| SCX24 Free Mods
I picked up an SCX24 to use as an inside crawler with my 5 year old twins. I looked around and didn't see many ideas for free things to make the crawling better. I was pretty underwhelmed with it stock. I did a few things to make it crawl MUCH better. Now it's actually pretty fun to crawl with. I made a YouTube video to show pictures and the process of what I did. https://youtu.be/X7EfzK9SBI8 If my pictures don't work in this post you can see them towards the beginning of the YouTube video. 1. I flipped the rear shock mounts and moved them forward giving the shocks much more angle/travel. 2. I also moved the front shock mount to where the receiver tray mounts. This also gives the shock more angle/travel. With these two changes it runs more of a droop setup because it makes the stock springs really soft. I may do some testing with firmer springs, although it crawls really good now. 3. I spun the battery tray 180* and this allows the battery to sit lower and forward more. 4. I pushed the front bumper in one hole and clearanced for the servo horn to give a better approach angle. 5. This wasn't free, but it made an improvement. I bought the Mil Stone wheel spacer/weight kit from eBay. I can't wait to get my servo mount, rear shock mounts, and lower cg receiver mount from Shapeways. Then to order wheels and tires at some point... |

I like some of these ideas, most of my current upgrades have been looks as opposed to function, but the battery tray reversal boarders on genius... Element Sendero 1/10. Crawler/Trailer. Scx24 crc. Crawler 1/24. Wltoys a212. Shortcourse 1/24. Wltoys k969. Drifty 1/28 |
