Can you install the dig feature to lock the front wheels instead of the rear to do burnouts super important question for me atleast would love your input or ideas. I know it defeats the purpose what it was intended for but i am a man of specific tase and when i saw that feature it almost immediately sold me.
Just got a kit for $180, just missing the gears and shafts for the axles. Excited to start my first builders kit and glad to see such a detailed video of the assembly! Do you have recommendations for where to get the gears and such for the axles?
Builders beware, there are 5x11 bearings and 5x10 bearing in bag C, and they look very similar. Be very careful you separate them before you build, or you'll be tearing down the transmission to find where you used a 5x10 bearing in place of a 5x11. That sucks.
I like to pack those open bearings on the spool with grease to keep maintenance down. Love the video though! Giving me a good start on when i get the kit!!
So hey, just finished my build, love it, everything is great, but as you advised, I put the firmer shocks up front, the green ones, well the instructions call for the green ones in the rear. My backend is squishy as all heck, what gives?
Great video. My kit is arriving today and I can’t wait to start it. These videos are going to be very helpful. Where can I find the green slime and tools you used to assemble the shocks. Thanks
With my hands it felt slightly catching but watching and listening to other people's scx10iii sounds really Geary! So I thought this was normal until going from reversing to farward the rear axel locked it wasn't the dig as that was turned off. Finally found videos of "axels clicking" and found shimming and it's so much quieter now and smoother. New problems! Have gone through 3 different micro servos and smashed the first plastic gears. Second and thirdly was spectrums own. 9g is to week for dig maybe a full size servo could be squeezed in??
Awesome video! These build series are the best good info. I would love to get this but just picked a SMT10 and the wife won’t let me get another truck for awhile. In the mean time I will just drool 🤤 all over my phone while watching these videos.
What's the finish weight on the transmission minus the motor even though it doesn't matter which brushless motor it's all pretty close in weight. if you had to guess with the motor mounted, I can only imagine which company drops that transmission plus dig kit in metal ouch. Enjoyed watching the build trying not to watch to much just trying to think if the transmission with dig and portal's will allow me to drop the low down weight that I need to prevent that funky float i have at times. I would prefer to hold that weight in battery and center of the lows in the chassis.
Hi matt have just this second finished my first build and being a scx 10 iii had a few problems. My axels are hanging up I think I have found problem is the pinion in the axels moves in and out slightly and when in its to tight of a mesh and binds please sir any ideas would be appreciated. Also love the build you sir have just acquired a new subscriber!
Still on the fence about this truck. Have 3 TRX4s, but this truck sure looks good. I have learned to install those pesky clips in plastic bags to contain any escape attempts. How do I get scale SBG decals for my trucks? Thanks
hello could you please inform me I have a scx10 III in rtr on which I would like to add the 2nd gear I add the moni servo what should i do with the gearbox as a modification thank you in advance good driving
I had to watch this AGAIN! 😉 I'm really hoping that Axial will sell those Portal Axles soon enough. THEN I want to try to piecemeal a UMG-10 together! 😉 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
@@matthewrustia6570 Anything can be made to work with a little creativity! 😉 I've had to patch together Rigs for a few years now, I haven't been able to afford a new Rig in over 7 years...
After losing a c clip, I put the others together inside one of the parts bag. So when it go's flying off ...it's in that bag,not the other side of the room. Maybe this will help someone
Great Video! How are you liking the Dewalt Screwdriver? I just ordered one which should be here this Tuesday. Looks like it works great for my intended purpose.
Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but what kv motor did you go with? I have a Slate 2850 in my 10.2, was thinking lower in my 10.3 to take advantage of the 2 speed?
I dont care for the dig setup however , id love to be able to choose from 4wd to 2wd , but it seems in order to do that you'd have to unfortunatly do a completly different trans .
ok got a few questions, i have a 70mm castle motor will that fit, and the lhs here said that my 19t 48 pitch gear will work, am i going to break things trying to run this,
I hate the red plastic differential cover.The 1st thing I would do is paint that thing black at least. It makes it look like a cheap toy. I don't know why they would do that.
@@scalebuildersguild Actually, I figured it out. The two halves of the axle weren't going far enough into the differential gear, which was preventing me from getting the caps on the portals closed properly. But I figured out the issue and it's together now. I apologize for having bothered you with my comment!
Yeah in contrary to what is said here every single hole is too small. Without a electric tools this does not go together at all because every single hole is too small. Just get an RTR version, saves you a lot of headaches.
@@scalebuildersguild Ow if it was only the torque, i would be so happy. No literally every single hole is too small and has no thread. To get to the torque you need to get the screws in first which is jst simply impossible with power tools. It is honestly one of the WORST kits i have everexperienced.
Hey Matt, great insight on the future RTR version. I need to remove the two speed stopper in my RTR. Wish me luck.
I will be getting my kit in a couple of days. These are incredibly informative. Thank you.
I live vicariously through you till I can pick one up for myself!

Line lock? Cool idea. If you can lock the front, then have the front go to neutral instead of 4wd, this could make a pretty sweet muscle car 8)
No, dig is only designed for the rear.
Awesome Matt, fantastic close up, no messing video.... clean. Looking forward to the rest
Glad you enjoyed it
Great intro to this new build!!! Now I want one!!!
Back showing my support!!!!! Me and my girl watched your 4.5 hour live stream last night and loved it !!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I just bought this kit. Can’t wait to dig in.
Enjoy!
If I didn't already have 2 builds on the table I would seriously look at getting one of these.
Thanks for making it look easy Matt.

Guess I’m gonna need that tool to put the shocks together come mid April. I will be watching all of these videos looking for tips. Thanks brother
Right on
Builders beware, there are 5x11 bearings and 5x10 bearing in bag C, and they look very similar. Be very careful you separate them before you build, or you'll be tearing down the transmission to find where you used a 5x10 bearing in place of a 5x11. That sucks.
My advice Use dial calipers to figure out the diameter
Thanks for the video. Did you happen to see which way that E clip flew off to?
Unfortunately no
I’m always checking back or watching this series as I build my 10.3 thanks a ton Matt. 🤙🏼💯
Glad to help!
How are the scx10.3 institutions? With the capra, they had instructions' issues.
Thanks!!!
The senior product developer and I went over them a number of times, they should be good!
Everything looks super high quality in terms of plastics and gears.
I try not to make innuendos, but it's hard, so hard.... Looking forward to the next episode!

You’re welcome to try it the other way, or get another set of the firm ones!
Can't wait to build that thing! Amazing video and voice over! GJ !
Thanks!
I really like the new AR45 axle, an transmission too!
Nice video like always!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. My kit is arriving today and I can’t wait to start it. These videos are going to be very helpful. Where can I find the green slime and tools you used to assemble the shocks. Thanks
Both are from Team Associated.
Hey whats up my rc brother 👍🏻 can i please get a link to the tools you used to do your shocks and links?

Sounds like your end points could use some finessing!
@@scalebuildersguild time for a new transmitter me thinks! Absima cr6s was good for a cheep starter radio. But adjusting end points on that was a pig!

Glad you like them!
Can I put the same overdrive ring and pinion from a scx10II?
Got mine on pre-order, so will be watching with great interest, as it'll be my first kit. 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
Fantastic! I love building gearboxes, it is good to see so many gears and parts for this. I want to get the truck just to build the gearbox
Go for it!

Is possíble to have an intermediate position of the dig unit that alows the rear wheels to spin freely?
It is, but you'll need fine adjustment to make it work.
Where do you get the rod end tool

Also love the build you sir have just acquired a new subscriber!
I didn't need to shim mine, they usually don't require it. Are you trying to spin the axles under power or just move them with your hands?
how big in size can the micro servos be? specially the one for the 2 speed?
Question about rc shocks. Why do we adjust shock damping by changing out the oil instead of changing the valving like in 1:1?
You can do both, depending on the shock setup. Assuming other pistons with different hole patterns are available.
Still on the fence about this truck. Have 3 TRX4s, but this truck sure looks good.
I have learned to install those pesky clips in plastic bags to contain any escape attempts.
How do I get scale SBG decals for my trucks?
Thanks
As soon as I have new ones in stock, I'll put it out there so people know.
What brushed motor a 450 how many t do u recamend
So will this portal axle axial need a reverse rotation motor like the trx4? Will this also accept a 550 motor?
Regular motor, yes a 550 will fit with some mild possible trimming.
That is lookin like a rearly grate kit build I mite take the blung n get my self 1 keep up the good work m8 👍👍👍👍

PoorManRC won’t fit cause the scx10.3 has a different geometry
@@matthewrustia6570 Anything can be made to work with a little creativity! 😉
I've had to patch together Rigs for a few years now, I haven't been able to afford a new Rig in over 7 years...
I have a brushless 540 1800kv will that be enough
Would the 1.7 transfer case be slower, or faster? Would it be unusable with the portals?
It’s taking the reduction that is in the portal and putting it in the t-case. I wouldn’t do it without a straight axle.
ditto about the Capra shock, actually pretty happy with them and only swapping out for cool factor of piggybacks.
After losing a c clip, I put the others together inside one of the parts bag. So when it go's flying off ...it's in that bag,not the other side of the room. Maybe this will help someone
Thanks for the build video. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. :)
Matt: “No one wants to see me drilling and screwing here”
Insert Steve Carell joke here
Great Video! How are you liking the Dewalt Screwdriver? I just ordered one which should be here this Tuesday. Looks like it works great for my intended purpose.
It’s fantastic!
Thank you Matt!! I was looking forward to this!
This is as close as I'll get to a SCX10 III... And I'm going to ENJOY this build!! 👍👍
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Great job! Can't wait to get my hands on this kit.
Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but what kv motor did you go with? I have a Slate 2850 in my 10.2, was thinking lower in my 10.3 to take advantage of the 2 speed?
I’m running 2850 in this.
Can you add a link to that rod end tool please?

Hey Matt. I don’t have a 3d printer but could u send a link to me for the knight customs fenders. Thanks
There's no fenders in this video, so can you be more specific? Thanks!
ok got a few questions, i have a 70mm castle motor will that fit, and the lhs here said that my 19t 48 pitch gear will work, am i going to break things trying to run this,
48p will NOT work. The drivetrain is 32p
Ok I see how it is setup after finding the right video. Maybe in the future we will see it setup with 2wd 4wd instead of dig.
Will a 1800kv work for power
It should. It’s a little low but should be fine.
Axial Yeti II. I can only dream
does it come with a pinion or do you have to get one separately
Comes with.
At 16:23 he mentions which pinion is used, 14 tooth included!
Hey Matt, great video!!! quick question, with the v8 motor cover, will there be room for a 550 size motor??
Yes, some trimming might be required.
Enjoyed, thanks! Scale nationals rescheduled?
I believe so, for November.
I hate the red plastic differential cover.The 1st thing I would do is paint that thing black at least. It makes it look like a cheap toy. I don't know why they would do that.
I see Capo like motor/trans mount there
Awesome...✊🏿!
Hey Matt, are you going to do an electronics set up Vid?😉😘😉 Thanx!
If it's part of the instructions, I cover it in this series.
I cant get an answere I want to no if 1800kv will or will not be enough
Wow those portal housings look thin....idk if that matters just wow
Thin? Where?
@@scalebuildersguild just the wall thickness of the inner and outer housing seems thin. No idea if that would matter it just looked thin is all.
Green slime link?
I don't have a link but I know it's a Team Associated Factory Team product..
Cheers 👍

Wednesday!
12:24 - they should sell a RTR that has everything unlocked! It would be cool to get one of these trucks but this kit is way out of my skill level
It won’t be locked out ...he’s just guessing
my wife doesn't like your channel because it takes away from her allowance.
hahaha😂
Man that transmission kinda intimidates me this will be my first build
Great info - thanks
No problem!
You said two for the rear🥴Giggedy! Nah nah, good stuff...good stuff👌🏼😀
Could have informed the people about the (speed lock) and (4WD)that screw is/ was a struggle to tighten up
Speed lock?
The Capra didn't have a spring on the slipper clutch either.
I must have one.
Nice!
Thanks!
Drilling and screwing LOL!
Dude I'm having trouble with my front axle assembly and that's the only part of the video you fast forward through? My luck is the worst
What exactly is the problem? Perhaps I can help.

Hahaha
Blown away that Axial supplies and uses grease!
I'm sure the RTR will will be bone dry just like all of their others.
👍👍👍
Yeah in contrary to what is said here every single hole is too small.
Without a electric tools this does not go together at all because every single hole is too small.
Just get an RTR version, saves you a lot of headaches.
Hand tools will always require more torque. Building a kit is a fun and rewarding experience, and I'll always recommend that first.
