It had a mini komodo before i sent it, but i know you love under powered brushed motors so i swap it. Im glad you loved the esc motor combo! 🤣🤣🤣 all joke aside, i appreciate you trying it and i appreciate also the good things tou had to say about it! Wifey 8/10 help making me feel better . So thank her. Love ya, peaceeeee 👋🏻

@@victorvargas5715 great build! I'm not great at scale details, and I'm trying to learn. It's hard for me too because i lean towards performance... so hard to get that balance between scale realism and strict performance! I've never found that balance.

Dope build Vargas. I think it performed excellent considering all the scale add ons. Nice work!!

The truck is beautiful. I love the looks of it. I understand that it’s not as fluid is a better build, but a lot of us cannot afford hundred dollars sitting under the body of a shelf queen. But as a driver, I can see how frustrating that would be. But what I’m saying is I would still give the truck a 10 because it’s beautiful, and I would just put it back on the shelf.

[@alansmith9877]

Best BRUSHED set up/combo i have found is the red or purple LGRP motor with stock v2 electronics you can just gradually and slowly give it throttle when need and it does awesome closest thing i have found to brushless performance without spending brushless money

[@alansmith9877]

@24yep i do have a question for you that may be a good video topic..... I have been wanting to do a hardbody for my gladiator platform but want something pretty tough because i am tired of spending money on lexan bodies and trying to repair them when they break...... My question is in your experience for a hardbody do you recommend 3d printed or, a store bought kit/toy body??

[@nickmyers5036]

Lookin sick!!! Those wheels are a perfect fit

[@JamesDirtRC]

My stock wpl was Horribly like that. First thing i did was change electronics an get 30a esc. IT CRAWLED ... Now it has 60a esc an 370 motor 1500mah battery i made. Now it Crawls up a ledge LOL haha. That was first thing that drove me crazy was the throttle when i started RC. Love the Look. It is a Shelf queen.

[@gb.crawler]

Injora red motor with the MB100 delivers a great and cheap slow crawl.

[@darrinfraser]

It looks great and yes, a brushless would have made that a much better experience. It did crawl nicely though for what it did do.

[@demantoid418]

Shes looks great love the tires and wheels. Could use some real power. Thanks 24YEP

[@MrsRabbit8]

Little Johnny: "Mommy, i can't make it drive good." Mommy: "It's okay dear, at least it looks good.." 😂😂😂😂 Kidding! Mostly kidding. Okay I'm gonna have to create the Anti Shelf-Queen Brigade! Hehehe There are some things that can be done to help this rig perform better. If that spare (definitely looks cool) has a metal clamp ring, you could replace it with a plastic one. Stiffen the rear shocks. Get a brushless system. Lose the wheelie-bar / spare tire. Oh, oops i already addressed the spare. That thing looks great, and it performs better than many. I suck at bodies, and scale stuff, so disregard what I've said! 😊

@@maxwellwills1816 Maxwell! I still remember your bug! That thing is sick, and just like what i would build, with the X15 axles (one of my favorite). I'm still waiting on a set of sliders from Mazz for this hotrod body, and then i should be set (3weeks to 4weeks). It's a Mazz V2 short, with Gladiator links, a Cedar, big oil shocks, and a hotrod body. Should be interesting when it's done i think. Have not tested it yet. I never test before complete, then i try to fix any issues. I hear there is a waiting list, so i guess i should jump on it now, but i am not finished with the build so i didn't want to jump the gun. Now i have another chassis, the Mazz V3 XL, and I'm thinking of doing some crazy stuff with it... Focus focus focus! One build at a time! Lol

[@maxwellwills1816]

Really loving the x15s! I got the heavy brass knuckles, put the c10 front links back on, it had proline big bores on it so I put those back on and she's pretty dialed! Buuut I'm gonna switch it over to the double bends from Mazz once I build them. Feeling like Trey and building one a night(kids keep me busy).Almost wanna send it back for a redemption run! I've got a hardpark vdub dementor chassis with x15s with hardpark wheels buuuut I think the wheels make it tooo wide. Kinda wanna do a brushed set up

[@WombleRCmodelsandhobbies]

Love the bug body 👍 perfect. motor set up could see it more capable . PEACE. !

[@MrNobody0044]

🤩👍 that Bug is uuuuuiiiiiiii 😍

[@JanSonnemann]

I think just a pn-racing 90t motor would do the job. You can even built stronger magnets in it. Lookswise for me the spare-tire is mounted to high and to horizontal. But with a stronger motor it would perform astonishing good!

[@guest6423]

Drop the 'Heavy Duty' and get a black stripe and "Sun Bug" graphics. The '73-'75 Sun Bugs were all gold.

[@victorvargas5715]

Very very good idea thank you, im doing a brushless swap tonight and after that i will email my sticker person the idea 😬 thank you

It's just a shelf queen. No muscle, no flex. 😅

It's the stock ax24 esc that does that

[@MysticRiverRC]

I think it's a great build.... but yeah, if it's in the budget, go brushless.

[@JCab172-pv5zc]

If you never modified a stock truck, you can get along alright with a brushed motor. Start adding weight in any way (hard-body, weights, etc.) with no substantial motor upgrade=frustration.

[@kristianmichels5649]

The injora purple 50 brushed motor does pretty decent on the v2 esc, watching this truck struggle was so bad vs the rigs I've built that are brushed, that being said brushless is king

[@irie_father]

Was recently pondering if brushed motors deliver more scale driving experience even if perhaps not as satisfying as smooth and consistent brushless.

[@EricsRC]

Very cool looking rig! I have a idea for you to ponder... New theme. Fixin Rigs! Bam! We can send you rigs that are complete but need that extra touch from a professional such as yourself. Little things like shock placement or better body mount setup 🤔 You can even test it out on mine!!! 😀

[@24Yepp]

I see what you did there...

[@EricsRC]

@24Yepp Hahaha I don't know what you're talking about

[@Bafcrawler]

Pretty sweet ride, and brushed motors is why my videos arent super smooth.

[@handymanhaynes]

@Bafcrawler well instead of buying silly performance wheels, invest in a brushless system. Trust me the difference will make you never want to go brushed again. 😅 I recommend the new injora purple viper setup. $60.

[@tomwright943]

Cool video and thank you for sharing😎👍seeing all of these bug builds, I'm definitely leaning towards doing a bug build myself👍shame it didn't perform that well. We are having a few issues today, I wondered if you would mind helping us out with some advice please? My son has his birthday rigs now, we have put a couple of packs through them, they was going great, when we woke this morning we fancied a crawl, upon our first ascent on our indoor home built course, on one of our centre shafts, one of the 'continuous velocity joint's' collapsed, both pins flew out! They are the Injora stainless steel D shaped hole shafts, we managed to recover all parts that fell off, would you have any good ideas how we could repair them? Or even better...... would you be able to recommend a more reliable set of centre shafts? Perhaps made by a different brand? Any help would be much appreciated. My man is only 5 and he does know that his dad will sort it but he's a little upset right now 😢 I've been thinking about maybe putting them together, clamping them so they stay still then trying to solder/braze the pins into place 🤷‍♂️ I only ask you as I know you use your rigs HARD! and I'm sure you must have had to deal with this type of situation before. Thanks bud👍

[@tomwright943]

Hi 24yep, not sure if you have pressed the read more part on my original comment here. I'm sorry it's a bit long ish. I'm fairly new to the SCX24 scene, so not really sure about the decent/reliable parts to go for, I could really do with your help please bud👍

[@HillbillyHermitRC]

​@tomwright943 All you really need to do to fix that pin issue is glue them in place with some CA/Super glue. Some have used heat shrink. Others have used a center punch to mushroom the pin to lock it in place. Glue is the easiest fix IMO.

[@tomwright943]

@@HillbillyHermitRC thank you bud 😎👍I'll give that a go. Do you know of any more reliable centre shafts on the market? Cheers👍

[@HillbillyHermitRC]

@tomwright943 Sorry, no experience with any other manufacturers driveshafts. I only run the "d-hole" Injora driveshafts. I've only had to glue one pin out of 7 upgraded rigs.

[@tomwright943]

@@HillbillyHermitRC thanks me old bud and thank you for the advice 😎👌I've glued my boy's back in now, it's working a treat 😆 I must admit that I was a little dubious about using the C.A. liquid glue (as I'm very clumsy with it) in the end, I went for the gorilla 'gel' alternative, and applied it with a pin, it's holding up really well 😎👍 On my rig, I use those shafts too, a few months ago, I did have a pin slip, I squeezed it back in with pliers, the tolerances seem tighter on mine and it's not slipped again😎👌if it does move though, at least (using your advice/technique) I'll be able to sort it fairly quickly now 😎👍 I did message injora with photos and they gave similar advice that you had given. Again thank you, my son thinks I'm a hero again😆👍

Beetles are probably optimal for comp; it seems like they'd tend to land on their wheels, and avoid snagging on overhangs. That said, I don't like them, because people haven't, and generally don't, build them as 1:1 crawlers. My Pros: It's a fun build, and gives props to Satan. Cons: It's really noisy.
