SCX24 Carnage Build

[WickedFog]

Little redesigning.

 

[Doom!]

Gonna be cool, And lots of room for stickers!

Just gotta figure out the suspension. I think it's getting the 3 link bar from the Deadbolt, and some 3d printed leaf springs. Or maybe I will do a cantilever 4-link. Now that would be sweet.

That's going to be awesome. Looks very cool so far.

Got a jack printed to mount to the front of the trailer. One of the tougher things I have ever printed, just because it's so tiny.

 

[Doom!]

Nice! I'll bet @Tunedpipe could make 'em outta popsicle sticks.

So cool I want to get a 3d printer but it’s a lot of work to custom build the stuff I know I can download pre made designs

Actually, I have...

Well, I just installed the PN Racing motor in the truck. It has a sticker that you use to mark where to hack up the ESC plate, and you mount the motor forward. The problem with that is you hack off the driver side rear ESC mount boss, which is also needed to keep the front shock mount from just rotating and twisting the plastic. This is a very dumb idea.

So ruined ESC mount was tossed. Fortunately I had another one. Even if it did work, it basically left no room up front to mount the battery or ESC, so you're not gaining a thing by flipping the motor. So I just flipped the motor to the back by flipping the crossmember.

That poses another problem though. Where to mount the battery? Because the motor is big enough that the battery will no longer fit there. I am starting to not like this PN Racing motor.

So I am left wondering what to do now. I think this PN Racing motor is going to go in the comp crawler and the Carnage will just get the Stinger as well.

 

[Doom!]

Some plans just are not meant to be.

 

[WickedFog]

It will actually be a decent setup for the comp crawler. So at least it wasn't a waste of money

 

[WickedFog]

Sorry about the terrible lighting, but I got the roll cage and front and rear bars painted black. The copper/gold idea just wasn't doing it for me. Waiting on links and wheels to finish this build.

Sliders make great battery mounts, just sayin

 

[Doom!]

Black works better, good call.

I just pulled the axles and gearbox to mount the carbon rails and PN Racing motor. And I need to order some RDQ batteries for it because the motor eats up a little real estate back there. Going to have to print a new battery tray for it too. I got a bunch of Hot Rscing goodies coming for it soon.

 

[Addict Rc]

Nice

Which ones do you use? I bought some from RC4WD, but they are made to mount to their inner fender kit, which no way am I going that route. It's what I get for not reading the description.

I just grabbed some cheapo printed ones from ebay or amazon

Nearing completion.

Looks amazing. Totally jealous of your printing capabilities.
