Axial AX24 - First Five Upgrades for BIG Performance GAINS!!

Рет қаралды 48,039

Жыл бұрын

In this video I go over my first five mods for the Axial AX24 XC-1! The primary goal of these initial upgrades is to lower the center of gravity, improve stability and climbing, and improve steering strength and precision. I also throw in a couple of bonus mods to further boost performance. The full parts list with links to the products is in the description below!

The mods made a big difference. I picked one up yesterday from my local. I haven't driven it yet, this will be my first 4ws rig. I did pull a few parts out of my bin to put on after the first run. I think the brass skid plate really help eliminate the bounce from the shocks, nice!!!🤘🤘🤘 For myself, the servos are the last thing I swap out. I run them till they break. On 7 of my 12 24's they still have the stockers. Yea there are stronger ones but the stock one work.

It was kinda like the UTB18. Everyone was confused and put off by the initial thought of it. But as soon as you get some time with one, the opinion changes pretty quick.

@exlewisrc3674 Жыл бұрын

The main reason I saw was bc of the lack of upgraded parts it’s the same “stock” parts that crap out under very limited stress quickly(ie same servo, transmission, etc). Also the lack of mobility with the electronic layout and the lack of LCG. I don’t personally have one and I personally wouldn’t mind owning one the way it sits But allot of the Axial followers I think were expecting a bit more and they were let down. Im currently building a spare parts 4ws truck right now and I’m only in it $24. IMO I would love to try one before I say anything but everyone’s opinion will be different upon preference

@shawnfunk2895 Жыл бұрын

thanks for breaking ground with some of these mods on this new platform. Your video alleviated my concerns about installing a bigger motor. I am just starting the mod journey for the AX myself, but am having trouble finding servo mounts. It looks like the AX servo mount spreads the upper links a little further apart than that on the SCX. Using an older SCX mount seems like it would mount the links a little closer together, effectively shortening the distance from chassis to axle for the upper links and adding a slight amount of caster. It doubt it would cause any driveshaft binding, but you might want to look at that if you think binding might be reducing the throttle "smoothness"

@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын

Omg you’re a genius. I’ve still been chasing that binding issue and I wonder if that’s exactly what the root cause is. The aftermarket servo tray does pinch the links closer together by ~2mm I bet. The binding only happens when I turn the wheel, and to one side primarily. But perhaps that could still be the issue?

Awesome video man, it is now behaving exactly like I expected it would. I think as you stated there are much more budget friendly options to achieve the same end result. I question the need for that carbon fiber chassis but it sure does look cool =). I also wonder if the 66t Injora would have smoothed the throttle response out a bit, seems a little jumpy. It might just be the limitation of that ESC because it feels jumpy out of the box as well. The 66t while not quite as torquey, is smoother. Great build I am waiting on my parts to come in to start my build as well. Did you use the standard servo trays that come with the Injora kit, even thought they do not have the slots for the links? great content bud!

@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I did use the standard servo tray and the links threaded in perfectly on the outside of the tray, just like the four link conversion on the SCX24. I think you're right about the 66t. I may swap this out for my LGRP Reaper motor as that is super smooth. I also feel like something is binding and contributing to the jumpiness, but I can't pinpoint it. Let the tinkering begin!

I was chasing a binding issue which turned out to be the ESC and that's why I swapped the trays. Anyway, you thread a screw through the linkage into the outside of the servo tray, so one link on each outer part of the traditional linkage mount if that makes sense.

@@CapeCrawlers I ended up upgrading the entire thing due to a broken bolt into the plastic steering linkage. So I have an upgraded servo, with an aluminum horn, brass steering linkage and then the brass knuckles. When I back up the screws a little bit on the knuckles, it also gives them an up/down and side/side wiggle off of the axel housing. I believe that's the source of the slop as everything else feels tight.

Budget build would be really cool and then they can face off with each other just throw some cheap injora parts at it and maybe do a sub 150 dollar build. Those negative offset wheels and 64 mm tires would look really gnarly on this thing and cheaper than the little guy racing parts

Out of the box the ax is so much more capable than an scx or fcx but when you fully upgrade an scx or fcx or ax they end up the same. Tiny comp chassis' already exist. We been running independent 4ws forever. Long travel shocks have been out for ages. Also remember the "new" ax stills runs a complete scx drive train. Unfortunately it also still runs those horrible electronics. If your new to the 24 game go for it grab an ax. But for me and many others its nothing new and current comp rigs will destroy it. This is why many say "we wanted more" and if not more give us something different. 7.5/10👍🤠👍

Can't argue with your logic. I'm finding this with the TRX4M. The more you modify it, the more it becomes more of the same. That's not a bad thing, as the process is always fun, but all roads seem to lead to the same destination with these.

I've been looking at these for a week or so, watching videos. Realizing that they are only rc cars but axial needs to rethink the geometry of the links. It has a problem with push off and it lifts the left front on climbs as well as the anti squat are all off. If they got a 4link calculator it would only help how it performs...

@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын

I will give you my subjective opinion and that is that building a rig from a stock SCX24 is my preferred approach. Only because I (personally) love the process of incrementally upgrading a vehicle. I find it so gratifying and rewarding to see the progress as you modify. The Cayman, although it is a performance bargain, kinda takes the fun out of the build in my opinion.

@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын

I don't know a whole lot about these transmitters, but I can see that the DX5C uses DSMR technology where the SLT2 transmitter that comes with the AX24 uses SLT technology, as does the stock receiver/esc. I don't think the stock rx/esc combo is compatible with the DSMR tech. But, like I said, I am no expert.

@@CapeCrawlers ok. I didn't realize that. I will check to see if there is a brushless conversion that will allow my transmitter. I want to go brushless anyway.

I used an aluminum SCX24 tray from Amazon, but I have since gone back to the stock trays. For the SCX24 tray, I just threaded the AX24 links to the outside of the linkage mounts and that worked for the four link. But, it's closer together than stock, and I think that may have been causing some binding, so I switched back to stock.
