I've recently been looking to get back into my minis,and was I blown away by the advancements the rc industry has made in the last 10 years. This video is just what I needed to make my choice. Thank you so much for the valuable information you provide and the enthusiasm with which you provided it. Good day to you sir.
I wasn't really interested in an SCX 24 until I came across the Furitek setup. I built a comp-style crawler around it using their Scythe chassis and couldn't be happier. It does end up being a pricey rig (which you touched on) as you really do need a low CG chassis to offset the weight of the motor but once you have it dialed in, this thing performs like nothing else at this scale. I totally get the "might as well put the money into a 1/10 rig" argument but having something so capable that you really can drive anywhere indoors and tweak like a larger rig is just plain fun
I just bout one for myself, ended up buying 3 more for my nephews, I have a rustler vxl, wanted something small I could build a track for, can’t wait for Christmas going to have a competition with my nephews. I also just got the motor waiting for it to arrive.
I thought the scx24 was an RC that can only be played indoors, but I'll have to go outside by replacing the motor and tires. And I want to rock crawling. This is such a good video. thank you.👍👍👍
I have that exact set up it’s a lot of technology for a 1:24th scale RC & has more technology then any of my 1:10 scale RC’s. The torque it puts out is real & the Bluetooth & app you can mess with for hrs. Super cool if you are 100% into custom crawlers. My SCX is completely tricked out & it’s actually my only Axial. I put mine on the shelf once I got my 1:10 scale crawlers but recently I’ve been taking it out again & it’s super fun & I think it actually improves your driving skills. I just need those tires!
The Furitek Komodo motor gives a terrible COG due to weight and height though. MOFO RC nano beast is virtually the same size and weight as a stock motor and just as much control and power as the Komodo 💪
@@crashtestdummy27 First, it is NOT a "whole different category". In 1/10 scale, there are "trail" and "comp" crawlers (ie. different 'categories')...but, in 1/24 scale, there aren't different 'categories', as there is NO "competition" (same goes for 1/6, ie. the SCX6). Second, you are also ignoring the fact that the Scythe IS mentioned in the video (not by name, but the fact remains that "Furitek has an LCG chassis for the SCX24" IS mentioned ion the video). Seems to me, you're just "complaining" so that you can have 'something' to compain about.
Its like putting a v8 in a jeep wrangler to replace the lame v6. Sure its fun and powerful, but does it actually go offroad any better? Thats alot of weight to smack right at the tippy top of the frame. I find poor weight distribution to be far more frustrating to handle then the brushed motors lack of power.
TEKO vs LIZARD PRO... besides the size of the 2 ESC's... do you see any other reason for chosing Lizard Pro instead of Teko ?. The Teko have LED support as an extra feature.. but other than that they are pretty similar.
Love them wheels buddy where can I get a set of them please also does the furitek work on android aswel or iPhone only? Looks awesome you done it justice my man 👍
U say the lizard is better but the tegu will run 3s giving more weight and more power but does take up more space so it's a bit of give and take if u like 2s and don't have much space I can c y u would like the lizard I personally use the tegu but I've got the inner fender set so I have my reciever mounted on the left Inner fender and my tegu on the right inner fender I haven't tried the lizard simply because I wanted to run 3s also did u know the tegu case is designed to line up with the chassis holes so it can be mounted right to the chassis
I’m never happy with my scx24, Well that’s harsh but mines a c10, have Brass, Hyrax, lowered, but it just likes to tip.....I always feel like that big esc combo is the problem and hard to relocate. I mean to me you better get the lcg chassis with this....you won’t even get to enjoy that much control cause you’ll tip every time!! Sorry to rant say these motors saw your review and knew you’d shoot me straight.....
I’d love to hear more about motor upgrades for micro scale. I have a couple Panda Tetras, a EZY Triton, and a HobbyPlus Convoy… they don’t have much in terms of aftermarket which leaves me guessing on things like motor sizes and possibilities.
I will add the Panda’s have GREAT motors… it’s the others I’d like more speed and torque. I just don’t understand screw hole or size standards (030? 050?)
at this point, it'd make sense to just build from scratch and just pick what you want, chassis, body, etc, no? It'd be cheaper in the end, or by the time I have finished upgrading everything I have 2 functional cars, where the original one actually reverted to its initial form lol
Great video! Thanks for showing in your perspective. Furitek is welcomed brand for the micro rc area. Personally, the motor is heavy and hinders the performance of CG. Also, 3mm motor shaft sounds like 1/10 to me which is unnecessary for micro scale.
I know this is in a 1/24... but you guys think it would work in a 1/18 panda truck?? I understand it might not bolt up but I could machine an adapter for it possibly
Furitek is developing a 1/10 system right now. I keep seeing teasers, but any of the testers and Tony are staying very tight lipped at the moment. Lol I'm excited to learn more, because based on my experience with this 1/24 system, it'll be an awesome option.
I took my scx 24s to the beach..... need I say more? They and all the brass fittings I upgraded are destroyed. A big wave came over them and it's they are beyond repair. Lesson learned.
Too expensive, don’t buy it, deal with the other options out there. I did not pay that much for mine, plastic motor mount and motor. My 2 cents, worth it to me. I run both lizard and tegu in 2 separate scx24’s no problems mounting. Eat it, Furitek for the win.LoL
When it comes to these "mini" trucks, for me it's all about expense. If I wanted to spend 130 bucks in upgrades on an RC it would not be a mini. Just me, but I purchase "mini" rc's to save a few bucks and still get an "rc" fix.
In every category, there is always a high-end niche for the motivated as long as the platform is capable. Good that the platforms are good enough to geek out on. Good for budget too and indoors and beginners.
Little & cheap don't always go "hand-n-hand". look at Mini-Z racing, and how much some can spend making their cars top-level performers. Look at the popularity of Spec Slash racing (not to be confused with Stock Spec Slash...and, yes, I know the Slash isn't 'little', but I'm using it as a "cost comparison")...one of the "cheapest" classes of off-road RC racing...and what people spend to make them handle better. And, to think, this video is only about ESC & motor upgrades - you should look at all the upgrades Treal has for the SCX24 (steel gears, machined axle housings, brass steering knuckles, etc). By the time a person finishes building-up an SCX24 to be comp-level competitive, it's easy to spend $400-500...and that's before adding an LCG chassis, such as gthe Furitek Scythe.
Please stop advertising this absolutely poor motor!! It is a 1400 kv una short dimension which has NO torque!!!!. I tested on slightly Buggerru vehicle and above 700g it doesnt have traction. The real magic of all the video on the combo esc + motor... is the PINION!!!!!!!!! It moves so slowly because in order to compensate the very low torque.. they added an incredibile small pinion which multiples the torque!!!.. so no magic i the motor.. which cost too much and it generates torque only thanks to the gear ratio granted by the pinion. So basically you pay for a job done by a 2 dollar hardware. Please stop please stop selling the idea that it is super!!!
Will have to disagree with your oPinions there buddy. Your so far off base that I can’t even start to counter. Only the accusations of my character are offensive. This has great power and modulation but is heavy and not perfect
Frances you have it backwards, you might want to make sure you have the Teague if your running 3s or you might burn it up. The difference between FURITEK TEGU Main Board for Axial SCX24 and FURITEK LIZARD esc is that the TEGU has higher BEC value and is capable of running 3s. The Lizard 🦎 comes with lower BEC value than the TEGU and runs on 2s 👍🏼

Right on, thanks for the share. Cool option for high-end 1/24th.
Great video as always!! Thank you!!!
what was the "big can" motor you showed im the plastic bag?
The Furitek Komodo motor gives a terrible COG due to weight and height though. MOFO RC nano beast is virtually the same size and weight as a stock motor and just as much control and power as the Komodo 💪
It has plenty of power. But not nearly as much the komodo and Surpass.
@@schpreck I guess it is subjective but the much lower COG is the biggest win for me
You seem to be ignoring...possibly on purpose...the fact that Furitek DOES offer the Scythe LCG chassis for the SCX24.
@@robbryan3044 The scythe is in a whole different category of crawler. My comment was related to this video and standard scx24 chassis 👍

I always get so stoked when you review !
I'm gonna up my energy level now. Not easy but I'll try.
Would you submerge the Komodo dragon though?
Great vids and channel!!
I love mine. Works perfect. I have all the weight you can get. It’s a goat.
Is the micro Komodo and lizard pro waterproof or would I need to waterproof the esc? Just ordered the stinger combo
Thinking that this motor system be good for my 6×6 Atlas 1/18 truck!!
Plus the most important is
IT LOOKS SO FREAKING COOOOOOOOL
Rrrrrrrrright? Looks alien
What radio and receiver are you using?

Do you think this would work with the 118 scale Glacier

Awesome review dude! Very informative but I think I'm gonna do the ESC and motor upgrade.
Could you review the rc4wd interco tsl sx 1/24th scale tire?
Possibility!
Love them wheels buddy where can I get a set of them please also does the furitek work on android aswel or iPhone only? Looks awesome you done it justice my man 👍
wheels are SSD available here: snp.link/c307de57
both on ios and android

What is the top speed like compared to the stock setup. Thanks
With the stock pinion on 2s battery, about the same. With a 3s battery, 50% faster. Can definitely put a much bigger pinion.
@@RCReviewChannel whats a good pinion in your opinion? I wanna make it a bit faster
I love this mini scx24 They are the best
Very flexible chassis and now we have a high end route.

In the past, Panda had awful modulation. Perhaps an opportunity for upgraded ESC's.
@@RCReviewChannel yes! I really like the Spektrum Firma 40 - maybe overkill but they are so quiet
Gamy Rc on shapeways has an adapter to put scx24 transmission in the panda. Then you can use any scx24 motor option 👍
@@BullgearRCvideos thanks!

Very good points! Yes, the Komodo is a big motor maybe more ideal for 1/18 and 1/16 scale. That Lizard ESC and the programming options are dialed!!!
I know this is in a 1/24... but you guys think it would work in a 1/18 panda truck??
I understand it might not bolt up but I could machine an adapter for it possibly
Absolutely. this is better for 1/18 actually.
Top
Gun or Ramen?
Thanks saved me some money. Cant afford to upgrade everything 💴 😂
Yeah, just get the Lizard ESC if curious about the tech
hi sir how can i connect lizrd pro to hrz00015?
i build two of these tough as nails
Super informative video.. thanks 👍
When we learn a lot, we get to teach a log.
This package would make the Lil element great
Yeah, that thing needs power. I think it's only 1S (4.2v) power.
Love this video, nice work.
Trying hard. Spread the word!
Is there a android app?
🤘🍻🤘
NICE
Motor is 24.99 esc depends on which one you get. But esc's are usually expensive for a good one anyway. Don't be that guy with click bate titles.
Imagine that furitek esc with a revolver in a 1/10 to make it quiet 🤫🤔🤔
That would work!!! Holmes also just released the Crawlmaster Mini which looks just like this and is crazy quiet.
@@RCReviewChannel yeah i seen but there always out of stock lol
Furitek is developing a 1/10 system right now. I keep seeing teasers, but any of the testers and Tony are staying very tight lipped at the moment. Lol I'm excited to learn more, because based on my experience with this 1/24 system, it'll be an awesome option.
Its really not that expensive... 15 years ago when losi made the 36th scale micro t, there brushless and esc combo was 100.00 .
Just get the brushed ESC for a stock feel as the ESC is amazing best advice and its 49 bucks
I took my scx 24s to the beach..... need I say more? They and all the brass fittings I upgraded are destroyed. A big wave came over them and it's they are beyond repair. Lesson learned.
oof!

Good to have this option around.
