Introducing the Micro Shark by Mod19RC! The Micro Shark is a true 1:20 scale Pro Mod style rock buggy conversion for the Axial SCX24 chassis consisting of 3D printed parts through Shapeways. The Micro Shark is an all new design that combines true scale with performance. It is designed to accept all the stock chassis components and electronics from the SCX24; integrating with the stock steel frame rails to keep the chassis rigid and legal for Axialfest. It can also be used with longer aftermarket shocks, and space has been provided for other electronics if preferred. The Micro Shark conversion consists of several 3D printed parts, all purchased through Shapeways. Different hood styles and bodywork will be available in order to create a unique look. There is also a scale electronics cover for the back that replicates a fuel cell and a drink cooler that can be added. Oh, and don't forget the interior! A full interior is available that has suspension seats, dash, steering wheel, center console and shifters. There is even a start button and kill switch! This conversion is centered around scale! Visit the Micro Shark section of the Mod19RC Shapeways store for more details about everything needed to do the conversion. Currently I am offering both a Samurai and a FJ40 style hood and bodywork to go on it, with a Jeep planned as well. Here are some pics. The Sammy is painted up and finished. The FJ is assembled raw with the parts as they come from Shapeways. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Feel free to post any questions, and thanks for looking! |

Looks great, nice work! What does the SCX24 weigh in at after the conversion? I've been very focused on dropping weight or lowering the CG on these little guys so weight is an extremely important factor for me. Last edited by HumboldtEF; 09-26-2019 at 02:57 PM. |

Nice job! Thats a nice low number ![]() My stripped down/modded SCX24's come in at 277 (deadbolt) and 285g (Toyota hardbody truggy) with battery. I think the heaviest thing I've added is the Protec servos. |

It's not bad. I tried to keep things as light as I could. Never expected it to work like a pure comp truck, but certainly didn't want to kill performance either. The front is pushed forward 10mm, so hopefully that will help some with climbing.

| ![]() I did the same thing. I bought a Deadbolt SCX24 and then immediately got onto ShapeWays and ordered everything. No Ragerts here. Following SBG and Mod19RC’s instructions definitely improves the quality of the build and handling the prints with a little more care. For the interior, the seats, transmission tunnel/dashboard and a frame crossmember all meet up with a single screw. It’s best to screw it together from the bottom unless you have a very long flexible #0 Phillips head screwdriver. I found a random small screw (probably from a long lost Losi Trail Trekker) to hold it all together. |

I randomly found this on youtube when researching the SCX24...and now I need it in my life. Just loaded up the cart with all the parts :-)
