Matt, thank you for the upload. Without a doubt, you are THE scx24 MASTER. Your videos, though not as SMOOTH as a few I will not mention, impart more knowledge than hair product highlights. Brilliant!

Always love watching and seeing new content up close! Thanks for your helpful tips and mods for the scx24/RC community!!

[@DMarko22]

I got into 1/24th scale with the hope that at least here it isn't as much to mod like in the bigger scales...man was I wrong! Great job mate, appreciate the effort to do that on camera.

[@2fmrc]

Haha! When I got my first 1/24 I figured the same. Now I work on something with the 1/24s daily 😆

[@forrestcrabbe]

I agree 100 percent, aligning the driveshafts is the most aggravating thing to do to these little trucks. I'm thinking about goin brushless on mine, or, maybe a 370 can brushed (pretty sure gamyrc has a mount for that). I like the performance of an outrunner but the sound is a deal breaker. Holmes hobbies has some new stuff that is super quiet, like nearly silent, that I may try out. Y'all have a badass day 🤘

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I wish Holmes would hurry up and release some stuff! They keep saying a couple months out. Been hearing that for 6-8 months now 😂

[@kepikiwi]

Love the tutorial. You'll need to drill a hole for the pinion to come out on the 2FM RC mount aswell.

[@SpunkeysModelShop]

I'm new to all this RC stuff, in fact, I haven't bought my first RC crawler yet but was thinking about getting an SCX24 and have seen a lot of upgrades I would l like to do to it when I get one, motor upgrade was one. When I do the motor upgrade do I also need to buy the programmer as well? I know it's probably a dumb question to ask.

[@2fmrc]

It depends on what esc you run with the motor really. It is what is programmable and will need tuned. Check out my last couple videos on the Furitek esc. I would go that route if upgrading. Then you just need to use the app on your phone to tune the esc!

[@rhm9178]

🖐️🤠 greetings 2FM RC Another brilliant share 👍 Thank you 🤝 from 🇬🇧 We have to cry & laugh 😂 because this video became available a week too late for us personally. When we did our brushless install the re-aligning of the drive shafts, like you said, kept falling apart as we lifted the frame to either make adjustments or to bolt things down. 🙃 We came up with a method to avoid this in future, but as you, we too had to experiment & figuring things out, eventually developing a simple method in 'how to do' process. 🤔 Lastly....... we did not use any of the same components you used, as they are not easy to acquire over here; and they take too long to aquire and cost much much more in the end; door-to-door. OUCH! 😭 In fact....... we're still waiting on some pieces. ✈️🚛 🥾📭 👀 In a nutshell, we went with an AEO micro outrunner that Gamyrc used with his micro motor plate on Shapeways. Downside the ESC that comes with the outrunner is ok, but programed for planes. We are waiting for an EzRun 18A ESC & program card. We'll probably stay with the stock SCX24 AE-6 and it's SCX24 Transmitter. Components are so hard to come by here 🇬🇧 at the moment that we hope to have opportunity to have it finally running this week, but IF NOT....... THEN not till end of March21 😞 Thank you again 2FM RC for this superb video share! Your time & experimenting is well received and Very much appreciated 👍 Keep ROCKIN ON! The 👥 🌎🌍🌏 is 👀 YOU! 🤓 Cheers mate! 🇬🇧

[@2fmrc]

Wow! People are complaining that things are hard to come by here as well. Nowhere near as bad as you have it though. That’s the main reason I’ve been branching out trying to find alternatives for use here because we can’t get the things we always did before. Whatever makes them run I guess. Hope it all works out for ya! I keep thinking parts will pick back up but they just keep getting harder to find lol

Matt, Have you installed the brushless motor in the Betty? My motor is hitting the frame and not allowing in to spin.

[@2fmrc]

Yes. Mine was very tight as well. It would barely catch the corner of the motor. I just bent the frame rails slightly and it made it clear. Gamyrc tried to update the mount a bit to help but it’s still really tight on the Betty for some reason.

Question. Because I want to try to do this set up on one of my rigs but I can not find the hot racing pinion gear.. the other one that you have on your discerption is that one that you recommend to fit on the surpass motor? Because it seems like they don’t make those 11t pinion gears anymore unless there just all out everywhere. Or I found another one it’s a 0.5m 0.5mod 3mm 12t brass motor pinion. It says it’s a tight fit but I’m wondering if that will fit on a surpass motor. I’m sorry I’m still all new to allll of this. Your videos are the ones I watch the most. So I thank you a lot but yeah I just need some help trying to locate a pinion gear or witch one would u recommend to use on the surpass motor ?

[@2fmrc]

Hey! I appreciate you watching and the comment. That brass pinion should work. I just put the same one (I believe) on my latest build. It’s tight but it works great! Those hot racing gears are hard to come by now. Furitek actually has a full brushless conversion setup that will be shipping soon hopefully (supposed to ship June 26 last I heard) and that will probably be the best bet once they are readily available just because it’s so simple to get everything in one spot!

But yeah Right I saw that one too by furitek Vary interested in that one too but i gotta wait till they have that one back in stock. I believe I even pre ordered it. But in the mean time I have a surpass motor i wanna try out I just don’t have that pinion gear. I also found another one on eBay a brass 0.5m 0.5mod 3mm 12t but it’s not a 11t like the hot racing but yeah that hot racing. Can not find it anywhere so the 12t brass I just mention that will work as well without damaging the motor or spur gear? I just want to get the right gear and not mess anything up so I had to try to ask you for some help.

Hi I love your channel, I have the stock ESC and I have the Barrage Motor with it, what ESC do you recommend if I wanna use the Flysky GT5 receiver with the Barrage motor? also, I know I saw that you like running the FOC 2 in 1 combo Hobbywing and I have the AXE system, does this brushless setup on the scx24 have the same feel as the FOC on the Hobbywing FOC? that smooth consistent torque. thank you

[@2fmrc]

This hobbywing isn’t near as smooth as the fusion or axe. The castle micro sidewinder is the only small scale esc that I’ve found that is anywhere near those 2 systems. But they are sensored systems as well so it’s hard to beat them. This hobbywing really just kinda gets the job done. It’s not ultra smooth but it’s not bad either. I mainly recommended it because at the moment there isn’t much else to go with. Everything is on back order etc. As far as running the gt5 with the barrage motor I would think you could pair about any decent brushed esc with it and be good. Maybe the hobbywing 1080? It’s a little bigger but will work. I haven’t played around with too many brushed options for the scx24. I did run my castle micro sidewinder with the barrage and it was ultra smooth! Once again though it’s almost impossible to find now lol. It’s just a hard call with everything being unavailable like it is 🤦🏻‍♂️

The stock one won’t work with the pinion that fits this motor. The shaft is larger on this motor and the stock setup won’t work.

Shouldn’t be backwards but you will have to hollow it out a bit for that pinion. When gamyrc first made the mount we were using a different pinion. I found the hot racing pinion which is easier to get (ships from the US) but it does need the mount hollowed out. He recently changed the motor mount again to fit that HR pinion.

[@grassfpv1876]

Thanks for the reply, gamy actually messaged me and explained what to do. I didn't reali3 u guys were using a diff pinion. Thanls for all u do bro!!

Which battery and connector did you use? I saw that I can’t use the stock battery with it so I need to find a battery and a connector for it

I run the stock batteries just with different ends. You’ll just need to change the connector on the esc to run the stock batteries. I haven’t found an adapter that goes from the plug on the esc to the stock scx24 batteries. It’s an odd adapter that apparently no one really sells.

I would recommend the castle link programmer. I believe it will come set up to where you can use it as is but it’s better with a little tuning. You will have to solder on some battery connectors to the castle. It just comes straight wires.

@@2fmrc I'll get the programmer. I am still trying to understand all of my adjustments to be made. Just got a DX5C transmitter for my Wraith Spawn, and aside from Speed and Steering, im not sure what im doing...yet. I need to find a video that dumbs it down for me. Now, will the prorammer take care of all adjustments needed outside of what a standard low end/option transmitter would? I figured I would put the Tactic (originally in my Spawn) receiver in my micro, and use the Tactic transmitter (Spawn) with it, to save more out of pocket costs.

My father in law got into it the same time as I did and he and I always ran together. Neither of us knew anything and he’s the type that if it’s running he’s not messing with it lol.

@@bgrimlan that pinion from eBay is a press on. It’s a tight fit. Never had an issue with it. If anything put a dab of super glue on the motor shaft and then slide it on.

[@bgrimlan]

@@2fmrc Is there a correct way to put the press-on gear on? I imagine you don't use any lubricant since that would make the gear more likely to slip when the motor spins. Can I just rubber mallet it? I don't think I can put it on by bare hand force. Sorry, I have never dealt with press-on gears, just those with a nut or a set screw.

Well..... I’m not totally sure that will work. Some of those only run one direction at a time. So you’ll have forward and no reverse. You can program it to run the other way but then you’ll have no forward and only reverse. I don’t think it’ll do both at the same time. I’m not 100% sure on this. You’ll have to play with the settings on it. Hopefully it has a good manual that can walk you through the settings.
