Yes it does! Very happy to see some companies jump on board with upgrades for these 1/24s

Hey there! Love the Channel ! I just wanted to mention that if you flip the front bumper mounts the HR bumper sits way nicer to the body and also lifts it considerably giving you a way better attack angle. Not sure how that would work with the other models But for the Jeep it’s a great move!

Amazing the difference with tires. I waited until the last upgrade to put beadlocks and rc4wd tires on my jeep (I have the Patagonia and Goodyear) but I couldn't figure out why all my upgrades didn't help that much until the tires then holy crap what a different.

I haven't fully watched the video yet, but will when I get home. I did subscribe to your channel though and looking forward to watching more of your videos. I'm torn between the C10 and the deadbolt. It'll be my first 1/24. I did however buy the JConcepts Creep body.

Deadbolt is my favourite just very hard to get also seeing the driver in the machine makes it all better. Stretching springs twice the length and a second front end for the rear for rear steer on ch3. But you could do it to any of the 24's.

Dee and mee hobbies has every variant of these 24th scale beast.

This will be an interesting series on the Deadbolt. Mine has wheel weights & I lowered the esc 5mm & 80% of the time it will out crawl my C10 that has the same Nitto tires & steel beadlocks. I’ve tried the shocks on the frame & for me it didn’t work. The gain wasn’t enough to over come it being more top heavy. I’m sure your tire comparison will be great when finished.

ThePreppersBunkerOutdoors yeah I knew the c10 did a little better on the course in stock from and sort of knew it was the tires but I was surprised they were that much better! I tried a couple climbs over and over with the stock deadbolt tires and it just wouldn’t do anything! The C10s aren’t great but they will at least climb something lol. I see a lot of people using the stock dead bolt tires and i just can’t figure out how?! I’ve never been able to get anything out of them. I mean you can soak them in wd40 and help soften them a tad but they still just don’t compare to a good set.

Hey man, I've been loving the videos and you convinced me to get some upgrades for my scx24. One of the things that I bought was the +4mm stub axle set from Hot Racing.

daniel dowd check your steering dual rate. You may have to dial it down a bit. Hold your truck off the ground and turn to one side and give it some throttle. Watch to see if the drive cup is sort of binding. Turn it the other way and do the same. Sometimes when you’re able to turn farther than you really should it binds and causes a wobble. Let me know if that helps! Glad you’re enjoying the videos. I have so many more planned! I just gotta make time to get one project at a time finished lol

Thanks so much! Really appreciate you watching! Honestly I always tell everyone to get whichever model they like the looks of best because with a little work you can make them all very capable. The deadbolt is probably a little better out of the box and has less body rub etc. Just because the Jeep has a little heavier body with the fenders and stuff. If you like the look of the deadbolt then I’d probably go with it just because once you add longer shocks or bigger tires etc you won’t have any issues with body rub. Or just cut on the Jeep body lol. Overall they share most of the same parts so you can always convert them to whatever!

Skip Miller I’ll have to measure to check if they stay stock width or not but so far they seem pretty good. I’m not a big fan of the way they mount myself. I would’ve bought them a long time ago if they had a hex. So far I’ve had no issue with it but I sort of like having my hex personally. The little screws that come in them and the racelines suck. The tool they give you for them is horrible and strips out instantly. I made one with a screw that had a head on it that fit them.

brandon collings honestly on my indoor course the rock creepers seem to be most everyone’s favorite. The new Thornbirds did REALLY well though. Better than I expected honestly. A lot of it depends on how the truck is set up. I run rock creepers on my c10 and they are amazing. I put them on this deadbolt and it wouldn’t climb very well. Mostly because they are a little smaller and the truck just kept hanging the skid and links on everything. Moving the shocks usually fixes that. I’m working on a full tire comparison. Hoping to finish it up soon. It’s just a TON of work lol

Those are the rc4wd competition beadlock wheels. Only bad thing about them is they don’t use a hex. They mount directly to the pin in the axle. Works fine but it limits weights etc. Not really sure why they did that but I love the wheel overall.

There really isn't that big of difference between them. I have and have compared the C10, JLU, and Deadbolt out of the box. If I HAD to rate those three for capability, it would be Deadbolt, JLU, then the C10. And the ONLY reason the C10 comes in last is the body clearance. The tires are definitely better on the C10.

Yeah none of them will stay stock long. They need too much imo. May as well buy a motor and esc when you purchase the truck or just be let down by the stock ones. I agree the C10s tires are probably best but they all suck compared to a good set of hyrax or most any Rc4wd tire.
