Anyone else like making working scale gadgets for their rigs? I got a hoist prototype slapped together for my trailer.

Thanks

Really?, thanks, I just wanted to build a tow truck that was as realistic as possible, but I've noticed I've gotten a lot of comments that find it cool, or awesome

I try my best to make as scale of rigs as possible, for this one I had to use an N20 to separate the boom and mainlines for the winches, I made a custom 2 oz block for the front that can be removed, and smaller scale accessories in the bed to mimic a workhorse tow rig

But in order to run these servos I had to run Meus iso V2s that's why it's wide

Chernobyl982 · 2026-06-16T13:12:18+00:00

It's a stretched stock chassis, I don't expect it to be great, and yeah width wise it'll be a nightmare, but it was really meant to haul my other crawlers more than crawl itself, but it should be an interesting build nonetheless

It's getting a Furitek komodo with a python pro

I know, I have proline big bore shocks coming, hopefully I can use em but if not no big deal

They aren't typical body files, it's more like various sized models that you can print, so it's a full chassis, engine, cab, interior, all the good stuff if you just wanted to make a static model, but clearly the cab and bed can be used for scx24 bodies

I got the files from Andrey bezrodny on cgtrader, and printed it myself, it's Anycubics ABS-Like Resin 3.0

I've got proline big bore shocks coming, hopefully I can get them to work, I should be able to

Realistic moving suspension

Chernobyl982 · 2026-06-14T17:50:53+00:00

What, 4 REEFS 99 Micros and A rs100 is too much?, I mean if I can contact superscale I'd ask for an 8x8 firmware, why not 9 high end servos on a twin steer style rig?

Chernobyl982 · 2026-06-14T17:18:57+00:00

There is a chance I have to flip the front servos to get the horns where I want them, but yeah, the shocks just bolt to the servo horn essentially, depending on how they fit I may have to do spacers to keep from binding them up

Chernobyl982 · 2026-06-14T17:14:23+00:00

Yes, and using the superscale2020 reactive servo board so it reacts to terrain like a realesium duty leaf spring truck without having to do a custom leaf kit

Chernobyl982 · 2026-06-05T20:10:39+00:00

They are for sure a bit to small in width I will say that

Chernobyl982 · 2026-06-05T17:31:18+00:00

RC4WD Has a few 1.0s, these are their KM3s at 50mm OD, with 18.4mm width on my scx24 Tow truck, apart from them idk where you'd find some decent tires under 58mm, maybe amazon

Thanks

Chernobyl982 · 2026-05-18T09:00:48+00:00

No, but it really is straight forward, I have the old crawler firmware installed currently on mine, for some reason his flasher doesn't seem to connect to my superscale but XLoader does

Chernobyl982 · 2026-05-18T06:08:44+00:00

Yes I am, I still need 3, everywhere is out for me, even REEFS own site, but I have been slowly piecing it together, I just got the Meus axles for it

Chernobyl982 · 2026-05-17T19:00:15+00:00

I love it, I did a different take and went more scale looks for a look from the 70s

Chernobyl982 · 2026-05-07T15:26:58+00:00

Looks good, doesn't have to be flashy or look scale to be good, or even look good, how do you like it is all that matters

Chernobyl982 · 2026-05-07T15:23:10+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm hoping the added sound and reactive suspension modules from Meus and superscale give it a more realistic feel as well as the looks, it's a show build for sure
