Way cool. I'm also noticing the orange cord, for what I assume is dynamic recovery. And here I thought I invented the technique of looping it back through the chassis like that. 😁👍
LOL. We used to do that with hockey cards when I was a kid. Me, I used a Bobby Orr rookie card. Yeah, that clicking has got to go. Best of luck sourcing it down.
Obviously Optimus is your most capable crawler, but this is becoming my favorite. Maybe it's because I've seen it the most? It really is nice seeing it come along like it has. With all the extra weight you've added, I'm starting to think it is a good thing the stock tires were as stiff as they were to handle all that weight under stress. This is really looking amazing with the brass and chrome!
Those axles look awesome and seem to plant those tires well. Need me a second job so I can get me a set plus all the brass as well.thanks for another good video
Great vid about the metal axles. I've got a set for my Cappra from Treal, not assembled yet. You're right, there beautiful and very heavy. We'll see pretty quick. Thanks again, keep it up.
I agree with your taste in chassis bling. Most of the upgrades(and money) on my TRX-4 Sport has been for metallic jewelry for the portals and such. But between the cost and the aesthetics of those Vitavon housings and portals, I'd have to turn my rock-garden into a dirt trail so as to never come close to marring those beautiful axles. Even then I'd need to fashion protective skid plates for both assemblies before I dare drive it.
I just drooped my 10iii and I ain't gunna lie it made a huge difference. That 1st obstacle you showed? Mine would be able.to climb it with a slight bump of throttle. I got the 2 stage proline foams soft outer hard center with 1.9 deepwoods amazingly well. I put all rc4wd electronics in it with a 35t motor with the dig active. I do dig those axles though!!!!! I'm jealous because your rig is amazingly gorgeous.
Lol. 👍👍👍👍. TY JOE. yeah. Those helped that truck all around. It needed that weight. Or it works well with that truck rather. Even with the tyres But damn. That extra load made that click come back like it was before you tweeked it . Lol. And again ty.
@@michaelarriola7296 I'm not sure if you know by now, but Vanquish now has both front and rear housings in clear and black for the 10.3. Front housing will need a pair of c-hubs, and the rear housing has its own cover
I havent watched your future videos but the clicking is known for a backwards gear in the gear box. Harley Designs mentions how to fix it in his overview of what to change on the scx10.3
I’d like to see you swap out servos. I just ran the triple 7 on 3s and it kept making me crash. The steering is so much faster than I am use to and it changes direction much quicker. Glad I ended up getting it. I ran the trax-ass 330oz blue servo and it would stall easily especially after being on the rocks for a few obstacles. So I got a savox 2230sg and really questioned whether the triple 7 would make a difference. I’m running it stair to my jst lead off the esc and it’ll push obstacles around. Got it to stall once on a curb but I think that was more of its protection mode because it wasn’t warm and it’s slid the truck away from obstacles. Finally a servo that can work on the hefty trx6.
Hey boss! Quick question hopefully you can answer!! I got the KYX Portal axles for the scx10.3 but I still have the regular scx10 rails would that mount that you explained to us fit on the old scx10 rails? Also does the trx-4 have the same system that you are explaining to us but on the shock towers instead? Because Im just trying to put on this axle on my scx10 properly! And I have the trx4 mounts that I can just drill the extra hole onto and put them on my rails but am a bit confused on what will work well for the KYX portals that have the same design, thanks in advance!
Where can we buy the the Vitavon complete portal brass knuckles/hubs and covers ("compleat outers" )or better yet just the knuckles/hubs (I have the Vitavon weighted covers), all I find is the F9 ones, they are different. Can't find what you have anywhere.
@@ExocagedRC I see the links, I have most of it in my cart except the knuckles, very much want to complete the whole upgrade. Why are those limited, seems like they would be just what many want, are looking for, and would sell well. Thanks for reply.
I really enjoy your videos, very informative. I am in the process of building my scx 10 iii. I like how you are adding low weight while keeping light wheels. Would love to see alternatives for the spektrum micro servos. Also, have you tried the stiffer springs in the back instead of the front? Wondering how it will affect steep climbs.
do you know if you can use a engine sound box on this jeep? i had the scx 2 and took my sound box out of that and tried to put it in my new scx10 3 jeep and it doesnt seem to have a spot on the reciever for it to work, this sure does take away 50% of the fun, dont understand why this company wouldnt havr thought about this, its crazy.
Im hearing ya about the hubs hanging out on the inside ... what blows me out is ... people put a HUGE hex nut extension on ... and all you see is the portal box hanging down in the middle of no where ready to catch any rock that the portals where made to miss in the first place! LoL! The only thing the portals are good for with a huge extension like peeps have is for hanging up on stuff! Love ya trucks as always mate ... you equip them with some "To nice to scratch" CNC parts! So tell me ... does it make you cringe the first time those vitavons drag across a rock? Lol! Your better then I am ... if i could afford that stuff, mine would be a shelf queen! HaHa!
Just listening to the scx10iii run now sounds like a mini jackhammer. After watching more and more videos about scx10iii doesn't make me not want buy one. Way too loud, no matter how good it looks
Sc10iii’s click and not able to make it over some spots annoys me though for how much they are. I still prefer your gen8 or the trx sport runs you do on that same track.
hello, my Panhard rod mount on the plastic axle flew off, I want to buy the same Vitavon axles, are they structurally well made? I don't want to throw money down the drain.
I've done everything I can think of man, gears and all, the issue is the input gears at the transmission are loose on the shaft and they shift under load, basically poor tolerances.
@@ExocagedRC Thank you, looked around for the Vitavon knuckles but can't find them. Trying not to buy the whole axle for now. Pretty sure the newer Supershafty knuckle will also work with the Vitavon portal weight.
I have 2 bodies that is poly plastic with hard plastic pieces I kinda of fan of that style but why not just put hard bodies back on the rc like the old days. I find if you use the body that hard plastic parts. They bind and bend after while they crack the body Is not so good now. Just my option
That chrysler click is soooooo common in the real world, maybe its part of the design? Not really but its remarkable that jeeps usually go ticky ticky and the rc one does now too!
You cant clear "this" obstacle and you cant clear" this" obstacle again.Does it worth? i dont think so.The SCX lll cant make us happy and we sell it to buy a set of TRX4 Axles to build a nother truggy.
Are you still buying parts from China with the health scare happening. There are a lot of people who want this brand of parts but are hesitant at the moment I’m sure. Vitavon parts are super nice. That clicking sound what is that coming from. It’s bad.
Yeah done that, didn’t help. I have a video on it showing how sloppy the gears are on the shafts. Poor tolerances and maybe mine is worse than others I don’t know.
Please help me I have a brand new scx11 never been opend I'm afraid I cant build it I would love to trade for trx4 kit I dont want to mess it up please trade me so I dont mess up a 400$rig please I'll payshipu g
The clicking would drive me nuts
Performs as well as it looks! 🤩👌🏽
Way cool. I'm also noticing the orange cord, for what I assume is dynamic recovery. And here I thought I invented the technique of looping it back through the chassis like that. 😁👍
NaturallyRC that’s the DSM Integrated Recovery Kit. I have it on 3 trucks now.
@@ExocagedRC I had it on my Barrage back in 2018. So, turns out I did invent it after all. Just someone else did too.
Man that looks amazing, beautiful craftsmanship in the axle!!
Actual still look awesome the clicking sounds like playing cards inside the spokes of a bicycle wheel
LOL. We used to do that with hockey cards when I was a kid. Me, I used a Bobby Orr rookie card. Yeah, that clicking has got to go. Best of luck sourcing it down.
I did that out of lexan for my boys last weekend lol!
@@NaturallyRC or run over a soda can so you sound like an annoying dirt bike lol
Obviously Optimus is your most capable crawler, but this is becoming my favorite. Maybe it's because I've seen it the most? It really is nice seeing it come along like it has.

yeah man, I like shiny things for sure, when I order stuff sometimes I specifically ask for the shiniest options they have.
@@ExocagedRC Hahaha, that's awesome! 😃
WOW! Great looking axles.
Man that thing is sick.. Good job i love it
Those axles look awesome and seem to plant those tires well. Need me a second job so I can get me a set plus all the brass as well.thanks for another good video

yeah I know I'm going to scrape these up but I was trying not to in this. The wood stuff isn't an issue but those rocks are brutal!

At 16:37 what are the straps maid of ? Seatbelts?
Fire hose it looks
Yep old firehose that failed inspection.

Man that is awesome and looks amazing and definitely go with triple 777
Become one with the click. One of us. One of us
The click to click them all!!
Awesome course !
Good overview! I can't help but wonder, what's with the orange bungee all around the chassis for?
Pretty sure it’s how he runs his servo winch
I havent watched your future videos but the clicking is known for a backwards gear in the gear box. Harley Designs mentions how to fix it in his overview of what to change on the scx10.3
I've been into this thing way too many times and am done with messing with it.
Need to put a link to that bowhouse tool set in your description box. 😁
I’ll add this one in there. Thanks for the suggestion. bowhouserc.com/bowhouse-rc-all-in-one-tool/
Chek your gear mesh for the clic noise. Nice video you make a great job

Some are using the reefs micro 99 servos with great success. It requires a bit of work to make them work but they are awesome
@@ExocagedRC Thanks for the reply. Will look into them.
Can't wait to see it with some better tires!!
I’ve done videos with other tires.
Anything done to the gears. There seems to be no play. Is it shim out?
Love the jeep crawler, are you thinking about the new Gladiator varient and doing the same work or maybe doing those capra axles???
I have to stop watching these. My wife is gonna kill me if I keep spending money on my Capra lol. Good video dude per usual.
Nice truck and upgrades but man that clicking would drives nuts. I love your videos by the way 🌞 🌞😎
it does, but in person its not as bad sounding as on camera
@@ExocagedRC probably man keep them coming i love wathching your channel
Glade to see they keep sending you axles to review don’t lie lol
And why a sway bar
do you know if you can use a engine sound box on this jeep? i had the scx 2 and took my sound box out of that and tried to put it in my new scx10 3 jeep and it doesnt seem to have a spot on the reciever for it to work, this sure does take away 50% of the fun, dont understand why this company wouldnt havr thought about this, its crazy.
What is that orange bungee cord for on you 10.3?
Shiny happy people laughing✨✨✨
Is the stock locker the 6bolt style
Your link doesn't work. Do they sell that as a unit? With the portal ends

Well. Yeah I do kinda cringe at first good hit, and the second and third. LoL metal housings hitting rocks is so bad. LoL
How big is your yard? I have yard envy big time...
lol this is on about 1 acre of it. I have about 4acres in total

That clicking is horrible. Redcat costs half as much and is twice as quiet. Have you swapped out the motor and spur to see if that helps?
I've done everything I can think of man, gears and all, the issue is the input gears at the transmission are loose on the shaft and they shift under load, basically poor tolerances.
it's clicking because of its assembled wrong
They didn’t do for Element RC..🙁
Vitavon? Yeah I don't think he has anything for Element
Exocaged RC ya contacted Aurther..
Even Lizards think, dem axles are dope. 👍🦎
Nice Moves:)
Wher did you get the axels?
Ebay, links are in the description
Is this a public park I would love to come crawl there I live just a few hrs from ya
That my back yard
Omg 😍 that's so awesome thanks for responding joe you got a fan here from panama city
Brandon Mcneal cool man. That’s not too far. Not sure if it’s worth the drive but it’s here.
Man it would be worth it to me brotha maybe we could get together and crawl sometime in the future after this pandemic
Brandon Mcneal cool we can do that
Coming in at over eight and a half pounds?
philip bender yep
Are you looking to part ways with the stock axle housings? I would love to buy them from you if you aren't planning on reusing them
or a shiny metal *ss... and yes, more planted. Great stuff!
LOL Bender is a Legend!!!
Would those front knuckles work on a Capra?
Yes they sure do
@@ExocagedRC Thank you, looked around for the Vitavon knuckles but can't find them. Trying not to buy the whole axle for now. Pretty sure the newer Supershafty knuckle will also work with the Vitavon portal weight.
I saw a video or something and someone fixed the clicking sound.
tidus pernicano yep, I saw it, tried it, didn’t work.
I have found half of a solution to the clicking believe it or you need to shim front and rear axles! It's stop 80% of the clicking
Chris Coles the axles are not the clicking. Sometimes the ujoint do make some noise but that’s not it for this one.
I have 2 bodies that is poly plastic with hard plastic pieces I kinda of fan of that style but why not just put hard bodies back on the rc like the old days. I find if you use the body that hard plastic parts. They bind and bend after while they crack the body Is not so good now. Just my option

Wish I could afford a set but with the cost of the truck and everything to get it running im broke lol mind you this truck is still a beast
I cant believe they mounted the motor so high in this truck. Gonna be hard lowering cog on this thing. Forget ever dropping a 550 in it.
It can fit a normal 550
Can you say Focus?????????
Yeah triple 7
That looks real sweet but at a cost $$$ 😳
not cheap
CNC axle housing, brass diff covers, brass portal housing, LIGHTER wallet 😂🤣
Yes!! LoL
Watch other videos it doesnt click because they have the gears installed correctly
Yeah yeah I’ve done all that they have done. Gears are right in this one. Still clicks
Hmmm thats wierd
👍🏾💯
Those are nice axles but too pricey for my wallet.
Jr Duenas they are not cheap at all
U could buy another Scx10 3 kit w that price but dam they look amazing!
Sounds worse now that clicking is back
Yeah I know
Them tires are not good for wood I see
Maybe leave the rear axle back to plastic 🤷🏼♂️
It still has a nice bias to it. I could take the brass off the back and use the plastic caps to lighten it up a bit.
Exocaged RC that should work perfecto
Shit this thing is getting close to trx6 weight territory
Ha! It’ll still click 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like an old sewing machine
What the clicking
You cant clear "this" obstacle and you cant clear" this" obstacle again.Does it worth? i dont think so.The SCX lll cant make us happy and we sell it to buy a set of TRX4 Axles to build a nother truggy.
Are you still buying parts from China with the health scare happening.
There are a lot of people who want this brand of parts but are hesitant at the moment I’m sure. Vitavon parts are super nice.

yeah, if you order off ebay, everything is dead in there by the time it gets to us.

Thanks bro. Means a lot you answered.
I sub bro..
That clicking means u have ur tranny gears installed wrong
Nope
Here's a video that may help you get rid of the clicking. th-cam.com/video/4q2t7QhsAUs/w-d-xo.html
