SCX24 Bronco Build Part 10 - Crawler Competition, Full Build Overview, & More!!!

In this video we close out the Axial SCX24 Bronco build series. With the build in a great spot, it was time to see what it could do. In the first part of this video, we journey to Wreckless Hobbies in Wareham, MA for their annual Crawloween event and enter the Bronco in my first ever scx24 crawler competition! Aside from the comp, there were many other amazing things happening at the event. It was amazing to meet subscribers and folks I’ve interacted with through social media. The support and camaraderie in this hobby is truly amazing and I am so thankful to be a part of it. In the second part of the video, I provide a recap of the bronco build for those who have been asking for a comprehensive look at the build. The full parts list will be in the description below. Enjoy!

I love this thing. Honestly inspired my bronco build. I’d like to thing mine is setup very similiar to yours yet doesn’t seem to handle quite as well as yours.

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Awesome video, Adam! That SCX6 Gladiator looked pretty dope! 💪🏻😎

Just watched all the Bronco videos. I had to figure out a housewarming gift for my nephew. 3 SCX24 Broncos 3 upgrade servos Kyosho crawl tiles My boy loved it and his roomie got 1 too. Upgrades are coming together We all get... -brass F diff cover -alloy F Axle -alloy servo mount -alloy shocks -alloy steering links -brass skid -SS hi-clearance 4 links -brass knuckles -steel wheels with F brass rings -PL Hyrax tires Mine will get a few more leftovers from my parts box just because. Thanks for sharing your progress. 👍

Nice little finish to the series. I have learned a lot and owe you the credit. Going forward I would love to see a max smasher build.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! I will definitely build out the max smasher!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I just got my steel gears but haven’t put them in yet. I’m looking forward to that project. Treal is doing great things for the fcx!

[@egibson2266]

Man what an awesome series, and channel. I have been thinking of grabbing one of these for so long, and I finally grabbed a bronco that Santa will bring me for Christmas haha. I love the added details of the hardbody offers. I will be referencing all of these vids when moving forward with mine, and the prices for all the parts is a welcome surprises as I am currently rebuilding and upgrading a vintage Team Associated T2… wow, that’s gets expensive.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy the bronco! I came from modifying real jeeps so I felt the same when upgrading these. $20-$100 for a good mod, sign me up!!

Man the Bronco has come a long way! That event was really cool, congratulations on your victories! I really enjoyed this series building along with you, my Bronco is so much better now for it. Thanks for another great video Adam, take care!!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

It sure has. Thanks for sticking around during the series!

[@AddictRC]

Awesome video the scx6 was sick and your crawlers look better in person can’t wait till the next crawl event and for your next video

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I was totally in love with that SCX6. It even had the same wheels as my 1:1 Gladiator!

[@AddictRC]

@@CapeCrawlers oh really no way thats sick

[@cashtangoproductions7308]

Great video and congrats on winning! The only thing missing on the bronco build is to tidy the wires up a bit but otherwise amazing and inspiring build!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! I agree, the wires are a constant frustration

[@R1ftd]

Can you make a video testing if you should take your foams out or your wheels or not and see witch one works better

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes, I can do that. I’ve got to wrap up some other projects first but I can put this in the queue

[@R1ftd]

Here’s my problem I got 42 mm suspension took out the springs. Relocated them to the chassis then put 60 mm injpra wheels with injpra snap 1.0 rims but the wheels rub and make a clickigg sound -- do I need to fix it -- if I do how.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Clicking sound could be the tires hitting the bumpers. I had to swap out my front bumper for a small one and trim my rear one because I was getting major rub/binding on the bumpers.

[@R1ftd]

@@CapeCrawlers that’s what I did. Just it hasn’t game yet

[@mark.scale.models]

Congrats on the win Adam! Nice run with the Bronco, looked like a great time. You had me at "Ware-Ham" 😎

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! Too bad the comp wasn’t in Sandwich, which is right next to our town 🤣

[@sameold77]

Do you ever sell any of your RC trucks? I would like to buy this Bronco to match my red 1/10 Bronco. Great stuff.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Occasionally I do. I may sell some this winter to make space for new projects. I’ll put up a post if/when I do

[@sameold77]

Great. I will look for that.

[@captainkidd1329]

I could never understand the RC Drift scene it seems like there is more spin outs and wall slams than anything

Just got a bronco and bought most of the stuff on your build list. Can’t wait the mail this week!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Awesome! Enjoy!!

[@travis3567]

Hey brother, I’m looking for some advice. I ordered the bronco SCX24, injora beadlocks with tires, topcad brass +5 mm hex counterweights, emax analog servo with metal arm and tray, aluminum injora steering links and 2x 11g diff covers. I’m going for a beginner crawler build. I’m planning to do high clearance links, motor, axles, and brass wheel inserts in a few months once this initial build gets boring. Shopping for shocks now too

[@CapeCrawlers]

Sounds like a fantastic start! Happy to help any way I can!

[@harrypoon2438]

Would a 1:76 scale crawler be possible? (4wd, good torque and suspension travel, etc..) Edit: I know I probably have to build that by myself

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’ve seen enough in this hobby to know that anything is possible!

[@greanbeanrc6888]

Do a dually build with the c10

[@CapeCrawlers]

My son would love that.

[@MMRCx]

I wish my country had events like this, all the stuff I like, drifting, crawling.. do you have issues with the bronco doing vertical climb? What’s the sharpest angle you can climb with it?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I haven't measured it's maximum, but I estimate it's somewhere around 55 degrees. It can climb the chute on my indoor course, which tops out at 52 degrees. It struggles on vertical obstacles like rock ledges because it will flop over backwards in those situations.

[@WillPangle]

Hey Adam love your videos! What shock spacers are you running? I can’t mount my shocks to the frame without bending them with my super 8’s.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! These are from Grizzly works RC on Etsy. The flex extensions he makes come with the spacers and thats what I am using here.

[@MH-bc5si]

How do you stop chassis twist from the torque of the komodo? I build an almost identical setup and it twists the chassis pretty bad.

[@CapeCrawlers]

With no springs in it and sitting bottomed out it doesn't twist too terribly. But stiffening up the suspension and/or links can help mitigate that

[@KingDracSiege]

The only thing I dislike about expanding foam is that it looks like dried and painted dookie. DooDoo crawling

[@CapeCrawlers]

LOL this is true

[@jasonleslie5379]

I keep running into servo vs frame rails binding. I'm thinking, nip the frame, body mount the bumper. ? But that might require body clips, not magnets/velcro. Thoughts?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Have you trimmed the ears on the servo? You shouldn’t have to trim the frame itself. Clipping the servo ears and sanding them down worked for my builds. The bronco stuck pretty bad initially

[@jasonleslie5379]

@@CapeCrawlers nipped the ears asthma night. I'm going to lube it next run. Haha

[@andrewrichey7374]

Broncos looking awesome, love my little red bronco it is 94% mofo RC all of his brass parts, I have thought about looking at a set of those axles housings. Appreciate you Sharing will catch you on the next one

Nice, you just came up on recommended... I live on the Cape as well and race at Wreckless... Just got back into RC after 30 years or so away. I'm just into 1/10th scale carpet racing right now but I like these mini crawlers and such. I was going to go to the event but ended up not making it. Nice channel you got going on here!

[@CapeCrawlers]

We should meet up some time! I found some other folks from the cape up there and they recommended some spots around Yarmouth to try.

what a sick hobby shop, man I wish we had something like that in western WA congrats on the win! love the channel and I fully blame you for getting me into small scale crawling 😅

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! Wreckless is amazing. I will shoulder that responsibility and will continue to be an enabler for your new addiction 🤣

[@captainkidd1329]

I think your boy was more interested in the beat up rusted square body

[@CapeCrawlers]

[@kendietz355]

how much money do you think you spent on the bronco over all?

[@basc5026]

Outstanding Bronco CC! With all those part I’m surprised you use the stock plastic skid and didn’t give it the red injora skid to go with the injora red links I feel you’ve done a lot with the SCX24 trucks so I would like to see you build a 24 scale buggy Congratulations on 1st place! 🎉

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I honestly never thought about the skid. It would be a nice finishing touch though! I would also like to do a buggy, possibly a mini rock bouncer!

I love your rigs definitely inspiring me to build one like yours as you can see mine in my profile picture not as articulated as yours but still super fun I'm from Plymouth Mass my brother lives in Wareham currently live in San Diego thanks again for making the sweet videos keep up the good work have a cool day

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!! Enjoy your build! If you’re back in Massachusetts hit me up!

Great video as always. Definitely some of the best 1/24 scale content. My OCD appreciates the structured aspect of the vids. I like the bronco, but snaggletooth is right on. Pins and 4ws for the win!

What a nice end to the Build Series. I watched them all and took a few ideas on what i would like to achieve. Thanks for explaining and showing things so clearly!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@XtrmTJ97]

Do you find that the flex blades unload unexpectedly?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Only if I have them too tight or if the screw holes aren't sufficiently big enough to allow for free movement. Sometimes they would stick and then suddenly release. Not sure if that's what you're experiencing. But if they're dialed in, I feel like they work fine.

[@XtrmTJ97]

@@CapeCrawlers Thank you for your response. Personally I found them to unload unexpectedly and caused me to flop over. I will work with them some more and see if I can get them to work. Thanks again.

Amazing series! Learned so much from you. Congrats on the comp win and keep crawling Adam!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! It was a great way to end the build series.

[@GeezerGramps]

I like to see what you could do with the TS1 chassis, it’s 3d printed. You can buy it printed or the stl file f print it yourself. It’s designed to use a JLU but my buddy build his with a Deadbolt. It comes with links so really doesn’t matter what you start with. I’m building mine using a Proline Powerwagon body. Pretty interesting design. I saw the little guy eyeing the monster trucks did he get a new one?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Do you have a link to that chassis? No new monster trucks for Axel, but Christmas is coming, so we’ll see!

[@GeezerGramps]

I drove mine Friday night for the 1st time. It handled amazing well with very few mods.

[@joseramos1301]

Just an idea for content. You can do a video putting the stock fcx24 portal axles on the new 1/18 scale jeep you got as a price. That let's you other links and shocks to upgrade that jeep. I have one and it's one of the best electronics of that 1/18 scale line up. Looking forward to content on that jeep.

[@joseramos1301]

Let's you put*

[@CapeCrawlers]

That's a great idea. I honestly never even thought about modifying this new one, but since it's made by FMS I can see the opportunities available for parts swapping.

[@HobbyPerfeXion]

Great vid series. Took quite a bit from this. Might have to take a ride to Wareham sometime and check out that hobby shop. I went to one in Fitchburg a couple of weeks ago. Wasn't a great experience but I'd give them another go at some point. Wareham is a bit of a haul for me, but looks like it might be worth the trip.
