    Anyone recommend the Axial scx24 as a first RC crawler?

      We have two SCX10’s for a little father-son time.

      Great kits, I really enjoyed the build of both. Not our first RC’s, but our first crawlers. Solid little trucks that take a beating.

      Haven’t seen an SCX24 in the flesh, but looks like a shrunk down SCX10 to me!

      Yep. I wouldn’t have gone brushed 10 years ago let alone today. Hard pass.

      Brushed motors still have their place, especially for crawlers due to their low speed responsiveness. Sensored brushless motors rectify this somewhat but they don't like dirt and water.

      Traxxas Summit still uses a big stonker of a brushed motor and that was my favourite truck. 2 speed transmission and lockable diffs. Good fun.

      Haven't been into RC for years though so things may have changed.

      This looks more like a basher though, so you're correct, brushless would be desirable for this one.

    Mine is dead only 5 or 6 runs. Not recommended.

    • Logical on 02/03/2021 - 22:34

      More info please…. did you hit a wall and broke stuff and now can't find spare parts?

      • regsofweb on 03/03/2021 - 09:50

        No. Not hitting anything. After arriving, my son played a while. Then left it in cabin for about 3 months. One day I took it out and found it did not respond to the remote controller.

    I got the this from eBay for my little man and it’s been amazing. It is brushed but after reading the review I bit the bullet and we are 100% satisfied.

          Same. bought a second Wl toys 144001 both off ebay. Great bang for buck and cheap spares/upgrades available

    I have 3 of these and are great fun at the park with the kids. Like anything with moving parts if you maintain them they operate great and have some longevity. Super important to grease the diffs as they come with very little from the factory. I also upgraded the standard shocks to oil filled so damage from jumps are no issue. I also upgraded the battery to a 5000mah so get about an hour running time.

    Awesome entry level RC unit & loads of YouTube video's to support

    • OzBragain on 02/03/2021 - 22:46

      Could you please link to shock and battery upgrades? Also, does the bigger battery benefit from a charger upgrade?

      • MaMan on 03/03/2021 - 00:28
        +3

        Shocks:There are guides on Youtube (2 on front and 2 on rear) https://www.banggood.com/4PCS-100MM-Front-Rear-Shock-Absorbe…

        You can also get Oil fill shocks from amazon specific to the 9125 but way too expensive IMO so I use the 100MM ones linked above. https://www.amazon.com.au/Hosim-Absorber-Adjustable-Assemble…

        I use 35W shock fluid

        Batteries: I use are NXE Shorty 5000mah. You need a DEANS plug. Need to use a shortly to fit under the shell and I fix with velcro strap.

        I also have a SkyRC S65 for charging etc so plenty of amps for a quick charge. Crappy USB charger that comes with it would be useless for a large capacity Lipo

        My kids bash them pretty hard and no breaks or failed parts yet. I also keep the drive shafts etc lubed with a dry silicone spray and I also keep clean with an air gun.

        Hope this helps

        • OzBragain on 03/03/2021 - 13:01

          Thanks, appreciate the info.

        • isaw on 03/03/2021 - 21:04

          I'm looking on banggood for a decent replacement battery but am strugging to find something suitable, let along the banana plugs needed.
          Are they any other alternatives to the NXE Shorty you mention?

  • LukeOz83 on 02/03/2021 - 22:29

    There aren't bad but the suspension is plastic so needs upgraded to proper metal shocks and add bigger battery for sure 😎 bought similar and had heaps fun with it. Traxxas is obviously a Mercedes in RC 4WDs but this is really for fast, never ending fun😁

  • ebosh on 03/03/2021 - 06:41

    I bought one of these for my 6yo son last week. So far it's taken an absolute pounding and seems to be holding up fine. Now I'm on the hunt for an upgraded battery and shocks, I feel myself slipping right down a really expensive rabbit hole…

    • fenrer on 04/03/2021 - 10:53

      I got a crawler. Then researched fpv on rc trucks. Now I have abt 10 micro fpv drones.. I've slipped very far.

  • 87percent on 03/03/2021 - 08:25

    Before Christmas I bought 2 in stock cars. Was charged, and then was told they’re out of stock but should be available early Jan.

    I’m still waiting for them to be dispatched

    • Mat_Lab on 03/03/2021 - 16:25

      Sometimes Banggood drive me nuts as well. The price we pay to get cheap stuff.

      Can you cancel that order and buy this? It is cheaper as well.

      • 87percent on 03/03/2021 - 19:22

        Yeah I’m considering it. Wish there was a step down from this level though. Sick of those rubbish Kmart ones

        • Mat_Lab on 03/03/2021 - 19:55

          What do you mean by step down?

          You can keep the speed a little slower. Unless you turn the second motor on, then it flies along.

          It is a really good machine, if you grease the diff and don't attempt to bash it too high speed, it should last and if you do decide to keep bashing it into things, then spare parts are available.

            @Mat_Lab: yeah.. cancelled the other order and bought this.

  • Mat_Lab on 03/03/2021 - 09:32

    This is a cool truck and this is a fantastic price!

    As stated above, grease up the diff and try not to run into stuff too fast and this thing goes surprisingly well.

    I still can't believe they can make and sell such a device for this sort of price. It is so much fun.

    Enjoy

  • iwearpants on 03/03/2021 - 10:45

    USB charger (no 240v wall plug)

    Hmm. I'm assuming no one charges this via USB. If you do, how long did it take?

    What sort of connector does the battery take? Looks like Deans T plug

    • Mat_Lab on 03/03/2021 - 16:23

      Deans / T Plug connector

    • Mat_Lab on 03/03/2021 - 19:56

      The charging via usb is about 1.5 - 2 hours with a 2 amp charger.

  • Sage222 on 03/03/2021 - 12:03

    got one of these. they are awesome! especially if you hook up a 3S battery!

  • Sage222 on 03/03/2021 - 12:05

    btw they go real fast with the 2s battery easily 35-40kmh. with the 3s battery its barely controllable!

    • Mick540 on 14/03/2021 - 18:32

      Can you please provide a link to this battery?

  • WSDtightwad on 03/03/2021 - 14:12

    I got 2 of these a couple of years when they were ~$55-$70 on banggers.
    Both have taken an absolute bashing and still work great. Broken inner front wheel rim on both of them, and a lot of grinding on the front under bash plate (both due to many many gutter impacts).
    We got upgraded batteries at the time (can't remember mAh) which still fit and charge of same charger. Turns 7min run time into 15+min.

    Seeing the above, will be eagerly looking into lubing diffs and upgrading the shocks.

    Thanks manan.

  • 87percent on 03/03/2021 - 15:25

    Is there like a step down from one of these someone could recommend??

      If you mean step down in cost, i couldn't find anything of value in between cheap Kmart and this. However, i see that Hobyco has dropped the price of this one down to $79.99 https://www.hobbyco.com.au/TRC9120

      • iwearpants on 08/03/2021 - 09:36

        Just noticed the TRC9120 is only a 2WD

    Received yesterday, had a quick play with it last night, seems fast enough and fun. Have some replacement springs/shocks to drop on and some 3s/5200mah batteries to stap atop as well.

    For those that are interested Ovonics have 12% off (with already discounted prices) with MARCH12 coupon. I got 2 3s/5200mah for $105 delivered.
