Rockhound RC Adventures: New mods for the AXIAL SCX10 Jeep Renegade!
Ойын-сауық
Hello KZread and welcome to my channel, Rockhound RC Adventures. (@RockhoundRC).
Today I will be upgrading my CJ7 with new shocks and the Hobbywing Fusion Pro 2300kv motor. I know this video is a little long but you can skip the parts that you prefer and watch what you like. I will add markers for each section to help you navigate to the desired section. Please note that I had a few issues with my camera and a couple of section have no audio. I hope you enjoy this video and if you don't mind please fell free to post and comments or questions below and I will respond in a timely manner.
Thank you for watching and Thank you for your support!

Thank you! Be looking for my next video on my SCX6! Have fun!!
I would try it normally first.
Hello sir, can you please tell me what set up you use in the desert lizards, what springs and which oil. Thank you in advance and it’s a really nice video, best regards.

Thanks for your question, I have the medium tension springs in them. The longest one is in the shock chamber, and the short one is on the shock shaft. I am using the plunger with 2 holes if I remember correctly with 30 weight shock oil. I hope this helps you sir.

Thank you for the quick response, I’m going to try this. Hopefully this set up will work, I want the front as low as possible, but still having some movement.

@ivovgeldorp849 Try using the middle length ones in the barrel instead of the longest ones.

I will do that. For now I have mounted the shocks upside down (lower gravity, no leaking), should I mount the different springs inside, normally or upside down as well? Thank you in advance.
Waiting to see the two speed so I know if it’s worth the aggravation

Coming soon.
Looks like the upgrades paid off, much better center of gravity! Couple of questions if you don’t mind? What’s your tire/wheel package? With the combination of the new motor, high range, and getting the jeep a little lower how’s the high speed ability?

I'm running 2.2 super swampers on injora Wheels, and the high range on the transmission is better than expected. It is a little faster than the high range on my trx4. The tires rub a little, but I don't mind. It adds some realism to it. The 100mm desert lizard shocks are set up soft to lower the stance, and as you can see, it crawls really well.

Thanks Anthony, appreciate the insight.
I can't believe they used an internal spacer lock for that transmission. Such poor design. They could 'have used an external way to lock it in either gear. That's a lot of trouble to go through to activate the ""optional" two speed. Axial messed up a lot on this truck: Body mounts, 2 speed trans spacer, leaky shocks overtightened screws that stripped the plastic, etc. The more I work on it, the more I realize that the only good thing about it, is the body.

Thanks for your comment! I would have to agree with you, I put 100mm desert Lizard shocks on it and it helped a lot. I hate the body mount design as well. Someone on here is making a clipless system which looks to work real well. This is my first AXIAL because I just liked the looks and went ahead and picked it up but after the mods I did I really love it now.
which light bar did ya go with?
