Wanted Improvements Were Made- Axial SCX24 Power Wagon

[@bobcog0001]

the first upgrade u must do on all scx 24s when you can is lowering the centre of gravity, most preferably by installing brass parts and replacing parts with brass like the suspension linkage which also adds durability.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

I like where they are putting the cost, body and shocks. For the price the electronics being throw-away isn't a deal breaker for me. Beautiful body on this thing.

[@bcochener]

Exactly!

[@keithbutler6361]

I love my scx24 collection, spent a fortune on improving them and building them , this new truck is a gladiator with a new body , same crappy servo motor and sloppy steering links , your going to buy it and take it apart order a ton of upgrades for it , so build a truck from the parts you know work and buy the body , that's how I would go , why buy the stock truck to end up with half of it in the parts bin the next day , the furitek fury wagon is a better deal for not much more money , save up and wise up , that's my opinion, build don't buy , stay safe everyone and enjoy your RC .

[@2fmrc]

Glad someone in these comments knows what’s up! Lol

[@rcjoe406]

Thanks for saving me time saying what you just said so i didn't have to...well done Sir

[@keithbutler6361]

@2fmrc Thanks, mate, I think most of us now build what we want , it's the new comers to the hobby that will go nuts for this truck , yes it looks great but that's it , it will fall over ever obstacle in there living room and very soon be put back in the box for ever or spend a fortune on making it work as good as it looks , we need more videos for new comers showing step by step how to build a fantastic truck and not waste money , my parts bin has cost a fortune to build up but it does not drive lol , stay safe mate .

[@keithbutler6361]

@rcjoe406 Thanks for that , it's obviously come out the same time as the furitek fury wagon , but it's nothing new other then a body and oil shocks, enjoy your rc mate ...

[@gtb75]

This looks awesome, but if performance is your concern the weight of the plastic body puts even more stress on the already overworked stock motor and steering servo. Unless scale looks are your priority the Furitek FX118 for only $40 more seems like a much better value to me.

[@2fmrc]

I totally agee!

[@gtb75]

I love my SCX24 Deadbolt at the $100 sale price I paid for it, but I'd have a tough time spending $150+ on the Gladiator, Bronco, or Power Wagon. I have a FX118 on order so I'm looking forward to seeing what that has to offer when it shows up!

[@2fmrc]

@@gtb75 yeah the FX118 is the way to go. It’s unreal for $199. A good set of wheels/tires and a couple free mods and mine runs some killer lines!

[@PropPhotographyAZ]

Is the fcx18 an 18th scale?

[@2fmrc]

@@PropPhotographyAZ it’s technically called 1/18 but it’s like the Trx4m. It kinda fits what we usually build our 1/24s to be.

[@kitchentable_rc]

I’m patiently waiting for my Furitek fx118 to arrive at my doorstep. 179.99 all in OTD. Why would anyone want this when your going to replace half the rig? Sure this body is more scale and purdy but at least the fury wagons’s lighter and not top heavy. Depends what you really want it for I guess, to each his own.

[@SensWarrior6]

Love the fact they've finally added oil-filled shocks. I hope Axial will sell the set of oil-filled shocks separately so you can put them on the other SCX24s.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

You can already buy metal ProLine oil shocks for the 24. Haven't seen these unthreaded plastics yet.

[@PropPhotographyAZ]

Amazon, rc planet, amain hobbies, tower hobbies, lots of places that sell the shocks you want.

[@stefan-norge]

Thanks for the review, it was very interestig. From my point of view it is not enough. Axial should have done a FCX24 / TRX4M mix: Oil shocks according to Traxxas and the electronics (including the servo) and 2 speed gear box like FMS.

[@Zomby1Woof]

That's a cool little machine. I wish they sold it without the radio because I have a couple of Spektrum transmitters and an extra receiver I could put into it. My previous RC car experience has always been with fast nitro cars. I started in the 80's with 1/8 scale on road racing. Cars that went up to 70 mph. I was out of it for a few years and then returned in 1/10 off road racing, also nitro cars. My on road car was a Serpent Excel, my off road car was a Losi XXX-NT. I still have the Losi.

[@richiesavino9653]

Awesome video as always man that thing looks sweet does anyone know if these proline tires are larger than the ones that come on the deadbolt?

[@RCplamodel]

Very impressive! I love these kinds of crawler videos. Very beautiful location and top notch video editing! 🤩👍👍

[@shannongoldsberry6321]

What about the deadbolt

[@speedcrusader3779]

real nice setup on factory rc

[@canuckchuck8836]

Isn't that the standard 030 motor?

[@bustedaw11]

Yes it is the 030. He mis-spoke and said 050.

[@bustedaw11]

Awesome review my friend! Very honest! I think for a scale rig this thing is awesome and at the same price point it comings with the extras is cool. Id like to mention that it comes with the 030 motor, not the 050 you mentioned

[@TheGoodBoyGarage]

Thanks for showing it "off road" on a trail, I'm looking to buy one to capture hiking footage with my dog. Not sure yet but thinking Redcat Ascent Fusion will give the best performance stock and value - not intending to upgrade anything otherwise the hole in my wallet becomes a blackhole. What would you suggest?

[@keldonator]

This is the only power wagon body I actually like

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

pretty cool, love that it has decent shocks now big step up, smart body, good video

[@idan678]

will those oil filled shocks can fit my SCX deadbolt?

[@chadandersen2774]

The bee sure was interested in the PowerWagon

[@redvikinghobbies]

Dunno. They hire the guy that picks the RGT car colors?

[@jonesrccrawlers2300]

That's awesome. I love powerwagons. It looks good.

[@heffe17]

Good review, just looks good.

[@stephant3665]

Thinking of starting with this setup, it'll be my second rc and 1st crawler. At $130 would? this be a good model to start my journey into hobby?

[@crashandcynder]

Can you take the tires off the stock rim? I would want to keep the stock tires but use a metal rim

[@rcdriver]

Yup, they are a bead-lock wheel.

[@crashandcynder]

@@rcdriver sweet

[@offroad1911]

Its so great that you and Matt got an orange one and Josh got a green one. Lol

I picked one up. Can’t wait to try it on some rocks. I have an addiction. Lol 😂

[@haydenkeeslar6348]

Love the review very quality bideo thank you sir but now I must say I need this truck

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

Furitek is killing it this time sorry Axial, man i was hoping for a few more improvements but proline partnership is awesome

[@JD-tl7ld]

Just when I think I'm out... I'm never going to financially recover from all these new RC offerings.

[@DerfLrak]

Now I want to get this and the trailer so I can tow my C10

[@rcaddiction1956]

Is this based of the gladiator platform

[@rcexplore18]

Perfect gest..

[@2fmrc]

It definitely has an on/off switch for a throttle. Same ol junk electronics. Rather see something changed there than the upgrades they gave us. Even a v2 esc was 10x better than these spektrum systems they are pushing. It’s probably better than their brushless system even 😆 At least they didn’t really raise the price. With the brushless Furitek coming in at $199 they’d never sell these if they raised that price any imo

[@PropPhotographyAZ]

You don't have to buy it, axial will be just fine without your support.

[@2fmrc]

@@PropPhotographyAZ I’m sure they will. Plenty other people with no clue will buy it 😆 And I don’t HAVE to buy it, but I did because I want to do a real review on it. Not follow the script they give me for a release video 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@justsomebloke621]

A shame these rcs didnt have a swivel frame like a few of the older power wagons use to have. Probably solve the rolling problem if they added that.

[@DoubleADay]

I'm actually shocked, $159.99 pre-order. The trailer is $45

[@finleymakee4850]

Scx24’s look better, but the fms fcx24 has way better electronics and a two speed transmission

[@keldonator]

And the new furitek RTR has the best electronics for only a bit more

[@rofufoja]

Absolutely. I own both and when it comes to controlled performance I'll go for the scx anytime. My FMS has a lot of slop in the drivetrain, so it rolls forward or rearward when you absolutely don't want it. The bigger size, the 2 speed and portals of the FMS helps it though when going outdoors.

[@johnnyhotshoe1292]

​@rofufoja I have 3 fms and they all roll, setting drag brake to 100% helps. It's the portals that give the slop. Or atleast that's what I've been told. This longer wheelbase chassis on this like the gladiator will be good. I am excited for this one. Those proline swampers are great tires.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

What about the furitek.. does that the slop , I only own sxcs

[@keldonator]

@@RcPlayer-tt2vw Yes it has portals, so it has slop. I barely notice it when driving my fcx24 though.

[@schneiderbeans]

What’s with the 24th scale trail trucks? Who’s trailing with these!? People want crawlers! A 24th Capra, wraith or maybe even a Ryft would be cool! I’d love to see a Toyota with a roll cage and a doved bed. Something that you can take to a small area and crawl with. Leave the trail trucks bodies to 1/10.

[@rcjoe406]

Wow a power wagon haha

[@barceloni1984]

Hopefully it comes out with a different body soon. I've never liked the Dodge power wagon, and its been done to death

[@PropPhotographyAZ]

They have released the scx24 in many different bodies, what exactly are you hoping for.

[@barceloni1984]

@@PropPhotographyAZ just this newer scx24 with maybe a Ford or Chevy body? I like the newer electronics and tires, but not the power wagon

[@brianbiro9094]

Don't all those excessories added marketing it Top Heavy😢

[@spike3834]

Same shit motor and servo. If you like to drive a lot, don't get axial scx24. After going through 20 motors 7 servos, I switch to a real rc truck. Fms FCX24. 100% better

[@2fmrc]

Nailed it! With the new brushless Furitek being $40 more it’s a no brainer imo. I ordered this to give my thoughts on it but if it wasn’t for wanting to do some vids on it I wouldn’t even consider it.

[@spike3834]

Right! I still prefer fms FCX24 line. I can't get over the two speed transmission. I do like furitek though. I have the ultimate esc and new cedar in my max smasher.

[@dellystinky]

For the price of 20 stock motors u could've gotten a brushless system 🤣

[@snörre23]

Best for what ? For a capable scale looking toy car. Yes but no update to the existing SCX24s other than you like that certain body. Will be hard to sell with the new furitek available with brushless motor and much more quality at almost the same price.

[@MN_XJ_Mike]

Still with that crappy little motor though. Any kind of extra weight upgrade and it burns out right away. Think they’d upgrade that junk one day

[@jamesplymire5342]

❤ 🔥

[@daveyd0071]

Two weeks later it is still on pre-order LMAO. It's not good if it ain't on store shelves yet. 🤣 Right?

[@FarmerFpv]

I'm done with Horizon Hobby products. I wish they would sell all the RTRs in builders' kits like they all were in the 70s 80s 90s. Tamiya and Kyosho still do it which is awesome. Horizon Hobby is even getting rid of all of the rollers and going to sell only RTRs which is lame. They want to force us to use Spektrum electronics which are rebranded BS that locks you out of programming even though a majority of them are Hobbywing Rebrands and other Chinese rebrands with Spektrum stickers on them. Horizon Hobby buying out so many companies is ruining the hobby. They are bullies in the industry. Their customer service isn't even good anymore. Such a shame. Still haven't received my Losi Promoto MX that I ordered on June 22nd. Always a new excuse and never respond with ETAs. That made my opinion of them even worse. They are Bullies with Traxxas going down the same route. 10000000s of people feel the same way. Even the younger generation is tired of RTRs and wants something to build and be able to choose what goes in it. Now I wait for their products to come out as sliders on eBay by an eBay Sttore that strips out all the electronics, wheels, body, and tires from vehicles to sell separately. Kinda like JennyRc but, they sell rollers and sliders of all the Arrma, Losi, Axial, and Traxxas vehicles. You can then pick your tires electronics, and body not being stuck with stuff you planned on replacing anyway. Sorry for the Rant on your channel, I'm just done with the elites.

[@power21100]

You have to check out the new Radiomaster MT12... I think you will like it.

[@Bigpotatocatcher]

So basically they just released a new gladiator with oil filled shocks lol axial has dropped the ball… their scx10 pro is about the only good thing coming from them. Might as well just buy the body and skip the shocks. Injoras oil filled shocks will be cheaper and work better 😅

[@wvlfkvnt]

Das a 030 motor

[@randall4411]

Wish it was a Chevy S10 or a Toyota . Power wagon ...meh

[@jerryhermann7233]

So this is a ttail truck not a crawler? Im not impressed. Hard bodies suck . Junk for crawling. Way to heigh cog.. even woth a + 4mm axils wont over come the added high weight!

I hate that body. Do a Grave Digger, but other than that I don't like older trucks.

[@josecanedo007]

[@PropPhotographyAZ]

Classic youtube, a company releases a new model and the internet shits all over it. Axial has a huge marketing department that figures all this out before they even created it. I doubt they will ever ask the dipshits of youtube what theor opinion is.

[@Simoroxigorum]

Classic youtube, some fanboy dipshit is being butthurt over some youtube comments 😂

[@Simoroxigorum]

Not bad but i want to see a proper scx18 thought. Nobody i know still uses or own an scx24.. we all switched to 18th scale and won't go back.

[@keldonator]

Trx4m or enlarged fcx24?

[@Simoroxigorum]

@@keldonator both and hobbyplus too

[@PropPhotographyAZ]

There are plenty of people still buying scx24 models. Your not speaking for anyone buy yourself

[@AlightBULLDOG]

Plenty of people will buy this no doubt. But anyone who goes full scale build mode will pretty much make it a 1/18 scale rig so I think it would have just made more sense to make it a 1/18th from the start.

Still haven’t had a 18 shred on my 24s
