RC ADVENTURES - PT1 - AXIAL SCX10 HONCHO SCALE RC TRUCK KIT BUILD - INTRO

[skatekid9876]

if any one could give me an estimate price for this kit and all the electronics together. i really want to get into trail driving... Thanks for the help

[DeadSnowRC]

@carsaildaylong don't bother to get the hpi one in my opinion you have to spend the money to get anything worth driving a scx-10 will go up hills like crazy and you can get a ready to run for only $350.00 This is just my opinion but I know medic would agree spend the extra money it will be worth it!

[carsalldaylong]

i have a question should i get a wheelyking cuz when i wanna go up hills i dont want it ti flip back and my bujet is $260

[ThePashley5]

hey medic can i get a wireless or not winch with a 8 channel transmitter

[DeadSnowRC]

@ipwn1911 I'm no medic but I'm not a newb either. In my opinion stick with the stock setup until YOU feel the need for improvement. The stock are good enough to learn to trail/crawl on, however If you do go mudding you will have to waterproof your esc squirrel and medic have great vids on that. Hope this helped and good luck. :D

[ipwn1911]

hey medic i seen one of your videos the other day and now im in love with these things but im still a noob at it all so i dont wanna go all out and buy top of the line stuff for my first truck. id like to get the feel of climbing and mudding fist, is the stock 25t engine good enough to start off with or should i swap it for a new one also what is a good battery to start with? also if there is anything you would recomend swaping right away let me know thanks =]

[ipwn1911]

hey medic is there another way of getting the winch to work witha cheaper remote ?

[djmedic2008]

@ipwn1911 You would need to install a three way switch.. and even then its dodgy at best.

I want that truck so bad!!you are so awesome love your videos I just bought the wraith it is awesome I am ten call me at 1 571 291 1401 I would want to buy this truck and I have some question thank you so much for all the

[chanceeric]

where can i get 1 at?

[popoyappoy]

Wish i can get myself any of those trucks and migrate to Canada just to leave with those trucks and the RC sparks! HAHAHA! LOL! :)) Long lived RCs!!

[134cars1]

this video convinced me to buy this truck and so far i love it

[painterofdreams]

Quick question.. How are you able to use a 3s battery on a speed control that only supports up to 2s, and on a brushed motor. that esc should give you an error when using the fxr esc since it only supports up to 2s lipo.

[djmedic2008]

@painterofdreams - Easy, the Tekin FXR can support a 3s on a 35T or higher motor. As you believe otherwise - and im sure an argument is about to ensue - please check the following link - teamtekin*com/fx.html

What you speak about is the FX series can only handle a 2S. 

[painterofdreams]

@djmedic2008 no, no i am not trying to argue, just trying to clear up some confusion, it is to my understandting that the FXR is a 2s ESC, and the FXR Pro is able to handle higher than that, and normally you cant run anything higher than 2s on a brushed setup, but then i saw you using the BEC which probally scales the voltage down.

[djmedic2008]

@painterofdreams did you check the link I just gave you? Its from Tekins site. The BEC is a power distribution centre. it distributes power to all parts of the trail crawler when needed. IE: Full Throttle / Mega Steering servo at 6v or higher. In the link i provided above - check the "spec" section of the FXR and the FXR pro. You are correct about the 2S... but as mentioned above - 3S if you are running the 35T motor or higher :-)

[leocrazy0987]

How much is all of that im looking to build one

[hwalker0303]

dude killer vids!! i'm just getting into r/c crawling and i got a question, would i be able to use a xl-5 waterproof esc on this build? I want to make it a crewler plus a mud bogger. I'v already got a 2075 servo and thought it would be kool if i could go waterproof an the electtrical factory rather than doing it myself. thanks for all you do dude!!! LATER "WALKER"

[Zibby722]

are your 2 servos is 1 for steering and 1 for throttle

[Zibby722]

what is the eastridgehobbies website i can't find it

[Zibby722]

what is the website for that hobby gear stuff medic

[Axman3115]

Hey medic love the videos keep up the amazing work! Would this truck be better bought as a kit or RTR then make changes as I want to?

[pacificbreakdown]

im new to the crawler portion of the rc world, but i was wundering if you could tell me the difference between using a 35t motor and 45t motor. and which lipo to use and if i can run 2 batts instead of one or will running 2 over heat evrything. ny help is very much appreciated thanx

[4238024578]

where is east ridge hobbys at

[RCBASHERTRUCK]

It cheaper to buy the ready to run right

[bleachismilife]

hey medic where can i get a winch for mine ive been lookin everywhere keep in mind ur a great distance away from me so no goin to the hobbie shop there lol please help

[TheWeeeeeeee]

Wow thx for the superfast reply medic

Grts

[TheWeeeeeeee]

Wow thx medic for the super fast reply

Grts

[TheWeeeeeeee]

Hi medic. Are the bearings

Stock in the kit??

Reply me fast because i'm gonna buy 1

[djmedic2008]

@TheWeeeeeeee yes.. they are stock with the kit

[xnihpseht]

The Honcho kick so much ass! Find, borrow, steal money to get urself one..oh, and DO get the kit!!

[cody692292]

okay now i have a losi mini crawler for fun right now but on that it has the stock transmitter and reciever but the reciever has an aux channel how do i use that cause i have a servo winch i was going to use it for

[shokwave666]

how ast does the axial go

[199isabeast]

what kind of job do u have cause man these trucks are exspensive or do they donate the stuff to u

[cody692292]

do you know if the same things apply in making a four link suspension for a ford ranger as applied in making one for an rc truck?

[TheZkj]

dont buy memery foam inserts in coldweather they compres and wont puff back up

[cody692292]

i got my brother into it and that is what he is getting. i wanted this one cause i want something that is for fun not just extreme crawler courses. i have a creek and mountain behind my house so i figured this would be best for me.

[cody692292]

okay thanks. been looking around would it be cheaper to buy the truck ready to run then change a few parts and water proof it

[djmedic2008]

@cody692292 yeah, and i made a mistake.. the SCX10 build was only about $1350. Forgive me.. i actually have several trucks and mixed this up with my XR10

[hammell557]

@djmedic2008 what is the second plug on the lipo batterie for i wanna get some but i dont know what there for

[cody692292]

hey medic about how much would it cost to buy and build the scx10 just like the one in the video minus the 2.2s i want to stic with stock tire size?

[jsk850]

hey medic awsome vids i really love all your series...i have a question about max amps can i run a 1800 3s lipo with the tekin setup and also what plug would i get? thanks for the great vids keep it up

[djmedic2008]

@jsk850 You can bro..If you are using an FXR system - but you need to be running a 35t motor. nothing less than 35t. ie: 27 etc... Depends on what your plug is bro.. i usually use a ultra Deans connector. :-) hope that helps

[CrazySilentAssain]

@djmedic2008 whats the highest mah can you run on the fx-r system. Also whats the highest C like 30C lipo betteries.

[BoomVision]

all your video's say to hit eastridgehobbies.ca but when I try that it doesn't work, did they discontinue their website?! Thanks for the info :)

[djmedic2008]

@BoomVision Yeah.. they had a hosting issue. I believe it will be resolved by December 2010.

[numyumnumyum]

@djmedic2008 its not resolved yet =/ but im very new i have been watching videos on youtube and i want to buy a all around mostly mudding but i want to be able to crawl what would you suggest to be the best for my money (id like to keep it under $300 dollars and im good with putting it together)

[bada55mofo]

Hey Medic, I just got done building my SCX-10. It looks a lot like yours because you inspired it lol. However, I was wondering if the FX-R can handle 3s or not, it says only 2s in the manual but you seem to have used it and not fried anything. Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

[djmedic2008]

@bada55mofo Here ya go my friend.. straight from the Tekin website:

"Input Voltage: 4-9 Cells, 2S Lipo (3S Lipo with 35T or higher motor) " Cool hey? The motors I used in this build were 35t's. Did ya find that helpful? Hope so.. enjoy and have a good trail run :-)

[duck54zilla]

Please reply, if you buy the RTR version instead of the kit, would you still be able to customise it like change the motor, servos and shocks like you did?

also i looked at the spektrum recievers and they have a 3 pin "connectors" for the servos and motors, do you have to solder the wires to them or are there certain plugs you can use like dean connectors?

[DriveDodgeRam]

how much was the "AXIAL SCX10 HONCHO" kit?

[EthanX817]

I usually get 400 dollars for Christmas and a lot more for allowance so what would you suggest? the trail honcho, or the kit?

[mustanggt500ism]

in total wat did everything cost together

[whiteblitz]

DJmedic, thanks for the info. I understand when it comes to parts there are performance parts and entry level parts. Im might just do the RTR and take the mods from there. nice background music btw on the other vids :D

[whiteblitz]

djmedic, thanks for the info. yeah i saw the RTR version. im just getting some info abour prices of the parts. I know for sure there are lots of different parts with diff qualities right? we'll see how it goes and post something when i get my rig. thanks a bunch

[whiteblitz]

Djmedic, very nice vids you made! the rest of the videos are really interesting. I wanna build one pretty soon. on the top of your head all in all how much should one invest on the whole kit? i.e. including all the parts and electronics? thanks for any info

[djmedic2008]

@whiteblitz hey bro.. to be truthful- I go crazy with my builds in the tutorials. i normally try to get the "best of the best" just to make a good series. And subsequently - it makes it very costly. This build was a total of $1350 CAD. BUT one can get into a truck like this for much less. in fact you can get an RTR version for about $400.00

[where1is1kinuso]

is it possable to put a gas powered engine on the honcho and do u know where i can find a older chevy body from the years 89-97??

[sexybeastcory13]

if i buy this and do every thing you do besides buy the shocks will the stock ones fit with the tires an everything

[Ronaldo95163]

Also Does your steering servo come with the horn? ii found a traxxas Digital High-Torque Waterproof for the revo 2008 the picture of it looks just like the servo you have on top of the box, do they come with the horns?

BTW its also a 2075 servo

[Ronaldo95163]

What should the voltage of the Lipos be?

[MrRockcrawling]

okay okay. all of a sudden i'm like obsessed with this truck. just curious what length shocks can it handle? and how much was it for the tekin electronics?

[8391208]

Are the Proline Shocks just upgrades or don't they come with the SCX10 Trail Honcho?

[djmedic2008]

@8391208 They are upgrades my friend :)

[Taylor314T5]

why did you choose to upgrade the suspension? are the stock shocks not very good, or was it to get more articulation?

I'm planning an axial build myself, probably leaving it with 1.9 tires, but I want to do some upgrades somewhere.....make it my truck. Thanks

[rclover99]

how much is it all

[sexybeastcory13]

@rclover99 its all around 700$

[frankth3frizz]

@sexybeastcory13 FML :(

[sexybeastcory13]

@frankth3frizz  what does fml mean

[frankth3frizz]

@frankth3frizz fuck my life. lol. i cant afford 700$ xD im 15

[sexybeastcory13]

@frankth3frizz im 14 an i can

[frankth3frizz]

how much did u pay for everything on this one?

[hillbillykid1]

Does it come with the front lights that mount on the bumper

[djmedic2008]

@hillbillykid1 only if you buy the TR version. The TR version is "Trail Ready", RTR

[monturacer3]

how much does the winch cost?

[djmedic2008]

@monturacer3 $40 if you can find one

[monturacer3]

@djmedic2008 ok thanks!

P.S.- will it fit a losi mini crawler?

[sexybeastcory13]

@monturacer3 they have them all the time on ebay

[plorwax]

so what type of rc that have steering and throttle ? and what type has only steering?

[djmedic2008]

@plorwax nitro has a throttle servo. Electrics dont

[alexbeast14]

Hey, me again. I just bought the Axial AX10 Crawler RTC. Any pointers on waterproofing? What all do I need to waterproof? Is it safe stock to go through mud? (without sinking it) Thanks DJMedic2008!

[djmedic2008]

@alexbeast14 I do have some waterproofing vids.. and you bet.... look for a product called "Plasti-dip" I use the spray on version now.. its spray on rubber.. and its AWESOME

[frankmarist]

when will the next 1 be out

[djmedic2008]

@frankmarist the next one is already out, and can be viewed below as a video response.

[RealCars1]

;)S

[APPLEMANIA7]

will you be using it in those competitions like the tundra?

[noremorse126]

loks awesome, cant wait till i have money to make a trail truck :D!

[alexbeast14]

@noremorse126 Just an ITSY BITSY tiny pointer : Look at an AX10 , its awesome , got mine today, might even post some vids.

[noremorse126]

@alexbeast14 Oh yeah Ax10 seems to be a beginner model good for me, i just have to wait a bit :p

[luisnitro91]

Nice, it's funny I just order one of those, thanks for the tips.

[rockymountianking]

how much is that tekin setup and were could i find it????

[conrodss]

when will more be up , i'm starting my build tomorrow and want to follow as i build

[himookim]

SWeet i love RC!!

[siddhu911]

I am very new to crawlers ... and would like to know why most of the crawlers still use brushed motors?

I love ur build videos and am looking forward to this one. Thx.

[thekoomz]

aweesome medic and rc adventures subscribed!

[cwbwake]

when will the rest be up , I'm starting a honcho build this weekend so i want to follow and build as I follow the vids

[TachyonDriver]

Oh man - some guys just have all the fun :D Can't wait for this new series! Shame about the rifle - can you swap it out for a Barrett light Fifty LOL

OK WHO VOTED THUMBS DOWN TO THIS VID??? :( Please give Medic some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism as to why.

AKA DIFFLOCK @ UKRCRC

[420RedHawk]

@Jeenyus1983 ... Lol your right... can't have a muddin' trip without the beer!

[Jeenyus1983]

@420RedHawk I'm a big Marley fan myself---if ya catch my drift...

[maarteke1610]

wow that looks like it costs alot. i was never in to that rc stuff. no offence though it looks great and everything but i really would not enjoy playing with that stuff. i would love to build it though. im a master at engineering.

[djmedic2008]

@maarteke1610 no offense taken my friend. Everybody is into RC for their own reasons. You sound like you enjoy the custom fabrication and mechanics, others may enjoy the creative design, some enjoy the community spirit of getting out to meet with other enthusiasts at events, and heck.. some of us just enjoy it all :)

[scotttlp]

After seeing your Tundra I was hoping you build a scx10 honcho and you are doing it!! You sir are GOOD at this!!

[montager28]

WOW!

the hobby gear lol..

[plorwax]

new series! nice..

[donaldcreason]

can't wait to see how it turns out. very cool project!

[MikeHendershotJr]

nice!!!! Have Fun :)

[1967mustang123]

awesome, cant wait to see the build

[bayareaaxialcrawler]

killer truck ready to see the build

[silverperzon]

Awesome, can't wait to see that thing in action.

[mempey]

Great vid, cant wait to see more, I love my Honcho kit. Awesome truck.

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

finially another badass rig medic!!!!!!!! damn!! i want one!!

[RCNEWStv]

great cant wait to see the series!

[hasek1616]

nice, but are you going to be waterproofing it?

[TraxxasRCFreak]

Yes!!!! Another build video!!! I love watching these, this looks like another great build, can't wait for it Medic!!!! =D

[JOHNDEEBANK]

Im looking forward to this. Thnx Medic.

[SmallDragon76]

Realy Nice Project you are going to build there. But why are you using the 2.2 Tires instead of the 1.9? Wouldn't they be to big to fit under the fenders?

[djmedic2008]

@SmallDragon76 We never go small at the studio... especially for monster muding trucks...

[SmallDragon76]

@djmedic2008

Ah OK I see. the Scale Look is not the prime on the that project. Can't wait to see the thing in action.

[djmedic2008]

@SmallDragon76 You nailed it my friend... Im not overly concerned about "scale" looks..besides scale is all relitive. There many 1:1 trucks that have HUGE tires.. and are still 1:1 - Our goal here is out to have some MEGA fun... who knows.. maybe it wont fit... but it will be fun making the journey! Thats the beauty of RC. The Tamiya Tundra I built needed a lift kit added..maybe this one will too.. either way.. its truly an RC Adventure

[SmallDragon76]

@djmedic2008

I think a litle corection cutting on the fenders will do the trick.

By the Way cann you tell me the limitations of the Custom Logo for Guru-Channels?

I am thinking about change my channel settings, and want to take a look if my logostyle will fit those.

[ibyers1]

That is awesome!!!!! I have to get one!!

[STdemoniac]

super scx10 ;-)

[dfawfzx]

cant wait to see this one taking shape.

[lukiluk1995]
