Power! Adding a Castle Brushless System to the Axial SCX10 Monster Truck

I will be adding items to my store all the time and all proceeds go right back into the channel! Following your suggestions, I add a little juice to the monster truck build and take it for a test drive. It is quick, maybe too quick. the body takes a beating for sure.

totally digging your scale channel, love the scale garage.

Nice! May need a BEC as that servo is eating lots of energy to move large tires. Aluminum C-hubs a must with a monster truck. Also the wider wheel and tire combo helps a lot with the rollovers.

I don't trust lipo's either. On my trucks I'm switching back to 7 cell nimh flat packs. For the smaller size rigs found some mini 7 cell flat packs used in airsoft guns. Just ordered some. At one point I had 20 lipos and was just a matter of time before one went up in smoke and fire. Never has happened to me, but I've seen it.

Great vid, definitely a big fan of axial and the scx10 monster truck platform. Looks like it's running pretty nicely on that castle system.

[crawlhardrc]

Oh yea. Looks like it has plenty of juice now. Looks awesome. I'd love to see a lipo lol

I have thought about going brushless in my HPI WheelyKing... but it torque twists bad enough with a 35T crawler motor in it. Brushless would likely just flip it over on launch lol.

Pretty solid vid as always.

I'd say your cutting out is the battery and connector. Castle themselves say not to use that connector because it can't handle the current draw, even on nickel batteries, of this system, and they heavily discourage the use of nickel batteries at all.


Gonna pop a 5700kv SV3 combo just like this in a CA-10 here soon. Can't wait.

That is a awesome truck preformed so well nice video

[jacklin]

You need to get some JR concepts tires but then you have to upgrade the axles looks great. The scale monster trucks will get me back in to RC love the channel

[JustPlaneNutzRC]

Great video! It might be hesitating because the connector cant handle the increased power draw. I had to switch mine to xt60 when I started using brushless.

[Frogs]

Bad azz truck btw. I want to build one.

[dragonflyjoyride]

Probably need to connect to the computer to program the ESC. Possibly need to add a BEC. Lots of fun! Thanks

[robertrosson]

Cool upgrade you can do a lot with the esc you can change a bunch of things with a castle link throdle braking lipo shut off points a lot you can do with the link

Once you go Bushless, you'll never go back!

I was trying to keep a brushed motor and went with a HH 21t 550 I was thinking with cold sized tires would be close to a nice scale speed, but looks like I’m gunna have to regear or go to a lower turn motor.

[RCExploits]

I was going to ask if it was sensorless, and if it coggged? Looked like fun regardless. Thumbs up.

[jpslayer]

Love this truck. What links are you running? I’m getting a scx10 kit soon and would like to build a monster truck out of it. Thanks for the help.

[mealex]

Double the springs in the back or get stiffer ones youll thank me?

[fordslife]
