mud Slingers, but I am waiting for wheels to give those a try. I am pretty sure I will have to cut the body to keep them from hitting, but the grip is going to be crazy with them.
This is my first 1/24 crawler and I liked it so much I bought the gray C10 which should be here in a few days. Awesome little rigs for sure!
Should be a fun one for sure. Look forward to seeing how it builds up over the next few weeks.
I have a 1/24 crawler, unfortunately it's not the SCX24. The first thing... metal beadlocks and bigger, softer tires. This, of course, would make the steel axles a necessary upgrade. But I'm getting ahead of myself! Great episode, Matt!
Thanks for sharing this great video I just got my first mini crawler!
That's great! Enjoy it and thanks for watching!
I have seven total and only one scx24 is in stock form. ;) Can't wait to see your rendition.
So glad the Budget Build Series is back! Absolutely love it when y'all do these series!
Thank you for a great video!
Love the "Orange" Deadbolt where can I get one of those? I heard you got some new lights for your studio. LOL 😆
As always, thank you and keep up the awesome work. I greatly appreciate it.
Love my SCX24s (Deadbolt and C10). Great idea for a series!
I have 2 of the jeep with a bunch of upgrades Emax servo and brass steering links completely change the turning
I just 'subbed'. I also purchased the 1/24 Deadbolt a few days ago, my fav truck. I also purchased a 1/10 NOS Vaterra 1972 Bronco, love that rig, performs VERY well. I will be following your vids for the Deadbolt...thanx.
Thanks for the sub!
Love this series! I have a Red-Bolt too. I have started fitting the 1/20 '92 Hilux static model to it. I also have a new servo in the wings, waiting for the stock one to die. I look forward to seeing where you take this series. I learnt a lot from the Honcho one.
I have 2 SCX24 and one Element24. Great little guys to upgrade can't wait to see what you do with yours.
Have 1 deadbolt with just a couple mods for now. Excited to see what you come up with!
I've got 4 SCX24 for me/ kids and I've gifted 2 additional ones to get others in the hobby.
Can't wait to see how it all goes. Have 2 scx24s. Before deadbolts one hard bodies and other stock.
I love these videos. I personally would go for performance, but your builds look awesome.
I don't have an SCX24. I would love to have one, BUT all my money goes into my massive, and continually growing, collection of 1/10 scale cars and trucks. My first experiance with a mini RC car was the orgional MiniT and Mini LST trucks. I had to spend an inordinate amount of money getting them to where I was happy with them. On the on road side of thing's I had a really tiny stock car, i think that it must have been 1/24 scale by BSR. I also have a Duratrax 1/18 scale Vendetta touring car. The most rare car of all my mini's is a Splashett edition professional kit version of the SPORTWERKS Recoil 1/14th scale Recoil touring car.It was the equivalent to say an Team Associated TC Team series 1/10th scale touring car. All carbon fiber and aluminum. I guess that I have had a few mini class RC cars. You asked!
I've just started watching both builds to see which direction you both go. I've got a c10, stock at the moment, got some parts on order.
Love the look of that yellow buggy, I'll be checking out that link for sure 👍
I have 2 my son has one and I have one of course I went completely crazy brass and furitek with mine . My son one it pretty well stock for now. This was a good choice for you guys budget build
I'd buy 3 more, plenty of spare parts when my son starts driving it and breaks it. I can drive with him until he breaks the same par 3 times(or 6 for parts that can switch left to right).
They don’t break
I have 3 at home lol love them
$50 a week budget build with Injora is what I'm gonna do. First week with $50 you can get upgraded servo, and front and rear aluminum axle housing
20 bucks vs. 200-300 $ upgraded SCX24, put a video up last weekend. You won't believe which one is more capable. Best 20 bucks upgrade is AS12/6 ESC, better than 100 $ Furitek Komodo/Lizard brushless combo.
One upgrade I’d recommend is aluminum steering/drag links.
Great starter the SCX24
- good job ...
budget - A systematic plan for the expenditure of a usually fixed resource, such as money or time, during a given period.
Love the video and this build off!! It’s a great rig todo a build off with. I have 4 of them and a bunch of custom hardbodies I have made for them. A $400 budget sounds like a crazy number for that little truck but I know I have more then that in one or two 😂. Good Luck to you guys! Looking forward to watching as it goes along 🤙🏼
1:20 a little gold leaf will round out the bill.
I've been looking for a video series like since I picked up my first SCX24. I know I'm a year behind but it's ok. I really like this car (I picked up the JUL) Thanks for the information!!!
Thanks for watching and better later than never!
@@scalebuildersguild I'm looking to get the 1/10 scale version soon as well 👍
Working on building my scx24 now
I love the small scx24s. I got the C10 because i think it looks best. i added allmost 50 grams without spending any Money but the performance is much better. Yours will be awesome with all that brass. I also changed the shockposition to increase the flex.
Nice to see the little rigs on your channel and im interessted how you change the look to get it more scale.
First ever hobby grade rc & I'm addicted! It's literally all I do all day, & I've spend roughly about $
This is going to be RADTASTIC haha. New budget build off starts on my birthday yay.
I have the Betty.
I dont want to mess that one up, so I am buying 2 more, 1 for me,1 for my step son for his first.
Happy Birthday!
@@scalebuildersguild Thanks man.
I have two that are heavily modded. My advice is lower the weight by reducing top weight and moving as much weight forward and downward as you can. With some creative solutions this can be done for free. Shick postion body lowering moving the battery etc.Once you have maxed out your free mods then add brass weights. Adding weight helps but you can waste a lot of money on brass parts that add too much weight and do you not favors. Such as brass axle widener weights.
Kinda Bonkers, I grabbed up a lightly modified scx24 a couple days before I saw yall announce this! For me Its gotta be best of both worlds. Hard body something (liking the looks of the Pajero models at the moment) and a furitek tegu/komodo motor esc setup with an nsdrc servo upgrade! nice lil sanwa micro rx to wrap things up then I might be happy.
Going to be a fun series, I think oil filled shocks will be a good upgrade
there are none for these yet
Hot Racing has some out. Treal do too supposedly. Seen them reviewed but not in stock anywhere
Another budget build off!!! The anticipatuon is going to kill me 😉
