Really appreciated this video! Your product testing enabled me to decide on purchasing the Batrazzi wheels $$$ for all 4 of my FCX24M Camel rigs. Thanks for making this video and your information was superbly presented!!
I shredded my rear axle/differential gears when I added weight unfortunately. Not a ton of good aftermarket options available for upgrading the little gears in the axles. On my FCX18 land cruiser LC80 I put brass wheels on it but I also have the Injora helical gears in the axles and those are pretty sturdy gears. haven't been able to find a good aftermarket solution for the FCX24M so I'm taking the bead locks off mine and putting the Defender90 wheels and tires from FMS on it
Great improvement, these are trailer trucks not supposed to be doing these climbing, but low weight is good and the wheels look better 👍 you can also use the chassis weights for the scx they fit
Yeah, I’ve put a set on my defender 110 big difference waiting on a set for my discovery. I went with the silver this time appreciate the video, and yes, they was the easiest bead locks I’ve ever put together.
Hey gutes Video ich hoffe es folgen noch mehr solcher Videos. Was noch spannend wäre was für Servos oder Motoren passen würden. Ob man diese von Scx24 übernehmen kann 🤔
I’ve got the Range Rover, LOVE IT .....BUT definitely needs bigger wheels for DIFF clearance. Looking for recommendations. I have some 56’ from 1:18 but just that bit too big. Thinking the wheels from the Camel Defender might be the go, open to recommendations....?
Did not try any other wheels - guess it is strongly depending on body clearance. For me those are ok as they are with small wheels, for performance I do have other trucks. RC4WD has a lot of good small 1.0 tires with OD 48 - 54 mm. Check their site.
Messingfelgen (oder hier Ringe) sind halt eine Möglichkeit... in der Größe gibt es keine Messingfelgen (jedenfalls aktuell noch nicht), und in 1.0 sind die meisten halt nicht sehr schön bzw. scale.
Quick question for anyone who has the answer Im trying to upgrade the servo on my FCX24M, however, the mounting location for the upper 3 link was placed directly behind the servo mount, which prevents the use of any of the extra, more powerful servos i have on hand. I have found that the stock scx24 servo does fit, and thats what im temporarily using. Does anyone have suggestions for a more powerful but smaller sized servo for this new platform?
I just left Hobbytown and I had three guys helping me, with mine. We used a file and Dremel tool to file down the sides of the servo mount. After doing that, I was able to fit more servos on there. We wanted to use the traxxas, upgraded micro servo (TRA2065R) that comes stock, with the trx4mt. I actually have several servos, at home, and decided to use a 9G servo from Amazon. It works well and performs so much more efficiently. The servo has zero issues turning the front wheels with at least 124g of brass in them. Good luck and I hope you can find a solution.
They're not "true" 1/24 are they? 0:26 Instead of an unboxing video maybe what you could do is "donaldsneffe's First Impression". The rest of these YT channels doing unboxing videos, well they are clickbaity bullshit with almost zero substance or valuable info because all they do is just read the box. They're not real hobbyists like yourself. Thanks for all you do, even if you're late.
Thank you, but actually I am a bit YT (and RC-trucks) lazy, it is summer ;-) And I think many of those "usual" RUclipsrs do make good videos, and some are also "real" hobbyists. It is not the fault of those guys, culprits are IMO the companies, which send the new trucks in advance to the channels and the RUclipsrs do have to prepare a video for "release day", and then I do have 5 - 10 (or more) videos about the same new model in my sub feed, within one or two hours. Personally I liked this more three, four, five years ago when "everybody" ordered his new trucks and unboxings/reviews popped up for several weeks, after people had received the model, checked it, did their video. And there were many more channels doing this at those days... Times change - companies use YT for their promo and advertising nowadays, and many of the countless small (and often super interesting) channels don't do new videos anymore. Scale: No, not real scale 1/24. Guess it is hard to do a really correct scale 1/24, ... Discovery Camel Trophy for example, wheelbase 134 mm, vs. 254 cm - about 1/19, length 232 mm vs. 452 cm... ca. 1/19.5, ... Real 1/24 trucks would be super small, Disco only about 10.5 cm wheelbase... Tried sometimes to use real 1/24 bodies (Revell plastic models) for "our" popular RC micros, never worked.

This time it's us watching you at 3 in the morning ;-) Fair is fair.
LOL - 3 a.m. (EU winter time) is ok, 4 a.m. (our summer time) is really hard.
Awesome! So glad to have these trucks and can't wait to get the upgraded wheels on! Thank you
Muy buena.
Genial esos contrapesos.
Saludos.
Please do a full MCCT with the Discovery or perhaps all the versions 👍🏼

I think stock tires are real good. Fair RC / Batrazzi do have a new, upgrade tire for the M's (do not have it yet).
Very informative video. Thank you

I’m getting the weights. I picked up a couple of these as well.
Yeah, I’ve put a set on my defender 110 big difference waiting on a set for my discovery. I went with the silver this time appreciate the video, and yes, they was the easiest bead locks I’ve ever put together.
Which size did you get for the d110? It has slightly larger wheels right?
awsome rig and nice colection great video👌✌👍
subded👍💪

So in term of general performance, would you suggest the Range Rover over diacovery ?
Range Rover is clearly better.
Kann msn sich nicht das ganze Gewichtstuning sparen wenn man Messingfelgen verwendet?
Messingfelgen (oder hier Ringe) sind halt eine Möglichkeit... in der Größe gibt es keine Messingfelgen (jedenfalls aktuell noch nicht), und in 1.0 sind die meisten halt nicht sehr schön bzw. scale.
Can someone tell me what the screw specification are on these models. ( Need some rear differential cover screws )

good experiment but quit with the American "super super" all the time mate😮
