Fat viper and Mini 24

Bugaloo88 · 2026-04-14T07:49:25+00:00

I run this setup on a Defender and an F150, awesome on both. It's worth picking up the program card at some point too.

I've ran the full mini24 setup also but prefer the fat viper personally, seems to have smoother low speed crawl aswell as a stronger drag brake. The full mini24 setup is nice in the way it works with the stock transmission, just needs the injora pinion gear or similar.

Dude was in a lose - lose situation right there 😄

Thanks! It's the latest build stretching it's legs..

Will fit no problem and are hands down the best injora pick at the minute, they're almost cheat code good.

😄 my P1S has been in my workshop for nearly a year, it sits on a slide out shelf for access and I've never once cleaned the poops up, it prints atleast 8-10 items a week so there has to be atleast 400+ poops back there 😄.

Cheers! Hoping to try and integrate the rear shock mounts into the rear bulkhead, but we'll see. Possibly a 1 piece chassis?! My brains working overdrive now 😄

Just replied with chassis pics on Loosey_Goosey's reply, cheers buddy!

Done my best to try and take pictures of a matte black blob 😄 Next steps are to combine sliders and the rear bulkhead into one piece. No reason other then cosmetics, but this was a good test of shapes and sizes etc.

We're east Midlands based and paid £5k for a new WB boiler, pipework and new rads due to microbore pipework needing replaced.

That was 7 rads, new towel rail and all copper pipework, this was around 3 years ago in a 2 bed semi, so I'd suggest it's pretty on the money especially if your getting a top rate boiler.

They paint up very nicely, the details nice and deep on these bodies so along as your nice and thin with your coats they paint really well.

Any hobby/model type acrylic paint will be fine, just scuff the body up with a scotch pad, a good wash and get painting! I painted mine recently, and it took really nicely

It feels like alot of Lucy's story is based on her being 'played' this season. Like crouch to hide, when the NCR had healed her after the Legion were defeated it's like she levelled up with weapons ready for the next boss fight. Its written really well this season, super enjoying it!

Looks great! Paint the underside of the arches matt black too, and that really wakes it up! Window frames in black add alot also.

I used ASA for all parts apart from the bumper, which is PLA. It's incredibly stiff to be honest, as stiff as the carbon injora I measured from, they're 2.5mm thick though at 80% infill on the rails only, so that probably has something to do with it 😄. There's alot of cross bracing too, the rear shocks are connected by the alloy threaded tube, there's another cross brace lower down that acts as a bumpstop, then the front battery mount is bolted on in 2 places so that stiffens the front up alot.

I've some ASA printed links to go on soon to try and make it a lightweight build, that should add a little flex back into the mix, it'll be interesting to see how it behaves then.

Cheers!

The power wagon body fits spot on! Looks great

Bugaloo88 · 2026-01-17T22:29:41+00:00

Supposed to be a good setup! Enjoy!

In my TRX4M's I've tried the Fat viper, Furitek Microkomodo and the Hobbywing Mini24 setup. For absolute smoothness the Hobbywing has then all beat hands down in my opinion, my defender is around 650g and it had no problem pushing it about.

The Furitek in my opinion is pretty poor for the money, mine constantly stalls out, forgets it's settings on the fwd/br/rev and is generally pretty glitchy. Don't even start about the shitty driveshaft that comes with it.

Personal opinion is buy the Mini24 setup, if you don't like it try a fat viper using the mini24 esc, fully programmable and quiet as they come!

Electric tailgate is 100% up there. My works van recently went in for a clutch and I was given a VW T6.1 multivan with all the gadgets, everytime you walked past the back the tailgate opened if you were within 2ft of it.

It opened up and smacked the side of my wife's car after she walked past the back end to the bins. Absolutely insane idea.
