• Magnets hold the body on, even through a full rollover.
• The gearbox is all metal now, and it runs quieter than the old one.
• Straight axles and a low chassis leave 9mm less ground clearance.
• The skid plate hangs up on rocks and roots over and over.
• It shines on trails and forest floor, and struggles on a rock course.

• Reefs now sells the XP199 portal front axle by itself, not just on the XP10.
• Portal boxes lift the axle over rocks and gear each wheel down again.
• The axle steers up to 60 degrees, close to what factory portal crawlers reach.
• It arrives fully assembled in hardened steel and aluminum for $399.
• At 199mm hex-to-hex it fits most 1/10 builds, though links may need re-drilling.

• The Vertex-10W sits 24mm wider than the standard Vertex-10, 12mm per side.
• The wider stance fights tip-over on side-hills but fits through narrow gates less easily.
• Both rigs share one carbon chassis, portal axles, and 58-degree steering.
• The 10W also stretches the wheelbase to 330mm and lifts clearance to 74mm.
• The ready-to-run version drives on a brushless motor and 2.2 inch beadlocks.

• The Enduro24 Sendero is a 1/24 4WD trail truck from Element RC.
• Its motor and gearbox feed a separate transfer case mounted mid-chassis.
• The forward motor sits over the front tires to keep them planted.
• Metal frame rails and 4-link suspension copy a full-size trail truck.
• Gear reduction is 62.6 to 1, so the tiny motor crawls slowly.

• Where you drive decides which one to buy.
• The FCX18 is 72mm longer and 145g heavier than the FCX24.
• The FCX24 fits a desk or coffee table and stores anywhere.
• Both lines get portal axles, two-speed gearboxes and metal drivetrains.
• Choose the scale first, then pick a stock or mod trim.

• Furitek is the default brushless path for the TRX-4M.
• Pair a Lizard Pro or V2 ESC with a Micro Komodo or Stinger motor.
• The stock receiver won’t run the new ESC, so plan a radio swap.
• An app-tuned drag brake beats raw speed on a crawler.
• Add brass and steel gears so the drivetrain handles the torque.

• Gears at the wheel hub lift the axle and diff away from the rocks.
• The same gears multiply torque, so small portal trucks crawl harder.
• Moving the reduction out to the wheel means the driveline twists less.
• The FCX24 and Redcat Ascent-18 ship with portals; the SCX24 does not.
• A bolt-on portal kit re-gears the truck and adds weight at the wheels.

• The stock FCX24 frame is plastic, and it twists more than owners expect.
• A Furitek Grasshopper carbon frame is the headline stiffness fix.
• The stock body won’t bolt onto that frame without some modification.
• Brass links add about 39 grams low down and steady the truck.
• Aluminum links stiffen the frame for less than a full frame swap.

• A soft single foam lets a 1.0 inch tire fold sideways on a slope.
• Dual-stage foam adds a firm inner ring plus a soft outer layer.
• The firm ring holds the tire round while the soft outer grips rock.
• Molded silicone keeps its shape and shrugs off water and cold.
• The same 1.0 inch inserts fit SCX24, TRX-4M, AX24 and FCX24 wheels.

• Overdrive gears make one axle turn faster than the other on purpose.
• INJORA’s ladder runs 33, 23 and 14 percent faster than stock.
• A faster front axle pulls the truck up a climb and cuts backflips.
• It is a bolt-in gear swap for any SCX24 or AX24.
• Full 33 percent is a lot, so most drivers pick a milder set.
