Build Showcase Scx24

[Doom!]

I would have to swap those phillips for hex heads on the body, but that's just me, and purely cosmetic. Came out really nice, and I like the blue and green links.

Thanks, I am in and out of my hobbies so much, spent all summer and till recently working mostly on the dirtbikes, gave it a shot at woods racing last year, didn’t do great, but had tons of fun, that community is very welcoming, just like you guys. So had to check it out. Probably just enter a couple races this year. Here is the Willy scooter

Esc just clears, I don’t think I need the flex blades

Pro steer down!!!!!
Snapped a screw, at first thought, no way, how am I getting that out? First thing that worked, exacto knife, came right out. Back in business.

I wish these 24th scale parts manufacturers would get a clue.

Can you order stronger screws?
Because I know this will be a problem, if not when I get it where I want it, I am drilling and tapping every hole I use.

Yeah, there is a seller on Amazon selling M1.4 screws. They are decent quality, and I have bought and received every size they offer.

I saw one of the aftermarket companies selling some black oxide ones too, but I can't remember who it was now.

Here they are. I gotta try these. Grade 12.9... that's the good stuff.

Thanks man will definitely be buying some. I don’t think these screws they give us can withstand much after you upgrade from stock. I have broken 4 screws since the start of this build, one, I over tightened and three, were while driving. So this will help tremendously. Thanks again

Made some trays for esc and receiver, got er all tidied up, cut a slot in the interior so you can see the fat viper operate. Got the white steel bead locks, and injora s5 rock terrain tires on the way.

My next build is also getting ready since I bought two different chassis for this, I will be going to go for another. I ended up using mofo ugly af chassis for this one and reusing the venom 3d printed chassis for the new one might go for the short wheel base since I have extra links we will see. Will be a build thread coming!!!Also hoping to do more to the capra going brushless. Money will tell.

It has all changed, I do like the motor front facing but no room for electronics in the front then. I want to do a similar video, like it is now. Maybe tonight after work.
