Heck yeah I’m waiting on my 55 pin tires, That just looks sweet the way it is I would drive it with those then the bigger ones they’re exactly the same tire just taller than the other that will give you your answer. My vote is on the 55s for the win yeah well sounds good to me 😁👍👍😎
Yeah I love mofo RC he has awesome products for sure. I have a few things from him, but this frame I ain’t got. This is going to be a awesome build appreciate you sharing, Yep we’re watching
Adam!!! Those LGRP axles look like Jewelry! I like how they built that rear axle with the brass cover in front like a removable chunk. Love it. Again, beautiful build. I'm building an Ugly Chassis build as well. Now I'm thinking I should've looked into Little Guy axles.. Meh, it's never too late....😁
Always a really good watch man. Good looking rig! I run that same chassis. I had to take the battery mount off when I went brushless. Curious to see what you run.
Yeah love my four corner scale, they are great to have my friend Jim Wolf has the Bluetooth one they came out with that one two weeks after I already brought the wired up one but hey it works great I love it
@@CapeCrawlers Not sure what you mean when you say couldn’t get the drive right. Is the motor hitting the driveshaft ? I have the skid plate turned in mine it doesn’t rub The ogrc drive shafts are long enough for the distance they won’t pop out. Put the new mini Komodo from furitek so it’s not so long and that with the ultimate bro 🔥
@@Wicked_crawlerz_rc I got the motor situated nicely but my driveshaft’s were either too long or too short. I couldn’t find a middle ground with my link set up (c10 front, deadbolt rear)
Awesome build brother 👍, do it right the first time. Love those rears. Mofo parts are great, I'm also about ready for a ground up build, researching all the parts as we speak. Another great video Adam. Peace ✌️ bro
Heck yeah There’s nothing wrong with brush motors specially some of the mofo RC motors gosh it looks beautiful dude outstanding job on this build, appreciate sharing with us love it
I can tell you what I did and what I’m planning to do. I did the stock hinge in the back from a deadbolt. Then I used hood pins up front. I am not happy at all with the front mounting system and I’m going to try to get a magnetic mount for it. So, the plan is hinge in the back and magnetic mount up front.
I think the c10 front deadbolt rear is the best combo. For me personally, I like the 48mm shocks. Most people will say that’s too long for optimal performance and they’re probably right, but I like it for the fun factor. A stock length or slightly longer is probably ideal for best performance
It looks really good, i am new to the scx24 and i am getting a lot of great info from you. I enjoy looking at all the parts from the different companies you use. I have 3 orders in at injora currently. lol
@@alexbobincheck1130 check out the LGRP motor comparison I did. That’s a good one, and budget friendly. I’ll be posting a Mofo RC motor video in the next day or so too!
I am working on pretty much the same build. I was wondering was rear bumper hinged body mount you are using? Cheers! Love your build videos, keep up the great work!
How did front body posts mount before you swapped to magnets? I'd rather run body posts for mine but none of these aftermarket frames showcase the body mounting process.
I had to screw the posts to the sides of the chassis up front then drill holes into the hood of the body. It worked but I couldnt keep the posts from rotating on the screws. It was a minor irritation, but enough for me to want to switch.
I'm waiting on a few final parts and have a similar build planned but with the mazz cheat code chassis, LGRP S8 billets, LGRP billet trans, power hobby 58mm with the top from the 54mm (no fake reservoir), LGRP trail kings, Tegu24 Pro and Mofo SMP and a proline cliffhanger
I have built this exactly as you did with the chassis and axles. The front binds really bad because the axle is so wide compared to the frame. Any ideas as to why please.
I'd be interested in some build comparisons of your fleet. Not sure if you watch exocaged but he did that recently and it was fun to watch. Would be cool with smaller stuff.
I heard the super 8 axles have wider link and shock mounts, does it require custom links? Are your treal links in an extreme angle or would they work? Your shocks look like they are in a bind, Hardparkrc has shock spacers.
The axles do push the mounts out towards the wheel but I am still running normal links with no issue. On my bronco I did spacers for the upper shock mounts but I didnt do that with the comp build. I may try it though, and see how the shocks behave. I have found that the Mofo chassis is tight up front regardless and it's a challenge to get it setup properly.
Fcx24 axles or the super 8 for an axle swap on scx24... Looking to get away from the stockers and gain significant turning radius.... Any suggestions cape? Thanks in advance...
I love the super 8’s but the fcx24 portals will give you huge clearance. Combine them with the metal gears and it’s quite a combo! Portals will raise the chassis though, so it depends what matters most to you: clearance or low cog.
I hope wherever see this that they read it because so far shift RC servo mofo Servo beasts are the two best that I have tried and they are amazing super fast super strong even on 6.5
Hey Adam, I love this build so much I decided to do my own! Do you have any issues with the lower links binding on the skid plate with the wider link mounts of the super 8’s?
I do but always attributed it to the chassis because I get the same thing on my deadbolt with the stock axle housings. I have the super 8's on a couple other builds and I don't experience binding.
Awesome build! Running the links with only one O ring is great for flex, but on my rig, it gives the axle tons of side to side movement. Does that happen on your rig? And for the tires, you should definitely go taller! And finally, with the wheels, I think some Injora Negative Offset Stamped Steel 1.0s would be perfect. The width is between deep dished and normal with the regular SS1.0s. I think it would be perfect on this rig.
Thanks! I like your thinking. I’ve got gunmetal deep dish Injora wheels on their way as we speak. Thinking of trying scrambler tires or LGRP grippers. As for axle movement, I don’t notice it too bad on my other rigs. But I will be more sensitive to it on this one. I’ll let you know after I get some more run time on it 👍🏻
Appears to be the save servo as a Reef’s 99 same specs the only visible difference is the labeling. They are a little bigger & I would recommend getting their adjustable mount too.
Another great vid , awesome build Adam, don't know if you know,treal has extended links in various colors for the fcx24. Just got a set in blue, very nice, comes with driveshaft also.
I’m digging it! Do you feel the weight would be more of an advantage in competition than adding rear steer and dig features that would add a significant amount of weight ?
Dig function would be epic. My local comp has already banned 4WS after I won the last comp with Snaggletooth. So, I think proper weight distribution with a dig function would be a track killer!
Does the super 8 axles use their own axles shafts or can stock axle shafts work? I was interested in their products but it seems like they are all specific and proprietary parts. I bought their "4 link emax" servo tray and turns out it doesn't work with stock axle and links, only works with their chassis kits, and links. They are not clear about what part works with what. Their billet axles doesn't come with diff cover but the brass diff covers are sold out. Ripper chassis kits have specific links, but the links are sold out. There is super 8 steering links, i assume you can only use those steering links with their axles and not other aftermarket. You cant get one thing without the other. Their website is a mess.
Awesome lookin rig man 🤙 I think the only thing that keeps me from building one of these is the loss of “scale” appearance. Personally I prefer the cage style (Capra-ish lol) body. Does anyone make that style of body for the 1/24’s? That is why I’m leaning toward the UTB.
Thanks! I totally understand where you are coming from. Have you looked at the Injora buggy kit? I am building one of those next. It looks just like a 1/24 capra!
I lined them up for the heck of it and the Proline body is much bigger than the AX body. I think it could fit, but it would look very large and I'm not sure what clearance you would have with the big shocks and articulation on the AX.
Man your videos are so high Def and bright it's awesome. And I love builds so this is great. And you have Inspired me to try and work out so I'm not the beer gut dude with an rc out in a field lol. You just set the bar for all us rc guys hahahaha make us all look like dorito munching mt dew drinking KFC eating tubbies hahahaha. All joking aside sick channel man.
Thank you! It was really important for me when I started this channel to be in front of the camera.

@@CapeCrawlers heck yeah man well your video quality is stellar and you are pretty dang confident. Can't wait to see this beast hit the rocks looks like it's going to perform amazingly. Keep up the videos bud.
So what was the point of stage 1 and 2? 1 part from the deadbolt. From economy to tosing the deadbolt and toss a ton of cash in a compleatly new car. I dont get it. This is the first negitave thing i can say about your chan other than your choice of your 1:1truck.
Your wife must really really love you to let you fully commit your wallet and time to the hobby as well as this channel in order to pump out content like this
Those shocks are shit. And no springs? Really? They do nothing more than hold the axles from falling off the chassis. What's the point? Otherwise it's a very nice build.
Thanks! I've tried that and can't find a driveshaft length to work. I got the motor situated perfectly, but just couldn't get the drive line situated. Any suggestions?

Okay you convinced me. My Gladiator needs Super 8s. :) Thank you!
This is the nicest scx24 build I've seen yet. That's sick. I mite have to do this to one of my 4 deadbolts I have for the family.
Thank you! I’m really happy with how it’s come out this far.
Turn the skid plate around and that will make the motor face the rear. Don’t go brushless and ruin that build 😂 looks great 👍🏼

Great video. Could you please tell me how you are mounting the body? I have the same body and can't decide the best way

@@CapeCrawlers great, thank you. Looking forward to more videos on this thing!
You are spoiling us with all these uploads!
Trying to get caught up on my projects!
When you compare snaggletooth to the comp build, which wheel base do you feel works better? Have yiu found the perfect shock length?
I think the c10 front deadbolt rear is the best combo. For me personally, I like the 48mm shocks. Most people will say that’s too long for optimal performance and they’re probably right, but I like it for the fun factor. A stock length or slightly longer is probably ideal for best performance
i cant wait to see this new build in action look sick so far

love the build, got my parts to start my own , qq , where did you get that back hinge part from so the body can open up like in bronco ......
I robbed it off of my deadbolt
That's the only part I got from MOFORC on my Gladiator, is the steering servo mount. Works pretty well, for me!
That servo mount is brilliant. Love the adjustable functions
@@CapeCrawlers hell yeah!
So rad! Love it man! I think with some bigger tires and a hair shorter front links would make a huge difference in looks and performance! 🤘
Thanks! I’ve got deadbolt front links I could try. It would look mean with that setup!

I have built this exactly as you did with the chassis and axles. The front binds really bad because the axle is so wide compared to the frame. Any ideas as to why please.
I did remove an oring from each link and shock. The front still does not squat all the way down. Would removing all the Orings from front hurt?

Look at the OGRC mini servo, you can find them on Amazon.

Why did you decide not to put rear wheel steering on this one?
My local comp league banned it after I won the last competition with my 4WS deadbolt 😬
In your opinion what model scx24 is the best model for someone new to the crawlers
It depends what you like! I would say the c10, deadbolt, or gladiator
@@CapeCrawlers I will probably only keep it stock for a week or two then begin the modifications. I like your flex crawler builds
Looks great man.
Thanks!
Sorry if I missed it in the videos but which servo are you running on this build?
EcoPower for now. I’ve got the new Mofo RC servo beast coming though
Great video! I'm starting a acx24 class 2 build. Di you still love the mofo ugly af chassis?
Thanks and keep up the great content!
what is your shock setup? just oil no springs?
Powerhobby 54mm double barrels with no springs. I like them but I think the shocks are too long for this build. I’m going to swap for a 43mm or 48mm
You do need a scale for corner balancing. So far our trucks are very similar. 👍
I absolutely do. Great minds think alike! Or build alike rather!
those super 8s are my favorite axle housings i think when my channel gets bigger I'll get some, but there a little too pricy for me right now.
They are gorgeous. Big investment though, you’re right.
Will you show me how you turn your rims around like that please
I’m digging it! Do you feel the weight would be more of an advantage in competition than adding rear steer and dig features that would add a significant amount of weight ?
Dig function would be epic. My local comp has already banned 4WS after I won the last comp with Snaggletooth. So, I think proper weight distribution with a dig function would be a track killer!
I am curious how that could be implemented in a rig like your comp build. Are the diffs open, spooled, or limited?
You Nailed it ! 👏

Where did u get the rear body mount?
The Scx24 of Theseus
i saw the shorts the super 8 axles
Love the axles!!
Looks sweet 👍
Thanks!
What is the hinging body mount that you used for this?
It's from a deadbolt. It works but it sits the body up really high in the back
Love your brain work thanks for your videos
Are those axles wider than standard scx24 axles?
Yes, by 8mm I believe
Sweet my man 😋
Thank you!
Awesome lookin rig man 🤙 I think the only thing that keeps me from building one of these is the loss of “scale” appearance. Personally I prefer the cage style (Capra-ish lol) body. Does anyone make that style of body for the 1/24’s? That is why I’m leaning toward the UTB.
Just saw the Furitek cage similar to the Ryft on MoFo’s site…cool but not as good lookin as a Capra or Bomber imo.

whatd you use to mount the body in the rear?
Stock deadbolt hinges. It’s okay but it lifts the rear end of the body up pretty high.

Is this a class two build?
It would be a class 3 due to the width and lack of bumpers I think.
