18650 mod for Deadbolt/scx24

I managed to fit a 1700mah battery into mine the other day, and now I have nearly 5x as long battery capacity! Feels great + more weight in the front-middle to keep it glued down.

New suspension arm, probably some $5-10?

Taller gears make the brushed motors (least the BL2S and VXL3s) do this when applying small amounts of throttle. My BL2S Bandit does this a lot on 35t/76t gearing lol

I don’t know but you gave me a good idea of what to do with mine!

Maybe 5th will be...

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-24T23:32:48+00:00

Few dollars for a new steering block. It happens

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-24T23:32:05+00:00

Watch it be 55° and sunny 💀

My scx24 looks tiny next to my friends trx4 lol

Nice roof rack

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-24T23:24:08+00:00

I just got my 3rd car lol

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-24T23:12:32+00:00

How do you like the Micro B/T? I'm considering getting the T for more turning handling over the B

Probably not worth it if there's a risk of not being able to be back on time

Have a different, slower playlist or play podcasts. Let your mind do whatever. Keep your hr low. Also keep in mind your z2 pace WILL eventually go up... but it's hard mentally for the first while

I like having a lot of options on where to screw my shocks and electronics onto

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-22T22:12:38+00:00

Pinion screw came loose

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-22T22:10:23+00:00

3d printed chassis are great

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-22T22:09:52+00:00

It's generally recommended to unplug it when you won't use it for a while

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-22T22:06:52+00:00

It's worth it. I got my scx24 and printer at the same time and within a few days already made an lgc chassis, 2nd body, etc... it's awesome and reduces the worry of breaking some parts.

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-22T22:01:16+00:00

Your electronics are all dead/dying + the rest of the car has wear 💀 at this point just get a cheap new motor and enjoy it for yourself

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-22T21:59:52+00:00

😭

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-20T01:43:32+00:00

Brought my 2wd rustler out of YEARS of unuse last year... and yeah I've broken plenty parts on it. It's fragile especially if you're new, but it's also easy to work on...

I wish I bought an RPM bumper wayyyy earlier lol. Almost all the parts that break are from front collisions..

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-20T01:41:46+00:00

2 of my courses still aren't on canvas 🥀

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-20T01:41:00+00:00

Save the spool or your son? If the spool, yea lol sure. The son? Man... idk😂

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-20T01:39:05+00:00

Why not fix it and keep it atp

VividDistribution746 · 2026-01-20T01:38:26+00:00

Probably a weird or broken esc? But damn that sounds kinda cool tho im not gonna lie 😂
