My first 1/24 build. SCX24 MEUS Bronco build!

[ferrebee88]

I picked up an SCX24 C10 from a member on here. I bought a body/chassis kit from MEUS RC and went a bit overboard. At this point I have decided to leave the C10 stock because I like it just the way it is and build a brand new 1/24 from the ground up! Any advise will be greatly appreciated! The only thing I haven't settled on yet is the transmission and motor/esc combo. There are so many options between Furitek, Hobbywing, MEUS, and many more, so input will be appreciated!

Here is what I have to begin with. The 1.2" wheels and tires might be a bit big but may work out since I got the wider axles.

I also picked up a tiny hex driver from Amazon. There is no way I'm using an Allen Key for this! My hands couldn't take it.

 

[ferrebee88]

So far so good. Man, these screws are so tiny! Most Itty bitty chassis I've ever worked on.

 

[ferrebee88]

That looks great with all them stickers!

Looks fun cause yer the one dropping those tiny screws right now,lol. I have a Gen 1 c10, and a jlu monster truck in the scx24 platform. Both are great....upgrades and maintaining them have me swearing and ready to throw it in the bin now and then. My hands are shot though.....

Wera driver is great. I keep my stored in HF magnetic tray, with other drivers (MIP) and keys

Looking good!
I freakin love Meus stuff. Their prices are very good for what you get.

I've seen a lot of guys running 1.0 tires on the 1.2 wheels for a lower profile tire. Thats always an option.

What are you using for a servo and motor setup?

I ordered a MEUS standard servo.
As for the motor, I ordered the Furitek unitydrive combo

The bigger wheels/tires actually dont look half bad. I definitely need to do some shock adjustments... that baby rides high

 

[Ritz413]

Good to see meus get good reviews. I have not used any of their products yet, but have 2 of their servos on my bench...somewhere

It's currently a Monster Mues! You aren't kidding about sitting a little tall. Gonna be a cool rig when you get it finished up.

Some like em tall, some like em slammed

Mine just keep getting lower and lower. Yet ground clearance is higher and higher. Strange huh?

The meus builds looking great but your right that sucker is UP there time to angle those shocks and possibly some shorter springs

 

[ferrebee88]

Oh boy... now I just gotta figure out how to mount the things..

 

[ferrebee88]

Well, the MEUS Bronco body is not very compatible with the Furitek 2-in-1... back to the drawing board...

There's a Dremel for that

Getting there. I removed the cross member to see how it will fit. I will custom something up

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

It's look great! Love Meus stuff. I think just getting that body a little lower and it'll be awesome!
I want their sound speaker for my LC80

 

[Ritz413]

The wheels And tires look great! The rest is good to, but those immediately stand out to me.

 

[ferrebee88]

Slowly getting there! Boy a 3d printer would be nice! I cut a piece of plastic off an old traxxas battery hold down and used a file and dremel to hollow out a channel I it. The stock velcro mount had to be removed due to the unity 2-in-1 motor. 1 step closer! Now I need to come up with an electronics/battery tray.

You could flip the skid around and just have the motor facing back instead of front. Seems that would allow it to clear the meus body.
