The usual build. Emax servo, brass knuckles, diff covers, 7mm hub extensions, China beadlocks, Mudslingers with no foams, Bowhouse RC low cg battery and esc tray, Atlas body. I moved the battery forward to the esc tray and mounted the esc to the batt. tray. Driving it on my foam RC course.

Looks great man! I hope to give my SCX24 a little love in the next few months.

This is my Mini Moab for the cold winter. Mater for scale. My daughter and I made gates out of flag toothpicks.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1f3a900639.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c5fe855d33.jpg

Re: Belly Dragger
 
What type of paint did you use over the foam? How is everything holding up? Would you make any changes next time?

Re: Belly Dragger
 
I used the textured Rustoleum. It is actually holding up really well. As of right now I wouldn't change anything. I didn't want to make it to terribly big so it was a pain to move. It doesn't weigh much at all.

I've done some more mods to Mater lately. Stretched Mater quit a bit. Deadbolt rear links and Driveline. Moved the rear links of the JLU to the front as well as the female side of the driveline. I had to trim it about a 1/4 " so it wasn't bottomed out. Had to trim the body in the grill to clear the servo/horn. Also did the Injora 050 motor swap.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7f1f53779f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c15a2116d9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e0e66d8e44.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...244e2b5175.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...202d7430e8.jpg

Looking sweet. I also like how volcanic your crawler course looks :)

Made some more changes to Mater. G Speed LCG carbon fiber chassis and swapped out Mud Slingers for some LGRP Trail kings. The upgrades were well worth it. Driving on my big rocks for my 1/10 trucks.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e727344c51.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fbae0f2a93.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ef9e0e001e.jpg

Re: Belly Dragger
 
How did you mount the cab?
Is id just the rear magnet or do you have more holding it on?

redneckwraith 04-03-2022 08:47 AM

Re: Belly Dragger
 
I used some double sided tape to mount a thin piece of sheet metal to the battery mount tray. Using the magnet on the atlas body. Then I just drilled a hole in the body and used the stock jeep body post.
