    Video of testing free mods on our huge crawling course with my SCX24!

    I had a blast running the SCX24 on the crawling course. It's designed for 1/10th, but the little fella was able to do some of it. I was actually surprised how well it did. I did some free mods and also a few upgrades. Much needed wheels and tires are coming soon!! https://youtu.be/XQISliqV4w4
