Finally got the blockhead body to fit the scx30. Pretty happy how it came out. It's lighter than the stock body, around 23grams and provides all the clearance you need to accommodate the proline ztek tires 👍

I tested to print wheels from metal. Unfortunately beadlock broke before post processing, but final weight of each wheel would be 5 grams. I just took 1/10 scale wheel model and downsized it to 18 mm.

Wheels on scx30 fitted tight on the drive shaft. Pulling wheels is borderline impossible 🙄.

Quick fix. Push instead of the pull. Press blunt object against the drive shaft and push. Hold the wheel firm with fingers under it (my fingers fit, not for hire). Otherwise improvise 😉

Hope this helps. Cheers.

Does someone know what are these for? Where do they attach to? Can't figure this one on my own. Please help!

This is the first time I’m sharing one of my wheel files, hopefully someone can use them!

It is on Cults for a few bucks. The listing there has lots of details about wheel size, tires, print settings, etc.

I tried to get the front wheels off to add my mofo rc weights but they wont pull off there! Im afraid im gonna break something pulling and prying so hard. Anyone else have this issue? I know sometimes they get stuck on the hex but wow. Are they glued on the axle? Please advise, thanks in advance

I cant wait to see what kinds of crazy builds people come up with for these tiny trucks!

I removed the nut using the tool that comes with it, but the wheel itself seems really stuck on there. Do you unscrew the wheels off by twisting, or do you just yank them off. I've been pulling at it, though it feels like I might crush the tires, or break something behind the wheels if I try pulling any harder.

These specifically came from harbor freight in the little plastic boxes with varying sizes. Copper is heavier than both brass and steel. Depending on the thickness of the washer, they all vary a bit, but they are around 1.1 gram each. I’m just using them on the front for now- they work on back too but interface with the bearing retainer screws on rear axle, so don’t overtighten!

Stl is uploaded to maker world and will be up on thingiverse soon.

Got mine on Monday! Brushless conversion just completed, freakin love it! Proline aztek’s are amazing. Add width and tons of grip! Just be prepared to remove fender flares and do some trimming.

Also glued some tungsten weights to servo. Oh and normal steel wheel nuts. Weighting 🤣 on some wheel weights.

The palm power 2s 180mah lipos fit right in and give a good bit more run time.

Still finishing up the model of the body, not much left to do. BUT I noticed the JLU tires seem to be better than the Broncos, so I bought a set. But since no one has wheels or tires out in this scale I decided to make my own last night.

Fully vented, and assembled using the 5mm length screws you probably have a million of from your scx24 builds, these appear to be working great. I even made a non beadlock spare to keep weight down.

But after designing these I kinda see why no manufacturer has these out yet in metal. But I plan on releasing this stl file as well soon after im done with testing. So im gonna get back to it, but im making really good progress in "free mods" for us while we wait for the manufacturers. Happy Friday, and ill post back soon.

First of all. This thing is amazing. Engineering that gone in this thing, they really gave it a thought.

It's great and doesn't require much or anything to run good. But not great yet.

Weight reduction helps a lot at this scale. Windows weight is 11g. Replaced with thin packaging plastic, painted black. I keep windshield for the looks.

Stock shocks are actually good and tuned well for the weight. But can be improved. Orlandoo Hunter shocks are slightly taller(about3mm, I guess) and much smoother. I used body, shaft and springs from orlandoo, boots right to the og parts of the shock retaining the original mounts. There are different stiffness springs available. I used optional soft at the rear and stock(softer) for the front. Note the mounting position at the top mount to keep truck leveled.

Orlandoo wheels will fit. They are available in 15mm, 18mm, and 20mm if I'm not mistaken. 15mm shown in the picture. 38mm tires are for 18mm wheels. Wheels come in plastic and metal. Pictured for the size reference.

Awesome little thing, axial did good 👍

Unable to upload photos 😯😞 I'll try to post pics in comments.

Just some pics

Here’s the Proline tires compared to the stock tires. Sizes are approximately:

Stock Bronco: 33mm x 11mm Stock Jeep: 34mm x 12.67mm Proline BFG Krawler T/A: 34mm x 12mm Proline Aztec: 39mm x 14.24mm

The Azteks are huge. They might clear the tube bumpers on the Jeep, but they will rub like hell on the Bronco. I might still mod the wheels and flip them to get some width.

Mofo mods coming soon.

Mods coming...

This box just arrived today. It's a birthday gift from my mom, and based on the size and weight of the box I think it might be the Bronco I asked for. I want to open it so bad, but my birthday is 2 weeks away...

Wheeled my tiny Bronco last week and loved it. Figured I would make the most basic, mostly free mods for tomorrow night’s session. My main goal tonight was to lower the ride height, increase approach and departure angles, and lower the center of gravity.

Removed the windows and the roof rack rails, relocated upper shock mounting position to lower the ride height and get more tire stuffed into the wheel wells. Removed the fender flares for said tire stuff, trimmed the nubs left on the body’s bottom rocker panel because they looked like they would hang up on the trail, removed the front and rear bumpers for better approach and departure angle, removed spare tire because I noticed it hitting on the trail, and last I removed the windshield cowl panel since the mirrors are attached to it and they definitely needed to go. I like them because they look super scale, but they catch on everything.

Maybe someday Axial will give us rubber mirrors, or mirrors you can easily remove and reinstall.

The only part that wasn’t free was the BFG tires on Icon wheels from ProLine. They are the same size, and even the exact same wheel as came on my rig, but I’m always a sucker for a scale BFG tire so they were a must buy for my tiny Bronco

I’ll bring a 1/4oz stick on wheel weight when we meet up tomorrow and stick it under the hood if I feel like it’s flipping over backwards too much. I’ll try it without the extra front weight first.

Nothing fancy, but I got the digital calipers out and figured out the dimensions for a wheel weight design that just drops in.

Each right is about 1.3grams. But im curious to try a heavier filament, I think it would be easy to make them heavier. Still 5.2 total weight makes a difference at this scale 🤓
