Axial RC SCX24 Chevrolet C10 1967 4WD orange 1/24 RTR

Product detailed description

Axial SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 RC Model Car is better than ever! Oil dampers, Spektrum electronics and fresh new body colors were added to the proven features. The model is ready to drive, including battery and USB charger. Thanks to the small dimensions, you can ride at home or outside.

Package contents: Assembled Axial SCX24 Chevrolet C10 1967 1:24 4WD RC car model with installed components: 88T DC motor, Spektrum SLT receiver, 10A DC regulator, Axial servo AS-1 micro: SCX2. Spektrum charger and accumulator LiPo 2S PH2.54 JST-XH 3pin USB-C 500mAh, transmitter Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz and 4x AA batteries for the transmitter, instructions in ČJ, EN, DE, FR, IT.

The model is a licensed version of the real Chevrolet C10 car from 1967, which is still popular as a versatile off-road vehicle. The shock absorbers are filled with oil, absorb shocks well and provide a stable ride in difficult terrain. Spektrum electronics ensure reliable driving and control. The model is an ideal choice both for children and beginners, as well as for experienced riders. Permanent 4WD drive and front 3-point and rear 4-point suspension enabling to overcome large obstacles. Worm gears on the axles increase the ground clearance. Realistic steel C-frames of the chassis ensure excellent rigidity. Detailed bodywork, front LED lighting and licensed Method wheels with BF Goodrich tires easily handle both road and off-road challenges.

Snail gears
The front and rear differentials are equipped with snail gears, which provide the axles with a very high torque, also ensure the function of the brake, and at the same time, due to their small dimensions, they create a greater ground clearance, which is needed for overcoming obstacles.

Rigid metal sides
Just like the Axial SCX10 platform in 1:10 scale, the Axial SCX24 chassis has robust steel chassis frame rails with stiffeners that keep the chassis sufficiently rigid even when the axles are heavily twisted.

Direct axles
The front and rear suspension consists of a two-piece pressed composite solid axle. For optimal handling, the SCX24™ suspension is equipped with a three-link front and four-link rear suspension.

4-element rear suspension
The geometry of the rear suspension uses a 4-element construction, which is optimized to reduce axle rotation and torsional torque.

Functional shock absorbers
Despite the simple design with a coiled spring and a plastic body, the shock absorbers are excellently functional.

Steel axle shafts
When using worm gear differentials, the transmission of the torque to the wheels is ensured by means of steel shafts, which have high resistance and rigidity when engaging the wheels. The torque is transmitted by the pin to the hexagonal hubs.

Splined drive shafts
The drive shafts between the gearbox and the front and rear axles are splined and allow a large axial displacement and maximum torque transmission.

Powerful engine with multi-speed gearbox
The Axial SCX24 RC car model is powered by a Tazer series 180 DC motor with 88 turns on the armature. The engine has optimal torque, which is needed for driving up a steep incline. It is fixed on a metal engine bed, which helps the engine to cool and maintain the temperature at an optimal level.

Transmitter Spektrum SLT2 2.4 GHz
The Spektrum SLT2 two-channel transmitter offers the necessary functions such as throttle path size and throttle control and limitation. The set is ready for use, it is complete, including AA batteries for the transmitter.

Equipped with ball bearings
The model is fully equipped with ball bearings, both in the gearbox and in the axles and drives. You can drive without worrying that your sliding bearing would wear out somewhere.

Licensed wheels and tires
The Method MR307 wheels are a modern take on the classic slotted wheel design that dominated the early days of off-road pickups. BF Goodrich Krawler T/A® KX tires have won more rock-crawling championships than all other tires combined. That's why the Axial model faithfully captures the same aggressive design in 1:24 scale.

LED lighting
Two bright LED lights are factory installed in the front bumper. A free connector on the control unit allows the possible installation of additional optional diodes.

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.
