Axial needs to step up it's game, and has been minimally placating the market for a while now. RedCat has raised the bar. Thank you for the video. Only thing is the weights, nah, just can't bring myself to put lead weights on a rig. Never.

I still love the original scx24 because of its size. Would be nice to see a new body and portals on it though. Thanks for checking out the video

[@Sparroh]

What amazing runs. Love the weights, that’s my style for sure.

[@obrothersrc]

[@obrothersrc]

[@Bucky5068]

I got mine out todayand soon after ordered one for my 5 yr old. Its alot of fun especially here in the mtns of NC. I put copper BB's in the rockers.

[@obrothersrc]

Nice tip, great idea i will try that. Thanks for checking out the video

[@Frankredline]

Great video brotha❤

[@obrothersrc]

Thank you, appreciate you checking it out

[@TrokaRC]

Sick upgrades, for me stock with some steel wheels for now. Plastic slides over obsticles just fine. If things break then they'll get upgraded. 👍

[@obrothersrc]

That’s awesome, it Really doesn’t need anything else too be super fun and it’s more capable than most right out of the box. Thanks for checking out the video

[@JS-ji5bl]

I don't think a crawler in it's case will compete with it even ones more expensive from what I've seen anyway I haven't got mine in yet but just from what I've seen it's a Bad little Jewel and now with these mods wow 150 Bucks another wow lol..I hadn't thought of the wheel weights but that's a good idea lol.. Thank you for sharing Bro.

[@obrothersrc]

It def my new favorite 1/18 and you will probably love it. Thanks for checking out the video

[@gibsonlife573]

Something that I have noticed on Portal axles I was running the mofo brass Servo and I feel like anything you put above the center of the axle shaft really does hurt your CG play to each their own everybody finds what works for them I also run one of the little half inch black rubber bands around my shock to kind of keep from unloading too much and I run a shorter shock in the front end

[@obrothersrc]

All very valid points. Thanks for checking out the video

[@thindigital]

Does the motor or esc feel like it's struggling with the brass wheels, I found they were too much for my fcx24

[@obrothersrc]

Not at all

[@Paul-wz1tm]

How about brass wheel hex with a small offset?

[@obrothersrc]

Heres a link amzn.to/3IRRZcw

[@longcrawler]

Bummer, the tires you recommend are currently unavailable...any other suggestions

[@obrothersrc]

Dude i just came in the door from shooting a tire video 😂. It is injora swamp stomper vs little guy swamp king. They both turned out to be awesome. Easily as good as the dj crawler i had on there. Here are the links. amzn.to/3VDSNcn amzn.to/49ezl9o The look almost the same. The only diff really was the price.

[@longcrawler]

@@obrothersrc Thanks Mate

[@thindigital]

Will the battery fit on that plate upfront?

[@obrothersrc]

No, to wide and to tall hits the body

[@CANADIANCRAWLER]

I fit mine up there and used the stock velcro

[@BIKE_BEERS_AND_DEATH_METAL]
