Great video, I appreciate how you demonstrated why each thing is an upgrade.
First thing I did to mine was wheel weights, beadlocks wheels and Rock Creepers... completely transformed it (even though now a more powerful servo would definitely help)!
i think the stock servo is to weak even for the stock parts....
will definitely be my first upgrade...
Love my mini deadbolt. I wrapped solder in the wheels for weight. Made a huge difference. Also added grease to shocks. Works for a while. That motor upgrade looks sick! Like a mini ezrun system!!
Great video, super helpful. I've just bought my first scx24 Bronco and can't wait to have some fun with it and add some upgrades. My first non 1/10 scale crawler, but they look really capable and fun. 👍
Great video as always Francis! I appreciate this video because it shows what these trucks are capable of. The one thing that bothers me about the small scale trucks is lack of dampening, making them bounce around too much. Looks like I’ll be adding an Axial to my fleet soon!
Thanks for everything you do all the reviews that you've done. I've purchased the Redcat gen8 axe,trx6,axial wrangler 3,and 2 mini axial jeeps.love them all thanks again for your great honest reviews......😃
Music to my ears. I like to help people not just spend money but the right money.
great video and advise as alway's . Thank you for what you continue to do for the hobby !
That out runner motor looks so badass spinning around on a crawler like that 🤘 truly an epic upgrade. I love my scx 24 deadbolt. My favorite additions so far: the remote 3rd channel module to control my light bar on top. I have it set up so I can run it at night with a 5.8g fpv camera sitting in the roll cage area all protected and whatnot. Then I noticed putting brass weights inside the tires and doing the wide axel upgrade took its handling characteristics to a whole new level. At that point I absolutely needed to upgrade the steering servo since I kept stripping em out, so I highly recomend the ALL METAL version of the emax servo specifically. The things that can be done with screw type differentials are amazing.
Thank you for this video! I haven't got an SCX 24 yet. It's on my list. I have been into RCs for 30 yrs. I wanted to get right into a good crawling 24 without waiting so I will probably buy the crawler and all the parts on the same order. I have watched 25 videos about these crawlers and your video was quick and to the point. I will be watching more of your channel.
If you get one you won’t regret it, they’re money pits tho...
I just fitted new tires, brass wheel weights and diff covers on my Deadbolt, huge difference already. Got my eyes on a better servo now and it's only a matter of time before I get a furitek for it. Great little crawlers
Nice Video, i ordered an FMS Land Cruiser LC80 and i cant wait to crawl .
I was hoping for this video! Thanks
Christmas hopes come true! :)
Man I can't wait to get my scx24 bronco in so I can install some upgrades and brass. Great videos 🤙
awesome tips,love how slow that one can go,amazing 😀👍👍
as always very nice and well described video, merry christmas from italy👋🏻
Happy holidays!
Super siiick bro!! Always a good show!!
Soooo sick!!
Another good movie. We have not got the SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator 1/24 for Danmakr yet. But I have ordered one.
Regards Henrik.
Appreciate the information as always! Purple Lego RC….
Very nice recommendations amigo.
Cool video, thanks my friend!)🥰🤩💥💯👍👏
you are most welcome
I put weight on the frame not the wheels, so that it behaves like a real truck. But I’m going for mud trail blazing not a Moab crawler.
Love your channel I’ve been binge watching👍
Haha once again not mentioning rc4wd tires. I love it. Heck rc4wd
Great info! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Just got one a couple days ago. My first crawler thank you for the info
Enjoy it
I just realized you do MTB reviews also which is my other main hobby.
Boom. I do mtbr.com
The issue with the stock servo is actually the servo saver that the SCX24 comes with - its quite loose and when you apply weight on the car then the servo saver eliminates most of the steering "travel". Glue it together or use a fixed servo horn instead of the saver its coming with. I run the EMAX in one of my C10 and in the other I have the stock one and its actually quite ok.
Can't agree more. Huge difference
I don't know how the design of the servo saver in the SCX24 is, but the Losi Mini community tells everyone to zip-tie their servo savers to clean up the slop inherent in that car's servo saver. Obviously not too tight in their case, but for a crawler I'd imagine you could get away with a tighter binding
@@MicrowaveJak the losi mini t 2.0 servo saver is one of the worst in existence
Do you happen to have a video/review of the scale you’re using here? If not could you share model? Thanks!
Hi Francis greetings from Germany...to upgrade servo... Emax could be an option but the Savöx are much even better.
Merry Christmas
So with a brushless motor do you have to replace the esc/receiver? A lot has changed since I was into r/c vehicles as a teen in the mid 80’s.
@rcreview, does the blue truck have more than the 5 mods covered in this video? Thanks
How big of a deal are the 2 different stock and radio/esc combinations? I am considering the deadbolt for $99 with the the more basic radio (and more basic esc?) vs the Jeep Rubicon (about $124) which has the carbon fiber looking Horizon radio (and possibly a better esc?) I saw a video comparison that showed that the more basic radio and esc had more lag before moving and more esc whine. But I thought I might upgrade these parts anyway. I like the look of the deadbolt a bit better, and it might be a slightly better body for weight,.
I own a Losi micro trekker the nimh went flat and I’m slowly reviving it just wondering if I can use 2 to 4 rechargeable aaa or aa instead of the stock battery?
If you really want the performance ditch that revolver and put a barrage or other larger brushed motor in the stock location. Or a mofo RC mini brushless. The furitec esc works great with brushed motors as well. Makes massive difference over that “giant” revolver.
@@themountain59 when I search that it has a bunch of results. More specific which you mean?
@@themountain59 Please tell us more about this combo! I couldnt find anything on the esc (only some software) and a bunch of different motors for FPV drones. Is there a compatible mount as well?
I'm not a fan of that gigantic Komodo motor either. I was ready to get the last MofoRC Nano Beast in stock, and when I came back to the website the next day, it was sold out.
Hopefully, they'll be back in stock soon.
@@dinh71 I may pick one up once they come in stock. I honestly really like the furitec lizard and barrage or 050 can brushed motor they work really well.
@@Memeteam903
I'm building my Deadbolt into a comp crawler and really working to keep the lcg to a maximum. So, that is why I want the much smaller motor.
For you, where does suspension fall on your upgrade order of install? I'll be honest, I've spent way too much time and money on suspension upgrades for these little guys, and I don't really feel like I'm in a better place with any of them over stock suspension. Servo and tires made the biggest improvements for me.
Hi, I have a question abt the servo? Is it easy to install and will it fit perfect to the scx24’s chassis? Thanks!
Second ! Sweet Vid as always
I bought the SKP Engineering Warthog chassis and it's EXTREMELY low CG. I put the EMax ES08MDii servo in, brass wheel spacers, brass diff covers, RC4WD 2.4" Mud Slingers, and melted the links for clearance. I still have the original motor, receiver and axles. It's great for being a budget build. I purchased from AMain, Amazon and eBay. Lots of work, but it does great. I have video of it on my page, as well as an upgrades video for both of my SCX24s. I bought the FMS Atlas 6x6 and upgraded the servo and wheel weights. Now it's actually decent! The wheel weights work across several different cars, even the FMS Toyota our buddy bought.
What type of receiver are you running with the furitek system?
Have you had coging issues with your lizard pro? I have really badly
What's up with that weight/scale set up with an app? I need one!
Where did you get the scale? Link?
Hello please help i have a flysky transmitter and got this motor esc combo in the link but idk what flysky reciever option i should choose for this setup. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
Something very small extra channels would be a plus. If you have multiple recommendations let me know i have the fs-gt5 i think its called
@@heiselblock if you have the FS-GT5 on page 7 of the manual, it lists all the compatible receivers for you. ie anything that has the AFHDS 2a
protocol
@@trevorc6793 ok thanks man. Ya it didnt come with the full manual for some odd reason so thanks. Im assuming they will also all work with this motor esc combo
Redcat racing has the full manual for free pdf download.
FIRST!!!!!!!
i want cookies...
New moa fcx24 video up. Please let me know what you think! First decent comparison to the scx24
Scrap that furitek!! PN90T with a BRMini. No comparison.
I have a bunch of questions that the hobby shops can't help me with.
Just spent two hours on the Injora site and ended with a 300 € shopping cart. Did not order.
Sorry but I disagree with the comment about the brass or parts being cheaper because it's smaller. 1/24th scale seems to be way over priced in terms of brass vs 1/10th scale or in terms of price per quantity of material. The hot racing front knuckles are $25.99+ and look at what you get versus say parts for a 1/10th scale. You seem to get a screwed on value for 1/24th scale stuff. Some brass knuckles are the same price for the SCX10 and the part probably has 200% more material than what was used for the 1/24th scale.
That being said my 1/24th deadbolt is my first crawler but I wish I went 1/10th scale instead.
Buy your brass parts for SCX24 at Amazon. Very cheap!
@@adammtber5199 my thoughts exactly. I'm a big fan of Injora. BTW...do you know of any RC/ MTB social media sites or pages?
I would guess that the majority of the cost would be machine time, not materials.
Cheers 👍
@@scottbraithwaite3143 there is rccrawler forum and there are a few discords good luck finding them tho
@@mickd8188 I do all the quoting for a CNC manufacturing facility, from Swiss machines to 40” chuck 5 axis VTL’s. Machine time is 100% the driving factor. I actually built up a quote just for fun to see what it would cost, of course there’s no way I can touch Chinese manufacturing prices. These would cost double if made in the USA, and that was with me being very optimistic on machining time. Material cost had also gone through the roof in the last two years with no end in sight.
