Hey buddy appreciate your work on the channel. U have another Redcat Gen7 fan here. Anyways do u have any recommendations for brushed motors? I currently run a Hobbywing QUICRUN 1080 G2 with a CrawlMaster Sport 550(13T). Anyways I was wondering if you recommend any type of motor step up? Thanks in advance

Skewed reflection of a vehicle/motorcycle/ bicycle head light on the cam lens? Possible spiderweb, drifting down, close to the lens, catching light from the house?

well sorted. Shows our insanity building these things. Never-ending. I have no desire to seriously compete because it will cost me more time and money that I am already exceeding my plans. Bought and built a very mild build of an Everest 10 for my 10yr-old nephew. Just finished a build of a Gen 7 sport for my old son's best friend. It now has a bunch of pro parts and other stuff to make it capable, but not a serious rig. About to do a very mild build on a Gen 7 pro for my brother-in-law so he can wheel with fore-mentioned nephew. Technically we don't have a lot of RCs except we kinda do. I am about to embark on a quest to make all the old toy-grade RCs we have from when the boys were growing up into somewhat hobby-grade RCs. Servos, receivers, ESCs, new motorvation, etc. Nothing crazy, but lets explore what more these can do because the only reason we advanced to bigger/better stuff was because we exhausted what those were capable of.

Very cool video, very well put together and very informative. I'm definitely a beginner, I only started the scene a few weeks ago, I've never actually owned 'axial SCX24' as such, I made my rig from aftermarket parts..... injora 50t pro brushed motor, servo, servo horn, esc, skid plate, stainless high clearance links, king trekker tyres, I used the meus isokinetic axle's and the meus 'ultra 4' style hard body bronco, I used some red spider wheels that I liked the look of and the proline big bore oil filled shocks. I'm wondering if I made a mistake by not actually owning the axial SCX24 to begin with as I don't know if mine is an improved version or not 😳 what are your thoughts on this? Cheers👍

Nice tires man, they look pretty decent even for injora made. If it were me I would of paired em with some brass wheels to help keep em planted and prevent that torque twist. Its unreal what a bit of weight on the lowest widest place and do for the rig. Just did a vid on the C10 with new brass and its night and day when it comes to traction and staying planted. Got an older vid with just the alumium wheels if you want to compare :)
@EXPIOWA3 ай бұрын
The front wheels have brass ring centers. It is a pretty pinned down rig. 😀 It won the only comp I ever entered it in easily. When I do competitions I generally only do 1/10. I don’t think it’s fair for me to enter 1/24 to everyone else. Most people haven’t come close to the testing and development that I have done.

@@EXPIOWA Heck yea man, U seem to win since I stated watching your channel. The brass rings help but really only minimal compared to a whole brass wheel. Some of my wheels with rubber are coming in at 280-345grams depending on the size of tire its with. Glads are 345grams the Kanga Ax24 are around 295 and the C10s are the same ish as the JLU around 280 per set. Nothing like heavy to keep that torque twist at bay and tires planted :) Also, that Kanga Ax24 can hit some angles Ive never seen other rigs get to in this size :)

That rectangle on the bedrack is a solar camp shower, you fill it with water and the black color absorbs the sunlight and gets the water warm, the tank's high mount on the rack uses gravity to flow the water out a hose and through a sprayer head, the hardshell tank style solar showers also typically have a shrader valve fitting on top so you can pressurize the system with a standard air compressor and have decent water flow instead of just a trickle.

That is awesome. I honestly had no clue. It makes sense now. 😀👍 I have moved it inside of the rack to the right side and am using it to store all of the scale points items in case I ever decided to enter it into a comp. I already have a Class 2 rig that I constantly win with but you never know. : ) I can see myself doing it if the terrain was right. Its a bit long for the really rugged terrain with tight turns. For angles and steep climbs it should do great.
