    Just recently got into 1/24 ... Love it .. got the grey c10... Was stock for a week .. now it's got almost all the goodies you could want .. just waiting for my furitek/lizard brushless upgrade.
    I actually have the same axcels and was very impressed as well.. keep up the excellent content.

  • @mb9996
    @mb9996 2 года назад +7

    The overdrive is mostly all positives for the scx24..
    1) faster moving front wheels will make for a tighter turning radius. Cause the front is moving faster than the rear.
    2) in climbing steep obstacles, it will help keep your front tires planted as the front is spinning faster than the rear, increasing the pulling force from your truck while also reducing the truck from rolling over backwards. Which helps with climbs. More pulling force is better than pushing force or equal when it comes to climbing.
    3) in general it mostly beneficial for slow crawling.
    The downside is that it can be hard on drive trains, as your drivetrain is constantly binding from the overdrive, causing more stress on your motor and axels mostly from the front tires spinning faster. Definitely going to wear out drive cups faster. However probably not a big deal considering the little amount of overdrive (I wanna say its like 9 or 11% with the treals), especially with a slow crawler.
    I would not recommend a overdrive for setups with high Kv brushless motors cause of wear will be exponentially higher to your dogbones, drive cups and overall drivetrain.

    • @mb9996
      @mb9996 2 года назад +1

      One more tip.. run longer steering servo horns, especially if you have aftermarket servos. You will get alot more travel out of your servo.. the little tip is "see that little notch on the top of your vertical steering link, thats there so the other link (that connects horn to horizontal link) can run parallel with the horizontal link and the notch is slotted for the joint head so it won't bind.

    • @mb9996

    Thanks for showing us the mods on your rigs... I actually want the overdrive gears for both the front and rear of mine, just to increase wheelspeed a bit, the nano beast from mofo is a torque monster but slower than frozen snot running down a kids face...
    Sometimes I pay the price for modding my rigs... I have a Hotwheels 1/28 Monster Jam Avenger diecast body on mine, and to fit it, I needed to swap out the front end of a C10 to the rear of my Deadbolt. I have to buy 2 sets of everything to do any major chassis work, I need the front driveshafts from both the DB and C10. I also need the front high clearance lower links only for the front of both, but have to buy 2 complete high clearance link sets. At least I still have a complete C10 to use those excess parts on... lol

    • @UpperLeftRC
      @UpperLeftRC  2 года назад +1

      Yeah I’ve been looking at the nano beast motor and want to pick one up in the future, if you used overdrive in the front and rear axle then you technically would get more wheel speed but I don’t think you would notice it, when I tested the overdrive to see how much faster it was I used tape on the wheels and it takes almost 5 full revolutions of the wheels to see the difference in speed, it’s seems to be overdriven by a very small margins so before you buy them keep that in mind 😄👍🏻 as far as buying double the parts for your rigs, that sucks lol but it is good that you can use them on your other c10 🤘🏼
