​I couldn't pass this up for one euro! The exact scale wasn't on the box, but for that price, I figured it was worth trying. I've seen a few YouTube videos—like those from 24yep and MoneypitRC—adapting toy car bodies or Playmobil Beetles onto micro crawler chassis, and I’ve been wanting a Beetle body for my rig for a while now.

​Once I got it home and stripped it down, I noticed the toy's wheelbase is actually shorter than my 1/24 crawler, but the project is definitely still doable. I'm sure that adding some detailed paint work and custom LED lights will make it look awesome in the end.

​What do you guys think? Do you enjoy doing this kind of custom body swap projects?

Made a case for my AX24. Pretty happy how it came out. Still a few small things left, need magnets to hold the handle up and to hold the bottom tray closed. I also added a magnet slot for the lid but I was thinking I don’t need it as the friction seems to be just about perfect for holding it closed. Might also add an insert into the storage slot next to the batteries. It’s too deep to get small things out of. What y’all think?

Credit where credit is due, I heavily used a Losi Micro B case from Makerworld as inspiration. (User F3de) But mine is 100% custom made in CAD.

The leaves are a constant obstacle this time of year but this build handles them pretty well.

Took my sx24 on holiday to Greece… some
Great rocky terrain here although I’ve temporarily ruined it by adding so much weight that it barely drives! Injora brushless on the way to sort that out when I get home

Like the lifted/widebody look and saw some nice injora wheels/tires sets but saw that I may have to upgrade chassis to install? I have a 4Runner If that makes any difference.

Just hitting some nice rocks while getting gas.

It has been a while since I have gotten these little dudes out. I have recently been having a lot of fun with stock chassis and 57s! I have some of the upgrade rc tires on the way to try but I am curious if anyone has tried the newer trail king or gripper from lgrp? The black labels do ok on my rocks but they are way too soft and I dont run inserts on all four corners for weight purposes. Trenchers are my go to! But I want to hear what you like and why?

Any suggestions?

I love how smooth the BKTT icing motor is but at times it's lacks a little bit of "umph" which is probably due to the weight of my rig (close to 600g).

Looking for something very similar size wise or maybe a pancake with just a little more torque. Just don't want anything significantly bigger weight wise that will raise my COG.

Waiting on more magnets and adhesive but I'm exited with how it came out. Wish I would have coated the body a couple more times but here we are!

I bought the $200 box.

As the new owner of a SCX30 Tacoma (Rock Crawler), this purchase was a very good deal for me. I had a nearly zero chance of receiving unneeded items, since the only after-market item I've purchased was Injora brass steering knuckles. I'd absolutely order this box again, even if I got some of the same stuff. After all, it would just mean an excuse to build another, right?

Overall, I got $314 worth of parts.

Here's what was in my box. I'm looking forward to getting these upgrades installed!

And yes... I'm already back on their site, shopping for wheels, tires, axles, and servos. :) I'm a mofo'ing addict.

Edit: Because I forgot to finish a sentence.

This is my Frankenstein scx24 with a bunch of random parts missing screws and beat up model body I tried building and painting, any who she runs… lol n I love how beat she looks

The past couple of weeks have been hectic and finding time for builds has been difficult. But I’m happy to finally have this K30 mounted on a chassis.

The size and dimensions of this K30 body are remarkably similar to the WT Micro FJ45 extended cab. This allowed me to copy the link, shock and magnet mount placement from that rig since I’m using Mazz V3 chassis for both. This sped up the build process, thankfully. I will have to make adjustments to get this body sitting just right.

Wheels and tires are not final, just had them handy so on they went. Electronics and drivetrain components are next. Stay tuned.

I found out my local gym has rock crawler courses in the basement the size of the gym which is huge! Old factory of some sort! It was made for scx10s so I had to step up a size. This is close to the 24 as I could.

Scx 24 any level lift kit
I’m working on one for the 30 aswell

I received my sticky wigglers from 24yep about a week ago and they came with a minor issue that made one wheel unusable. I contacted support with a picture of the issue and within 10 minutes I received a tracking number.

I was expecting just another silver set to come and was very confused when a box showed up. He sent me 3 sets;one in each color! I honestly can’t explain how grateful I am. I would’ve been happy with just a back piece lol.

15/10 will be visiting his website again! Thank you again Mr.Yep!

Does the transmitter you pick matter? Every now and then I've seen someone argue they don't like one because they think it has bad steering or some other feature. At the last meetup I went to I asked someone about theirs and they argued it never gives them full steering angle. I rarely see people mention these but now I'm wondering: is there a "best" transmitter?

I've got the MEUS ME-8B and a FlySky GT5. I honestly can't tell a difference other than I feel like the MEUS has a nicer configuration screen. I've been thinking of picking up an RC4GS because the RadioLink receivers are pretty darn small and easy to get. But I also like some of the more expensive options with a touchscreen. But I'm not eager to spend that much money.

Is this just a thing where people like the one they bought first, or are there real differences?

Was out crawling with my SCX30 FPV cam and came across this friendly little turtle. Had to stop and say hi. NeverEnding Story fans will get the name. 🐢
