Ultimate Low CG Build - details on each part

[@HolmesHobbies]

Glad you like the motor! I cram a lot into that package for comp guys 😁

[@RCReviewChannel]

I love it

[@rekik66]

There must be an assembly video after this! With a geometry explanation! Awesome!

[@ChrisLey]

Thanks for putting this together. Really nice to see in one place all the parts involved to make a belly dragger.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Our pleasure!

[@BoylstonBobby]

Great video - so refreshing to see a channel host not afraid to share the spotlight with a subject expert in order to make an informative video on builds that are new to most of us. Thanks for putting this one together.

[@TEAMGARAGEHACK]

Great video showcasing the major components necessary to build a custom capable crawler!

[@6fiddy309]

I just love the enthusiasm these guys have for building these crawlers..🤠👍🏻

[@ludoboyludoboy3797]

Great work Francis /Neal. It’ll give everyone a great look at how to get into a LCG build... once you follow up with the actual build video

[@petroskaramichalakos5891]

🔥🔥🔥Rc Patina Guy 🔥🔥🔥 killed it with the body. Great 👍 information as always!!! Gspeed , Team Garage Hack & Holmes Hobbies together are slaying it!!! Congratulations Neil on some awesome builds!!! Straight to the top ⛰

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on. Bringing the true craftsmen in front of our audience.

[@bobsennick7403]

I love my GSpeed. I did a small tire build with the Proline 'Class 0' stuff and it's a ton of fun. I didn't see shocks?

[@mickd8188]

Looks like they have used the scx10iii shocks mounted upside-down.

[@brookmiller2427]

So stoked to see this series I have my rails on their way now and have a few details to work. Can’t wait for the next vid to see how the weight works out. Great job.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@vakhelpasha5773]

Great video. Much needed. More like this please. Thank you.

[@travismorse2104]

Awesome!!! Now I got a better understanding of building a lcg rig!!!! Thank you!🥰💯🤯

[@RCReviewChannel]

Happy to help!

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

Can't wait to see the final product!

[@jeepdog27]

Wow! But you're going to have a ton of fun with that truck! Hopefully I can build on myself someday soon.

[@AeneasMacdonaldEdits]

I have a trx 4 sport lcg conversion build on the way, scattergun. i would have gone gspeed v3 but I'm UK and sourceing the parts I needed for that became too difficult. nice build, more of Neil, he inspired me to go clg with all of his sick rigs!

[@jettthomas9453]

I love your channel....I'm building my very 1st truck on a gspeed chassis

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Can’t wait to see the video of you taken it for a spin Fran, gonna be sick. I was wondering when you were gonna put that beautiful body to work. I really like the direction the channel is going. Still have great reviews as always and doing really cool builds and show best components for what application. Thanks and hand shakes to each and everyone of you at Rc Review. I’d like to pay Neil to build me a sick LCG, I could do it myself but I do like getting my hands on other people’s builds because obviously they build different then I do.

[@RCReviewChannel]

We are going very cheap and very expensive. Very complex builds and the simplest plug and play. Then we'll go into fast cars and other rc's. Really want to bring RC to more people

[@hillie47]

Let me know if you want to get rid of the micro-X! :) Thanks for showing the parts and everything. I've bought a bunch of parts, including a few servos that run directly off battery (3Brothers and Holmes), so no need for a bulky BEC. Contemplating between building a rail based thing with components gathered here and there (gspeed, brazin, STH rails, I'm still contemplating) or choose a Capra. I got the Holmes team spec stubby 2700kv as well, still gathering parts and taking it easy on deciding what to build. Also mostly on 3s, so a micro X would work for me. They've been out of stock however. I like the Capra width for stability, but it also has its disadvantages.

[@nateg4513]

Awesome rig! Can't wait to see it run! What is the advantage of running your shocks inverted? Thx for all your great vids and support in the hobby guys. 👍👍 Keep the greasy side down ✌🙃

[@RCReviewChannel]

Inverting the shocks keeps the shocks pistons in oil, no matter the oil level. So more consistent performance. There's a CG and appearance effect but negligible really.

[@nateg4513]

@@RCReviewChannel thx Francis! Appreaciate the reply and info. What shocks to u generally like to use? 👍🙃🤜🤛

[@itsquick817]

Around how much is this hole build ?

[@KILLAHBOZO76]

Hi I’m planning on starting a low cg build and this video helped a lot 👍🏽 but I was wondering how/where could I find the front and rear axles (portals) ? If Canz that’ll be great Mahalos 🤙🏽

[@mackRseries]

Nice build. Moving the steering servo from up high on the chassis to down low on the axle would lower it even more

[@GustavoSanchez64]

I am currently also planning a G-speed build and trying to decide whether to base it on the SCX10-2 builders kit or the Element Enduro kit. I keep hearing that the Element has one of the best transmissions out there but not sure if the axial axles are much better. I know you went with the SCX10 because it's what you had laying around but if you had to pick a kit to buy which one would you go with?

[@Bonzaras]

Francis is asking all the dumb questions on our behalf! Thank you.

[@freshlysearedahi]

On a build like this, is a BEC required? Or is the Mamba X built in BEC enough?

[@juanmejia1258]

That’s going to be a beast

[@Rob-zt5hq]

Where did you get the scx10 iii axles?

[@ReadySetRC]

Nice project! Thanks for sharing👍👍

[@saleen12]

Does anywhere sell complete AR45 axles yet? Or do you have to buy pieces and build them or rip them out of a rig?

[@290DIRT]

Why did you choose Axial SCX10 III portal axles? I heard they're not reliable is that true?

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

The 2700 kv, motor is that 4s comparable

[@gabrielguadarrama8701]

Is there an specific reason why choosing the front motor mount and transfer case over the tgh2.low??? I’m building a rig with ar45 axles and lay down servo mount just trying to figure about which transmission better suits my build. Using a power wagon body simple no interior or anything special just a good performer. Thanks. And great video

[@ACE999]

So, how about an example of a bog standard compared to all upgrades, video?

[@johnnyc311]

Neil. You mentioned mirroring transmission for AR45's? Better shaft alignment? Would this also be true for creeper, 2 low and FMM

[@s281mustng]

Do you know what transmission you are using?

[@davidrainey968]

well done video and audio (appreciate the lack of profanities in the audio track). I am unable to care any less about belly draggers ... I just do not see the allure. That being said, the best RC is the one that puts a smile on your face. if belly draggers put a smile on your face, then do it.

[@stpbasss3773]

I don't like them either it's kinda dumb unless you just climb steep inclines all day. But to each their own. Seem to do similar builds every time lately, belly dragger power wagon and I've seen hundreds on Instagram and KZbin.

[@RCReviewChannel]

They really make sense if one has the terrain for it. And a group of friends that do insane lines all day.

[@billderas3420]

FC. Just noted that you did not list the new GSpeed Chassis G-LD Laydown CMS Servo Mount in the build list. Do see it being shown in the build at the tail end of your post. Assume it arrived sometime after the parts review was done with Neil.

[@Djkommode]

Does anyone make a chassis with lower shock towers for better scale?

[@oceanstaterccrawlers]

what size shocks are they running on belly draggers

[@RCReviewChannel]

Usually 90mm as well. But 80mm is common too when not much articulation is needed on smooth and steep terrain.

[@NANNIRC]

great idea this video, thank you

[@RCReviewChannel]

Glad you liked it!

[@Gazelle0078]

What’s the total cost on this so I can start saving?

[@markstopczynski5869]

I was looking up that motor, I need something for a capra builders kit I just got. I was wondering can you run that on 4 s ? Can't find any information on it.

[@RCReviewChannel]

4S for the Holmes Puller Pro... yes. The key is the ESC needs to be able to handle it. Castle Mamba X is a common choice for that.

[@d1gg1ngraves4]

Parts listed price would be nice i know there not cheap just want to know what it would be roughly

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

How much for your buddy do a army version of your power wagon

[@Iammasterkush]

Dont use a winch i would use a dsm for it you can even just get the dsm self recovery kinict rope in different lengths and hook up like a winch or get the kit for scx 10 and find where to mount on your truck no extra stuff to use power i love mine

[@mr.onedayatuhtime5523]

I'd like to thank Francis for all he's done for the RC community. Also Neil as you can clearly see his passion for RC. Video and list of parts is great. However I feel the video is missing Francis or Neil explaining why the parts were selected. Yes we know it's for a low center gravity build. Why a 10T pinion and not 11T for the motor? Why a 56T 32P Spur Gear? Why brushless over brush? Why a 2700kv motor? Why Traxxas Yokes and half shafts? If you tune in to my channel of lets say PB&J sandwiches. I tell you hey look this is the ultimate PB&J sandwich and I run down the brands and where to get it. But I don't explain WHY I went with those brands and how it influenced me. Missing parts shown/not: Body GSPEED Chassis G-LD LayDown cms servo mount - gspeedchassis.com/collections/tgh-v3-products/products/gspeed-chassis-g-ld-laydown-cms-servo-mount Shown however I am not sure if this will work with the Servo/Mount combo. Seeing that the TGH-HH Forward Motor Mount and Transfer Case are being used. Samix SCX10 III Brass Differential Cover (Black) - www.amainhobbies.com/samix-scx10-iii-brass-differential-cover-black-samscx3-4075/p1220630 Portal Covers Shocks - Guessing they're off of the SCX10 3? Driveshafts - I don't see'em so I'm guessing y'all have not yet decided?

if only straight axles instead of portals, it would be extra dreamy. still love the video.

[@DESOUSAB]

Why does nobody offer a LCG kit on their website - all you have to do is go through the options provided and choose your COMPLETE LCG build. Its 2022, ffs. Doing this in a YT video like this is awesome, but it does zero to help me overcome the inertia of having to now go and sample all of these parts from different places, and then waiting for and paying for 50 things to arrive by mail.
