Build Thread Willy’s 3rd scx24

[Willy0942]

Well here it is, my 3rd SCX24, starting out and probably staying gladiator length, Diamond Rc Arachnid 24 chassis, very steep skid, so hopefully will be a mini beast, injora links, meus iso axels with under drive in back, furitek venom motor, and lizard pro esc, and you know me who will know what the body will end up, I do have a Blockhead body from PrintHub/etsy? Wheels and tires in first pics are not staying just so I could mock stuff up while waiting on parts.

Just an idea of what it may look like.

Love that body. What is it?

Blockhead body from PrintHub on etsy, a dude named Brandon King. He also made the Toyota body I have. But blockhead doesn’t quite fit the steep angle of the skid, I thought it would. I will be trimming.

Looks great! I think it should be quite capable!

Got the drive shafts in today and my skyrc corner scales, she is sitting at perfect wt. for my rocks. Now it’s time to fit and paint that body will be doing that after work at midnight

Made one run before work today on the backyard rocks and already better than the others. This thing will be a little beast. I got the new rockbump tires, also got some double bend links, was going to make them, maybe the next build.
What I am learning with these small trucks is going to help with the 1/10s. I need to re visit the ridgerock and everest10, I think those could be way more capable now.

It's a lot cheaper to do your learning on the small rigs, well ok maybe not!

Body fitting complete, now what color.

this is the hardest decision of a build.

Yeah not sure on that either these things can cost you a fortune if you let them. But they no way need it to perform, if you have a little ingenuity. But looks sometimes wins over performance, and the looks is what will get you in the moola department. Some of these rigs on Facebook I see they want what they put into it. Good luck. Unless you’re famous. I could make three for the price they want for one.

Paint, some sticks, and fake roll cage, waiting on the rims, and double bend links. And trim body to fit sliders, definitely going to be my best 1/24 crawler not sure on the window bars yet they may go

Has a bed cover also, but may add to much wt to the back.

As I can’t sleep, it keeps getting more!!!

Ok. This is by far my favorite build of yours, and I love all of them. Very badass looking truck man.
