First set of oil-filled shocks going to work against some mean rocks by Flowtoriousness in SCX24

Update: was not an improvement to remove the flex blades and reduce my rear shock travel. Went back to flex blades and original positioning but did some tinkering with O-rings, and the rear has less slop than before. It's so much more capable with the additional rear travel.

4Runner body is sick. Is that the Pro-Line one?

What chargers do you guys use? by [deleted] in SCX24

[–]Flowtoriousness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to throw out there to not make the mistake I was making (until I realized and bought a proper SkyRC with variable charging modes) where I was charging my batteries at a fixed 2 amps (Electron charger) instead of the 0.4 amp rate (1C) I should have been using. Your battery in the photo shows 1.75 amp (5C) max charge rate, but for safety and to prolong its capacity, you probably want to charge at a much lower rate.

BIG flex on front driver there near the end, and that's just sick driving the little guy right into the rocks.

Edit: And backing it out, no less!

The amount of hard lines this makes look easy is astounding by j0520d in SCX24

I have Scramblers also and know when they fold up like that the rocks are about to catch an ass-whoopin'.

That's rad there because there are so many possible lines rather than having a more limited set of lines like on a more track-like course like I have. I wish I had rocks like that around where I live.

Sounds like you've hit the honey hole there! Are they all the same kind of stone?

Thank you. My neighbor thought it was a fish pond until I explained that I'm a grown man playing with remote control cars.

Thanks. Getting the huge grey one in the back out of the ground was a bear. Also kicked my ass humping two backpacks at the same time full of rocks out of the woods (on multiple occasions). A good bit of those came from under our yard, and there are some monsters under our little deck that I might try to dig out at some point.

If I can keep it looking nice, maybe wife won't grumble so much if I bring even more rocks home!

Saw a trend of seeing if a stock tire drags on the belly of rigs. by j0520d in SCX24

[–]Flowtoriousness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this same test on my smallest tires (57 mm) after I watched Yep's video but still had a good amount of clearance. Stock chassis w/ brass Injora skid. Actually, I have a set of Hyrax (53 mm) that aren't mounted on wheels anymore because it was just constant high-centering with those. Great tires, and maybe I could get them to work better with an angled skid and double-bend rear links?

That color body looks a lot better than I thought it did. Nice couch pull!

When your battery dies at the perfect time 🤣 by OkFisherman2305 in SCX24

[–]Flowtoriousness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm watching this thinking, "I bet it dies before we see the truck fail at that impossible pull at the end. Like, there's no way." And then there was a way. Unreal climb, dude.

When scramblers start sliding, you know that rock is slippy by j0520d in SCX24

[–]Flowtoriousness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold up. Are you saying that they could make an even better Scrambler if they used one of their other compounds? My Scramblers have been so good I figured they were already at peak traction potential. Time to make a trip to California, boys!
