Axial AX24 Build - Furitek BRUSHLESS Motor Upgrade! HUGE Performance Gains!!

In this video I revisit the Axial AX24 XC-1 build! It's been a while since I featured this rig, primarily because of the binding issues I have been experiencing with it. Recently, I diagnosed the issue as the stock esc. I swapped in a Furitek Lizard and immediately solved the issue. But now I take it one step further and install the full Furitek brushless conversion kit. This motor upgrade completely transforms the AX24!

When I upgraded my servos on my AX24 I needed to set the trim for the rear as well. So I disconnected the front servo from the ESC and then set the trim for the rear. Plugged the front back in and it stayed right where I set it. It tracks better now than stock out of the box.

There were two reasons why we decided to bring the skid plate lower. One was of course clearance for the motor but the other one was to bring the weight of the transmission/motor lower on the chassis itself. The loss of ground clearance is more than made up by the lower center of gravity. I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍.

agree with the new up grade i have the injora 50 in mine and the brass plate but the wine with a little weight is insane

Your videos are great. For a product review video, you knocked this one out of the park. Definitely my favorite RC channel. I appreciate what you do for are hobby and thank you. 👍🏼

Rear servo trim solution!
I cut two old steering links so I had the correct length to align the rear steering. Then I used marine grade heat shrink tube to glue them together. It took two tries to get it right.
Also with an Injora red 050 motor the crawl control is awesome!

Drops down a tad and moves it over a tad. The red part is the same for scx. They just made a new skid to be able to run the brushless. I tried without skid but it hits the link and bottom of battery tray. Glad to see they listened to me

Excellent tutorial. I build rc crawlers for a after work hobby. On my ax1 I have Meuse 52* steering axles with ramp crab extende lengths. Now a brushless motor. You have helped me make up your mind on a brushless conversion. I was disappointed in this rc like you were.

Awesome video as always, Adam. Making me want to get one of these.

[shawnrichardson]

I believe that I will be doing that same thing because you really showed it so well

[themidwestconnect]

mine weighs 436 with a 57% forward bias and 50/50 side to side and its a monster. I have picks and videos on IG showing it on the scales too. That furitek will obviously be a game changer though! 💪💯

You can trim the rear steering manually with an Injora threaded steering link kit.

Been thinking of getting the AX24… With the Deadbolt and C10, I’m really getting into this hobby! Dad and even my young girls LOVE these things. They want another C10, a Bronco and the wife a Jeep. If I do that might as well get another for me, and I’m thinking AX24 ;)

[surfcreature]

Wow you just fixed my issue with the rear trim, can’t wait to mine done like this.

[farmboyrc]

I want to do brushless soon but i have no clue what I would put it in! I've really fell in love with the look of the ax24.

[philipkaufman]

i had issues with the injora coreless servos put a Bec in and no more problems

[tyvozar]

hit the bind button a couple times and the light will blink however many times the number channel you're on. trim accordingly. turn off controller and turn back on to save and get back to the original channels

[DadsRCGaragePNW]

Far as the servo for the rear if you run proper steering link that will solve the issue your having. There are one made where the link mounts to the knuckle and the top arm is a certain length to account for the servo horn.

[andrewrichey]

Super sweet, will catch on the next one

ive seen people set rear steering trim by cutting the stock arm that goes from the servo to the rack a drill it for a small bolt with head cut off and adjust that way
