1/24 Scale Axial SCX24 | 7 Best Upgrades and Mods!

[@FlashyPhotovideo]

Hello sir. Great job explaining the “why” to the parts. Very nicely done. I am getting my scx24 this week and your channel is perfect. Thanks.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad I could help! And congrats on the SCX24!

[@johndavid5627]

i got some lead from the tire shop. Flatten it out stacked it and attached it to the servo.works pretty good

[@BigSungHobbies]

Cheap way to add weight. It works well.

[@johndavid5627]

@@BigSungHobbies just ordered one ..i also filled my shocks with grease.i just climbed a section not previously done before ..amazing little upgrades that work 100%

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad to hear.

Huge difference im going to try and do the esc/battery swap next

[@BigSungHobbies]

You definitely should.

Exelent tune axi24, great job my friend!)🤩💥💯👍👏

Thank you

Great video! Thanks. Just starting out, so very helpful. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. I was surprised you didn't include #8: High clearance links. They can also be on the free mod list as you can bend the stock ones with careful heating. :D

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad to hear that the info helped out. I was trying to narrow down to 7, and also quite few folks just 3d print the high clearance links including myself.

[@wingnutbert9685]

@@BigSungHobbies My percentage of grey hair would have me hand make stuff! LOL! 3D printing is over my head and I enjoy the hand fabricating myself. :) But I also have a shop full of tools and years of experience, which helps. :D I'm looking forward to mucking around with mod's on my DB. Thanks!

[@BigSungHobbies]

That’s awesome. We all use the tools that are available, and that’s the beauty of this hobby!

[@illusion347]

Hey BigSung, love your videos!! Any plan to film a barrage motor install tutorial and review? Your tutorial are always top notch and easy to follow! Keep up the good work.

[@BigSungHobbies]

I have one from the very beginning when I got my SCX24 C10 back in June 2020, but the stock motor is still going on strong for me. I am kind of curious how long the stock motor will last.

[@illusion347]

@@BigSungHobbies nice, did you do any mods to keep it from overheating with the additional weight of the mods? Mine seems to get very hot after a few minutes, still working good though.

[@BigSungHobbies]

@@illusion347 My rig is sitting around 265g right now which is 35g over stock. I have not done any mods to my motor. Removing the sticker might help, but I haven't done that on mine either. Don't use full throttle, and make sure to run at Med on most cases unless you need the additional power from High.

[@illusion347]

@@BigSungHobbies thanks for the advice!

[@jesseh82626w]

I've got some solid brass injora wheels that are 48g per and I've got some swampers that work decent for crawling

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thanks for the info.

[@GeezerGramps]

I got my Deadbolt to 61/39 by using a 300 mah 2s battery that is strapped to the body mount. I also have steel RC4WD wheels

[@BigSungHobbies]

Nice weight distribution. Should climb like a goat.

[@tonylai77]

Awesome upgrades. Can you show what motor you upgrade. Thank you.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thanks for checking out my video! As for motor, I have not yet upgraded it, although, I have purchased a new barrage motor for it. I will be upgrading it at some point in the future so that I can do a comparison of the stock motor vs barrage motor.

[@jpyt7182]

I agree with the carbon fiber chassis. I would like to see someone do it to a completely stock c10 or at most wheel and tire upgraded. Before and after comparison. I mostly just want to see if the lighter chassis would solve the tire rubbing issue so many people have (Including myself). I think it would since there would be less weight pushing down on the shocks...

[@BigSungHobbies]

Although its not C10, I am noticing that I am dealing with higher CG issues with Betty.

[@jpyt7182]

I tried pretty hard to get a Betty. It's a pretty cool truck. There was just no way in h*l* I was going to spend $250+ for her. I like the look of the c10 more than the jeep and deadbolt. I wish my cf chassis would just hurry up already! I ordered it on the 18th. I think I'm going to have to file down some places on the emax servo so it stops catching on the bumber area above it.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy what people are asking for Betty. Personally, I think C10 is the best option out there especially with CF chassis.

[@jpyt7182]

@@BigSungHobbies yeah it's pretty nice. Though the one I ordered they show betty

[@CroakerOutdoors]

Are these mods in order of what you would recommend to do, first with #1? Thanks! I've only had mine for two weeks so I am enjoying it stock. Really eyeing the furitek brushless combo for that slowwww crawl.

[@BigSungHobbies]

#1 servo upgrade can wait. But I would do #2, 3, 4 first in that order, and then maybe do servo upgrade after that. Furitek brushless combo looks good.

[@CroakerOutdoors]

@@BigSungHobbies Oops! I re-watched and caught the part where you said it is not a prioritized list. Thank you for your recommendation, I appreciate your expertise.

[@BigSungHobbies]

@@CroakerOutdoors All good. Glad that I can be of help. Tires and Wheels make a huge improvement, so does weight distribution. The stock servo is pretty weak, so a good one will definitely help too.

[@Hi_Doctor_Nick]

@@CroakerOutdoors I've had my c10 a week. 1st use, the body rubs like hell. I didn't want to lift the body as I like the way it sits. So I used a dremel and sanded the wheel arches. Even on max articulation / steering I get zero rub now. I also noticed the steering servo is very weak. So I've already ordered a new one. A EMAX one as they seem to work and it's a good price. There does seem to be alot of fake ones on the market like ebay, So be careful. Also ordered the furitek motor combo. Like you said, the control looks insane. But it's not cheap. To try and offset the weight from the larger motor I've got brass knuckles, hex hubs and diff covers. Don't know if I'll use them all yet. And new beadlock wheels & tyres.

[@CroakerOutdoors]

@@Hi_Doctor_Nick Appreciate your insight! Been running a C10 and Deadbolt (red) stock inside so I haven't needed to upgrade yet.

[@AppieBing]

Would these upgrades work for the deadbolt too? Including the gspeed chassis?

[@BigSungHobbies]

Definitely. The TGH chassis originally designed for Deadbolt.

[@AppieBing]

@@BigSungHobbies love your videos , i have build my last gspeed element 1/10 following your video on it..... probably will be doing the same with my scx24 deadbolt....... would you suggest building the deadbolt after the c10 videos or the betty videos?

[@BigSungHobbies]

@appie Either one will work. The C10 videos have a bit more details and how to install, while the Betty video has the benefit of experience on C10, and so is a bit more on the actual order of the upgrades & mods that I would recommend.

[@J1m03]

How do I switch the battery place?

[@BigSungHobbies]

I have few videos on it especially on the SCX24 playlist, but All About Battery video should be a good video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6unmH2alpiYntE

[@TheLilhulk1111]

3d printed wheels are garbage

[@BigSungHobbies]

In most cases, but I have been quite happy with MT Hobbies 3d printed wheels. They are still going strong. Here's a review that I did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH-sgWqKqtBlj7s
