Furitek Tegu & Lizard ESC Install in Stock scx24! How to! Brushless or brushed!

[@TheAmericanTD93]

I just bought a scx24 JLU. Been watching your videos man and grateful for em. You've got me steeping through the door into this hobby. Thanks for your effort making these videos and all dude very informative.

[@brendanstanks6850]

Awesome! Bought a used rig and one of the batteries included had janky wiring and blew up the esc in smoke only the steering works and my stock motor just stopped working he included another stock motor but I swapped it to find it was dead as well so I found a esc and Injora brushed motor combo for only $12 this helped me understand what to do thanks mate!

[@2fmrc]

If you don’t know already. The app is called FuriCar. I believe the password is 1234. I covered it in another video but just Download it and make sure your Bluetooth dongle is plugged into the esc. Turn on the truck and then open the app. It’ll recognize the truck, click on it and you’re connected! Fairly simple but I’ve been warned that it isn’t coming with instructions so hopefully this helps!

[@nickc6756]

Please help I just got this all assembled and now it’s acting very jerky with a surpass motor. I have it set to brushless no my wheel nuts are not too tight. Nothing is hitting the motor on the outside. I have a video but I don’t know how to send it to you

[@rudypavelka4614]

installed lizard. changed to brush truck ran fine. turned esc off. next day battery voltage = 1.1 volts. furitek says unplug battery after use. do you? I thought off was off. never did this with stock setup.

[@2fmrc]

I’ve always unplugged my batteries. Lots of the 1/10 escs drain the battery even while in the off position so I’ve always made it a habit to unplug the battery when finished. I also don’t ever leave the batteries in the truck anymore. Never know when they may crap out. Rather them not burn the truck up with them if they do lol

Someone may have asked or you may have said it in the video but if you buy the lizard pro 2 kit with the brushless motor do you have to swap receivers or will the stock one still work I'd like ro get one but don't want to buy a new receiver just yet since I only have 1 truck right now

[@2fmrc]

The stock one will work with it as long as it’s the original esc/receiver. The new version that’s blue on top won’t work with it because it don’t have a ch2 port on the esc itself.

[@4reelfishing635]

@@2fmrc awesome thanks for the great information

[@nathanrandall]

What are your current top components for the scx24? Or more so the best most efficient upgrade path from stock/new owner to top level.

[@2fmrc]

I would say definitely wheels and tires with weights in at least the front wheels. I try to keep the truck 60% weight in the front 40% to the rear. Tires make the biggest difference in performance straight away. Servo will be next because the stock servo is just kinda weak especially after adding some weight and better grip. When doing the steering servo I would do the steering links with the hot racing links. Much less slop in the steering with those. After that it comes down to how smooth you want the throttle to be. I would possibly go for the Furitek esc next or if you feel stock is smooth enough for your driving you can continue from there with whatever you like. Those main things will make a HUGE difference in the truck though!

[@jdads100]

Will these work on a panda hobby tetra? If so then please make a video about how to mount them to a TETRA X2 because I have a TETRA X1

I just tried to connect mine to Bluetooth and it doesn’t pick up my truck at all also my Bluetooth module didn’t have an antenna on it do you think this may be the problem?

[@2fmrc]

Could be. All of mine have had the antenna. Try to power off everything and maybe reinstall the app. Then try again. If that don’t work I’d contact Furitek and let them know about it. They may have to replace the Bluetooth module.

[@petechipps9770]

Do these esc’s eliminate the bog down when turning? When driving and I steer left or right the truck slows down

[@travblurr8043]

Just received my furitek in the mail couple weeks ago, it has a 3 pin jst and most motors have a 2 pin jst. So did u just solder or buy an adapter. If bought do u have a link? Please.

[@2fmrc]

For the brushed motors with 2 pins I just plug the 2 into the 3 on the one side. Leaving one pin open. On the brushless motors you’ll use the 3 wire connector that comes with it.

[@RH-ci9yv]

Just got my Tegu main board. Didn't think I needed the bluetooth module.......it ships with a default setting to brushless. Is there a way to change the setting manually? Can't order just the module from Furitek Vietnam anymore, just Furitek USA and the discount code doesn't work. Do I wait for the back-ordered module or do I order a brushless motor and hope that I dont need to tune it with the bluetooth module and App?

[@2fmrc]

Yeah you definitely need the Bluetooth module for any tuning. As far as whether to wait or not that’s kinda up to how long you wanna wait. I honestly have no idea when they plan to have more or ship. I would email them and try to get one ASAP. Let them know that you didn’t know you had to have it when ordering and maybe they’ll rush ya one 👍

[@tigerone2353]

I was hoping to put a a Tegu or a lizard in my scx24 stock setup, then I found out that the lizard ESC comes default in brushless. I don't have Bluetooth nor do I have a smartphone. So I guess that means no lizard for my scx24. No manual switch on esc? ☹

[@lthutchins9473]

Does the lizard get rid of that high pitched whine the stock has? I’m thinking of getting it. Can I then buy a brushless motor later?

Yes usually it gets rid of that and it will definitely work with a brushless setup later. You’ll just change it from brushed to brushless in the app.

[@bcochener]

@ 2FMRC - You just saved me 20 bucks on 3 Lizards! :) Going to try them on stock electronics, but sounds like for LEDs I will need a multichannel receiver w/ transmitter. The Tegu having LED ports only would matter if running it off the stock ECS/Receiver - it sounds like (...those LED ports on the stock ESC would not output when hooked up to the Tegu or Lizard as the ESC I'm guessing.) Seems like if you have your own receiver with LED outs, a Lizard is all you ever need? (except for running 3S). --Has anyone tested this? If stock ESC/Reciever LED outs work with a Lizard or Tegu plugged in as the ESC?

[@2fmrc]

Awesome! $20 is great!!! I’ve not really tested the leds On them as I kinda figured if I wanted the leds I’d rather run them on my receiver and have the ability to turn them on/off with a switch on the controller etc. I don’t think I even have lights on any of mine anymore lol. I still have some lights. Maybe I’ll hook them up and see how they work. Imo like you said unless you just feel you have to run 3s the lizard is the way to go!

@@AwokenBMX Hey I had to check out your vids and love them. I rode bmx from the time I was around 13 until around 30. Very off and on from my early 20s till I was old and getting hurt wasn’t fun anymore 😆. A lot of great times on the bike tho! Miss those days for sure

[@AwokenBMX]

@@2fmrc yeah I’m all stock so Hopefully I can make it work ! And haha yeah bmx was everything for me growing up now I’m in to the bigger toys motocross and cars lol

[@timmytfpv7316]

how good is the drag brake if i want less braking for chasing the dog lol

[@aftermathmotomxrc]

Cool video.. nice Audio

[@hanau73]

The esc is Not compatible with an Element 24? Just the scx24

[@2fmrc]

It should work with the element. May have to pull the stock esc in the element and add your own receiver but it’ll definitely work in it.

[@pierresimon987]

So it will not work with the Carisma MSA 1E*. No chan 2 on the ESC/Receiver. Thanks anyway for your vid and explanations. edit :*stock truck

[@2fmrc]

It would with a different transmitter and receiver. Similar to what I did with my atlas install.

[@pierresimon987]

@@2fmrc yep its seems. I try to improve my Carisma with a minimal budget, but its not easy. Not mutch aftermarket parts available for this little dudette. May give it a try someday. Thanks

[@DustinWoloschuk]

What's five difference between the tegu and the lizard?

[@tsewja]

Thanks buddy should help some people

[@Hannsom7]

i have mini komodo and steallar trans would this be the same with the Lizard Ultimate ?

[@cheyannelane6411]

What Bluetooth is that? And do you have links to the parts for everything?

[@2fmrc]

Just added it all to the description. Sorry thought it was there already.

[@jamesgray606]

What magnets do you use to hold your bodies down?

[@2fmrc]

Something this size. As long as they say rare earth magnets around that size you should be good. Hobby Lobby and harbor freight also have them sometimes. Sometimes they only have some that are a bit smaller but they work. Here’s the ones I use most www.ebay.com/itm/12-100-500pcs-12mm-x-3mm-1-2-x-1-8-N52-Strong-Rare-Earth-Neodymium-Magnet-Disc-/302030262749?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

[@natesinn5568]

Does this help with the stock motor not burning out as much?

[@mj8839]

Tried to hook up the lizard using your steps and I'm not getting power to the esc any help? Same setup stock deadbolt with emax servo

[@2fmrc]

There is a tiny little button on them. Did you press it? My original one always came in without a switch but most the time now ya gotta tap it.

[@mj8839]

Perfect! Thanks for all your help and videos always a big help!

[@mj8839]

The throttle is reverse now? Is that normal

[@2fmrc]

@@mj8839 it happens. You can go to the calibrate tab and calibrate it to your transmitter or you can hit the motor direction tab and change that.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Got it going, I push that little black button on the controller turned it on so it must be on and off switch I didn’t know, but I figure I push it it came on, now trying to get the app because it is set at brushless I need brush

[@robertstarnes9624]

Can you still run a winch with the tegu, or do you loose the ability to??

[@2fmrc]

Should be able to. If running with the stock receiver setup just run it like usual. If running off another transmitter/receiver just plug it into whichever channel on the receiver you want it to run off of!

[@robertstarnes9624]

I'm running my winch of the second channel of the stock receiver, so how would I run them both??

[@thieu714]

Just got the tegu but after running scx24 for few minutes. Reverse cuts in and out. I tried 3 different firmwares and 2 different motors. Stock and barrage. I also have an emax servo. Any ideas why? Already calibrated and reset app, etc.

[@gfyracing7632]

Thank you

[@tsewja]

So question if you were to buy it without Bluetooth and need to switch from brushless to brushed you won't be able to use?

[@2fmrc]

Yeah the only way to switch it is through the app. Similar to the castle link setup for the micro sidewinder. Have to connect it to a pc to change from brushed to brushless as well.

[@rhm9178]

🖐️🤠 hi there We recommend when buying any FuriTek ESC for the first time, or your first one, that you take advantage and buy their Combo Options with a Bluetooth Module included; the price structure works out best this way. Check out their website. If you had two crawlers and put FuriTek ESC in both you only need One Bluetooth Module, but will need to plug into the ESC you wish to calibrate and setup the available settings. You can run your crawler with or without Bluetooth Module plugged in; leaving it plugged in only allows quicker settings to be made because it's already plugged in. If you are flush in pocket, buy a Combo ESC with Bluetooth Module for every SCX24 crawler you have! We did, and we wait for them to be released for shipping 🙏 Cheers from 🇬🇧

[@tsewja]

@@2fmrc good deal I was thinking about getting one without prior to being sold out. told myself to save up get the Bluetooth one the second round if they come out.

[@tsewja]

@@rhm9178 thank you. I only have one truck at the moment but I plan to get one more and run the FuriTek in bouth

[@shaneclark5506]

Is the on off switch on the stock esc/rec what turns it off and on?

[@2fmrc]

No it has its own on off switch.

[@shaneclark5506]

@2FM RC thanks brotha

[@donoh3909]

So what’s the deal with the limited supply at furitek?

[@2fmrc]

I think they are just trying to catch up. The had did preorders and sold out those. Just a smaller company trying to get rolling I believe.

[@ccas5047]

Does yours ever get hot after a couple minutes?
