Just ordered one of these with metal 2 speed gearbox and transfer case. Can't wait.
I really enjoyed watching your assembly video, although you must be an expert because I don't see any manuals anywhere. Greetings from Italy and thank you very much.
Very nice build my friend
Wow that`s really cool! Love it!!
Wow! Nice one! Keep it up!!!
Thanks bud loved this build.
I am just now watching the video...a few people has already mentioned the sliders but I wanted to mention the servo mount and suspension links...if you run the servo on the chassis you should have the option to install a panhard link and one only have a 3 link suspension setup. Running a 4 link you would want the servo on the axle
Hi mate thanks for your comment. With how low I am running the chassis I cannot seem to fit a pan hard bar. I have a problem with ride height. Suspension travel is very minimal as I lowered it but its still sitting high and can not do much about it... have to think on it more.
Awesome build,cool kit
Thanks my friend👍
Should have got this .next purchase. Be great if they would do a 1/8 scale like this
It would be great if they did so. Excelent rig for the price. Thanks👍
Very nice
Exelent work, great video bro!)
Thanks mate👍😀
Thank you for this video, this chassis seems great, can you tell me how to adjust the wheelbase from 306 mm to 313 mm? should we change the size off the rear links ?
Hi there. Thanks for your comment. To adjust the wheel base, you can unscrew one side of each link and if you rotate the ball joint heads on the ends of each link, they should tread out, extending the wheel base. Then screw everything back together
Would be epic paired up with a hobbywing fusion!
Its just something I had laying around. Its good, just struggles a bit at low rpms, otherwise its a burnout machine, always puts a smile on my face. I will save money to buy the fusion someday though. Thanks for the comment bud.
@@combarccrawlers3948 awesome
Hi noted something strange with the rock sliders I think they are mounted upside down . In that way the edge down is prone to lock to rocks . Just a small detail and these kits have no instructions either .
Considering the price Plus shipping and waiting at the moment is under 200 but after May 2021 all items will get 18 % VAT and handling charges this will bring it close to an original Axial SCX10 Raw builders kit which sells around 250 locally .
What about quality such as metals used , steel gears or pig metal gears? and finish , play etc is it worth it over an original ?
Chinese knock offs sometimes are gems I understand. But it not always the case. The price is to close to a well known original . Thus I’m bit cautious to what I will chose if I want to build a new rig.
Hi Stan, well about the rock sliders you are right but as said I assembled it all in a "temporary" configuration. I have to adapt its wheelbase and other things to the body I will be getting. A lot of people notified me about the rock sliders but my simple reason I put them that way is because it is advertised like that and the body they advertised, hangs over them. I will be flipping them in the right way now. Price, well I got lucky. Still had to pay customs taxes when it arrived, but depends on viewer's country. When talking about quality and ware, really its not bad at all especially for the price. I immagine it is steel gear because there were no signs of ware after a good run and a bit of abuse. What I had to really take care of is lubrication, mainly greasing everywhere because it does not come greased. I will be doing a video with some details. It needs a panhard bar. There are mounts for it. Otherwise I loved it.
Awesome video, build and installation 😍👏
Thanks👍
Good job!!
The side sliders are on upside-down btw
Had to remove them anyway...
Thank for this great video, like and subbed you. Stay connected friend
Thanks 4 your comment bro. I should really get back to making vids. Life got in the way of things and the biggest problem is financial... cant keep spending all my savings in the hobby had to take a break. I could not keep up due to life changes... Amazingly since I have been offline, my channel has grown quite a lot thanks to new members like yourself. Thank you for appreciating my work friend.😀❤️
Any chance you remember if front axle had to be very low by default not to collide with gearbox/motor?
Had to raise it so it doesnt hit the motor and gearbox
Nice sharing,new sub from me ,
Thanks for your positive feedback mate much appreciated. Thank you❤️👍
can u list the parts, i wanna build one, but i dont know what to order, help me out please
Links to the product are in the description. Thanks👍
very nice kit, the planetary gearbox stop the car itself without and brake? did the gearbox let the car move freely if we push it?
tq
Thanks for your comment👍 this gearbox does not have a brake, the motor acts as a brake. Its free if the motor is not on drag brake mode. Its like a regular 3 gear transmission but more realistic.
@@combarccrawlers3948 thank you
wow nice video :-)
Hey how's your front axle are they solid they ever break??
Survived all the abbuse I put them through till now. The small drive shaft betwwen the trans and transfercase only broke but I had a regular yoke style drive shaft, shortened it and put it in, again survived ever since. This being brushless sometimes I push it hard a bit.
Good video bro. Btw i've same kit couple days ago but the problem is front axle (portal) colliding with motor and stuck if full shock travel. Please any trick or tips for me so i can set low in my rig. Tx
Im havin the same prob mate... cant figure it out really... i imagine you would need to get a body which could go lower on the chassis, and raise the ride height to get clearance.
Ok tx mate for the answer. Appreciate it
Thks for sharing bro! Any link?
There is in the description mate ;)👍
Are the axels and Gearbox good lubrificated ,out of the box ?
No you have to disassamble and grease the transfercase, differentials and the main gearbox I put gasket maker between the motor housing and plate and filled the gearbox with engine oil.
4-link front and chassis mounted servo, will that not result in bump steering?
I have no other way to go. I have got no space and no need for a lot of suspension travel because of the body I got. Thanks👍
May be room for a panhard rod?! Anyhow, good looking kit
Yeah that's just wrong man. You will learn, we all have to!! In time!! If you want a CMS you will have to remove an upper link and add a panhard rod. The kitchen d includes everything I can see it.
It will not bump steer, it will indeed BIND WHEN THE SHOCK TRAVEL CYCLES. bump steer is from panhard and drag link either not on matched plain, different length from one another or both. With a panhard setup it's scale and that's all. You axle will cycle side to side as compression and rebound occur. The anti squat, link locations and all are very bad on this chassis but to each the own!! Whatever your happy with and believe is working great!! What I once though to be the best I look back and cringe on things I did lol
Turn the rock sliders round there upside-down
Had to remove them mate. Body wouldnt fit.
@@combarccrawlers3948 I know what you mean I'm having problems with my power wagon body fitting my element thanks for the reply take care
@@stephenr6427 thanks mate. At this point I put the chassis kit together in a "temporary" manner, meaning I would adjust to the new body I would be getting for it. At this point I had no idea I was getting a power wagon body, it turned out lovely, but I had to remove the sliders, mount the electronics on the transfer case and lower the battery to get the body to fit. I love the body but it is narrow so that kind of screwed me up but never mind, all problems have solutions we just have to think even deeper. Thanks for commenting mate👍
The rock sliders are upside down. They need flipped
Yea mate I am aware of that now, responded to the others too. Still ended up removing them. Thanks anyway👍
Front and rear dimensions of the central steering shaft?
Please Use link in description
Are the housings cast or machined?
I believe they are machined
11:23 wth? why you not mount suspension in their mount places and just slap them to side with links mounting? 0_o
That is how they mount buddy
How did u install the motor?.like is it just put the shaft in and bolt?
The gearbox has a plate which I had to drill to holes in to mount the motor with, put the provided gear on the motor shaft put it in the gearbox and installed 2 screws which hold in the motor plate.
@@combarccrawlers3948 thank you for the tip. Got it installed now. Follow up question dis u apply any grease in gear area.
@@Anupkulkarni23 I did at first but to be honest, with the motor I am using it revs so much the geatbox was making whistling sounds and was not operating smooth enough. So what I did is, put silicone sealer around the seam where the motor is mounted and took the top screw which holds the motor plate and put engine oil in. Since then it runs like a champ👍
Can you mount the steering servo to the axle without hitting the motor
No I couldnt fit it that way because It would hit the motor for sure.
@@combarccrawlers3948 What about a 540 brushed motor
How much this weigh so far?
I do not exactly know but I had to make a custom heavy bumper in the front which weighs almost 1kg by itself! So light in the front it was not getting grip.
Your rock sliders are upside down
Motor nya pakai jenis apa...

Comparing to all metal & carbon Axial SCX10 you have tried in ruclips.net/video/ROyxQTeOah0/видео.html . Which one is better?
Well technically, from a competition side this is better because it has higher ground clearance and obviously the portal axles give it an advantage over the straight axle like the scx 10 has. From a scale side, the scx10 chassis is better because those axles are more scale and better looking for a scale build like my ram or ramcharger builds. Those are both scx10 chassis and they turned out good. This however is more competitive. Depends on what you are going for, scale or performance. I love both. That is why I purchased both😉😁 thanks fir commenting👍👍👍
@@combarccrawlers3948 Thank you for your suggestion. This is very useful.
Thanks! Much appreciated👍👍👍
