  • In this video I go over my first five mods for the Axial AX24 XC-1! The primary goal of these initial upgrades is to lower the center of gravity, improve stability and climbing, and improve steering strength and precision. I also throw in a couple of bonus mods to further boost performance. The full parts list with links to the products is in the description below!

    The mods made a big difference. I picked one up yesterday from my local. I haven't driven it yet, this will be my first 4ws rig. I did pull a few parts out of my bin to put on after the first run. I think the brass skid plate really help eliminate the bounce from the shocks, nice!!!🤘🤘🤘 For myself, the servos are the last thing I swap out. I run them till they break. On 7 of my 12 24's they still have the stockers. Yea there are stronger ones but the stock one work.

    Just ordered the carbon side plates too. 😊

    @shawnfunk2895 Рік тому

    thanks for breaking ground with some of these mods on this new platform. Your video alleviated my concerns about installing a bigger motor. I am just starting the mod journey for the AX myself, but am having trouble finding servo mounts. It looks like the AX servo mount spreads the upper links a little further apart than that on the SCX. Using an older SCX mount seems like it would mount the links a little closer together, effectively shortening the distance from chassis to axle for the upper links and adding a slight amount of caster. It doubt it would cause any driveshaft binding, but you might want to look at that if you think binding might be reducing the throttle "smoothness"

    • @CapeCrawlers
      @CapeCrawlers  Рік тому

      Omg you’re a genius. I’ve still been chasing that binding issue and I wonder if that’s exactly what the root cause is. The aftermarket servo tray does pinch the links closer together by ~2mm I bet. The binding only happens when I turn the wheel, and to one side primarily. But perhaps that could still be the issue?

    • @CapeCrawlers
      @CapeCrawlers  Рік тому +2

      It was kinda like the UTB18. Everyone was confused and put off by the initial thought of it. But as soon as you get some time with one, the opinion changes pretty quick.

    • @exlewisrc3674
      @exlewisrc3674 Рік тому +2

      The main reason I saw was bc of the lack of upgraded parts it’s the same “stock” parts that crap out under very limited stress quickly(ie same servo, transmission, etc). Also the lack of mobility with the electronic layout and the lack of LCG. I don’t personally have one and I personally wouldn’t mind owning one the way it sits But allot of the Axial followers I think were expecting a bit more and they were let down. Im currently building a spare parts 4ws truck right now and I’m only in it $24. IMO I would love to try one before I say anything but everyone’s opinion will be different upon preference

    Awesome video man, it is now behaving exactly like I expected it would. I think as you stated there are much more budget friendly options to achieve the same end result. I question the need for that carbon fiber chassis but it sure does look cool =). I also wonder if the 66t Injora would have smoothed the throttle response out a bit, seems a little jumpy. It might just be the limitation of that ESC because it feels jumpy out of the box as well. The 66t while not quite as torquey, is smoother. Great build I am waiting on my parts to come in to start my build as well. Did you use the standard servo trays that come with the Injora kit, even thought they do not have the slots for the links? great content bud!

    • @CapeCrawlers
      @CapeCrawlers  Рік тому

      Thanks! I did use the standard servo tray and the links threaded in perfectly on the outside of the tray, just like the four link conversion on the SCX24. I think you're right about the 66t. I may swap this out for my LGRP Reaper motor as that is super smooth. I also feel like something is binding and contributing to the jumpiness, but I can't pinpoint it. Let the tinkering begin!

      Thank you! I ended up removing the servo trays and going back to stock. But the aluminum four link tray worked well. I was chasing a binding issue which turned out to be the ESC and that's why I swapped the trays. Anyway, you thread a screw through the linkage into the outside of the servo tray, so one link on each outer part of the traditional linkage mount if that makes sense. I don't have a video specifically on it but I can make a short if the above isnt clear.

When steering hard right, the right rear tire rubs and catches on the body badly. Same for the left front when I steer hard left.

      Thanks for watching! The torque twist is a tough nut to crack in this chassis. Generally stiffer springs in the shocks will mitigate twist, but on this rig it will also raise your chassis, which we don't want. You almost have to pick the lesser of two evils.

I installed a set on my Axial SCX24 Bronco and set them loose as you suggested (I think in another video), but I get a lot of slop in the steering. Are they actually supposed to be tightened and then there is just friction between the screw sleeve and steering knuckle? I hope that makes sense...

So I have an upgraded servo, with an aluminum horn, brass steering linkage and then the brass knuckles. When I back up the screws a little bit on the knuckles, it also gives them an up/down and side/side wiggle off of the axel housing. I believe that's the source of the slop as everything else feels tight.

    Out of the box the ax is so much more capable than an scx or fcx but when you fully upgrade an scx or fcx or ax they end up the same. Tiny comp chassis' already exist. We been running independent 4ws forever. Long travel shocks have been out for ages. Also remember the "new" ax stills runs a complete scx drive train. Unfortunately it also still runs those horrible electronics. If your new to the 24 game go for it grab an ax. But for me and many others its nothing new and current comp rigs will destroy it. This is why many say "we wanted more" and if not more give us something different. 7.5/10👍🤠👍

      I feel like you can use a tall tire with no insert so long as the tire/wheel is not vented. The air pressure inside the tire gives it some strength. But I am not a fan of running big tires with no inserts on a vented set up because that's when you get the super wobbly sidewalls.
