SCX 24 Deadbolt on the way

She'll make any obstacle flat after you get those on there

Awesome

Awesome

Oh man, I may have turned you onto wheels that won't fit those tires. I just looked and the ID may be a bit bigger on the RC4WD tires. I did not realize that. I printed my wheels and got the diameters from other designs on Thingiverse, which may or may not be a tad bigger.

I have a buddy with a printer, do you have the link for the wheels you printed on thingsverse?

I just picked these up. These should work, going to give them a call and cancel the other wheels.

I designed my own. I can send you the files of the two designs I made. PM me your email address.

I have looked around, but I’m so new half the time I don’t know what I’m looking at . They were a little pricey, but hey I can’t take it with me.

Those specific wheels are that price everywhere. There are lots of people making wheels for these trucks. Treal, Powerhobby, Integy, MrAluminum, lots of Chinesium ones, etc. So there are lots of other choices.

That is 100% true sir. I wasn't trying to say don't get them.. get them by all means.. I was just shocked at the $$ on a 1" wheel.. I like them they are sweet.. sorry I'm flabbergasted by it

RC4WD has some crazy prices. But they do make nice stuff.

Oh yeah for sure. wasn't disagreeing. Was just shocked when I opened the link and saw the $$ for a 1" wheels thats all... I think they are sweet looking wheels..I would think about getting them as well if I had a 24.

Here’s the wheels installed, man they get some good grip. Had to replace the servo as the one that came with it would not even move. Added brass wheel hubs, brass diff cover, and brass rock rails. It’s coming along!

And, so it starts.

 

[Doom!]

Awesome! My green deadbolt has really similar wheels.

 

[WickedFog]

Looks awesome man. Those rock rails really dropped it down didn't they! Mine sits a little higher.

Yea going to have to figure a tighter spring or a new set of shocks. I haven’t found anything yet.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Hell yeah bud. Nice you definitely deserve to have some fun as well.. Can't wait to see the new addition This is definitely not the group of guys to be hanging and talking to.. we encourage buying of parts and of complete RCs kits.. As we all have very big problems/ addictions when it come to the RC hobby. guess she should be glad that they are just 1/24s... and not
1/10 - 1/5 that's when the $$$ really starts to fly out the window

I get it, 1/5 is draining my arse. My wallet looks like 1/24 scale anymore..

Man that looks sweet.

Adding the brass to the chassis will raise your center of gravity, making it tumble a little easier. Will probably perform better being low like that. I am pretty sure Pat_ranch pulls his springs completely out of at least the front shocks for a full droop.

It sits low, doesn’t roll too easy like it did stock, but then again I only ran it on the rocks out front of the house a couple of times before I replaced everything.

That's good. I need to get a front diff cover for each of our trucks along with the steering knuckles. What servo did you put in?
