Thanks for the internet link directly to product. I hate shopping and finding out nothing I ordered fits
So glad you enjoy the Athos! Looking like top performer on your course. Thanks for the shout-out! 🤙 #athosarmy
How do I get the Athos...best way
The Meus ISO axles are a nice performance upgrade!
I love that build, I’ll be watching for more catch you on the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
Great video! Thanks, Matt! Btw, those Meus axles ship with 14% OD gears front AND back. The optional gears are standard 2/16's. So, if you want to run UD in rear, You're probably stuck with 34% total OD. I've never seen UD gears less than 20%. I really wish MEUS would give us a couple more gear options for the front (20%, 30%).
Honestly dude you truly make the best micro videos imo. Your courses are hard and really
Show and put the trucks to the test to make you see if you even wanna buy the parts/trucks. Keep killing it dude 🤙🏼🤙🏼👊🏼🔥
Really appreciate it!
quality build. the 1/10 tech on 1/24 scale. amazing!
Hey man, so I have had the same issue with those axels. A little trick that helped me was that I put an o ring first, then the hex pin, and then the wheel hex. Not sure if you already tried that or not but might be worth a shot! 👍🏻
Ii really appreciate your channel. Very informative. Please keep us posted on how those axles hold up.
Really appreciate that. I definitely will update on them!
Yeah, I don't begrudge anyone making a buck off their work. But something like flat links, buying a sheet of carb. fibre or aluminum, or even acrylic sheet is pretty cheap for a sq.foot and you can get a lot of custom links from a sq. foot! Plus you can cut and bend them however you like and don't need link ends. And you could do it with simple hand tools too.
Same goes for chassis rails. That Athos is lovely. But at $110US/$170+ CDN dollars (!!!!!!!!!!!!) I couldn't even sniff them. And again, a sq.' of flat sheet can get you quite a few DIY units.
Thank as always for real reviews Matt!
It's definitely a crazy build, and I am taking notes on building links. Custom builds require custom links ect.
Another great video with thoughts on a few products!
You put those tires in some serious binds and didn't break anything, pretty impressive!
At last!!!! so hyped with the video of this flawless rig.🥳
Hope it don’t disappoint! I really wanted to get outdoors with it more but it’s just a bad time of year around here lol
Yeah super cool Matt, I got a set of the black axles I’m putting in my ripper build . Love that power wagon body looks great
What I have found is a little bit bigger tire than the rupture dude you should see some of the stuff I've cleared insane break over insane I mean vertical straight up and down straight edge drive right over it dance with the 65 mm pins
There’s a good save , Two good saves cool
$80 for scx24 links is insane...
The way I think of it, HardPark links + 3flow9rc steering links basically comes out to $80 also. There's tiers to the quality of links out there! 🤙
The esc being 140 is insane too 🤦🏻♂️
I ain’t mad, I want to know where to get stuff to make my junk run right for me. Links to link stuff and hurdles to make them work would be awesome.
And never fails the rock kitty makes an appearance 😂😂
Steve links for this chassis make it an absolute animal 💯 well worth the money for sure
those vertical drops at the end were unreal
Would to see a video of this truck vs the silver Ford.
I wouldn't be surprised if 3flow9 starts makeing a roller steering link and flow skid for this
Hey curios if the deadbolt front links and drive shaft would be short enough up front? I don’t like to run plastic drive shafts, I break them really fast. I really wanted to use the deadbolt body on this! Make it look like a stock deadbolt and just slay lines! lol thanks for all your builds and info Bro you are one of the best out here for info and honest opinions, we all appreciate you! Keep up the great work!
amazing truck mate 👍
The proline shocks look good in the rear
You can also get polystyrene tube/rod to wrap your links. I also get steel and brass tubes/rods
Yeah I used to wrap mine with brass but kinda like the thin link. It slides well lol
Athos definitely has a hell off a break over angle and front bias transmission mite end up having to have one 🤔
Love the rc steve links but ant been able to make myself pay 80 bucks either for set 🔥😎👍
Yoooo I have a ton of respect for you making your own links bro. Some of These 24 companies are getting out of control with there costs. You can get 1/10 hc Dlux links for those prices. Great video 🤘🏻
Really appreciate it. Yeah I just built a Poizd 1/10 and the links for it cost me $80 which I thought was a bit much but I was willing to pay it for 1/10 links lol
Amen to that!!! That webble-wobble on the hub and axel has given me pause ordering from Amazon. For $120 bucks, I don't want a version that's not good to go.
9:00 Looks like there is no way around using limiting straps, no matter what advanced geometry chassis, right ?
Great looking build. I agree with you on tires/size. The littler the tire the more challenge and fun at this scale, IMO. I’m so bummed I missed the metal X-15s! Got a spare set?? Eh…?😂
Yeah I already had a buddy hit me up on them lol. Kinda hate to let them go
@@2fmrc Bummer, no problem though Matt!
Also I put mine on Portals so that's a big difference by treal
$80 for links?!?!? I want whatever RC Steve is smoking! 😂
Imo even that chassis at $80 is too much
Yeah way too ovepriced, I would be willing to spend $80.00 for a complete scx24 RTR but certainly not just links. RC Steve certainly has serious brain rott & is a gready asshole that should be ashamed of himself in all honesty.
There pin in longer than stock. It takes the wobble out.
Have they done any updates to the meus axles?
Does anyone have recommendations on what body he used or others that might work? Thanks
Check your drag brake setting. I had the same issue with hot motors while using scx24 axles, once I turned the setting to zero the heat was almost gone.
Nice! I’ll have to double check it.
Dang you get to do all the micros. I’ve been wanting a athos for since before Christmas
I preordered it soon as they went live lol
mine aint like that but the the trx4m axels. an i have the meus portals that go onto the stock trx4m axels an they dont have that wabble either i love mine.
I'd really like to see a 4ws with these axles 😁
It would run itself over 😆
Nice video😊
0 play with mine. UD the rear with optional included gear. Game changers in the comp scene.
Yeah it’s already got the ud in it. Needs a bit more imo
What driveshafts are you running brother?
What size are the rear links and driveshaft?
Hey Matt, you running the nylon X15 or Axles as I heard u mention you prefer nylon axles for the sliding benefits? Cheers!
No I haven’t picked any of those up. I do normally prefer the plastic but I have a couple sets of iso axles hanging around for any future builds and really hate to buy any more lol
now all that's left is the akers, jec, exo, Gelato and the divino
Yeah and im sick of building chassis’s 😆
oops, forgot he echo v2
Love your videos! Did you go with the regular athos chassis or the xl gladiator one?
Really appreciate that! I did the xl version. Love it so far
Can you send me the link to the dive shafts you’re using or are they custom cut? One ? Thanks
The front is a cut plastic one. Only thing I could cut short enough and it still work lol. Most of the metal ones if you cut that short they have no splines left. The rear is just a cheap amazon shaft I think. It was also just in the bin lol
what is the wheelbase of your rig?
That was me for sure that pissed me off man I thought for sure it was a overdrive transmission that's why I bought it I still ain't used it
my guy said 1.9s on this course. hahaha
What size are your links
That's what I did I under drove the rear end by mofo obviously
You changed so many of the parts, that I do not think what you have now can qualify as an FCX 24 anymore...
Hey Mat
In your opinion what is the best performing chassis in the 24 scale? All out best
Probably this but I haven’t had enough time with it. Definitely this if going with rails and a body. Slayer if you want a cage type build.
Com’on Mat
A simple unbiased opinion.
@@2fmrc cool, I appreciate it. I like you have some x15 axles. Very nice, and with some simple grinding can get quite a bit more angle out of them. Those you got there look pretty sick as well, but not a huge fan of build quality like you mentioned. Keep an eye on them. Nice build bro.
@@2fmrc where you finding the ruptures?
@@bdog7262 I bought two sets when I ordered mine originally because I felt like they would be good lol. They dominate in 1/10 so I figured they’d be hard to come by for a bit. I’d like to have another set but they are always back ordered.
How tall is the tire?
63mm od
If the X15s had that same steering angle would they be back on top?
If so, do you think you could mod them to get more steering angle?
You can totally modify them. I got them and got a lot more angle out of them.
@@bdog7262 what did you do exactly?
@@seniorxj2931 basically the same for any axle. Even the ones u have, assuming you have a rig. Disconnect your servo, and turn it to either side and see where it hits. Start removing material to gain more angle, but you can only go as far as your axle allows you. Hope that helps
@@bdog7262 ah yes, I did that when I had stock axles. I now have MoFos brass housings which didn't need any modding. Shafts are also MoFo high steering so I get a good 45° turning radius with end points set.
@@seniorxj2931 cool, can you get any more out of them?
How does the cr18p evo pro compare to a truck like this. I do understand the size might me different
It’s a very good rtr but there’s really no comparison when it comes to this truck. The Evo can be made better and be closer to the performance of this one but the chassis and axles on this is just much better imo
@2fmrc awesome, well my next question is , as a person who is getting into the mini rc world, would you go with a cr18p evo pro and build it or build a scx24 with meus axles?
@@brandonupchurch5015 can’t go wrong with either really. Depends what you wanna spend I guess. I’d definitely pick the custom build here over even the decked out Evo pro. But the Evo pro is very solid with a little work. I just think the iso axles blow the turning radius on any other axle out of the water. I’ll almost always choose a custom build over any version of an rtr just because I can make it completely what I want.
@2fmrc thank you so much, I'm in the middle of trading a fully loaded scx24 for my gen 8 axe. Then I'll build my next one so I'll be able to determine what I like
Just run the bam 4100 12 tooth fire
Where do you get the rod end links from for 6bucks? I'd like to try and build my own links as well. Great content as usual Matt
Apparently they are $9 now but here’s some I’ve used before and they worked well.
amzn.to/49pT5Y9
Very much appreciated. Thank you. I looked them up and they included links as well. Would you recommend I purchase them too. I have no experience with this at all lol
@@jeremiahspotion484 I prefer to make my own links just cause I can bend them however extreme I want but it’s kinda up to you. If a normal high clearance link gives you enough clearance you could definitely go that route
Those AXLES R Not Portals?
No. Straight axles. I kinda prefer straight axles most of the time.
Hi, im having problems with the rear Axle on my Fms K5 Blazer not working, fms said 2 locktight the screw on the gear in the pumpkin wich i did lasted like 5 min till the same thing happened, asked 4 a new Axle but they said glue it again😕
Wtf just send a New 1, and the front only works on thr left side .....possible bad AXLES or what .... NOT HAPPY. WITH THERE RESPONSE 😟👊✌️🦅🦼👍🇺🇸😕
I’d say it’s probably the back side of the pinion gear in the axle. The part where it screws onto the shaft that attaches to the driveshaft. That plastic gear likes to strip out on the back side where it has a sort of D shape
That's Exactly what is Happening 😟 should I Try Red Locktight, but i tightened the Shit out of it ,probably Junk Now😕 what AXLE woul u recommend? btw gonna B A Mudd Truck i Think 💯👊✌️🦅🦼👍🇺🇸
