Axial SCX24 FREE EASY mods

[@RCTNT]

You've done a solid job with this video, seriously. Pacing, framing, driving - love it! (My white Jeep just arrived yesterday, I'm already fiddling with it!)

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Thanks a ton! I really love the look of the white version, the CRC logos looks great on it.

[@gregmayes1716]

Thanks so much for the tips. Got a white Wrangler yesterday, and did your mods today. Keep up the great vids!!!

[@tonybowers9490]

Very impressive modifications. And to think they were for zero cost!

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

So happy any time I see someone benefit from shared information! Thanks for watching

[@JessdogCreations]

Hey is it me or this guy sounds just like Mr Rogers way to calm some of these little screws can be stressful but this guy makes it feel like a positive calm situation good job there guy

[@evanwilliams6352]

If you move the shocks you get much better articulation. I’ve found on the Jeep (same one as this) I moved the tops of the shocks forward on both the front and the rear springs. The angle of the shocks allow for longer travel, but I found that the truck actually sits lower in the stroke at rest, lowering the CG. (This doesn’t work on the other SCX24’s as the suspension geometry is different.)

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Will have to look into this and test it out, lowering the CG on the jeep would definitely gain some performance! Thanks for the input and for watching!!

[@yochillll2672]

What about the c10

[@freakyfastrc1612]

Laying down the shocks also weakens the springs.

[@TheTekSone]

Just purchased the white jeep last night

[@AAron2020xydfg]

Just ordered the yellow jeep. Looking forward to trying your mods. Thanks for the great vid 👍

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

You’re going to love it! Great choice

[@jprme7588]

Great video! I'm getting an scx24 Jeep soon and I will definitely try the bumper mod out! I bought other upgrades for it as well

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Confident you will love the Jeep, such a fun and practical crawler! Did you go with white or yellow? The logos on the white are pretty nice.

[@jimratzlaff3112]

NIce mods. Never considered the bumper mod before and didn't want to cut the body. But you did a great job and it looks good up front.

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

I know what you mean.......had to take a deep breath before starting to trim the body......its too gorgeous to mangle!

[@ChrisJones-yn1um]

I ddi not want to remove the bumper on mine. I did, however remove the two brackets that stick the bumper out from the frame. I reattached the bumper section with the lights directly to the frame and only did slight triming to get the lights to shine free of obstruction.

[@WoodsUnknown]

Just found your channel and liked and subscribed.

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Awesome, thank you!

[@rcn8tiv345]

Did the bumper mod..awesomeness!

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

So happy to hear it helped! That’s what its all about, cheers 👍

[@catcult6831]

Where are you filming at 7:04 it looks like the view that's a 5 - 10 minute walk from my home!

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

That segment was filmed in the Maricopa Mountains overlooking Hidden Valley south of Maricopa AZ. If that’s the location you are thinking then we are likely pretty close neighbors. If you’re in the area lmk if you ever want to do some trail crawling!

[@catcult6831]

@@SonoranScaleStudios Ah I live up in the Estrella Mountains, just a bit northwest of hidden valley.

[@ka4172]

I put some cheap ebay metal beadlocks with RC4wd Mickery Thomsen Baja Claw on. Way more torque because there smaller in diameter also lower center of gravity.and less stress for stearing servo and non wheel rubbing on the body. But i like your mods very much.

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

I bet that looks nice with the Baja claws! Still looking for tires to put on the scx24 bronco……maybe the Claw will be a good choice, thanks for sharing!

[@Crider-ih2ir]

I have some of the stick on weights I bought for another project. I'm have to add one t the steering servo. I feel it's super light in front end going over stuff. I added the wheel weights and axle extension already but feels like it could use a little more

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Could add some more down low weight with some alloy wheels and maybe some brass diff covers? They are lightweight little things no doubt!

[@geneschindler9537]

That's a neat and simple mod 👍

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Thanks for the feedback, happy it was helpful!

[@jorgecolon2607]

I found out the plumbers putty Is a great thing g almost like blutack

[@MainansieBocah]

Nice videos my friends 👍🙏🙏🙏 Sharing 🙏🙏🙏

[@RC-CARS-WORLD]

Great video my rc friend 😀👍

[@noornabigaming7873]

for the first tip just remove the whole bumper its way better and you wont be cutting into your body

[@laitonduckworth6604]

do you have to have a wheel tool to remove the wheels?

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

It surely makes things easier! Otherwise a 4mm wrench is what you need 👍

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I've only got the one SCX-24 Deadbolt.... But always looking for good ideas! ~ All my other stuff is 1/10 and 1/14. 😊 Your surroundings look very familiar. If I told you that I lived near Speedway and Wilmot, would you recognize it?

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Are you in Tucson? I’m about 45 min north west just past Casa. For the 24’s I think the deadbolt in red is my favorite! Thanks for watching!!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

NW Tucson... I've got the red Deadbolt, but so busy with other projects, I haven't had time to work on it.

[@speedtriprr537]

Thanks!

[@minioverland]

that was great , is wd40 can really make the tire wall softness?

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Yes it actually works. Just monitor the progression to not “over soften”

[@minioverland]

@@SonoranScaleStudios thanks for the information, I will try it soon

[@dailywheelies12]

I've never heard of ceiling fan weights.

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Basically the same thing as an automotive wheel balancing weight but are included with any ceiling fan I’ve ever installed. Used to balance uneven fan blade rotation or wobble. Most hardware stores also sell fan blade balancing kits as a standalone

[@sargentsingletrack4989]

im sure its been said but you can also do a free shock mod with zip ties

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

It’s hasn’t been said here yet that I’m aware of! Thanks for adding the tip 👍!

[@maxprepper9126]

Phoenix?

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

About 20 min south, can see South Mountain in the distance 👍

[@wingmangaming2043]

Remove the servo saver and it’s a lot better

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

I will have to give that a try with the stock servo. Have you replaced and or upgraded the servo itself?

[@wingmangaming2043]

@@SonoranScaleStudios I haven’t yet but removing the saver helped with power and I don’t run upgraded tires yet but thinking about it

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Great , thanks for the info! I’m especially considering removal of the saver on the deadbolt with it running the larger stickier Rc4wd tires…….Thanks again!

[@wingmangaming2043]

@@SonoranScaleStudios also what tyre and rim combo do you recommend for a scx24 jeep rock crawling I’m trying to find something good in the cheaper side

[@m111kca4]

All you do is flip the rear body hinge

[@PnwPryo]

Just take the bumper off it’s useless

[@SonoranScaleStudios]

Most definitely an option as well!
