Wow, what an AMAZING place to crawl those little guys!
Yeah the lil guys and the scx24 crawlers r awesome 😆
Could you do a build video of this rig? It's amazing and I want to build one :)
Thanks for all your videos!
You rock man. Can you do a review of aftermarket shocks? Than you.
Yes I just got the pit bull Kroniks
@@BGnation573 70mm shocks?
On a scx24?
Mrs. Rabbit I just realized that this was for a scx24. I thought it was for 10th scale my bad thank you
I have two jeeps with 3in1 fpv camera at 200awm power. Placing the camera right at the window this little cars feels like driving the real thing and the image very clear and not shaky because the the shocks. When you try fpv with this little rcs you never want to play without a goggles anymore. Try it!
Thanks for sharing
@@RCReviewChannel You Are Welcome! For those that want to try, here is what I used and how to mod FPV:
What you need for the Crawler Great FPV setup with clear image:
1. $16.99 Wolfwhoop WT02 600TVL Ultra Micro AIO Camera and 200mW
2. $80 Eachine EV800D 5.8G 40CH Diversity FPV Goggles (If your vision sucks, you can buy spacers for Nearsighted vision).
3. $2 DC 4.5-24V 12V 24V Step Down to 5V Buck Converter
4. $8 Tattu 7.4volts 800mAh lipo battery
5. $1.49 AMASS XT30U Anti-slip Power Connector Plug Male and Female One Pair Black
Step 1: One the Crawler, Cut OFF the Plug of the cable that the battery goes to. There is where you are going to replace with the Female XT30 plug.
Step 2: When soldering the Female XT30 plug, make sure you have two extra cables (One Positive RED and One Negative Black) coming out of the female plug so it goes to the Step Down Converter. So, you can power the VTX camera from the battery. Got it?
Step 3: I am assuming you have some basics of soldering and heat shrinks tubes to protect the negative an positive cable. Change the battery plug to the XT30 male plug. Always do the negative first whe soldering. I recommend silicon cable with 20AWG cable that goes from the Female XT30 to the Down Converter and from the Down Converter to the VTX.
Step 4: After you have replace the Plugs, you need to change the power that is coming out of the DownCoverter to 5 volts by turning the little nub on the Buck Converter. Use a Power Meter for that. Make sure that the power that goes to the camera is vtx is 5 volts. The 7.4 volts goes to the crawler.
Step 5: After you test that the crawler has power and the vtx/camera. Place the VTX right in the hood touching the window. So when you look in the googles (EV800D) You will see on the google like what you see on a real car. Placing the VTX on the right location is important to give the real feeling of driving a real car. I use PlasticWeld Epoxy Putty to hold the camera in place. Make sure when you are placing the camera on the car with Epoxy, power the camera and make any adjustment so the view on the google is right. Then power OFF and wait few hours before enjoying driving this amazing little crawler.
Is there a kit or tutorial for the scx24 magnetic body mount mod?
what does he mean by "marine grease inserts"?
I think it meant that he put a little bit of marine grease in the shocks to stiffen them up. I’m not 100% sure but that’s my guess
These things are so fricking cool. Love them so much. Can't wait to enter the hobby with this truck😁😁😁
hey bro, 2 months later. did you get one?
@@egoravdeev670 one week later i did and its alot of fun
@@gaveny725 glad to hear that. im having a lot of fun with mine too
Okay out of all the awesome upgrades, I'm more curious about the magnet mounts! 😂 It looks so much cleaner to what I'm planning on doing. Can you share where you got them?
Probably just glued on fridge magnets, that's what I did. 6x2mm
Irks me so hard I can't find anywhere like this to crawl in Utah unless I want to drive for hours haha.
👍 nice video thanks
Nice to see someone else jumping on the scx24 wagon! Love these little things. They are so much fun to mod and customize. I have the enduro 24 on the way even though I know it’s a rebranded RGT I had to get it to review. I really feel like they could’ve made some moves if they had designed a completely new 1/24 and gave axial some competition.
It's sad to see Element simply placating the market, instead of actually progressing their lineup, and instead of actually giving us more options.
IMO the Enduro 24 is not a new option.
I wouldnt buy it, and probably the best reason, is to not reward knockoff cloning behavior.
I so so so want another NEW micro on the scene...
The Enduro 24 is not it.
Reaching out to try connect next time you're in this area! I live about 30mins south of here on the coast and would love to crawl with you guys. The scx24 has been so fun I picked up an scx10ii to try the bigger scale out. Great video, hope to see this crew in person at some point!
Just made my first little edit with my scx24 ...feel free to check it out, more to come!
What's the price tag for all the mods on the truck and how about the total weight stock vs your mod??
These little guys look fun, come winter my son and i will definitely get a pair.
Nice ride with the Axial and great upgrades :)
I have that axial scx 10 lll jeep you where going too show us how to fine tone the esc for better performance . Looking forward to seeing that asap. Thanks Art
How you liking it? I had 2 scx10II and a gen8 and trx4 sport but I had to sell them all to pay rent through a tough time, now I'm back working and looking to get a new crawler.
Lower sa cg? Lol I’m hearing a bit of Tagalog there
Gute Upgrades
Danke für das Video und beste Grüße von einem Deutschen RC Yter
Just got into rc. Thanks for your vidéos. I'm in nor cal. Any get togethers. Family friendly? I have 4 scx 24 and simi scale scx 10. Like join to join à group. Lol
Yeah, join San Jose RC Crawlers on Facebook if you live in the area.
The tiny ones in a big big screen! Great video, thanks!
What state beach was this at looks like half moon bay?
What a cool crawling spot.
soooo basically a new truck......cool
I have a jeep that I have been modding for rock crawling and a c10 that I am keeping as a fairly basic trail truck
i am modding my c10 for crawling. the body is a big disatvantage. i might have to do the hot racing rock racer chassis conversion.
3D Printed Transmission for brushless 130 motor lelelel thats what I did with mine (2S Lipo) and replaced all of the parts with Hot Racing like a total dumb ass. I love it a lot. I'll be posting a video about it soon.
What type of battery does the car take
whata playground 👍
I keep seeing that Mountain Graphic on Crawlers, where is it from. Thx......................I want to incorporate it into the livery on my Capra
do they have any 24s that work out of the box ?
All of them do...
I'm torn between the scx24 and the Enduro24. I'm only waiting for you to post up a review to help me make my decision.
gripking131313 I think the axial is better
The Enduro 24 is essentially a recycled rgt or barrage.
Having experience with both, and seeing very little changes made, i can say almost 100%... NO.
It will not perform better, and even if you mod it and upgrade it, there are some features that are not ever going to be better, unless replaced...
Eg. The ridiculously large pumpkins.
As one example given.
If you're on the fence, you can ask people on any forum, they will tell you the same thing.
No need to wait for the review.
Encourage progress on the micro market by not supporting silly clone/knockoffs.
The axial is better
Wow I was honestly hoping associated would of brought out a micro version of the Enduro. I'll take your guys word on it and buy a pair of scx24's tomorrow afternoon. Thanks guys for the advise 👍
@@MrsRabbit8 Agreed, I'm a bit of an old school associated fanboy, and have 4 enduros. But the second I saw the enduro24 was a rebadged rgt v2, I just bought one with the defender body from them (RGT) instead. It's IMO a better looking body anyway. I think they focused too hard on trying to beat the SCX24s price point by 10-20$ as opposed to delivering a as good or better product like they did with the Enduro chassis concept for the same price.
How much money was put into modding the SCX 24??
$200
Could you please provide a reference for the motor?
@@derrickwilliams2903 Noted
Thank you!
Do you have a how to on reversing the ESC and battery tray? My son just got one of these for Christmas and I'm looking for cheap mods to get it performing better and that seems like a great start
Love to know more about the esc battery tray swap, that makes so much sense, plus I have halo lights for gladiator I'm trying to figure out how to run wires, with out extending wires.
Most EPIC videography I've seen with the SCX24!
Is the truck or jeep better? I can't tell. I'm talking stock because clearly the truck is better here, but it's also upgraded.
My scx24 upgrades are 2 x 6 g fishing weights glued at the front axle (one per each side) and one at the back axle in the middle. Then I also changed the tires (ones that you recommended earlier) but those are not that soft than what represented here. I even made v-shaped cuts to the foam to make them softer. I was also able to move the front bumper inwards one step. Or was it rear, hmm :) Then I have tried to fill the original shocks with green slime but that does not last long. Have to add more after few rides. Are those shocks represented here any better? On the other side, I haven't had any problems with the stock servo. Original motor had to be replaced once when it blow out after driving 10-15 minutes in very warm (+30 celcius) day.
I bought that stupid emax servo for my scx24 and it burnt out in a month I think I’m going to run a reefs micro servo next its like 5 times the price but whatever got so frustrated with it I bought a trx4 sport and did a lot of scale parts to it and a few brass upgrades and it’s way more enjoyable
What did you say this place was called? I live in California and would like to crawl there
I also have the SCX24 C10 and I have modded mine as well. I pot the diff covers on and I found that when I had the covers off that if I added wheel bearing grease (red grease) to the diffs before putting on the new covers it seems to make it smoother.
Where did you get those tires?????
Was the barrage motor running on 2s lipo? Is it rated for 2s? I read on barrage upgrade to LiPo 2s video that people where burning motors in this setup. I would like to know your experience.
Hell ya! My local crawl spot!!!😎😎
Is this near Monterey? I’m in Big Sur looking for good crawl spots and people to crawl with
My car came with a set of different length suspension links but i can’t find anywhere on how to change them or what length is best? Any help? Thanks
To get the different tires would they fit on the stock rims
wonderful shots and example with the other stock ones following the modded one!
Wow!!! I want one, great ideas on kidding one!!! Hey Fran, which do you think is a better rig over all between the axial and element?
Just picked one up and the first upgrade I'm going to do is magnet mount! I hate those stupid little hitch pins!
My favorite part of the video are the Expedition Overland stickers.
@rcreview Do you think the Kyosho 4runner body would look good on it now with the smaller tires?
Anyone know if the tires will fit in stock rims? Or can you recommend a set of rims that will work?
Those trucks are so cute. I like 1\10 scale trucks. But those look pretty fun.
All that weight on a little truck does that damage the servo or motor? Let me know please.
Francis, you and Neil make an awesome team! You guys are the crawler gurus!
What brass wheel inserts are you using with the rc4wd wheels?
Did you have to modify the servo or aluminium servo mount?
its a shame salt water is such a killer it would be cool to drive through the tide pools
I have rc4wd links on my gen7
Where can we get those magnet mounts for the body?
Nice,
And thanks for the links in the description!
Is a well balanced truck , great job 👍
You got an Instagram for your RC content?
I wish I wasn't the only person who knew that the stock motors in these have those tiny fingers to Armature whereas the Long Can 130's (Barrage motors) have real Brushes and Springs to Armature. They last 20 times longer than the crap stock motors. Much better speed control once fully broken in due to the electronic contact brushes make vs. fingers. The break-in is very very important for full performance from the Barrage motors also.
BTW..... Break-in on a brushed motor simply means the curvature of the Armature matches that of the Brushes. When new the brushes are square and lay flat on the Armature. Over time they wear in. You can break in a motor by connecting leads to power it on and submerged in a cup of water, let it run for about 5 minutes. Apply powder graphite lube to shaft bushings when done and dry. Install.
What are the upgrades for the modded one I wanna know because I'm thinking about building the same one
It's all on the description.
Awesome little trucks. Very cool.
Great video! Are you guys running the black or silver springs on the HR shocks? Can’t wait to see the Enduro24 review. Already got mine and I love it!
Black
I cannot charge my battery. The included charger isn't reliable, and I'm not astute to know how to make an adapter for my other smart chargers. My scx24 has been a paper weight since I got it.
Joshua Smith you should buy S150 AC/DC Smart Charger, 1x50W with an adapter
It was so smooth it cured my ocd😁
Good comparison and clear explanation of upgraded parts. I’m new to the whole rc thing. What tools are necessary to make these changes please?
Basic set of screwdrivers, some smaller Allen keys and a small socket set. Enjoy!
Eyyy! Stay the course member!!!
Just slightly modified.
Lol
when relocating the esc, did you modify the tray to support the new battery location (and body mounts) or did you 3d print one?
Modified tray
What did he do to the front wheels?
Sweet video! What an awesome crawler location! Just ordered the same set of wheels and tires for mine after seeing this video, thanks 🤙🏼
Right on! We are lucky. An hour away at the beach
Did you leave the foam in the tires? I have heard of some folks installing the tires without tire foam.
no foam in the scx24 tires.
What is the strength of that servo?
Nice 👍👍👍👍
Too many adverts!
So are the upgraded tires smaller than the originals?
Actually, they are the same as the scx24 C10 tires. But they are smaller than the scx24 jeep tires.
Great video keep it up 👍
Soo cool mods
onions woah
Did that servo fit without modification? You mentioned it has the aftermarket servo mount but isn't that the same size/specs as original but alloy?
No, its a bigger servo
@@neilmandude I understand that its a bigger servo... ive got savox in mine and was wondering how he went about mounting his and if the new mount was better suited for the bigger servo or he just shoe glued it in and ran with it.
Did he trim the mount's off the servo for clearance?
i don't want to tell you how to produce your videos, but the ocean sounds and the hum of the Crawlers would be so much nicer than that crappy open domain music
I want to hear how they are performing, Tires slipping, grabbing, bouncing, motors and transmissions loading and unloading as they do their thing !
😁👍
the servo was my first upgrade to the emax, probably do the tires next
Don't buy it. Electronics are garbage. Won't be repairing mine, it's now a shelf queen.
Sure you can. But buy a better crawler from the get go.
A trx-4 sport, an axial capra an element enduro. Buy one of these I promise no regrets.
The 1/24th scale is junk my man. Sure it's cool in the house. I've had two batteries the esc and a motor fail in three runs. You do you, but I'm gonna recommend folks don't buy these micro junk products.
I refuse to put any more money into the micro crawlers.
whos watching in 2021?
