CRAZY $600 Mini RC Crawler Build! The Same as a Traxxas TRX4!

This is probably the most expensive Mini RC Crawler I will ever build! It truly is more expensive than an Traxxas TRX4 Bronco! Would you build a $600 Mini Crawler? Or have you?

This vid makes me wanna go shopping 🛍. The parts are small enough to smuggle them into the house without my wife noticing it. Only downside is that my son has a scx24 to. He can keep a secret as long as I put the same parts on his one 😂. this way it really becomes an expensive upgrade 🙈

I'm in the process of modifying a C10 Scx24, and are doing what you said at the end of the video. I don't have the disposal income to spend that kind of money on a car. I've changed the wheels and tyres, knuckles, steering and suspension links, and put an odd set of long travel shocks on it, and the performance difference so far is remarkable. Watching Harley Designs and Scale Builders budget build off was fascinating in what you can do with these little cars, and on a restricted budget. This is at the other end, with the no expense spared approach (I know we're given the Treal parts, but you know what I mean). It all comes down to budget, and what you want to get at the end of the process. But at the end of the day, is the smile at the end of the day bigger if you've spent a fortune, or are still running it stock? For me, it's having fun. If you're not having fun, there's no point. 😎👍🏻

[@jake6087]

I have 3 scx24's. and..... about $1500 money spent total on them lol. It is easy to do since I bought parts one at a time. Spending that much all at once... I would probably not have.

[@MissingNumb]

May just forgo getting a RTR and just build custom 🤔. Could build a custom roller sans body/electronics for around the same cost...

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

For a 24th that does really well, but way over my paygrade

[@qrisemrc]

The scx24 should not be ignored because it is small. Even a little tuning on the tire can do rock crawl to a certain extent. Many people seem to buy scx24 because the KZbinr reviews it carefully.👍👍👍

As if it had heard you "...so nice to drive..." putting up the front wheels into the air🤣. Thanks for showing these upgrades. I like the display, that's great. But serious, 600 £ is an announcement. And even if I swallow every Brexit inflation joke that's coming up to my mind, I have to sleep over it. But fpr sure I'll buy it telling the wife: "Ebay... 5 EUR..."

[@mb9996]

Scx24s are great little crawlers. I have 3 of them and I would gather to say they are the most highly used rc , mainly for the fact I can come home and run on my home made course while watching TV or whenever I have a moment. Pretty good value and fun. Yeah they can get pricey, but that can be said for any rc car when modified with aftermarket parts. And really value when compared to monetary prices , is really only worth what the hobbiest deems worthwhile.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, i agree. They are good out the box… so no need to upgrade unless you really want to

[@MatMabee]

@@TomleyRC Tomley if you put this build onto a Warthog chassis it'd be one of the best SCX24s out there

By the time I bought the second set of aluminum links so I could build a long wheelbase, using my aluminum and brass axles, with the brushless motor and my JR steering servos front and rear, it was catching up to my class 3 FrankenTruck as far as costs, but you need little beadlocks and mud slingers, right? Love your show, and as always, have fun.

You said it right there. My wife looked at my Amazon delivery list and added up my $700 of parts and shook her head and said what a waste then I said look I get to come home after working hard sit down put my feet up crack a beer and run my scx24 around and not have to go out in the heat or to a special track I can just crawl or in my case do jumps right there in the house and she realized that now (well now she was more annoyed that her house was gonna be full of jumps and tracks all the time)lol hahaha no I'm joking kinda it makes sense everything I said is true we can kick back at home and bash thats the great thing.

[@TheRCScotsman]

That looks fantastic! I always preferred the Chevy C10 SCX24, but yours looks more mean and purposeful than any SCX24 I've seen. You might have changed my mind!

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

This is my second scx24. I just bought another one and got got carried away with a few upgrades and soon realized I had over $300 in this little rig but there are still things I want. I feel like I could have better spent the money on a Capra kit or even an RTR gateKeeper to get me started. It’s really cool looking but I feel it’s size really restricts where you can take it. **BEST cheap upgrade was the magnetic body mounts I made.**

I love the SCX24.. Currently building a pretty decent indoor course for it in a spare room. Like the upgrades you've put on it, but not big fan of those huge tires.

[@wolfiecrawlsrc58]

Totally agree, all that lovely low weight, then huge tyres to ruin the cog. Maybe that’s a future idea, running different size tyres to see how much more angle you can get. That said those tyres look the business but for a 1/18….

Tomley. You can get double barrel shocks on eBay. They increase the articulation significantly

that is amazing, I'd love a side by side with stock car just to see the difference, to see if it's worth the extra money spent on it👌👍👍

[@reprieverc]

there's absolutely no way the comparison is needed. with what he put on it's now fine tuning and it's a beast. low center of gravity, more reliable torque ( with that brushless system it's so smooth and strong you can slow crawl over most obstacles with throttle trim turned up a bit and just work the steering wheel 😂) better tires for grip, the high clearance links provide their own invaluable asset to the experience and last but not least the extra weight and a dummy behind "the wheel" will break lots of body pieces from stupid heights from being overly confident lol but really there's a night and day difference.

[@grrfy]

[@timwegman5776]

It's not that hard to do. I started building my rig a few months ago after my son gave me his C10 he lost interest in and I went crazy my problem is I'll have a few too many beers and go Amazon shopping at night then wake up the next day to see a ton of parts on the way smh. I have now purchased every upgrade I can fit on my truck I literally can't find anything else all the brass and aluminum parts that fit and it's now a stretched rock buggy with furitek Komodo, lizard pro, 15t pinion on 3s. My buggy looks just like the mad max buggy on bcochener channel. For me most of the fun is the upgrades and shopping. Now I'm looking into scx10 builders kit I think.

Thank you for covering the SCX24, but this is the equivalent of "tacticool". I realize you were sent a bunch of stuff for free or sold at a heavy discount and expected to showcase it in a video. I'm afraid less experienced hobbyists may actually think this is going to yield good results. It is not. These parts all serve a purpose in a build, but probably not all at the same time and certainly not randomly. I'd like to see you make a video that goes through the decision making process when choosing parts and actually building a truck that performs. There may not be as much money in it, but you'd be doing some of your viewers a great service. Consider it a challenge. Show us you want to be a part of the RC community and aren't just in it to make a dollar.

[@robbinthehood94]

Oooo I like tomleys content a bunch but you bring up a great point. I’ve built out 7 of the scx24s and each one has been a piece by piece design to improve the trucks particular performance that I’m aiming for. I’ve got fast ones, slow ones, hill climbers and trail trucks but not every upgrade is needed and they can even work against each other.. what a fun platform tho to explore and learn about rc! And I like the fluff here for what it is I get my pb somewhere else.

[@TomleyRC]

I say near the end of the video that I’d probably buy little bits at a time and do it as a project rather than spending all that money in one go. I don’t have the time to do complex videos with multiple testing etc. As for being part of the hobby and not in it for the money… I spend 5 hrs on Sunday at my local RC club chatting and having a laugh with friends… I also gifted a £200 RC to a lad there. He has some learning difficulties and uses RC as a way to help him get by. Nobody asked me to, and I didn’t tell anyone I was giving it to him until I got it out my car on the day. If you think I’m just in it to make money then you got me wrong dude.
