Furitek Scythe Aluminum Frame Kit | Axial SCX24 Deadbolt EP.11

That looks wicked

[@MiguelCortez]

Pretty unique hahaha

Good overview. I agree with you on the looks, and don't know if I agree on Gamy's logic on the larger holes he went with. It really makes it inconvenient for shock mounting unless you use the Carisma shocks or something. FYI - Mofo RC sells micro nuts. I have used those to back up screws on chassis for the shocks.

[@MiguelCortez]

Totally agree with everything you said 👍 I will have to get some of those mofo nuts 🥲

Bro I literally just ordered that purple one and a furitek kit

I like this chassis! Reminds me of the larger comp crawler rigs, which perform amazingly! I'm in the process of building my own Scythe chassis scx24 rig. :) Yes, hmm, looks like that rx/esc combo will have to go. Much can fit in a tight space with enough patience and trial. LOL Place all your electronics where you want them first (without the wires if possible but considering where the wires can run), ideally most dense item down low, then connect the dots w the wiring. Solder directly or crimp new fitting to wire the exact length you need to make the run. Alternatively you can cut the existing excess wires to the ideal length, leaving the connectors on the ends and solder the wires back together, insulating w shrink tube and or kapton tape but it's significantly more bulky in a tight cab. It takes some practice and a little bit to develop soldering skills but is very helpful for a successful and satisfying build. I think it's worth it. Basically, use correct temperature/size iron, keep your tip clean, use enough flux, tin your wire and/or pad first. I recommend 63/37 solder for electronics. **If doing any wiring or soldering on a Li-po battery be sure to work on only one wire at a time to avoid shorts, sparks and potential fire!** There are many soldering tutorials out there. Best of luck!

Great tips definitely requires some patience!

Wow crawler!)🤩💥💯👍👏 Excellent work bro!)💪🙌🤝

Go with a fly sky Gt5 transmitter and receiver, 70$ bucks on Amazon and have micro receivers for 20$

[@MiguelCortez]

I will look into thank you 💪

[@timlocher4829]

Could look into the gt3 from fly sky too cheap and can be modded or bought modded to do just about any

[@mb9996]

The chassis is short in the front to improve servo clearance as well as clearance avoidance in general in the front.. I don't think it was intended to be a show stopper in the looks department but more crawler capable. In my opinion I think it looks just fine.

[@MiguelCortez]

Valid points 👍

[@baxrok2.]

Yeah, it's a purpose build competition chassis and definitely not for beginners. Once you get it built and running you'll appreciate what it can do and it will be money well spent.

[@MiguelCortez]

👍👍👍

[@rcjoe406]

Can you use the stock motor and transmission

[@MiguelCortez]

I’ve seen others try I had issues with fitment

[@rcjoe406]

@@MiguelCortez ok good to know

[@owenbrenton7254]

Would it fit all the stock esc and motor?

[@MiguelCortez]

I was not able to fit the stock esc or motor :(

[@mb9996]

I used a spectrum ar transmitter and even that was too large, amd its a small reciver about half the size. I had to de case it.

[@shooterboyroy3690]

wait the brushless komodo motor works with out stock esc??

[@MiguelCortez]

No :/

[@shooterboyroy3690]

@@MiguelCortez ooh I see your just using the stock transmitter

[@MrMcSnuffyFluffy]

It looks like the frame is on backwards, weird.

[@MiguelCortez]

It does look that way hahah

[@mrbutchee1]

That's how we get scx24's. I would say that was 1/24 porn.

[@MiguelCortez]

?!??? Lol

[@mrbutchee1]

@@MiguelCortez when you crawled the furitek rig on the other rig. I was like great he's gonna have baby scx24's running around. I'm being silly.

[@rekik66]

Honest opinion. You have to respect that. I’m not a fan of the body.

[@MiguelCortez]

A lot of people are not 😭

[@liammcgeath6665]

Im personally not a fan of how it looks either
