Nice build Adam! I've also got the orange Power Wagon and I put a set of Little Guy Racing black Cyclone wheels (front brass wheel rings) on with their Swamp King M/T tires and it looks dope! Also added PL big bore oil filled shocks and a Spektrum brushless system with new Reefs higher torque steering servo, metal Injora links all around and the thing is a beast! Enjoy your beefier rig!
Glad to see you give the power wagon some love! I just got mine out and did the same this week. It is hard to get performance out of them, thats probably why they released the trailer at the same time. It makes a better tow rig than performer, but man the hardbody looks soooo good. Great content as always Adam thank you!
Totally agree I started modying mine as it performs terrible and isn’t a crawler in any aspect with the heavy body and accessories. I plonked a furitek brushless in it. The only thing o enjoy is the slow crawl. That said the trailer theory makes sense. I got a few parts to mod it but won’t go all out like the dudes on YT who mostly get free parts.
Eco power is one servo that I never tried but I didn’t hear good things and you proved it. The rest of this is great for a “looker”! Super 8 axles are nice.
The Orange Powerwagon is my only shelf-queen. I LOVE the looks of it and orange is my favorite color. I installed the Injora purple motor and 33% overdrive in both the front and rear to make it just a bit faster. But that’s all I plan on doing to it.
From what i gather, Eco Power took ideas from the Torq MLS. Go with the Torq MLS, it has plenty of power, is direct mount, and has the wire out the back.
I run mine with furitek micro komodo on lizard pro. Rx/tx is dumbo rc, wheels and tires are mofo 1ups and djcrawler m/t. Suspension is 39mm injora oil filled. Flipped battery tray upside-down to lower weight and relocated battery up front and did lots of brass on front axle skidplate and wheels
less length shocks. a little more brass weight at the axles or even the links. my fms power wagon is like lord dark helmet had his painted yellow so its more of a looker than performer but looks so good that I enjoy driving it thru easy lines and taking it when I travel to play with instead of looking at my phone
I haven’t done nothing to mine. It’s all stock. I got the orange one. Also only thing I have done is put a snow blade on the front but was not enough power last winter. Well, not enough traction even to push 1 inch of snow, but it was a little wet too.
I really like the way it looks I agree it’s one of the best looking scx24 axial has put out I wish that it performed a little better though 🤘✌️have fun putting up Halloween 🎃 decorations
Love seeing the PW getting love. I'm running 43mm telescopic They seem to be the sweet spot. I'm wondering if you'd have better results with 43mm Also if you put the torqu servo in could you please report back of the performance gain or ? I tend to buy the off beat rigs so finding anyone reputable to work with em is hit and miss. Catching the pw today was awesome Keep doing what you do ✌️ 👽
Great video Adam, thanks for sharing the build and upgrades on the power wagon. I like the LGRP super 8 Axles you put on, if you run into binding issues at a slow crawl, you have to remove the o-ring on the worm gear shaft. I put the o-ring out in front of the diff. Cover on the worm shaft and mount the driveshaft in between. Binding glitch should go away. This happened to me on one of my super 8 axles the rear was jerking at a slow crawl. I found out on Facebook group
@@CapeCrawlers Yes give it a shot. I took these axles apart a couple times. Scratching my head trying to figure out. The funny part is the front axles don't bind with the o-rings on. It was the rear you can spotted right away when you bench test in the air without taking it apart, So removing the o-ring on the rear axle worm gear made a huge difference to crawl slower and smoother.
It took awhile, but I came around to mine quite a bit over the past few months. I've made very minor upgrades so far, but have more in store. I was about to right it off and leave it on the shelf, but for some reason I decided to go back to it and it has surprised me more and more. And the looks are undeniable! (Btw, the Torq servo is a great option over the Eco Power. Is that the plastic version, or the one with the metal case?)
In your opinion, how wrong can I go with the starter furitek BL combo for a deadbolt? It has alloy beadlocks, large bore oil shocks and high clear links.
Hey guys i just bought today the Power Wagon and i have a ax24 with aluminum axles and furitek system the axles are the same on both?so i can make the power wagon 4ws and put the brushless combo i have on the AX24
