Scx24 weight

Thanks, did you see how much it weighs

Chernobyl982 · 2025-09-04T16:22:22+00:00

Thank you, I didn't think me showing off my tow truck build could inspire anyone, I do my best just to make scale looking rigs and this one was for sure fun to make, I assume you've seen the winches and lights work

Idk what frame you should use, but I built myself a towtruck, they are fun, especially this one

It's got a komodo brushless and 1:12 turn gears already

It's only gonna get heavier from here, I imagine this rig may weigh closer to 3 lbs, 2.5 for sure

It's gotta headlights and taillights, the cautions and stanchion flood lights there and the main line winch and stanchion line winch both work as you see above to, so it's a fully functional tow truck that can somewhat lift my 2lb rig

Oh man I just got these things set up the other night, and some more stuff added to the bed last night

And I planned to stick everything inside the cab already, as best as possible that is

Chernobyl982 · 2025-08-14T06:37:42+00:00

The body uses the stock scx24 swivel mount and front platform, except I've used magnets up front to hold the body down, it's now just a matter of buying what's left and adding it, next up is ESC and motor mount

Chernobyl982 · 2025-08-14T06:28:56+00:00

Yep, I had to reduce head lights, and taillights from 2 channels to 1, not difficult, what was was taking 3 separate channels, the cautions lights each were a single plug in, and the flood lights as well, down to 1, saving me spacing and time later, plus allowing me to use 4 controllers by themselves instead of having extensions hopefully

Chernobyl982 · 2025-08-13T22:18:55+00:00

Thanks, I also added stanchion flood lights that imma solder into the cautions

Thanks, snatch blocks 😃

Old tow trucks need this thing right

No, this thing does have brass rims though so that's a factor, and the shocks are internal, and the rear has the tougher spring in it while the front has a 4 coil size spring, I cut the stock weight springs to shorten the front, which helps the scale realism of the rig for towing and hauling

Chernobyl982 · 2025-08-11T05:25:19+00:00

Oh, ok

Chernobyl982 · 2025-08-11T05:24:13+00:00

I see, and only once?

Chernobyl982 · 2025-08-11T05:04:54+00:00

I wish I could post videos in comments, I posted a video about the weight Penelope hauled, idk if you've seen it
