Scale RC/ RC crawlers (4 Viewers)

Here's a coupla more of the FCX24m with the brass links, stainless driveshafts, brass steering knuckles. I did not want to go with brass/weighted wheels due to impact on unsprung weight, rotating mass increase, and impact on braking.

The trail system we ran is called Crucible of Death:

After scaling the Guardian to Hell entrance, we turned into Pasaje al infierno:

Navigating the Vallejo del Muerte:

And the "easy" section, Mandible of Purgatory:

This little thing crawls all right; the fender flares are the limiter on articulation (interior paint is rubbing off). And this thing has counter-rotating driveshafts, so you don't get that squat when hitting the throttle. Def not a 1:10, but a fun little rig that can easily be taken anywhere to play.

I do like those FCX24Ms. My FCX24 Power Wagon crawls great when it works... which thankfully it does now after 6 months of tinkering and troubleshooting

What kind of issues have you had?

What kind of issues have you had?

Kind of a series of issues, the exact order of which I don't recall in perfect order. Something like this: Blew the motor so replaced it with the FMS high speed motor which in turn exploded the front driveshaft, then replaced both driveshafts with metal ones which killed the rear diff, got everything working briefly then it wouldn't shift between gears so I replaced the transmission gears with the FMS metal ones which it turns out aren't perfect and the metal shift fork is too thin or something like that so it doesn't fully engage high or low, then the shift servo itself died (was literally spinning in circles uncontrollably) so finally just bought a full Injora motor/transmission and a new FMS shift servo and got it back together and everything finally works now

A few months ago I printed a free file for a buggy body, then gave it to my 17yr old niece to paint. She’s a very talented artist. Being in my 40s I naturally asked her to paint it with a TMNT theme. I gave her artistic freedom to do anything she wanted. I loved what she did so I decided to build a new truck just for it. All scx24 based parts. The chassis was designed by a friend of mine, and I’ve been doing the R&D for him. I’ve only had it on the rocks once so far, and not in its final form. That will change this weekend at the meet and greet.

I’m trying to find a ninja turtle figure to paint as a driver, and maybe add some other details like a pizza on the rear tray or maybe manhole covers over the wheels
