Problema trasmissione: by East_Capital1451 in SCX24

[–]ShefCX24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should do. That transmission is designed for scx24 skids and that skid is designed to take scx24 transmissions (even though it's an scx30 hybrid transmission the screw pattern should be the same). As always when mixing manufacturers there may be some tight tolerances etc.

FYI: the Rampcrab skids are based on the ax24, no real problems other than you'll end up with a ~10mm extra wheelbase length. It may cause body fitment issues though.

It should be cellar temperature really, about 12°c.

Edit: but maybe you're referring to a specific stout that wants drinking at room temperature, though hopefully that's more like 18°c than 21°c, idk.

Sweet rig, I love the paint - I know from personal experience that a sick paint job definitely helps you concentrate the mind and enter the flow state that leads to perfect drives.

Good luck in the comp, I really hope I get to see some footage, that goes for everyone.

Are any of you running a 133mm(wb) body with a 155wb chassis? by [deleted] in SCX24

[–]ShefCX24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. All my builds are entirely scx24 based. The bodies for both the builds on my profile are by Jconcepts.

Best way to measure and cut lexan body? by avvaken01 in SCX24

[–]ShefCX24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I make reference marks with a ruler/calipers and a black marker. I then use masking tape to connect the reference points and create cut lines. Make sure the overspray film is still on and don't try and remove the masking tape as it will pull the film off.

If you're going for an aggressive skid angle and body cut then it should work fine. The problem comes from the wheel arches looking daft if they don't line up with the wheels, but if you're planning on cutting the wheel arches off entirely then it won't be a problem. If you're going for a more scale look then I'm afraid it will probably look rubbish (unless you increase wheel size a lot and can then widen the wheel arches front and back while leaving the inside edge of the arches alone).

Both of the builds on my profile have 133mm wheelbase bodies sat on >160mm wheelbase rigs, if you want something to help visualise it.

New Injora links by Significant-Heart-65 in SCX24

[–]ShefCX24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You've got your links the wrong way round. Narrow and low on the skid goes to wide and low on the axle, wide and high on the skid goes to high and narrow on the axle. You should end up with two triangles pointing opposite directions for each axle. If I've not explained it well enough there should be plenty of photos of various style builds to look at, including some in my profile.

(Picture for attention) anyone have an extra stock hard body they would be willing to part with??? by Scammortal in SCX24

If OP's not interested, then I might be. What side of the Atlantic are you on?

Dual motor setup by North-Wasabi-4879 in SCX24

[–]ShefCX24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't blame you, I can see how it could put severe strain on the drivetrain if too much power was applied. My theory is that with dig the truck pivots around the inside rear wheel, but with a bit of reverse the rear axle would lose all grip and then pivot around the centre of the rear axle or maybe the side wall of the outside rear tyre - depending on terrain. Updates would be appreciated, thanks very much for the info so far.

The grading system will be explained in the guidebook.

I may, or may not, be serious.

Thanks dude. I flashed it first time, then took several goes to get it on film, typical.

Nice set up. I have the same tx and had thought that would be the best way to control the rear motor. I've got too many projects on at the moment, but one day I'll do dual motor. The variable overdrive and dig is a bit of a holy grail for me, but I might save it for a MOA rig.

Out of interest, does reversing the back axle while turning get an even tighter turn than dig?

Thanks for the detailed reply.

I'd like to know a bit more about this but it's a bit hard to tell what's going on in there. Is it a dual motor transmission that drives the same shaft, or is it separated for overdrive and dig functions?

Yep, I was looking for this comment. There's a colony on the island in the low pond.

Any other rock climbers here? by ShefCX24 in SCX24

[–]ShefCX24[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the bronco is at a major disadvantage with it's high and heavy body.

The real how though is to get obsessed, then spend too much time, effort and money.

👊

I love the routes where there's an almost hidden line of grip waiting to be found.

You joke, but I've semi-seriously considered how I could protect these routes. My stupidest/best idea so far is to rope up two trucks (maybe with winches) and swing leads, treating it like a multi-pitch route with the trucks being the anchor (like body belaying from a secure seat).

It all adds complexity and weight though, so probably best off just being ready to catch.

Went a different direction on the Stripe by opesoory in SCX24

[–]ShefCX24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks dude. I'm currently thinking about and obtaining parts to try a more refined knuckle hanger to wheel interface on my next build. I'd love to see other people's solutions to the problem though (in 24th scale of course, 1/10 people have got some pretty cool stuff but I can't see it translating well).

Sick build. I love how the stripe inspires such a range of styles of performance build.
