Scx24 4 linked & cms
 

Not to impressed with the rig but decided to give it some love anyway.
Only used what was in the spare parts bag some styrene tube & 2 losi micro screws.
With that I was able to bump the front out 10mm & 4 link it.

Front lower links become the new uppers & the smaller set in the parts bag became the new lowers.
Pop the balls out of the stock lowers & put them in the new lowers from the bag.
Then use 1/8 styrene tube to fill the new uppers were you removed the balls from.
Two long Losi Micro Crawler screws to attach the uppers on the axle side. All other mounting points use the stock hardware.
Took 12mm out of the extra shaft in the bag.

Side note:
This mod will not work with the stock shocks you must use longer ones up front. I am running sumo shocks on all four corners.

Nicely done! What wheels are those in the top pics? Are those RPP wheels??? They look awesome!

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

Awesome work as usual Don. I had a feeling someone would eventually use those extra parts to lengthen the front
Those are the GearHead wheels sold at RPP

They look better in his pics than on rpp site. Cant wait to get a set!

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

Thats a nice mod, I actually found my Y links are rubbing the drive shaft when I go one direction (the other direction moves the U joint and it clears). This would be great for getting rid of the rubbing as a nice side benefit.

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

Thanks worm & spoo! Can’t stand Y links.


That’s due to the crappy tolerance in the case at the worm gear. Then they tried to bandaid it with o-rings :lmao:
I believe they will start locking up & start burning up electronics soon as those o-rings go. That worm gear up top has to sit in the sweet spot on the worm wheel down below. If not your in for some serious binding.

Try grabbing a wheel & spin either direction look at the output shaft while doing so. It shouldn’t move in & out like that mine has little run time & the shaft moves out about 2-3mm.

Wish axial would have made either delrin or brass shims to fix the issue instead of o-rings.

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

I know spoo will remember these rims! Wish I could get my hands on a few more sets.

Nice mod.been kicking that idea around as well.whats your next move for these rigs

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

Thanks for the run down "thumbsup" I noticed the huge amount of play but I've never ran worm gears before so I wasn't sure whether shimming was normal or not.



Time to print some plastic shims I suppose, I'm guessing they should go inside the housing?

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

I noticed the same tolerance issues. Especially the slop in the transmission outputs.

Thanks bud!
Fix the sloppyness in the drivetrain "thumbsup"

Never had to shim any of my losi’s. That is correct on the inside where the o-rings are sitting. I’m going to turn down some delrin shims next.

I’m going to change the name to Sloppy Crawler X24 :lmao:

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

No more sloppy steering thanks to some brass & sumo steering hardware.

The gearhead wheels are in stock at rpp. But these are a different rim I wish CAC did another run of these.

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

So I was thinking the same thing about the CAC wheels VS my GearHead and Googled CAC wheels to try and send an Email asking if they would make more.
It seems that while they are different looking wheels GearHead owns the CAC line. I guess that means the GearHead style are the closest we'll get.

Thank you. How’s RC4WD tires around the wheels recessed channel? Good fit?

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

They fit and look great. With most tires I don't even glue the tire and they don't spin on the wheel

Thank you Spoo76. Of the two old reviews on RPP’s site one said RC4WD tires didn’t fit well.
It was from 2015 though.

Thanks for confirming. Ordering mine now.

Re: Scx24 4 linked front end
 

Some of the RC4WD will need to be glued. I can't recall what does other than rok lox. MiClaws, Scramblers, and SCX24 Nittos, and I think even my Goodyear MTRs didn't seem to need glue
