Before I had decided on RigorMortis, I was also thinking BlackWiddah, and sticking a red hour glass design on the roof. Maybe I'll use it one day should I decide to make a 1/24 8x8 😶
Yesterday, I took a 40 minute ride to Hobby Etc in Manchester, NH. It's a large warehouse with an inventory of 99% rc cars and parts. Wanted to RC4WD Mud Slingers for RigorMortis. The MS mounted perfectly and easily onto the Injora aluminum wheels.
I am very excited to see how much further these...
Ok, so I dug out all my stock SCX24 tires to definite confirm. The Deadbolts and JLUs share the same tires and wheel design. Which are taller, but narrower than the C-10s.
The tire on the left is for the Deadbolts and JLUs. The ones in the center and on the right are from the C-10s(black wheel...
I don't know much the Betty, since I don't own one, but the whole the C10 and Jeep have the same links and driveshafts, the run different size tires. The C10 runs smaller tires, and the Jeep and Deadbolts run the same larger size tires.
Thanks, J!
I'm really impressed with the quality of these Injora wheels! Just remember though that they do use Chinese screws, so be gentle and DO NOT overtighen. These are 1/24 crawlers, so no need to use anywhere near gorilla strength tightness. A bit of blue loktite will do. I'm probably...
New shoes. Injora copper colored aluminum wheels with mud slinger tires copy. The wheels are really nice! The tires are pretty soft, but no where as soft and grippy as RC4WD's. The threads are also no where as tall as RC4WD.
I'd decided to go foamless. It was quite tricky trying to mount the...
The rear "hybrid" shocks on my SCX24 RigorMortis was not working the way I liked it, so I went a different direction. I t reassembled the other pair of Injora double barrel and installed them in back. With the shocks now positioned much more horizontal, they function much, much better than the...
Picked up that mini crate from the Dollar store this past weekend. Funny thing is, I initially bought it to make a shock stand out of it by simply drilling 4 holes. Then I come to find that it makes a fairly tall, sturdy car stand for the SCX24s.
Now, I have to go back to the store to get...
Today, I added brass hex extensions, taken from Redrum. I'm also retrying the Injora double barrel shocks, this time, in a different configuration, and only in the front.
RigorMortis is now running a full droop set-up. Initial indoor testing is promising!
I think I will keep the FMS/EazyRC...
Yesterday, I took my diy weighted wheels off my EazyRC Arizona (Jeep), to see how RigorMortis would perform with a significant lcg. The weighted wheels came in at 40g each, as opposed to the 18g wheels that was initially installed.
Much more stability, but also much heavier overall weight. Crawl...
