Best SCX24 Upgrades & Accessories - Part 1

[@jknewb6276]

Ignore the dislikes, this video is nothing but useful information. The 24's are great products and Brett is showing us awesome upgrades. Thanks Brett appreciate your time!!

[@gunsandcommissions]

I'm convinced that dislikes on Brett's videos are done by little kids who got their hands on mom's phone and are randomly clicking

Probably just SCX24 haters... The more I see of them the more I want one but I think I'd need a 3d printer if I did.

[@jiakabery3550]

This video infuriates me! Because of this video I've spent more money on my SCX24 than the purchase price of the car. LOL Just kidding. Not mad at all. As a matter of fact, it's one of my favorite RCs.

I actually had to fashion of a real exhaust snorkel for my full-size 1956 CJ-5 due to a long deep water run. Stock 4 cyl creeping at idle through the deep water would want to die out. Exhaust snorkel clamped on and off I went

I used to own a crap load of 1/10th scale crawlers and sold them all. Now that I’m getting back into the hobby this is the scale I want

[@rjechols2059]

I also got out for a while and came back with an scx24, got the green c10 and I'm loving it! Only problem I've had after a month of ownership was the stock motor gave up on me. Replacement is only 8 bucks and is pretty easy to change out though

Are you just putting 1/10 winches in? I can't find anything smaller. Not that I went super deep into looking, just a few sites.

[@soflorclife6970]

Turncoat Tony I’m using is a tension style winch you can see it on my channel, but you could also get the same size servo as your steering and that would work with some modifications.

Great video with lots of info all in one place. Disappointed to hear the snorkel called an exhaust snorkel. That’s an intake snorkel.

Awesome vid . I want to upgrade the motor to the barrage .050 , would you recommend breaking it in before useing ? Thanks

[@pieman12345678987654]

Just got mine. My first thought was about how I can put some washers on the wheels to make them heavier. It's a little bit to easy to flip over and it seems to have plenty of torque because the gear ratio is astronomically low.. it must go less than a half a mile and hour.

[@georgekalaras9563]

I have not yet bought my firist rc crawler i want an scx24 i have a lot of toy grade rc cars and a hobby grade rc monster truck i like your chanel and your website

Anybody else having an issue with the charger failing? Is Axial planning to remedy this? I've heard it's a common issue.

I just bought a axial scx24 Jeep it came 2 days ago and I went to charge it and the charger is broke... I got it from model-sports.

[@apoc-design]

@@AdventureSparks Yeah! I recommended this for my nephew and they've gone thru 3 chargers now. WTF? I'd really like to see him get into the hobby (and I want a couple for myself) but that sucks. RTR SHOULD mean it's pretty bulletproof.

[@druchii89]

Replaced mine with a Spektrum S150 & an ICS3 -> JST adaptor bought from Amain. Works a charm, charging at 0.5A! Recommended. Though ironically, my stock charger is working fine after about 20 uses still....

[@jeffreyrodriguez3356]

I also had problems with the charger on the second use it literally melted itself. I called and they did send me another. But yeah I used my own hobby grade after that

I really like these trucks. Brett, would you buy one? Are they fun indoors? Are they worth the price?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Oh yeah, it's a great little truck that's a ton of fun. For guys already in the hobby, this is a good supplement r/c for when you can't get outside, when your traveling or whatever the case. For beginners, it's a great first r/c too because its so easy to drive and use. In our mini crawler shootout the SCX24 was the best performer.

[@tuffgong83]

Did you remove the foam from the tires before mounting them? I have heard that some tires run better with no foam in the SCX24

No we didn't. But since they're beadlocks, we might give that a go! -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies I installed the Rock Creeper with no foam, great results!! Definitely the way to go!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

They have a little flex to them but I can't see the weight of the truck crushing them in a roll over; they feel stronger than that. They should hold up. -Brett

[@michaelramsey82]

I think the smaller tires actually improve the look quite a lot. The stock tires are way oversize for scale.

I just got the rc4wd stamped steel black headlock wheels and super swamped tires. Now comes the hard part; putting them together. Brett you make it look so easy on the videos. How

[@alexanderseile4193]

Great upgrades and always very informative video as always from AmainHobbies. However, I am currently very hesitant with any upgrade because this 5 USD motor keeps constantly causing trouble and needs his 3rd replacement for our Jeep already. I cannot imagine that the increased weight from the upgrades will not make this problem worse. Therefore, I am still waiting for a motor upgrade before investing money into any or all of the other parts. I assume there is still no upgrade motor available?

[@B_Skeen]

A common upgrade for the SCX24s motor is the motor for the Barrage. You are goin to have to drill new mounting holes in the motor plate but do some searches on here and you'll find many videos covering the motor install

[@Fourwheeljive]

Great info!

[@Accurize2]

I’m ready to level up. No depleted uranium options?!

[@foellerd]

I added a 3rd channel "auxiliary module" so I could use the stock controller to turn the stock lights off and on using the channel 3 switch. I tried to get the module as low as possible but it does add a bit of weight up high. Reason being when im running inside I can turn the lights off so I don't blind my girlfriend.

[@aydendelrio5226]

Should I get a mini t 2.0 or an Everest 10 crawler I have been debating since the mini t is small and portable and good for quarantine or the Everest so difficult to decide! considering I have been in the hobby for a while I feel like since I have never been into crawling I should get the Everest 10. Which do you guys prefer for the price?

[@Rc-ho4sv]

Im in crawling . and id say skip the everest for a different crawler later when you can afford more . And the mini t 2.0 now . lots of upgrades for it aswell . i have the blue mini t 2.0 . very agile and surprisingly durable ....

[@aydendelrio5226]

I could definitely afford a more expensive crawler it’s just I’m a basher ya know and I just wanted to get a crawler for cheap but, know form what I hear from people about the mini t I think I’m getting that know considering it’s strength and part availability thanks for your opinion it helped 😎👍

Intake snorkel, not an exhaust snorkel, bro. And the wheels do not immulate "beadlocks." They immulate old Steeles, i have them in Chrome. Also, have some that have actual beadlock wheels also. Good video, man.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

If I remember correctly, the snorkel goes n2 the intake. (Previous military)

[@AuthenRodica]

Yes it is to prevent flooding of the engine when Intaking air. The exhaust pressure is enough to keep the water out.

[@lifeinrc9051]

Thanks for all the upgrade info I do have a question as I'm new to the rock crawling hobby. I notice that majority of the crawlers run on brushed motors, why not brushless?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Brushed motors do a great job in crawlers because they're smooth, have good torque and they're inexpensive. Brushed motors also perform well in water. You'll find brushed systems in RTR crawlers mainly because it's less expensive than brushless, yet still very capable. -Brett
