  • The Mini Crawler scene is getting insanely popular, and as an early Christmas gift to myself, I decided up upgrade my FMX FCX24.
    In this episode on 10th Scale Garage, I install some aftermarket shocks and some extended links on this epic little RC crawler. The FCX24 responds to upgrades really well and with the addition of some upgraded wheels and tires, this mini crawler is unpoppable. We even compare it to an Axial SCX-24. What upgrades should we add next?

    For better steering angle, there are 2 screws in the front of the axle that hit on the steering link when at full lock. If you just move those 2 screws to the back side of the axle where the 2 empty screw holes are, you get a bit more steering angle.

    On the front axle there's a lil hex bolt that goes in from the front, put it in from behind and you can turn more cause the head doesn't block anymore ✌️💜🖖 my brother taught me that

    Nice upgrade and great 👍 video man.But I think that you have to turn in the opposite side the big links for more ground clearance. Am I wrong?

    I have one. Took it out a couple months ago when I got it. Flat asphalt, no obstacles at all. Within a couple minutes, the front drive shaft broke and fell off. After making me send receipt and photos of the truck and a bunch of other information, the told me that that truck is not covered at all. I will never by anything from horizon or FMS again. For a one or two dollar piece of plastic? Really? They lost me as a customer. Too bad because I really liked the truck.

    Awesome build brother. I imagine based on the video that 4-wheel steering is probably going to be the best bet for turning radius improvements.

    on the Injora mini pin tires. They're tall and grip. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Stock vs stock, fcx24 is better, but you can't beat axial when it comes to parts availability.

I am glad you brought up that there is no instructions for putting different or original parts on the RC cars. i wish all companies would send instructions,or give us a site to go to download.I will at meat i am all Thumbs when putting these parts on.Maybe you could reach out to the companies,and suggest something to help up learn how to put them on.Other wise great video,Stay safe,and Happy Holidays to you and your subscribers.🎄🏎

    I'm lost on the benefits of using those links. They look upside down? Don't we want more clearance.

    • @10thScaleGarage

      Increasing the wheelbase while improving the rigidity of the rear end. Plus, I think it looks cool. The links are installed correctly.

      It's a ladder frame chassis, and I believe it's metal? It's a 24th scale truck, so the chassis is pretty small.
