Just picked up my 5th scx24 and still loving the mini hobby section. With winter around the corner. These make great little past times. Thanks for the content! Cheers!
The only Axial I bought is a B-17 Betty. I was given a SCX24 Jeep (my niece dumped her bf and he left it behind) I hardly use them as I just usually run my 1/10th crawler. Lots of great points in this video, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
I get what you’re saying. My problem is that with 1/24 you can build a more interesting course indoors. With the 1/18 to scale up the course it’s just going to be so much space consumed to keep it as interesting. Now if we’re going outside. I don’t know why you wouldn’t just wanna go 1/10. My only rebuttal to what you said is with what you get with some other makes stock. Just because with this hobby. Who is leaving their rigs stock? No matter how good it is out of the box. We always want a little more. Now what you said about doing a full parts build. That’s kinda spot on. Great vid, thanks for the content.
Thank you very much i have always loved the small rigs and some of the scx24s look really cool with the stock bodies its that servo and motor if they just improved those two things it would be great i really appreciate your feedback hope you have a wonderful day
Great video Brent, everything you said was spot on! The only SCX24 I have that's still running the stock motor and servo is the Betty because I want to keep it OG. All the other SCX24's that I have had the servos and motors upgraded although they still run the stock ESC/Rec combo. The last mini crawler I got was the FCX24 Blazer from FMS and with a quick body change to a lighter Lexan it does just as well as my modded Axial while still running the stock equipment! Not sure if Axial can keep up with the competition without drastically raising the price.
Big watch and full like from me man! Couldn't agree more with all of your points. I still love my scx24s but I think Im done buying new ones unless there on sale for like 60$ or somthing. Also agree with what you said about Traxxas. I have been a huge fan for almost 30 years and one of the biggest reasons is the part support, wish other companies would get on board with that. I troll axial quite a bit mostly because I dont like horizion. They need to see this video!
I got into mini crawling because if the Ascent 18. Best value for money in my opinion. I don't need licensed bodies and the truck just goes. Like you said, o ly upgraded things because I wanted to, nit because I had to. The price of the Axial stuff should be $80 for what you get, and then have to upgrade.
This is a great video. Though I’m not a big fan of the small crawlers, I do have a couple and I’m considering building an all Injora custom TRX4m with their buggy chassis. Never had a scx24 but i do really like that Lexus body.
The body will be sold separately. Over priced of course but it won't come with a bunch of garbage attached. Axial must be taken for a ride on their licenses fees to have this little quality at this price.
I have just the Deadbolt, not a fan at all. For me the best value I have used is FMS and the TRX4m dearer but I like it. The upgrade cost a good 1/10th for the price. The assent 18 a real bargain, not in the UK but did not know what name they are under. FTX now does a Competition low profile brushless crawler for £169.
Also i wish the SCX24 was an SCX18 and all the aftermarket parts. Easier to work on. If you break a screw which easily happens with those M1,4s often you have to throw the part away, i bought 200 piece packs of screws because no matter how careful you are, using them more than once when doing mods easily ruins the hex. Also easier if you have to make or modify a part, sawing, filing, very often impossible or very hard on 24 size. All of that in 1/18 would be awesome.
Right on the money. I picked up a trx4m and swapped out all the electronics motor and trans gears, took a fraction of the time compared to doing it on an SCX24.
They pay for licensing for the falken wildpeaks and the body's. It's 150 dollars, what's to be expected for that price? A fully kitted out 24? Every model gets modified in some way, none stay stock unless they sit on shelf's.
I expect them to put at least as good of a motor and servo as their competition its not a unreasonable expectation I have bought every release since the deadbolt it should get updated just like the scx10,i,ii and iii
I love the platform because of the many aftermarket parts available (most really affordable) but agree that the stock is useless other than a toy for a child and i think it is too fragile for that there would be better options. I wonder why Axial does not but out anything new but one ugly Hardbody version after the other, wonder who is going to buy those. I spent a few K on the platform but no Axial parts in them. I stayed away from Traxxas or Redcat (not available in Europe), bought one Hobby Plus T-Hunter but realized almost no aftermarket parts and even hard to get spare parts so i stay with the SCX24 platform.
Hell, most of my SCX24 builds are over the 500 mark. People say they are cheaper than 1/10s… well, I don’t see that. I have some that are about equal in cost. This hobby can do that easily if you let yourself. But you can build in the cheap as well of course.
I wanted to get a 1/10 but realized 1/10s at the levels of my SCX24 builds don't cost 500 but 3000, look at Exo and Dluxfab, the equivalent of a Hardpark or Mazz Chassis starts at 2 K. And you don't buy transmissions for 20 Bucks and a set of Axles for 100 or draw and print a custom chassis for almost nothing.
I have 2 RTRs that l bought new. One is a SCX and one FCX. I'm more into tinkering than driving. Probably will never buy another RTR. Too much gets thrown out on the SCX. The FCX is actually pretty tough. Only thing to go out on it were the diff gears.
Couldn't agree more axial need to up there game i haven't bought a 24 for a long time for memory the c10 cost me stock $289.00 personally i think 18s took over 24's need the skills of a jeweller to work on, new brands are not just being humoured in the hobby they're competing and taking over traxxas are stupid expensive but you get what you pay for only dissapointment is the steering servo and there PR department acting like a Halloween movie ..... although 10th scale cross rc are making some impressive rigs ..... hopefully axial see things like this and realise customers are spending there money elsewhere and start competing again 👊
Your video couldn't come sooner. I've never had a crawler, and I'm still unsure what to get. Between this, the Redcat Ascent, the FCX24..it's hard to choose.
I prefer the 18th scale one over the 24t5h scale ones now. They are more capable outdoors and can run the areas I do with the 10th scale rigs. The 24th scales are fun for indoors mostly. The FMS 24th scale truck I have I do prefer a lot more than the SCX24. I just slapped brass wheels on it and it does great! I think the mini crawler fad is dying down, not dying out yet but it has certainly slowed down a lot. I think they can do little better to keep it alive but like you said, doing the traxxas body swap over and over is not going to keep it going.
Thank you Addam the long wheel base scx24 like the power wagon and Gladiator are about the same size as the trx4m they are my favorite of the scx24s i love small rigs they have been including 24 courses at crawling events been pretty fun but Axial really needs to step it up the ascent 18 is probably the best for the money I think
I love the SCX24 for the reason it’s unchanged. Keeping parts compatibility across all models is smart. Look at the aftermarket, it’s just great. Look at the innovation the platform is driving in the micro world…(LGRP, HardPark, Mofo RC) All RTRs have complaining points. SCX24 is no different. I’m in the camp of liking companies staying with a platform for a long time. That says something.
I love the look and concept of the Atlas 6x6, but want to upgrade it. Get it more "up to date" so to speak. I wish Hobby Plus made a Arktos type platform without the extra flatbed and winch setup. I love my CR18 trail hunter evo, I wish they made a 6x6 version of that. I thought about what it would take to convert my atlas 6x6 to run the bigger motor, 2-speed transmission, hobby plus portals (prefer them over fms portals). Would really love to figure out how to build a chassis that properly fits the fms power wagon hardbody onto all that too, replace the cheap looking lexan atlas body. If anyone has any ideas or advice, let me know! It will be much appreciated
@@AdventureTimeRC I thought about that, I was hoping to avoid buying a whole new r/c to build this project I have in mind... but it is starting to look like the easiest solution. Still wouldn't want to let everything leftover from the atlas go to waste... I have also wanted to build a half-track. Maybe I could use the Arktos flatbed as a base for a cargo bed with a soft top cover. find a somewhat functional quality toy grade military truck for the cab and tank for the tracks. Would be a fun project to get creative with. I wonder if the fms or hobbyplus transmission mount for the 2 speed trans and motor could work on the atlas frame Wish I had a 3d printer, that would make things a lot easier lol.
Sadly all you said's true. They better do some innovations on the next car or the trend's dead. And for the afer-market guys. I'm still waiting on AX parts. Many jumped on the 4M train and forget that the AX needs other parts than the SCX.
I used scx parts on my AX . Mofo deadbolt rear trailing arms , C10 high clearance links in front , 48mm rear shocks , 43mm front shocks , 050 motor , 14% front overdrive transmission , 30% underdrive gears front and rear . Spent some money to get it to perform and it performs well.
I thought they were cool but after having a few mini crawlers I got bored of them may as well just bring a 1/10 scale in my opinion.. But I think the scx 24 is a great little crawler and everyone followed and got better minis that came out afterword's but I still think the scx 24 is king for true 1/24 scale size.
I don't buy any rtr rc. I take all the electronics out, upgrade wheels and tires, upgrade axles, custom chassis, upgrade shocks, I had 13 scx24 's at one time. I'm down to 5 now and they are all one off custom builds.
I enjoy reviewing but building is way more fun and much better performance i am getting ready to strip the older ones down and do something different with them
Not in my opinion. Axial is a toy store when it comes to SCX24 and AX24. The AX1 is the last SCX24 I bought. It didn't end the SCX24 type builds it just took Axial out of the SCX24 builds. To be fair Traxxas has no part on any of my TRX4M type builds too. FCX24 is dead to me and has been since the 1/24 PowerWagon but that is only because of the company service. The product is very good but with the lying, stealing, scamming, and ignoring of problems (the service) I will not support them. I did buy the 1/10 Atlas on the fathers day sale a couple of years ago because it was suppose to come with the 1/24 6x6 Atlas which they canceled and refunded $65. The 1/24 6x6 Atlas was selling for $111.99 at the time. I accepted the scam and kept the 1/10 Atlas but it ended my support for FMS for the rest of my life. I like my Axial SCX10 Pro but SCX24 is dead to me as well. At this point the name SCX24 RTR means toys and the only hobby grade comes from third parties.
While I agree Axial needs to bring the scx update... to be fair you're comparing different scales other then the Fcx. It's easier to put those bigger electronics in a larger platform.
True but the after market upgrades fit just fine so I imagine the factory could give us a little better servo and motor im not expecting miracles just a bit up updates to make them fun again thank you for commenting and watching very much appreciated
By this point i just don't understand axial, keep releasing the same old crap , they really made waves when these first came out but now they are just making a little ripple in a mud puddle, everyone else is just miles ahead of them I also have a pile of them but the last half i just don't buy them from axial and just buy parts and build them as i want , and same it will be for the lexus , already have the car built and i am just waiting till i can buy the body Totally agree with everything you said in this video except the trx4m part because they are the same as axial , we buy them to throw everything out 😂😂
To be honest I think fms has a large hold on the mini scale crawlers. After market supports good, they had the only stock speed, portal axles, amazing scale bodies, beadlocks wheels, bearings all throughout and steel gears.
I have an axial scx24 gladiator and the only stick part left is the body. And FMS fc80 and k5 pro. K5 pro 140$ and brushless. Great piece of kit. Plus the bodies are really nice. And 8 other minis based on scx24 stuff. I enjoy building them. But I won’t buy another scx24 from axial at this point. I do not like the traxxas minis.
Thank you for the comment I like building custom rigs but I also like to review rtr stuff see just to check it out i like most brands for minis haven't had much luck with panda hobby probably won't buy any more of those
I just built my own crawlers now honestly. I can’t stand the stock setup they are using still. I’m thinking on picking up a fcx24m tho. Iv heard lots of good things about it stock! But yeah all my scx24 now are all custom builds
All mine end up being rebuilt at some point lol just ordered a injora chassis to convert another one over i just think it should have as nice motors and servos as the competition
I just got an Axial ax24, it’s kind of gimmicky. 4 wheel steer is cool but capability isn’t there and I’m not wasting money on this one, it can be what it is. Trx4m is much better, sweet spot as far as size goes. 1/24 is too small in my opinion.
You can buy a 1/10 for about the money it would take to bring the AX24 out of toy grade. with two good strong steering axles, Two strong servos (e-max is not going to do) brass everywhere including wheels to fight the electronics being stacked into a tall tower, and a good motor that would require a good transmission. I did this to mine before salvaging some good stuff I put on it, and gave it away for free.
@ yeah I’ve told people the same , but alot of guys like to dig their heels in to defend their decision on these things. Or call you a fanboy , because that’s the only defence they seem to have these days. Ax24 I bought used and is my first and last 1/24 scale. My 6 year old has fun with it , so that’s something
They are all money pits. I have all of them. You have to put money into each one of them to get them to do what you want them to do, but they are all fun.
This cracks me up. Scx24 is the only real 24th scale. Stop comparing to 18th. The real fcx24 like land-rovers with the small scale bodys are the only one you should compare too. I have the brushless fcx24 k5 and it is way good but let's be real its 18th
I'm comparing the electronics which fit the "only true scale " 1/24 it's time for some updates like the scx10 i ii and iii thays all I'm saying thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated
I'm new to the hobby. I purchased an Axial SCX24 then gave it to my kid. Why? It sucks! My kid even thinks it sucks. I have no nostalgia for the brand. Horizon Hobby is a mega-player, and they are obviously milking the hobbyist market. I built two SCX24-based all-custom trucks that I like okay, but the layout and design is fundamentally problematic. I've heard people do not like Traxxas, but as a new guy I have no reason to hate them. I feel ripped off by Horizon Hobby/Axial, so if I feel any derision toward any brand it is them. Their trucks aren't even worth $50. I won't be buying anything else from Axial, and will think carefully before grabbing anything owned by Horizon.
Horizon hobbies is really hit and miss even when you get a cool new vehicle the parts aren't available for months I don't blame you for being frustrated with them
Is he? He seems to prefer the bigger scale and hardware like I do. That is comparison I guess but what is wrong with that? We are not comparing a orange pie and a jar of apple marmalade to an apple pie and a jar of orange marmalade.

I love my mini crawlers they really do provide lots of fun

I enjoy reviewing them but they really haven't been fun to review lately nothing changes
I've still got my SCX24 Deadbolt which I've lightly modded and the original servo is still going strong! I love that RC 😍
My original deadbolt got turned into a injora cage crawler lol thanks for watching my friend

We got rid of our 1/24 stuff, all 1/18 now. I just purchased the New Hobby Plus/Furitek in red Rushmore rig...
There are so many options for mini crawlers i have the furitek Torpedo in the ascent 18 really smooth 😎
Also i wish the SCX24 was an SCX18 and all the aftermarket parts. Easier to work on.

@aj508746 i just did a trx4m build to
This is a killer way to get o to crawling.
But I never run mine but if you have indoor only can make some amazing rigs!

They definitely could use some performance upgrades out of the box. You're definitely right when saying the competition has passed them by
Thank you Jason I hope the rest do the platform next time
Hell, most of my SCX24 builds are over the 500 mark. People say they are cheaper than 1/10s… well, I don’t see that. I have some that are about equal in cost. This hobby can do that easily if you let yourself. But you can build in the cheap as well of course.
I agree it's easy to spend the same amount on the little ones the only thing you save is space
@@AdventureTimeRC so true! 😂 Cheers!

FCX24M for $99. I'm loving the scale look and two speed.
The Fcx24 is a great rig
I love the SCX24 for the reason it’s unchanged. Keeping parts compatibility across all models is smart. Look at the aftermarket, it’s just great. Look at the innovation the platform is driving in the micro world…(LGRP, HardPark, Mofo RC)
All RTRs have complaining points. SCX24 is no different.
I’m in the camp of liking companies staying with a platform for a long time. That says something.

The atlas body only needs a paint job and a few scale accessories and it will look great , out of the box does look cheap 😂
Sadly all you said's true. They better do some innovations on the next car or the trend's dead. And for the afer-market guys. I'm still waiting on AX parts. Many jumped on the 4M train and forget that the AX needs other parts than the SCX.
I used scx parts on my AX . Mofo deadbolt rear trailing arms , C10 high clearance links in front , 48mm rear shocks , 43mm front shocks , 050 motor , 14% front overdrive transmission , 30% underdrive gears front and rear . Spent some money to get it to perform and it performs well.
@kevincasey6876 thanks for the tip. I did this compromise for the motor and the servos. But for the linkages I wanted excact fitting parts.

I like my Axial SCX10 Pro but SCX24 is dead to me as well.
At this point the name SCX24 RTR means toys and the only hobby grade comes from third parties.
I think fms I crushing them. Scx24s have a great aftermarket, but they suck out of the box. Fxc24s are decent out of the box.
Exactly I just wish the motor and servo were better
While I agree Axial needs to bring the scx update... to be fair you're comparing different scales other then the Fcx. It's easier to put those bigger electronics in a larger platform.
True but the after market upgrades fit just fine so I imagine the factory could give us a little better servo and motor im not expecting miracles just a bit up updates to make them fun again thank you for commenting and watching very much appreciated
By this point i just don't understand axial, keep releasing the same old crap , they really made waves when these first came out but now they are just making a little ripple in a mud puddle, everyone else is just miles ahead of them
I also have a pile of them but the last half i just don't buy them from axial and just buy parts and build them as i want , and same it will be for the lexus , already have the car built and i am just waiting till i can buy the body
Totally agree with everything you said in this video except the trx4m part because they are the same as axial , we buy them to throw everything out 😂😂
Thank you very much i appreciate the great feedback this was a great comment
👍
To be honest I think fms has a large hold on the mini scale crawlers. After market supports good, they had the only stock speed, portal axles, amazing scale bodies, beadlocks wheels, bearings all throughout and steel gears.
Also they are pretty cheap.
After market is endless with the scx24. Other platforms not so much lol
That is correct so much you can build your ideal rig from just parts
I have an axial scx24 gladiator and the only stick part left is the body. And FMS fc80 and k5 pro. K5 pro 140$ and brushless. Great piece of kit. Plus the bodies are really nice. And 8 other minis based on scx24 stuff. I enjoy building them. But I won’t buy another scx24 from axial at this point. I do not like the traxxas minis.
Thank you for the comment I like building custom rigs but I also like to review rtr stuff see just to check it out i like most brands for minis haven't had much luck with panda hobby probably won't buy any more of those
cool new look, RC with great adventure, always good videos bro👍👍😃
Thank you brother
Replaced every motor no longer buying scx24 got a few trx4m s
Very nice 24 collection

Thank you Carlos
👋😁
I just built my own crawlers now honestly. I can’t stand the stock setup they are using still.
I’m thinking on picking up a fcx24m tho. Iv heard lots of good things about it stock!
But yeah all my scx24 now are all custom builds
All mine end up being rebuilt at some point lol just ordered a injora chassis to convert another one over i just think it should have as nice motors and servos as the competition
I just got an Axial ax24, it’s kind of gimmicky. 4 wheel steer is cool but capability isn’t there and I’m not wasting money on this one, it can be what it is. Trx4m is much better, sweet spot as far as size goes. 1/24 is too small in my opinion.
You can buy a 1/10 for about the money it would take to bring the AX24 out of toy grade. with two good strong steering axles, Two strong servos (e-max is not going to do) brass everywhere including wheels to fight the electronics being stacked into a tall tower, and a good motor that would require a good transmission.
I did this to mine before salvaging some good stuff I put on it, and gave it away for free.
@ yeah I’ve told people the same , but alot of guys like to dig their heels in to defend their decision on these things. Or call you a fanboy , because that’s the only defence they seem to have these days. Ax24 I bought used and is my first and last 1/24 scale. My 6 year old has fun with it , so that’s something
@shockman80😮👍❤️14
Does the jeep wrangler have the same wheel base as the ford bronco
where is the redcat ascent 18 bro way better than all that junk
Lol at the end of the video
They are all money pits. I have all of them. You have to put money into each one of them to get them to do what you want them to do, but they are all fun.
This cracks me up. Scx24 is the only real 24th scale. Stop comparing to 18th. The real fcx24 like land-rovers with the small scale bodys are the only one you should compare too. I have the brushless fcx24 k5 and it is way good but let's be real its 18th
I'm comparing the electronics which fit the "only true scale " 1/24 it's time for some updates like the scx10 i ii and iii thays all I'm saying thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated
My wife likes small scale and keeps them stock.
I'm new to the hobby. I purchased an Axial SCX24 then gave it to my kid. Why? It sucks! My kid even thinks it sucks. I have no nostalgia for the brand. Horizon Hobby is a mega-player, and they are obviously milking the hobbyist market. I built two SCX24-based all-custom trucks that I like okay, but the layout and design is fundamentally problematic. I've heard people do not like Traxxas, but as a new guy I have no reason to hate them. I feel ripped off by Horizon Hobby/Axial, so if I feel any derision toward any brand it is them. Their trucks aren't even worth $50. I won't be buying anything else from Axial, and will think carefully before grabbing anything owned by Horizon.
Horizon hobbies is really hit and miss even when you get a cool new vehicle the parts aren't available for months I don't blame you for being frustrated with them
It’s why I stick to 1/10 or bigger
You are comparing apples and oranges. 1/24 to 1/18.
Is he? He seems to prefer the bigger scale and hardware like I do. That is comparison I guess but what is wrong with that? We are not comparing a orange pie and a jar of apple marmalade to an apple pie and a jar of orange marmalade.
