You're such a daredevil. Be careful with those Micro Crawlers. They can cause grown men to get competitive and angry, sometimes to pee their pants. lol

@alantaylor353 Год назад

Absolutely... Peeing pants is definitely a thing... Or errrr.. So I've been told.

My brother is interested in crawlers. After this video, it's definitely got me thinking about getting one. I quite like the body that you did not use. My other brother is giving me a VW Bug and some other RC cars. I plan to restore them one at a time.

@TomleyRC Год назад

No worries Paul, see you in March 👌

@TheShopMiniRC Год назад

You likely have smaller gears in the front portals (12t?) and that is giving your front wheels overdrive. That is generally a desirable setup for comp crawling. It helps give you better turn radius and pulls the front up and over while also sucking your chassis down-ward. ;-)

@adampsrcs3487 Год назад

Grit sand from any building yard..when it's dried out it's the perfect stuff in my opinion 👍great little truck mate

@modelnutty6503 Год назад

old model railroading days, used coffee grounds glued down makes some good dirt surface, wet with wood glue and pack it with dry grounds, let dry and brush away excess. leave bare, paint, or clear coat?

Yes, I’ve got ‘sharp sand’… similar

@adventurefixn Год назад

As far as the sand on your mini course. Mix a thin watery slurry of “mod podge” and paint it onto the plaster cloth then sprinkle sand onto it and rewet and slosh around with wet brush painting with sand and it will dry to a perfect sandpaper sandstone texture!

@TomleyRC Год назад

I’ve mixed some sharp sand with PVA glue, works a treat

@nic.25 Год назад

My max smasher has stripped it's plastic steering servo horn where it's attached to the servo, so I'm now looking for a metal servo horn to fix that problem. Otherwise very good truck.

1/24 crawlers are most likely the only size crawlers I would be really curious of. Mainly because building tracks for them could be done inside the house. Thou I know what kind of looks I would get...and how that money would have.....should...yeah. But...some day....

couple years ago picked up a couple pre-painted poly truck bodies for Subotech 1/24 from BangBad for about 4 bucks each. nice detail light weight and convenient. one is on the Redcat Sumo 1/24 with wide offset "Dominator"(?) rims and same mud slinger tires. being AWS its a little extra fun sometimes with rear steer and crab options.

@Kettenhund75 Год назад

I'm on the fence when it comes to picking one of these up. They don't seem to flex much at all. The portals seem to really push the center of gravity up. I know I'm a little biased, but I think you would have done much better with the scx.

@TomleyRC Год назад

The SCX24 certainly has more potential. But mine needs properly setting up. These FMS ones are really good once set up properly

@Kettenhund75 Год назад

@Tomley RC I need to go back and watch your scx24 upgrade video again. I don't remember what all you did to it. You already did the furitek brushless upgrade - that's the best upgrade you could do. You need some mofo rc ultra soft springs and 4 link the front. Then as m7ch brass as you can fit down low. I k ow you said you've spent $5-600... I assume you've done everything but the springs.

So, I have been hoping they would come out with a kit version of 1/24 scale crawler because I have probably 80 1/24-1/25 scale plastic model cars. I have enough electronics to set one up, just haven't jumped into that world yet.(only have 6 1/10 crawlers, basher slash 4x4, 2wd stampede, drag slash, custom metal frame smt10, 2 drifter's, boat, plane, mini battle bots.....

@jayfarthing Год назад

Can confirm the newer revision FCX24s come with the metal portal gears fitted. I bought one from Modelsport at the end of December, metal ports and the less good V2 transmitter. Still plenty of fun to drive though. The drive issue with the slack, I've got that both front and rear. Seems to just be play between all the gears, hexes, driveshafts etc. I'd love to know if there was a way to stop it. My car rolls back and forth maybe 20mm before the dragbrake/gearing engages and stops it rolling further. Great vid as always. I need to try out one of these competitions!

@shakes00lude Год назад

My son and I make our mini crawler courses out of wood (cheap cedar fence planks) and we just slather the face of the wood with wood glue and dust some rocky gravel over it. We live in the desert so we use decomposed granite. It works amazingly and holds up really well. You.can use play sand but it just makes sandpaper and there's nothing that loses grip on that.

@TomleyRC Год назад

Yes, I’ve done that now. PVA glue with a little sharp sand

@cornfieldcrawlers9907 Год назад

Looks like a fun comp. I am wondering why you ran 3 tires backwards? Mud slingers are good, they are even better when custom cut. Basically there are big lugs with lines, small lugs with lines, and small lugs without lines. Use some wire side cuts to clip off all the small lugs without lines. The tight stock slinger tread pattern can sit on top of the terrain spinning. The more open pattern of custom cut slingers seems to grab better on both rock and loose soils. I would also highly suggest Treal brass portal covers for some low weight.

@TomleyRC Год назад

I hadn’t realised they were directional at first, but the more I watch the more I can see it 😅. Thanks for the tip.. I’ll give it a try

@davideades4839 Год назад

Your truck looks great. Thats a very cool modular portable course too. You own course is coming along. Get some cheap acrylic artist paints and dilute it so you can do colour washes. I save my coffee grounds and use white glue to hold it on. Also concrete powder sifted over white glue, dirt sand. It may scrup off as it would on a real course so you just reaply colour or dry materials as needed.
