New Project...

[HPIguy]

What do you do when you have two already unfinished projects on the bench? You start another of course. Snagged this SCX24 off Fakebook MP. Really clean, Injora steelies, tires, and front wheel weight. And came with the now discontinued Betty body that I always liked. Got paint on order for it.

Gonna be a good looking truck!

Very cool, looking forward to seeing it finished.

We'll see how this goes. Worst case scenario, it becomes a tow rig for the drift car. LOL



Printed out the Yep Spec chassis out of ABS, links and paint should be here today.

Well, everything finally showed up. Scored a Meus carbon LCG chassis setup on Prime day for $24 (3D printed ones just weren't stout enough for my liking), which came with links, driveshafts, and body mounts. Also doing Injora steering links, Injora overdrive in the front axle, Injora brass skid which allows me to flip the trans for motor forward for weight distribution, and Meus CVD drives up front.

Made some good progress last night, started here…

Tore that down to just this

This stuff is tiny LOL

Overdrive installed with some Red ’n Tacky

Trimmed the housings for more steering (cleaned the cut up after this too)

I called it quits at this point last night. Just gotta do my electronics, and paint the body and it’s ready to roll.

I swear this was clean when I started.

I swear this was clean when I started.

It's still clean compared to mine!

That chassis kit is a helluva' score!

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

Excited to see how you paint up that body.

That chassis kit is a helluva' score!

Yes it was!

Excited to see how you paint up that body.

Thanks, gonna try something a little more advanced on this one, at least for me.
