This never stops... does it? (kinda' long)

[RudyF6]

So, I have rock gardens around the house I was contemplating getting rid of, but I bought an SCX24 Deadbolt instead!!
Having a blast immediately, I decided it needed some bling in the form of heavy beadlocks and sticky tires.. Wow, even cooler!
Soon discovered the stock servo/saver wasn't going to cut it - E-max kit it is!
As long as that's getting torn apart, might as well go with hi-clearance arms and metal steering links right? Wow, I can actually drive this thing now!
But wait - been watching vids showing the slow crawl capabilities with motor/esc upgrades. Must. Have. Now. Hello Furitek Micro Komodo/Lizard Pro!!
So, with this newfound power and control, I can pull bigger tires, and 62mm Mudders went on. Dayum! This thing's really starting to work!
Getting critical now, I notice some suspension "jacking" itself up when turning tight or when front tires are against an obstacle and rears are still pushing. Overdrive gears in the front all but eliminated that, plus gave greater climbing ability by keeping the front lower as it pulls. I'm running out of rocks to stack - little challenge left!! I can walk right over obstacles I wouldn't bother trying originally - this thing's badass!
It does still tip at some extremes, so now I'm thinking LCG kit...

Pics or it's not happening lol. Gotta see this build come on now.

This is partially why I haven't gotten crazy on upgrades, keep it limited thus challenging

it really gets you doesn't it lol

i did the same thing, just dont go and buy another one to have a "stock" one because if you are like me, you'll just end up with 4 modded scx24's.......

That’s so true! One good thing is that at this scale the parts are cheap.

Yeah, but each one is a little bit different right?

Ok, I took none as I went but here it is...
Injora 62mm Mud Terrain on Treal 21g beadlocks



Stock shocks angled back and mounted to the frame. Almost all sag and plenty of flex. High tech preload spacers on fronts


Emax servo with Injora mount, arm, steering links, and high clearance 4 links. Also 4mm brass hub extenders and Treal 2/14 od gears.


Icing on the cake: Micro Komodo and Lizard Pro with Bluetooth. So cool to tune with the app and watch the little out runner barely turning! Battery, rx, and esc all on stock Deadbolt battery tray with no mods.

That looks pretty awesome man. The tires look a lot like some of the newer, aggressive ATV tires.
