Man I really wish Axial would stop using these dang servo's!

S5 FTW no doubt

That sounds epic!!!

They are already too soft with soft foams- how is no foams going to help?

@ThePreppersBunkerOutdoors with a sealed beadlock rim, softer tires not only look better crawling over things but they grab alot better with less tire pressure, with them being super soft it allows the tires and treads to sink into the rocks and whatever else it's on, I always preferred no foams for looks and preformance, unless you want to just speed around then it's a terrible mod

@@Tommysmess um... yeah

@ThePreppersBunkerOutdoors bro what are you being sarcastic about I Just gave you some advice

I have the same tires and they run significantly better with the harder foams. It certain scenarios having no foams definitely works but in vertical climbing you don’t want the back tire to start buckeling.. especially on a scale tire that’s the equivalent of running 48 inch tires on a real truck. My advice, try the harder foams.. I think you will enjoy much more!

Glad to have ya! I hate an atc 110 growing up and more recently a 200x as an adult. I wish I hadn't sold the 200x!

@@Jakesrcadventures to funny I had and still have my 110!!! Runs like a champ still

Yeah I would say that would be likely. Doing these on the front only would give you some overdrive ;-)

With enough modifications, I'm sure anything is possible😊

I couldn't agree more!

Yeah that's a good point! The longer I fool with them the more diy I'm willing to do!

@@Jakesrcadventures Yep! I can see the draw of mod'ing. And nothing wrong with buying parts if you just don't have the time, knowledge or tools. I've got a woodworking shop and a welding shop and all the how-to I need. But it's often a time thing that is the catch.

@@wingnutbert9685 the time thing is certainly my biggest constraint

@@Jakesrcadventures I bet! You've got kids! I just have the dogs! LOL! Speaking of diy.... I like the Tinkertime chassis. But as a Canadian....ouch! $10usd: add 25% for exchange, $18usd for shipping. Plus boarder duties. Plus Fed and Provincial tax..... I'd be looking at $45cnd....yikes!

I agree, however I will add with tires that while there can't be a universally best tire there are plenty that can certainly be worst- And of course it would be hard to figure out but by the law of nature there is a best tire for each rig in each environment and a best balanced tire/ insert as well. It just might not translate directly from one user/ rig to another.

@@Jakesrcadventures I do agree. There are ones that are working for more people and ones that are not so good for most people. And it is context. Lots of folks talk about how good a tires compound is because it's soft and sticky. That's likely the way to go for slow crawling rock and indoor diy surfaces. But then there's mud, trail running, sand, etc where a 'cheap' and stiff/hard tire compound would be better. It's just a tough thing to review and I admire anyone willing to step into the line of fire when doing tire reviews! LOL! :)

I don't actually, but they are easy to find.

@@Jakesrcadventures I can't find em 😔

Thanks! This is in Kentucky

I think they are 62mm

What?

@@Jakesrcadventures I'll take a flying guess perhaps he's trying to refer to the waterfall noise being problematic with your voice recording...maybe? I first read it and thought your dogs name was "Youngboy" and it couldn't swim and he was concerned it was going to drown......LOL!

Glad to have you! I do believe you can stretch tires onto the 1.2 rims but if i were looking for performance without buying too much stuff i would just grab the new proline swampers- they already come one rims and are a great match for the hunter. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I absolutely love what Hobby Plus and FMS are doing for the hobby! They are CLEARLY listening and paying attention to what we like or want. They are innovating affordable solutions with excellent performance! I will agree that for a builders kit I’d expect to see a reduced price point however I could see how from a manufacturing perspective it’s actually MORE work to provide it LESS built in terms of inventory, assembly line mods, marketing and all the other bits. After all like you pointed out, I’d end up getting their electronics anyway if they weren’t included! Wow I really went off on a rant. Oh well, stoked to see companies stepping it up not just reconfiguring or rebranding old stuff.

He's the man! Ill have some new stuff shortly, im big stoked!

This isnt my 30k channel btw, that is @thepreppersbunkeroutdoors 👌🏻

@@Jakesrcadventures I never said anything about that.

@@TheShopMiniRC never said you did 👌🏻

Near mammoth cave ky

Yeah?

@@Jakesrcadventures how do I send you a picture.

I guess email me at thepreppersbunkeroutdoors@gmail.com

The new servo from injora will fit the scx24 but it is MUCH larger than the stock As1. No if Axial had updated the As1 they would have advertised it. However, i might be the only guy on the planet who wants a titanium geared upgraded As-1 due to how small and ligjt weight it is.

@@Jakesrcadventures there's a spot in the park my stock C10 cleared no problem ever since I've given it the full upgrade package Servo, motor, +4axles. I've been unable to clear without my winch. I'm going to get one just so I can try to chase it with my C10.. the controller looks pretty nice as well yet I don't know why all the spectrum biz all over everything it was kinda a club to have one of their cool controllers now it looks like everything else.

@@dumpsterstu4474 see that is why i did my scx24 first mods video- If more people were actually crawling theh would realize that a lot of their upgrades are actually downgrades- and every ounce that isnt needed is a problem- especially if its in the wrong location. What really sucks is how toxic the facebook groups and stuff are- but its because the people recommending different mods dont actually crawl enough to know what matters. Im excited to hear your thoughts on the ax24!

And I couldn't agree more about "sycophant" so-called CZcams reviewers. They drive me nuts. Also, take a look at WPL for a good example of a company growing a grassroots following by treating its customers with respect and gratitude. I'm an Axial/SSD guy, but the way WPL interacts with regular folks is gold.

@@NaturallyRC i am familiar with wpl but i haven't gotten one. I was thinking when my oldest boy is old enough i might buy him a kit and build it with him :-)

Subscribed, forgot to say.

@@NaturallyRC glad to have ya!

@@Jakesrcadventures Great idea. I built the C44 last year, which you can see operating on my own CZcams. More like a static model than an outdoor-ready rig, even though I got the version with mostly metal parts. Breaks easily compared to my tenth scalers, but a fun build nevertheless, and the price is right.

Normally i actually prefer to have all shocks stock but my unlimited rig has more travel in the rear. It is absolutely wild what that thing can do. Maybe the new proline shocks will be better- but imho at the point the best shock on the market in my experience is the stockers! No extra weight and good travel for how short they are.

I have the stock shocks on most of my rigs. I run them upside down with brass added to the reservoir. I use brass rod I bought at the hobby shop. Adds a little low unstrung weight.

@@GeezerGramps heck yeah! I run mine upside down on the front just so that the resovoirs dont rotate out and get caught on my tires lol. So annoying when that happens

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Yup! I have been VERY impressed with friends with hyrax's- even when i was running bigger/ vented/ modified tires- and their hyraxs were stock. They have crazy potential

You run them on the wheels they come with or remount them?

Do i dont have hyrax myself, a close buddy does. I have the proline super swampers though, and i LOVE the wheels they came with! Ill actually be using them for my super swamper comparison.

@@Jakesrcadventures you should get a set or two! great tiny tire

@@GeezerGramps I run mine on different wheels

For the most part i agree. I do think the tvp chassis will be more difficult to work with, and oddly i actually really like the worm gear- So overall i think it will be positive, i just cant help but think it could have been more positive if done differently.

They could have done many thing to improve this over the SCX. Just not at this price point. Just look to the TRX4M. That really isn’t anything revolutionary. It doesn’t even come stock with bearings. I am not a engineer or anything so other than adding “upgrades” out of the box, I am really not sure what any of these companies can do to improve these small scale stuff.

Lolol its a long drop

He made it very clean in that video that they most certainly are not the same vehicle- But they are similar in design and VERY similar in how they look.

@@Jakesrcadventures I wasn't putting it on him to be clear, but when I saw it I commented it looked like a WLtoy, and 2 days later He has a video of one with the exact same configuration down to SOA 4ws, ESC in Chassis, so yeah not exactly the same but if it was music it would be, Ice Ice Baby vs Under Pressure.

@@GrimJerr yeah and i totally agree. We will see how well recieved they are but it was an odd move from axial and it certainly wouldnt have been mine.

I dont know that any brand can compete with furitek for quality and bang for the buck.

Heck yeah 🤘🏻

Sssoooooooo, what?

@@Jakesrcadventures I want to ses it on the rocks 😄

Luckiy my buddy was able to go to hobby town and get it replaced immediately- Customer service is great but it doesnt replace broken parts- and i have never had ANY other rig die so quickly in the cave. Of course they have trail gears- more weight, and larger tires, and those things simply wont play nicely with plastic gear servo's. I am really excited to see some cool bodies on ax24's!

I have 2 Traxxas vehicle and not 1 single part has failed or broken through normal usage, I cannot say that about ANY Axial product I own !

Axial always uses a few components that are just too cheap. I view traxxas as being tougher- but in this case they arent.

Glad to have ya!

They ship unvented so one was squished. They are all vented now.

Thanks!

Glad to have ya!

So, for "what kind of tires" it depends on what size you want. Do you want to fit the tires into the stock body- or do you want to cut the body?

I know Matt pretty well as he is local to me and although i cant disprove what you said beyond a shadow of a doubt i can tell you that i absolutely know that his passion for rc's is legitimate, he absolutely loves what he is doing, and ill say that i do believe his intentions are absolutely to be honest. With that said, i do 100% agree about the need for grass roots youtube channels sharing genuine, honest content. That is what youtube is supposed to be.

@@Jakesrcadventures Given he got the name wrong off the start, I'm not even sure he's talking about Matt. That or he's not actually watched Matt's channel. Look forward to binging your vid's and seeing more. Fantastic area of your property! I'm fortunate to be on a big wooded property. I'm new and just getting started and learning. I've built and continue to build trails on my property and now am looking at areas with an eye for course making.

@Wing Nut Bert dude I'm stoked for you! I have more to come, and I have what I think will be a pretty awesome idea for building portable customizable and cheap outdoor courses! And Matt is the man for sure, I have a new larger area local to me and I am thinking about hosting 2 giant rc get together events a year near mammoth cave, it'll be epic!!!

Thanks!

Your off to a good start, I’ll be looking forward to more videos. It cracks me up when people start dumping weight on these little crawlers & then complain because their motor burnt out or the steering servo broke. Though I agree the stock servo is crap, I’ve had them go out on a stock rig. EchoPower also makes a good servo at a reasonable price. I have one rig with one of the $50 servos that all the reviewers swear by. To be honest I can’t tell much difference between it & my Emax or echopower servos. Maybe it’s because my rigs don’t weigh 800g.

Thanks! I mean, if people want to make a 20lbs model car than can barely drive around more power to them- Its just hard seeing every new person asking for advice being told by 100 people to buy 100 different silly things by people who dont even crawl! I have only really run 1 nicer servo, it was Matt's Shift servo- it was so fast and strong that it totally flung me off my line. I looked at him embarrassed because i was so caught off guard haha But generally i find the emax's to be all i need, and out of the first 4 i bought only 1 has burnt out, and it wasnt even the oldest one! The c10 shown in the video is still running the original emax i put into it YEARS ago! Anyways, glad to have you. I am going to try very hard not to make too many LONG videos like this but i reckon a few folks will enjoy em haha

Im stoked! He's the man!

Thanks! Me too!

Haha in similar fashion i never watch knife, gun, or survival videos haha You have encourage people, myself included, to get out and do more crawling seperate of the marketing. I hope to do something similar in my own way!

I agree with you Matt. But I also try to keep in mind that for some, sponsorship may be the only way they can afford stuff, so I can't fault them for taking advantage of the opportunities it affords them. They just need to be more up front about it. But it's also up to the viewers to be educated enough to disseminate bias when they see links for products, etc. It's about balance, but not at the expense of honesty. Most folks can't afford to buy tons of stuff and experiment like yourself and some others on YT. They need the honest info when choosing what to spend their limited budgets on. (I'm making the assumption you're fortunate enough to have the means to buy lots of kit, based on you're vid's and, for one, appreciate you doing so for our benefit.) Your expenditures on the hobby are obviously much greater than most can afford and are appreciated! Thanks!

@@wingnutbert9685 really appreciate that! I definitely put a ton into it but I enjoy trying the new things out.
