[@tiredofinsanity]

Out of curiosity I wonder if it matters what scx24 you use if you are making your own links anyways. The ones we got say to start with a deadbolt but is there any difference in mounting between them? I have an extra c10 still in the box wouldn't mind going buggy with it too

[@2fmrc]

No it don’t really matter what you start with. Mine was a deadbolt and I ended up with custom links and driveshafts anyway. Sorry I didn’t see this sooner!

[@tiredofinsanity]

@@2fmrc 😂 man you pretty much always answer....it's totally not a prob. I turned one of my c10s back into a deadbolt and customized it because of all the extra parts I had laying around. I think I could build another one if I looked in my extras pile. I'm better you probably could too. It was surprising the wheel base difference between all of the 24s...I still haven't opened my Betty yet but I wonder if it's the same as one of the others. You can buy a long travel kit from axial that as far as I can tell didn't come on any of them. It also comes with more of the little joints!

[@rickgranados7844]

What did you do with the wishbone when you stretched the front?

[@2fmrc]

I did away with it. Found some stock links that stretched it out and used them on top to 4 link the front end and then made custom bottom links to match.

[@henriisaacson41]

Would these tires be a good fit for a deadbolt?

[@2fmrc]

Yep! The deadbolt fits them best in stock form. The C10s and jeeps need some major body trimming to fit them.

@@2fmrc Well I was also wondering about options for a scx24 motor other than the barrage motor, are there any you know of?

[@2fmrc]

@@henriisaacson41 at the moment they are hard to come by. My favorite is the Holmes revolver I have in my silver 4ws rig but that motor has been discontinued. They are working on a new one but it hasn’t been released yet. I just ordered another outrunner motor to try but it was a bit too big. Honestly I don’t have a good option besides the barrage at the moment. I’m trying to find something else tho!

[@anthonyrojas9791]

Those are the rc4wd mudslingers. They are the best tire they make imo. They are big though

[@laaronml]

What controller are you running?

[@2fmrc]

I was using the spektrum dx5r on it. Not really a fan of that transmitter honestly. Sold it and run the flysky noble now. Absolutely love it and it does mixing as well so this same setup is possible with it. amzn.to/374d3Nu

[@woutchauvaux6672]

What is the cheapest radio that has the mixing to do dig function? Im assuming the HobbyPorter HP007 can't do this?

[@2fmrc]

To be honest I’m not realt sure. I think most of the spektrum dx series share the same software so I’m pretty sure the dx5c and a few others will do it. Maybe even a dx4s or something? I’d hate to recommend any since I haven’t been able to test them. I just got lucky and already owned the one I used. Wish I could help more but my testing with radios has been pretty limited honestly. Never really needed much more until this idea hit me. I just had the dx5r for my track stuff.

[@stpbasss3773]

Throw some spacers on the front shocks to get them off the frame. Is it hard to learn how to use 4 wheel steering?

Spettacolare...dove si può comprare il chassis tuber di questo bellissimo crawler

[@brianonthego]

That rig looks awesome. I really like the tread pattern on the tires. May I ask the tire and wheel models. I plan to get the white jeep, these tire are probably too tall for the Jeep. Do you have any ideas, possibly smaller diameter tire this tread pattern may fit.

[@2fmrc]

These will fit the Jeep but you’ll probably have to do some cutting on the fenders. I really like the Patagonia’s on my Jeep. They work awesome! The wheels on this rig are the rc4wd competition beadlocks and the tires are the new mudslingers. Have you seen my Jeep setup vid? The Patagonia’s do really well on it. They aren’t as aggressive looking but they do fit the Jeep well.

[@brianonthego]

@@2fmrc I will watch the jeep setup video. I want to do tires and wheels if needed on the jeep and maybe the brass different covers for some low weight. Did you mention the steering servo is a good recommended start? Drove the stock c10 today, I could see steering servo was sluggish.

[@2fmrc]

@@brianonthego yes the servo is a great upgrade to do. You can try glueing the stock servo saver. It makes a big difference in how well the stock one works.

[@brianonthego]

@@2fmrc I just ordered the jeep and a spare battery...now we wait...I will have to find out which brand servo I should get, or just use the stock for a while.

@@brianonthego if you start having probs with the stock servo I’d glue the servo saver and it’ll last for a good bit. The emax es08mdii is a great option for the price.

Love your content👍 And that rig looks awesome and work nice. I like that you have stretch the wheel base, the orange body is great, 4 WS and all of it. I have the SCX4 Jeep. And now after seeing your video, i would like to build one like it. I have the front axial, servo mount, wheels and tires, the servos. So now what do i need completed the build ?

[@tiredofinsanity]

I dig it😂 I tried a few different set ups for links so far and best in the rear is actually a long travel 3 link over 4. Got an axial kit with a long wish bone. The front shocks I totally agree I may make a little plate with a few extra locations. My ultra heavy weights make it feel like it could wheel on the ceiling! I think I remember asking you about the 4ws before on the buggy...now I just want it more so thanks for that 😂

[@2fmrc]

Haha! You sound like me. Now it’ll bug ya until you do it.

[@tiredofinsanity]

Guilty 😂 I'm looking at an xmaxx or a slash right now. I just love the challenge of the little 24 scale. The buggy totally is a game changer it's almost too easy now and my course was almost impossible in some spots walked over easily with just the buggy and stock stuff. My steering is super sloppy in the front so maybe that servo is in my future too. And then might as well use the stock one in the back right?😂

[@Chris-zu8ve]

I have the scx24 deadbolt, i made the front a long arm 3 link from the links provided in the box. just ground 2 ends of links and glued together for a Y link. I am in process of installing a steer axle in the rear and doing another glued Y link for the rear. Just get a bit more flex this way over the rear axle upper link spread mount.

[@Chris-zu8ve]

Also I took most all of the slop from the replacing the ball ends in all the links with a piece of silicone Wire insulation from small wiring scraps. Way better control over wrap and side to side alignment.

[@tiredofinsanity]

@@Chris-zu8ve I found using o rings that fit tightly over the ball joints on the steering cleaned mine up nicely
