These tutorials have been so helpful! thanks so much for all you do. Keep feeding us the good stuff..
Thank you so very much for your kinds words. Much appreciate it.
I like where this is heading!
Thank you very much!
Yeah I’m back watching again, love these videos you learn a lot, and I appreciate everything you sure. These are great videos and great wisdom, this is the beauty of this hobby love it yeah till next time 👍👍😎
Thank you so very much. I am glad to hear the videos are helpful, and will continue to provide contents.
Siiick Homie!!
Definitely is!
Nice upgrades
Thanks 👍
@@BigSungHobbies 😁👍✌
The best link upgrade and a video how to do it . Thanks !
Thanks and glad to be of help.
Why didn't anyone think of this before? Brass links up front, and AL links in the rear! Technically these are unsprung weight, right?
So close to the ideal weight distro! Thanks for sharing!
Trying to squeeze every grams out of the upgrades. Since it's not going to be a crawler, it doesn't have to be 60/40, but I will be happy if I can get close to it.
Another great video! Hope to see the test video soon!
Should be coming soon.
We need to hook up at Linda vista to go crawling with the 1/24s
Hehe, I was just there today to test my SCX24 Gladiator today ;)
Keep em coming!
Just picked up a Gladiator and apparently need to get some parts. Lol
Will do and congrats on the Gladiator!
Nice idea with the mixed materials. Also own a Gladiator and it’s fun to see the improvements. ATM I only use my own designed and 3D-printed links.
3d printed links works well. I use it on my other builds. For Gladiator, I just wanted to add a bit more weight down low due to the top heaviness.
@@BigSungHobbies Yeah that’s a disadvantage of the printed ones, also metal print is still to expensive atm. I put weight with knuckles and steering and rims on mine today. But weight distribution with the links is interesting. Sadly after all the upgrades my car is leaning to the right now. Hope after my last upgrade, a bigger motor, it will not get worst.
Yeah, custom high clearance links for SCX24 are pretty expensive, but I don't mind supporting small businesses (and friends) who are making pretty good products.
@@BigSungHobbies If I can afford it I’ll do the same.
@@lazyman1011 If I may suggest, since you can 3d print, why not print your own link ends, then get some brass solid rod (or Aluminum if brass is too heavy for your needs)? You could get either at a LHS or maybe more cheaply at a hardware store. Something like a 3/16" round rod. Get that first and design your rod ends to fit. Bending tiny rod like that is easy to do by hand, all be it old school. :D
You don’t have to super glue your servo saver, just tighten the horn screw and boom! Servo saver eliminated.
That's good to know. Thanks for the info.
How did you mount the links on the servo bracket? I ordered new links but the Y-Link is replaced with 2 individual links.
You mount the links to outside of the servo bracket where the Y-Link used to go. You will need an extra screw though.
@@BigSungHobbies thanks alot! Subscribed! Love your content!
@@razo8812 Thank you very much for the Sub. Greatly appreciate it!
Hi...I have just installed the injora high link set which also came with a steering links. It seems to have realy stuffed up my forwad turning circle. Beofore my deadbolt had a great circle and now its not as tight. however if i put in reverse.....it has a very tight turning circle. Any ideas ?
Unfortunately I have not used Injora high link set so I can't really help you there. Very strange to hear that it has tight turns with reverse and yet not so for forward. Hope you can find out the issue.
I love these upgrade videos of yours, really helpful and have gave me a few tips and ideas 🤙🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻.
Did you have to buy a seperate servo mount for the AGF servo or did you just modify the stock one?
I 3d printed out a file from thingiverse for the AFG servo. Here's the link: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4600387
Do you have a link to the servo? Can’t find it in your list.
I ended up using Emax digital servo. You can find it here: alnk.to/g36pLx1
Have to apologise i just played it back and saw about the servo mount 😩🙄. I honestly cant remember watching that bit, must have been day dreaming 😂
Hey all good. For emax servo, I just used the stock servo mount, but for AGFRC servo, you need a servo mount that can accomodate the longer size. I used 3d file from thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4600387
@@BigSungHobbies thats awesome thank you 👍🏻. Just about to watch the running video and see how it performs.
As always love the channel and how in depth you go with the build/upgrade videos. Already looking forward to the next video bud 🤙🏻🤙🏻❤️
It performed really well considering the weight gains and that it's only at 55% front and 45% rear weight distribution. It's definitely moving in the right direction. One thing, my goal is to turn this into scale trail truck that can climb, so it won't be all crazy mods to turn it into a crawler.
If I were to get a micro servo for mine, I'd probably try & get one of those NSDRC micro servos. 🤔
NSDRC micro servos are great choice.
@@BigSungHobbies for sure! 👊🏻🤙🏻
What tools do you use on the 1mm bolts on the scx24 í cant seem to find it in the video notes
The correct size to work on SCX24 is 0.050". Some people use 1.3mm; however, that is slightly too big. The MIP hex driver is considered to be the best hex driver, and that is what I use as well. You can find it here: alnk.to/b7tcbok
@@BigSungHobbies I test both and can’t feel difference. The screws have bad quality and sometimes damaged.
It also depends on hex driver...the cheaper the set, the tolerance is wider, and that helps. I originally bought 1.3mm (which is 0.052") MIP hex driver, but it would not fit the screws unless I forced it. I then bought 0.050" MIP hex driver, and no more issues. In my case, I felt the difference, and definitely recommend picking up 0.050" hex driver.
@@BigSungHobbies To complete it, mine are from Wera. Still can’t feel a difference, only some screws seem to have a unworn or more tight feeling but if I change tools the tightness feels the same.
Glad to hear that it's working out for you. But for those who are looking to pick up a new tool, the correct size for SCX24 are 0.050" hex driver.
