Part 3 of the brushless conversion series! In this video I make a quick pivot and throw the brushless motor in the axial scx24 deadbolt. This motor combined with the already extremely capable deadbolt could be the best combo ever. Just how good is it? Watch and find out! I loaded this video with lots of good run footage. Enjoy!

That is pretty much amazing. I simply have to do this to my deadbolt. Love your series and dedication to the scx24 line.

Wow Adam, the Deadbolt just goes over anything! So cool with smp motor, so much control. I totally see the benefits of brushless. But clearly it can break things even if you are careful. Still I think it's awesome! Thanks for another great video Adam, take care!!!

@CapeCrawlers 2 жыл бұрын

It is an epic crawler! I need to sort out the front end a bit and I’m not super satisfied with the battery location, but I’ll keep tinkering. It will definitely break things with ease! I have to change my driving style for sure!

Very nice! Got me thinkin about brushless now, thanks bud! Cheers

Love the brushless! It’s a huge quantum leap on performance! It is a pain the get the chassis sorted out though. I feel like I’m bake to ground zero chassis wise with the deadbolt, but I guess that keeps me busy!

That is sweet! Might need to pull back my comment on going brushless vs a Deadbolt. Both seems like a much better option!

Haha! The deadbolt really shines with the extra torque and control. It just elevates it to another level.

Another awesome video Bud 👍🏻👍🏻. I’ve never been a fan of the Deadbolt cos i dont like the look of the body but really considering buying one now after seeing how Snaggle Tooth looks 😍😍, i love it. Just ordered the Mofo UAF chassis after seeing it on your rig, i love the way its set out with the battery tray location and how many options it has for shock locations. I’m mega pleased i stumbled across ur channel Adam cos i cant stop watching it. Going from very first of your videos all the way to latest and i’m enjoying every minute of it, its a SCX24 fans dream channel and cant wait for next one already 🤙🏻❤️🤙🏻👍🏻

I love it man!!!!! Keep on doing what you’re doing brother, your builds and videos have really helped me with well performing setups! 👍 Love seeing new updates come out from you! Question regarding tires for you. Do you trim your foams down before installing them, or are you running one complete foam per tire?

@CapeCrawlers 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I’ll keep the content coming! I run the crawler innovation foams for the most part and I don’t trim those. If I run generic foams, I will trim them

That works, and sounds a lot better than the Stinger (mine at least). I don't think the Stinger will be any gentler on your parts either.

The stinger is noisy! This SMP is virtually silent. I definitely need to adjust my driving style with these new motors!

@jamesmcnamara7484 Жыл бұрын

I would like to learn more about matching power requirements ie motor/ESC/batt/servos. What are the pitfalls I need to look out for so I don’t fry a bunch of expensive bits.

@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын

Oh boy, I could make an entire video on that. I always try to look at where the weak link in the chain will be and reverse engineer from there. For example: brushless system will create huge torque and stress on the drive train. So before I install the brushless motor fortify the driveshafts and transmission with metal components. Now with those solid, can your axles take the stress? Probably not if they're stock, so consider hardened steel upgraded units. For batteries, 2S batteries are fine for virtually all applications. 3S is possible if you have an aftermarket ESC. Servos like the Emax, EcoPower, etc. are pretty easy bolt on solutions and can work with a modified stock tray. But its better to get an aftermarket servo mount. Bigger, stronger servos will need more mods/different trays to fit. I could go on and on, but the reverse engineering approach is universal.
