I love your videos I got my first crawler last year for Christmas it was a scx 24 and I loved it I have modded a bit since but I am trying to get back into the hobby
I've got the blue Max Smasher on the way! Super stoked! Man that Gladiator rips! That's some great upgrades, really stepped it up! Thanks for another great video Adam!! Take care!!!
Thanks!! I can’t wait to see the blue max smasher. I put the high speed motor in our white one today and it is OUTRAGEOUS! Highly recommend that upgrade.
Plug the led light on the Head slot in the rx/esc but put the black wire on the top most pin. Control with ch3, off-on-strobe. But i just realized you have rear steer on ch3.
You would just need one of the motor mounts available from MofoRc. The front or rear facing will work. Either way you'll end up doing some chassis mods to get that big motor to fit.
I didnt get enough time with it to tell you for sure. I will do a more in-depth look at the Mofo motors on a more practical rig. I'll focus more on crawling and test the Buzzsaw, torque beast, and Big Block. The big block is such a beast I almost feel I should leave it out of that comparison. But at $30 with the side mount, it is such a huge bang for the buck mod!
Truthfully I’m not ready to invest that much into Axel’s monster truck. The big block is perfect because it’s a pretty inexpensive upgrade and requires very little additional mods (esc). Maybe in the future we’ll throw that in, but right now I’ve got other plans for the Godzilla motor in another build 👍🏻
@@CapeCrawlers cool I totally get it.. I did a rock bouncer also with it sense that stupid rampart axles get breaking on me I gave up on it. Just started using the zilla on MT and this bouncer
@@CapeCrawlers think I could get a subscription i just started I have some health issues so I can’t get away from the house can’t drive. So one day a week im gonna go out somewhere I live in Hawaii so it will be great
Definitely not, but you would be surprised how often I get asked the question of how to make one of these faster. Plus my son is all about hitting stuff fast!

Us dad's we're all proud when the kid knows he wants more power
LOL! Absolutely!
I say get the attachment to allow for double shocks on the monster truck! Love the monster truck idea, great seeing the kid having so much fun!
Yes, it needs to happen!
the light bar looks sick!🔥🔥
Thanks! It's super tough too, and bright!

@@CapeCrawlers Where did you get the motor from? Direct from FMS?
@@TrevorParkJones yes. FairRC also has it. Either way it’s a long wait for shipping but totally worth it
Nice video! I definitely a fan of MOFO RC products.
Thanks! Mofo makes some of the most innovative products for the 1/24's. Love it!
I would definitely do dual shocks all around. Did you change out the worm gear to a diff in the front?
Dual shocks would be awesome, and would help with longevity. It's taking a pounding right now! I did worm gears front and back at 30% OD
I really want to see the blue gladiator with the big block motor! That would be a interesting crawler!
Interesting thought! It would be hard to give up that brushless komodo though!
@@CapeCrawlers Yeah, good point!
Are you able to just swap the leads around on the big block motor vs having to swap the ESC and controller around ?
I think you could although I have not tried
That’s a lot of gearing. Will be pretty impressive if that motor lasts!
Time will tell! I have faith in the Mofo!! :)
Plug the led light on the Head slot in the rx/esc but put the black wire on the top most pin. Control with ch3, off-on-strobe. But i just realized you have rear steer on ch3.
That’s the issue, but I think Axel may ditch the rear steer to free up that switch. He likes the light bar that much!
Thank you Adam ! Dope dope dope video
Thanks for watching!
It’s amazing that you got your kid into RC in fact I got my dad into RC with we and we both use the scx24 he has the jeep I have the c10
Thats awesome! We have a blast and I'm so glad he enjoys it
Can I ask what parts do I need to put a big block motor in my monster truck with a stock transmission? Thanks.
You would just need one of the motor mounts available from MofoRc. The front or rear facing will work. Either way you'll end up doing some chassis mods to get that big motor to fit.
@@CapeCrawlers Thank you again 🙏
What is the side mount you mentioned in your video?
Good comparison ! My SCX's need big blocks to keep up with my Max Smasher .
The big block is a beast. Very happy with it!
RCAWD370 with 2430 brushless swap and 35amp esc. I know youll want it
I wonder how the worm gear will handle the abuse. The worm gear set up seems to best for crawling.
We'll see! I'll let my son thrash it and report back after he does/doesnt break it!
You should swap the scx axles for fcx axles, with the open diffs they should be able to handle some more abuse with faster wheel speed?
Good idea! I'll let Axel thrash it for a while and we'll see how it holds up. A FCX axle swap would be a fun project.
2fm put one of the new speed motors from fms and it looked like a ton of fun but nothing like building your own I'm gonna have to build one
I saw that! I’ve got a couple on order. Can’t wait to try them!
Get yerself a furitek hiroyama, standing backflips.
I'm intrigued by that Mofo Buzz Saw motor, it sounds insane! What's the low end like for crawling?
I didnt get enough time with it to tell you for sure. I will do a more in-depth look at the Mofo motors on a more practical rig. I'll focus more on crawling and test the Buzzsaw, torque beast, and Big Block. The big block is such a beast I almost feel I should leave it out of that comparison.

New england area is beautiful some awesome monster truck slaying ground specially with the speed upgrades
How does the monster tires feel
The injoras are stiff but they still work well. I like the fcx24 MT tires
@CapeCrawlers I might get them im working on my first kit build/upgrade
What would a good motor be for crawling? I got the injora 50t and im wondering what you think
The Mofo torque beast in 50 size is an excellent crawler. Soooooo smooth with good low end punch. Not as snappy as the Injora 50t, but much smoother.
@@CapeCrawlers awesome thank you!
wonder if the speed motor would fit in that!
Where there’s a will, there’s a way 😎
Put the FMS Speed motor in that max smasher for some real deal speed.
It’s in the mail on its way to me as we speak!
@@CapeCrawlers saw some run video of it on 2FMRC 's channel. It's stupid fast. Can't wait to get mine.
Why nor the furitek godzilla with rocketman transmission?
I made a scx24 MT
You won't need OD gears

@@CapeCrawlers cool I totally get it..

The big block burns out on 3s. Anybody know a motor better than the big block? One that's faster and stronger?
The new rcawd 370 motor is pretty impressive I hear!
whene are we gona see your collection Adam?
I'll do a full overview someday. I have to wrap up some projects first though!
@@CapeCrawlers Nice, becous i saw you 1/1 on one of the videos, so you Are all inn?
Stunting 😂 lol
Always 🤣👍🏻
@@CapeCrawlers think I could get a subscription i just started I have some health issues so I can’t get away from the house can’t drive. So one day a week im gonna go out somewhere I live in Hawaii so it will be great
@@CapeCrawlers I would appreciate the support love your videos
Learning from all u guys Is great keeps me from going insane lol
Speeds cool & all, but don't think you need it, when crawling. I mean....maybe it helps a little, but not a lot. 🤨
Definitely not, but you would be surprised how often I get asked the question of how to make one of these faster. Plus my son is all about hitting stuff fast!
@@CapeCrawlers Of course, how fast those little puppies were going, reminded me, how fast my Team Associates Enduro Ecto goes. Lol
