Absolutely great job! I don’t think I could possibly handle getting it done. Reminds me so much of the CLOD BUSTER my Son & I had more than 25 years ago. We both loved it.
Joseph Morelli thanks! It was a fun build. Not near as bad as it seems. The thing is a beast!
Thanks for replying to all the questions. I was able to filter through the comments to find my answers.
You have earned a subscriber! From peer pressure, im now buying 2 scx24's. WAS getting a case of enduro24's, but a 1s is NOT an option.
(Something else to cram n MY brain of the other 40+ years of rc crap. LoL!)
Old-RC Crawler-Dude lol thanks so much for the sub! I would highly advise not to go the enduro route. I took mine out again recently and it let me down once again. I’ll b posting the video soon hopefully.
That thing is going to be sick. Now I want a gt5 and a extra front axle. Lol
It’s so simple to add the rear steer on these. The castle esc and revolver motor are unbelievably smooth and adding in the gt5 and rear steer just put it over the edge. It is a freakin monster for sure!
Super cool.
Awesome video brother! I subbed also
Thank you so much!!!
Im your 420th subscriber
AK47 Beaverman that’s so awesome man! I can’t believe it honestly!!!
AK47 Beaverman thanks so much!
I was watching your selectable steering video. Nice job. You are the most informative guy out there. Thank for all the help. Can you tell me what receivers you use for the SCX24?
I really appreciate that! If I change out the esc I either use a flysky Gt5 transmitter and receiver or the flysky noble transmitter & receiver. I really like both. I always ran the Gt5 until I got the Noble. Now I sort of switching everything over to it. Love that transmitter!
I just bought a GT5 I’m waiting for UPS to deliver. I couldn’t find it in the manual which you clarified it’s too bad the channel 3 switch can’t turn the rear steering mode selected on or off.
Great Video! Can you use a switch on the handle to operate just the rear steering?
Do you have a part list ? Maby a link for the remote
Just came across this video for the 1st time About to watch the rest
Sorry. I’ve tried to get better about posting the links with my more current vids. Here’s a link to the transmitter and I’ll try to watch the vid again to remember what else I used lol

Did you put bastones quad steer in it
will it work with the Furitek lizard?
With spot do you plug the rear servo in yo the receiver?
What shocks are those I like em
Those are the aluminum oil filled carisma shocks. Search MSA-1E shocks and you should find them!
So question, been thinking about doing this to a future build. Do you have both servos on a y connect or are they in separate channels that was then programmed into your receiver? I figured front servo would be plugged into the servo spot and the rear plugged into a ch3? I would like to use a spectrum set up Ive just never tried this steering mesh before. Thanks for the help!
On the fsgt5 that I’m running you just run the 2nd servo on channel 3. I think that’s how most of them work cause if they are tied together on a y connector it’ll just do whatever the other servo is doing all the time.
@@2fmrc that is what I was thinking as well, just wanted to confirm. Thanks again! Love the content, inspired me to make some videos!
@@WD-1477 awesome! I’ll check them out!
Came here to ask the same question 🙋♂️
What transmitter do you use?
What servo mount did you use for the savox? I have a 0255 and I’m trying to find a mount for it
I just hacked up the stock mount lol
If you have the extension axils do you need two front ones or will the back work with the front
Yeah you’ll need two of the fronts. I’m having this problem now with my newest build. I’m gonna go 4ws on it as well and I have the widened axles on it already but need another set so that I can have another set of fronts for the rear and they are sold out everywhere!
Great video, where did you get the axle extensions?
AK47 Beaverman hot racing makes a plus 4mm set and fullsendrc.com has +5mm fears available. The full send ones are BEEFY!
Thanks ,in process of building a jeep, dig your shocks too ,what mm lenth are they?
@@2fmrc are they discontinued? Cause I cant find them
@@cuzexa8612 the axles?
@@2fmrc yea
Does the GT5's throttle expo setting tame the SCX24's "punch?" (or do I need a better ESC to tame the punch?)
leewardstyle you can’t run the gt5 with the stock esc because the stock esc is an esc/receiver all in one. It only runs with the stock controller. So you’ll have to upgrade the esc to run the gt5
@@2fmrc Oh, I have a $8 micro esc in the mail for my GT5 install. I guess I was more concerned with cheap esc punch being diffused by the GT5's native throttle expo and I just can't wait to find out myself. LOL
leewardstyle I think the gt5 will be able to help somewhat for sure. Hard to say but I feel like with some adjustments it should be able to help it out. I mean with your dual rate adjustment and everything on the gt5 I would think you could make it a little easier to control.
@@2fmrc More weights might tame the punch/launch Im thinking. Sweet channel, great builds!
Hi, love the videos! I just purchased the castle sindwinder micro 2. Do I need to buy another mount or can I modify motor mount to install on scx24??
You have the micro esc? What motor are you going to run with it?
Well sorry should have said, about to buy it. But it comes in a combo esc and motor 4100kv castle 2mm shaft
Unless you have another motor/esc you recommend. Only reason I’m doing this is so I can hook up my fs-bs6 so I can have rear steer. I also have a lot of brass added so stock motor won’t last long.
@@Tuber359 yeah I don’t know of any way to mount that motor that comes with it. It’s quite a bit bigger I believe. I run just the esc with a couple different outrunner motors. Check out my video of the surpass motor mount by gamyrc. It shows the motor and mount needed for these.
@@Tuber359 you can always run the castle micro esc with stock motor or barrage motor also. You’ll need the castle link programmer because you’ll have to change the settings on the esc to brushed but I’ve used it that way. Works great. Then you could run your transmitter you’re wanting to run as well!
When u got extra axles, make a 6x6 😂 haha cool, I wanna make my scx24 more like a comp crawler!
Nathan’s Rc Garage I have an extra axle,driveshafts and links etc. Also have a carbon fiber chassis coming. Should be about enough parts to make it happen 😂
@@2fmrc tgh 24x chassis? i wanna put some money into the scx24! mines is bones stock, with some wheel weights! Now I'm trying to find this brushless motor on eBay that i found on ali express! lol its sensored and brushless!
Also if u find anyone o has a 3d printer get em to make some portals :D
Nathan’s Rc Garage I’ve been debating on a 3D printer myself. Do they have files somewhere for portals?! That would be awesome! The chassis I got is from garagehack or something like that.
@@2fmrc yes garage hack thats what is was! I don't believe that they have files for portals but i bet u could make money off selling files and portals! u would have to make gears and test. the gears might break since there plastic and u wouldn't need reduction since the platform does well with straight axles!
Seems to me Flysky could have let the rear steer be set to a switch. Then added the steering graphic to the main screen or an aux screen.
Gramps Ramblings yeah that’s how it was on an old setup I had and it was definitely smoother. As far as I know there is no way to set this one up to a switch but idk?
@@2fmrc My Futaba will mix using the side button but no graphics indicating which mode your in.
You guys are great! Seriously! I don’t even understand what you are talking about, never mind know how to do it if I did!
Joseph Morelli 😆 never know till you dive into it!
@@josephmorelli3191 We're discussing how different brand of tx handle the mixing of 4 wheel steering. With some tx you can set it up to switch modes, front only, ft & rear steer. rear steer only or crab steer, with a button on the tx others you have to go into menu to do the switching. Much easier using the button but both ways work well. None of my SCX24's have 4 wheel steer but both my Readcat Super Crawler (1/8 scale) & my Sumo (1/24) have 4 wheel steer. Can come in handy, but also can get you into trouble. It's a tool & you have to learn when to use it & which mode.
What channel did you plug the rear servo into to be able to use the crawl mode options?
Channel 3 works for the crawl mode. Just gotta go to the settings and make sure the mode is turned on before hooking it all up. Then center the servo arm!
@@2fmrc Awesome! Thanks for the info!
So I got a 4ws capra.. and can't figure out how to us this crawl mode to work with both servos? What am I doing wrong? Does the second servo need to be in a specific channel?
Yes it needs to be in Ch3 slot and make sure the crawl mode on the controller is on.
Got it!! Thank you 😊
How do you reduce the torsional twist from the drive shafts?
Is it coming from the driveshafts or the shocks? The stock shocks bounce a lot and you’ll get a ton of twist anytime you hit the throttle it seems. I haven’t had much of an issue with this truck but I rarely cram on the throttle. It don’t usually need it
Do you have a video for the motor and install ?
No. I was gonna upload one but this motor has been discontinued now so they are hard to come by.
Can I hook up the stock ESC to a radio link RC4gs v2
No you can’t use the stock esc on its own with an external receiver but you can use the stock receiver with an aftermarket esc. Basically you can bypass the stock esc but not the receiver.
awesome mod but how does the front axle just install in the back with the correct rotation?
Jeffrey Mackovitch it just happens to turn the correct direction. Basically because the rear driveshaft turns the opposite direction of the front. It just works somehow lol
2FM RC I’m gonna have to try that. My scx24 has turned into a smt24 and monster trucks need 4ws.
Jeffrey Mackovitch heck yeah! You can do 4ws with the stock rx/tx but it’s just full left or full right turn with the channel 3 switch on the remote. Much better with a transmitter that’s set up for 4ws.
2FM RC I have a fly sky that I may use for 4ws crawl modes.
2FM RC check this out. czcams.com/video/Bjj8wcpUVw4/video.html
What esc are you using for this?
Sorry I didn’t see this. I’m running the castle micro sidewinder.
Getting ready to do my rear seat. My axle showed today would you still use the same servo or?
I would go with the savox 0255 or a reefs 99. The reefs is a bit bigger and makes flex a bit harder though. The 0255mg has a bit more torque than the 0257 so I’d probably pick it. The Emax is not a bad pick for the price either.
@@2fmrc I'll try one of em....I ordered a kinetic shock mod I'm excited to see how it is. If my carismas ever show up I'll see the difference.
@@tiredofinsanity I’m about to post a vid on the kinetic shocks. I like them better than my carismas!
@@2fmrc awesome! I can't wait...their wheel weights are spendy with the millstones and the two piece set but totally worth it.
How did you bind it to your flysky 5 remote
I had to swap the esc and receiver. I’m running the castle micro sidewinder esc and the flysky receiver.
Hey this is josh from the scx24 facebook page. Do you have a video of the motor and what not you used. It sounds pretty cool.
Hey! What’s up?! I actually didn’t do video on the install. Wish I had now lol. It’s the Holmes revolver with the castle micro sidewinder esc. Super easy install. Just need the motor mount from shapeways, hit racing .5 mod spur gear and a Robinson racing .5 mod 12t pinion and you’re pretty well set!
@@2fmrc thanks bud. I made a comment on fb about that dig rig. The old setup had the stock plastic links but they looks so much bigger than my c10 links. I'm trying to figure what length they are lol
@@motododo4626 I can measure them for you. I think the fronts came off my deadbolt that I started with and the rears came from a pack of extra links I bought. I cant 100% remember but I know one of them was from my deadbolt. It has longer links. The tube chassis called for the deadbolt links to be flipped. Basically put the long links off the deadbolt up front and the shorts off the deadbolt in the rear. I wanted to lengthen it a bit more so I added a longer set to the rear and a longer driveshaft that I had laying around. So it now has long links in the front and rear vs long up front and short in the rear. I have a deadbolt with the stock links on it at home I can measure for you also.
@@2fmrc yeah that would be cool. I just ordered a scx24 link kit all stock link but says it's the small medium and long links? I got the rage reloaded bouncer on it's way so prepping it all now hahaha.
@@2fmrc definitely doing a 4 wheel stearing setup
What battery are you running?
allen pavalella here’s the link to a 2s version I run. I also run the 3s. The 3s really wakes the stock electronics up lol
E-flite 7.4V 400mAh 2S 30C LiPo Battery: JST, EFLB4002S30 www.amazon.com/dp/B01632PB34/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sxNyFbWY3NBAK
How much money do you have into this rig?
Probably around $6-700 lol
How do I use a flysky gt3b with my scx24?
You have to be running a separate esc. The stock esc is an all in one unit with the receiver.
That's what I figured, thank you sir
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to stop watching your videos...first I saw was the dig setup for the scx24 now I'm seeing four wheel steer...your killing me...now I want this too😂 any set up with the dig and 4ws? Oh ya....I need to make the links too...thanks for that🤣
Haha!! No I didn’t bother with dig and 4ws on the same rig just because it’s a lot of wires really lol. I could pretty easily add it to the dig rig though. I probably have all of the parts laying around honestly. I kinda wanna see which is better. My buddy says the same thing about coming to my house. Every time he comes by he orders another $100 or so worth of stuff that I’ve decided to try lol. He’s completely built his Capra out like mine and it was not a cheap build either.
@@2fmrc I love it. Honestly compared to my actual crawlers it's cheap in comparison. I have two capras I think I'm gonna build one and keep the other stock for a while. They're so capable right out of the box! I really like the challenge of the 24s though. I just picked up a deadbolt. I really love what you did with yours. You can tell your bud it costs me at least a hundred every time I even watch one of your vids!😂
@@2fmrc I haven't watched your capra build yet...oh man...
@@tiredofinsanity I’m probably gonna post a video on it soon!
@@2fmrc great....I'll keep my wallet out🤣
