- After building my first comp style SCX24, there were some things that I could improve on for my local competitions. So I decided to just dive into another new build! This time, there was even more that I wanted to build myself though!

Harley's Thingiverse: bit.ly/2YKOhes
Intro was perfect 😂
An inspiring underdog story. All you need is skill, hard work, some liquid tungsten and access to the Vanquish factory and you too can dominate the local mini-comp! Seriously though, as a 1/24 enjoyer it’s awesome to see you push the limits! Looking forward to more.
I do love to have the tools to make ideas work! These trucks are definitely easier to do that for.
That’s a back hand compliment if I ever seen one 😂😂😂
Harley builds these at home.. keep the rad stuff coming bro! And see ya at the next comp 😎
Lol that shit was funny though. Matts fake login
@@RcPlayer-tt2vwWell deserved too! 😂
I love the new 3D printed weight hangers. Please do an in depth how to make those and the way the wheels go on. It is so different.
Flex seal would make those axles black real quick 😂
I for one love seeing the mini content. The mini scene is cool because it almost was a "reset" to comp crawling: new class/ruleset, bringing in new blood and people new to the hobby. I am only seeing good things.
Love to see comments like this as I would be considered new blood! Man this hobby is insanely addictive 😅
That comp at Delta and how much fun it was has me DEEP into the 1/24 stuff with a couple more builds since then lol. Glad my filming didn’t suck!
Look at Josh getting into the small crawls lol 👍🏼. It would be so awesome to be able to machine & build parts like this! Sweet!!
Tools can be expensive but once you have them you can make so many things! I’ve slowly collected all these tools, anyone can do the same. Highly recommend!!
@@HarleyDesignsInc Send Axial yours as a template for a new model :)
I love seeing some real innovation and 1/10 building techniques in the 1/24 field. So many people are building these little trucks in such ridiculous ways with absurd articulation and insanely wide widths
It's funny how you swore that the 24th's were silly...and now, here you are.😂😂😂
You're hooked 😂😂 soon enough you'll have a bunch of them 😂😂😂
WOW one of my favorite videos so far on your chanel!! Machining, building, designing, comping, painting!! I'm working on a HP duv remake. Great video
When I seen you do that two brain buggy it was like the black and gold covered in that epoxy man you showed yourself right there you showed your hand you are very very good you definitely need to get this stuff in production
Silly? Yes. Fun though? Abso-bloomin-lutely! Great vid and obviously a cracking little rig!
Took that truck up 10 levels,awesome!
Ebrace the 24 josh! I personally am enjoying the little bit of content here (see what I did there? lol)
Love the 1/24 scale especially as it gets colder outside. They are alot of fun. Glad you getting into them
“Did very well super simple set up”😂😂😂love the video!! Bring back the scale minis in some next videos
Are you possibly going to be selling the chassis setup. Looks simple but clean.
Have a couple of 1:24 trucks which are fun but those 2 trucks are fantastic. Oh ya... great driving. 🤣
So the next product from Vanquish is a 1/24th... Seriously, it looks like you had fun. I would like to know if we could do a MOA setup in that scale. It would be interesting.
Ive been hounding him lol
Looks like the red truck performs fantastically. Nice to see you really get into the 1/24 stuff.
Get some Meus iso-kinetic axles, they’ve got an amazing amount of steering, and great down low weight. Also +5 each side.
I like the way you have built the 1/24 rigs.
Love the content Josh! My wife and girls got me a scx24 deadbolt, proline trepador tires on their beadlocks and a lgrp body for Christmas. Love it! Been watching you and Matt for the past 6 months and I’m hooked on the scale side of things. Great work👍🤙
More 1/24 please, I'm a fan of this scale as its more a convenient size to use at home. 👍🏴
That recovery around the 14:42ish mark was rad! Gonna have to dust off the Betty & update it a bit.
You got me into it with the green machine. I actually ended up building MEUS plastic caged ripper for my first Comp style scx24. It’s great when you get inspired to build from your vids!!
Awesome build!!! More 1/24th content please.
Cheers from Le Mans, France
There's several guys coming out with the little Escape 32 my buddy big kid tiny trucks has his out and I believe it comes with a 7.4 or a 8.4 Bec and sodas dinky RC which is a very small system depending on the KV whether it has a bigger jump from slow startup
Nice having you josh. Nice driving. I admire the amount of designs and you crammed in to these little things
Great time! Looking forward to more!
@@HarleyDesignsInc 13th
I never thought I’d see the day… welcome to the 24 scale dark side my friend 😂
I want one of these!! So cool man
Loving your "overdesigned" build like always, even better when it's functional
I enjoy the small trucks. Keep up the cool builds.
The Scientist at work! Love it & keep it up.
Vanquish needs to produce a 1/24th comp rig. You already have some of the work put in! Ha
That was awesome I've been thinking about trying to make my own links for 1/10 for a minute I would love a little benchtop lathe!!!
That chassis is sweet!
How do you like the tires? I have the same on my decked out 4ws micro and they are exceptional as far as I can tell.
As far as I can tell, they seem to do fantastic.
I’m gonna suggest the name: RabbitHole for this truck. You always do great work. Enjoy the 24s.
Nice win! Couple of nice saves in there. Good driving all around. So, you have enough tooling to build cams for bending nice arced links for high clearance. Personally, I've been using a brake line bender. 2mm all-thread with 2 mm I.D. stainless tubing. I cut off enough at the ends with an Imp tubing cutter after the bends are done and thread on my ends. Slick AF. But, a guy like you with the resources you have, seems like maybe there's a sweet product line in the future that would have some higher end stuff for the 24 scale market. Maybe? Happy New Year to you and yours and thanks for all the laughs on Live Stream.
I do prefer solid material links compared to sleeved links but the bending process isn’t much different. For such small diameter links, if I was looking for a radius to be bent to, I’d like just 3d print some dies to work. Or I’d use the BAC industries mighty rod bender which comes with many different radius options. I use it for cage fabrication as well when using solid material.
On my class 2 I paired a injora +4 with a stock rear and the offset allows the rear to neck by cones nicely
Because of my wheel design having the lowest offset possible, my rear is also about as wide as a stock truck.
@HarleyDesignsInc I also swapped to the dinky escape32 comes with a bec built in I'll never buy another furitek esc it's so much smoother and for my class 3 I just added an extra one of dinky's tiny bec to the rear servo so I didn't over power the one with my reefs 179
@@FiveFourRacing I’ll look into that ESC option.
Great work! Have you tried the Hard Park DWS transmission?
great video, as always actually. great that you have finally found joy in the small cars. as always great work. I would be very interested in the files for the chassis. The links shouldn't be a problem as they can either be printed or built, as we already do this ourselves for the 1/10, it should also work in small. I have been looking for a really compact and well balanced 1/24 performance car for a long time. So if you put the files online or sell them, that would be a dream.
Nice driving! Rigs look good. Wish we had some 24th comps locally.
If you’ve got a group of people around you, setting up a comp is pretty easy! I highly recommend it!
@@HarleyDesignsInc I have put on some 10th scale comps but haven't seen a whole lot of 24th interest around here. Seeing comps like this makes me want to just make one happen and see if anyone shows up though!
I love the 24 content, its been 3years strong of me building a new winter 24! This year i did a carbon buggy and trying out the nylon portals. All of my rigs are swaped to the 050 motors and emax servos but i haven't had a real call for an aftermarket esc in them. How has the furitek one been for you?
What's up red axle guy, just kidding. Ive have also been sucked into the mini crawler world, I guess all crawling is awesome. Happy new year brother
Small tires. Big budget 😂
Thanks for the coverage of your 1/24th stuff. Could there be a list of parts?
i1/24 scale is so much fun! should check out the Meus axles.
I’ve definitely seen them. I may try them even though I’m not a fan of the company. These axles have wild steering already, making use of more angle would get tricky but is possible.
I would run the mofo x15 axles before the meus axles. Trx4 internals with scx24 servo mount /worm drives.
I really like Meus stuff. Much better prices and good quality. I can definitely recommend the trx4m Meus axles.
@@zman914 I’ll look into those. As long as they have a high steering angle I’m interested.
Some nasty lines for 24🤙🏽
I usually despise 1/24 videos but enjoying yours. Not sure if it's comps or your build video style. Still like 1/10 better 😅
The MEUS Racing Isokinetic axles (52 degree steering angle) would be amazing on this build
These axles get a very similar steering angle when you build your own tie rod. I’m already maxing my steering angle currently. If I want more, I’ll have to stand up the shocks or move them inward more.I like that these axles have better clearance as the center section is smaller.
Loving the 1/24 content
As far as testing Tire wise I have found that I'm just going to keep it real man J Concepts tires when it comes to the smaller stuff is really good I'm just going to keep it real also hobby sold just dropped the all-terrain 64 that is really really good
3Flow9RC skid would work great with your steering setup. Stick with furitek for tunability. Lizard pro with AR52-A2 receiver will weigh about the same as the python pro. Glad to hear your fully 1/24 addicted 😮😂
are those axle putty hangers available?
You can build your own am32 esc with internal bec. I am also playing with BLheli_32 esc’s, it’s basically the same with different firmware. What I like about BLheli_32 is that I can use an android phone to change settings, but with the am32 the slow crowl it’s smoother but you need a computer for settings. My next step is Escape32 with DiGiYes ESP32 S2 Mini board for Wi-Fi settings. All those projects are open source.
The open source world is pretty amazing. I definitely prefer AM32 over BLheli but I don’t have any experience with the Escape32 you mentioned.
Question is where to find decent motors😎
@@themountain59 well motors right now the best one out there it’s the CEDAR from Furitek, as a matter of fact, motors you can’t wrong with Furitek. Also the MoFo Bam & nanoBam are pretty good as well. Over 50 builds and only one motor went bad, and it was because the esc. But my go to motor is CEDAR, I have like 15 of them without a problem.
@@HarleyDesignsInc look into it, I have all the hardware to reflash an am32 to Escape_32 but I have to read the little bit more into it. It’s not that easy. Dinky RC have a 25a with Escape_32 and it works really good, is the only one I know out there.
What radio do you use for rear steer, and do u like it?
Great job!! Would you ever do a 24th scale buggy for comping?
That delta RC in Antioch CA?
That’s correct.
@@HarleyDesignsInc ok cool I was raised in Brentwood I only raced at delta one time oval was my thing back in the day and when I raced delta didn’t have a oval but there was a indoor track in Oakley forget the name of the shop
So now w/ a few 1/24 comps under your belt, what are your opinions of the man made courses(plastercloth, concrete, ect)?
Natural is always my preference, but if man-made allows for more comps, then I fully support that.
I built a couple from plaster cloth. Made some killer hard lines. But it has less traction even with textured paint.
Should give the Littleguyracingparts MR24 tranns a try. Along with their comp frame. Think the wheel base is perfect.
I really like his axles, but the trans still has the motor too high for me.
"Small doesn't have to mean cheap..." Things Nicole says about Josh for a thousand Alex....
More More More 24 for life
The gate width is huge. Super 8s with wide wheels wouldn't clear our gates.
Most definitely the case for us too at our local spot. My overall width with the Super 8’s and these OGRC axles are both about the same as a stock AX24 because of my custom wheels.
@@HarleyDesignsInc trucks do the look great
You really ran that sucker in “primer gray”😂. I wonder what Matt is more disgusted at. You continuing your path down the 24th scale dark side or competing without painting the body 😂😂😂
Brilliant content as always my friend.
I shouldn’t have slept in that day, I could have painted it before I left 😂
Vanquish needs to make a 1/16 vrd. Or even a stance 1/16 partnered with Furitek
Josh what mini lathe are you using, or what mini lathe would you recommend ?
Thanks
I’ve had this one for 15 years or so and don’t know the brand but it’s a 7x14 lathe. You can find lots of options that look just like it for about $499.
Not everyone has crawling environments and these guys are also proportionately cheaper , I said the same thing about rcs in general most of youth didn’t plan on getting into rc heavily till I was old , but there’s no where to do anything off-road or Motorsports in my state
If I've noticed anything somebody that's going to make some top quality Parks like this there's a reason and I do not believe just because you want to go to a competition or drive scx24 I believe there's something coming down the pipeline
Thanks for the content👍
Can you tell me more about those rod ends?
They are from Amazon, I searched M2 rod end SCX24. They have bent and straight options. The pivot ball is only 4mm wide instead of 5mm though so it has slop in the pockets unless you shim them.
@@HarleyDesignsInc Good lookin out, I had a look and saw you can a bunch of the correct pivot balls separately too.
What tires are those that you ran on the new truck?
OGRC pins.
Soo, what is the wheelbase on the red devil??
I thought the clear body looked cool. You could have started a new trend. Who needs that paint weight up high. Love your new innovations
I may try to design my own body, leaving it clear sounds most reasonable to me 😁
Yea let Matt paint and have a year of no lexan, and you have a year of no painting 😅
They do look cool when you take the wrapper off and you can see the working machinery, in this case even better a truck you built and outrunner motor , I definitely 💯 leave it clear , just add some scale racing stickers
What lathe do you recommend for 24 and 1/10 links? Smaller and not expensive, if possible. Thx
Just search for mini lathes on Amazon, just make sure it’s for metal and not wood. This one is 7x14 but they make smaller ones. Harbor freight also has them.
@@HarleyDesignsInc what brand is yours?
@@richardparkiii8355 I actually don’t recall. I’ve had it for so long, and I got it used. But it looks just like many of the Chinese lathes sold today.
Would Josh compete in a box-stock class? What if it was the only comp class offered?
I probably would, but definitely wouldn’t be as much fun for me. The design and engineering is my favorite part.
Great video! Will the files be available for purchase?
Possibly I suppose. The links would be pretty difficult to make it work on your own though.
@@HarleyDesignsInc That would be the toughest. I would try and piece that together with what’s left. The frame, battery holder,body mount, skid and tungsten weight holder would run a premium before race wars. 😂. F&F.
2nd comp looked like it had some ridiculous gates for 1/24. Did anybody make those hard gates?
There were a few gates that almost everyone hit. On the second run I ran a clean course except the last gate. But there were a lot of people that pointed out (50 pts) before they finished.
Considered trx4m or fcx24 axles (stock or aftermarket)? If so, what was the reason for not using them?
They’re just too big and clearances are so much less for these comps. Those trucks run in these comps on the same courses and just can’t fit through them.
Very nice builds of an scx24. But for me they are kinda 1/18 scale allready...what do you think about that ?
Of for sure, the scale number that is applied means so little. However if you compare it to the size of a TRX4M, it’s still much smaller.
Please do more 1/24 stuff!
What is that mini lathe. I want one
It’s a 7x14, I don’t recall the brand but there are a million of them just like. I’ve had this one for 15 years or so.
You need to comp with Tony in MI.
Little crawlers should be no bigger than a deck of cards.
1/24 hard body build ?
Unless it was for a competition class, I don’t think so. I’m only into these for the competition 😁
Your the skunkworks of the rc world 🌎 ✨️ 😮😊
Howard it go with the liquid mask
I peeled it all off 😁
@@HarleyDesignsInc cmon I needed some feedback man!! lol! Just got my first air brush kit recently. And BTW I really love the purple wheels I got in TOF, but when I went to put em together today I was really disgruntled……why on earth would they put stainless hardware and not black!!! Geeesh man I’m a pollock and can figure that out!! 🤔🤨😂 Have a great new years sir. I know ima get backlash but you do deserve it.
Power Hobby Trail Warriors I'm waiting on the little guy racing parts their new Black Label I wasn't able to get the other ones the LG G3
Good times. 😂
soooo when can we except 1/24 1/18 parts lol
👍🏾💯
I was there
At Delta or R&H? Both were great!
i like this
See you happy is better than the money so very cool man and your way of thinking I love man like the way you think about a rig is amazing but you need to check out a couple of my buddies man profit designs Echo and drive time RC Sarco
I think mofo has nice driveshafts u can buy singles
Possibly mofo for the driveshafts.
Imo These trucks are definitely silly!! And the fact people spend so much money on them is also silly!😂 And imo it's helped ruin the market because now all the 1/10 have gone up because they realized they could charge x amount for 1/24 little guy meaning its reasonable to charge x amount for the 1/10. Maybe when I'm 95 and can't physically go somewhere to crawl, I would consider buying one, but not until then😂
Sorry but that is just silly 😝
You lost me at "I'm"...
