It’s come a very long way! I took it out on the rocks today and it did even better in real world conditions. Really impressive what it could do.

Thanks!

You got it my friend

Thanks! I’ve heard of quality control issues with the brass rings where some sets just don’t fit properly. I wonder if I just got a bad set? I had zero issues with the set on the gladiator. I’m happy with them either way!

The bronco is the ultimate underdog story, taking on mini Moab like a champ! 🎥 🤣Thanks for watching!

You won’t like the next part of the build then 😅 I ditched it in my latest round of upgrades. I miss it already!

@@CapeCrawlers I love the way it looks with it. I’m determined to keep it haha.

I’m sure the lighter body without the spare tire will make all the difference!..

Oh dude, I dunno if I got a bad set or what, but this was so difficult. I have these rings in other wheels and have no issues but this was rough.

I appreciate you!

What Furitek motor are you running? I am going to go brushless on the gladiator soon and that has the same LCG kit as the bronco. It will be interesting to see how I can squeeze it all in there...

@@CapeCrawlers I have both of their brushless. I started with the micro and it does a great job. I wanted to go to all metal transmission along with the spur gear. I found that the micro pinion is welded to the shaft on the motor and unable to change the gear. All the spur gears I found were plastic for the micro. So I bought their Kamoto that has the upgrade available. It is a beast and super smooth. The lizard pro esc will support both motors so the cost wasn't to bad the second time around. But either one of their motors are strong and smooth

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Yes, that foam setup is one of my favorites. My favorite is the crawler innovation soft foams, but the smaller foams like your describe is a close second.

I've heard good things about the Holmes motors. Never tried them personally though.

@@CapeCrawlers ya we shall see

It’s a bargain for what you gain. Plus you keep the ability to add bumpers, rock sliders, etc.

Thank you! It has come a looooong way from where we started. I've solved those throttle issues by changing the batteries in the remote. I've experienced the servo shorting out the esc also causing those issues too. Hopefully its easy fix on yours.

Thanks for following along! The wrangler tires I have now arent much bigger than stock and I dont think I could fit any bigger either. Not without trimming the body, which I dont want to do. I suppose with more width it could clear the fenders, but that would ruin the scale look I think. I may try throwing some scramblers on just for the heck of it.

@@CapeCrawlers I just installed the injora m/t and they are far too big. I also have rock tilted tyre super swappers but they are the same size as stock. Do you have any suggestions of tires that fit well that are bigger then stock or should I go back to the super swampers

I loop them around the linkage behind the servo and up around the body mounts. I will explore it further in another video.

Thank you, I appreciate that! I plan to do an indoor course build video soon. I use a combination of plaster sheets and spray foam insulation. But I'll do a video soon!

Thanks! It has been a fun project!

What do you use for a limiting strap?

I use the sheeth/housing from lead core fishing line it’s then a hollow tube of braided nylon. I drilled a tiny hole in the center front of my esc tray and use a pivot ball between the two links on the servo tray and viola. It works great. It’s in the center do everything works just the way it should.

@@CapeCrawlers I tie it into a loop. From pivot ball to the hole in the esc tray. I used to just go up to body mounts but not as clean as to the esc tray.

Thanks! And yes, it has 23% overdrive gears in it currently. I honestly didnt see a huge improvement in the Bronco after install. I did put them in my JLU at the same time and it made a HUGE difference on that rig.

@@CapeCrawlers Was that in both diffs or just the front? Sorry I have only seen a couple of your videos theses lil 24's are new to me but they are so awesome! Crazy it made a big difference in one rig and not the other, but even if you have two built exactly the same they won't act the same! So yeah go figure Lol! Thanks!

@@mikesrcgarage just the front. The JLU is much more balanced weight wise than the bronco. It’s not super surprising to me I didn’t see the same gains in the bronco. Trial and error is part of the fun!

@@CapeCrawlers So true! Have a great night and happy RC'ing!

Thanks for watching! I think you can use the series as a guide, but I would explore upgrade options based on what you want to do, and enjoy doing with your build. The best thing about the SCX24 is the option to personalize and customize. Take advantage of that and build your perfect rig. There are some baseline mods that are universal, and I detail them here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLV_qa6frJORenk.html

Thank you so much I’ll watch and start doing my own personal build. I just started building my own indoor course on a 6ft x 4ft base that I have in my garage. !!!

@@CapeCrawlers I will most definitely! I love the channel please keep the awesome videos coming as well !

Patience or stubbornness, it could go either way. I wasn’t going to let them get the best of me 🤣

It's ~520g right now

@@CapeCrawlers oops sorry I meant how top heavy is it. I know stock they roll over ALOT

@@steveng_rc Oh! LOL it's not that top heavy anymore. In stock form it was extremely top heavy. It's quite planted now.

@@CapeCrawlers nice!

@@nunocarneiro464 that’s what I was thinking to get over hells gate it has to much weight in the rear I think if he took the hex extensions in the rear out and swapped it out for a lighter one I think it would get over no problem

It took some work to clear and I still have some issues. I had to trim the ears of the servo and the rear of the bumper mounts. It clears 95% now I would say.

Yes. I use a variety of batteries, from 900mah to 450’s and they all fit.

@@CapeCrawlers perfect thank you.

The multi-holed ones on the chassis? If that's what you mean, they came from Grizzly Works RC. They're part of the LCG kit.

Okay. I haven’t jumped into the chassis market yet Just built a sick deadbolt. Need to put some hours on it. Shock locations are a pain on the stock chassis
