I love that SCX24 basecamp. But I think they should have used the Deadbolt wheelbase and shoved that rear axle back another 1.5mm. It isn't much, but it would look a bit better in my opinion.

Nice collection there!

I agree with the longer wb sentiment for sure. I actually bought the Basecamp with the intention of gutting it for its axles and putting them in a Meus Bronco build...but then I drove it in stock form and was so impressed, I may just do some upgrades and leave the chassis alone.

The Meus MB24 kit really likes having the Meus Isokinetic axles on it. And yes, I still need to finish Mr Crawley.

Build Thread Thread 'Meus MB24 - Mr Crawly'

Jun 6, 2024

Starting a new SCX24 build. Have all the parts ordered, plus a donor truck I'll be temporarily robbing parts from. I will try to add web links to all the parts I am using on this build. Here's the parts so far.

Body and chassis. I opted not to paint this one myself, and just decided to grab a prepainted body.

Links and driveshafts needed for this are the ones that fit the Bronco, C10, and Jeep Liberty.

I won't buy RTR SCX24's any more. The only thing on the stock trucks I care to even use is the screws. They are actually really nice screws too. Everything else I would rather go aftermarket with.

Noted.

Mr. Crawley is the build I thought about doing before pulling the impulse trigger on the basecamp lol. Looks great dude. Can’t wait to see it done!

It got to a point where the electronics were something I wasn't sure what to get yet. So I am glad I put the build on the back burner, because after doing so, Furitek came out with their all in one Unity motor/ESC.

I've had my eyes on this guy for a little while
I figure with 3 broken 24's I probably have enough parts to build the mues lol

You missed the one MVRCA sold on here huh? He had a really hopped up MB24 he sold on here when he first joined.

Yep

I traded it for tacos over lunch. The micro market is terrible for resale and terrible in our terrain. Drove it for 5 minutes and was like

I did miss that but I've had to be really selective about my rc purchases for the past few months so I've missed ALL the deals

Took the 12th scale out for some snow action until I can get the VRD completed. Cold as f**k outside

 

[grgbulldog]

Took advantage of the rare opportunity, but there’s nothing good for a crawler in my yard, so I just drove it around for a few minutes then went back to ripping the granite grom my dad sent for Christmas.

I’ve taken off the flex blades since this pic was taken. Flex now sucks. Gonna get some better shock mounts

Yikes….

Never knew what I wanted to do with this body (paint, etc.) so I just went ahead and gave it a weathering treatment.

Did you print that?

Try this with a print. Buy you a small bottle of resin, like this stuff
OSBANG UV Resin https://a.co/d/1ZpeHz0

Brush it on the surface kinda heavy. Let it settle and smooth out.

Then grab you one of these UV flashlights and light the area up for about 30 seconds.
Waklyte UV Flashlight https://a.co/d/34r2tiI

You will be AMAZED at how easy it is to smooth a print with this technique. The resin sands so much easier than PLA or PET.

Note: DO NOT get that resin on your skin. Wear nitrile gloves any time you mess with it.

All these bars were FDM printed, and getting them smooth for paint would have been a real chore.
