I love that they’re still paying attention to this little rig, I have two and they’re lots of fun. However, now that the 18th and 24th scene has so much competition, Axial really needed to step up their game and I just don’t think they did. The oil shocks are a great addition, but I think they really needed to do more. Thanks for the informative video!

I love the scx24, but I'm sorry, for them to come out with another version and not address that steering servo that literally everyone has problems with is just idiotic

[GasBrakeSim]

Axial needs to drop a PRO KIT SCX24 version! No electronics, but with beefed up components!

Like if you agree!

[coreynelson]

Thanks for the update brother. I turned my Deadbolt into the Gremlin. Still rolling the stock Nitto tires for the overall all terrain capability. It only takes a aftermarket motor and a Injora servo, along with a little strategically placed weight and the SCX24 is a beast. Way more fun to me than a big crawler. Happy new year.

Its about time they added oil shocks. I have already added them to my custom SCX24 Pinto but its good that people new to the hobby will get a good start now.

[thindigital]

Another $75 gets you to a Furitek FX 118, brushless with FOC, its a game changer.
Thanks for the review as always.

[BeardRubEnjoyer]

Tires look good, didn't expect it to change the look so much.

The old electronics are a bummer, but its an RTR. Not sure what people expect for this price point.

[michaelhoyle]

Hopefully they release the oil filled shocks seperatley as an option to upgrade the older versions a lot of us already have.

[Glowingtomato]

Same weak motor and servo, and its minor but a body pin instead of Velcro. It'll sell because it's a Jeep but the SCX24 is way behind in the market now compared to other micro crawlers.

How do you know if an SCX42 is v1, v2 or v3? (Especially when ordering online.)

[rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

Nice little rig, good video, adding Brass makes a big difference to the little uns i added 183 grams of brass to my FCX K5 and it works well

[jdsrcs]

It is pretty cool. The new colors are nice. I think ill get the green body when it is out. As far as the servo and motor goes, a metal geares servo would be nice. Keeping the same motor is the best option since there are way to many motors out for axial to pick one. If they did upgrade it people would complain for not picking a motor they like.

Was gone from the scx24 hobby for a bit. Happy when I came back to a new scx24!

Thanks for the review Greg! I’m glad to see Axial putting the oil-filled shocks on more rigs. I have all the parts to upgrade my V1 SCX24 Jeep to Furitek brushless, Pro-line shocks, and Reefs Micro 99 servo. Seeing the V3 factory upgrades I am thinking about getting another Jeep to keep stock for the kids to use. Love that green colour too.

Looks like the oil shocks are a little shorter length also not sure what’s limiting the suspension travel for articulation on that new version.
Either way, new changes or not these things are fun. Any version just throw a little bit of extra cash and it becomes a beast. Parts are really cheap. Just do 1-2 mods a month for $20-$40 if you’re on a budget. My recommendation for any first timer for mods in order but doesn’t have to be is:
-39mm oil shocks
-weighted diff covers
-metal gear steering servo, “EMAX ES08MA II” is nice and affordable, will need to mod stock mount or buy a $10 aluminum/brass servo mount to fit the slightly wider servo. Also will need to trim the servo ears at an angle for clearance on the chassis (stock servo is plastic gears and it will shred the gears in there when doing a lot of crawling with any added weight)
-metal steering rod links for that tight turning response and slop removal
-weighted beadlock wheels (injora has some nice ones)
-tires (highly recommend proline hyrax, they’re well rounded for all surfaces for great grip and cheap for a set of 4 with plastic beadlock wheels included at $20)
-high clearance links
-and everything else you want out there! Sky is the limit and have fun!

Injora has a $38 kit that has weighted diff covers, weighted steering knuckles, metal steering rod links, and 4mm hex extensions for a wider track/stance if interested.

Thanks for the video my dude. Love the reviews and content. Keep em coming 👍🏻.

Oh wow i can't wait to see a 1000 YouTubers review this not different scx24

[cagerage]

It pains me to say this but the TRX4M has this beat still.

[AdrianLopez-rmks]

They need to do a different transmission on the scx24s, maybe like a two speed or digital function like the scx10s

[BlackSeaRC]

Nice that they've updated it but the game has already moved on and the SCX24 has been left behind by the competition.

The OG pay some respect people... the one that started it all
