The best part was the happiness in his face , Grate job Dad 💪😎👍🇺🇸

[@CapeCrawlers]

Absolutely! Thank you!

Guys like big things . Irresistible !

[@CapeCrawlers]

Facts!

[@TrevorParkJones]

What a cool father and son project! Those wheels and tires are huge, they look good though! Monster trucks are sweet! Thanks for another great video Adam, take care!!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

They are outrageous but that’s part of fun!

[@stefan-norge]

Great, Adam. Very nice to see how you and your son have fun on this little rigs. My girl (2 years) is already driving the stock Rubicon but only forward and backwards. And she does not care at all if there is a wall in front of the rig or not… 😂

[@CapeCrawlers]

That’s awesome! She’ll be a pro in no time!

[@mohinhcute8006]

very nice when I see you and son play together on the rig. its so cute

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I love it when I can get Axel engaged. It makes it so much more enjoyable.

[@CaseyD406]

So glad I found this video. I have been looking for MT tires for a MT build. Thank you!!!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Enjoy! They’re great!

[@chrislilly8657]

The rear steering is a must! I thought it would rub but barely touches when at over flex. Definitely fun build!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Agreed! My only gripe is that I cant get the back to sit as low as I want because the body mounts are resting on the servo. I might have to get creative to make clearance, but it's still super fun nonetheless!

[@D-ayytoodap-yay]

I built a 4ws Betty and painted it like the king sling truck and I liked it but the 4ws took time to get used to it. Now if I want to mess with it I have to play around for a few minutes and get used to the 4ws. I would rather it be front wheel steer only but it’s a shelf queen so I leave it how I originally built it. I’m glad your boy liked his gladiator though. I bet he is better driving 4ws than I am.

[@keithbutler6361]

That was great , lovely to see you with your little boy and both having fun together , stay safe mate 🇬🇧

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! Sharing the hobby with my little guy is the best.

[@GeezerGramps]

Axle is adorable so cool that he’s into RC’s with you.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! I think he mostly humors me, but this one lit him up, which made it awesome

[@GeezerGramps]

My 4 yr old great granddaughter doesn’t like my SCX24 crawlers they go to slow. I’m just getting her to steer the Telton. Axle did seem excited about the monster truck conversion.

[@CapeCrawlers]

@@GeezerGramps my son is the same way: not a fan of slow crawling. That’s why he digs the fcx24 with its two speed transmission so much. But the monster truck conversion got him for sure!!

[@toycoma98]

Why didn't you use ch3 (convenient thumb activated) with the v2? You can adjust trim AND dual rate by double clicking bind twice until it blinks 3 times.

[@CapeCrawlers]

That will work the rear steer on the v2??

[@toycoma98]

@@CapeCrawlers I think so. Its 3 position, left, center, and right. Watch The Shop-Mini RC Hidden Secret! Channel 3 & 4 Trim and Dual Rates / End Points! Even Throttle Dual Rate!

[@ivanrcn5071]

Yes this works. I was wondering why you did that myself. Good work tho and always cool when you can get your kiddos involved. And you could have turned the esc around to connect the short wire servo. Awesome work. Anything to get on the rocks!!!!

[@toycoma98]

@@ivanrcn5071 Also, the Lizard pros come with an extension to use for battery or motor.

[@Matt-it8jh]

Awesome look did 4 wheel steer on my c10 its absolutely awesome. So much fun crab walking it up different obstacles

[@CapeCrawlers]

It’s mesmerizing watching it crab walk! I also find it amazing what it’s capable of crawling over as well. It opens up tons of new lines

[@jonniestrickland]

Loved the vid trying to do a similar build!!! What servo are you using in the front?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! I am running an EcoPower from Amain Hobbies

[@FarmerFpv]

That is super cool! Axell must be into the Monster Jam trucks. I love going to the Colosseum to watch them jump and crush cars.

[@CapeCrawlers]

He totally is. The circuit will be coming back around our area this winter and we are already planning to attend!

[@shockman8014]

As I started to type I noticed in the description I hadn't read, the exact words I was about to type. "fun little project". I saw to axles in this video. One empty of parts and one full of joy.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Super fun! My little guys excitement made it great. He’s the next generation!

[@decoythedad]

Why do you switch to the older electronics?

[@sammiller8497]

Great video Adam love see you and your son into rc,s

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! It’s awesome when I can get him engaged

[@rocasrcmania]

Nice monster truck conversion! I have 4 scx24's and plan on converting one of them into a monster truck. Have fun with your son rc-ing. 💯💯💯💯💯 I just subscribed!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! The monster truck is so much fun. My son loves it! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

[@billymace9151]

The front bumper does it go on with easy or did you have to mod it to fit? Thanks....Keep the Video's going my boy is always watching them and getting him into the 1/24 ..

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! The bumper is super easy to install

[@snörre23]

So cool that you can do this with the stock V1 electronics, i thought you would need some super expensive third party radio control.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes, it’s awesome! The only downfall is that there’s no variable control. With the switch it’s full steer or nothing.

[@malcolmlester4585]

looking good...shame you have to run v1 electronics to make 4ws work on the scx24 as v2 is a lot smoother.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! And I agree, it’s painful swapping out the electronics.

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Ok, you got me sold. Lol I kinda wanna do this now. Lol Maybe not the monster truck tires right now, but the all wheel drive part. Lol

[@CapeCrawlers]

The 4WS mod is super fun. Even just to watch it crab walk around!

[@RCCrawlerz209]

@@CapeCrawlers for sure, no doubt! 🤟🏻🤙🏻

[@seanofalltrades2644]

I love those Tires! Haha that's awesome.

[@CapeCrawlers]

They are hilariously fun on the scx24!

[@jonascholte7795]

Axel is named after Axial? xD Cute kid dude. Gotto teach them young right :)

[@CapeCrawlers]

Haha thanks! And yes gotta start him off right!

[@calvinwolf7107]

Love this, currently building my own scx24 monster truck with the 10300kv motor, probably won't look near as good as yours tho 😅 🤘🤘

[@CapeCrawlers]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! And believe me, after my son gets a hold of this thing it wont look this good for long LOL

[@tyshiddejuremanbey1313]

15:31, NO, "YOUR COOL!!!

[@MR.H883]

You should mold some aluminum foil over the gladiator body (or 1/24 car body if you have one) and make a few crushable vehicles for him!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

That’s an awesome idea!

[@VS666]

damn, i just bought tires, now i want these!

[@CapeCrawlers]

LOL it never ends!!

[@turmoil5650]

Wholesome fun. Love it.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@robgrime6840]

You don't need to change the electronics?!?!? The v2 esc works fine with rear steer!!! Done it myself.

[@CapeCrawlers]

You're absolutely right! The V1 need is an incorrect notion floating around the community. I have since reverted to the V2 and its much easier given that the switch is right on the side by your thumb!

[@derekherrick400]

Just did the same about a week ago

[@CapeCrawlers]

The 4WS or the monster truck tires? Or both?

[@derekherrick400]

@@CapeCrawlers the tires. No 4ws yet.
