Thanks for tuning in, Nick! I'm still running this wheel and tire set up on my Hot Racing Rock Racer. It's awesome. They're the perfect mod for the 1/24 scale.
If you look one of the holes is at the bottom of the V line these 2 holes up with the front & the back. The others will then be in line. I found putting a screw in every other hole, snug those down then put the other three screws in and tighten them all down. It’s best to tighten the screws in a criss cross pattern.
Yeah, with 3 different sets of these on three different RC's I've gotten pretty good at assembling them. They're stamped one way and need to go back together that same way or they just don't line up. I always use a criss-cross pattern when setting them but I'll do a full circle pattern to give a little final torque. Thanks for the comment.
I'm convinced the 1/24 scale is where it's at! I like 1/18, too but the variety of parts are more difficult to find. The cool thing is that the 1/24 parts are affordable. I have two 1/10 rigs that break the bank every time I want to do something to them!
Dude we have 5 scx 24s in our house now and it’s really brought our family together ( we even converted our polly tunnel to an all weather course and it’s fkn sick 😃👍 )
I got lucky and looked at RC4WD's site one day a couple of weeks ago and saw that they had a set of Patagonias for 1.0" in stock. I did not hesitate for a second and grabbed them. Building a second set for the D90 I just built.
Thanks, Andy! I barely knew which direction I was headed when I made some of the sections. I can now mix and match all kinds of different stuff and keep myself occupied for hours, lol! Thanks for tuning in, man, it's greatly appreciated!
They look awesome! Glad you went through that installation process. I've seen a few different sets that I was interested in but kind shy'd away from them not sure how difficult the process would be.
Thanks, Chad! I definitely recommend going for it. It's not too difficult and gets easier with a little practice. For the PITA they are, they're totally worth it in the long run! Some beadlock wheels will be easier, as well. These are difficult because they're sort of the low end that RC4WD makes. Higher end milled aluminum wheels go together much easier, for sure.
Thanks, yeah, I definitely didn't like how busy it was so I changed it right away. As for the roof, you can check out the video I did on the reveal of the paint job. Maybe give it a shot if you want to change the look!. ruclips.net/video/5hr2VvZd7Kg/видео.html
Hey Mark, how are you liking the Pat’s? these are the tires that Im about decided on for my Rubi. Also thinking of getting the SSD 1” wheels when available (they are 23g each). any thoughts? Ive already got the 13g diffs fr and r and the knuckles...
They're awesome. Perfect fit for the Rubicon. Perfect for this chassis, really. Good traction and much wider than stock. Decided to leave the foams in and so far so good. My only thoughts on the wheels would be weight and straining the motor. I burned my motor up with just 10g wheel weights on it with factory wheels and tires.
Could you combine the wheel weights in the video with the RC4WD wheels? I've tried but the axles is fairly short and it's hard to get the wheel weigts out of the wheels again afterwards, so I'm not sure whether it's good to combine them.
Thanks for your question. I just checked a set of wheel weights with a set of stamped steel bead locks and they would work if the wheel weight hex was filed down on all six sides to fit the hub of the wheel. I was looking on eBay once and I think I saw a set of wheel weights specifically for RC4WD wheels. The fit like sleeves over the hub. Pretty cool idea.
Thank you! I started this RC channel on a whim and had no idea how well it would do. Thanks for the sub! #65 🙏 I really like my MN99s after I switched all the WPL upgrade parts over to it. As for the WPL trucks, I haven't touched those for months since I got that Defender! The SCX24s, Panda Hobby Tetra X1, and the RC4WD 1/18 pretty much get all my attention these days. The WPLs just sit on a shelf. I have a 1/18 Defender body from RC4WD that's waiting on a chassis to build it up. I may hybridize an SCX24 for it. I think it would work really well for the scale / body size.
@@VermontScaleCustoms Thanks for your opinion. I got very interested in the smaller scales as the come along nicely with the excavator which is 1/16 scale. Wpl has it's problems..
It's tough the first few times through but if you want the least expensive beadlock option on the market, the Stamped Steel option is the way to go. I have at least 5 sets across multiple different scales.
I was gonna get these wheels with the rock creeper tires for my C10, but the wheels are out of stock. A couple of sellers have them at ebay, but at double their price or more lol
Yeah, I see that people are charing $70 for a set of 1" aluminum beadlock wheels when you pay only $30-40 for a set of 1.9" to throw on a 1/10 scale crawler. No one should pay more than $25 for a set of these stamped steel wheels! Thanks for tuning in, sgecko7!
My only suggestion is to do like I did and just keep checking RC4WD’s site. It’s a crapshoot but there is always a chance. I got super lucky one week and nabbed a second set of Patagonia 1” and then the following week a set of black stamped steel bead lock wheels appeared on the site. It’s the luck of the draw.
@@VermontScaleCustoms yeah I have a set of Pantagonias but the bead locks have been hard to find. I’ll keep checking that site, only other place I’ve found them on is eBay but people are selling them for ridiculous prices.
@@jakegrisham959 I hear you loud and clear on the eBay price gouging thing going on. Just keep looking and you'll eventually nab a set. I'm happy to have the 4 sets that I have. I bought 3 sets a while ago. The only ones I had to wait and search around to find were the black set I mentioned in my previous comment. I think I found those at A-Main Hobby.
After using them for a while, I think that the Patagonia leave a lot to be desired compared to the Irok Super Swamper or the BFG KR3, the Scramblers, etc. I've got two different sets and would love to sell them. I never use them anymore. Just collecting dust.
👍Just the video I wanted to see now that I ordered the exact same wheel/tire combo for my scx24 Jeep

It's cool that you can upgrade such a small rig. These 24th scale are getting really interesting.

My favorite tires in 1.9. Patagonia’s are unstoppable on the rocks. I prefer them over hyrax any day.

I like the all white look without the factory decals. I might do the same. Did you paint the rear topper section or tape it black?

@@VermontScaleCustoms already planning the barrage upgrade and have the emax servo waiting to go in. Ill give the weight a bit more thought though.
My friend and I bought have a set of the pats and easily our worse tire we have Baja claws scramblers rock creepers

Can you flip these wheels to get more width ?

Can you put links in the reply to what tool I need to get the rim of the truck

Patagonia or wranglers.
For a tlas 6x6
Two totally different tires. I have no experience with the 6x6 or Wranglers so it’s tough to say.
👍👌🤙cool
Just made my first little edit with my scx24 ...feel free to check it out, more to come!
Nice course! Sub #3, right here.

In stock now. Just ordered a few days ago and they just came in now.
Love the look of those wheels, but they are the cheapest pieces of crap wheels I've bought.
I have multiple sets across multiple scales. They have their faults but they work.
Like a surgery bro!
These bead locks are a real PITA. But they look good when they're finished!
@@VermontScaleCustoms and lower the cg :)
Stock tires SUCK compared to the Patagonias..🤷🏻♂️
