SCX10ii Cherokee XJ Axialfest Build! | SET-UP TIPS & UPGRADES

[@luckyjhagra6020]

Magnetic body modification is kick ass. I want to do that for every new vehicle. It’s very clear you do great work and love this hobby. Thanks for all your videos.

[@RCGirl]

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah the magnets are great. I'll have to see how they hold up to tumbling off rocks 😆

[@offthewallhobbyman6978]

Wow! You did an amazing job on this Axial, one of the best that I've seen. I'm all about things being perfected and you killed it!

[@drjavogel]

Hey Hayley, looking forward to Axialfest and seeing you there. Your RC looks sweet.

[@RCGirl]

Awesome!! See you there.

[@outbackrcaustralia4895]

Thanks for the explanation of brushless and brushed, 1st time I've seen a video explaining the difference. Thanks 🍻🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@CasperRc81]

You will love that motor I ran a 3100kv it had the best low end feel I’ve experienced and the power I miss it.

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Love the info Haley! I'm a castle mamba X guy! But always love seeing what else is on the market. Rig is killer! Looking forward to axial fest vids! Right on!

[@brokennib1]

Truck looks great! I hope to see you at Axialfest!!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Best of luck at Axial Fest! Alas my daughter is off for the Summer, so papa is on theme park duties with her!

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

Fantastic Fantastic,this was a very clear and well put togther video. I enjoyed every single minute. Look at it man NICW WORK!!

[@davideverson92]

Love that motor; my new fav. Great build RC Girl!

[@voyager1145]

Best of the best SCX10ii

[@wackyrc1394]

This enthusiastic lady is 'one of the boys' for sure!

[@tomandrews5392]

Looks really cool ...keep up the good work RC Girl

[@KineticTaco]

So much attention to every little detail it’s crazy. And you take the time to make sure your brows are on point!! It’s one or the other for me😂😂

[@bengtmowitz5012]

I really like your work, it's the most instructive videos out there.

[@rud3y1]

Great vid! Just a little shock tip tho: preload shouldn't really be used to change ride height, it's real use is to let the shock have full travel without bottoming out - set your preload so when you drop the truck from an inch or so off the ground the shocks almost bottom out but stop just shy. To change the ride height you can change the shocks for longer/shorter bodied ones for larger height changes, and get aftermarket shock mounts with multiple mounting points for smaller changes. If you use preload to set your ride height then your truck will be stiff when you raise it and soft when you lower it, and if you think about it thats just not how your shocks are meant to work.

[@rud3y1]

@Rc Guru I do wonder which is more ironic your statement or your name.

[@RCVOODOO]

Rig is looking great, 👍 Looking forward to axial fest videos for sure. 💯

[@STEVOD313]

Mr.98210, I didn't know u had online store??? Maybe u can give me the rc fam discount for interior on my K5 (veterra body) TRX4, I need a roof rack for it too. 311 out! LOL

[@RCVOODOO]

@@STEVOD313 email me the dimension of the roof

[@RCVOODOO]

@Epic RC Video Productions thanks bud 👍

[@alanhafer828]

You did a great job! Looks awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing the winch installed. Another great video from the Rcgirl ! 👍👍👍🙏😁

[@graymatter45]

I did that kit with brushed motor still works great. I want to do the Unimog next . Those wheels are beautiful. Great looking truck should perform great too.

[@swiftbear]

I've never seen this channel before this just came up in my recommended, and I swear that thumbnail i thought that was a real Jeep.

[@RCGirl]

😁

[@rickbachman993]

WOW, you have built one Sweet Rig!! Did your homework for shore. Have a blast at the fest! It's on my Bucket list 😁. I'm on the East coast with my ole Recon G6. LOL. ✌️

[@jkclawncareandlandscape5880]

I did the same thing with the hex adapters . Start with one the same size as the hole . And make sure to put the rim in a vis to hold it for you and slow is key

[@jtmchannel7640]

“I don’t have a mask handy” well that’s a quote of the past... great rig, love it.

[@JohnnyG95660]

I really enjoy these videos. Sometimes it’s like your speaking German because I don’t know what the heck some stuff is. But it’s super interesting.

[@cmulder002]

The "pre tinning" of the motor terminals show the tin in a round ball on top of the metal. This is a indication of a "cold joint" as a result of the metal not getting hot enough. The resulting joint is brittle and unreliable. Few steps to avoid this; get the biggest size soldering tip that fits your iron and change the tip depending on the kind of work you are going to do. The additional mass will store more heat giving more power to heat up the part you want to solder. A good joint has it edges flowing outwards not looking like a drop of water with surface tension. Also avoid inhaling the smoke even its the the soldering tin is the zinc tin alloy (instead of lead tin) the burned off flux is still not healthy. If you use lead based soldering "tin" inhaling is even more dangerous (potential brain damage in extreme cases

[@FateGathersStudios]

Absolutely, and flux is your friend...

[@allmightygreat1892]

Use a window fan sucking air out from the solder work away from your face.

[@павелскляров-ъ7и]

As always, everything is fine. Good luck.

[@andyrichey1192]

Wow you did amazing job on your rig , I enjoyed this video a lot , again appreciate you sharing

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

Awesome job! Looks great! Can't wait to see the Axialfest videos!

[@andyrichey1192]

You're the man RC girl !! That is awesome I have the Earth magnets yeah I need a bag of those , appreciate you sharing, your rig is looking awesome, those are pretty cool looking rims, i'll be watching for more

[@1982pantro]

AWESOME RIG!! I am currently upgrading a cheap crawler (Wlt 12428)to get my 13 year old daughter involved more in rc. We watch all of your videos. 🤘🤘 GREETINGS FROM ARIZONA 🌵🦂🌞

[@RCGirl]

So great to hear about your daughter!! Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@scotfirehamer4247]

Nice job One of these years I’m going to make it to Axial Fest😎

[@mtbhux9711]

Great job on your videos! Really informative and enjoyable. Been doing this for a while and still learn a lot from watching your vids.

[@edwardtomczyk1139]

That’s definitely an amazing Rig, wish I could make it to axial fest to see it first hand . Have a great time !! 👍👍

[@TheFlynryn]

Going to axialfest, drv a few different rigs but I built a greatfull dead FJ 40 rig for the fest. See ya on the trail

[@michigander9957]

I'd personally love to see your rig.. sounds sweet

[@TheFlynryn]

@@michigander9957 she's got a sweet sound system and Rock's the dead.you going to axialfest?

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Looking very cool. You can spend a fortune hopping up these things!

[@RCGirl]

Right?! When I was searching for parts for the Xj, it was hard to tell if the parts were for a full size jeep or the scale jeep. Prices aren't too different!!! ;)

[@jeffdeale1353]

Nice name gonads

[@kryos0627]

Siccc!!! I just finished my trx-4 sport, just heard about axial and wana do xj kit! You did an amazing job!!! I wana learn how to wrap my rc bodies.

[@3vil8unny]

Great video stepper drill bits are also amazing makes life so easy

[@raptorcrazy9545]

Great job rig is looking really nice can't wait to see some videos from RC festival to if possible

[@arlo12345678910]

Sick truck! Nicely done on all the mods. I love the scale detail and am going to do the magnetic lid attachment right away. Hate digging for clips!

[@ssrc30]

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it run.

[@nickthegrip7821]

Good job, looks awesome can’t wait to see it in action.

[@LRCR]

That really Turned out Great.. Lot's of FUN watching your build up of this Axial/Cherokee 😎👍👍

[@VoltmasterDe-Modellbau]

We love your videos! Really well done, great explained, great cut, ... there is a lot of attention to detail inside. We are looking forward to many more videos of you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@johngrant1337]

It looks super cool

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

Sweet job & looks wicked as always. I can't make it but have a blast at Axial Fest

[@daveherron]

Im not an expert by any means but some sand paper to those motor terminals before hand helps the solder stick. I used to build my own NiCd / NiMh battery packs back in the day and at first could never get it to stick without getting it way too hot. Also flux helps not just the flux core but painting actual flux on the terminals. Nice build!

[@a-a-ron5911]

Love your videos keep up the fun and informative content! Thanks. Just as an aside the 1/8th scale motors (4268) are 6 pole and more efficient when you run a sensored setup however they are a lot heavier so the cg is affected considerably. But I love being able to go a mile or more on a 2200mah pack and over 4 miles on my 8000mah. Who says hiking can't be fun.

[@thomasgross8289]

Just 4 on 8000? I get nearly 6 on a 5000

[@Ntyuask]

Another great video! Thanks for the in depth look at your rig! I just finished up my trx4 Sport Unassembled Kit build and am thinking a SXC10 ii is next on the list 🤔 .

[@rw2king]

Excellent detail keep up the great vids..

[@svenmaier2402]

Looks better than a real Jeep I must say. Very good job!

[@haydenbarrow9603]

Find some shims to go between the hex nut pins and the bearing to pick up the wheel slack makes the rig feel more stable

[@arturoesquivel6625]

Would like to see white lettering on those tires. Really makes them pop.

[@dtpcustomsrc4851]

Love the wrap. I'll be there, interview me! :) Rig looks awesome, nice job!

[@kevinj5293]

Great video hayley good work truck looking awesome. 👍

[@stevenf0]

I liked everything in this video. Very nice! 😎👍

[@fernsolo]

Awesome details on that rig, excellent work 👍🏼

[@HobbyPerfeXion]

Great video! Lots of useful info here - stuff I've been looking to do to my SCX10II Cherokee. Earned a sub from me for this series. Your style in video and rc education is great!

[@1s.e.c.racing304]

Another great video!!

[@mikej8832]

If you end up having to enlarge a lot of holes look into step drill bits. They are multiple sized drill bits in one and some step up sizes by 1/64's of an inch. Harbor freight sells them in a 3 pack.

[@woodland_rc4712]

Nice job explaining everything clear, even the small details. Not everybody does that. Thank you. No venting the tires?

[@RCGirl]

No venting, beadlocks seal them off. Plus I drive in water

[@JosteinBakklund]

That is a tough and good looking jeep, Hayley. I am concerned about one thing though. I would strongly recommend to use heat shrink tubing to insulate and protect the soldered connections, in case one of them should ever break loose. Cold joints is a common soldering problem, causing unreliable joints. Some extra insulation can help avoid short circuits, and a possible fire, in case one of the connections should breake loose. There is also a lot of guides to excelent soldering on the Internet, helping you to achieve the ideal solder joint.

[@beastmodedad1608]

Great video! Always enjoy watching your channel keep it up! 🔥💪🏼💯☀️

[@RCGirl]

Thanks!!

[@SidneyFreedman]

Very nice build. I always wanted to do one of those, but what $$ i have is in my '99 Cherokee Xj that I've had for 18 years. And yeah, it's lifted, on BFG KO2 MTs. Only things yours is missing, to scale, is exhaust, gas tank (plenty covered with skid) and the customary Rust, lol. In all honesty, it looks awesome!

[@RCGirl]

Thanks!!

[@CaliCoastRCFPV]

Looks great with the extra width!

[@mtgoat4434]

Killer looking Jeep

[@Jjcustomsllc]

AXIALFEST 2019 🎉. We will 👀 there 😁

[@RCGirl]

Can't wait to see your UMG!

[@Jjcustomsllc]

@@RCGirl Right on 💪

[@corabbring8198]

Hé RC Girl, thanks for the great explanations. The car looks great. Have fun!

[@quickguesswho]

I got this same body for my TRX4 kit. looks good

[@TrevorWhalen13]

Very impressed and such a clean build wow

[@JK-qv8sv]

GRC makes a 3d printed part that covers the hole in between the rear fenders, ads a bit more strength to the chassis as well as scale appearance

[@arcterus01]

Holmes Hobbies Revolver is a brushless sensorless motor that doesn't cog and has great low speed control and awesome torque.

[@kingscott1002]

Jeeps looking good! I’m pretty confident those tires your using are the axial kit tires. The Proline’s look a little different on the sidewall and are a bit smaller in overall height.

[@RCGirl]

Ha! Probably. Thought they were spec'd with proline tires 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Simplicity1207]

Wow i have scx10ii jeep wrangler but i think imma get this body too. This set up looks awesome!

[@jered2177]

Aww a cute little fan,nice rig.

[@michaelchoate2810]

I know you talk rcs slot so I just wanted to share how someone described cogging to me to help me understand it as it may help others. Basically imagine pedalling your bike where the freewheel is kinda grabbing half the time so it's not very controlled. With that I was able to picture the rotor slipping as cogging does

[@TU154B1]

The motor solders are cold, you must heat a bit more and allow the solder to flow to have a good reliable solder joint.

[@henrockmarte187]

Do you know what would be the perfect advanced set up for a 1:10 scale JJrc willy’s Jeep?,I love that you know the flaws to just about every part that goes into an rc vehicle!

[@spydergs07]

One bit of advice for soldering. Heat the wire or pad up and touch the solder to the wire or pad instead of the solder tip.

[@eddiecastro5088]

A cute little fan hmm never seen one those before

[@RCGirl]

haha!

[@lopatovich]

I wonder if fan blades broke due to mud, sand and little rock bits

[@adamh9077]

Omg....found my new favorite channel! Beautiful girl and knows the hobby! 😍

[@scottopsahl3205]

Nice! A lot of great upgrades... My favorite though is the Coleman cooler.

[@RCGirl]

Right?! ☺️

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Car ESC's look so fancy in comparison to most plane ESCs

[@RCGirl]

Haha so true

[@hershinnypirate69]

I need to get my xj up and running

[@RcHobbySteve]

Looks amazing!

[@D.J_RC]

Great job... and thank you for the bloopers at the end. 😂

[@malitkies]

Looking good so far. Just an fyi, there are some uncensored motors that work wonderfully in rc rigs with the correct esc. One setup I can think of off the top of my head is Holmes hobbies revolver motors and a castle sw4.

[@albertosuarezrabadan9600]

Good Job RcGirl!!! 😘

[@davidmussack4529]

Where did you get the scale license plate? Really cool video, lots of ideas there.

[@RCGirl]

A few people make them but Im getting new ones from krawler konceptz. Reach out to them on FB facebook.com/krawlerkonceptz/
