SCX24 Metal body Jeep XJ

[dottycfn]

I like 24 scale since the Losi Micro Rock Crawler. This is my second attempt in metal body for this scale. There are a lot of simplifications here compared to the 1:10 model. Glue instead of screws, no internal sheet metal stampings for the hood or tailgate. But it's cute and you can play with it in the garage, regardless of the weather conditions.

Do you ever notice any interference with your radio signal because of the metal bodies? They look killer.

Thank you. I've never had any problems. I use metal bodies on 2 Axial SCX24, my friend uses another one. All is fine.

The first snow inspired me to make a snow responsive diorama for my SCX24. I still can't decide whether to leave it raw or paint it

A heavy snowstorm hit my garage...

This is the very last run before I tear down and rebuild my interactive winter diorama.
Watch two Axial SCX24s, Jeep XJ and a 1982 Toyota Hilux with hand-built metal bodies fight their way through deep snow, dig ruts, get stuck, and leave this trail with a few more dents than they started with.

The snow is already making me feel cold!

These videos look very realistic. I love the bodies and that they dent!

Great work!!!

I'm glad. There was a lot of cleaning up afterwards.

Great work!!!

This video only shows a drive on a snowy mountain road. But I also recorded the bashing before I disassembled the diorama for the next video, and some damage was done.

I like them too. I still remember which dent or scratch came from which ride. It's a shame they're not so rare.
