if you shave down the little tabs on the back of the wheel weight hex extensions with a dremel you can tighten the wheel nuts down all the way. the tabs hit the wheel bearings i shaved my treal ones flush and now they clear and allow you to tighten the nutts all the way
Glad you made it to the top, not glad you have me wanting all the upgrades 🤣
Awesome video man.
Yeah awesome save
Nice!!
Thanks!
This truck is looking great. Everytime I see it run it makes me want to stop the scale build on mine and just go for all out performance. Lol
It’s come a very long way! I took it out on the rocks today and it did even better in real world conditions. Really impressive what it could do.
Who needs a summertime BLOCKBUSTER movie when there is your SCX24s and “Hell’s Gate” on “Mini Moab” to watch?!?!😝🍿🥤😎
Thanks for some “mod” ideas, I am going to purloin the battery and esc mod!!!💪🏻 And will definitely have to invest in those GWRC mods, too!!! Thanks again for the awesome content as usual!
Rob
The bronco is the ultimate underdog story, taking on mini Moab like a champ! 🎥 🤣Thanks for watching!
*SCX24 Bronco!!!~~~ Awesome video my friend,, and cool rc car 👍👍💯*
Thanks for watching!
I love ur channel man great job may the lord bless and keep u
I appreciate you!
Yeah I like that chassis kit, I’ll have to check into this
It’s a bargain for what you gain. Plus you keep the ability to add bumpers, rock sliders, etc.
Love that you’re keeping the spare tire on throughout this. I’m going to have to order that relocation kit.
You won’t like the next part of the build then 😅 I ditched it in my latest round of upgrades. I miss it already!
@@CapeCrawlers I love the way it looks with it. I’m determined to keep it haha.
I’m sure the lighter body without the spare tire will make all the difference!..
Crazy to hear about your experience with the injora brass inserts. I have the same wheels, and I also have the stamped steel from injora, and I’ve had no issues with multiple tires.
I did have the same experience with the “venting” when I used the injora brass rings in the stamped steel wheels. In the ones on your bronco, it appears to be air tight for me using hyrax tires.
Great video as usual!
Thanks! I’ve heard of quality control issues with the brass rings where some sets just don’t fit properly. I wonder if I just got a bad set? I had zero issues with the set on the gladiator. I’m happy with them either way!
Id really love to see a C10 build!!!
You got it my friend
Nice
Thanks! It has been a fun project!
Man that thing is a beast! Love the build so far! Making small strides with my build, still waiting on parts. And for some reason my Bronco decided it doesn't want to go forward anymore, so I have to figure that out. It's always something with these things. Thanks for another killer video Adam!!
Thank you! It has come a looooong way from where we started. I've solved those throttle issues by changing the batteries in the remote. I've experienced the servo shorting out the esc also causing those issues too. Hopefully its easy fix on yours.
Cool video, definitely looking forward to seeing how the injora motor works out. Have you tried playing with the foam size in the wheels? I'm currently running foams meant for a tire that is 5 millimeters smaller in diameter and it seems to give me a good squish factor while not compromising sidewall stability. Might be a cool experiment for you. Cheers!
Thanks! Yes, that foam setup is one of my favorites. My favorite is the crawler innovation soft foams, but the smaller foams like your describe is a close second.
Loving all the recent uploads man! Highest quality out on UA-cam here by far! Great work as usual.
Just curious if you had any tips for building an indoor course and some of the materials you used to build your terrain. I've built a mini course with foam and boxes but recently built a large 4x8 ft area to build a course on and wanted to get ideas . Real materials like dirt and rocks are an option as it's in my garage and built strong but the low weight and low mess of spray foam is appealing.
Thoughts?
Thank you, I appreciate that! I plan to do an indoor course build video soon. I use a combination of plaster sheets and spray foam insulation. But I'll do a video soon!
That's awesome. Glad to see you stuck to it. I don't think I can use any of the lcg kit with the Furitek components. I made a tray out of a coffee container lid to mount the esc and tx on and flipped my battery to where it mounts sideways and sloping down to the back of the transmission. Going to run it at camp with a few different spring rates and also going to swap the body out for the 1978 chevy step side and see how that light body will perform.
What Furitek motor are you running? I am going to go brushless on the gladiator soon and that has the same LCG kit as the bronco. It will be interesting to see how I can squeeze it all in there...
@@CapeCrawlers I have both of their brushless. I started with the micro and it does a great job. I wanted to go to all metal transmission along with the spur gear. I found that the micro pinion is welded to the shaft on the motor and unable to change the gear. All the spur gears I found were plastic for the micro. So I bought their Kamoto that has the upgrade available. It is a beast and super smooth. The lizard pro esc will support both motors so the cost wasn't to bad the second time around. But either one of their motors are strong and smooth
I have the same wheels and brass rings. Maybe they've changed the design but my instal was very easy.
Oh dude, I dunno if I got a bad set or what, but this was so difficult. I have these rings in other wheels and have no issues but this was rough.
I just purchased this same truck and have been fallowing your build closely. One thing is I have yet to go to bigger tires but I feel like they won’t fit with having my suspension set up the same way your is. I’m not sure what our differences are. Also I got the brass rings prior to seeing this video, sorry to hear you had a tough time, definitely glad it went smoother for me haha.
Thanks for following along! The wrangler tires I have now arent much bigger than stock and I dont think I could fit any bigger either. Not without trimming the body, which I dont want to do. I suppose with more width it could clear the fenders, but that would ruin the scale look I think. I may try throwing some scramblers on just for the heck of it.
@@CapeCrawlers I just installed the injora m/t and they are far too big. I also have rock tilted tyre super swappers but they are the same size as stock. Do you have any suggestions of tires that fit well that are bigger then stock or should I go back to the super swampers
How do you setup your rubber bands for limiting straps? Working on my bronco and would love to see you do an in depth video about it
I loop them around the linkage behind the servo and up around the body mounts. I will explore it further in another video.
I just toasted my stock jlu motor geee 250 build and I didn't buy a motor it was on my mind the whole time lol think maybe I wanted to torture it ..just ordered a holmes hobby 50 66t motor I run his motors in my 1/10 trucks for years great stuff so I'm excited to see how his little guy motor works
I've heard good things about the Holmes motors. Never tried them personally though.
@@CapeCrawlers ya we shall see
Awesome! I have the Bronco too. Have you tried putting the overdrive gears in the front diff? I'm thinking it would pull the front down putting in essence drag brake in the rear which should in theory help keep the front down 🤔 Awesome build!
Thanks! And yes, it has 23% overdrive gears in it currently. I honestly didnt see a huge improvement in the Bronco after install. I did put them in my JLU at the same time and it made a HUGE difference on that rig.
@@CapeCrawlers Was that in both diffs or just the front? Sorry I have only seen a couple of your videos theses lil 24's are new to me but they are so awesome! Crazy it made a big difference in one rig and not the other, but even if you have two built exactly the same they won't act the same! So yeah go figure Lol! Thanks!
@@mikesrcgarage just the front. The JLU is much more balanced weight wise than the bronco. It’s not super surprising to me I didn’t see the same gains in the bronco. Trial and error is part of the fun!
@@CapeCrawlers So true! Have a great night and happy RC'ing!
That’s awesome that you made it hells gate!! I am learning a lot threw your bronco series ! I just bought my SCX24 bronco a view days ago so I am excited to see where I take my build. Do you recommend I get the same upgrades and kinda follow the series like you did , or would you recommend something different for my frost upgrades?
Thanks for watching! I think you can use the series as a guide, but I would explore upgrade options based on what you want to do, and enjoy doing with your build. The best thing about the SCX24 is the option to personalize and customize. Take advantage of that and build your perfect rig. There are some baseline mods that are universal, and I detail them here: ua-cam.com/video/nOOvKnG--JE/v-deo.html
Thank you so much I’ll watch and start doing my own personal build. I just started building my own indoor course on a 6ft x 4ft base that I have in my garage. !!!
@@CapeCrawlers I will most definitely! I love the channel please keep the awesome videos coming as well !
How good does the servo clear on that chassis,,,,?
It took some work to clear and I still have some issues. I had to trim the ears of the servo and the rear of the bumper mounts. It clears 95% now I would say.
I love my limiting strap
What do you use for a limiting strap?
I use the sheeth/housing from lead core fishing line it’s then a hollow tube of braided nylon. I drilled a tiny hole in the center front of my esc tray and use a pivot ball between the two links on the servo tray and viola. It works great. It’s in the center do everything works just the way it should.
@@CapeCrawlers I tie it into a loop. From pivot ball to the hole in the esc tray. I used to just go up to body mounts but not as clean as to the esc tray.
Can you still upgrade the battery with that relocation?
Yes. I use a variety of batteries, from 900mah to 450’s and they all fit.
@@CapeCrawlers perfect thank you.
where did those shock mounts come from?
The multi-holed ones on the chassis? If that's what you mean, they came from Grizzly Works RC. They're part of the LCG kit.
Okay. I haven’t jumped into the chassis market yet
Just built a sick deadbolt. Need to put some hours on it. Shock locations are a pain on the stock chassis
Clean looking chassis,,,as for 2 hr on 2 tire's, I would of probably shot them (or at least @ them),,,great patients,,,,thanks for sharing
Patience or stubbornness, it could go either way. I wasn’t going to let them get the best of me 🤣

How too heavy is the bronco?
It's ~520g right now
@@CapeCrawlers oops sorry I meant how top heavy is it. I know stock they roll over ALOT
@@steveng_rc Oh! LOL it's not that top heavy anymore. In stock form it was extremely top heavy. It's quite planted now.
@@CapeCrawlers nice!
@@nunocarneiro464 that’s what I was thinking to get over hells gate it has to much weight in the rear I think if he took the hex extensions in the rear out and swapped it out for a lighter one I think it would get over no problem
Too bad tbey just dont sell the bronco body because you have replaced everything except that
👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️🤙💯💯
🤙🏻👍🏻
lol.
