- The Mini Crawler scene is getting insanely popular, and as an early Christmas gift to myself, I decided up upgrade my FMX FCX24.
In this episode on 10th Scale Garage, I install some aftermarket shocks and some extended links on this epic little RC crawler. The FCX24 responds to upgrades really well and with the addition of some upgraded wheels and tires, this mini crawler is unpoppable. We even compare it to an Axial SCX-24. What upgrades should we add next?

For better steering angle, there are 2 screws in the front of the axle that hit on the steering link when at full lock. If you just move those 2 screws to the back side of the axle where the 2 empty screw holes are, you get a bit more steering angle.
On the front axle there's a lil hex bolt that goes in from the front, put it in from behind and you can turn more cause the head doesn't block anymore ✌️💜🖖 my brother taught me that
Awsome video brother! I really like the new extended wheelbase! Looks way better!👍🏻👊🏼😃
I have one. Took it out a couple months ago when I got it. Flat asphalt, no obstacles at all. Within a couple minutes, the front drive shaft broke and fell off. After making me send receipt and photos of the truck and a bunch of other information, the told me that that truck is not covered at all. I will never by anything from horizon or FMS again. For a one or two dollar piece of plastic? Really? They lost me as a customer. Too bad because I really liked the truck.
That's crap. Parts are so cheap they couldn't send ya a driveshaft!!
@@Wreckedekcoupe they flat out said no. Weird. Anyway I appreciate your response and will continue to watch your channel. Thanks!
I have the stock shaft if you want it.
@@10thScaleGarage that’s very kind of you. First I’ll get with my LHS once more and tell them what happened. If they can’t help I’ll definitely get back with you. Happy to pay you and the shipping.
Nice upgrade and great 👍 video man.But I think that you have to turn in the opposite side the big links for more ground clearance. Am I wrong?
I think ur correct
From this video I ordered the rear end. HOWEVER, I'm slapping (well, not reallyt slapping)
on the Injora mini pin tires. They're tall and grip. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks for watching
Nice mod! I hope you guys do another mini crawler Christmas episode!
Awesome build brother. I imagine based on the video that 4-wheel steering is probably going to be the best bet for turning radius improvements.
You’re probably right.
Just ordered one. I will probably add more mods than it's worth :)
Love the upgrades. Maybe chop the front fenders and bumper off next.
Awesome Build!
It looks awesome with the stretch.
I think so too.
Nice upgrade enjoy the weekend i like it
Next mod obviously needs to be larger tires. Get a set of 60mm or larger. It'll transform the performance and looks for the better.
64 mm injora rock terrains or Lgrp 63mm tires for sure
Is that chassis plastic?
Hey! I love my FMX sweet video running some of the same parts
awesome video
Stock vs stock, fcx24 is better, but you can't beat axial when it comes to parts availability.
cool rc and upgrade,nice crawling
Thanks!
Good afternoon brother cool crawler nice colors
Thanks Bobby!
I am looking for a drive shaft capable of 4ish inches for the 1/18 scale. How long are those rear extended driveshafts and will it stretch to 4 inches
I would take that factory roll cage off looks funny on there and add one rock beds, these are very capable rigs my fcx24 outperforms any of my scx24 at least on my course
I'm lost on the benefits of using those links. They look upside down? Don't we want more clearance.
Increasing the wheelbase while improving the rigidity of the rear end. Plus, I think it looks cool. The links are installed correctly.
Another enjoyable video,great build. I am glad you brought up that there is no instructions for putting different or original parts on the RC cars. i wish all companies would send instructions,or give us a site to go to download.I will at meat i am all Thumbs when putting these parts on.Maybe you could reach out to the companies,and suggest something to help up learn how to put them on.Other wise great video,Stay safe,and Happy Holidays to you and your subscribers.🎄🏎
I know some companies watch my videos. They either comment or reach out through email sometimes.
Bought a 3s infraction, the shocks need upgrading. I’m not sure the route I want to go down
Treal make everything for this
How can you compare this to the scx24 lol I'm a big fan of fms as they make there rigs affordable and with plenty of upgrades the scx24 your paying premium for the name
I am wishing for upgrades for my scx24. Axles, double Barrel shocks and New engine and wervo
Can you make it 4ws
Yes!
Noticed you aren't reviewing anything that has come out recently other than the trx4m? You stopped posting video's? Why?
Right I've been waiting for new videos..
I honestly haven’t seen anything that I’m dying to have….. 2022 was more about finishing projects that I’ve had laying around and building our new crawler course. Hang in there. I went to the hobby shop today.
Really? Yo your tyres are tiny and look funny. 60ml plus dude. Swamp kings from lgrp. Do it! And grab sum brass portals....game changer
Really.
Bigger tires fosho. Just about anything in 60mm. Trail warriors, swamp kings, comp pins
Can’t find wheels I like in that size.
Who cares what you like. Does the truck like them. LOL
Major drilling? Come on man that wouldn't have took long.
More prep than anything. You definitely want to get it straight.
