Great channel. Nice to see someone that really knows the hobby and isn't just about promoting and/or fitting all the latest metal parts. Subscribed.
Glad to have ya!
Hi from Spain; The approach of your channel is very interesting. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks
Thank you for this video, I'm new to RC and looking to tinker with a 24th scale, I'm doing research on scx24, what kind of tires for a crawler, can't wait to see what the next build and upgrades will be.
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?
Good video. I agree with your thinking. Love your cave. What state are you in. Looks like Arkansas or Missouri. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see your video on cheap high performance rig.
Thanks! This is in Kentucky
Good vid! Great closing statement!! 😆😆
I've not watched every YT vid on 1/24's, but have watched quite a sh!t load. One thing I'm surprised to see, or not see as is the case, is more DIY'ing. I realize stuff in the US is quite cheap and easy to get with free shipping (So not the case up here in Canada!!!). But for a lot of folks, spending $10-20 on a part is a big chunk of cash they may not have could go to more important bills. Like frames/rails. They could be diy'd with simple tools and cheap materials like wood or found bits of metal or plexiglass, etc. Takes some thinking and careful measuring, but totally doable for the average person. Not that this is or should be the focus of your channel. I just mention it to through it out there for consideration when doing reviews or how-to's on the topic of low to no budget mod's. :)
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!
Awesome video
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
Have to look at the camera people are going to feel like you're detached away from them when you're looking around everywhere and so busy I don't feel like you're talkin to them I feel that way anyway maybe I'm wrong great stuff
