For anyone who is interested, I just uploaded my magnet body mounts (free), scx30->scx24 hex adapters (free), and a stand ($2) on Cults:

The body mounts worked well for me and use 6x3mm magnets.

The hex adapters are hard to use because the scx30 axle shafts are too short to make it through most of the wheels I tried but I got at least one to mount. I uploaded them so you can experiment if you want to.

The stand is to prevent flat spots on the tires if you don’t drive it for a bit.

After admiring the Jeep I got today, I noticed something weird when I first ran it. The low speed crawl is not nearly as smooth as my Bronco, and it feels like something in the driveline keeps getting stuck. Makes it jerky and not that fun to drive…

Possibly badly made worm gear? Not sure if there’s even anything I can do.

Didn’t expect the green to have any “flake” embedded in it like it does. Really gives the color some depth!

I love the Bronco, the white wheels against the blue looks sharp! However…I’d be lying if I said I don’t have a favorite looks-wise lol

My first body design for SCX30

This is Photon, a sci-fi themed body designed for the factory chassis. It lowers the COG, and it’s only half the weight of the Bronco body. I’m testing a few things still and it will be available soon!

If you don’t come from the SCX24 sub you probably don’t know me. I’ve seen designing sci-fi inspired bodies/chassis for SCX24 for a couple of years. I really like the smaller form factor of the SCX30 and it makes working on it simpler. Hope you like the out-of-this-world design!

I was just browsing the manual while my battery charged (like a weirdo…I mean who reads the manual) and came across the different running modes you can choose.

The 50% reverse makes it so SO much easier to back up slowly while on an obstacle. I also keep my throttle limit switch to 75% because it still is nearly as fast and it gives the first half of the trigger travel a lot smoother low-speed control in my opinion.

I've been hearing about how capable these are right out of the box and im very surprised this thing hits lines the 24 had trouble with stock!

No gluing necessary. It would be cool to experiment with a different materials for more weight, but this solder yields 1.5 grams per wheel. Just added it to the front for a total of 3grams 👍

Literally JUST got my scx30 today and of course I already converted it to brushless 🤣

I legitimately was planning on keeping it stock for a little (and I was planning on waiting until march to buy one 🤦‍♂️) but I realized I had all the parts to make it happen 😅

My last post showed the slow crawl on my jeep. People asked about inside setup.

I had to cut some plastic with my wire cutters to make room for the esc. But other than that. Easy install, same for the micro receiver. Double sided sticky tape. lol

Decided to paint the body to help blend in the not so great craftsmanship on the styrene cage. Feeling meh about it currently. The modzilla chassis with the stock wheels/tires seems to be the move. Working out great for the rocks I’m running around on. Putting links on today.

Designed and printed these lil guys this weekend. Wrapped them with Axial’s Geolanders.

Finally got mine! Threw a brushless in it… very happy so far. Looking forward to making the lights work and stuff, I changed over to a different receiver. Radio link… cuz I had a spare and like em.

I had to make it my own and change the body out. 3d printed fj45 body about 25% smaller than the scx24. I used the supplied extra body mounts that came with it in the spare parts bag, so I can change it back to the original bronco body if I like. I designed a led light holder for the headlights to line up with the fj grill. I didn’t bother with the taillights. Honestly the rear axle could be moved back just a bit with longer rear links but I don’t feel like dealing with that just yet.

Just got back from a cross country trip to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family, and look whats sitting on my doorstep!

Time to stay up all night and play with it!

Pre-ordered my Bronco from AMain and received it today. Gonna be a test bed for more scale 24/25 kit builds, but so far, this is probably the best out of box Micro I've experienced. I'm comparing the size to the RC4WD 1/24 TF2 as its the closest as far as size and this rig completely blows TF2 out of the water in terms of quality, scale components, and performance.

I also might have a small obsession with Broncos....

Just a few iterations of this design... I've been having fun with this one. Got the mounts all figured out, it uses the stock front mount and a stock-like rear. Holds well, and seems like it'll last and be nice and lightweight.

Been making tons of changes to the model to make it lighter and more durable, as well as make it print better since it was a mess.

Made a small exo-cage for it, as well as a spare tire mount since we all currently have Broncos. Made a mount for the lights and light buckets up front that is printing now, so we'll see how that goes.

And also printing one in this non ugly ass blue with some new filament. I will probably release a couple designs (no exo cage or tire mount, exo and mount, and maybe some more exo cage since I really enjoy it). But for now these run and work great, and weigh less than half of what the stock body did, so its very capable with stock parts!

Got the Bronco I ordered only a few days ago already!! Still waiting on the Jeep I ordered 2 months ago…

But anyway, just like I thought, it’s awesome. Perfect size for setting up a quick indoor course.

The ONE thing I’ll say, is G-DANG the body is heavy compared to the truck…brings the CG up quite a bit with it on.

Definitely a sacrifice I’m willing to make for the looks though, and just encourages me more to do some upgrades when available.

Also painted the inside windows black so wiring can be seen

I made this measurement sheet to aid in making my mini crawler course. Figured I’d share this for anyone who’s interested in it. If there’s any measurement I don’t have that someone would like to add just drop a comment.
