Axial RC SCX10 Leaf Spring Conversion (rear)

[@bleepinjeep]

I'm sure many of you enjoy MotorTrend's "Dirt Every Day" episodes even though the MotorTrend channel features Ferraris, Volvos, and Cadillacs most of the time. Despite what many of you may think the BleepinJeep channel is NOT a Cherokee channel, it IS and was always meant to be Anything 4x4 related. That includes Jeeps but also Toyotas and Unimogs, RC's, trail riding, heck it may even include camping related videos in the future. BleepinJeep will continue to grow and expand with content related to the 4x4 adventuring we all love. If you have suggestions of how we can differentiate the content I am all ears, but I would think the titles speak for themselves. Thanks for watching!- Matt

+BleepinJeep BS...is this an rc toy channel now?

[@dphotonic]

i thought it was interesting. I don't understand why people are so upset.

[@domprovenzano9594]

+BleepinJeep love to see people getting involved in the channel. I plan on making a submission to bleepinjeep very soon. I have a few XJ's that need a bunch of work. Keep up the good work guys!

[@scottrc5776]

do you like land rover's?

[@mikebullis8206]

+BleepinJeep Really disappointing to see that you're taking away from the "jeep" aspect of this channel. I hope you guys decide to make a change and eliminate this rc thing.

[@TheTracyrenee25]

Come on guys. I don't know a lot about the RC hobby. But if its something that gets you outdoors and something for a family to do together. Or getting a child involed in a hobby. I'm all for it. I want to see the Scorpion Project as much as anyone else, but I know working on my own Jeep takes massive amounts of time. And I like the addition of new things to the channel. Like the Mister Rodgers parody. Thanks BleepinJeep. Keep up the aweeome work.

[@ExtremeRC4x4]

I hope bleepinjeep keeps this guy! He's great with his explanations and it really shows how similar full scale and RC cars can get! Please make some custom fab videos! I see you have many parts that cannot be store bought.

[@wttjeepjk08]

I love all aspects of the channel guys, glad y'all are including RC's cause I'm a big RC guy as well as a 1:1 jeeper.

[@rc3140]

All of the people I wheel with have some form of RC. I have crawlers and helicopters and short course trucks so to see some cool RC crawler stuff on bleeinjeep is frickin AWESOME!!!!!! Thanks guys,keep up the good work 🍻cheers.

[@dogcrick]

Kinda funny all the dislikes you are getting... Some pretty lame people if they don't like R/C. Especially scale Jeeps from Axial Racing! That is all I do! The first thing a hater always says is "Get a real Jeep" My response is usually "Bitch I've got more real Jeeps than your whole family and my R/C collection is still worth more!" LoL! I actually run my R/C Jeeps over my real ones due to the fun factor and the fact that if I break the toy I can still go wheeling in the 1:1 on the way home lol! Good video guys. I am waiting on my Cherokee hard body to show up then I will be doing a rear leaf conversion as well.

[@marcelobleepinjeep2490]

much appreciated my fellow dreadlocker.

[@K3NnY_G]

Imagine the mindblowing experience of coming across this; planning on putting all my old 10.1 stuff to use for something different; and realizing it's not just BleepinJeep, it's THAT BleepinJeep. Come a long way from RC crawling content.. I'll stick to my tiny trucks. xD Thanks for this video though; still being put to use even now days.

[@Chris_Bumpus]

as an xj lover i too have an scx version on my rig. love the vid guys! don't mind the haters!

[@WhiskeysPaw]

This is great! I was starting to get turned off cause of all the Rough Country being used. Now I can start working on my1 1/10 scale XJ to match my full size! Many thanks, great video!

[@calikyler5057]

Loved the old videos, but this is great! Goodjob!

[@kristamercedes3723]

You can also use bicycle chain link for spring shackles. I lot of people don't know LOWES is a great place to find stuff like this for rc projects.

[@eastcoastlowlife1]

cool video a link to the parts would be nice

[@magimaartgallery8940]

hello my car is toyota landcruiser prado, model year 1995 some people call it "1kz prado". it is factory made with rear coil springs and now i want to do away with the rear coil springs and install leaf springs for weight support (i intend to use the leaf springs from landcruise 70 series or 1hZ or D since these two models have the same body type), of course i will have to replace the rear diff as its original diff wont allow me to install the u bolts where the shocks will seat. On the frame i see like there are some provission holes but i will have to weld a leaf spring hanger to hold the shackle hanger to leaf spring. i hope you understant what i mean.

[@mcgarage3963]

Matt you need to do more rc videos. This was a really good one. I looked up scx10 leaf spring conversion and this was like the first one.

[@K3NnY_G]

Still helping out today; RC4WD discontinued their kit even; honestly this is the most straight forward way to build a SCX based leaf spring build, especially if you still got 10.1 stuff kickin' around like me. KZbin's still pushing the content for relevant search terms; what got me here.

[@Julian-do7bv]

this is cool as shit to see a toy be that realistic I don't care what anyone says

[@traxxashondaman]

Can you post a video of how to do the front set up you have as well thanks

[@coreysmoothy7682]

How is your front suspension done as I want to do it to my crawler

[@traemiller5523]

what about the scorpion!!!!!!!

[@Frankredwolf]

So when you installed the leaf spring you dont attach the axel arms back again?

[@saikatmauser]

Exactly how long are these leafsprings?

[@jonathansanchez736]

Hi hello can you tell me what rc4wd part number should i buy?

[@Axle347]

All these years later, I was MASSIVELY confused why I just went to bleepinjeep for leaf springs on an rc hahaha

[@yungirrelevancy3385]

Anyone know or have a tutorial on how to do that kind of front suspension

[@mcgarage3963]

Oh and for the haters saying that rc’s are childish and what not. Think again. These are not your Walmart toys. These are a real hobby grade rc that you can get as much money wrapped up in as a real car. They start at 200-400 for the starting kit or rtr and then you have a ton of upgrades just like the real thing, this is an expensive hobby that takes a lot to do. I do this hobby I do crawlers and race oval. I have about $500 wrapped up in my oval car and it is no where near a top notch car. It’s competive where I’m at but not nationally. And my crawler I have about $500 in it and again. It’s ok but if I do competitions with it it is no where near competive honestly. This a a true hobby that takes commitment to do.

[@mitchelfrench253]

Where's Tim...?

[@ericfaley9019]

cool video. I have both a Comanche and Cherokee body for my scx10. I ordered parts to do this conversion as this is more like how they are built. how about some info on what shocks your running also how thje front suspension is set up. I see the front springs are separate from the shocks.

[@anthonygreen8986]

How do you mount leaf springs on the front of the jeep

[@marcelobleepinjeep2490]

Anthony Green the same way as the rear.

[@anthonygreen8986]

Thanx i figured it out and got it workn

[@rj7072]

You should do one on how you did the front coil suspension looks pretty sweet

[@marcelobleepinjeep2490]

tank7063 i will do one on that later on! make sure to subscribe to see updates on rc vids!

[@chrisreyes259]

Where do you buy these RC Cherokees at? They are interesting

[@balzarini51]

you don't. nobody makes a complete xj kit. you have to buy 1/10 scale rc trail rig and find a xj body to put on it

[@leoryan77]

Great video! I might try this on mine... Here's a like to offset the negative Nancy's.

[@twistedneckoffroad3790]

Having one of those would be fun. I need to get one. Thanks for doing a vid like this.

[@parkerfiskar3589]

What axle is this? My axle on my scx10 is different and has a red diff cover.

[@xjmachine2503]

It's the original scx10 axle. The one you have is the scx10 2 axle

[@SKULL0fD3ATH.]

hey BleepinJeep, would this be the same process for the front as well? because im gonna be doing a K5 build and im wanting a full leaf spring setup like the real trucks.

[@marcelobleepinjeep2490]

SKULL0FD3ATH yes it would be the same. you would just need some spacers for your steering, depending on what you have for your steering

[@SKULL0fD3ATH.]

marcelo bleepinjeep thx for the info.

[@AaronsAutomotive]

Hey great vid, always wanted to see how that was done, thinking of doing the same to my RC.

[@orygunchainsawmassacre6761]

119 dislikes? Good gawwd people. It's still a damn Jeep. Not every vid can be the Scorpion crawler .

[@elwasek]

we want scorpion videos!!!

[@coltius]

If you don't want to watch this kind of video on this channel... Don't watch it. You're using a free video service to watch a free video and you want to complain about it? I bet you're the the type that goes to a busy restaurant and orders something really complicated and complains because they forgot your cup of ranch. Good job Bleepinjeep, keep it up! I want to see videos on Barbie Jeeps next.

[@thor777mx]

ya i'm all about scale rc but not on bleepinjeep channel:/

[@MrWiggilez]

love the mini jack stand :P

[@arwana692]

thnks for the tips

[@tybilodeau4439]

I am a huge fan of bleepin jeep. I think it is one of the best automotive channels on KZbin for content as well production. Each of Matt's videos are quite well made and it is clear he spends a good deal of time making them informative and entertaining. I have even warmed up to some of the alternate hosts who also have good content. All that praise being said I was very disappointed in this video. I understand the need to grow and diversify the channel. I also believe videos such as this one may attract a new audience. Nevertheless I feel toy car videos have no place on this channel! Who the hell was that even? No intro, no description, not even a face to go with the giant fingers! I know bleepin jeep is not a jeep specific channel. I didn't get this upset when Tyler welded his buddies diff... That's because its relevant to the hobby! Rc things are a completely different side of KZbin! This garbage should be over in the section with my kid brother's Minecraft channel! You can not, no, will not trick me into watching more rc tomfoolery.

[@hopebassist]

bleepin Toys-r-us

[@RichardNicolasJones]

Okay Boomer

[@ipdjbt]

Hopefully you can use the proceeds from this video to buy new batteries for your smoke alarm

[@tybilodeau4439]

Wow, I actually sat through this whole dumb video thinking I'd have to go change my batteries!

[@ipdjbt]

Ty Bilodeau lol!

[@danielb3132]

Why?

[@xjmachine6828]

why not

[@MMisterRitchh]

wish my rig looked half as good as that rc

[@alnbaba]

I stopped playing with toys 30 years ago, what the fuck boys

[@perrymetalworks3100]

It should be.

[@realengineaddict]

please name the vids with RC cars something with RC in it, then you know if there is a hype or not when the vids is uploaded.

[@Yeayeaaaa]

It literally says RC in the title

[@realengineaddict]

+Hayden Davis else the title is changed...

[@tj86xj]

I "liked" the video, but I'm kinda torn on this honestly.. I appreciate the realistic-ness of the final product, and I love RC stuff, (I'm sure a lot of Jeep guys do), but what I don't like is form-over-function. I just finished a 4-link build in the rear of my XJ because as everyone knows, the leafs really aren't good in terms of performance. Sure, they have simplicity and stability going for them, but nobody (in their right mind) swaps from a rear 4-link suspension to a leaf setup. Yes, I'm aware of the guys swapping to leafs in the front of their XJ's, but honestly, that makes more sense than this. At least their suspension is balanced.. anyways, carry-on.

[@TheOutdoorLife]

Umm....

[@tomd1939]

opinions are like, well, ya know...like or hate the video, don't let that get to you....but damn dude, change the batteries on your fire alarm! lmao. I kept thinking mine was going off

[@cazphoenix]

I want to do the opposite conversions xD that's funny hahahaha

[@billyraybullington3038]

Maybe I should swap to this hobby instead, looks a lot cheaper!

[@bigmike774]

I thought it was a real XJ until 4 min in lol wtf

[@kurtisscooters]

I love rc wheeling just as much as the next guy but keep it off this channel.. I watch this for REAL jeep videos.. Not this stuff..but none the less good video.

[@davidwostrel]

Are you freaking serious!!! Replace the battery in your smoke alarm bud!!!

[@ckhanna71]

Boring!

[@mattrivera3819]

really? worst bleepin jeep vid ever

[@scalejedi3849]

why don't you go buy a 1/24 PLASTIC model jeep.

[@TheAmericanUhate]

+Luis Ortiz Because those just sits on a shelf collecting dust. These is actually a fun hobby to have on the side. I use to build them years ago.

[@adamsarik3587]

Please stick to real jeeps in the future.

[@perrymetalworks3100]

Dude, I watch your channel for the "real" content! What is this crap?!

[@perrymetalworks3100]

+Johnboy it should be.

[@lilyju13]

Rc?????? Whats next??? Cartoons ??

[@davidgrant3940]

Not a real Jeep. Fail.

[@breezyridgeranch]

Please no more toys
