You da man! Instead of crying about the problems, you found a way to fix them👏. That's why I love this hobby...
You got it! And it’s easy enough anyone can do.
FINALLY !! Replaced the shock mounts (aluminum) and made a brace out of some kind of picture or curtain hanging bracket.
Thank you sir, for your awesome idea. A bit late but Hey, Iit doesn't leave the bsnt often
Gotta love flexing track bar mounts!!!! Axial did a great job in adding that scale realism. Great DIY fix EXO!!!👍👍👍
Just did this panhard mod on my Honcho6, not only did it help, it looks ace, and I thouroughly enjoyed the work. Thx from South Norway!
Imagine Axial coming out with a Capra6 or a SMT6 😮 or even a Wraith6
Axial NEEDS a 6x6 anything! IMHO, they effed up horribly when they dropped the scx10 6x6.
BUT, thats how horizon hobby rolls. (Downhill!)
@@old-rcplane-phart sadly the scx10ii 6x6 was designed before horizon hobby took over
If they make a capra 6 they need to have so good weight down low if the do a similar cage
The way I see it is when these axles come available. What about a Thor 2.0? LoL how awesome would that be???😂😂
Edit, wow this 6 is only about 1” wider than Thor…. LoL jeebus!!
Yes would love a video explaining the splitter for the lights and fan as I'm about to put a bec at 7.4v on mine
Thanks for this tip. My SCX6 just arrived yesterday and I made the bracket today out 1.6mm steel - a great improvement. Unfortunately about 10mins into my test run at home, the steering servo stripped - what a piece of junk for this car. Fortunately I already had a Powerhobby 1513MG on its way to me - hopefully about 5 days away now. I'll be direct powering this from the 3s battery. I also have 2 Gens Ace 3s 8000's due here in 2 days. Also have alloy front shock mounts coming to take care of the other end of the panhard. I'm looking forward to getting this out for a proper run. Thanks for what you do to find improvements for new RC's.
Nice video. I would recommend an episode about affordable BEC's and ESC's. Not all can afford that premium electronic equipment.
Exactly what mines doing. Will be addressing that. Thank you bud
After I get my money back rite after the holidays I'm gonna get one of these. I fell in love with the clodbuster cause of its size so I'm a big scale guy for sure, I have to have one of these big brushless setup in it I bet it would be fun fun
I used the Spektrum programming card and changed the bec to 7.4.. huge difference
Did you leave the lights connected? If so did they burn out?
Still overloading the internal BEC though. 😉
Like the 1st few runs on the scx10.3! (& Gen8,) & many others from using flexy plastic material.
Thanks for another enjoyable video. I did notice at around 3:34 the steering servo seemed to be flexing a bit. I would also suggest using a 6 volt relay powered by the ESC’s BEC to control the connection of the external BEC to the battery. With a relay setup the factory power switch will still function as intended
The stock steering servo is rated a 6v-7.2v BTW. A bypass adapter can also be DIY-ed on the cheap if you can solder.
Yep
right on
This is my first rig with a fan for the esc. And never knew when binding or stalling a steering servo can blow the esc. The Beast 1000 did slow the fan down significantly when the servo would bind. I installed a Bec and a HH bypass wire harness so I can run the stock lights and so that the Bec and esc would not interfere. The Bec worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice. You saved my Esc. Now I'm going to add the braces that you mentioned.
Nice do you have like a diagram of the bec and hh connections
I enjoy your channel. Just one thing though. You are right about the ESC being underpowered, especially the BEC. It's not the voltage though. You can crank it back to 6v and run a splitter to the lights and fan off the last Aux slot. The ESC only puts out 3amps for the BEC. A mini servo needs more than that. All is well just adding a 10 amp Castle external BEC. The steering does much better, and everything stays with a happy voltage.
Nice brace 👌, why not run a bec bypass cable so can run both bec's at same time, steering at 8v and esc at 6v with fan and shift servo
Thanks for the great info. Another good tip is to change cap head bolts in bottom of Diff's to button heads. The button heads catch on rocks a lot less than the cap heads.
I think in your closing statements is the perfect opportunity to talk a little bit about your upcoming videos and then you can lead into suggesting that if one's interested in upcoming content to subscribe. Also it would be a good opportunity to ask for viewer comments/feedback 👍 keep up the good work, love the channel
Thank you man. I’ve started adding in the little subscribe icon in the videos and in all honesty the majority of viewers don’t make it to the ending. You are one of the few and I appreciate that. Thank you.
GREAT VIDEO JOE!!. Now this is the kind of stuff I subbed you for to begin with man !!👍.
Awesome man. Now we need some better rod ends for it. LoL
@@ExocagedRC 👍 I wasn’t going to mention that. Lol. But I did notice that’s where your slack was. Lol.
I really like this truck. It’s a beast. I watched a video where a grown man (he was short lol ) but he sit on its top and rode it. And not just a few feet. He rode that sob for 20 mins. Then … HE HOOKED UP HIS GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP TO IT AND PULLED IT WHILE SITTING ON THIS TRUCK !!! And he didn’t break anything. He just Wollard off the bead of a tyre and striped 1 hex. Lol. no joke man. You need to watch this video. It will give you a new perspective on how week this thing is built! Lol
You can also use a rx bypass lead to just send 8v to the steering and keep the 6v to the other servo and receiver. I use rx bypass leads on my summit and erevo i run my reefs triple 5 on 8v and then it lets me keep my receiver and micro servos at 6v
Thanks for the videos and great suggestions. Made a brace for the steering after watching. Used 3mm thick aluminum and now there is no flex.
Thanks for all your videos
Awesome man!
I totally heard the fan slow down. I popped a BEC in last night; though only 6v. I'm going to try and make your steering brace for sure before I pop in my S9120BL.
Yeah buddy. The bec and brace makes a huge difference and can save the esc
WOW! All these small things add up. They should have been inspecting this more before making the truck. I'm gonna have to wait to see if they change anything.
Awesome Joe! You read my mind on the braces!
Don't forget your taillight stickers! Lol
Thanks !! Definitely gonna make one for mine !!
Nu dat ik ook een Scx6 heb leer ik veel van u
Bedankt 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱👍👍👍👍
Great Tip!!! Nothing better than a free mod that works great....Thanks!
Where is the SCX6 forum you are referring to? Would love to join and learn even more.....Thanks
The hole pan hard bar is flexing
The ends are not so solid
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great fix Joe. Very resourceful
That’s awesome dude, appreciate the tip !! Hopefully next summer I’ll have one. Meanwhile I’ll be following more videos, you put out some of the best videos I love it
Thank you
Can you do a video on how you built your BEC it’s new to me an I love how yours look compared to others on TH-cam
5 years from now. This will have millions of views and thousands of comments
Thank's for your inspiration!
Nice I was just looking at bracing the panhard mount on the axle. I also see some deflection coming from the rear links and rod ends (upper rear at the axle), this could use a longer bolt and nut to clamp them better (should be a M4x45mm screw and bolt).
love seeing all these mods to the scx6!! keep up this epic content..
Hope someone comes out with a nice aluminum track bar mount like that. I’ll rig one up but a nice cnc’d piece would be great.
Adding servo strength and removing the five is gonna fill the rod ends I’m guessing.
So, I’m wanting some better rod ends, aluminum trac bar axle mount brace, aluminum front shock tower. Then see where the weak point is after that. I like the weak point to be something easily fixed…so maybe keep the plastic rod ends and if something goes it’s a few min trail side fix?
Great idea!!!
I can't belive they wouldn't have made that double sheer
Pretty clever
Wow, monster machine
Awesome informational video Joe. I'm living the scx6 so far but man is that servo prolly the worst rtr servo I've seen yet.
Always good info.
flipping heck that's a cool huge monster of a jeep😀👌👍👍👍😎
I might need that brace I'm thinking about getting a scx6
If the steering servo can do 8 volts why not just use a receiver bypass harness. That would have the castle bec directly powering the the steering servo and the rest powered by the internal bec.
Yep I have a few of those and will use one when I set it up for dual power, 6v and 8v so I can use the lights.
@@ExocagedRC I've been running that setup for years in my trx4 and still have the factory shift servo on the trans it's happy with the bec from my sidewinder 3 and my reefs 555 is more than happy with the castle bec 2.0
Yeah a servo bypass would be the easiest and you don't have to make custom leads to power your esc fan. Just take a servo y harness and pull the red wire, bam you just made a servo bypass.
Hey EXO, luv the videos. Super helpful and entertaining. I have a scx6. Running an external bec. I'm not much of electronics expert. Lol! But you mentioned that it's possible to power the led lights from the orange wire from the esc that was pulled from connector. Any chance you're interested in making that video?
Thanks again.
Awesome
Great info👍 i have subscribed your channel😊
Excellent job! Again! Can you show us more detail info on a UBEC and connections.I've never used an external BEC before and I'm worried not to ruin everything.Tx!
It’s straight forward dc voltage stuff. Just look at diagrams and see where your positives and negatives are on the pieces he mentioned and connections are where he said. .
And you can use any other reference as long as the number of wires are the same on the diagrams for any other servo or esc. And the are pluses & minuses on the esc itself to let you know what colors they are using.
Or just do a search on TH-cam for hoooking up external Bec to a spectrum esc. They should be hundreds or maybe thousands of videos to use.
But it’s really self explanatory knowing how dc voltage works and the pieces names he mentioned to where the wires goes. From there it’s just learning where the p & n are .
Also search Holmes Hobbies channel. He gets into that really well.
Why not just have the external BEC power only the steering servo and let the ESC keep powering the receiver and everything else?
I just bought one for fathers days and my second run yesterday the servo burnt out crawling over rocks.
BEC is $30 well spent on this truck!
I also wonder if in axial fashion they come out with a kit that fixes things like they did with the ryft kit vs rtr
Just got me one of these. But steering is super weak. Think I’m gonna try one of these. I don’t have the $250 for the 1/5th servo
Hey check up HH hobby makes that bec & servo adapter to run esc no mod on any wires
Have you changed the end points on the steering channel on the transmitter ?
No sir. Today I changed the radio
I love when you have to do R and D on a 1100 dollar truck lol
LoL well yeah😂😂
@@ExocagedRC lol
After adding a bec, the battery can no longer tell the control what the battery level is when using a smart battery. Only downside that i found. Steers much better at 8.4v
I’m running the bec to power only the steering servo. Just made a splitter to exclude the bec’s red/black wires going to the reciever. That way the internal esc bec has a lot less to do and my servo has a dedicated power system that is adjustable.
I know we all enjoy working on these and making upgrades etc. But the fact is for the money this thing costs, this should not have been an issue. this is a very big unit, and should have been build much sturdier in all areas.
I agree. They failed on the steering for sure.
when will someone make a off switch that actually disconnects the battery connection so you can leave the batteries plugged in without them draining to nothing.
Will you sell the axle support?
Will an xmaxx body fit on that
Tamed
I want to put hub extensions on the SCX6 like +10mm offset - (ordered mine but have not received it yet) anyone know what the axle size is - referring to the actual threaded part (I know the hub is 17mm) im guessing the axle size is 6 or 8mm? (really hoping someone has popped the wheel off and measured) or even better knows of a hub extension that works for sure!
HOW MUCH???
For what? A scrap piece of metal can be had for free.
.
🤔
Why the hell can't they get this shit right from the start? It's sad with the cost of these things that they can't get it right.
