Put your friends LCG Cheater to shame - Dlux Pro MOA - Episode 1

[@shawndoucet4751]

i cant seem to find a vid of u running it seems like u didint post an update about this moa :(

[@gsrkila]

What happened to episode 2?

[@trailcrawler2038]

Where is part 2?

[@kenricknelson310]

I didn't know Aaron Rodgers was into crawlers🤔🤔🤔I knew he was one of my favorite Quarterbacks for a reason 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯

[@crc_fab2372]

Hell yeah! Been waiting for this series. Throw all the "cheater" rigs in the trash for some real performance ;)

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

All these scalers aren’t looking much like scalers anymore anyway!

[@mustclime5311]

This build would result in divorce. $1100 for the basic kit.....

[@godackgudalach1]

Divorce? Mine would put me under the stairs to starve to death ☠️

[@czebalaf]

We need a new episode😎

[@mrbutchee1]

No follow up vid?

[@466rudy6]

I found a video that he got caught cheating in competition 😢

[@mrbutchee1]

What really?

[@mrbutchee1]

What? Really?

[@RockGoatRC-ql1my]

great video!!! what happened to this build?

[@kdf1369]

I was thinking "Minute of Angle" at first...maybe I should spend a bit less time shooting and more time on RC lol

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

When I was researching optics for my first build back in the day I was always thinking motor on axle instead of minute of angle. I obviously don’t get to spend enough time at the range anymore.

[@eskor-h3518]

Motor on axel. What is IOW?. So next hype thing 1/24 moa rig?

[@danielgriffin983]

I've been running a Bully2 from RC4WD for about a year now and would definitely like to see how one could mix the throttle to under/overdrive. Currently have it done with tuning in each individual ESC. Great video! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@brianginn6354]

Seems like we've been here before. My issue with MOA is unless you have some really challenging terrain they're just not a lot of fun. There's no challenge on basic courses where center drive trucks have to plan and execute your lines well. For many of us we just don't have the type of terrain available to make MOA a lot of fun. Hence why I sold my XR10 after only 6 months. Think this is similar reason I see many barely used SCX6s for sale, just not enough challenge to be fun.

[@Kburn1985]

Downgraded my scaler for the exact same reason. Stripped away everything unnecessary, lcg rails, ultralight body, etc. Could get up everything that wasn't steeper than 80 degrees, boring as, completely stopped playing for a year. Reset to the original much heavier body, took out lcg rails, added original parts back, added a lot more scale elements, added lights, little accessories. Crawls much worse, but much more fun. A lot of obstacles actually require skill, momentum, timing, going slow, going fast, finding the best lines. Cheater rig had 0 skill.

[@FatherDaughterRC]

I can only try to understand about not having the terrain to make capable rigs fun.

[@MatthewJorgensen1968]

My first rig was actually a MOA. A Redcat RS10, but still a MOA, it was cool the way it worked. I turned it into a 6x6 and sold it.

[@snorrevonflake]

Oh damn, thats pricey. And i hesitated while looking at the RC4WD Bully, this is almost three times that much.

[@shadowbird]

Just wondering, I would really like to purchase one completely built ready to go because I’m 70. I don’t have the patience to build them anymore. Please send the link here.

[@ofirgeneemail]

What's the required pinion module to match the transmission gear ?.....

[@backupplan973]

Brings back memories of 20 years ago when we used to mod clodbuster axles..

[@mikelamb5061]

Thanks for breathing life into 2.2 pro

[@RenoLaringo]

It's nice but I guess that for this kind of money that would be the least you could expect...

[@kylewalker1703]

I am definitely going to love this series thank you for doing this I've always wanted to build one of these

[@jimmyhaley727]

$1200.00 to crawl over a rock???? some folks got tooo much money to waste

[@brianclark8551]

Hey I know this is older but is this type of comp style very popular now adays and what do I Google to find out if there is any n Ohio thanks Sorry for the newbie questions but I find these to be very interesting since I laid eyes on one

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I was able to pick up a used XR10. Full rebuild in the works (stock parts are increasingly hard to find but not impossible), including a bunch of parts from Dlux Fab. Love the performance of the MOA, just a whole different beast!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m excited to drive it again! Hopefully it’s like riding a bike!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

@@HarleyDesignsInc Should be a fun series, looking forward to it, as well!

[@sjoerddejonge4080]

an lcg aint a moa there diffrent classes and one moa axle is just as expensive as two lcg axles. al depends what your williing to spend i guess

[@tonyspencer4379]

How is it a "truck"? You can't help your friends move with that thing! Pretty freaking neat!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I always call rigs cars and people yell at me for that too! 😁

[@jimselvage8646]

Motor on axle, what do I win??? Lol

[@Falterbotica]

I order me not to do this ever.

[@snorrevonflake]

Never made it to an Episode 2 ??? Did it ever run ?

[@philthy5058]

Minute of angle

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

My second favorite meaning of the acronym.

[@MrCveedub]

Curious as to why you did not continue with this rig

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Move over, a-hole? JK. I, for one, am so damn intrigued by MOA rigs. Any chance Vanquish is going to do a chassis at some point? Seems like the market is wide open for them right now.

[@nicholasgosselin7709]

I cant wait to see that "robot" perform! I'll probably get one sooner than later!

[@alanhelps6789]

The old Harley is back.

[@thomrose9119]

Just what my son and I are looking for

[@propz0ut545]

Moa stands for “minute of angle” in my world lol

[@derekhell666]

its like a battlebot without weapons

[@reddeerrebelrc6674]

Moa is straight up pull your Man card...

[@rcjoe406]

Uhh I thought it meant...Money out of account lol

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

There are multiple moa. Meanings

[@Evolution8R]

yes you need to glue those into place, tiny dab of shoogoo/E6000 between the cone and rod end, mines lasted since 2011! Didn't i get those from you/Vanq back in the day? Kitty Butt Challenge..... $100 says my old POS XR10 will come in higher in the Finish than the new rig your driving, Bully axles Vs. Axial axles. What do you say? Challenge Accepted?* *This Challenge is mostly for fun, but we will exchange $.

[@stevenlee6202]

Wooooohoooooooooooooooo inwatched the whole thing

[@RS-sv3bl]

want want want. Stop spending my money!

[@themountain59]

Fun/price ratio is very bad compared to a cheater...just saying 😎

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

A cheater that’s built with all the best parts will not be far off from one of these. You can build an MOA cheap just like a cheater if you want as well.

[@dzphotographic]

Looking to get into MOA’s. Kind of a newbie to competitive crawling. Scale stuff doesn’t intrigue me at all. Any tips for where to start?

[@rileykairc]

Over the last few years I have wanted to build an moa,but I have been to scared to its mainly the electrics set up,I have built 3 lcgs 1 is a 4ws which I have really enjoyed,I am planning 2 more lcg builds and then I will do a moa build then panic when doing the electric set up,as where I live there isn't any moa comps or any other comps I will only be using it for fun like all my other RCS,love the videos please do a video on how to set up the electrics in detail

[@bradchenoweth7584]

Minutes of angle. Also known as 1/60th of a degree. A common unit of measurement used in shooting, but also used in some other facets of engineering, construction, ect. My guess is what you're referring to is RC related though. lol

[@jcfish847]

Can you please show more about the wheels, or lack there of. Is ot just a rim face with no barrel?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It’s pretty wild. I may grab another set to have another set of tires and if so I’ll do a video.

[@z50king29]

Dang I haven't built a comp crawler since 2013. Looks fun to watch

[@kloudkreeper]

When the hobby is no longer about simple fun...

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

People have fun in different ways. These types of trucks were hugely popular before the Scale market took off like it had in the last 10 years.

[@Lemonbangoreo]

That’s a nice build

[@Just_Wimski1130]

Yes happy to see this returning!!! I still own my axial xr10 and a enrout berg, your build looks alot like the berg. Have a nice crawl, greeting from Wim

[@vaa1976]

Awesome!! Can’t wait to see what you do with the radio and also what size and where you run the battery. I just programmed my 4PM and 7PX to my Bully. I think I got it right but it’ll be nice to see how you do it. The issue I’m running into is my battery. I have a 3s 850mah Tattu battery and my driver side tire rubs when I turn

[@michslisconstantinou1388]

I want to ask you bro is it possible to fit hobbywing 1080 esc to bully 2? Thank you 🙏

[@johnslawnseasttn4489]

At one time a euro company made parts to take losi worm axles to moa. I had the kit but never built it. Eventually sold it. Regret that decision greatly

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

moa isnt a new thing not even a year ago it is old the first crawler i build had moa axles way back in 2004 however dlux makes really nice products u use the drav shocks n their tcases

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I don’t think I posed it as a new thing, I’ve had MOA’s going all the way back to ‘04 as well.

[@jollyjeepertheglen9697]

Where are the follow up videos?? I saved this to my MOA playlist when it was new and...... I need more content to feed on! Haha!

[@ryanuhl9538]

The GT3 is awesome on my MOA THE VOLTS AND AMPS ARE SPECIFIC

[@brucebartlett1950]

I have a berg moa with novack dig metal axle super fun and capable

Minute of Angle , because Firearms are cool

[@ryanuhl9538]

Using conditions on the futaba, how many different over or under drive settings at the push of a button can you have? I think using conditions 4 is the limit?

[@thebigfut]

Just when I thought my r/c urges were under control, you show me this! I've asked about the MOA in the past and now I have to see what money I have spare and where to get this...

[@redndeyes]

Screw what Moa means, what's in your pockets lmao

[@ryanuhl9538]

For the GT3 I made a micro bypass using Holm hobby schmatic

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Why no hangers in the rear.. it would still help...

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Because it’s adding weight where it isn’t needed. You want to keep the trucks as light as possible while moving the center of gravity and weight bias where it’s needed.

[@christophermears7738]

Thanks for sharing this . I've been wanting to build an MOA truck for a minute. I will be ordering this kit

[@timking1050]

Looks berg

[@davidcorbit3931]

That bug has bit me also but somehow missed my wife...love your work !!

[@freddieflanders]

Unfortunately I am aware of what moa means 🤣 Not for me but it’s an interesting build to watch 👍

[@ronaldsummey469]

Bringing back memories..... met you at the Ocoee the second year it was there.

[@wilburbeast1]

very new to rc can you put bb's in the tires or water like a tractor?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

We used to do that way back in the day but it’s not the best method now and isn’t done any longer.

[@adamhenderson3095]

Motor on axle either super cheesy or super gnarly

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

That’s insanely accurate!!

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Question... Why it called 2.2

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The diameter of the tire bead is 2.2”

[@MichaelSmith-yb4ix]

just a VERY OVER PRICED Berg

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I still have a set of brand new berg axles. But I will say I wouldn’t want to try and build a set of bergs to this level. We always ended up have to replace every single part of those axles anyway, and it’s hard to get the hood parts for them now. This is probably a cheaper and certainly an easier setup to acquire.

[@JoseMoreno-be1dt]

What size foams come in the kit? There's 5.5 and 6 on the site.

[@CUFBOOMER]

Hey look 4WD Tamiya Grasshopper 😂

[@billyquist9237]

Best title! I started in the old comp days in 2007 with an original ax10 scorpion 🦂. Don’t listen to Matt l, comp crawling is fun too

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The Scorpion days were good days!

[@wouterb9996]

Is there a rough set of guidelines available for rigs like this? Ballpark values for: Wheel/tire size, wheelbase and width, articulation; lot or less. Stuff like that.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ll try and find the WRCCA rule set and link to it in the next episode.

[@techspeedrc]

Still got my old Berg crawler running a Del Monte chassis. I dug it out last year and cleaned it up, the Panther tyres had split but found you can still buy Hot Bodies Rovers.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Man, Panthers are a throw back!!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Back in the day, these were called clodbusters 😆 In all seriousness, it’s funny to see how Tamiya made an impact on a lot of surface RCs

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yeah we started with clods in the early days of crawling!

[@chrisbumpus9842]

I just realized that alot of the people in rc now probably weren't into it during the clod crawler days.... We're are getting old!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

My first was a TXT crawler, than I had some clods. Yes we’re getting old!

Harley I love this build! Not area I am normally interested in but after seeing this man love it! I can’t wait see you run it! I love the weight for wheels wish they do that styl for our other rc! I got set of club5 foams with weights I know spinning mass but they work good! Harley keep up the great videos bud! I enjoy your channel soooo much! You never lead me in wrong direction! Thank you!!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ve seen those weighted foams, not something I’ve jumped on as it doesn’t seem to fit my style. This definitely a bit of a different level!

[@GazooRC]

I’m also building an Moa right now. Question, do you know if I’ll be able to mix with my flysky gt5 or am I going to have to get something else that will work with the dual esc’s? Those axles are beautiful I wish I found those when I bought mine. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@vaa1976]

GT5 is a great radio for the money but unfortunately it can do dual ESC mixing. I ended up getting a Futaba 4PM and it’s been working well with my Bully 2 so far. Some Spektrum radios will work too The GT5 is now used my by son and also still functioning perfectly

[@GazooRC]

@@vaa1976 I figured as much. Well thank you for the tip bud, just placed my order for a F4PM. 💪🏼

I’ll put a driver in this one just to make Matt’s head explode!

[@trevorthomas6043]

I really looks like the bully.

The theory is the same but they’re pretty different axles. I have a bully 2 front axle here.

[@savagelife977]

Dlux Fab great products I have run their shocks on most of my comp trucks. would love to get one of those super lites some day

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

They’re a pretty rad axle!

[@robbryan3044]

$2,000+...ouch!!! But, for the "top 2% of performance" vehicles, I'm sure it's worth it. Of course, considering I'm thinking about a certain 1/5 Grave Digger, guess $2,000 is a 'deal'...lol

Hell, we have over 2k in a lot of scale builds these days too!

[@robbryan3044]

@@HarleyDesignsInc Oh, I know (so does my bank account...many times over). But, that's after we've added all our 'upgrades'. This is $2,000+ for, essentially, the "kit". At the same time, I'd love to have one. 🤙🏼
