Axial RC car SCX24 Base Camp 4WD blue 1/24 RTR

Product detailed description

Affordable small RC model car Axial SCX24 Base Camp in 1:24 scale. The model is equipped with multi-link suspension and 4x4 drive for off-road driving. This is an ideal beginner model that has all the features you need. It includes a Dynamite 88T DC motor with gearbox, a high-quality Spektrum control unit and a powerful servo for precise proportional control.

Proven SCX24 chassis with all Spektrum electronics. Unlike other SCX24 models, this one does not include LED lighting, the body is not licensed and the shock absorbers are spring (without oil). For experienced drivers, the model can serve as an economical platform for a new project.

The model is equipped with steel C-beam chassis, multi-link suspension with steel rods, direct solid axles and spring shock absorbers for driving. Permanent four-wheel drive drives a DC motor through a gearbox, center shafts and worm gears in the transfer cases. The body is finished, painted and made of durable polycarbonate.

Features:

• The durable polycarbonate body of the Base Camp is factory painted and includes detailed decals. Licensed Demell bumpers add to the realism.
• Officially licensed Falken Wildpeak M/T tires provide excellent grip and are mounted on officially licensed Black Rhino one-piece wheels for a better look.
• Like the larger 1:10 SCX10 II chassis platform, the SCX24 chassis features robust C-section steel frame members that provide high chassis rigidity and strength, keeping the chassis rigid even when the axles twist.
• The front and rear straight axles are constructed from a two-piece plastic molding, in which the steel drive shafts are mounted in ball bearings. For optimal handling, the SCX24™ suspension features three-point front and four-point rear suspension.
• The front and rear drive shafts from the central gearbox to the differentials are 2-piece splined and allow maximum axial displacement of the shaft while maintaining the transmitted power.
• For maximum mobility, reducing axle torsion and eliminating torque, a 4-point suspension design was developed, which is used in the SCX24 rear axle.
• The Tazer 180 88T engine on the SCX24 chassis is specially designed for 1:24 RC car models, where, together with an optimally adjusted gearbox, it provides the axles with the necessary torque for steep climbs.
• The Spektrum SLT2 dual-channel transmitter offers a number of useful functions, such as throttle travel adjustment and throttle control and limitation. It is ergonomically designed for long, fatigue-free driving and has a foam steering wheel for precise control. The RTR package is thus complete, including AA transmitter batteries.
• Even though it is a small model, it is equipped with ball bearings just like a big car. No plain bearings, only ball bearings. If you drive in a wet or dusty environment, don't forget to clean and lubricate!

Run-in of the new electric motor
New model with engine, needs to be run in first. Before starting to use the DC electric motor, it is definitely recommended to run it. Some manufacturers require it as a condition for recognizing a possible engine claim. The purpose of the run-in is to seat the rotating parts well, smooth the friction surfaces of the contacts, and grind the carbons into the correct shape. The current enters the motor on the commutator surfaces using the so-called carbons, which may not have a perfectly adapted shape from production. If the new motor is loaded to the maximum without a previous run-in, the commutator surface or the carbons may be damaged due to large "sparking". The run-in will allow the carbons to settle on the commutator as perfectly as possible. Thus, the carbons will wear out less and last longer.

Electric motor run-in procedure:
-If you have a new RC model car or boat in which the engine is already mounted, proceed as follows. Place the model on the mat so that the wheels rotate above the surface. Let the engine run at the lowest possible speed for at least 20-30 minutes. You can then drive the model for 20-30 minutes at a lower speed and gradually increase the speed. Drive the model at full power only after the run-in phase has passed.

-If you have a new engine that has not yet been installed in the model, you can do the run-in in the traditional, proven way by immersing it in water. Connect the motor to the ESC controller and lower it by the cables vertically down into a container of clean water. Start the engine at low speed and let it run for 10-15 minutes. Then you can gradually increase the speed for a few minutes up to the maximum. finally, take the motor out of the water and let it run for a while to blow the water out of the motor. You can mount a run-in engine in the model and you can immediately drive at full power. You don't have to worry about the engine submerged in water. It will work normally and the water will cool it during the run-in. In addition, it washes out carbon particles during grinding (the water visibly darkens).

Protection against overheating of the electric motor:
Since the stator is made up of permanent magnets, it is good to know that these magnets gradually lose their "power". However, temperature also has a big impact. Each electric motor heats up during operation and can reach a temperature of 60°C (therefore, the motor must never be touched with bare hands after driving!). However, if the engine is not cooled or cooled insufficiently, or if it is driven for a long time at maximum speed, it may overheat and thus weaken the magnets. Even after cooling down, the engine will no longer reach its previous performance. Of course, other parts of the engine can also be damaged by high heat. It is therefore advisable to change the load mode, or to drive with two smaller accumulators with a break for replacement and cooling, rather than with one large-capacity one for a long time at full power.

Electric motor replacement, tuning:
If you decide to replace the electric motor in this model, pay attention to the following recommendations.
The new motor should be of the same type (size), have the same number of turns and the same supply voltage value as the original one. That way, you will be sure that the model will retain its original driving characteristics.
If you are planning a tuning motor, first of all, check whether the original ESC controller in the model will be able to work with the tuning motor, in order not to burn the ESC controller, or to prevent the ESC-motor system from working. When tuning a motor, it is usually necessary to replace a pinion with a different number of teeth.

WARNING! This RC car is not a toy, but a more sophisticated, functional model that behaves very much like a real car. Due to its realistic parameters, if it is not properly assembled and operated, it can cause you injury, or injure the viewer, or damage property. The model is intended for driving in a large room or outside on a dry surface. Driving in water, in snow, in puddles, mud, sand, in tall grass without appropriate waterproof treatment can cause damage to the electronics of the model. Driving on public roads and other places (e.g. parking lots) with car traffic is prohibited. Do not drive in thick grass, you will overheat or burn the engine!
This model requires regular maintenance, by disassembling it correctly according to the service manual, you will not lose the warranty.
