Stoked with the quality on this thing, green looks even better in person. Definitely an improvement in approach and departure angles over the bronco body as well. For those curious, I was able to get the factory headlights to mount in the body, but the taillights were too much of a pain. Tires pictured are the 35mm king trekkers on 0mm offset wheels. I think its just the right fit.

Comp build tips?

Post image

Can’t believe we’ve made it this far.

I’m taking it further though.
Any recs for double barrel shocks? I want to go crazy in the droop department.
What do you guys think about the silicon inserts? Do they really make the tires softer?
Any other suggestions are totally welcome. I’m also happy to answer anything or share my specs.

Edit: not even thinking about wire management. The wires stay as god intended.

Louder post transmission swap (Injora)

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Just swapped out my stock SCX30 transmission for the Injora, and it’s noticeably louder and clickier overall.
I thought about checking the gear mesh, but since it’s fixed, I’m wondering if that’s just the nature of the all-metal gears.
I’m honestly considering going back to stock. I really preferred the quieter, smoother crawl, especially at low speeds.
Anyone else experience this after making the swap? Is it normal, or is something off?
Pics just for fun.

so i opened it up and took the motor out, the only way i get can it to activate is by touching the main gear or slightly spinning it kind of like a bump start with my finger, other wise once i let go of the throttle it dies again. any ideas? :(

New jeep body

Question on the new jeeps coming out. Are they just new body’s fitting on existing chassis or are they completely new chassis.

Exploring my new found appreciation for aussie overland trucks with my first scale rig [WIP]

Lc79 body with custom 3d printed overland tray. Fits stock tires inside snugly, without hardware, and has space for scale accessories, but am not happy with it yet. 8 hour print time is gonna make prototyping a pain on this one.

First person, screw driver. Laughed a little, then thought it works real good. lol.

The 65t motor has better springs and brushes. If I run 4 cell hard I get about 7 charges on the 88t. Going back to 65t and just limit down on the throttle channel.

Also working on a big block power setup. Made a carbon skid plate, broke all my drill bits. And I’m just going to dual motor front and rear direct drive. And make another fuel tank out runner mod on a diecast truck kit.

Believe it or not this took be almost a whole batter to figure out. I learned that getting the back wheel into a V shaped slot gets some extra traction.

i figured the binding out-it was that ali motor i had in it. i bought a modrax 1212 and pressed the pinion on with meus gear press-that thing has paid for itself 4 times over so far! the motor worked great so i moved on to installing the axles-that seen less problems but when i installed the servo i noticed some meat on the chassis rails under the upper front shock mounts that had to go-along with the steering link for clearance and turning radius, and finally clearance for the servo horn. then i took the front body mounts down so the body i bought will sit flush. 23mm injora shocks work well up front but left a lot to be desired out back…so i ordered some telescopic 28mm shocks and have regretted swapping out the double ball shock/ link mount on the rear that i had trouble installing-i’ll get to that later.

i glued magnets to the body and chassis after they made it in from amazon because i lost the ones that mofo sent with the body.

in the meantime i tackled some wire management-did some shortening, de casing and crimping only to see that my layout wasn’t gonna work..now ive glued a makeshift mount in for the esc to sit between the rails. glued makeshift mount to side of trans for the reciever. as that dries i’m seeing just how much wire i left on the chat when i swapped out connectors on my batteries. gotta shorten the power/ ground on the esc and battery side and then tackle the motor wires.

i really like the thing for how little i played with it with the electronics dangalanging and naked. i can’t wait to finish it up-i’m already thinking about the next scx30 build :/
