Installing ALL the SAMIX metal upgrades on my Jeep SCX10.3!

Back to the bench with my SCX10.3! This week, I installed a ton of awesome metal upgrades from SAMIX. I know there's some ongoing debate about whether you should add weight to your RC crawler, but this time I went full bling and installed pretty much every one of SAMIX's metal hop-ups: Aluminum shock towers, brass portal weights, steering knuckles, diff covers, shock caps and high clearance links. I think they look super mean! My rig now weights 9.24lbs (4.19 kg)!!
Huge thanks to SAMIX for letting me try out all their option parts for my Jeep!

Samix brass 8mm wheel hexs helped my scx10-ii's center of gravity greatly!

@andrewrichey7374 3 года назад

Yeah looks beautiful artsy girl, love the brake disc rotors looks awesome appreciate you sharing I’ll be watching for more videos

@DetoursRC 3 года назад

I love it when people go METAL🤘.

@supadeluxe 3 года назад

Great video and thank you for showing both metric/imperial weights. I like the look of the Samix stuff and good to know it is a good fit too.

@jdsrcs8061 3 года назад

Pretty cool set up. I do like seeing others set up their rigs, million ways to skin a cat. On my Trx4's I have outer brass portal covers and that's it. Both perform outstanding. I haven't done anything to my 21 Bronco yet, and not sure if I'm going to. I think you need to start a new series like Harley Design. He has the Trx4000 and you can build the Scx10 3000!!!🤘🤘🤘 Samix does make some great stuff.

@mattiasrc 3 года назад

Looks like some good quality parts with a nice fit.

@mikeyboy7087 3 года назад

Just fitted Samix brass portals and fake rotors to my 2021 bronco trx-4, really nice quality parts, like how they are one piece though the axial👌🏻

I recently got into Samix RC on my last crawler build, good stuff, just picked up a rear axle weight set for the Element Enduro that works great.

@boldrbangr9834 3 года назад

Great job! Love the look of the scale rotors, but not the additional offset. I'm not big on adding a lot of weight to my rigs, but the quality of the Samix parts is excellent. Wish they would offer the parts in aluminum.

@MikeRCWorld 3 года назад

Really cool upgrade, my trx-4 defender is 6,5 Kg i also have lots of addons. Great video 👍👏😎🎥

@roblowrie1969 3 года назад

I've started to add some weights to my scx24, but I've not added anything to my TRX4 Sport at all. I was staggered at how much heavier the TRX is, compared to my friends Gmade Buffalo!! He definitely needs some of this!! 😎👍🏻

Glad to see your doing better babe, I know it was hard but glad your getting back in the hobby since our break up.

@stevenf0 3 года назад

That is one sweet rig. As far as weight distibution goes, I add a ton of low metal to keep my trucks planted but I always add a large battery and a little extra weight to the chassis to get that realistic body roll. And an aluminum rim is the most rotating mass I'll add.

@domirc5474 3 года назад

Another cool upgrads my friend , I realy like the look , the result is top ! well done 😃😉👍

@joesmith4222 3 года назад

@KenMrKLC Год назад

I picked up the rear shock mounts any really happy with them, I wanted the front first to replace the link brace that is a weak point but my local shop didn't have in stock. Will be getting it soon for sure though. Nice looking rig you got there

@gwpattrick 3 года назад

Yup just put HR racing ultimate brass weight on my trx 4 tactical. And brass covers on the back portal covers. And a sound module too. The servo is next. Double click on the like button.

@brokennib1 3 года назад

Very cool! Those parts look great! That is a lot of weight though! Thanks for mentioning upgrading the servo, a lot of these video's skip that detail though. I would recommend some thing "high voltage" like a Reef's 777 like I have in mine, but there are tons out there now for 60-100 bucks. I'm sorry I missed you at Axialfest! Have a great day

@RCGirl 3 года назад

Yeah i wouldn't suggest going all out like i did! i think a few metal upgrades here and there would be the sweet spot.

@cheagle464 3 года назад

Sweet! I didn't notice if you maintenanced your bearings while you had them out. I've been thinking that's something I should try on my Yeti when I tear the tranny down to see if some gear noise can be cleared up

So cool thank you for doing this video!! I've been thinking about upgrading my 10.3 with Samix And you helped!

@ed0c 3 года назад

the samix titanium links are actually a lot lighter/skinner than the stock links. you should swap them all plus the dimensions match up a bit better i believe. you can also get a small length on the axle thread to allow end caps

@uwefeuerstein2650 3 года назад

@u_t_d_s_h-1_a 3 года назад

Correct. The Axials 10.3 rubicon's I see bit on the light side, it needs weighting on the wheels and perhaps axles to keep the truck from tipping over almost easily

Your front lower links are backwards. The shorter part of the bend goes at the axle like you did on the rear

Wondering the best option for first entry level full size crawler. Just got an Axial SCX24 (1967 Chevy C10) and love it. Looking at Axial Wraith 1.9, Axial Deadbolt or Redcat Scout V2. Advantage of Wraith for me is it would work with my DX5C transmitter since it’s Spektrum.

I overweight my trx4 bronco and it’s really cool to drive it for the extra weight that it has but the down side it’s that the motor burn 🔥way faster it gets really hot 🥵 ho well it’s part of the game right, buying it drive it broke it and fixed again lol

Hi Hayley ! I don't like to scale really, I prefer to bash but if you have time, take a look on the last car I bought ! This is an 1/8 Scale Wrangler Rubicon --> Yikong YK4082 - Absima Yucatan.

@v.e.7236 2 года назад

Sweet rig, but those are some seriously pricey upgades. As a 1st time RCer, what is the benefit of the Portal axle vs the straight axle, like on my 1/10 Losi Baja Rey? I still have the throttle controller set at 25% and its still way too fast to really let it loose or it likes to roll in turns and adjustments to the shocks' spring tension doesn't seem to affect this propensity. I've limited the steering as well to around 25% and still too responsive. smh

@myroncunningham9042 3 года назад

You're funny RC girl. Thank you

@RCJunky 3 года назад

Why need tread lock on the rear portal covers as the screws are going in to plastic. Thread lock can eat plastic.

@jeepd00d Год назад

After installing the pair of portal weights on the rear I found that the portal stub axles (stock) are not long enough for clearance of the hex nut to line up the screw-in set pin. How did you overcome this on yours? I have the SCX10 iii JLU

@BennyTygohome 3 года назад

Heavy Metal!

@arbitortc 2 года назад

How did you reuse the end links for your high clearance links? The stock ones have left hand threads on one end, and the samix ones do not.

@old-rcplane-phart 3 года назад

U better order the aluminum front axle! All the added weight on a plastic axle isn't good. I comp'd my capra with less weight & went thru plastic axles fast. (Mainly from the outer acle snapping.) Until i bit the bullet & bought the kyx front axle. They're indestructible! 👍

@RCGirl 3 года назад

These are just the plastic beadlocks that came in the kit, so I don't know if they are 100% sealed. But usually if i run in water, I prefer them sealed. Though if you run them sealed and change elevation (like I did going to axialfest), my tires ballooned! So I had to equalize the air before running my rigs
