Ultimate Axial SCX24 Upgrades

[@caterpillarslim1288]

I recently bought the gray SCX24 C10 and I'm so blown away by how far RC technology has come in 15-20 years! I had a few Radio Shack RCs when I was a kid (20 years ago) and the trucks always had massive battery packs that took 4-6 hours to charge and would get you about 15 minutes of play time, and it blew my mind when it only took about an hour to charge my SCX24 battery and then I got about an hour of crawlin out of it! I have done some upgrades I bought the exact same Injora beadlocks with their brand of super swampers and the tires were way too big so I ordered Injora Mickey Thompson Baja mtz tire and they fit better but I still had to trim my front fenders and I also bought licensed Super Swamper Boggers from RC4wd and they are just as good as the Baja MTZ and I put the RC4wd boggers on some different beadlocks that only had 4 screws that hold the wheel together as opposed to the Injora wheels with 16 screws, overall I'm really pleased with the quality and customizability of the SCX24 and all the upgrades/accessories are pretty affordable. I also bought a bumper and was surprised that it was actually metal and the clevis's that came with it were metal too! The only thing I'd say is a must have for an SCX24 other than wheel weights is the 4 piece screwdriver set with 0.05", 1.3mm, 1.5mm, and 4mm box/socket

[@UpperLeftRC]

Time for you to do a deep dive and build “the best scx24 money can buy!” There are so many upgrades I think you should attempt to get all of the best ones 🤘🏼😄

I have a question for the scx24 community, i am thinking og getting me one. The deadbolt and c10/Jeep are different, but are the c10 and Jeep the same then, i am thinking of upgrades and such…

[@SeamusMacMattain]

@@damm588 c10 and jeep are the same, betty is the same as the deadbolt but all 4 have different body mounts

[@MattSmith-xo8xe]

Just bought my C10 and upgraded wheels, tires, diff covers, steering knuckles, steering link and servo, and extended drive axles right out of the box. I'm loving it so far. Thanks for the great video!

[@userTJ39780]

I have an SCX24 Deadbolt. I started with brass wheel weights and diff covers. It performed reasonably well, but would still not crawl a 45% grade boulder in my neighborhood. When I added those Injora beadlock wheels and tires, it scooted straight up the incline. It also routinely slays our indoor stuffed animal course, boot crossing and tire piles with ease!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Nice! And you probably didn’t have to hack up the body like I did.

[@jrludwig1]

Do the tires rub on the fenders in the deadbolt?

[@craig_4319]

I turned the bumper bracket over, turned the bumper itself back over, trimmed body where it hits adjusted bumper bracket, raised the adjustable body mounts up, added magnets (6x2) instead of the clips, and now it clears great... looks great too and all for free.

[@bongofury3176]

Just got my 2nd SCX24. So much fun in such a small package. Modding frenzy is go

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yessssss

[@rickystorm201]

Subscribed! Just bought my first crawler and its the C10 SCX24 dark grey. This video made me happy I got mine. Totally a 3D printer guy and that part of the video just made my day. only have 1 cycle of battery use and I love it. I had no idea of the aftermarket support you could get with this it was a impulse buy. I think @UpperLeft RC has the right idea. The only thing you guys are missing IMO is the brushless conversion with all you added.

[@alonequanceappears454]

... and with the added weight a more powerful motor.... great build! These things are great fun!!

I didn’t think I’d like indoor mini crawling as much as I do.

[@RcNickster709]

Perfect christmas colors actually. Great looking rig and nice run. seems to be holding great

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yup! I trimmed the body so it doesn’t rub anymore either.

[@Mud-HoleRC24]

I'm a newbie, as of a couple of months ago... the C10 was my first! I love it...I added brass wheel weights, beadlock wheels and new tires and shocks,.... I burnt out the motor two days later! I have new motors, I just haven't taken the time to replace it... been "playing" with my AX24, and my FMS power wagon.... I miss my C10, fixing it soon!

[@10thScaleGarage]

You know, a lot of people said the motors are weak, but I have 4 SCX24s and they all still have the stock motors. Anyway, glad you’re here bro! Welcome to the fam!

Hey buddy, just as a heads up, Injora also offers inner brass rings for their wheels (the ones you got), should you want even more weight. They weigh 14G each and cost $8.99 for a set of four. Anyways, great video!

Haven’t played with them recently due to the weather in GA finally being nice, but it’ll get cold soon and we’ll need to break them back out. Don’t have any upgrades yet but based on your video, I think the wheel weights are a must. Cheers 🥂

[@10thScaleGarage]

Welcome to the “cool club”. Haha.

[@derekeaton4021]

With the Y-Link that comes with some of the metal kits I have had to dremel out some of the material because it was causing a binding with the front driveshaft. If you look you'll see rub marks on either the driveshaft or that y-link. Some of the kits have an offset but some don't.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yeah, it’s super close, but luckily I have full travel with no binding. They first kit that I got for the Deadbolt was way better (more clearance)

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

OK OK I'M SOLD. Gonna go pick one up once thw hobby shop opens and i'm gonna have to order an identical set of the wheels you slapped on!

[@RalfNeels]

I have the SCX 24 C10 coming in on Monday. Really curious about how it drives. I am going to build a great indoor track for it (winter mode). Can't wait!

[@nathanstewart2018]

I have the red deadbolt. Only thing I've changed so far is tires wheels shocks and added wheel weights along with extended axles. A little weight goes a long way on these. Next upgrade will be the steering servo then new motor and esc. Haven't seen a lot of motor/esc options but furitek is probably what I'll go with. Oh and I also need high clearance links.

[@smee1198]

You mentioned the lower arms where different. What was different? Length or size where they connected?

[@juanrascon7743]

I lifted it and put the long links to stretch the front and that keeps the lift from pulling the front axle back so its stays centered

[@10thScaleGarage]

Good idea!

[@davidjG75]

How about 3d printed pegs and mounting brackets for body. Extensions for the c10 shell to mount to frame. If there is a wat lift the shell from the frame because the shocks lift the frame so if you lift the shell from the frame should have tire clearance. Just curious.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yeah, in fact you can lift the body pretty easily, but that also raises the center of gravity. That wasn’t the look I was going for.

[@jerryhermann7233]

You want unsprung weight get the brass rims. Ther are super heavy. That was my first upgrade to my jeep. Its planted. Got the same rims you put together. What a pain putting them together. I feel your fustration building them, but they look so cool.

The issue with upgrading these Scx24s is that as soon as you add some weight you have to replace the motor or it's not gonna last very long at all. And those blasted stock servos that they come with are garbage. But once you replace almost every single damn part on them.. they become pretty awesome!

I’ve had wheel weights, brass steering knuckles, and diff cover weights in the thing for over a year and haven’t had any issues yet, nor have all the guys that run their rigs on my course.
