- Опубліковано 27 гру 2022
- In this video I kick off the new LGRP Ultra 24 SCX24 build! In part one of this series I assemble the chassis using a scx24 deadbolt frame and skid plate. I also build and install the LGRP Super 8 axles and install the Torque beadlock wheels wrapped in Swamp King tires, long travel shocks, and high clearance billet links. I also paint the tubular chassis and body panels and provide a mock-up of the finished product. Enjoy!

i just got a fcx24 for christmas and i'm loving it. i also ordered the fj 40 body for the scx24 so i am hyped
You're the culprit on why the super 8s are always outa stock lol
Guilty as charged LOL
@Cape Crawlers can't wait to run this up against my sledgehammer at wreckless bro
@@nolabel2062 Yes! That will be epic
Oh man that thing is super cool!!! I've been thinking about doing an ultra 24 kit as well. Just looks so good! I'm excited for future episodes of this build. Thanks for another great video Adam, take care!!!
Thanks! I am so in love with this build. It came out so good I think.
Awesome! I'm loving my ultra! It's very hight quality and a great chassis!
What did you use for a motor in yours, also drive shafts if you dont mind sharing!
Awesome build brother 👍 I think you really out did yourself this time, that ride is looking sweeeeeet !! Fantastic video Adam
Thank you! We’re not done yet! I can’t wait to see it in action 👍🏻
Awesome fact about LGRP…That’s so damn cool!
Right?! Very cool.
Great looking rig so far, can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks! I’m excited to run it!
Awesome video, like always!
It looks like it’s going to be great
just started my ultra 24 and super pumped to get it together. Yours is turning out sick!!! super helpful video too!
Thanks for watching! What motor are you going to use in yours?
@@CapeCrawlers furitek komodo mini and a lizard pro.
Damn love it already
Can't wait to run it!
I just got all my components for an ultra24 build, is been an exciting week to say.
It's such a fun project! Great quality kit.
I love the punisher theme, really going to show those rocks who’s boss!
Absolutely! It seemed very appropriate for the build!
That rig is gonna be a ripper🔥
I can't wait to run it! Gotta decide on a powerplant as well. I'm now leaning towards the Mofo RC big block or a micro komodo. We'll see!
really badass build, love the way you did the punisher logo. hopefully you can get that motor in there somehow
Thank you! I may try the micro komodo, or the Mofo RC big block. I'm not ready to give up yet. I need that big power!
Great build! The new 100% brass LGRP wheels would look awesome on this!
Thank you! I agree. They keep pumping out the upgrades. I can't keep up with the awesomeness!
@@CapeCrawlers I hear ya! I just bought the Torq wheels a month ago, but couldn't pass up the brass ones. Also, the Injora full axles might be a good fit for this build. They have a black / red option that would match nicely
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Finally subbing. Hope to see more non injora builds! 🤟🏼
Thanks for watching! I’ll be doing an Injora buggy build very soon!
That’s awesome dude, have to get me some of those tires I like those. Awesome build I’ll be following
I love these tires. They work so well on virtually all terrain
Wow. Looks good!
Thank you!
Great vid Adam im so excited for this build
Thanks for watching! Can’t wait to fire it up!
Would the torquebeast 50 be a good motor for this build
@@crawlerobsessed7918 It would, but I am after more speed. I need something with good torque and lots of top end. The torquebeast is a great, smooth crawling motor, but not much faster than stock 88t motors.
that thing is sick
Thanks! It’s been a very fun project
That is awesome!
Thanks!
Awesome looking rig.
Thanks! I can't wait to run it.
Love you vids Adam!
I appreciate the support!
So dope
Thanks for watching!
this is a awesome build it has caught my interest highly to want to build one
It performs amazing too! Great platform.
I love rc rock crawlers 😁
this truck is like my dream build!
Can't wait to see it run. I love it already!
@@CapeCrawlers it will be a while before I could save up to build one, but I can't wait! do you think the mofo big block motor would fit? also, I don't know if you've seen them but meus has the ripper cage and it looks just like the ultra 24 you should get one and do a comparison!
@@farmboyrc it's funny you mention the big block. That's exactly what I am planning to try! I can do a rear facing mount and it should fit fine.
I have been using Treal axels and they are really nice. I would like to try LGRP ones but as of my writing they are still sold out.
Well shoot. I just ordered a Deadbolt for my son. Looks like the mods might start before it gets here.
You're just being proactive!
Bad ass🤙🏾
Thank you!
The ultra 24 is my next project! I had to build the Ripper first. I still cannot believe you like my Ripper!! 😮
I love your ripper! Lots of inspiration there!!
I’m running a micro Komodo in my ultra 24 chassis. I had to remove the front battery tray/skid plate to make it fit. I did use my stock battery tray and put in sideways in the operator’s compartment. I have one screw thru each side door akin to hold it in place. Works good so far. Also made some duct tape limiting straps that go from my servo mount bolts up to the front frame rail bolts. Still get maximum travel but no monster truck lift in the front when climbing. I have LGRP portals on my build, I would love to add some super 8’s but can’t ever catch them in stock.
Sounds like a great setup! Did you mount the micro komodo forward facing?
@@CapeCrawlers yes I run it forward facing, I didn’t even think to flip the skid plate around until I watched your second video. It works great as is so for now I’m going to leave it alone.
Very Freaking Cool Man!
Thanks!
That's a really cool build man, too bad about the motor though, was really hoping to see it in there! And I didn't know that about one of the owners of LGRP, that's too cool he races ultra 4k!
Thank you! I'll have part two up soon and you'll see that I was able to find a way to get plenty of power for it!
@@CapeCrawlers very much looking forward to watching that!
Do any of the LGRP ski plates work on the stock scx24 rails ??
l have an fcx24 and the kit is so pretty that it is compatible?
Adam ! …… sorry about the engine. The raw frame would have looked awesome. Especially when you dropped the PUNISHER 💀. DUDE that’s freakin sweat! Hell yeah bro 💪😎👊
Thanks for watching! I’ll get the motor sorted out one way or the other 💀💪🏻
So sick. I was going to comment and see if you would try to build a sledgehammer ultra 4 on Etsy I just got one and I'm absolutely in love with the looks and performance of it.
I love the look of the Sledgehammer. The Ultra is very similar!
Bro best damn chassis I've run Dan is the man
What size links are you running? Curious I've tried three difrent setups rn I'm running gladiator rears out back and c10 rears upfront
@@nolabel2062 I think these are deadbolt rears and c10 rears.
@@nolabel2062 seriously dude is great and an amazing product. im using c10 rears for the front and deadbolt rear for the rear. has brass portals so needed length for stability.
Love the video, I just finished up my Ripper chassis kit and have been wondering about the Ultra. Totally off topic here but do you run front overdrive in your 4ws deadbolt?
Thanks! I’m hoping to do a ripper next! Yes, I do the 23% OD on the deadbolt as well
@@CapeCrawlers it’s a super fun kit. I was worried front od would hinder maneuverability with four wheel steer but I suppose it probably doesn’t matter too much in such a small scale. Thanks! You rock👊🏼
If you take the skid plate out and mount the trans and motor to it, it should drop right in to the chassis
The godzilla motor you mean?
@@CapeCrawlers Yes
Would it be possible to run the injora axles with this Ultra24 kit/LGRP links?
Yes you can run pretty much any axle setup on this
That sucks that your original plan for the motor didn't work out. Maybe try the mini Komodo motor or the regular Komodo from Furitek. They're both a lower profile motors so they might fit.
We’ll figure it out. I’m thinking if I flip the skid plate I can get a komodo in there.
Love how it looks without the panels. I have only one question, does it come with all the screws? Either way love the build.
I kinda dig it without the panels as well! It comes with the screws for the panels but not the hardware to assemble the body components. I used a healthy amount of my stash for the build
@@CapeCrawlers thanks for letting me know. I will probably get on of those kits with everything you got and then order a scx24 roller chassis of ebay or something. Love the video too.
I have always loved the jeep sign that says "established since..."🤦♂️
Gotta keep you guessing 🤣
@Cape Crawlers I'm taking about how it should say since 1941 or established in 1941 not established since 1941, just doesn't sound right
@@benthebuilder6934 gotcha. I thought you were talking about how I always cut the sign off in my videos!
I'm building one of these kits from scratch. The website says use Deadbolt Rear Driveshaft and a C10 or jeep rear driveshaft. What center drive shafts did you use? Anything you recommend instead of buying axial?
I used the deadbolt rear in the back and c10 rear in the front. It worked perfect! The FMS FCX24 Power Wagon is a ton of fun if you're looking for something besides an Axial.
@@CapeCrawlers I meant any Driveshafts you would recommend other than the stock axial? Since I'm building from scratch and didn't use a donor SCX24. I figured I would buy everything upgraded from the start.
I received this kit a week or so ago and plan on putting it together this weekend along with the high clearance links from little guy so I noticed on the little guy website when you read the description of the links it says that the fronts are 68mm and the rear is only 60mm so is that accurate or maybe just a misprint?
That must be a misprint. The rears are definitely longer. I feel like those numbers should be reversed
@@CapeCrawlers Thanks man I kinda figured. Appreciate the reply and the video..
Do you have a way I can send a pic ?Just finished my build with rear gladiator links front and back gives it a 7 1/4 in wheelbase
You can email me at capecrawlersrc@gmail.com
Such a nice looking rig. Curious if you could do a side by side of the ultra 24 next to a trx4m.
I can do that for sure. I can do a size comparison in the next video
That would be awesome and very much appreciated. Thank you!
I really wish more manufacturers would concentrate on straight arms instead of the high clearance arms cuz I have noticed on quite a few of them that you don't get the same amount of articulation with the bend I've noticed you get a lot more with the straight arms any good four link setup. But seems to be pretty hard finding straight brass arms everybody makes the high clearance ones
That’s a good point. And you’re right that there isn’t a lot of options out there for metal straight arm kits
Why do you use the the analog servo instead of the digital??
It just depends what I have on hand. I've been buying the digital ones as my analogs burn out. I initially bought a bunch of analogs and I'm slowly replacing those units.
where do you get your parts does it take long to get them?
For this kit I got everything from LGRP. They are very fast to ship!
Sweet rig! Have you received your NSDRC servos?
Thanks! No, it's still in transit. Hopefully by the end of the week!
@@CapeCrawlers Awesome! I love them! Have you noticed the axles on your comp rig moving side to side?
@@mr.dillpickle I haven't noticed that personally. But I havent spent a ton of time with it honestly. Five or ten minutes here and there. I've gotta do a good shakedown run.
Hey Adam I’m having troubles with my transmitter I believe. What would be a cheap fix?
If it’s just the transmitter, finding a direct replacement on Facebook marketplace or eBay is probably your best bet.
@@CapeCrawlers ok thank you keep up the good content man I love watching your videos
Nice shirt! Do they make one that fits you? 😂
LOL even if they did I’d still wear a size smaller 💪🏻🤣
I can’t get super 8’s atm for my build. Is there any other axles you’d recommend? That aren’t portal? Thanks mate.
I just got a set of the Injora extended axles and they’re very nice! Love that they come complete with OD gears up front!
@@CapeCrawlers thanks Adam I’ll check them out. I’d love to get the super 8’s just don’t know when they will be ready.
@@CapeCrawlers do you know if you can get a CVD shaft for them?
too bad you couldn't try out the cyclones!
Will the little guy racing swamp kings fit on the stock scx24 gladiator without cutting the body
You’ll need some bigger shocks to lift the body and clear the tires. I don’t think they’ll fit with stock shocks.
Ok thanks
All that came in the kit? Me thinks i missed something. Try the big komoto motor.
I don't know if I could get the big Komodo in there without cutting. I think it's too tall. Maybe not though
I looking at my mini capra and thinking mini mini capra oh hell ya lol
Haha! Yep, this is like the little brother to the UTB18
@@CapeCrawlers it's on my ever growing build list mostly thanks to you haha awesome 👌 👏 👍
sooooooo will this be for sale when finished???????
We'll see. I already love it, so we'll see if I can part with it.
Out of all your small scale rock crawlers what would be the one you would recommend, for myself would be my first small scale crawler I thought about the scx24 I like the look an the hop ups, but seen the trx4m and fms etc what would be the one you would stand by
Scx24. It’s hard to beat the reliability and aftermarket support
@Cape Crawlers from the scx24 is there a model that is better or they all pretty equal, I'm between the dead bolt, jlu and c10 maybe the gladiator lol to many choices
@@dosfeos805 it depends on what grabs you. Deadbolt and c10 are probably the best performers with the gladiator being very close. But the aftermarket can equate performance across all models very easy. So it really comes down to which one you like the best 👍🏻
Awesome, we'll I appreciate it for sure, just recently subscribed to your page. An love the content you put out
Nice build so far how did you get those axles I went on their site to get them for my ultra24 and they weren’t on there
Thank you! I have had them sitting on the bench for a while. I got them during the last restock a few weeks ago.
billet housings will be restocked tomorrow and we have a ton on the way that are getting manufactured right now. there will be lots available within the next month
Ok thanks LGRP
What size shocks did you get
Every time I look they are sold out on the front axels and I've looked a bunch of times.
I want to build a 1/10 crawler so bad for fpv it's just so expensive. Wish I could find a gold mind on affordable used parts to build something nice.
Right?! That’s a big reason I haven’t pulled the trigger on one either. Sticker shock on nearly every part 😅
i want such a build toooooooooooooooooo..........................................
What does the weight of the chassis look like compared to a stock C10 or Dead Bolt? Thanks for the awesome content, my wife already hates you. Lol
Great question, I should have weighed it! I'll see if I can get some weight measurements in the next episode. Tell your wife I'm sorry LOL
@@CapeCrawlers No worries brother, your voice sounds like a cash register to her right now. Haha
