beautiful, this project turned out really good. video quality, explanations and action shots were spot on too. keep up the good work, this is by far my favorite crawling channel
I just realized what I like so much about these videos... it's the deep, genuine enthusiasm about the hobby and everything. really makes the videos worth watching. :) Also: The rig looks beautiful both in fitment, aestetics and performance.
I just bought one of these chassis and I'm very new to this hobby. I'm probably in way over my head, but watching these two videos of your build really inspires me to learn as I go. I can't wait to get mine done!
I'm glad they are helpful! These kits are intimidating at first but it's just like a puzzle. One piece at a time and suddenly it all clicks together! Have fun!
Aside from messing with throttle curve, I usually assign "button 1" on my avatar to be the throttle reduction option, makes it nice when you get in those technical spots then you can flip it right back off if you need more power. Edit-typed this before watching your closing comments, you nailed it.
Your channel has 100% made me want to go build an SCX24. I had no idea the aftermarket was so robust for the little things. The panels were sick until the skull logo went on. Really would have looked better all on the roof; splitting it up screwed with the proportions too much. But what a sweet little rig!
You mean just putting the skull logo on the top? I thought about just doing the hood because of the shape. But I can always redo it. Thanks for watching!
Got the same motor on my SCX24 Bronco and holy shit. that thing has sooooo much torque it will climb just about anything w/ the right setup. The power of that little motor is crazy good.
Great job. I did my Ultra 24 build with the Little Rocket motor in the Furitek ESC. It has similar power when. Digging into the throttle but gentle when it needs to be. Have fun and keep us updated on the adventures of takes 🤙
LGRP has some nice stuff. Your build was outstanding to say the least. Might have to copy it different paint though. Love all you videos, production quality top notch. Peace my fellow toy car wrenched. I’m exactly the same way you described your self except I’m 68 , and more often than not using loops to see.
Very nice. I've been on the fence about that rig, because of all the reasons you pointed out. So now I may pull the trigger. I have some ideas & a couple rigs are also going to be cannibalize. 🥺 great vid as always. ✌
Awesome build Adam, it really is and stunning to look at 😍😍. Ordered myself the Ripper Chassis Kit from Little Guy Racing and really looking forward to getting it all airbrushed up and built. 🤙🏻🤙🏻👍🏻
@@CapeCrawlers forgot to wish you a Happy New Year Bud and hope 2023 treats you well. I cant wait to see whats in store for 2023, especially since you have been banging out some utterly awesome builds and video’s. God i love this hobby and how far it has come in such a short time. 2022 saw some awesome rigs come out so God only knows whats instore for us. All the best to you and your family Adam ❤️🤜🏻🤛🏻🤙🏻💪🏻
Epic build brother!! I think it's more satisfying to build from ground up. You should be proud of that rig Adam , it's an awesome piece of art. Should build and sell ha! ha! To all fellow RCers HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Maybe it would be possible to mount the body panels inside the frame. That way you'd be able to see the cage and still have the panels to hide the electrics.
I just ordered my kit! I'm thinking about going all out and getting brass portals. What does that chassis look like in the rear? Would it fit a steering servo back there if you run it low without springs?
It would likely take some modifications to the chassis. There are braces in the rear where the ultra chassis attaches to the rear of the frame rails. If running with no springs I don't know if the servo would fit in there.
Damn dude. I think I've watched a good chunk of your vids. Keep up the good work - it's all so helpful & informative. I already bought some aftermarket parts for my scx24 based on your builds. BTW, ever plan to do 1/10 scale content?
Thanks for watching! I just picked up my very first 1/10 a couple weeks ago. I've got lots of stuff coming for that this spring when it's warm enough to get outside. It's going to be fun!
Very nice build! About how much did this entire build cost? Also, I would love to see a capability comparison between this and some stock 24th and 18th scale rigs.
I’d really like to build a small RC in the 1/24-1/18 scale. After watching dozens of videos I think the Capra UTB18 is the most intriguing. I was fired up on the 1/24’s but in weighing the cost of the upgrades I just don’t feel I’m getting enough capability for the money. What would you build if you could only pick 1? The ECX Temper 2, SCX24, trx4m, or the Capra utb18?
Tough choice! Do you have access to good crawling spots? That's the determining factor for me and why I mostly stick to smaller scales. However, I am in LOVE with the UTB18 and the more I build it, the more I love it. So my answer is: if you have access to plentiful crawling spots, the UTB18. If you are short on space (like me) the SCX24.
Really like this LGRP but at $150 and still missing shocks, wheels, tires, electronics and motor it’s on the 1/10th scale level investment wise. Just doesn’t make sense.
Thanks! it would be tough to do 4WS on this I feel just because of how the rear end sits over the rear axle. It may take some trimming to fit the servo in there
Great videos, sir . I have been watching you for a month now . And all of your videos are very well done . The content is spot on . Your descriptions and building techniques are amazing. It is one of the best channels and I watch a lot of different channels. I've been building crawlers for 3 years for all my grandkids and myself. I have 8 of them now . All of them tricked out to the max. I'm about to build another one soon . Have you seen the new losi promoto mx rc motorcycle? If not you should check it out . I pre-ordered it a week ago . Going to be a big selling product. With lots of cool aluminum and titanium mods . It would be nice to see you do a review on it . We also like flying rc planes. Anyway you have a great channel , just wanted to say hi 👋 😊
Awesome build and video! I am curious what your thoughts are from a performance standpoint of the Furitek setup vs a LGRP or Injora 50t/66t brushed. I mean is it mostly bragging rights and cool factor, because it is sweet looking, or is the performance really worth the huge price difference. I have been contemplating the upgrade but at the same time I have never really felt the need for anymore power or slower crawl ability than what I get from those brushed motors. This might be a good video topic to cover sometime =)
You should check out my brushless conversion series where I did my first brushless motor in the gladiator. My reaction says it all! But to answer your question, the power and control you get from a brushless motor is beyond comparison. Brushed motors simply are not even in the same arena. You truly have to experience it to fully comprehend how impressive the little brushless motors are. I should do a comparison video though because I've actually been getting this question pretty frequently lately.
@@CapeCrawlers Cool I will check it out! I always ran brushless in my race buggy's because as you said there is no comparison in the control but at the slow speeds and small scale of these things it just didn't seem like that big of a deal.
I'll try to recap it here for you: Ultra 24 cage kit comes with links, cage, servo tray. To complete, you will need: Complete set of electronics Complete front and rear axles Driveshafts Motor/transmission Skid plate Frame rails Rear linkage mount Shocks Servo
I love it! I love the micro rx, the functionality of the transmitter itself, and the small size. I recently got a Flysky GT5 and that is also amazing. It can store up to 20 rigs (double the avatar) and has more functionality at almost half the cost.
@@CapeCrawlers exactly I think 🤔.. being a musician I find with me its more of an artistic thing when it comes to custom builds.. you either have it or you don't you my friend have a gift ✌️
Tough call! I need to put them head to head. I think the warthog gets the edge because it's so low. But that also can hurt it on larger obstacles and breakover's. The Ultra has the advantage with more clearance and better steering angles with the CVD's and Super 8's.
Nice looking setup. Too bad they didn't design it such that the cage "body" hinged, or was otherwise easily removeable. I learned from my Axial Bomber that I really dislike cage chassis builds. Just too much hassle to work on. And since this kit uses standard SCX24 frame rails, I don't see the point in having the cage be integral with the chassis. I much prefer my Enduro Gatekeeper over the Bomber for this reason. Same caged look, but one is a PITA to work on, and the cage/body comes right up out of the way on the other. Other than looks, and good tire/wheel clearance, I'm not seeing what this kit brings to the table for $100. At least not with the restrictions it brings being a cage chassis. Maybe I'm missing something....
You make good points. It's not something I ever want to take apart again to work on, that's for sure. The chassis does perform really well aside from just looking cool. The 3D printing is excellent and very strong. It's a premium price tag for the kit but I think the quality justifies it.
I have a bluetooth dongle that I keep in my toolbox for when I need it. I keep one or two on hand and then buy the Lizard pro without the module. It saves money and is typically more readily available.
Please do another C10 build. Try it sleeper style (looks stock but is a beast) I’m doing this right now, (Check my channel!) and would love to see how you do it!

This looks like an absolute unit of a rig as always amazing video bro
Your content inspired me to build a scx24 from scratch :) coming from 1/12th scale crawling
Awesome! Have fun!
Yeah it’s a climber, I like it love the logo how that worked out looks great, Outstanding build
Thank you! I am super happy with it.
Wow man, just wow. This build is inspiring 😮
Thank you! I am in love with it!

Very nice build! About how much did this entire build cost? Also, I would love to see a capability comparison between this and some stock 24th and 18th scale rigs.
I’d have to tally it all up, but probably around $450
Realy cool rig man💥😎💪.
Thank you!
I’d really like to build a small RC in the 1/24-1/18 scale. After watching dozens of videos I think the Capra UTB18 is the most intriguing.

Awesome truck Adam!! Is this chassis compatible with the ax24 and Rear steer, I was thinking of using an ax24 with this??
Thanks! it would be tough to do 4WS on this I feel just because of how the rear end sits over the rear axle. It may take some trimming to fit the servo in there
Now I am jealous, it is all your fault if I get one...
Happy New Year! 🥳

I'm always wondering where to get screws for these 24s...🤔 Where do you get your's from? 🧐
I mostly hoard spare parts from new upgrades. I reuse what I can and hide the rest! But Mofo RC and LGRP both sell hardware kits.
@@CapeCrawlers that makes sense. I'll have to look there, for sure! 😎🤙🏻

@@CapeCrawlers it’s honestly my favourite I kinda wanna copy it 😂 looks so bad asss and apocalyptic perfect for the punisher !
Adam she is beautiful. And it drives so smooth. PUNISHER IS AWESOME 💪😎👊💀
Thank you! It is a weapon for sure!!
This project was eye opener for me, but I don't wanna buy stock SCX24 - Please, does anyone have a list of everything used?
I'll try to recap it here for you:
Ultra 24 cage kit comes with links, cage, servo tray. To complete, you will need:
Complete set of electronics
Complete front and rear axles
Driveshafts
Motor/transmission
Skid plate
Frame rails
Rear linkage mount
Shocks
Servo
looks great man. Seems like it does as good or better than the Gladiator.
Thanks! You’re right, it’s right up there with my best performing rigs
Hey Adam, How are you liking the avatar Transmitter? Is there any others you would recommend to run multiple cars?
I love it! I love the micro rx, the functionality of the transmitter itself, and the small size. I recently got a Flysky GT5 and that is also amazing. It can store up to 20 rigs (double the avatar) and has more functionality at almost half the cost.

Thank you!
so cool
Dang I thought this came with frame rails for some reason I feel its overpriced with out that one part I guess I just had that expectation in mind
Adam, why not turn the Godzilla around to en rear facing?
It was still too big. I would have had to cut a big chunk out of the rear of the cage. That thing is huge! I've got other plans for it also.
Like it a lot nice rig
Thanks 👍
Would this fit on a stock DeadBolt?
Perfection
My most complete and balanced build to date I think.
@@CapeCrawlers exactly I think 🤔.. being a musician I find with me its more of an artistic thing when it comes to custom builds.. you either have it or you don't you my friend have a gift ✌️
Awesome build man.
No HDR?
Thanks! No HDR. I feel like it makes the videos nearly blinding in brightness. I like the flat profile and 4K HD at 24fps.
@@CapeCrawlers I watch on a 22 ultra so I noticed the difference instantly. Loved the hdr. Lol 😆
By the way a reefs 99 servo does fit I have one in mine
Good to know! I just got the LGRP tremor servo to put in here
Adam, how do you think this adds up to the Warthog now that you one?
Tough call! I need to put them head to head. I think the warthog gets the edge because it's so low. But that also can hurt it on larger obstacles and breakover's. The Ultra has the advantage with more clearance and better steering angles with the CVD's and Super 8's.
I’m gonna build me one🤙🏾
I hope you enjoy it!
And does the motor not fit forward I’m thinking about going brushless
I could not get it to fit forward without cutting the cage/chassis
This and the Muse look very similar.
There's a couple of them out there that look a lot alike
Nice looking setup. Too bad they didn't design it such that the cage "body" hinged, or was otherwise easily removeable. I learned from my Axial Bomber that I really dislike cage chassis builds.

OK. It’s official. I know what I’m building in 2023.
Haha! Make it so!
Can you use anything other than a stock style frame?
I don't think so because the cage is built so snugly around the stock frame rails. It really is amazing how tight everything fit together.
Did you add the Bluetooth module to it?
I have a bluetooth dongle that I keep in my toolbox for when I need it. I keep one or two on hand and then buy the Lizard pro without the module. It saves money and is typically more readily available.
Try and make the panels fit on the inside of the frame.
Aye that’s a good idea!
My axial scx24 won’t accelerate any more 😢 can you please tell me how to fix it I don’t have any tools or spare parts for it 😢
Do you still have steering? If so, it's probably a bad ESC.
@@CapeCrawlers it only goes backwards and it steers but it doesn’t go forwards 😭
@@CapeCrawlers yes it steers and it goes backwards but it doesn’t accelerate
@@CapeCrawlers hey cape me and my dad are going to bring the rc truck to the rc shop and we’re gonna put some upgrades on it to 😃
What was the total cost?
I think all in was around $450.
Bro, that thing is sooooo nasty! I see a dark future for my Deadbolt…. Take body panels off? #capralife
Thanks!! I may mess with the panels and placement but overall I’m really happy with it

That's a great idea. I would love to do a gray c10 build!
Id LOVE to be able to build something like that myself. Just that i dont habe enough money :(
They are expensive, no doubt. But the base kit is $99 and you could slowly add on from there.
@@CapeCrawlers Yeah i kniw, but ill still keep upgrading my gladiator. Btw when is the Mini komodo Review cominfg? Tmr?
