Betty is getting a make over!

[Greywolf74]

Got the green Treal Shocks in. Now I'm waiting on a 3D printed part for the bed.

Thanks Kev for adding on to my already long list of upgrades J/K!

You're welcome. It's gonna be the sickest Betty build out there though

Love those shocks!

I hope so

 

[WickedFog]

I hope so

The way I see it, the Treal stuff is the Mercedes of SCX24 shiney stuff. And you will have more of that than any other build I have seen around. I am dying to see it all installed and hear your thoughts.

Sorry been working on this build but I've been forgetting to post the pics. Heres what I've got done so far. I've had to change things a few times because of the brushless conversion so some pics will show things positioned one way and then you might seen something different in a later photo.

Looking awesome Wolf.

Green bits look great!

But of course.... after all, the day is young. hahahaha

RC4WD makes scale hex bolts that might fit in there is why I asked.

M1.6 is tiny. Unsure of the other odd numbers.
The m1.6 also came on my 1.55 rc4wd ballistic offroad wheels as the center cap.

On amain, rcplanet, and rpp, under a search of "scale bolts" they also have 2 offsize bolts. Ones a 64 something.

We figured out they are actually 1.4mm, so no dice of the RC4WD ones. I have some of the 1.6's that I bought to use in some 3d printed wheels I was working on. They are definitely tiny, but I have a whole slew of screws down to 1mm for 3d printed stuff I make. You can barely see them, and trying to print a sub-1mm hole for them to fit into is a real tricky thing to pull off.

Didnt get a whole lot of time to work on Betty yesterday but heres what i did get done.

So that servo is not looking like it fits in there very well. You had to cut the ears off? And I think with all those nuts behind it your steering link is going to be at a really odd angle. The Emax would drop right in since you already have the mount for it. Or that Powerhobby one that is a direct bolt-in works great.

Yeah, we'll see what happens once I get my servo horn. If I can't make it work then I'll look in to other options.

This is just amazing, I love tiny truck builds with metal!

Thanks! There sure aint much plastic left on this thing anymore. lol

@Greywolf74 is also setting out to assemble the heaviest SCX24 ever!

Thats the one I was telling Wolf about. Must be nice to have Treal send you a bunch of free stuff.
