Im confused I want those swamp kings but what beadlock wheels will fit? And is an adapter necessary? Or will any wheel fit the shaft and wheel nut
@CapeCrawlers
Жыл бұрын
Any 1.0 wheel should accept the swamp kings. No adapter necessary for most wheels on the FCX24, although some, like the RC4WD wheels, have a smaller diameter hole in the hub and will need to be drilled out. All other wheels I have put on the FCX fit just fine.

Really no need to apologise Adam cos at the end of the day we are all in this together 👍🏻. I’ve only been into the rc crawling scene for about 3 yrs now and have found that the rc community has to be the best community to be in. I have learned so much from people and that they are there to help no questions asked. At the end of the day your the one doing us the favour by making, editing and posting these videos so it should be us thanking you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 cos people dont really understand how much time it takes to sort it all out and are also too quick to jump down someone’s throat if they do make a mistake. So i would like to take this opportunity to say a massive Thanks a lot from everyone who watches your channel and again think its the best channel by far on KZitem 🙏🏻👍🏻🤙🏻❤️. P.s. i got the Comp tyres from Injora and they are massive and now know what you mean about them not looking right on your rig 🤔🤔. FCX24 looks a thousand times better with the mods you have done Bud 👍🏻🤙🏻😍

@@CapeCrawlers i havent yet, i only installed one of them onto a rim to see what they look like, i really dont think my C10 will suit them but will have to try all four to see and take them out and put them to the test 👍🏻🤞🏻. I also bought some Boom Racing Max Grappler for the SCX24 and they feel crazy sticky. Had a bit of a problem installing one onto my wheel because the centre hole is tiny and you have to really stretch them to get it fit,makes getting it to sit correctly on the rim a nightmare and was wrestling with it for nearly 30 mins 😢😩😂. Looks like the FCX24 is way more capable with the mods you have done and i really like how it looks. I was stuck on wether or not to get one but after seeing your video i’m really keen on buying it, i just hope i get the metal portal gear version thats all. 🤙🏻👍🏻

I checked your channel and didn’t see any more of this truck unless I missed something.

I hear you. I broke 2 portal gear carriers day one and the headlight wire later on and still love the truck. My yellow one has steel 1" wheels and Scrambler tires, patina, a homemade utility bed, extended wheelbase, and custom stickers. Great advice you give to have the forward/freewheel/brake/reverse set when in high gear, and forward/drag brake/reverse when crawling. It could be the difference between being able to play with it again or not. Same with the drag brake. It's has absolutely no use in high. It won't hold on a hill, but if you are going fast it could throw you for a loop. In low it's a drag brake, in high it's like slamming the break. I doubt anyone ever stripped a plastic gear on this but the carrier is prone to ream out the slot because of the shallow design.

I tried to rotate my esc but it was stuck. jk. My eyesight is not great, is it screwed on, glued on, or double sided taped on? They sent me metal gears but I can't use them until I get the new axle set which may or may not have metal gears. I glued the plastic gears to the axles, stripped and not, and glued the portal covers on because they would not cinch up. None has failed so far.
