I love my Everest 10, I got shorter shocks, Proline Hyrax tires, Trailmaster 550 45t motor and I use the Flysky GT5. It will go almost anywhere. Thanks for the Video
I love the articulation of the Everest 10, and because I needed not to lose that, I opted out of using the pen springs. I got the shock keys and was able to mount the shock caps higher on the chassis, and lower the center of gravity. I also cut off the tray of my body and made it a cab-,only body. I also made new mounting holes on the cab and lowered the body onto the chassis. My EVEREST 10 now looks mean, thanks to this video.
Bro!!!! I copied your mods!!!! Your absolutely right!!! It does crawl wayyyyy better!!! Need to get a 25k or 35k servo??? Now im thinking how to put the battery on front (short lipo) - this thingnis easy to work with! Thanks again!
Thanks for providing such good content and knowledge. The E-10 is such a great truck for all around fun. I think I have seen some other videos you put out more recently but I'm just stopping by to see what your using for axel bracing. Always a pleasure to watch your content. 👍👍
@@RoadsideRC Yes . I was impressed . I never thought about anything like that with it .. I'm glad you get to build it into something instead of it setting on the shelf for years . I love seeing those videos like that the before and after . But truck is looking great .
The bent links on the "rear" should have been on the front stock & angled to provide for steering clearance. Another set of bent links comes with the rear steer kit.
Loved how you finally used that spring mod. I am still using it on my jr. Same as when you seen it at axialfest. 1bobber spring and 1 ink pen per rear shock. Never thought about doing on the e10 though
I know this is an older video, I bought aftermarket chassis plates that basically accomplish the extensions that you put on, however I did a DIFFERENT pen spring mod, I actually removed the springs all together and ran the pen springs on the outside of the shaft, they work kind of like a bump stop (they are almost pointless other than keeping the tires off the body) but this allows for full droop so I'm low but don't really lose much articulation at all.
looks cool. you lose travel when you put that spring in and when you move the shock mounts out. I'm new, wouldn't cutting or getting softer springs make it sit lower, be easier, cheaper, faster and increase performance while maintaining the same travel?
You list a lot of items there: Lower - maybe, depends on spec Easier - sure! Cheaper - nope - this was free! Faster - no, not with finding and buying the right ones. Inc Perf - depends. The whole point of this mod is that low budget, which goes very well with the truck being entry level.
I tried doing this I didn't get quite as low with mine and honestly I just didn't care for the style. For my style and type of crawling it got hung up super easy so Easy. I found it handled the best for at least the style of Chrome stock ride height with 4 wheel steering wheel extenders and I'm probably going to need to put some weight in the tires. Shockingly capable. I definitely see how some people could benefit from these upgrades though
Loved this video only thing I wished you would of done differently is mention the weight of the oil haha I wanted to copy you exactly. Made it very easy to understand. I’m new to this game so appreciate the help. Keep it up I’m using 15 weight since idk much and I hope I didn’t mess up lol
Getting ready to order two of these rigs. What are some things I should be aware of? I've watched countless videos on these and for the money they seem to be legitimately a good truck with ability to make insane mods. However...I'm not gonna be doing anything in the realm of extreme crawling with crazy angles lol.....I just really want a better wheel and tire setup for more grip and better looks Then maybe aluminum axle housings🤷♂️
They are fun trucks! There are certainly more capable trucks out there however, depending on your goals - but of course, at a higher price. Wheels and tires are a very important early upgrade. Upgrading the diff locker itself is also good. It is the metal locker in the middle of the diff that could use upgraded. Most likely, you will want to swap out for a lower turn motor to get some more speed out of it. Honestly, don't waste a bunch of $$ on aluminum housing and the like. They don't actually improve the performance.
I love how you made this Everest even a more capable crawler. It would even be more interesting to see if you could do something about the belly rub on the bottom chassis. Maybe there is a aftermarket company out there that makes a slimmer chassis to eliminate belly rub or bottom chassis rub .
Great point. I like the look of the everest and these mods maybe just the pen spring mods and maybe move the shocks a little bit. Also bigger tires and steeper gears
Glad you like them! The Everest 10 is a fun truck. It does have some downsides though. There is a big price jump - but something like the Gen8 really is a better truck.
Everest-10 Pro, l would buy that! I agree with you, it is a under rated rc. I enjoy my E10 as much as my more expensive crawlers. I lowered it a bit and have brass axle hub extenders on mine, they widened the truck by an inch. I just wish l could overdrive the front axle. Looking forward to more content from you. 🙂
They are cheapo Amazon tires with plastic proline wheels. Nothing fancy, and not super-good performing. Another video coming with updates wheels and tires.
What size tires are those? I got some 150x 60s coming and for the rims HOBBYSOUL Wide 1.57'' (40mm) 2.2 Beadlock Wheels Adjustable 4 Offsets Rims Silver Blue. I just hope 150mm isn’t to tall lol.
Like that set up ! I got one for Christmas and have been modifying it ever since. I like that mod with the pen springs. I may try that. I was going to buy shorter shocks. I like your course. New to crawling and in the process of building a crawler coarse/sct track/bash area. Inherited my father's farm. I am even going to put a 1/18 dirt track and a 1/24 crawler course in the barn. I have a couple of vids on RUclips. You can check out my Everest-10 set up there. Thanks for the video.
@@RoadsideRC Thanks. I put together a 1/24 course in my basement this winter, and it got out of hand in a hurry. I plan on moving the whole thing to the barn. I got the space to go crazy in there. The 1/18 sct track in there will be a little tight, but should work out. I started a larger sct track out back of the barn this last fall. It just might be a little more than my tractor can handle. To build it any way. Might rent a skid steer this spring. Knock it out in one day. I will be posting videos of it all as I go. If you want to check it out? Just started posting videos here on you tube a few days ago. Should be fun.
@@RoadsideRC no doubt about that. This is not the best way to do that and maintain the everest or axial.ax platform as they both operate under the same long travel flex buggy design. Removing travel by putting a shock limiter on and then standing the shocks up vs laid.down which is how this chassis was designed to operate. I'm not talking out my.ass here. Try it if it don't work. Feel free to call me an idiot.
Hello from southeast alaska I'm thinking about getting some shock keys. But I was thinking about trying them pointed towards the motor. Think that would work? I'm going to give it a try.
Redcat Racing (13806) Chassis Plate Pretty sure these are what people are asking about. May be discontinued but there are still a few sets for sale in the wild. His look metal but that is just paint probably. I ordered a set. Painting mine red to go with my red theme.
Unfortunately, with the chassis design it forces it into either Class 3 or Comp truck. Which will make it VERY uncompetitive. See your local rules though - perhaps they have variations on the standard rules at your local events.
@@RoadsideRC oh i don't doubt that last time i was able to get out and do any crawling i was helping a friend with his hobby shops stall at Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam they had a mini course set up

You don't need a lot of flex. I have built many trucks - including some that can twist 90*...and those were the worst performers. Let it flex some, but a low center of gravity really helps a crawler!
It is not my go-to when recommending crawlers to folks. It is VERY capable for the $$$. But my go-to crawlers are the Element Ecto, Redcat Gen8, and Traxxas TRX4 Sport. They are more capable and fun to drive than this truck.
I just purchased the E10 and first thing I wanna do is upgrade the suspension. I also want to upgrade the motor and esc and gears. If anyone could point me in the right direction for theods I need that would be awesome!
@@RoadsideRC I was reading the Amazon reviews and one customer was talking about needing a programming card. Will I need one? If I do how do I set it up.
Trying to understand why you would want to lower ground clearance and flex in a crawler. And only gaining 5 degrees doesn't seem worth it at all. What am I nit understanding
It is all about the center of gravity. With a taller vehicle, you find the truck is constantly flipping over as it attempts to climb things. Getting a truck low helps prevent that. The amount of flex is also important - but more is not necessarily better. You need a truck to have compliance, but also.be able to pull itself up obstacles...instead of flexing around them. Hope that helps!
@@RoadsideRC That makes since. I will give it a try when mine gets here. I will also try it on my Danchee Ridgerock. I am notorious for using spacers. I love the wider stance. Danchee has after market shocks, spacers, servos, and added weight. Still wants to bounce.
@@travishoover636just needs even more weight. I have a trx4 that stays SO much more planted than stock when you’re losing grip. Like a dirt hill, a stock truck bounces all around like a bobble head until you most likely lose control and roll whereas mine bounces like a realistic truck and just GOES. Stays super super planted.

man its been like 2 years since i did all this to my now E10....its in pieces now although it did great but the wheelbase is just to long
Agree.
The Everest 10 is technically a rock bouncer instead of a rock crawler in all honsty, that is why it has a longer wheel base.
is it good for it to sit low like that? you need good flex to crawl dont you?
You don't need a lot of flex.
I have built many trucks - including some that can twist 90*...and those were the worst performers.
Let it flex some, but a low center of gravity really helps a crawler!

It is VERY capable for the $$$. But my go-to crawlers are the Element Ecto, Redcat Gen8, and Traxxas TRX4 Sport. They are more capable and fun to drive than this truck.

Хорошего дня!
