Excellent video! The scx24 bronco is my first RC crawler. Had it for 3 days and I've ordered a heap of parts online but so far I've done injura wheels, removed the spare tyre carrier to improve centre of gravity, taken the springs out of the shocks to lower centre of gravity, unscrewed the shock shafts untill the screwhead was flush with the top of the cap at full compression which gave me about 2mm more extension in the shocks, and mounted all the shocks into the chassis towards the middle of the chassis and it's a completely different vehicle now. It has about 50mm of flex compared to about 30mm at stock and tyres don't rub. I need to do the bar mount swap next.
Sounds like you’re having a good time with it for sure! Remember too much flex can make a for a sloppy vehicle.
Keep up the awesome work!!!
SCX24 Bronco is my first RC, I've only had it for a few weeks. Took it out today for the first time since putting new slightly bigger tires on and they kept getting caught on the front bumper. Flipping the bumper mounts and relocating the shocks (and also flipping the shocks so the reservoirs cleared the ESC) seems to have solved this issue! Thank you for the detailed video!
Awesome! You are gonna love the hobby! Be sure to ask questions!
thanks for the vid! i moved the lights around and could not figure out why the light switch was not working. now my lights work properly, thanks!
Glad I could help!
Bought my first rc crawler today and i went from liking the way it looked to loving the way it looks after doing these simple mods! As a beginner to rc crawling thank you for making this video 🙏
Thanks for watching!!! Be sure to subscribe and share the video to anyone who might learn from it!
Looking to get my first Deadbolt, so really, really appreciate the videos you do for us new guys! I'm an info hog so I like to look into things thoroughly before pulling the trigger and jumping in. Thanks!
Our pleasure!
really good video, looking forward for the next upgrades! the bronco is my first scx24 so im def. going to follow your guides :)
Awesome! Let us know if there is something specific you are curious about or want to see done!
Nice free upgrade 👍😉
Thanks. We’ve got more comin!
@@TheShopMiniRC
I hope so, make us dream because in Europe still no news of the release date 😔😁
@@orrc16 well, I should have a few out for yeah so you have a good amount when you do get yours!
Great info for beginners. Love your content! Keep it up. Nice work!
Thanks a ton! The next video should be fun!
@@TheShopMiniRC I will be watching for it. I am hoping to get my Bronco tomorrow. Take care!
Very helpful video! Just bought mine yesterday. The grey bronco. So I’m a noob. Thanks for the video!
Awesome. Let us know what you think about the other videos in this series as well!
Great Video! i just gave my bronco some sweet tweaks 🙂 Thank you
Awesome! Glad it helped. I hope you found it helpful enough to subscribe!!!
One of the best free mods for me is using the rear shock mount as flex blades flip it an cut one of the ears off works perfect when u get it set up
Great idea.
I bought a blue Bronco, and a blue Gladiator for my 2 teen boys for Christmas. Then, a day later, their older brother couldn't stand not having one and bought his own white Jeep JLU. Then, needless to say, I also had to get in on the trail runs so I bought the gray Bronco. I've been in the hobby on and off for years, and instantly went to work with the Dremel and Xacto knife making mine a one of a kind. Two minutes out of the box and the body was off and the whirring of tools going at it. Mine definitely stands out from the rest, I've not seen anyone mod the body like this, and I claim the first to have the vision... even Ford would probably say they should've done this.
Hahaha nice! I would love to see it. Awesome that the entire fam is in on the RCing!
@@TheShopMiniRC Sent you an Instagram message with pics.
Great info 😎👍
Hope it helps some people!
I like the head light idea.
It just makes sense to us!!
Use the bumper off the Jeep Gladiator works perfect
Great idea!
Very cool, thanks for sharing! You just got a new sub.
Thanks a ton. I hope it helped you!!
I’m thinking about the bumper, but doing the lights now! Thank you
nice!!!!!!!!
great tips dude,wish my bronco would arrive, been waiting ages😦😦
You’re gonna love it!
Lookin good, bro! I like what you got goin on over here. Liked, subbed and look forward to more. Keep it up, man. Hope you have a great day!
Thanks a ton! We are just trying to grow the hobby!
@@TheShopMiniRC
Me too! Let’s gooooo!!! It’s too fun, man.
If you use JLU front bumper mounts you can lower the front body mount .
Great tip!
I followed your guide on flipping the front bumper and really happy with the results. One thing i noticed is the mock right front shock reservoir hits the esc. I had to cut them off to make it work.
Awesome that our video helped.
We actually did a video where we cut the reservoirs too. You can also just flip the shocks.
@@TheShopMiniRC I ended up cutting them off! I appreciate your help!
You can always relocate the esc a little bit to the left
wow i feel like a real mechanic now hahaha im going to be showing this to everyone i know haha foreal though
Hehe, a tiny mechanic.. or.. really.. a HUGE mechanic working on tiny trucks! lmao. I hope we earned your sub!
🇩🇰🇩🇰thanks for info🙏🤩🇩🇰🇩🇰
Always welcome
Maybe cut the windows out of the four doors to lighten it up, and you can see inside better too
Yep, we are thinking we should do this.
I pulled the interior out of my gladiator entirely. I'll probably cut the windows out too, but I think the interior made a bigger difference. I'm planning on swapping the body out entirely once I finish with the chassis and suspension (I hate Jeeps, every one I've owned has crapped out quick) to something more buggy-like. The jury is still out on exactly what style I'll pursue
Are your headlights brighter and fog lights dimmer now? I swapped mine around and noticed the headlights were much brighter when plugged into the fog light position.
And what can you do with the channel 4 button? I thought I'd be able to move my fogs there and turn them on/off with the switch but that didn't seem to work.
Thank you.
I didn’t notice them being different brightnesses. But I guess it’s possible. As for Channel 4, it’s just another power spot for lights. But always on. For a servo it works.
Did you ever figure it out? It worked for me removing both wires then putting the fog lights one first then the headlights
@@walmart_cereal thanks! I haven't messed with it much anymore but I'll try it again.
What kind of run time do you get stock as is?
About 20-30 min
@@TheShopMiniRC And is it ok for the motor/electronics to swap out the batt's for charged ones to have longer play time? Or do those parts of the truck need a rest?
That bumper flip is only manageable if you have weights in the wheels. Just raising the cg with that.
We think the the benefits outweigh the cost of 3-4 grams of 2-3cm higher weight. Better approach angle and no more tire rub, plus it just looks better. ;)
@@TheShopMiniRC I'm going to give it a shot after my upgrades get here for sure.
@@abundantharmony lemme know how it goes!!!
Saw off the spare tire and pry off the roof rack and junk on it. Then add 300 grams of non rotational (mostly) weight as low as possible and get wheels you can put functional tires on. Or redesign your course till your other rigs thinks it's level.
Keep watching out playlist.
@@TheShopMiniRC I did. It was one of the coolest builds I ever watched. The reusable chop was my favorite part. I'll pay more attention to post dates. The point I might have failed to make is it needs the same mods any other crawler needs, it just needs them more. Mine is 405 grams from 303 with battery and i'm happy with it. I did saw off the spare tire and pry off the accessories and added only 102 grams and Patagonia tires.
@@shockman8014 fair enough! The hard body definitely needs the extra help.
Hello from southeast alaska do you have any stickers for my rock crawlers remote control
Sorry, we don't have any stickers yet.... but awesome to have you here and I hope you subbed so that when we do have stickers, you will know!
this guy is a joke clowns been into this hobby maybe 6 months now he's a expert right!!!
Are you just mad because you got banned from a bunch of Facebook groups?
@@TheShopMiniRC one group mods and fun that's it hates that grand the people in it are you mad cause your a fake wanna be hobbyist
He banned me from a group he's admin of cause nobody was responding to his post about a crap fcx24 he was posting,he couldn't handle the truth like a little baby he banned me,oh guys I told him to please ban me as I didn't want to be in the joke group anyway got tired of him posting that fcx24 piece of plastic junk.
@@roderickgreen2762 you’re funny… and a good joke. You clearly are a bitter man with too much time on your hands. Go do something constructive with your time instead of constantly trying to criticize and break down someone else. Go build your own group or your own UA-cam channel and then you can run things however you want. But to constantly berate and attack someone else is just sad. You have better things to do with your time.
No what's sad is you and your post and you not being able to handle the truth your just a sad person
