Like hearing the motor load up over having music. Really give you more of a feel of how its actually doing
I have to agree, Music can be a personal thing, Duty free music is usually bad or annoying, and I totally agree that hearing the Trucks working is just as important as watching them climb.
I love what you did with the body lock. Clever! Good job
This is awesome I got the teal color c10 just went crawling the first time today these are great little trucks thanks for the information you got nice videos
Thanks! Glad you like the C10! It’s a beast!
Nice !! Great compariasion !! I found the tires to be a big upgrade, with the servo change to be the biggest differences. I have a HR / RC4WD modded Jeep ( Yellow ) and a stock C-10 ( Grey). Just putting the finishing touches on the first section of my indoor course. A lot of the upgrades are overpriced , but not many other options out there ( in Canada, anyway ). The difference, though, is noticeable , on my track, just like yours.My Jeep can not only do more, it looks better doing it ! I even cut out the body and added tiny 3D printed light buckets for my rear lights. Keep up the great videos !!
soooo i just found your channel today... and it's probably the best almost dedicated 1/24 scale channel i've found so far.
this was an awesome video!!! you do a really good job at testing, comparing and explaining.
so the only thing I don't like about RC is the squealing these little bastards make, big and small.
so to be honest... when wheeling a lil music in the background might be nice.
but I also hate when ppl blast the music... or the volume cuts in and out when people narrate.
so a really cool way of doing it, that would set you apart is to figure out a volume where it's just enough to drown out the squealing but not enough to drown you out when you talk or have the music haaaaaave to cut in and out.
cuz your narration is good and helpful also!!
Thanks so much for the compliment and Suggestion! I’ll definitely try my best to work on finding that sweet spot lol. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. It’s very helpful in making my channel better and therefore succeed!
I am starting to think I like working on them as much or more than driving them. So that's something. $ for $ it is probably a bad investment unless having fun and spending time doing something you enjoy has actual value. Keep up the good work and keep on, keeping on. Enjoy Life !
the same could be said about watching videos about them
No Music for me. I do like the commentary. Keep em coming. Learning a lot. If you haven't done it already, I would like to see or know how many degrees of incline will the modded C-10 will climb before it flips over backwards?
Nice video... The stock C10 sure performs decent... Better than other 24s IMHO.
Just picked up two yesterday, the C10 and the JLU. Out of the box, I think the JLU is just a bit more capable, mostly due to it's slightly taller tires and better approach angle.
I like without the music, I like hearing the truck, I like the rear hi clearance links that you made , i'll look for that video. Appreciate you sharing, this is the beauty of the hobby. I'll watch for more
Thanks! I enjoy sharing. Even though I’m not the greatest at building or creating things. I enjoy modding them so figured I’d share lol
Definitely is warded invest in those mods especially the links and shocks positions great video
+1 here for preferring motor and commentary over the music.
I’ve definitely eased up on using music. It’s much easier on me anyway. Hard to find any decent music that won’t be hit by copyright claims lol. Thanks for the input!
Love the 24 scale Matt thanks for the great videos. Was just wondering if it's possible to buy the scx24 Betty tires thanks.
hey wassup love the vids im a big fan of small crawlers i have a 1/24 rgt defender v2 and its awesome and the tires are crazy squishy
antsstudio thanks so much! Yeah I think the tires on the RGT are the same as the ones on the enduro 24 I have. They are just a little small
How many degrees is the incline going into the covered bridge? In the video it looks to be almost 90 degrees but I know that isn’t true. You have a really nice course. I’m building one for my C10 & Deadbot but am limited on room so mine is going to be 18”x96”. I liked the raw sound plus the commentary was awesome.
I have the Emax servo in my C10 & can really tell the difference between it & my Deadbolt with the stock servo. The C10 just steers better all around. I’ve got wheel weights on the Deadbolt so I don’t know how long the stock servo is going to last. I put RC4WD steel wheels & Nitto tires on my C10 & just that made it a different truck.
I filed the burs off the hood clips that scratched my new C10, first attempt getting them off.
I realize this is about as subjective a question as can be, but ballpark average, how long a run time do you get with a stock truck and stock battery? Would you recommend getting a couple extra stock batteries to have more play time? Or would it be better to step up and get a better battery and a better charger to go with? Recommendations?
Also, is it bad to just keep swapping batt's in one truck, one after the other? Will that burn up the motor/servo/ESC from working to long?
Thanks very much!
Whats the best tires for loose dirt/dried mud crawling and occasional rocks i need to know please! Thank you
What size emus are you run in’? Nice links!
These trucks are growing on you.lol
How much résistance you getting when the suspension compresses the wheel into the body? Seems to me limiting the travel so that the body doesn’t rub would help your momentum.
Alright what am I doing wrong? I have the same tires on my c10 and moved the shocks to the first hole back from the stock mounts onto the frame but my tires run and won’t turn? Is it just because I don’t have longer shocks?
The magnets wont mess up any of the electronics being that close to them?
trying to locate the old man emu shocks. are they the ones for the 1/18 scale Gleande? Also what kind of glue can I use to attack tire to oem wheels I dropped a rake and snapped a wheel in half and everything aftermarket is on back order so I just ordered a set that came with it and i am new to rc's and have very little knowledge. Thank you for all the videos i share them to my buddy's that have all got an scx24 lots of help.
Yes they are the 1/18 old man emu shock. I use tire glue that’s actually made for rc tires but on this small of an rc you can get away with just regular super glue most of the time. I appreciate you watching and sharing! Let me know if I can help in any way!
Red video dude I love your track
Thanks! It’s provided tons of fun for sure!
What steering servo did you use.
Nice course. What made you decide to go springless on the shocks? Would double barrel shocks work as well?
Really just experimenting back then. Now that there are more options for shocks I no longer even use those shocks. I’m not really a big fan of the double barrels either now that we have so many options. I honestly prefer the treal oil filled shocks but they have been hard to find lately. They are a tad longer than stock and super smooth with a tiny bit of oil!
Why doesn't that channel 3 headlight mod work on my Betty?
can you do a full vid on that badass white "capra" lookin crawler in the back, that body is sick is it plastic?
SquirrelMan_RC absolutely! I actually did a video on it when I first got the body. It came with metal panels on it and was top heavy. I have since lowered it down quite a bit and cut some panels out of plastic for it. It is my brushless 4 wheel steer rig! It’s Unbelievable!
I see a lot of people building these trucks and not using them. Which is fine but you won’t know what mods would be useful unless y’all actually run the trucks. My first mod was wheel spacers which really really helped keep the truck from flipping as much
Just got my first SCX24 (and new to RC). Noticed a couple things and wondering if it’s normal. When parked and turning right, after letting off it centers back perfectly. But when turning left, it does not center back and stays a little biased to the left. Even after setting the trim. Second, after a couple minutes of playing around and crawling around my bed, when sitting it on a flat surface, it’s sagging a bit in the passenger rear wheel. I can lift the body and set it down gently to even it out, but as soon as I start driving, it’ll sag back down that part. Is this normal? If not, do you know a fix? Sorry for the wall of text and thank you for your time!
Awesome! Congrats on the scx24! So as far as the steering goes that’s kinda typical with the stock esc. It’s pretty weak honestly. I have a video on changing it when you feel it’s time (and you will soon) lol. Definitely check that out. As far as the sagging on the rear the stock shocks have zero tuning options so that’s pretty normal as well. One thing you can do is there is a tiny little black ring that the spring rest on. It’s at the top part of the Shock. Pull the spring down and slide that ring down a bit, then use a small zip tie around the shock above that ring to hold it down a bit. That helps stiffen the spring a bit and will sometimes help with the sag. Only other option is to purchase new shocks with some tuning options. You can also add a little bit of grease inside the Shock and it will sometimes help them a bit but gets kinda nasty as it leaks out honestly. Let me know if you need help with anything else and I really hope this helps a bit! Welcome to the addiction lol
I love when people buys two of them they are really fun crawlers but save some for me lol
Haha! Plenty out there! Hey I only have 7 scx24s now 🤷🏻♂️
What size are the shocks?
What did you make your course out of looks awesome
Anthony Chavez I actually have a couple videos on it. Building the 1st section at least. It’s all just blocks of foam,spray foam,quick plug grout,spray paint and clear flex seal over top to help protect it!
Can't find the video where you make the brass links. Im interested in making a set
Seth Thomas try searching this. It won’t let me link it. Thanks for checking it out!
SCX24 Solid Brass High Clearance Links! How To Make Your Own
I have the little element enduro 24 and I was wondering what all rim an tire sizes do i have available to fit along with shock upgrades?
Any of the 1.0 wheels and tires will work with it & most any scx24 upgrade shocks should bolt up.
@@2fmrc okay thank you
What did you plug it into to turn them on and off with the channel switch
You need one of these controllers. Plug the lights into it and then it into the ch3 or aux port and it’ll work as an on/off switch 🤘

What is the part number for the extension cord for the headlights?
tyler memyselfandi should be a link in the description. Sometimes it don’t let me link it here but if so here it is as well!

Im sorry you have probably already answered this a hundred times but can you give me info on those shocks like what brand, price,where'd you get them did they come with springs thank you
KZizFishing don’t mind answering anything! The yellow shocks on my C10 are the RC4WD Old man Emu shocks. They actually come with 2-3 different sets of springs. They are internal. I run mine with no springs and really like how they perform so far!
KZizFishing and I think I got mine off eBay actually
Where you don't use the front bumper on the scx24's would it hurt to cut the front of the frame behind the steering servo so it's not hitting it all the time
Nope it don’t hurt. I’ve cut front on some back on some etc lol
@@2fmrc right on I was wondering that where it don't really do anything
where do you find the round plastic link ends to drill and make your brass links? what link set is it?
I used part #AXI31613 which is a pack of links for the scx24. Looks like they are on back order from amain at the moment but maybe you can find them somewhere else. Hope that helps!
@@2fmrc thanks man, I'm gonna try and make a set before I try the hot racing ones. Thanks alot btw I just spent like 300$ for upgrades, they're on the way and I'm in the rabbit hole.
If I want to switch the lights out of the bumper into the actual headlight housing what exactly needs to be done?
You can move them with the stock wiring but the wire isn’t long enough to allow you to flip the body up anymore so you’ll need a servo extension cord to plug them into or you can get the switch like I use and it acts as an extension but also gives the ability to switch them off and on with the controller. You can get it here

@@2fmrc ok thank you!
DYNAMITE manufacturers aluminum servo arms, but I have no idea what would be compatible w/ this EMAX servo.
Joseph Morelli yeah that’s the prob. I honestly can’t remember how many teeth they are lol. I’m thinking 15?
If it's not a secret, how much are the upgrades worth on the grey one ?
Hmmmm I’d have to add it up. This truck don’t even exist anymore lol. Been pulled apart and used for other builds.
How exactly did you put your lights on your controller? I tried plugging my lights in a different location and now they don't work at all.
You just need this switch. You’ll plug the switch into the aux port and then your lights into the switch. Then the ch3 switch will turn them off and on! Hope this helps! I do have a video somewhere that shows it. I believe it’s titled “C10 must do mods and upgrades. On off switch for lights” if you don’t need it no big deal. Just thought it may help! Here’s the link to the switch. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Thanks yep that helps. I'm just now getting into the electric rc. I've always had nitros and never had to mess with much electronics just simple stuff.
@@bengammell9305 awesome! Well you’ll love the electric stuff I believe. I had a couple nitros and the ease of the electric stuff is just too nice! Throw a battery in it and run lol
@@2fmrc Speaking of the lights.. do the lights from the bumper just plug into the headlight spot? I tried that on mine and thought I was going to break the piece. It seems like they are a different size.
Love to hear “bone stock” “I haven’t done anything to it besides…”
“Bone stock, 100% how it came out of the package……except…” - average sleeper build owner
On Sunday I installed an upgraded servo in my Chevy C10 SCX24. It took me 10 times longer to install the EMAX ES08MAII Servo & tray then it should have. It was very difficult for me & several times I thought I couldn’t finish it. As it turns out, the servo is defective?!? When the installation was 99% completed, NO SCREW provided or on hand would thread into the servo to secure the arm.
I’ve contacted AMAIN. It was difficult to even convey the issue at all.
I asked if there was a “clamping” servo arm that would be the correct size & work w/ this servo & in this truck.
I am not optimistic. Do you know of any?
The arm used was “modified” from the 4 sided servo arm provided w/ the new servo.
I once again apologize for these seemingly inane questions.
I hope to hear back to you.
Thanks,
JoeM
Joseph Morelli wow! So that sucks! Haven’t had that happen. I don’t know of a clamping style arm off hand (haven’t needed one) I always use the one included as well. I did purchase an aluminum one that fit my Savox on my 4ws rig but it needed a different ball end to fit the links that I didn’t have so I never even used it. I’ll try to look around a bit and see what I can find. You could always put a dab of glue on it once you have it installed in the correct spot but I know that’s a bit permanent lol. Have they contacted you back about replacing the servo?
2FM RC AMain has been responsive as they always are. I was told “the manufacturer doesn’t always supply that particular screw...”??? I just now ordered what was suggested. It was also recommended to install an aluminum arm. I’ve searched & searched & to be honest unless it outright said the arm would work w/ this servo & in this truck, I wouldn’t know what a correct arm would be! I only found out today the T# referred to the amount of teeth on the servo! I thought perhaps it was referring to the length?
While I realize the T# is obviously very important, NO ONE has been able to tell me what that # is for this servo.
If you come across anything that might help me, I appreciate it.
You’ve been wonderful getting back to me.
Thanks,
JoeM
2FM RC AMain has always been wonderful to me. One is on the way. I am not thrilled to have to go at it over again, but hopefully I learned from all my mistakes.
I still would like to find out the “details” needed to match a servo arm w/ a servo & vehicle. Right now it’s a mystery to me.
Joseph Morelli you really just gotta count the teeth on the servo for the arm. Most servos tell how many teeth they are. I believe the emax is 15. If that’s the case you may be able to use one of the clamping style arms from amazon. The only problem I had was the screw hole where the ball stud mounts in the arm was bigger than the stock one. So I couldn’t mount my steering link to the arm if that makes sense?
Is my interpretation of the “T#” correct? Is that the # of teeth on the servo gear? I see T#’s stamped on many of the servos arms. There isn’t a T# on the servo arms that come w/ this EMAX.
What are the best all terrain tires
And best parts
I love how you mod these. One question though, why do you put the shocks at that angle? You're limiting their travel because of the geometry of the links. Best solution would be to mount them as high as possible straight over the axle.
Not sure why it works but I’ve tried several different setups and I just prefer them at an angle honestly. Nothing worked as well on my indoor course for me but a lot of it depends on what you’re running on and truck setup I think. It also helps bring the belly of my trucks up a bit which sounds completely crazy but for my course that has lots of sharp crest on it that just seems to work better than a belly dragger.
@@2fmrc Ideally, just going from an engineering standpoint you'd want the shocks mounted high, and then get springs with a stiffness that sets them at the desired height. But if it that works it works. I've found that sometimes real car stuff does or doesn't transfer over to them, you never know if you don't try.
@@secret5. exactly! And my setup may not work for everyone. I just move stuff around and go try it on my little course. If it works I stick with it lol
Mounting the shocks like that gives you more articulation
Do you have a video of how to make the lights run of a switch
I've been trying to find that out as well, seems fairly simple to wire up but im still new to the hobby and don't want to start wiring things up together without truly knowing.
Actually, just found a comment from 3 months ago. This is the link to the electronic switch he has installed in order to be able to use the transmitter to turn the lights on and off. Cheers! www.amazon.com/dp/B07BKSGW3D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@EcoXpress11 thanks man
Sounds like a lot of mods.
So, how much $ exactly did all the mods costed you?
Figu Wolf probably around $150-175 total with servo,servo plate,wheels & tires,shocks,steering links,brass front diff cover,brass hex,barrage motor, switch for lights and brass to make my links. Not cheap but well worth it to me! I can’t leave anything stock lol
2FM RC thanks for your quick answer. Good review. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹🍻
Figu Wolf Austria?! That’s awesome!! Thanks so much for watching! Glad to help!
2FM RC yes, I’m having a 1:10 scale trx4, however during the cold season I would like to play inside with something smaller, cannot decide between the scx24 and kyosho mini-z toyota...
Figu Wolf there is actually a new kyosho mini z coming in October! It’s the same platform but is a Jeep body. I plan to get one of them and compare to the scx24. I don’t think they are quite as capable from what I’ve seen but the detail on the body is amazing. The kyosho also runs on aaa batteries and I’m not a fan of that. The last 1/24 I had that ran on aaa batteries I wasn’t happy with the power at all.
No music please
What I like about the Axial SCX24 is I do not have to do any thing to them. No mods what so ever. Love it right out of the box and will not spend any time at all doing modifications. I have the SCX24 Dead Bolt, B17 Betty, Jeep CRC and the C10. No mods to any of these vehicles! I do not buy vehicles if they have to be modified for me to enjoy them. I also have a couple SCX10II with no mods at all. I am not picky about a toy truck as some people are. It is just a toy.
Thank you for this comment. Waiting on my c10 arriving spent the last day looking at mods and upgrades. What you are saying is refreshing. Sometimes even looks like mods take the challenge out it
no moosic. like your course.
Thank you! It’s definitely provided lots of entertainment lol
Cheap music😂
Man get to the point. Hate rambling
Then move on! I’m not here to please anyone 🤷🏻♂️
