axial scx24 body lift

[Lowrider2014]

i just received a axial scx24 is it worth lifting the body and how easy is it to do?

It raises the cg, it will cause it to tip over easily, I don’t recommend it. What SCX24 do you own?

I don’t think you will need to raise the body, the Jeep has some pretty good tire clearance compared to the c10. The stock tires are pretty large and most upgraded tires are smaller than stock on the Jeep. I recommend putting brass diff covers and wheel weights on if you haven’t already, this will allow you to lower the cg and raise the body to whatever height you want.

I changed out my shocks on the 1/24 Deadbolt to long travel shocks.

The stock Jeep crawls fairly well as is. The tires are already oversized. A simple start to improve the performance is adding brass wheel weights.
To really improve crawling performance you want to upgrade tires. Those stock tires are just ok, since they are not as soft a compound.
