NOOB crawler AX24 owner

[bozo]

Watched Youtube, got the bug. Bad idea. (not)
Wanted to try a crawler, supposedly this is a good one.
Lots of support, oodles of cool hop ups but looks looks like this will be a bit of a $$$ project.
So far it's a blast but the cats hate it
Let the mods begin (empties wallet)

Welcome to the mini madness

Welcome in @bozo , it can get expensive but to the mind and soul it's rewarding.
1/24s are very cool and fun to run. A box of shoes thrown out down the hall makes a great crawler course.

a AX-24 is on my list of next RCs for sure.
have fun with this one.

Nice! Open your wallet. Lol. They're addicting.

Heavily invested in 3 other minis but, that's the next I'd like to experiment with.

Welcome to the mini madness

Just my kinda place... got some good company tho

A box of shoes thrown out down the hall makes a great crawler course.

Put down a bunch of stuff down in the living room and ran three packs thru it. The wife is not pleased and the cats aren't quite as terrified.
Yikes! This thing is a real hoot! I can see the attraction.

Nice! Open your wallet. Lol. They're addicting.

Gonna do all the free stuff first, then see what needs improving next. Seems like there's a bunch of wildly varying info on the webs- some say flex, some say droop, some like it heavy, some light. Brushed, brushless, springs or no springs, etc.
All I did today was tighten the servo savers, loosened the wheel nuts a tad and put some rubber o rings on the steering links.
Any suggestions, tips or hints are greatly appreciated!
I'll do a build thread when I decide which way to go with this.

Let us know if you find yourself squinting a lot.

Got my trusty 20 year old Luxo. (didn't realize how dirty it is- except for the business part).

My 8 year old grand daughter comes over and we set up a course in the living room, she loves it.

Heres my kids, two of them have the Furitek system, one stock, and one has another system but I don't remember what it is.

The AX24 is probably the most capable straight out of the box 1/24 crawler Axial makes. I really like mine.

I thought about getting one of those AX24s since I have its big brother, the AX10.

I've been working on mine. At this point when I buy some brass axles I will be able to build the stock ax24. I've been documenting everything. Probably start posting the build tomorrow. This is my first 24th scale and I love it. I would definitely recommend the furitek motor/esc combo. Have fun.

hey, you wanna give away the extra parts?

Great! Really nice rig, looking forward to the build log.

I would definitely recommend the furitek motor/esc combo.

Looks like the package they have for the AX does not include the gearbox. What combo did you use with the Furitek?

 

[Bbqguy52]

FURITEK STINGER BRUSHLESS POWER SYSTEM FOR AX24

FURITEK STINGER BRUSHLESS POWER SYSTEM FOR AX24

Currently I'm using the stock transmission. I added the metal gears.

I have two Furitek systems, they indeed are killer.
