At the moment as I look around on the bench, I have 5 unfinished projects.

1. Currently on the bench is my Element Enduro which is getting the FJ Cruiser body makeover.

2. Element GK-Knightrunner. Still need lights installed and and interior bought for it.

3. GCM J2 Skeleton with the China 2 door Jeep hardbody. It needs body work and paint and a roll cage made for it. It's been on the backburner for about 3 years now.

4. GSpeed V1-C1 build that I really need to finish! Still needs fenders flared, body painted and electronics purchased and installed.

5. NIB Gatekeeper Builders Kit. Saving this for this winter. It may get a Toyata X-tra cab hardbody. Still undecided at the moment.

6. I guess I could add that I have misc. 3D printed trailers that are printed and need put together. Also other misc. odds and ends that need finished!

Update on these.

1. Element Enduro FJ Cruiser nearly done, just waiting on me to add lights to it.

2. Element GK-Knightrunner - still needs lights installed and interior.

3. GCM J2 Skeleton - same state as previous. Thinking to myself that this may never get done!

4. GSpeed V1-C1 - same state as previous. Getting ready to bring it back into the garage.

5. NIB Gatekeeper Builders Kit - still new in box!

6. 3D printer is going to be busy this winter!

7. New future build - Vanquish VS4-10 Builders Bundle Straight Axle Kit NIB. Still working out the details.

8. Traxxas TRX-4m - On going upgrades. Waiting on light kits to be in stock.

And if nobody buys my tf2, I’ll have that dive into eventually

I am sure that as I think about this and type it, I am going to affirm that I NEED a bigger/better work/storage space. I guess, or at least to clean up the one I got...

1. Atlas 6x6 - It is getting a new motor/transmission, ESC and Rx. I need to do some stiffening up on the flatbed conversion, as the side panels seem real flimsy.

2. Swap the new hard body over to my daughters SCX10.2 ( I gave her the body last Christmas...) and swap out to her 3D printed purple skid.

3. Swap the blue 3D printed skid on to my other daughters Gen7 Pro.

4. Work on the same daughters WPL C24. I think I am going to drop a metal axle kit in it (already purchased) and do some work on the steering, which is severely lacking.

5. Finish the body mount and clean up the wiring on my wife's SCX24 C10 that I gave her last Christmas.

6. Panda Hobby 6x6. This one is getting stretched, bigger tires and a hard body. The 3d printed wheels and body. The body I purchased is extremely rough and I cannot imagine how much work it is going to be to get it to look nice. This might end up as one of those tattered truck builds...

7. My heavy weight SCX24. Lots of aluminum and brass and small tires, not sure what body I am running yet, but it has a Surpass outrunner motor and a Furitek esc.

8. FCX24 – Stretched with aftermarket wheels & tires. The rear shocks are binding and I need to look into that and decide what I want to for the rear. Keep it caged, or modify the bed that is available to work with the stretch.

8. CEN F450 Still sorting out what power plant I want in it. Currently it has a Hobbywing 3300kv and it is WAY too much motor. On the ESC, forward is set to 37.5% and reverse is only set to 25%. The Throttle EXP is set to -35% on the transmitter. I am unsure of what motor I want to run, but it has to have lots of torque and a strong drag brake. I have some fun 3D printed items to get installed as well.

9. Yeti Jr – I blew a front axle shaft the last time I drove it and have not gotten around to fixing it.
10. Gen8 AXE – Well not really an AXE anymore… This is a continual project until it finds its forever body, as well as tires and wheels…

11. Axial AX10 – This one is a hot mess that I started working on when I bought it used in December of 2021. I have changed out a few things and once completed, this one should be a little spyder monkey. I swapped in some AR60’s, high clearance links and some 2.2 Deep Woods tires on skinny wheels.

12. Vintage MRC Thunder King (I think) – Nothing special, but getting sand paddles for the rear and a ski conversion for the front. It should be a fun one to bomb around in the snow. Especially given the fact that we have received about 4’ of fresh snow in the last 10 days…

13. Tamiya TA01/TA02 F150 – getting a bunch of aluminum installed, small street tires and a 60’s Mustang body. It should be a fun cruiser once completed.

14. A Large Scale custom build. Custom steel frame rails, XTM X-Factor Axles, custom links, Traxxas Summit Transmission. Not sure when I’ll get back to this one…

15. Looming in the distance – Narrow axle SCX10.2 fitted to the Carisma F150 body, sitting on 4”(ish) tires.


Un-started Projects:
Element Gatekeeper Builders Kit and have the IFS Kit for it as well.
Axial Capra Unlimited Trail Buggy Kit
WPL B-16 KM 6x6 Kit – Metal Option. One tan and one green.
WPL C24-1 KM Kit – Metal Option
Axial SCX24 6x6 – Lots of parts ordered and just sitting in a box waiting for some attention.
Axial Bomber RTR – Still new in the box and up for sale locally.
GoolRC MN99s RTR – Still new in the box and up for sale locally.

I have a traxxas Revo 3.3 that I converted to electric then started to TRY to convert to crawler…… terrible idea

[grob23]

Currently awaiting my attention:

TLT 6x6 project (it's a roller!)
SCX10.2 Ford (needs paint is all)
1.9 Wraith (just gotta finish the axle swap)
2.2 OG Wraith (ready for electronics and paint)
Berg V2 (needs machining work, etc.)
Traxxas Bandit (needs paint and electronics)

and lastly

1.55 SCX10.3 Van project (needs all sorts to be complete)

I keep telling myself that I will find the time soon. Maybe 2023 is my year? The year of getting things running

[Stomp]

I have two on the bench that I am working on. A Element Endure Builders Kit 2, and a custom build that I am designing and making a lot of my own parts for.

[chevyjlewis]

I am at negative one right now. Looking to pick something up

Got a Gspeed G shot just waiting on a receiver and warm enough for paint, Scx10.2 builders kit and a bunch of upgrades in the box ready to start assembly, and a not so unfinished but new Arrma 6s notorious with a bunch of upgrades to be installed.

I’m new to the RC crawler world , I have 2 , but I have to ask if they are ever complete ? It seems to me like they can always look or perform better that what they currently are .

[Panther6834]

Just as with custom building computers...no, they are never truly "complete"...lol

[NWCT24CRAWL]

And while there are incomplete projects , some of us are thinking about our next project.

[IronArcher]

Being brand new, and only owning 1 car, that would make one incomplete project

Nothing earth shattering, new ESC, new servo, new links, new wheels/tires, new shock oil, new body.

Incorrect. It's not "one incomplete project"...it's "an incomplete project that's the precursor to many more incomplete projects".

I do pretty well keeping it to one at a time. Currently this guy waiting for parts to arrive in the mail.

I don't have enough workspace allocated to rc for multiple cars to be in pieces so I generally finish a project before getting into the next one.

[NWCT24CRAWL]

My workspace is the kitchen table , let’s see how long it takes the wife to throw me out .

That's better than what my "workstation" was before moving out of San Jose...during the night, it was called "the bed that we slept in".

Currently I have one incomplete build at hand but it's more of a "haven't started yet" than an incomplete build. I have been gathering/buying/collecting the parts to build up a Cherokee hard body (with rear roll cage) that I will be putting on an old X-Trail flat rail SCX10 chassis that I have laying around. I pretty much have everything needed except for a motor, esc and steering servo. Shooting for a fun trail truck with this build. Will probably start putting a roller together in a couple weeks when I have a bit more time to tinker.

[IronArcher]

New steering and lower links in
Shock oil replaced
New wheels/tires
Rough fitting bodywork (yeah, I need to cut out shock towers…..and probably fenders on the bed)

@Panther3864
Yeah, you probably are right!

That, and I need to make more “garage space” doing all this work in my “Ham shack”
