Thanks dude! Simple solution to a common problem. Only thing I’d do differently would be to mount it lower and have the servo pull to parallel vs pull to perpendicular to the force but it works awesome!
Lol. Not good for anything anymore. China doesn’t give an eff. Good luck if they want to copy it! Lol. That was a super fun mod, though! Thanks for hangin. Hope you have a great one, bro!
@@jimbo4203 It’s lighter than the JLU body. I can get an actual measurement. It was just meant to be as simple and small as possible to cover the esc and battery in the stock position and look kinda cool. It’s super durable! The buggy is pretty heavy and I push it pretty hard. It cracked once in the roof. Clean split. I glued it back together with the same glue I assembled it with. It’s definitely banged up but I can hit it with a little sand paper and oil it back up and should be looking fairly sharp again, enough for a rock buggy, anyway. I’ll do a video coming up and make a new body and hope fully find a way to make the parts available for anyone that would want them.
Being a total newb, I've been binging folks videos and hadn't seen yours before seeing you mentioned over on Sinisters YT channel. Funny enough, this exact devise pooped into my head without seeing yours. I hadn't finished it out in my head, but now don't have to! LOL! Only thing else I considered was a way to do it so the front sucks down, but the back raises up to full height. My thinking is this would give you the lowness for the front but keep the back up for clearance but also tip the body weight even more forward by propping up the back. Having said that, I just started watching your vid's so that may be something you also have tried already! Ha ha. Thanks!!!
RL 1/1 they do this all the time with the front winch wrapped around the front axle “adjustable limiting straps lol” liked the video, always nice to see innovation😍 Expiowa is just teaching the basic’s, I got to 61 degrees without lifting a tire from watching his videos.
I love Matt! I greatly appreciate guys like him doing these builds, trying the parts and extracting every ounce of performance out of these tiny cars and sharing that all with us for free! Great job on the 61! That’s top notch.
in full size rigs people use a winch to there axle to suck the front end down for same kinda reason pretty much and they call it a suck down winch wicked idea good work
AWESOME! AMAZING! what else can I say! That is a great idea. I will definitely be trying this on one of my rigs! Thanks for the great idea and really nice video! Keep it going!
Thanks! Super easy and still works great. If you end up doing it and have the space, the servo needs to pull to parallel the string it’s pulling rather than to perpendicular, as I have mine. If it was parallel, it could be run either way without too much strain on the servo.
Yessir! I was made aware of that after I told someone what I wanted to do. It’s a common problem with a simple solution. Apparently, this may have already been done on the 1/24 scale but I haven’t seen it.
This could also be fixed with limit strap. Lets say u take some fishing line from wheel on each axle , and loop it around some place center on chassis . Ofc center point must allow the line to move. That way u limit your hight, but still allow for shock ekstension. But damn i love the small motor adjusting ridehight ... freaking awsome!!
EENIG Thank you so much for the comment! “This could also be fixed with a limiting strap.” Yes and no. By limiting the down stroke, clearance is lost. The buggy rides pretty much slammed with the shocks at about 90% sag using my little spring trick, which allows the wheels to drop out over humps and ledges when the belly gets hung up. A limiting strap would help a flexy car climb and most times side hill better but it doesn’t actually “fix” the problem because there’s more than one problem being overcome. Limiting straps would still be a compromise, although it does help performance in certain areas. If I limited the suspension to where it is when I press the button, fully slammed with no drop at the diffs, it wouldn’t actually be near as capable because it would always be hung up. It does climb like a monster, though! Also, realize that I’m running two JLU rear end four links. It’s pretty long. The buggy is only about 1/4-3/8” shorter than the gladiator, running smallish tires. It all depends on what you want your car to do, over what terrain and what makes it fun for you! Most of the time it’s a compromise but with a little creativity, it doesn’t always have to be. Hope you have a great day!
Would love a full breakdown of your CR24. I’ve just got one and have bought all and every mod for it. I’m now at the point of having to fabricate mods if I want to take it any further. Your’s looks super unique!
Man that’s awesome congratulations on a great video thanks.
Awesome setup! On a full size 4x4 crawler that would be called a suck down winch.
Awesome! Thanks! Hope you have a great day.
Dude, this is freaking ingenious!!

Amazing bit of ingenuity there. Quick! Get a patent on those!

Wow that’s pretty slick, that body made out of wood that’s cool
Yeah buddy! Thank you so much! It’s about time to make another one and get the parts out for other people to build them.
@@texomarc ya really cool ! Haven't seen a wood body , probably durable and relatively light

Btw, thanks!!! I really appreciate the comment and I hope you have a great day!
What a creative solution. I have to figure out how to do this with a build. Great video!
Thank you so much! Hope you have a great day. Holler if you have questions.
Wow what an great idea and you have shared it with us. O man you just sold it for free🧐. Well done my friend 💪💥🕺💥

I realized later that I was thinking of Matt from 2fm RC, another great channel. EXPIOWA, is definitely awesome.

Yessir! Thanks! Hope you have a great day, bro!
Lol! That healthy poop add on the angle finder app? Guess if you’re bent more than 60 degrees over a toilet you may need their products.
Great idea texoma
Genius .
Thanks dude! Hope you have a great day!
AWESOME! AMAZING! what else can I say! That is a great idea. I will definitely be trying this on one of my rigs! Thanks for the great idea and really nice video! Keep it going!
Thank you so much! Hope it works out. Send me a link if you ever get it going!
Subbed. I’ll check you out later. Hope you have a great day!
That’s an interesting concept. Not sure I’d like the added high weight of the servo. Need to look at one of mine & see if I can mount a servo lower.
I redid it. I’ll show you soon. Much better!
Have you tried a full flex setup, no springs, and center mounted single limiting straps? Working absolutely choice for me!
No, not yet. Coming up I’d like to do a complete build with aftermarket LCG chassis and may have to give it a try.
That’s awesome man I mite have to try your retractor trick that’s pretty slick
Thanks! Super easy and still works great. If you end up doing it and have the space, the servo needs to pull to parallel the string it’s pulling rather than to perpendicular, as I have mine. If it was parallel, it could be run either way without too much strain on the servo.
I can only run it low when I need it, with the way it’s setup.
In the 1.1 world, people use their winch to do that as well, "suck down" winch.
Yessir! I was made aware of that after I told someone what I wanted to do. It’s a common problem with a simple solution. Apparently, this may have already been done on the 1/24 scale but I haven’t seen it.
Wow very nice. Texoma rc for the win! You make it look easy.
Wow! Thanks for that!
And by the way awesome wooden bodies. Thanks for being positive
Heck yeah, dude! It’s the only way to be! I sure appreciate you being here and I hope you have a great weekend!
interesting... have you tried front only?
Yeah, that’s how it ran, after awhile. The back came loose. Thanks for hangin. Hope you have a great one.

i use a single necklace chain from link to servo tray in front and link mount to battery tray in back maybe 3/4 inch long. and no springs
@@tenToesUp747
Mind blown on the necklace for chain. No brainer. Thanks for the idea. Hope you have a great night!
Cool idea bro👊
Thank you so much! Congrats on hitting 30mph! That was too fun.
Who caught the “healthy poop” add? Gotta love free software!
I'm over 50 and approve that ad.......LOL!
I had that same idea because of the same problem. Have you tried it on just the front?
Sure. Just the front was better than nothing but both together went the steepest. Thanks for hanging out bro. Hope you have a great one.
Would love a full breakdown of your CR24. I’ve just got one and have bought all and every mod for it. I’m now at the point of having to fabricate mods if I want to take it any further. Your’s looks super unique!
Thanks! Yep, that’s what you gotta do. Papa Woody is badass! I’ll see what I can do. Hope you have a great one!
I just sub ya bro very cool innovation 👊👊👊
Awesome! Thanks for hanging out and I appreciate the encouragement! Hope you have a great day!
v2 = independent front and rear 🤘
Have to give up rear steer or get more channels. Might have to do it on the gladiator.
It's EXP IOWA.
Yeah, he corrected me. Thanks!
2:20 😳
Thanks!
It’s a suck down winch we use the exact same principle In real 1:1 crawling
