  • After the recent SCX24 videos, “Can SCX24 climb and rock crawl?” and “Should you run with or without foams?”, quite few of you have been asking what is under my SCX24? How is it setup? So today, I would like show you my current setup. It is still going through changes, but I think it is very close to where I want it to be.

    Just wanted to say a thank you for sharing your setup.
    I tried to replicate the idea on my Mini-Z 4x4 playing with different weights, mountings, setups and testing different weight distributions, 60-40, 55-45 and 50-50.. I can definitely notice how well the car climbs with 60:40, but due to the hard-body and high COG it tips forward too easily, 50-50 lost alot of climbing ability, I finally settled on 55-45 as a good balance for my car. This setup actually lost some overall weight, which reduces stress on the servo and motor, I quite enjoy the lightness in driving.
    Pls keep doing what you do, love all the details, analysis and actual testing to back up the mods, not just adding as much weight to the car as possble. Thanks again! Now, let me go order that SCX24!

    • @BigSungHobbies
      @BigSungHobbies  Před 3 lety +2

      Thank you for the kinds words. 60/40 is an ideal weight distribution, but I look at it as a starting point to fine tune from there. The end result will differ based on all the characteristics as you stated. I am glad that you found a weight distribution that works for you. Definitely pick up SCX24. I still believe it to be one of the best mini RC crawlers. Can't wait to hear what you think comparing to Mini-Z.

(You can almost get three from one) There is a noticeable difference in tire conformity and I found the crawling ability to improve. I think you'll be happy with the results. :)

    I would like to hear about the angle on the shocks. We have been "playing" on lunch at work and the jeeps are killing me in speed and climbing. The tires everyone has are stock, but the Cherokee seems to have a slightly larger tire. And I mean very slightly. Maybe 1/16 of an inch. My c10 just like yours but no mods yet. I enjoy your videos! Please keep it up!

    • @BigSungHobbies
      @BigSungHobbies  Před 2 lety +1

      Hmm the bigger tire size will make a bit of difference, but they shouldn't be able to kill you in speed and climbing. C10 has much better center of gravity, so it's very intriguing. As for leaning the shocks inward does three things:
      1. It makes the spring a softer rate
      2. You gain more wheel travel with the same amount of shock travel
      3. It lowers overall ride height of the chassis.

    Hi Big Sung can you please make a video on why you have set your shocks up this way I have a C10 and I would really like to know why you set up your shocks like this. I have ordered some rock creepers and have done most of the mods you explained in this video. Thanks a lot for making this it has really helped.

    • @BigSungHobbies
      @BigSungHobbies  Před 3 lety

      Thanks for the suggestion. I will think over it. At a high level, I have done it this way since I come from 1/10 scale world. We mount the shocks upside down to help with lowering CG. The benefit might not seem much, but every bit adds to the overall effect. So I automatically applied that to SCX24. But then the saving is so miniscule due to overall weight. But I found that there is a side benefit. Having the body at bottom helps with keeping the heavy grease/green slime. The leakeage happens as the shock rod where the shock compress and extends. By having that point up, it really helps to keep them in. Those are the positive effect, and there is no downside, so I would recommend this mod. Hope that helps to explain the reason.

    Any input/ opinions on the Treal high clearance 4 link for C10? I’m considering high clearance next but am stuck at what the best material would be (aluminum vs 3D printed vs brass etc.) and if I should go ahead and do an aluminum or brass skid while under there. As far as metal drive shafts I plan to pursue that later on.

    • @BigSungHobbies
      @BigSungHobbies  Před 2 lety

      I don't have personal experience with HC links from Treal; however, their products have been very solid and I don't think you will go wrong with them. That being said, I have been using custom high clearance links from @rcsteve710. Although it's a bit costly, I have been very happy with the quality. The nice thing about it is that you can get it custom, and I would go with brass front and aluminum rear. As for skid, I don't see a reason to change out from plastic. Plastic slides better than aluminum and/or brass. Hope that helps.
