Scx24 Winch Install B17 Betty gets the HOOKup!

[@andyrichey1192]

Wow Super cool . Waiting on my Betty. Appreciate you sharing, that's a awesome idea

[@2fmrc]

Thanks! Pretty simple install also. Hope you like the Betty!

[@blakeshaw4251]

Awesome idea! Glad to see the Betty doing some wheeling!

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I can’t have a shelf queen 😂

[@unclesilsrc4x4more26]

Killer set up

[@Crack3drc]

I really like videos like this! The winch is a great addition! Nice work!

[@2fmrc]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for checking it out!

[@brianonthego]

Very nice. I gave up on waiting for my Betty trucks. Between Horizon and FedEx who knows.

[@maxwellphillip6002]

This rig is looking super cool! Love that winch setup! Maybe you could do a rescue clip where you hook the winch up to one of your other trucks and pull it out of something?

[@2fmrc]

Thanks! I’ll have to do that for sure!

[@DerekLed]

My old man was so stoked on the Betty for Xmas. I was really impressed right out of the box comparing the other trucks my bro and I own. I put a scale Blower off of Muscle Machines toy car I ripped apart through the body mount hole. It looks sick with it popping out of the hood! I ordered myself one too 😂. Great job with the winch!

[@2fmrc]

Oh man that’s so awesome! Glad he enjoyed it. It’s a beast straight out of the box. I’m loving mine so far. That blower sounds really cool!

[@DerekLed]

@@2fmrc For sure. Just for appearance but it really set it off.

Hey Man, you mentioned making a 4-link setup. I've been experimenting with all sorts of different materials and found these to be the easiest and best to use. They're called standoffs, or spacers. See web link. You can make your suspension rods any length you want, and they're already pre-threaded. You'll still need some 2mm all-threaded rod, but the pieces used don't have to be accurately cut. Let's say you need a link-rod 46mm long not counting the rod ends. Use two 18mm and one 10mm, and viola', A 46mm rod already threaded! (To connect 3 pieces and have threads at both ends, screw the 10mm (male end) into an 18mm female end. Then cut a piece of threaded rod long enough to attach the female end of the 10mm to the female end of the second 18mm. You'll have a rod that is 46mm long and has 3mm of male threads at each end to thread into your rod ends. I wish I could post pics so you could see what I mean. Anyway, they can be purchased in either a hex shape or my preference, the round shape. Here's a link to the set I bought. www.amazon.com/Electronics-Salon-Brass-Male-Female-Standoff-Assortment/dp/B014KK2MGK Also, I use M2 rod ends. They're WAY better than the M1.4 ones that come stock. Articulation will increase and all binding will be eliminated. They come in both black plastic and several colors of aluminum.

[@2fmrc]

I think I kinda follow what you’re saying. Looks & sounds very interesting. Shoot me some pics at [e-mail] if you want. I’m gonna have to try this! Sounds easier than the links I’ve been making with solid brass tube!

I've got a couple videos up on my channel crawling some stuff around the house getting used to this Deadbolt. Thinking about putting the emax servo in today.

[@2fmrc]

@@gfyracing7632 it’s a pretty simple upgrade that is really worth it. You can glue the stock servo saver and it’ll be much better but the Emax won’t disappoint.

[@kel5944]

I made one out of a small retractable ID badge. It works well just using the spring to help my truck climb. Is the hook you are using a fishing hook?

[@2fmrc]

😂 yes it is! It actually works awesome on my course because it will grab anywhere lol. I thought about just using a badge. The gear keeper I used for this was actually on my 1/10 at one time. They work really well!

[@renercadventures]

Cool video 😍

[@carloshnunez]

Good idea install the winch remotely

[@jasonjohnson4139]

Just got a Betty, thinking about clipping the rear fender area to eliminate the tire rub. Sacrilege? If you do this, show us please. Just thinking that with the added articulation from some double barrel shocks I might add, it might need more clearance? Keep the vids coming, my kids and I watch them all the time, they've each got c-10's

[@2fmrc]

Awesome! Glad the kids enjoy the hobby with ya. With double barrels I’d say the body will definitely need some trimming. I don’t really plan to take mine that far but who knows lol

[@goreyboggs]

I got mine too. Actually for Christmas:-). It’s a bummer that it rubs. Thought it would have better quality to be honest. I like my scx24 Jeep a lot better.

[@SILV3RxEAGL3]

Nice, do you have a video dedicated to a breakdown of the orange dig rig? I can't find one in your videos.

[@2fmrc]

Yes. It’s titled Can you Dig it? It shows the dig process. I didn’t do the tube chassis swap as a video though.

[@joseroman6484]

Keep'em coming Matt!

[@2fmrc]

I’m trying! 😂

[@MrMrsregor]

I really want to do this on my atlas 6x6. But I guess i would need a different esc and receiver to be able to control the winch right ? Or is there a small enough wireless transmitter that could run this servo winch on its own ?

[@2fmrc]

I’m not 100% sure on that. I’ll have to take a look at putting one on my atlas and see!

[@MrMrsregor]

When you relocated the headlights on the Chevy to the actual headlight housing how did you keep them up in place? I’m getting the longer light plug tomorrow

Hey, I’m hopefully getting my C10 scx24 in the mail today and I’m already way in over my head in thoughts on what to do to it. I’m a beginner in this hobby so I need some advice and I really enjoyed your videos on it. I want to install new wheels and possibly new shocks, what would you recommend?

[@2fmrc]

Well I have 2 c10s. One of each color. The grey one I use for more performance. The green one I built mostly for looks lol. On my grey C10 I like the old man emu shocks with no springs in them. I didn’t build either of my C10s to be massive flex rigs that will sleigh anything but I did build it to maintain the look for the most part but still be able to hang with most. I’m running the rc4wd stamped steel wheels on mine with some full send weights. Most wheels at the moment are hard to come by so I’d just find a set that you can get and actually like. I almost always move my shocks down to the chassis rails for a little more belly clearance. I have a C10 mods video if you get a chance check it out. Another thing I always do to a stock truck is glue the servo saver so the servo will actually work lol. Let me know if I can help with anything else and welcome to the hobby! Always love hearing new people joining!!

[@rccrawlingcrab8001]

I run the same setup on my c10 #rccrawlingcrab I find that the servo when fluttering it’s also moving the horn, tangled wire, do you know of a way to fix that?

[@2fmrc]

It’s normally just a sign of a servo that don’t center well. Cheap servos have that issue quite a bit. It can sometimes be adjusted through the expo or end point adjustment on a better transmitter. These stock transmitters don’t have that adjustment so it’s hard to do anything with it from my experience.

Not sure why. I just went and tried it and it shows it’s working for me. Took my order from $11.49 to $10.70 on a set of weights. What were you ordering?

[@tenncutt]

I like the video but the winch was cool until you used it, then I was unimpressed. Think I'll just pick mine up!

It’s much cooler now 😉. I just put it on a dial so no more full on or full off that’s hard to control. It will self reel very very slowly while I drive. Much better!
