One thing to think about with regards to your rear width is doing what the 1:10 scale comp crawlers do. Maintain a wide width for the front axle so you can have that extra reach for grabbing ledges, but keep the back narrow so that it's easier to navigate through a gate. Sometimes when you're working through a gate, a narrow track in the rear would help you to push through a gate clean. Would be cool if Mofo eventually offered single complete axles. I would like to have a front axle to put on my comp rig and retain the stock axle in the rear.
That’s actually how this truck has been set up for a good while. Just a bit more narrow in the rear. Works great like you explained. I rarely ever run gates so figured I’d go ahead and widen it up a bit.
man these little crawlers are getting exponentially better month by month. i havent done much crawling this year but its always great seeing new products on this channel because if something impresses you then its legit!
castor is the term you are looking for. Some axles have the outer carrier mounted on the axles with splines so the caster angle can be adjusted by rotating the carrier with respect to the axle housing.
Awesome video. Love the clocked design giving more caster, and that steering angle is just unreal. Even just rolling the front axles back on my SCX and FCX to gain caster makes a huge difference, but these X15's are like next level!
Yeah, these are gonna be perfect! My build is going to be 1/18, so the need for some wideners won't be a problem. I haven't looked at what Mofo has avaliable, but if he doesn't have 1/18 axles then these will do great with wideners for sure. I hope the link helps you out, I'll be buying these soon.
The Lock to lock on that front axle is insane and I really like the pin being locked in there by the bearing I keep snapping pins thanks for this video 🤘✌️
Yeah buddy, my buddy Jim Wolf He built a rig with those axles . He loves them, appreciate your sharing I’ve already seen the axles at work with Jim wolfs rig I will be getting a set
I'm sticking with my Treal axels I've never had an issue with them and they are great quality and fit all the SCX 24 aftermarket parts. The other reason is they are always available.
Thank you for the upload Matt I think I want to try and snag a front/ front combo as well and have a front for 2 rigs as well! As for those big ol injora wheels and tires I vote the slayer elite lol
One thing I did notice with the steering link going into his his heavy knuckles it's very precise I mean you got to have that date dead accurate straight and then it's kind of a push fit to get it in on the smaller brass knuckles I didn't really notice that as much
Dang it Matt! Every video I watch slaps me square in the wallet! These do look fantastic for a comp crawler etc. Thankfully not every build will actually need them. They do present an ideal use case, and also point towards other manufactures improving their products. I'd love to see the beefy internals fitted inside something like the Super8, just for the reliability.
Brutal, just brutal. I do have two builds planned, the MB24 and the LGRP Ultra4. I want them to do the things the real rigs do, so not comp crawling necessarily. Maybe I'll do one set of each axles. @@2fmrc
@@silverbulletJKU yeah I loved the palm power early on but they’ve slipped in quality the last couple batches I’ve picked up. The galaxy have been good so far! Hope they stay that way lol
@@2fmrcI think I know what you mean. Back then when I used them I received a couple that had dead cells or issues with delta leads BUT to their defense they offered to replace the order twice over since it would’ve been a wait as they were manufactured. Either way both pack a micro lipo punch and fit unique builds.
If I could and I were to design a front axle I would want to try to make the c hub and the steering linkage have enough clearance to run REALLY narrow offset tires if the customer wanted (meaning wheels that make the track width as narrow as possible, I probably used the wrong terminology) Everyone's experiences vary but I feel like when I use wheels that use a lot of offset and stick out far like deep dishes it makes me get caught up all the time on c hubs which frustrates me.
Get the universal axils. I got 2 set of them for my ax24. I blow axils alot with stupid stock axils. They break just past the bering coming out of the axil.

Can you do a video, maybe a short, showing turning circle with 4ws? I know you don't need 4ws with the steering angle, I just have 4ws X15s and it melts my brain how it steers and thought others would be interested.
I love the performance of this rig. I've seen you've also had the cheat code chassis. Im trying to decide which chassis to get. How would you compare this chassis to the cheat code?
Overall I think I like the cheat code better but I prefer the longer length of this setup. The way I built my cheat code it’s very short and struggles with some uphill stuff just do to it being so short. Both are great options though
@@2fmrc thank you so much for the reply and sharing your experience. I wonder if a chat code xl would fix the short issues you felt. Were you running gladiator links on your chest code back then? I'm running gladiator links and i love the wheelbase, just trying to decide on the chassis. I'm currently running a mofo ugly af 2.0 chasiss, which works surprisingly well with the gladiator wheelbase, but im wishing i had sliders like the cheat code to mount my electronics.
I say it all the time this is where I learned my behavior I blame Matt just teasing I'm going to push it to the fullest while ago I pushed it so hard that I pulled the tire completely out of the bead I want to know what's the best right and if I'm snapping CVD all the time I don't want them
Hey Matt. Great vid! Couple questions I'd like you're thoughts on regarding "why" and "if possible...." ???: The upper and lower tabs, coming off the hub to hold the steering link, wheel to wheel; Any reason there are upper and lower tabs? Without having them in my hand,of course, it looks like the lower tabs could be deleted and have the link ends just sitting on the screw head, maybe with a brass or nylon washer to lessen friction. I know you said you liked the way the link mounts (no need for the "O" rings) But shaving off those lower tabs would gain clearance, I think. Conversely, couldn't the top tab be deleted to gain that wheel clearance issue you had, without having to use extension hex's? ???: Also, the small "S" arms that come out from the axle, top and bottom, and hold the hub; Is there any reason for them to be as wide apart as they are? Again, without them in my hand to look at, I'm just spit-ballin'. But couldn't they be at least half that width apart. The tube sections coming off the hub are really long and don't look necessary. Would certainly make for a better fit inside more sizes and styles of wheel. Thanks Matt!
The only issue with cutting the tabs off like that is the link is only supported on one side so when it takes a hard hit it can sometimes break the screw off that is holding the links on. I’ve had it happen to some bashers that were made that way. Doubt the crawlers would take the beating the basher took but I could definitely see it happening if hit just the wrong way.
@@2fmrc Thanks Matt. Thinking with crawler brain, not basher brain! LOL! I guess maybe if designed with a heavier screw maybe. I just thought it looked a bit overkill. But, I also hadn't considered manufacturing/milling production factors. Smaller/thinner = more chance of failure during production. Vibration alone could bust parts in the milling fixture.
I’m not sure if you covered it or not in the video but these should allow for aftermarket steering knuckles correct? I don’t see why not but figured I would ask seeing as you have a set in person
I run all mofo Hardware on a lot of my rigs right doing a crime while ago and I had the tire and sick to find with these axles that I literally tore the tires loose from the beadlock😊 of the mobo Rim I have never done that
the injora daimond axes are boss and now they have clockable c hubs sooo they are pretty damn good and since you can clock them where you want them thats the best thing ive seen for axles released so far
Hello Matt, did you see the new MEUS Racing Isokinetic 3-Section CVD? I really want to know your opinion on that. They promise a 54° angle steering without jerking.
Yeah that sample is plenty for most people a long time! I started with 2-3 of those samples and now I’m hooked on their products lol. I have the huge tubes of it now.
Kinda slim honestly. I think those look really good. They don’t have the ability to be clocked the way these are and I don’t think I’m gonna pick up anymore scx axles. There’s something new in the works that is going to change what I run in the 1/24 & 1/18s completely I think 😉
I mean it’s a lot of money but I think so. I purchased these myself & I’m happy with them for sure. It’s hard to use something that cost that much on 10-15 trucks so I probably won’t use them as much as I’d like but if I’m going all out for a build I think they are worth it. Especially compared to most scx24 axles that constantly snap cvds on me. I definitely think these are the buy once cry once of axles lol. I don’t see much breaking with these things!
@@2fmrc really?!?! Wow. I’m totally new to this, but I am a bit surprised by that with that. That is the one that is totally all printed parts correct?
Bro, you need to reach out to Josh. I went on Etsy to potentially buy one of these and I can’t even find it. Yeah it shows parts, and other different kits? I think. Nothing like what’s in the video. I don’t know if one is supposed to buy parts to make something, or what. Do you have any info on how to buy one? Appreciate any help Brien
great but not. why go +15. so now you are forced to use mofo cvd. great for mofo but bad for custom builds. looks like 45deg steering? kinda bad now days :/
You are always forced to use their parts whatever you decide for. Injora +4, LGRP, already have some of those and some spare parts, axles, but yes i hesitate to buy the mofos and have to build up another stock of spare parts. They wrote me axles/CVDs are same as TRX4M though. Dont even have them in the shop as spare parts.
I really do! There’s a reason NO good 1/10 crawler runs them. But it’s the best we have for the 1/24s 🤷🏻♂️ and because axial makes them everyone and their brother makes upgrades for them. I’ve been running fcx axles for over a yr & a half now basically and still can’t get anyone to make good overdrive or underdrive for them!

That looks to be about 49 degrees 😳 ... 🤔
The Knuckles, bearings and cvd look identical to the ones one the 4m, makes me wonder if Nick did a mashup of the two to create the X15.
