Just don’t have the funds to keep one of every truck in stock form around. Plus I feel like the same points stand with the scx. Stock it needs electronics almost immediately.

I have seen a ton of videos for the new FMS this one was one of the best. How this new FCX24M compares to the rest of the FCX24 line? I want one for homemade indoor crawling and also for our small backyard. I bought 2 WPLs during the lockdown, thrown a tone of money on them and they remained horrible so I sold them. I was thinking to buy the FCX24 Monster truck that comes with open diffs and also in the box has spare locked diffs. The portal axles give advanatage over the straight axles of the M? I don't want to spend money on upgrades. Probably only heavier wheels and tires.

@2fmrc Ай бұрын

Really appreciate that. The fcx24 is definitely more capable than the 24m due to the portals and larger wheels etc. These trail really well but aren’t as capable. Tons of fun but not all out performers. You could go with larger tires but they don’t really fit the body well so I stayed tiny tires with mine lol

@praetor47 Ай бұрын

in the current landscape, i don't get why would anyone buy a SCX24. the only worse trucks are the RC4WD and the V1 Carismas. stock for stock, the FCX24M wipes the floor with it in every way imaginable "but i can upgrade it, bro". yeah. just start buying aftermarket parts straight away. you'll save money and won't end up with a bunch of worthless junk parts. not to mention that thanks to the utter junk electronics in SCX24s (other than the V2) you'll have to spend some serious money to get to the performance of a stock FCX24M, let alone a lightly modded one to optimize the weight "but there's so much more options for the SCX24, bro!". kinda. but not as much as you think. chassis(es) is the main difference here. SCX24 choice dwarfs all the other 24th and 18th scale platforms combined. by A LOT. axles? junk wormgear offers you untunable drag break and junk speed, so it's actually way less versatile and 'diverse' than the competition. a bit more tuning/gearing options, but not significant considering the drawbacks (and weak ass parts unless you want to spend some very, very serious money to get stuff like super8s with dluxfab shafts or whatever). a bit more diversity in width choice in the aftermarket, but whatever shocks? you can make them all work on all platforms with a bit of tinkering so moot point links/wheelbase? similar as above electronics? more straight up 'drop in' choices for the scx24, but again, with tinkering... transmission? depends what you want, so i'll say it's a tie (scx24 for comps, fcx for everything else) bodies... this is where SCX24 dominates. my 0,02€

@ClassicSteelRC Ай бұрын

Excellent video and sweet crawling spot!!! That FCX24M looks like the clear choice winner, in my opinion, too! I have two SCX24s and the motors and servos crapped out on both of them just after the warranties had expired. I ended up getting better, stronger motors and servos on them, and now they're much better than stock. On the other hand, my FMS/Roc Hobby 1/18th scale rig is still an absolute beast with the stock motor and servo!

Scale doesn't mean a lot to me, but one thing that's super important for me at least, is parts support. The Axial has it in spades and it let me build my Bronco exactly how I wanted. I know that FMS is getting it now which makes them more attractive. I have several FMS and Axial vehicles and would probably go so far as to say the FMS line is probably a more for your money type of vehicle. I haven't really changed anything with them, but also didn't really want to after the SCX24 I built.

@JD-tl7ld Ай бұрын

On the Bronco. I forgot to mention that the motor was fine, but I put so much weight in it that the servo wouldn't turn the wheels. It's brushless now, but I never had any problems with the OEM motor.

@Casitascrawlers Ай бұрын

It went pretty much how I thought it would. When you buy a SCX you can expect to replace all the electronics even if not right away it will happen so let’s say you put in a Furitek System in the SCX & nothing more would it then out perform the FMS seems like yes. And the class of mini crawlers is now has 2 classes LCG & trail just like 1:10. At first every mini was a trail rig as these are & there’s no way your making this FMS into a LCG rig but the SCX you could probably get it close even with that body. I’ve only had one SCX I’m not a fan of any of the stock ones. But in completely custom LCG form they are amazing. So do you want a trail rig or LCG is what you should be asking yourself. I don’t know of many that would buy a SCX stock with bodies like this & try & make it a LCG things have gotten so good part wise what you would do is buy everything aftermarket frame rails trans mount skid etc. & make your own custom SCX 24 LCG which to me seems deceiving because there isn’t one part that is a stock Traxxas part so how can it be a SCC24? And if you buy a RTR you would maybe use the trans skid but not much of anything else because you’d probably be getting new metal axles etc. all the other parts would be in a pile. So then you would have a Stock RTR with only the trans & skid left. Bottom line don’t dump a bunch of $ on aftermarket stuff on a RTR like the JLU you want a LCG start from scratch. For me either trail or LCG I prefer 1:18 scale like the M or Evo Pro for LCG.

I’m hoping that with the next 1-2 years the aftermarket for the fms picks up like that aftermarket did for the scx24. I see that being the main downfall of the fcx24m.

@mattb.2359 Ай бұрын

Main issue with the new scx24, including the power wagon, is the switch to Spectrum for the electronics. Immediately out of the box the slow speed control is terrible, and it wines the entire time its being used. And you can get the esc to basically cut out once in a while at fill stuff and trying to turn since its only a 10amp esc and receiver in one. Even throwing in a Injora 66 turn motor helps a little bit, but the electronics still suck. I have a fully upgraded scx 24 that used to have the horizon electronics in it, never heard the esc wine.

I'm not sure if you've seen it, but RCAWD makes a direct drop in two speed for the scx24. I plan on installing one into my scx24 c10. That being said,im also curious if the two speed from the FCX24M wouldn't drop into the scx24. It sure looks as though it would.

@JUSTHAVEFUNRC Ай бұрын

The rcAWD 2 speed kit is a fcx24 transmission and motor with an adapter plate to stick it in a scx24. Make sure you have the extra channel and right switch to use the servo. For the price, I’d look into getting a brushless setup. Or a good esc/motor combo. From what I’ve heard the fcx24m skid should bolt right into a standard pattern scx24 rail.

@2fmrc Ай бұрын

Yeah for me the scx24 has enough gearing options that I prefer to just go brushless and then the 2 speed isn’t really needed. It’ll do it all in one gear!

@GuitarsNAmmo Ай бұрын

To be honest I own 2 SCX24s and each one had the worst steering servo and a flimsy steering linkage and had to change both out as the SCX24 wouldn't turn with any kind of load on it. Now once you upgrade the servo and flimsy steering linkage on the SCX24 they are great, but not before you do that. The FCX24s I own were all great out of the box, no power issues, no servo hesitation just fun to drive. The steering linkages were plastic but not as flimsy as the SCX24. To be fair I did upgrade the FCX24 to metal suspension links and steering link but they weren't necessary. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Axial, I love the SCX10 III CJ7 I have, the SCX24 V2 Gladiator and the SCX24 Power Wagon both had the same issues out of the box, however, they are good looking rigs.
