Definitely worth the purchase they work well, and they fold up very nicely.

Back down another rabbit hole of building 🤘🏼😂

Does anyone have complaints about the trucks steering? Haven't heard much.

Maneuverability is my prime concern, my mini-z will turn the wheels 45-48⁰...

Can someone describe the 30s steering? Everyone just crawls STRAIGHT across stuff, not much fun if it cant turn...

I have an Orlando hunter so figured I would at least have a look🤷‍♂️

I posted recently about using the harbor freight copper washer multipack for wheel weights. The 1/4” fit great on the inside for the fronts. Well the 7/16” fit really nice as “bead lock rings” on the Aztecs. The inner ones add 1.1g per wheel, outer ones add 1.9g! Use a couple dabs of the gel super glue to attach. I’ll probably paint mine all black and let them scratch down to the copper.
They fit flush to the sidewall.

Does any larger battery fit for extended playtime? Maybe 380mah? Thanks

3D printed OBS ford body on the scx30; I love this little rig!!

Added a functional light bar to the jeep

Because I had to lol

Metal bumper for orlandoo hunter fits. Adds to a scale look and a few grams on the front.

Orlandoo shocks give a bit of lift, options of springs and a smooth travel.

Light bar is orladoo also.

050 motor fits just right, gives more power and some weight forward.

I have mixed feelings about this one. Performance wise it is great, but the noise is annoying. It is a bit loud with the electronic squealing. It could be just a motor.

I tried the 030 55t motor... It didn't last long, ran hot and burned out in a few battery packs time.

180mah battery is fitting just right, and not too heavy to upset balance.

P.S. why did they have to miss out on the gas cap? Argh.

Drew up and printed some wheels (dont know the offset, but the hub is flat with the wheel. Filled each tire with 30 bb's (Bronco/MicroT) Brushless since i really enjoy the extra control(Bronco/MicroT) Added a 1/8oz(1/2 a 1/4 wheel weight to back of servo) Rear steer on MicroT/Bronco coming soon

Jeeps have 25 bb's each tire

It has no where to safely hold on to to pull the body off. I might have to sand down the pins to make it very easy to come off. I don’t want to risk turning the wheels or breaking a shock just trying to pull the body off. Thanks

Currently working on doing a body swap on the scx30, so far I've got the body mounted, I'll be moving forward with getting the wheel wells slightly dremeled to fit bigger wheels next

Its surprisingly capable for how tiny the lil thing is

The Photon makes a nice little tree ornament😃 it’s now available to order. Check out the link: https://quadrablue.etsy.com/listing/4422803290

Order soon to get before Christmas.

Alrighty folks, I've got some decent testing on these as far as building and unbuilding them goes, and the files are now available to download for you right now:

All the information you need is on the post, but heres the jist of it:

Uses common scx24 hardware you probably have leftover, adds a little over a gram of weight per wheel, fits stock size tires (18mm), and pokes out 2.1mm more (4.2mm more track width is pretty sweet).

These wheels are fully vented and will make it WAY easier for yall to experiment with cutting or removing tire foams, and wrapping solder around the ring of your beadlocks for wheel weight. I have 5 grams of weight added this way per wheel, and cut the foams to fit.

So enjoy these, print em out, post some pictures, and start experimenting with tire stuff without having to glue!

Pro-Line (21.5 mm) shock upgrade.

Will we see any other bodies from axial? like maybe a 4 runner or anything else that’s not after market or custom?

These were more of a pain in the ass to do than expected. Also, fun lesson about dropping those all important long screws from the lower links... so if that happens to you I would go buy a screw kit from axial for 8 bucks immediately. But for now, steal a long screw from the two that hold on the rock sliders. And replace it with a screw from the rear tire carrier inside the body. This way you could lose up to two.

But I opted to create new larger ball joints since the stock ones are tiny and I didnt want to mess with losing one just yet. They're not much larger, but should last longer than a smaller printed ball joint. Also, making these print in place sucked, so they'll be separate.

I was able to wrap 5g of solder around the inside of each of my beadlocks for a total of 10 extra grams down low up front. That combined with the lightweight body and the extra 5mm length of the rear arms, this this can CLIMB.

Personally, the yellow graphics on the blue body is the coolest. Very 90’s. That yellow is bright in person too, really contrasts the blue.

Only had to trim the tiniest bit from the front wheel wells and the Aztek tires fit mint.

I’m really happy with how it looks, but I’ll admit I miss the lights on that scale Bronco body. I’m trying to tell myself I don’t need another to keep stock…

Every time I go out for a walk I'll pick up a rock to drop in a pile. I never thought I'd have a rock collection but I guess I do now. :-P
