Yep, there’s a really sweet machined billet trans case for it that Vitavon makes. Supposed to help dissipate heat and it looks awesome. It’s $220 so I’m not ready for that yet.
I did that earlier this year, a little over 3000 miles and they didn't need to be replaced, I did it anyways, since I had it down. I love this little SCX 24, it's a blast! It helps me with my bigger crawlers on techniques.
Talon seems to wear them fast. I do have the passenger rear that I bent the rotor and caliper on and replaced 6 or so months ago.
I'm having some work done to our P1, to get ready for the TO, so funds are limited for up grades to the SCX24, I did do the brass knuckles, helped a bunch! I got the Night Crawler out today, seemed very large, it's a beast! Starting to think I enjoy navigating the SCX24 and the ECX 1/17 more than then the Night Crawler, but the Night Crawler is a beast and fun!
Been doing some research on RC's, the SCX24 has the most best marks on most of the sites for 1/24 scale, this little poop is a blast! You can drive it all over your cluttered desk, across your computer key board and never change anything, it goes with me every where, when I need to kill 15 minutes between meetings, I find a vacant lot with rocks, it's a good mind release!
I wouldn’t steer you wrong sir. They are solid out of the box (other than the charger which is an extra 15-ish bucks for a cheap fix). Pretty budget friendly starter overall. It will let you know if you enjoy the hobby or not. But you can spend 4 or 5 times the RC amount on add-ons if you want to. Probably wiser to get a bigger scale companion for it though instead once you decide it is a hobby you want to invest more money in.
The beach sounds like a great playground for that RC.
That was cool, got to watching a lot more vids, the last one was a group of friends in a basement with a 1/24 scale course, I think they may have been drinking, it was great!
I'd honestly look at the FlySky line. That little GT5 I bought for my kiddo is really impressive:
. This is what I'd be using if I was still racing:

Another plus is the receivers are about half the price of the Futaba/Airtronics/Spektrum.
This is the Futaba comparable to what I run (mine is the 4PLS, they don't make it any more):

....or just go all out and get this guy
Futaba Systems 7PXR 7-Channel FASST Transmitter With R334SBSE Receiver
The Futaba Systems 7PXR 7-Channel FASST Transmitter With R334SBSE Receiver is a great brand at a great value. Find RC transmitters, radio systems, and electronic RC parts at your online hobby store, www.towerhobbies.com!
I'd just leave the SCX24's on the RTR controllers.
I don't imagine I'll ever be as good as the $700 Futaba. If there are must have features though I'll do it. I definitely don't mind spending the money for the 4 series. Are there appreciable differences between the 3 series and 4 series that I should care about? What features should I care about to begin with? lol
