@@rc_tale.s glad we got to catch a break in the storm that day

@@NTX_RC there’s always next time! I was honestly impressed when you jumped it a little bit and it didn’t come tumbling down right there. That was a good bump!

@@NTX_RC thanks! This truck is coming along nicely. I’ll be ordering the Sequre ESC Friday when the next paycheck hits to finally get rid of ole screechy

@drewncars9505 all of us will love that, lol

@ I probably won’t even use the footage from the first part of the day Sunday and just make a video after I brought the Bronco out haha. Granted if I order it Friday that means at least one more weekend with it before it shows up

@@Carnage_Lot it looks a lot worse in slow-mo than it actually is 😂

@@TexasMiniCrawlers thanks for watching! I’m hoping to get meus isokinetic axles under this rig pretty soon and it should be nearly complete. Considering going brushless down the road too. You’re going to love the body though. I think it’s one of the coolest looking bodies for any of the mini crawlers that isn’t a super heavy one. It looks awesome and performs well even a practically stock rig

@@NTX_RC thanks! It definitely took a few tries to get a clean run

@@MonstaRC thanks! I had a white one in my cart for a few weeks after the body was released with the intention to paint it purple. Decided to buy the body and found out they added more colors and this was one of them. I think it was a great choice

This truck now has LGRP black label tires with some treal wheels and brass rings with Injora yellow inserts. The traction the truck has now is insane. I’ve been able to actually crawl over more stuff rather than just send it every time. The problem with the stock wheels/tires is they have no foam or inserts and the tires have a pretty hard compound with tiny tread blocks that don’t really allow all the small sediment and rocks to clear out. The other problem with the truck currently I think is either the motor/ESC combo stock just doesn’t have the best of low speed control along with the stock gearing. I really think either the crawler gears or a brushless setup would definitely allow me to slowly crawl over more obstacles. I’m having a lot more fun with this truck than anticipated though. I thought I would build it and leave it on the shelf until I went on vacation but I’m actually bringing it out with me every weekend now!

@ I’m working on going brushless myself, other than springs and tires I’m stock Lol

@ifunny2725 I’m still on stock shocks/springs and I’m not sure what to get or just stay stock and play with shock oil tuning. I do have the Meus isokinetic axles on the way soon which will be dope. I have no idea which brushless setup I want yet so I’m staying stock with that for now

@ I’m running the injora 59mm brass end shocks with 50wt fluid (or 40, I can’t remember). I’m they feel fantastic, but it’s all user preference

@ifunny2725 mine was a defender at first so it has the two different springs on the stock shocks. Since I already have oil I think I’ll start with adding thicker oil. If I feel like I need more flex I’ll swap out to longer shocks but right now I think it feels great. That or I may get larger tires. I got the LGRP tires in the stock size since it’s stock width. If the iso kinetic axles are wider then I might get the 63/64mm tires instead of longer shocks

@@MonstaRC thank you!

@@ONFLOOD-RC thanks!

@@MonstaRC that’s surprising! Really the only things I have been seeing break on these trucks are the differentials. Were you jumping it when it broke?

@ no, made a few fast passes, hit the smallest crack in the road and rolled it. Ive posted a video. But I’ve had this happen on every grom I’ve owned so far. But after replacing had no issue so I’m thinking the factory is putting them on to tight with no give.

@ interesting I’d almost rather have to deal with that than breaking the diffs lol. I’ve got to fix both my granite and Mojave now because of the diffs

@ yeah the servo horn is cheaper to replace, but the diffs are a much simpler fix in my opinion. But yeah those stock diffs are terrible, I’ve upgraded my diffs in my granite groms I believe this new BLX comes with either v2 diffs or the all metal diffs.

@ yeah they come with full metal diffs. I’ve ordered 4 more regular stock ones off of Jenny’s rc since they’re only $10 a pair. I had a friend tell me if you fill them with a decently thick diff oil they don’t strip as easy. Mine lasted seemingly longer than most people so I figured with my driving style and filling them with diff oil the replacements should last a little while longer than they did unfilled/ungreased

@@ambassador_fleet I wish I still had this car! I ended up trading it in for a 2019 6mt Tacoma. The tune I had from Ron was awesome he really knows what he’s doing with the FA20. Nothing happened to the car, I was at the time just ready for something else. Really wanted to get into off-roading. I was also a bit afraid that something would happen soon to the car. It had 80,000mi on the stock/original clutch and brakes with over 30 passes at the drag strip. In hindsight I wish I had kept the car, put a clutch in it and kept it instead but like they say hindsight is always 20/20

@@drewncars9505 I feel like we all had a car that we wish we kept. That being said, a manual Taco sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!

@ I can agree with that. The taco is awesome offroad, I just miss having a fun car lol. Thanks for watching!

@@Huntersmith-123 the front actually has a spool on my truck specifically. If you look really closely you can see the wheel nut starting fall off. The axle/hex is spinning but the wheel isn’t because it’s not seated on there properly being loose 😂

@@jimbo4203 I’ll check it out! I got the smaller tires for now since I’m stock width and didn’t want to rub. Originally got the truck to bring it with me when I travel but I’m actually starting to like it a lot and want to do more lol. I may end up widening it a bit and then throw the bigger tires on there. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve got a few parts on order right now that I think will help out a lot.

@@Fprice2013 I have yet to buy the Typhon still and plan on getting that brushless version when I do. My Granite is almost exclusively a dog toy now haha. It just runs around in the backyard for the dogs to chase around. My Mojave I’ve left stock so far because after we go crawling we all break out our Mojave’s and have a little dirt track race for fun. I’ll probably do some reliability upgrades first but for now we are all running stock trucks. I think once we all collectively decide to go brushless then I’ll either upgrade mine or grab a new already brushless model. Funny thing is I actually turn mine down to 75% throttle because it’s easier to control on the surface we are running on. I feel like making it brushless and even faster I’d have to start really getting into better tires and shock tuning. Which is completely fine if we weren’t running stock trucks just for fun

@ yah it’ll traction roll on grass but on the infield dirt it drifts like a dream. Have fun!

@ I agree on the dirt the slide around perfectly. The lot we race in has a bunch of small rocks that would be no issue for a larger truck but they occasionally knock the little trucks into another direction lol. Turning the speed down helps control on correcting the steering and ends up being faster in the long run. Our local hobby shop recently had a grom race in their parking lot. I think that would be a great place to have a bit more power where you have full traction and no rocks to unsettle the whole truck

Don’t listen to all these parrots going on about brushless, if you want a brushless mojave there’s plenty on the market. Remember what you do to your car is only for you, when the time comes to sell it on not everyone wants your customised rc car knowing you pulled all the screws out and changed everything. Arrma releasing cars left right and centre I have 15 rc cars 10 of them are Arrma never had the need to change anything on them if I want a certain rc car I buy it what I don’t do is try to convert my rc car into a Bugatti

@@Bswithjay now that there’s a brushless model out with all the upgrades on it I’ll probably eventually just get one of those. Personally I enjoy modifying my RC’s and making them better. I want to enjoy it while I have it not worry about what someone else thinks about it IF I even sell it. I know I don’t mind buying used RC’s that have been modified because half the time they already have stuff I want on there anyway

Thanks!

@@MysticRiverRC thank you!

I want to get one too! They look sick

@@andyrichey1192 I already forget if I mentioned in the video or not but I had the white one in my cart for a while and didn’t buy it. I was going to paint it purple anyway and then when I went to commit to purchasing the body they released one that was exactly the color I wanted so I went with that one. Whenever you put yours together don’t forget to check out my IR60 first look video. I have a few tips on it there as well. It’s not an assembly video but more of a before you build check this out kind of video

@@topqualityfi8216 I sorta agree. There were definitely some lines that stock did better but overall I’m feeling more comfortable with the new setup. I’ll be posting another video soon with the new wheels and tires and it’s the best setup so far on this rig! New wheels have brass rings to get more weight down low and grippier tires now too. Little thing is a beast now lol

@@KPtain_RC thank you!

@@j_dogfuturefirefighter good luck! I moved from Ohio a few years back to Texas and I’m loving it here. Colorado is beautiful but I don’t think I want to deal with the cold anymore 😂

@ yeah it’s cold but I hate it I only like the cold when it snows

@@j_dogfuturefirefighter I probably wouldn’t hate the cold as much if I wasn’t a mechanic. Working on rusty cars and trucks is not fun. After being in Texas I’d have to go through a career change to move back up north lol.

@ is your job a mechanic in Texas

@ yeah, I was one in ohio as well. Definitely a lot better down here though

@@j_dogfuturefirefighter drove up from Texas! I need to get out there again someday

@ nice

@@andyrichey1192 I don’t have a SCX24 but one of my friends has an IR60 for his that I crawled with that day. Wish I got a better look at it but with them sitting side by side they looked very similar in size. I think it’s mostly because of how much smaller the IR60 body is than the defender body mine had stock. If they’re not exactly the same they’re at least a lot closer than they normally are if that makes sense

No problem! I try to make videos I want to watch myself and this is something I wish I saw before I bought the setup. Hopefully it helps others too

@@frostlynreyes I’m thinking about getting one of those next! Enjoy!!

@@nandoscustomdiecast368 thank you!

It’s a great line to test out a rig with!

@@small.and.even.smaller thank you!
