Mine has been struggling to get the back tires spinning whenever there's remotely any pressure put on them so I plan to follow this series and hope that the problem gets fixed along the way. Love what you've done with the truck
I appreciate the comment and your interest in the series. You will not be let down if you do what I did. I have filled the box with rocks to the point that the truck had no suspension left and that did not even hold it back. If you have any questions , don't hesitate to ask.
@@rccustomcreations I bought the gears and I have added a bunch of stuff to my cart from your series and I'm going to order it and follow it through I really appreciate the response bro My grandpa bought The same truck as me and we're going to build them so you're serious is really great for us to follow along together
@pineappleking8075 that is epic that your grandpa is getting involved as well. I'm not sure if you are on facebook or not , if you are i am also located on facebook at facebook.com/groups/327053233316821/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT Follow me on there and send a private message on there to me . Feel free to post progress picts of rc on that site. Leave a comment with your youtube channel name . I do send out sticker packets to random followers that follow both my youtube and facebook pages
Bulletproof, rock solid 1/18 scale K10 Chevy pickup. Nice upgrades man. Just picked one of them off Amazon should be here Friday. I plan on doing the exact same upgrades but I'm new to RC and wasn't sure what would work or where to go. i do own a 77 K10 Sierra Classic that is a work in progress. I plan on making he RC look exactly like the real one. Thanks for the info and getting me started in the right direction.
I appreciate your time watching my content and checking out the channel. Please be advised that the most current video in this series is the most up to Date as to what works and what does not. You will be tempted by cheap prices but don't be fooled like I was. When it comes down to this truck. You really do get what you pay for. If you have any questions. Please do ask them and I'll do my best to point you to the right direction. I have wasted so much money on this platform then my wife wants to know about...
Just ordered mine today. Should be here by the end of the week. Looking forward to getting started and making some nice upgrades done right the 1st time with the right parts.
Thank you for leaving a comment and taking the time to check out my channel. Please view my part 6 video for the most up to date what works or does not... This truck is a beast for upgrading and I have spent way to much on parts that will require mods to make work.
So I bought an Easy Rc glacier, I just ordered some metal diff gears, that supposedly fit (for FMS 1/18 FJ) I was wondering if all the parts are interchangeable between the EasyRc truck and that FMS one, such as the shocks you have there. Your setup looks awesome by the way, I might get a redcat gen 8 soon but i'm starting small
Thank you for taking the time to check out my content. The glacier and the fms k10 are identical with the exception of licensing for the chevy body used on the k10. The glacier may use some plastic components where the fms k10 uses metal ( that i am not sure ) as for parts swapping, there from the pictures of the easyrc glacier and comparing the two , i beleive all parts are compatible with one another 😉. Thanyou for the comment about my build, its been a love hate build . Mainly because of the amount i have spent on incompatible parts ,hoping that i could modify them. My goal is not to modify the chassis or body wich made things more challenging. If you havent subscribed then please feel free to do so . There is a set parts on there way to me that you will want lol im keeping what it is a secret untill i know for sure that they will work. Hope to see more of your comments and questions . Cheers bud 👍
I meant to include un my first comment, i am on facebook also under RC CUSTOM CREATIONS. feel free to check me out there too and if you want to do comparison photos for parts interchangeability purposes. I would be interested in doing that too
Im going to start by suggesting you take a look at the following video about this build. ruclips.net/video/xMsDQjBhHto/видео.htmlsi=VCgYyCeTA5nxTAWY This video is the final video to this build series and in the description, you will find links to every component i used to get the final build the way it is. This truck was not really targeted by parts suppliers to upgrade, so no, you can not buy complete kits . The 4 link suspension is a combination of parts purchased separately put together . Alli express and banggood are both great spots to buy most of the components used in this truck. Amazon and ebay for the remainder. The links are made using the following components... 8 x m2 aluminum rod ends 8 sections of m2 threaded rod ( buy it in 12 inch lengths and cut to desired size with a dremel tool or hack saw) 8 sections of M4 seamless stainless tube ( bought in 12 inch lengths and cut to size with a 1/2 inch pipe cutter , dremel tool will work as well) Some heat shrink tubing is also required . This next video link includes a section that shows how i assembled the links ruclips.net/video/09RuY9zqMb8/видео.htmlsi=JRJwVI8DQXB51lMm Please feel free to ask any other questions and if you have not subscribed, and wish to see more build content ...please feel free to subscribe to the channel and share my content . Thank you for your comments and your time checking out my channel
@@rccustomcreations wow, thank you for this detailed answer! I will follow your channel, and you arch the videos as soon as I have time! Best build I have found on RUclips so far!
One more note i failed to include about the links. You can not buy a complete set that is made to fit these k10 trucks. The front links are the only links available in pre fabricated components. The rear end of these trucks is too long for any aftermarket links to fit without drilling holes in your frames
FCX24 links work? I have ordered way too many link sets for other trucks that do not work that I have lost hope in finding a quality set that fits and functions properly... I'll re-visit this one last time with the home made tube style links and after that I'm done lol... Do you have a link to offer for a set that has been proven to fit and function properly. I appreciate your comment and will sub to your channel for doing so... Thank you
I can't recall for sure, but I think rcawd made extended rear links for the scx24 and even those wouldn't work without modifications to the chassis. Can't recall if they were too short or if they would have required an additional center trans mount installed behind the first one with modification.... Long story short, I ha e ordered several sets of links with no good direct bolt on for the rear. Lots work for the front end. This is why I decided to do custom tube links
Thank you for taking the time to view my content, and leaving a comment. I'm not sure but feel like I have done a video that has touched on your comment topic. My Transmission has the upgraded steel gears installed. And warned others about the truck fms did to make it look as if there was a steel gear set installed if I recall only the out put shaft was metal and all the gears including the gear on the output shaft are plastic.

Looks very good, where did you buy all the suspension parts and how much where they all together? Can you order them all on one website?

@@rccustomcreations yes the fcx 24 links work im not sure on the back of your c10
Your right about the front. Hit the rear is longer on the k10.
@@rccustomcreations what about the fms Apache rear links?

This truck will not be bullet proof if you don't put metal differential gears in the diff because they come with plastic gears that break really easy
