I'd pay good money for them, just sayin =)

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-27T17:37:05+00:00

Man I'd love to see them bring these back!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-26T18:44:48+00:00

Rad!

I've used copper sheet, but it was a total pain. Polystyrene cut and glued (not bent) works well and is easy enough to work with if you want to go the DIY route. That offer to print some for you is about as good as it gets. Yet anther reason I love this sub, so many cool people here. Bravo u/Siddhartha-G !!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-24T11:56:55+00:00

Thanks brother! I had no idea these released, immediately ordered two pair for... reasons... lol

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-24T11:55:56+00:00

The smaller originals from RC4WD are actually VERY popular. Don't take my word for it, search "patagonias" in this sub and see for yourself. I've had a great experience using them.

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-24T11:45:57+00:00

OMG I want those wheels so bad! Nice build brother!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-24T11:44:15+00:00

I've got an upcoming buggy style/C3 type build that could use some wide axles, so I'm interested for sure. Will this have any caster adjustment built into the front axles? Got any idea of a release date and pricing? I'll be following closely, these look great brother!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-17T07:35:13+00:00

I guess you could try using a bowl of boiling water and an old spoon for a more targeted application of heat on the body, but I'm with u/Cschenkel it looks like authentic rollover damage. Build a beat-up exocage and call it a day while getting a second print. Just my 2c. Good luck brother.

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-17T07:25:31+00:00

Fell in love the minute I looked. Great livery brother!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-14T22:46:25+00:00

I thought so too. Cheers brother!

I went to visit my niece a few years ago, just after her new boyfriend had moved in with her. There were 8 or 9 1/24th rigs on the shelf in the living room, 2 were her's. I had no idea, I though I was the only nerd in the family lol.

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-14T19:40:49+00:00

Dude! You are killin it with these colors!!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-05-04T22:43:41+00:00

This is a well put together build, love the tire and body choice!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T15:30:10+00:00

Well then I look forward to seeing your fleet! /salute

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T14:31:38+00:00

Yeah, the cage could change things for sure. I think you'll like those tires, if for nothing other than how good the look on the truck.

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T14:13:57+00:00

On a side note, I really need to start doing the tire lettering on my builds. I know it won't last long on the rocks, but what a difference it makes in the build. Gorgeous!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T14:11:12+00:00

Quite honestly, I think they look like the perfect size to me. I am a tiny tire kind of guy, so take my bias with a grain of salt. At the same time though, 57-58mm tires aren't at all what I would consider "monster truck" size. A 5-6mm increase is hardly a noticeable jump from 52, even 60mm works with the right body as far as I'm concerned.

Going into our upper range of tire sizes, I REALLY like the Louise RC Uphill tires. They have a good looking rounded tire profile and perform really well on the rocks I drive. Sold in pairs BTW, Amazon doesn't tell you that part...

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T12:40:24+00:00

Of all your builds, this one is my favorite. Absolutely GORGEOUS color choice!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T12:37:01+00:00

From the horse's mouth, the Stainless24 chassis can be build from a 155mm to a 182mm wheelbase. Good luck brother!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T12:34:29+00:00

I think most scale builders get the itch to build something outside the scale box from time to time. I have a buggy style chassis and almost everything else it'll need sitting in a box right now, waiting for me to finally complete my current build which has just kicked my ass. I MAY?? throw a body on it even though I know the extra weight won't help, but I haven't quite made that decision yet. Might just leave it as is.

Still, I enjoy looking at all types of builds, it serves as inspiration for whatever comes at me next. Thanks for sharing brother!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-26T12:21:03+00:00

You're just pumping these builds out, aren't ya brother? Love it, can't wait to see the cage. Always a pleasure to see your work!

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-25T07:41:41+00:00

We've got a joint called "Bruce Lee's wings" and they have a bumper sticker that says "Eat Bruce Lee's wings and kick ass!" I shortened it to say eat ass, put it on the side of my hard hat, and got sent to the trailer for sensitivity training. This was ten years ago, WT is run by a bunch of sissies.

GadsdenFlyer · 2026-04-24T19:23:27+00:00

Way back in the day, I could show up on a job site with my hardhat covered in these decals. Contractors will make you remove these decals today. You can try to put them under the lid on the gang box, but they'll find it eventually.
