*You likely won't see this Matt, but for anyone else: If, like me, you end up with a gaggle of Allen wrenches from various sources. One thing to make them more useful in awkward spots like this is to cut the 90 deg. bend out of them and make handles for the two straight pieces. Just drill a hole in a hardwood dowel or aluminum rod that will be a light press fit for the size Allen wrench you have. Little drop of glue/epoxy and press the Allen wrench into the hole. Machine the handle into whatever shape, size and/or length you need for your hands or use. The short cut piece can be kept short for higher torque needs and the longer piece for lower torque, but longer reach situations. Mark the size on the handle. Go basic or get fancy.

@FlailinMonkey Жыл бұрын

Great Video as usual, I like the looks of this kit and think it's pretty awesome it comes with the metal extended driveshaft as well. I already have the McCue links on my power wagon, but might upgrade to some aluminum in the future. There is always a chance my power wagon may become a second MT after Christmas and I see for myself how much fun the Smasher is to run. Have you ran any of your trucks with extended links as a MT and maybe tried using a 1/18 body? That RockVan body would make for an interesting looking MT.

@TR850 Жыл бұрын

Nice! This is exactly what I was waiting for all the time. But now I just ordered the McCue links and longer driveshaft separately. Actually the price seems very attractive considering that the driveshaft is included already. But now I will not buy these. Few days ago I would have placed an order immediately!

Yeah the McCue links are the same way. I have installed them flipped for higher clearance but you kinda have to trim the chassis or the link because they hit one another.

@mikemontgomery1970 Жыл бұрын

I have always been of the belief that too much flex is absolutely a bad deal when trailing and especially crawling. As it allows for the wheels to drop excessively downwards into a gap or hole in the rock or on a ledge gap which allows the rc vehicle to flip off or be ome caught up and bind up which can cause stress and damage to the rc vehicle. I like a decent amount of flexibility in my crawlers. But I want the suspension to carry the wheel over a gap or hole in the terrain features and keep it from being flipped over by too much flexibility.

@2fmrc Жыл бұрын

I totally agree. That’s why you don’t see any of my rigs flexing out like some peoples. I watch videos and see pics all the time of people showing all that flex and I just laugh because I can imagine those rigs flopping around like a dead fish on the rocks 😆

man i love your videos and how you go in details to help some of the new ones to the hobby just like me. i just got the rustic wine one after seeing the pumpkin one that you have but it was out of stock. i think the red rustic still look cool. but i was wondering if the body bed would still fit with the extended links? and would go with these or treal links for it and some other parts like shocks and all in general.

@derrickwilliams2903 Жыл бұрын

Great video! I like the idea of an all-inclusive kit, but 35mm is too much of a stretch. IMO, up to 20mm is a good length and avoids some of the negative aspects of a long wheelbase truck (reduced breakover angle, increased turning radius).

@MrsRabbit8 27 күн бұрын

I want some for the scx24, but the Mofo version is not extended it seems. I've got a rig that needs some extending. Also the mofos look like they will get snagged on the shock mount that sticks out of the side of the trailing arm. These are definitely long, but maybe too long. Lol 35mm is a lot longer, and i would probably need new drive shaft.

@lafaina79 Жыл бұрын

@mikemontgomery1970 Жыл бұрын

This rcawd rear suspension extension is ok. But I don't see why everyone is extending the rear suspension to make it longer. I have sat the fcx24 next to my scx24 vehicles and for the most part the fcx24 is the same length as the scx24 trucks. Not the gladiator which is obviously longer than the rest of the scx24 vehicles. Doesn't a longer wheel base cause more issues than the stock wheelbase? Unless you are hill climbing all the time a standard length wheelbase runs more consistent and has a better break over angle. Which is beneficial for Better crawling and trailing running. But that's what I have experienced personally with rc crawlers and trail rigs.

I’d put oil in them and run them. They are pretty good shocks with oil in them. Not sure there is much better unless you go with a much bigger body shock like the losi mini ts or Traxxas Trx4m shocks.

I'd be tempted to put those in a vise and just tweak them a bit, into an "S" bend so the ball ends are more perpendicular to the mounting screws. I'm guessing this would be better. Anyone done this?

Well, I received my FCX24 yesterday only to find the instructions tell you nothing save for how to assemble the pat for the back, and when I got it charged I turned it on only to see the red light come on and nothing else. So it looks like it is only good for collecting dust on my shelf. Very disappointed.
