I've got a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the basement with 2x12 for sides. Full of rocks from outside, sticks, boards at off camber angles, airsoft BBs for "mud", and a few other obstacles. You'll find kiddo and I down there for about an hour a night with the SCX trucks. Of course he took over the one I made into 4WS.
 
New updated chassis, body, diff pinions and pinion bearings for the practice buggy. Paddles back on for winter oval racing on our backyard track..

Finally (a year later) mounted up some west desert wheeler cut'n'shut 2.2 proline 2.2 krawlers on Vanquish battle born wheels. Also went to a 600 slw hub. Should going to try it out later.
 
I got some 1.9 sierra's in my TOF. Trying to figure out what color the ones in the package are.

The top opened wheel is a 1 off bronze. The ones in the package look almost rose gold or bronze to me

Did a bunch of stuff

Picked up this SCX24 based guy for my youngest for Christmas

Lost a wheel nut crawling so picked up some weighted “rotors” to widen it up some, add some weight and it came with new wheel nuts.

Didn’t work with whatever plastic beadlock wheels it had so swapped the SXs onto my stock TRX4m Bronco wheels.

The aluminum bumpers I got for the Bronco awhile back broke

So picked up a pair of the stock Traxxas plastic ones and swapped those on, the plastic seems to hold up better since it has some give to it.

Also picked up new shocks, aluminum beadlocks and some tires for it

They’re really big :laughing: might swap these onto the deadbolt and put the “treps” on the bronco…but ****, thats a lot of “screwing” around (badum tiss) with tiny hardware lol

Had that before the current changes, it performs a lot better if you stretch the rear and relocate the rear shocks. Forget which link set has the 61.5/69mm fronts, but I ran those on the rear and filed down the spot circled in red, relocated the shocks there with spacers and those shocks don't bind up anywhere near as much as they do at an angle.

Nice! Good info 🤘🏼

Did your rear upper links hit the motor?
 
Motorcharge said:
Nope, even without springs the rear of the chassis didn't touch, it'll sit stupid low without interfering with anything.

Huh, with the extended shocks its hitting on this one.

Swapped the stock shocks from the deadbolt to that chassis tonight, sits way better now. The transmission gears are slipping though so ordered a metal injora trans for it.

Swapped the extended shocks from that buggy to the deadbolt, sans springs for now. Works ok but ordered some extra-light rate springs for those shocks as well so it wouldn’t sit sky high. Flexes way better esp with the heavy beadlocks.

Then swapped the stock springs from the bronco shocks to the new coilovers and added oil to the shocks. We’ll see how it does with those and the new tires vs the stock stuff, hoping its not too top heavy now

now i want to make a RTI ramp. thansk for the idea. lol
 
Just started this project.
I recently found a 3D file for an LJ body like my current full size build. So I thought I would build a replica. I had a couple of frames and other parts to start with.
I did not like how the older frame I had was fitting so I bought a SCXIII Gladiator frame and running gear off of Ebay. I liked this frame due to the forward engine location and the plastic cover making it look like an LS motor under the opening hood. Also bought a set of Currie D44 vanquish axles and a working 8274.

I'm currently working on building the front bumper out of steel to match what I have on the full size jeep.

I'll include more pics when I start assembly.
 
Wife wanted a smaller RC to run around, stumbled on the mn models and got a 99s. 1/12th scale, hard body, interior. Will order up all the metal parts for it but for $70 bucks, this trucks cool. The lights blinkers and backup lights all even work.

Next to the maxstone 1/6

3S with a brushless motor with the ESC in a waterproof box

Its actually pretty beefy (those lights in the brush guard work and are controlled via channel 3 which is cool)

aluminum skid
PXL_20260121_142647807.jpg


remote has 2 speed settings which is cool, and i guess there is more than one program on the ESC as well; supposed to do up to 50mph depending on which program youre running on the ESC, but im not running it at 100%, because the boy wont be able to drive it :laughing:
