I’ve been in rc for around 8yrs or so. Been crawling for probably 3-4. Didn’t get into it a ton until lately. Now I’m ate up with it lol. Just built one of these with Dig and thinking I may add 4ws to it as well! Make sure to check out that video also. Thanks for the comment! Love chatting with others about the hobby
Dang dude, that's a badass piece of machinery! Looks a bit high CG, with the lift. If you fix the body mount, and move the battery, you could lower it a bit. I'd like to see more videos of it crawling. When i look at this one, i see a desert buggy trail truck. I really like those bodies.
Mrs. Rabbit yeah it’s a bit high now. I really just tossed that body on however it would work for now. I was running the stock body and it would go everywhere lol. Already had the magnet in place on the tray so I just glued one to the body and slapped it on. I’ll probably work with it later if I have trouble with it. It still out crawls any of my other trucks and a couple of my buddies trucks easily lol. Like almost every line on my home course is just simple with this thing. Where as you have to really try with the others. The first line where I used 4ws is a bit harder with this truck just because it is so long that the front catches the lip of the 2nd climb but other than that spot it kills everything else. I plan to get it out on some real stuff eventually but I’m in Ky and it just keeps RAINING! Thanks for watching!
@@2fmrc yeah that thing is a badass machine! I can see that it needs some tinkering, obviously the body is very cool, and that if you wanted a strickly comp crawler you'd pick a different body, i can see that for sure. I really want to see what this thing can do with all the kinks worked out. What ive been contemplating lately is the battle between different style setups. 1. Crazy articulation comp crawlers. Or 2. Limited articulation. Both have their pros and cons. If I had that body, (saw it on Bullgearrc yt channel), i think id want it on a desert buggy trail runner. If i might make a suggestion that i think will help make that thing a supreme crawler (though it already is very good)... Get 2 drone batteries, run them in parallel, and place them on both sides next to the motor/trans. You can either buy the skids, or make them with styrene (what i did). This lowers CG, and clears a path for the servo. Then fix the rear body mount to clear the path for the rear servo. Then you can raise the shock mounts to lower the rig a bit, which will lower CG. A little belly drag isn't too bad and helps prevent tipping when a downhill wheel is too low. The side skid plates also help with that, considerably. Looking forward to seeing more of this thing out in the wild!
I just bought a deadbolt as my first rc crawler and love it. so far ordered tires for extra grip but want to keep it mostly stock coz its my first. now that I've got bit by the bug I was thinking of a custom 1/24 scale build to test my skills. that's when I came across your video. I love how customized you deadbolt is!!! can you do a build video focused on beginners doing their first custom build. some terms and mods were not simple to understand right away.
Are the links on the deadbolt from a gladiator? I'm getting ready to try all gladiator links on mine. Love the look of yours hope mine ends up similar! Thats about the baddest 24 I've seen. I also have one of those injora frame kits with all deadbolt suspension, and probably will do the same to it. I am really a fan of the long wheelbaseas I've got a built up gladiator that can go plenty of places my ecto goes! And it's a built 1/10th! Dont let the size fool you
Yeah I could do an overview of it at least. I bought a set of links for the scx24 that came with all different sizes. Most of mine I cut the ends off the plastic links and make my own (custom length) brass high clearance links with. Then I can make it whatever length I want.
Great build. BTW how did u install the charisma shocks onto the frame and axles. The screws that came with the shocks are too big to put them on the frame. And the longest screws that came with car are too short to use them.
I used some long hot racing screws that came with a couple of the diff covers I have. Put some no.2 washers on them to keep them from popping through the eye on the carismas. Works great. Really just need some longer screws and some small washers. Wish they came with some better mounting options.
@@2fmrc thx for the reply. I ordered some M 1.4 x 12mm screws and washers and a brass tube with 2mm outer and 1.4 inner diameter to fill up the space between the thin screws and the mounting part of the shocks... Excuse my bad English. I'm German. 😁
Awesome, I like very much your mods. I want to do the same. I have the same radio FS GT5 and I get new front axle and emax servo. What is the ESC do you mount on it? Thanks
MrBrightside59 it’s the savox sh-0257mg. I’m actually running it in the front and the back now. I am going to be doing a servo comparison video soon hopefully and it’ll be included in the testing! Savox SH-0257MG Super Speed Metal... www.amazon.com/dp/B004K3BVYM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Good evening..hope all is well....Question about the Hot Racing serve plate. I see they have two available. One is the standard servo plate and they have one for the Emax servo. Which one do you recommend for installing the Savox servo? Tanks for your time and effort...looking forward to new videos...Have a great day!
Skip Miller definitely the emax version for anything besides the stock servo. The regular aluminum one is built just like the stock mount and don’t fit much of anything else. I use the emax version for all of mine with the emax and for the savox. Hope that helps!
@@2fmrc You da man...Thanks, it helps a whole heap....you could have gotten back a little faster......Sheesh 26 minutes....LOL...thank you so much. Very appreciative of your help and advice!!!!!!
@@2fmrc I am modeling my first build off of your Jeep CRC...Just love the way the whole thing looks. CR24 Aluminum shock and Full Send wheel weights in the mail...Thanks!!!
@@2fmrc Greetings...me again....LOL....I did a little more digging and I see that Hot Racing states with using the EMax servo plate you must us the EMax servo horn...does that hold true for the Savox? Appreciate your time!
Honestly I probably have close to $6-700 in this one now. That’s not including the transmitter cause I already had it. I just grabbed a receiver for it. It all adds up quick!
It came off a toy truck I found at a loves gas station. Hard to find now but wal mart had some similar at one time. They can still be found there from time to time. I ended up losing the metal panels on it and cut some out of lexan. Much better
Hey Matt how do you like the hot racing massive diff cover with skid plate? I like that it is heavier than the other options I just wondered if it also hindered clearance any?
I like it pretty well. I’m gonna take the skid off because it hangs up a lot. I even thought about grinding off the sharp edges on the brass to round it out a bit. Honestly I’d probably buy the one that’s a little less weight and don’t have the skid included. It’s not any bigger than stock and probably wouldn’t hang up as bad.
@@2fmrc that's what I was wondering the skid hangs low. And without it the diff cover is a cube lol. And if you gotta grind the corners yer better off going with stock size brass lol.
@@2fmrc bro. Dont even start thinking about how much you have into it. I jave thousands into just 1 airplane and i have over 20 of them. From micro to giant scale.
SpektOne it actually came on a little truck from a loves gas station. It was $10 for the entire truck. Pulled the body for this build. It has a full interior also but it required the body to be mounted really high and it was just too much weight up high so I didn’t use it
SpektOne I’m actually going to order another stock deadbolt body and paint it. Then cut it to fit this body. The lines on the stock body are almost exactly the same so it’ll work great to replace the heavy metal plates on this body.
The biggest factor was the metal plates on this cage. Tossed those and made some out of lexan. Also lowered the body more. Made a huge difference. This rig is a joke compared to what I build now lol. Still looked cool though!
@@2fmrc I agree! the stuff you got now is honestly too capable... I designed some limit straps out of TPU that can work for either of the 3 bodies with a simple mounting solution. Was thinking about selling them, maybe you could test some out for me?
@@2fmrc thank you! Love the content! Going to be stealing some tricks and tips to help me build this c10 I just picked up the other day🤘 keep the content coming
