the worse thing with portals on these is that axial didnt put a throttle reverse on the controller.

Thank you, I appreciate that!

Wouldn't wanna throw shade on any of the other guys. I appreciate all of them. They all have valuable experience and perspectives. But Cape Crawlers presentation style works very well for me personally. Much appreciate the time taken to share thoughts with such a niche audience. This is not the pathway to one million subs, but they do it anyways.

@@kleinbottled79 Thanks for that! I try to make these entertaining and educational. And document my experiences as I learn. It's been a fun ride!

Agreed

Yes. I like builds of other people more, but only cuz they dont go for Such crazy flex and Performance. Others have more realism and scale Details and i really like that.

Thank you, I appreciate that!

Thanks! The LCG and portals are a winning combo!

Thank you! I'm glad yours have been trouble free as well.

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy them!

Satrinella

Awesome, thanks! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

Thanks! I run the crawler innovation lil nova foams in medium compound. The tires are also vented, so it is indeed very squishy

Thank you! It’s a tank 💪🏻

Thanks for watching! You can save 5% with my discount code if you get them directly from rcawd 👍🏻

Ask and you shall receive!

@@CapeCrawlers Heck yeah!!!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I would be hesitant to put them on the bronco because they raise the COG so much. I wont be putting portals on our bronco for that very reason.

The axles on all SCX24’s are the same so the portals will fit the Bronco.

I appreciate the kind words! In this video I am running the Injora stamped steel beadlock wheels and LGRP trail king tires.

@@CapeCrawlers Anytime Adam your the best. I have been building a cliffhanger similar to your comp build but with abit of my own flavour on top of your fillings or so to speak

I dig them!

Thanks for watching! I think if you countered the higher chassis height from the portals by taking the springs out of the shock and/or running a forced droop setup it would work. I personally haven’t felt the need for portals on the AX because the wheelbase is relatively short and the tires are tall, so I don’t feel like it gets hung up that bad

Awesome! I hope you dig them as much as I do, and I hope you used my code and saved some money!

@@CapeCrawlers I did

Thanks for the support! I have not put the FMS portals on a SCX yet, but I will at some point! They are so inexpensive and now that metal gears and brass add-ons are available, I am more enthusiastic about the conversion!

@@CapeCrawlers man I would appreciate that video and the in depth work arounds you run into!

Thanks! These are coda racing 10.4g hubs. I got them on Amazon.

@@CapeCrawlers ahh okay sweet thankyou! do you mind telling me the specs on the wheels as well lol i love your build and hope you dont mind me copying it lol

Great question and I should have addressed that in the video. The V2 electronics allow you to reverse the channel right on the transmitter, so I didn’t have to do anything with the wires. That’s a plus for those with the V2 system.

I also have a 4ws scx24 , what do you mean by reverse rotation?

@@armandoberoi In case you haven't got an answer yet: The extra gear inside the portal causes the wheels to rotate in reverse of the regular direction. IE. Pull the trigger for forward, now the wheels spin in reverse and visa versa. Some have a switch on their remote to change polarity on the power going to the motor, making it turn in reverse of "normal", therefore making the portals turn forward for forward/pulling the trigger on the remote. Without that, one has to reverse the wires feeding the motor to change it's direction of rotation. Clear as mud? :)

Hey Kevin! I am running high clearance links and Injora steel driveshafts. I converted it over to brushless earlier this year and they’ve held up well. I also went with steel transmission gears to shore up the entire drive train.

I’ve only broken one thankfully. You may need to upgrade to the LGRP portals!

In the back? You need a stock upper linkage mount from the straight axle housings

Maybe. My issue is space. I have a small yard and not many places to crawl close by. I like the 1/24’s because I can setup challenging courses in very little space and transport them easy. I do love that 1/10 gladiator though…

Ohhhh I am very interested to hear how this works out!

@@CapeCrawlers yah 25 dollars for set bang for the buck

Yes, and I think that comes standard on the axles now as if a few weeks ago.

@@CapeCrawlers yes that’s correct my new set came with them pre installed! They caught on thank god!

@@CapeCrawlers i ordered my set in the middle of june. Do u think they have the upgraded shafts?

@@therealteja yes, they should. They were making the switch back when I first got them, which was around 2 months ago now. You should be all set

That’s a good question. I didn’t overdrive them, but from what I understand they use the same internals as a stock axle, so you should be able to overdrive them like the stock axles.

Thanks for watching and I’m so glad you enjoy the videos! The wheels and tires would fit with some significant body trimming. I found with the c10 to really unlock its articulation potential, you need to trim the body. Even more so if you put these big tires on. They are Little Guy Racing Parts trail king tires; the biggest you can get for the 1:24’s 👍🏻

@@CapeCrawlers and you’re running innovation rc foams right?

@@therealteja yes that’s right. I run medium compound in the gladiator and soft in all my other rigs.

On the V2 electronics there is a switch to reverse the throttle direction. V1 is a little more challenging.

They are super wide

Thats a good question. Base on their design, I think yes, because the portal lowers the axle stub quite a bit, which would make room between the fenders and the tires.

@@CapeCrawlers ok thank you

Yes, pretty significantly. I had to counter that with some creative shock placement and flex extensions.

@@CapeCrawlers thank you

Living the dream!

Thanks bro. I'm going to start my upgrades on my gladiator today. I had to wait until I got Esc/Rx for it. Only one I could get was a V1 witch is ok. But I don't have a transmitter. So I had to bind a panda hobby transmitter. It runs but don't really like the set up.

I agree

Man of steel!
