I appreciate the comment and the view! I sometimes feel like I don’t give a ton of info so always good to know it helped someone a bit.

Those are sweet bro....I never thought about a foam being like that....I'd love to try them

Awesome to see these on the 24th scales. Definitely gotta do some more testing. Side hills and conformity (when they’re on the car) would be awesome to see 😁

I am not into limiting straps either. I have not been paying attention and didn't know these existed. Thanks for making the video Matt.

those could be a game changer, thanks for showing them !!

Love it I tried to order some but I cannot yet it was a week or so ago they said they drop Sunday and still said out of stock so I can’t wait!!

Likely not news to you but thought I'd throw this out there for others that may not be aware... A short length of fishing line (adjust length to your preference) running from the center front edge of your ESC tray, down to the center rear of the servo mount, will stop the front from unloading on steep climbs as shown in this video. BUT, because it's located at the center pivot point of the front axle will have little to no negative effect on articulation. Much more useful than running limit straps or rubber bands at the shock locations, IMO, as that DOES inhibit front axle articulation. Very simple to do, and essentially free. Just a drill a small hole in the center at each location, run a short piece of fishing line through them and start experimenting with length until you get what you like. Once you have it the way you like it, place a little spot of hot glue (or Shoe Goo) at each point to set the length, and trim away the excess to tidy things up. Wham bam, thank you mam! Keeps the front planted and no more hyper extension of the front shocks on climbs.

Yeah I talked about that a bit in my Injora shock vid. I just don’t care for any style of limit strap. It still lets the body roll side to side a lot on side hill situations. I just prefer to run a forced droop setup in the front that holds tight but still allows the flex when needed. Whatever works works though! I just hate limit straps and I’m not really sure why 😆

@@2fmrc Yeah, I get it. Do you have a video where you describe your preferred forced droop setup in detail? Currently planning my next build and always looking for new ideas. And some of your rigs do really really well! I did stumble upon a video recently where the builder used a secondary servo to suck the chassis down tight when the situation demanded, and then free everything up for full articulation when desired. Not sure how well it would work in practice, but it did look very interesting in the video. I may have to give that a try at some point just to play with something new...

@@michaelc3416 yeah I’ve seen a few people do that with the servos. Kinda like dig on these rigs though. I just don’t really want that extra weight of a servo mounted anywhere but the axle lol. I talk about the setup I’m running on most of my trucks in this vid. I’ve had great results with it so far. My latest build with the portals in the rear has this setup and is probably the most capable 1/24 I’ve seen in person lol. I’m sure someone has em more capable but it’s a beast for sure!

@@2fmrc Thanks for the link. Great info! And yeah, the weight of a high mounted servo was my consideration as well with the servo suck down thing. You have a lot more experience with these little things obviously, and I've only seen it done once. Just thought it was pretty cool for certain applications. You know how it is when you first see something new to you and think, "Wow, never thought of that before...". But yeah, that's why I keep watching your videos, and keep learning... Peace.

That's epic bro, thanks for sharing 😎👍

THAT IS WHY I SWAPPED TO SHORTER SHOCKS IN FRONT AND PUT A LIMIT STRAP IN THE CENTER OF THE REAR. THE REAR WILL ONLY POP UP STOCK HEIGHT ON DECENT BUT, THEY FLEX ND REACH FURTHER FOR TERRAIN BY PIVOTING IN THE CENTER. THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW, I HAVE TO GET THE 3D PRINTED INSERTS FOR MY CRAWLERS NOW.

BUT, IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS HAVING NO PROBLEMS SELLING AT THIS PRICE NOW. SOON CHINA WILL GET INTO THE GAME WITH MASS PRODUCTION AND THEY WILL BE CHEAPER AND STRONGER.

Was waiting for something like that since the moment Antis came out. Doubt I’ll be getting them anytime soon in uk with current shipping but I’ll wait to maybe have one of vendors carry them. Still Gona try print mine with tpu regardless

I was really interested in these after I saw west desert wheelers video about them on 10th scale. But non were available for 24s at the time so I took the foams out of my Chyrax. And I’ve actually been so happy with them foamless. The 24th scales actually doesn’t have enough weight to roll over the tires as it is unless you’re in a really awkward bind. The only time I’ve seen my sidewalls give so far was a side hill I was already falling off of

So that's what you where talking about when sticking with the 3D printer you bought unless the resin printer. Those are bad A$$ to say the least. I love how they hold up on the side hill. I have been combating that with tuning discs in the foam and then fighting to get the bead lock set. Thanks for the great video and bringing the latest and greatest to us and thank you for keeping my bank about empty.......LOL. If you where really interesting in increasing your climb angle you need to raise the rear upper links higher at the skid plate. The rule of thumb for the distance of link separation at the axle is equal to 1/4 the diameter of the tire. IE: 2 inch diameter tire = 1/2 inch separation. Keep up the great work!!!

is there some of these for the island wheels? if not have you found a good option? im gonna be buying the island wheels soon

Same wheels (even same color), same tires, and same inserts I just ordered. Can't wait to get these on a truck.

Have you tried the overdrive transmission yet? I picked one up but I haven't installed it yet

Hey mat I am having some furitek lizard problems trying to run it with a castle motor but it’s just kind of stuttering was wondering if u had any advice

If you ever go no spring and such, run some jewelry chain instead of shocks. Basically can adjust link by link and have no flex binding from the shocks not wanting to comply.

Limit the middle of the axles. Will keep it from unloading, but will not hinder the flex. Love the videos!

Maybe instead of messing with shorter shocks, for a quick a-b test throw like a zip tie or something from the front axle to the chassis as a limit strap to keep it from drooping so far

i dont feel like foams on 24th are necessary at all. they just dont have the weight to actually engage them. You demonstrated mashing them down side by side but when is that ever going to be the case without you mashing them down? totally not realistic.

Have you ran scramblers? Definitely need these! Most of the others I agree though. Not a huge deal. I’ve had them smash like that plenty of times though when you’re at a slight side hill but wedged between rocks. I’ve basically ripped tires because they’ve folded completely over in those situations. Not completely necessary but needed at times no doubt.
