Would love to see Neil give a more comprehensive and detailed build video on this rig. He FLAT NAILED IT! Scale details AND performance all in one neat package. He obviously has the eye for detail, and the technical expertise for building effective crawlers. I for one, would love to see a detailed list, and explanation of the parts he used.
It's funny what i 'm not the only guy who thinks to used jewel buckle for imitate a hook winch. 😆
Beatiful 4wd and nice drive.
I did the same
The 1/24 scale has become what the hobby used to be for the larger scale cars. Nice capable starter cars at a reasonable price. Tons of after market support and enjoyable and affordable for anyone at any level. Hope it stays this way for a bit.
That was some amazing crawling I gotta say. Best one I've seen yet for the scx
Crazy huh? Almost unthinkable with all that weight.
Very cool video thank you for sharing. I just ordered this rc truck yesterday off Amazon . Looking forward for its arrival tomorrow😊
I love this.
My scx24 gladiator is going to pinch some of these ideas.
My shocks damped well using lithium moly grease worked through from the shocks oil wells, upside-down mounting to retain grease
I have come up with a great mod for shocks gives you both compression and rebound dampening with no leaks, and no loss of travel.
I take the shock shaft and grind the shock head (piston) flat with the shaft on 2 opposite sides than added Traxxas #5040 20 Million weight fluid. the flattened side of the shock shaft head allow the 20 MWF to pass achieving dampening both in compression and rebound, you can adjust the amount of dampening with how much fluid you add. It will not reduce the travel of the shock in either compression or extension. It does not leak out so no mess no excessive maintenance required. The shocks I tried this on where HR adjustable clones off Amazon, with a 17mm length shaft with a 3mm dia. and 3mm tall head with the weight of my vehicle I added approximately 3mm of 20MWF worked well, I used a toothpick flattened on one end to use to measure the amount of fluid I placed in each shock so they would all have the same amount of dampening. This mod will work with any shock that has a shaft with a piston type head. I have had great sucess with several different shocks. I am waiting for my order of double barrel shock to give this mod a try on them. I think you will find this a great solution for the inherent problems with these small shocks.
Love your videos, keep up the good work.
This sounds like a solution very well worth investigating. I just received my first SCX24 today, so played with it a bit after work this afternoon. I have a set of Mofo RC oil shocks coming, but I'm a bit dubious of them actually not leaking, so have been considering other possible options. I pulled one of the stock shocks tonight just to check their construction. Then dug around in my garage trying to see if I had any grease "thick" enough to provide some damping, but NOT make a mess in the end. And oddly enough, the thing that crossed my mind was... wait for it.... Some REALLY heavy wt diff fluid! Wasn't sure what wt to try, but now, thanks to your suggestion, I at least have a starting point with which to begin experimenting. So, 20 MWF and some shaft head mods... Seems like a reasonable place to start. Thanks for the ideas!! At the end of the day, what we need is a bit of controlled stiction. Not so much that it binds or impedes free shaft travel, but just enough to provide enhanced friction so that friction damped shocks can actually provide some damping. 20 MWF sounds a bit thick to me. Isn't that almost like silicone ear plugs? The principle is sound, and I would guess that the key is the shaft head mods, and *just* the right amount of fluid... Think I'll give this a try... Amazon, here I come! AGAIN! Haha
Crazy the right rear wheel crawl in to the fender and bend the stock plastic link for some seconds ,minute 3.08 !
Yous guys always have the best rigs and builds. So luck with Neil with his creations/ideas he's finally mastered what we all been wanting well as for me ....installing a winch on these 24 scale trucks. I would like to get that winch mount for sure. Thank a bunch for them vids. Like your honest and true reviews helps a lot. Rock n Roll 🤘🏻
much appreciated
Nice I was thinking about buy it
Neil is amazing! Love his builds! Glad I found this channel it’s great! Keep it up
Talented, motivated and getting better with each build. Only been at it 2 years.
I'm watching this, and all of a sudden I hear Pescadero, off Highway 1. Havnt heard about that place since I lived there. Great build and demonstration.
😃How can i missed that! Wow!!!🤯 Best ugrades so far.💪🙃
Pretty amazing where that can go all loaded up. I just got one, time to add brass.
Yeah, so crazy good
Hey a local! I stay closer to Lovers Point down south of you. Just picking up my first smaller scale, the blue Gladiator. Thanks for the great videos!
Awesome job on this project!🙌🏼
Wow it looks amazing with the scale parts. Tire on back is a nice touch! 👏🏾
Yeah. so much scale and performance
I just ordered the grey/white bronco today at my local shop, he said they was in FedEx land so waiting for it sucks lol
I just bought my 2 boys the gladiator and the betty. I like them. I'm looking at getting the RC4WD Toyota for myself. Tucson Arizona has a ton of great rock crawling places.
Were able to buy a Betty huh? Where?
Steve! Do NOT get the rc4wd... extremely poor performance by comparison to the axial- or damn near any other 24. Grab a deadbolt or the c10...
@@RCReviewChannel I got both at Ace Hardware Hobby Store in Tucson AZ. They have everything in stock from all the major companies. I was quite surprised how good the selection was.
Excellent build and upgrades!looks killer.👍💯
Glad you like it
What an amazing performing truck. Great build guys👍
Looks and performance achieved!
I have one of these gladiators on the way and it is the scx 24. Is there a video or list of the upgrades? This has to be the best performing one I've seen on CZcams so far. Soooo many questions.
Awesome! Gotta love those SCX24's. Great out of the box, but here we see what it can really do with a few upgrades. Thanks
The best vehicles are the good ones with a lot of upgrade potential.
@@RCReviewChannel So true!
With such a location everybody has to RC crawl, like the one on the background. Great machine and seems that non oil shocks are good. Caio Nanni
I put a dab of dielectric grease. Just a little. Spread it around the inside. Not too much. Takes most of the bounce out of it who’s not inhibiting the springs or making a mess.
I like the viscosity and light “slickness” of dielectric.
can't ask for a better view, thank little truck is quite impressive, thanks!
Had to make a video!
Thanks. You should try the Element RC Ecto! Its a beast.
Like you're vids
Some people use a dab of grease in shocks and install upside down to help stay in
For dampening even with stock shocks
Outstanding work again gentlemen.
What killer terrain!
Outstanding play!
I think HotRacing makes an oil dampening shock for the 1/24 scale rigs, maybe look into that and do a review for us 😄👍🏻
We're waiting for someone to recommend it. Really suspicious that we haven't seen/heard anything on em.
I have treal 40mm oil shocks in my gladiator. They barely leaked any 50wt oil in the 5-6 months I have had them. I’ve topped them off once since I first filled them and there was about 3/4 still left. I just had to put some of the softer hot racing telescoping shock springs to make them right. Not sure why, but they have stopped selling those . But The shorter hot racing oil shocks you are speaking of have also been good to me when using 50 wt oil. They have about the same travel as the treals and are a bit shorter. I would recommend trying them
Great spot and great build!
Are the lipos safe to handle for beginners or casual rc fans though? Everyone on rc forums keep saying you need special balance chargers etc and fireproof bags when charging lipos specifically yet these are shipped with simple usb chargers and no other safety precautions or instructions!!!
We’re did you got the back bumper and gas’s Cance mount and tire mount. ?????
Crazy how well it crawls. I think I need one lol
Impressed us for sure.
Where can i purchase one,Amazon doesn't sale them
Nice. Imagine how good it would do with all that weight off the top
Oh yeah awsome action
Hey I live up Pescadero creek road which exits at that beach onto 1.
wow
Good job
Thanks
When you do voice over in the kitchen 😂 great vid yet again but could of done without the background noise 🤷♂️
Id like to see how you rigged the winch.
Looks like a great build! I just bought one, no mods yet. I didn't have the pieces in the same spot. Those look nice! I bought some bluing and can use it on my cheap brass pieces. I have two other SCX24s, one is lightly modded and the other is highly modded with a low CG frame and RC4WD Mud Slingers. It's pretty awesome for crawls, and I'd love to bring it out to that beach.
My neighbor has a course in his garage. I uploaded some footage of it. It's on 3 4x8' sheets. I wonder if you have ever built a course or would ever think about building one for yourself.
Great share. Good luck
I hear guys saying you can find the winch spool setup for 10$ on Amazon then just slap it on any micro servo really (you don’t need a $70 100oz servo to winch these little things)
Yup, this one is overkill.
Where did you get the gas cans on the back/all the other scale parts
Which rock sliders are these? I don’t see info on them in the video or description. Thanks for the video, awesome setup you have there. 👍✌️
Awesome review all your videos are amazing! I have a Furitek ESC Komodo motor Brushless system that works really well but I can’t get the vehicle to move any earlier than 26%. I have played with different tunes but haven’t been able to get any “earlier response”. I was wondering if you may know of some “throttle curve tunes” that can help to get the power to come in sooner/move? Thanks.
It looked like the rear axle wrapped completely under the body on that first little dip. Did you forget to connect a lower rear link?
Is it so amazing run 😍😍
thank you
Were you able to keep the V2 receiver or did you have to change it out for the Fuytek speed controller?
What's the light controller you used?
What tires are these in the video? I know they are RC4WD but which one specifically?
What sliders on those? Can’t find it online
With the steering that sharp, are your axle shafts not wearing down by the axle cups?
You make great videos!! Did you review the Rebel Rc Rebelcon??greats from Austria
hwy1 was great. where they at
Have not seen em.
Should do a more in depth how to install that witch I want that exact setup..:(
Nice
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
thank you.
Still thinking how much I need to spend(without furitek mod) until it runs well.
Definitely a great video an great rc jeep you pick a nice area to take it to I've been their I live in California an I like taking my rc to San Diego. Like to ask were did you get yr gladiator from
Got it here at Amain snp.link/07584ab7
I’ve emailed multiple times. I’d like to get that winch mount
I don't have that info anymore
Hey, Can you add a link for that servo winch mount to print?
Great video with an exceptional location! I'm curious.... What did your $150 crawler end up costing after all the mods?
My guess is $500
can someone please send me the stl files for the reef 99 winch mount i would like to print one
Have you tried out the hot racing oil filled shocks?
Have not tried those! What's the word?
Do you have the 3d printer files?
No. I think Neil will sell the winch mount. His contact is in the description
Can you emphasize on overdrive? I’m new to the RC world and would love to know how to apply overdrive to my scx24 gladiator :)
I think it is where the front wheels go faster then the back I think 🤔
@@adam11wilson haha! Thanks for replying bro! After some research, it’s basically changing out the stock gearing in the front to a gear that has less teeth. Now I wanna know if 13T is better or if 14T is better?
Does that reefs rc micro winch require a speed controller, or can that just plug straight in to any open channel with a 3 position switch?
Plug straight in our Flysky Gt5
@@RCReviewChannel will a Gt3B work as well?
leave the stock motor in! This little 24 only needs new tires and steering servo out of the box... Save your money
I don’t like when people throw around the word “ultimate” haha. Great running location, just perfect.
Thanks 👍
$160 scx24 vs $1500 scx24
Obviously the trash isn’t the problem with the homeless camps.
Nobody can see thats Jeeps anymore,puke
Hey kid stop throwing rocks not cool little buddy
What are the grippiest and softest tires you can put on the gladiator scx24?
