Man you deserve a million subscribers and more you have great content and have helped me a lot along the way

[@shafiqjan1474]

I am glad I ordered my PN motor, mount and spur before this video was posted.

[@jameshunter8280]

Love that betty build

[@rcdreaming5460]

Thanks for the great information on motors. The truck looks like it is going to preform really well.

[@jasonedens3778]

Nice upgrade, thanks for the info.

[@upsidedown1229]

Great work on the SCX24 builds. It’s great how both you and Matt are showing the number of different ways to mod these trucks. 👍🏻

[@Icehso140]

Great how to video. I saw where someone put the Furitek Brushless upgrade, but didn't show the step by step modification.

[@sammyboswelldirtybrc7580]

I have the pn racing motor on my 24 with 1080 esc thing is wild I have the fifty turn on mine it still crawls slow but it’s fast and has enough torc to pull the wheels off the ground love it

[@papachill]

try add the neo-magnet and u will get even more torque!

[@TPDazzle]

I love PN Racing. I have been racing with their 70 T in my mini z s for years. So much cheaper than brushless also.

[@papachill]

same here! their parts are always top notchy!

[@ericwagner3223]

Just placed my order at Kenon before they are out of stock. Lol. Never thought I’d succumb to an influencer 😆😆

[@PhilBender612]

Hey Josh, I placed my first order with Kenon hobby this morning after watching your vid . And I must say I'm happy to see they have already confirmed the order and shipped it. Now that's service.😉 lol Seriously I'm excited about getting new power in the scx24. Remember, you recommended, this motor /spur/pinion combo, better be worth it.🙂 thanks

[@hemitj]

Thank you!

[@jerryfrederick6610]

Great video, I am thinking about entering the 1/24 th scale arena with a Axial Dead Bolt. Just doing my research on upgrades and costs.

[@JoeyRock333]

Great job

[@EXPIOWA]

Who would have ever thought a stock motor would smoke prematurely pushing huge tires and overdrive front diff gears. Lol Having driven the PN90 and PN70 in an SCX24, I prefer the 70T. It has plenty of torque so that it is not notice between the two, and more wheel speed. That mount is awesome and serves as an effective heatsink. It is well designed and built.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Awesome, that you went brushed, everyone wants to go brushless 👍 We'll see if it works out for you, though?

[@jackgroeneveld7885]

Lookin sic man I love those tires

[@andrewrichey7374]

Looking good Josh. Just got done watching mats I do like the tiger paint job, I am following this budget build, Super cool

[@jaysrcexpedition]

I use two brushed motors in my scx24. Congratulations on the 60k+ subs.

[@kirkglundal4289]

You have two motors for a MOA setup? More info please...

[@derrickwilliams2903]

Thank you for showing that a performance brushed motor is a viable option. Seems most people go directly to brushless. Predictions for the following two weeks: Lizard/Iguana ESC ($50), Emax servo ($9), alloy shocks ($25), and a Futaba RX ($35?).

[@year1camaro]

Thats a lot of weight added thou. I left mine with the stock esc, works fine for crawling. I did go for a better servo than the emax too.

[@derrickwilliams2903]

@@year1camaro Not necessarily. I run a Lizard with the bluetooth module and a micro RX. The entire setup is 9.9g, including a XT30 connector. The stock ESC/RX is 12.6g. Also, the Lizard/Iguana is worlds beyond the stock ESC's capabilities as far as modulation and you can tune it to fit your needs. It is 100% worth the money. Anyone who disagrees likely hasn't used one. It's that good.

[@year1camaro]

@@derrickwilliams2903 i dont belive my decased desoldered esc/receiver combo weights more than your set up. sorry. and I dont have time to weight it all it seems more than obvious without going throught the trouble. I wish Matt weight his esc before he put it back in

[@derrickwilliams2903]

@@year1camaro Have you ever used a Lizard/Iguana? Seems you are missing that point. Even for an extra couple of grams, it's more than worth it. Not telling you what to do, but having a closed mind could be limiting your rig's potential.

[@year1camaro]

@@derrickwilliams2903 here it is in a nut shell, its about motor control, and I have plenty of that with my setup. its not just about a few grams even thou in this small of an rc every gram counts imo. shoot i see harley designs removing his on off switch to cut down on weight. the brushless system put the weight up higher, just what ive been fighting against this whole time. there is no benefit to brushless, sorry. no one ever crawls as slow as all the videos unless they're on meth. I mean who wants to wait for that guy. who wants to crawl that slow unless its on your work bench and your doing it for likes,,,,just like flex shots. crawling is about momentum, not who can crawl slower. its just silly. not to mention a waste of money that could be spent on other useful mods.

[@SwampersRC]

Great video! The electric motor 101 was a great idea for all the newb's out there. I'm surprised to see you "in the red" still on the budget! Your truck is a little monster!

[@thesickhorseranch]

I've been walking past my daughters dead SCX24 for a year or so now after replacing the motor in it twice. They are always getting it wedged under the furniture and continuing to hold the throttle on and I think that really kills the little motor quickly. Perhaps this is the fix I'm looking for. Thank you for the informative video.

[@scottoblander9419]

Crap. I've been resisting getting one of these SCX24's. You're making it hard for me to keep resisting.

[@jarekmace1536]

If you needed another reason to get one, an indoor course can be built on a sheet of plywood for a start.

[@allmightygreatone1048]

Fun machine indoors.

[@sdqsdq6274]

dont know why that 1/24 scale is getting to me and i am not a RC guy

[@rcpete7055]

Thankyou Matt another great video 👍 I'll go and checkout Josh your both doing an awesome job with these Scx24's 💯😜

[@fernsolo]

Is looking good 👍

[@papachill]

love the video as always!! thanks for introducing this brushed set up!

[@odomandr]

Finally some meat and tater in this build... Curious to see how it turns those huge tires

[@lsswaptheworld9092]

What do you use to charge the lipos for these 24th scales?

[@CoachD386]

💪🏾💯 good vid and motor information...

[@shaneclark5506]

Where did toi get the cel blocks?

[@greypaddleboards8002]

I’m surprised no shock mods yet? Cariama/ hot racing oil filled?

[@mtkidrc2307]

The motor still looks like it’s placed lower than the Furitek brushless 👌🏼

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It is definitely lower than the brushless options and is smaller in diameter so the COG is still much better. It’s just not as low as a stock motor.

[@mtkidrc2307]

@@HarleyDesignsInc is there a motor between the 050 and this 130 size?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

@@mtkidrc2307 yes, I believe the 080 size out of some of the other small scale rigs.

[@mtkidrc2307]

@@HarleyDesignsInc 🤔 I’ll have to do some research 👍🏼

[@maritrini6249]

Which motor are you running?

[@scottmichael7178]

is the Pn motor a better option than the Hot Racing motor ? Does it hold up well with the stock esc ? Thanks in advance

[@allengeist5481]

What is a good reasonable priced brushed Micro esc?help

[@garabdorje]

Will the PN spur and pinion gears work with the stock motor?

[@TPDazzle]

No, the pinions are for a different size motor shaft.

[@conman093]

Just got my first 24 on a trade and it’s all built other than the motor esc and servo just orderd this motor any update on how it’s holding up?

[@emory442]

I've got one of these setups in my Mofo Ugly AF chassis. It won't work with the motor facing forwards, so I had to reverse my skid plate.

[@The_Privateer]

Shoulda gone 12S 550 can brushless, imo.

[@forrestcrabbe]

🤘

[@JackSparrow-fp2jb]

Where did you buy the body ?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It came on the truck I started with.

[@davidprice4904]

How do I get plate?

[@bcochener]

Nice motor breakdown and install. Did you run into any Y-link clearance issue on the motor mount? I have seen that was an issue with the PN mount.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I do not have an issue there but with the shorter front links I could see it being a possibility.

[@papachill]

u will never encounter the so called issue as naturally its almost impossible for the front shocks to be fully compressed at the same time. ive been running the PN motor mount for a while now, never had any issue.

[@rockwolfdesigns6384]

Hey Josh. In the Livestream you mentioned injora was a blight on the industry. Could you explain? First I had heard of this.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I usually don’t get into it too much but basically they just steal designs and make cheap copies. They build their base off of theft, this is nothing new of course as many industries see the same thing. They are just one of many of these companies that often lead to the decline of industries. RC didn’t see as much of this until around 2017.

[@rockwolfdesigns6384]

Ok thanks. I have been away from the hobby for a while. I recently retired and finally have time for things I want. I appreciate that you are letting us know about these things. Someone who is in the loop helps us know how we can work together for the health of our hobby. I don't have a problem paying for a quality product. That said, before I saw your warning I had already made a purchase from injora and am actually impressed with their beadlocks. Can you tell me who's they ripped off, that way I can purchase the real thing from here forward. Thank you for helping us defend our thing from those who would destroy it for their gain.

[@candiceharber2909]

What tires are on your Betty.

Little Guy Racing Parts. I believe I have a link in the description.

[@joseleonardohardydiaz6717]

Hi bro, I have a question, do you happen to know if your page makes international orders?

[@LifeWithTheFosters]

What end mills do you use to cut carbon fiber on your CNC? Great videos, enjoy the information!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I use PCB cutters rather than end mills.

[@LifeWithTheFosters]

@@HarleyDesignsInc have you cut aluminum with your CNC yet?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Small pieces yes, but not extensively.

[@ponderin]

Everything I try and order this set up. It never gives me a chance to order it

[@joseleonardohardydiaz6717]

Runnn it xd run the car.

[@bmuenter]

Hey new guy question! Going from smaller to bigger, what pinion gear would be best for slow crawling? The smaller one? Or the larger one? I'm looking for slow accuracy, not wheel speed. He chose the one in the middle, but what's the best for what I'm looking for? Could anyone be nice enough to help me please?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Smaller pinion would be the best choice.

[@dirtyfingersninja]

Pooowaaaaaa!

[@11jaypotter]

For $20 more you can get a furitek Lizard and a komodo

[@aegixxer1]

The one dislike is obviously Matt being salty

[@kevinklein1806]

Have you looked at the Mofo Rc brass skid plate?

[@derrickwilliams2903]

I suspect he wants to avoid sprung weight. Also, there are probably a lot of other things to tackle before spending budget on something like that. I mean, he is still on the stock servo and shocks.

[@TheTsunamilongboards]

Do you know if this would work for the ECX barrage as well? I upgraded my SCX 24 and put the ESC from it into the barrage and it burned to the barrage motor up... second time I’ve had a barrage motor burn out.... first was on stock esc

[@scottnorton6834]

Wait…. I thought this was week 6 of the budget build, not RC School with Professor Proton

[@pauls1816]

This is the tamest episode in the series. Where’s the rule bending

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m saving it for the finale/audition fashion show!

[@dirtrider88]

so you buy the motor then you have to spend just under 3 times that amount (by only $2) JUST TO MOUNT IT?????? thats a really tough pill to swallow.

[@ConditionZero76]

Nah, thanks but I'll pass 😉 $70 plus dollars delivered for a Brushed motor, I'm good... if I'm spending that kind of money or recommending others too, it definitely wldnt be for Brushed & it definitely wldnt be for that motor.. Go furitek Brushless /surpass motor for that type of $$ 💵..... 👍🏼 Great video
