The UDIRC Snow Leopard

[TeknoJ]

Well now. That is saying something if Amain is selling parts for this little guy already.

I also spoke to Helidirect about selling them. Kinda surprized they don't already, as I told the guy I was talking to. They said they are going to look into the UDI stuff.

It appears Amain already carries a ucx24 but it looks like the fcx24 harvester from fms. Parts look the same.

The music...
Truck looks like it goes pretty good!

It’s very good out of the box.

I finally ordered a new axle shaft and fixed this thing. The new shaft is much beefier, I should have ordered 4 of them.
New injora 1.0” aluminum beadlocks with some xhx pins.

It looks great!!!
You should have got a bunch of hop ups for it!
Put it together all nice...
Then mailed it to me for safe keeping.

Now it's go time!

I installed some injora 40mm big bore shocks on this thing. It was a pain in my neck. The hardware is made for M1.5, like SCX24 stuff. The UCX24 is all M2 hardware. I had to drill out the brass bawlz for a 2mm screw. The shocks are perfect length though and they look great. The stock shocks are ok for all plastic shocks, they just have way too stiff of springs and one of them was constantly leaking. I opened one up and lost a microscopic O-ring so it just got worse. In the future, I will probably order shocks for a Hobby Plus CR18-P like I did with my T-Hunter and slap these on the SCX24.
I found some 1.0" inserts to print and put those in. They are softer than the foams.
I have yet to really test this truck after these mods, but I can tell you this, it isn't exactly a rock crawler. It's more of a trail truck/ bouncer. It's just too fast and doesn't have a strong drag brake. It absolutely needs a drop in pinion teeth. The trouble is, I don't know the pitch and don't really want to tear it apart to sit on the bench for months again.
So far, a worthwhile addition to the stable!

I feel ya, I need to drill out the 10mm hex extenders for my T-Hunter because they don't fit all the way down on the axle. Where there's a will there's a way.

You can't get the appropriate ones for your axles? I'd use a reamer if you can. They won't walk around like a drill bit will.

Feeling impatient, don't want to wait to order more.

I need a set of reamers, when I was using the drill bit I thought of this exact thing.

I don't want to wait for those either!

This is a sweet little sand crasher.

We lost a shock spring perch yesterday. I contacted injora on Amazon to see if they sell them separately

That's CRAP!!! Throw that thing in a box and ship it to me before it gives you any more trouble!!!

Usually I put a dab of E6000 on these things and I didn’t this time. They felt pretty secure. For how fast this thing is, I really should have!
I’d hate to have to buy another set of shocks just to get one spring perch for it. Then I would have a useless set of 3 shocks
