You have Got to bring back this body!! That’s so freaking cool..!!
Ps: motor was a good touch.
I was serious about purchasing the engine piece.
Super sick print man!
That 3d printer! I told myself to not buy anything else and finally set up the printer!
Hey! thats my design on thiniverse! im really glad to see some people getting use out of it! it was insane to see something so small only avalable on shapeways so i decided to draw it up since i had the ability to. my main goal with it was to add some room for high clearance setups to work with lots of flex. the added climbing angle helps too! great vid! Ill be sending you out some of my "McCue RC Mantis High Clearance Links Steering Behind Axle Kit" soon!
Do you have one made for the 1/24? This one started as a 1/10 model and I scaled it down etc. Be much easier if there’s already one available in 1/24 scale lol
@@2fmrc no, the link riser is my design, but the hot rod body is badass!
@@William-McCueRC oh nice! Well we really appreciate the time and effort you put into it!
I got some of those links I need to install them into something🤣
Hi William! For those of us in the cheap seats, just starting out, could you explain the principles behind what raising the mount location does and why? I'm interested in the reasons behind these sorts of things.
Thanks!
The body is AWESOME! I love the engine/servo cover. Need a bed to complete the pickup look. That would look so good as a rat rod!
Thank you for putting a descent surface on your incline. Bravo Sir.
Love the second truck. I thoght the rear riser alowed more articulation when running high clearance links. I did not know it helped with climbing angles also.
I love the hot rod body. Nice work.
Love the rat rod! You've been watching too many Danny Huynh videos lol. All you need now is a skull head with a cowboy hat 🤠
I've had my pro's for a little while. I originally mounted them on my tetra24 but when I got my Gladiator, I knew which rig they was going on.
Great primer/sanding job on that body! Night and day!
Excited for this one! Have been waiting for someone to test this on video 🤙🤙
I really like how that body turned out. Well done, Sir!
Those tires are sweet looking and I would like to get a couple of those link risers
Looking forward to the next tire comparison. Lots of new choices in the last year
Dude that body is awesome.
That body looks sweet I like how it turned out
Very cool. I really like that new body style
Definitely like the body, you did a nice job. Been running the ProX for a couple days & liking em so far, kinda thought cuz they look awesome that they wouldn't perform lol, but not bad so far on indoor course 🙂
I need that hot rod body. It looks so cool
That’s sweet I dig it
Hey Matt, love the Munster Build. Those T-bucket tubs are awesome!!!.....You are going to like those Mickey Thompson Baja Pro X tires. I just put a set on my gladiator and they hook up awesome. I have the exact same set on my 1/10 Gladiator and those hook up just a well. The lug set up allows them to find any nook and cranny and just keep going. I hope they work out just as well for you as they did for me.
I have these weighted rock sliders for my jeep gladiator on ebay, they're 3d printed and look really good and i didnt think they would help performance but they actually make it more stable!
Very nice build 🚀💥 Both trucks 🔥🔥🔥 Nice video 📺👍
Nice, please put the body and engine on thingiverse.
Just to toss an idea out there, if you like this aesthetic. The satin black on that body looks awesome. Would be cool to take a fine gold Sharpie or paint marker (Or 3-hair brush and paint if you're rea lgood....) and pinstripe it out. Sort of like old big iron machines like steel mill powder hammers or factory machines. Would be kinda cool having the mix of the newest tech 3d printing with that vintage tech machine look.
Just a thought. :)
Nice vid, good info 👍
The printed body is sweet
I love that new body! I'm running the RC4WD Mud Slingers on my 3D printed SKP Engineering low CG frame. It does great for my neighbor's spray foam course. Video is on my page for anyone interested. I need to check on springs I can mod to suck it together instead of pushing for clearance. I have the Gladiator and Chevy, as well for different build styles.
Interesting. I have the Mofo riser on one of mine. I didn't do an A/B comparison it's one of those things where I wondered if it made a difference. Looks like it does.
And I'm going to add my voice to the chorus of people wanting this body and motor servo cover!!!!! Please tel us if you're inclined (or allowed) to print and sell these? Or provide a print file once you are happy with your tweaks? Would it fit on a mostly stock Deadbolt?
Love it! What battery did you use in it?
That body is sweet anyone make a lexan body or just curious how does the resin printed bodies compare on weight and strength cause I'm pretty hard on mine the stock body holds up well I think that would be a cool video idea to do a comparison of the 2 materials
Looks like it helped. That looked steeper on camera...like 70 degrees.
The printed body looks badass! Can we please call this an off-rod? :D
That’s perfect!
@@2fmrc I have a quick question since I'm fairly new to the hobby and upgraded my c10 a little bit: How difficult is it to install the furitek micro komodo?
I know that you already made a video about it and i probably checked out your entire channel. 😅
But everything is pretty new to me and i really don't want to mess up my c10.
Thank you in advance! 👍🏻
Love that body. There a way to get one without a printer? Been wanting to build a slammed 2wd scx24 rat rod and would love this body for it.
I really need you to make this body for me lol I've looked everywhere for a 18th or 20th scale I thought might work the 1/24 seems to narrow
Where u get the ray rod body
Really like that hotrod body! Interesred in letting one know the stl files?
You selling those bodies man?! I’d like one. Just don’t own a 3D printer. Thanks.
Can we get bodies like that printed from shapeways? I don’t have access to a printer.
Not that I know of but I haven’t looked in awhile.
Did you really gain a degree? It seemed to walk up the ramp without the riser. Seemed to struggle quite a bit as you increased the angle with the riser. I'm wondering how much better you could do without it.
Yeah it’s honestly so close that it’s hard to tell. Not enough gain to clearly say it’s better with or without imo
I'm so frustrated. I got the scx24 and ran it stock and absolutely loved it. Then I started seeing all the upgrades, and started buying parts. Spent a bunch of money, and nothing works. All these youtubers show these parts supposedly just bolted on, and their rig performing so well afterward, but I buy a recommended servo and a bracket, bolt it on, nope. Servo flanges hit the frame, don't work. In the bin. Buy telescoping shocks, bolt them on, add some spacers to get them out from the chassis a bit, try it, nope. Suspension don't work anymore, everything binds up. Buy high clearance links, bolt them on, everything seems grand, get the body back on and try it all out - nope, suspension don't work now. Interface everywhere.
I just wish more youtubers were honest about stuff. All these parts probably work fine on a full custom build, built around them, but do what they pretended to do in a video? No way. They edit out all the frustration and extra work to trim the chassis, polish all the pieces of those shocks to get them to not bind, do whatever to address all those interference issues, etc, to make it look like they just bolted it on and crawled over Moab. Not possible.
If you don’t like to customize your trucks and work with them to get things working then I’d suggest another hobby honestly. Should of been around when there were no aftermarket parts even made for these things and we were bolting up anything and everything we could find that was even close to the size of these trucks. That took some work! These bolt ons are simple but yeah they do require a little set up. I kinda figure that’s a given if you really want performance. Most things are pretty simple with these little guys for me though. I usually try to address any issues I come across (in my servo swap vid I think I even mention I cut the tabs off to clear the frame) it’s not something I always do though. Just if it’s hitting because of the links (wheelbase) I’m using etc but my truck is different from every single other persons out there so if I don’t have the same issue as you I can’t address it.
@@2fmrc don't get me wrong, I'm not dogging on you. I'm just venting. The servo in question was an ecopower, can't remember who recommended it now. It's definitely something for a custom chassis, not a bolt-in deal. Sticks out far enough that it needs a lot of mods to make it fit, including ditching the front bumper (jeep jlu)
I know it's just accepted that if you upgrade anything you need to do a ton of work sometimes to make it work. I just wish the other youtubers wouldn't minimize that, because there are several channels where they act like they just bolted something on and hit the trail, when it actually turns out to be an all-day project.
Peace, my brother - you're doing great work with this channel, and I greatly appreciate it. Just wish I had found your channel first, before some of the others 😂
This trend goes in all genres, too, not just RC. From camera gear to DJ gear to RC to automotive to investing. This is the age we live in now, I guess.
I like the printed body!! I am thinking about getting a 3d printer are you using pla or abs? And what printer are you using?
I used pla on this one. Using the Ender 3 V2. I’ve had great luck with that printer. I now also have the Ender 3 S1 and a resin printer. The resin is insanely smooth and detail is amazing but things made on it are kinda fragile. The v2 blows the S1 out of the water for me. It’s so much more consistent and just works better. I use the S1 to print flexible material like the ninja flex for anti foams for my 1/10s etc but other than that I don’t even use it.

@@2fmrc Good stuff man! Thank you! I been looking at many printers I might just go with the ender v2 !
@@backyardr.c.channel4732 it definitely takes some getting used to and trial and error. I was so ticked at first that I couldn’t get a good print I almost gave up on it. But once it’s dialed in it’s more consistent than my S1. That thing will print perfect one print and garbage the next lol. The v2 once it’s leveled and good to go I can print for wks without messing with it again. The resin printer definitely is the easiest to set up and go and hardly ever has any failed prints but the parts are pretty fragile.
N ice work. I gotta get my 3d printer all set up so I can do cool things like you are doing. Where did you get the files for the link riser and the body? did you make them yourself? Great video as always!
Thingiverse. The body started as a 1/10 file and I scaled it down and trimmed etc. The link riser is already made for the scx24!
@@2fmrc cool thanks for the info
Hello from V&b speed a new rc community..dude those rigs r sweet✌️just dropped new rc drag videos #2022Drags
That body is badazz! What chassis is it on?
Where did you find the motor files to print? Nice rig 👍🏻
Thanks! It was a 1/10 file on thingiverse and I just scaled it down to fit.
Why does the front left lift up like that in an incline, ive seen a lot of people where this happens. Can you prevent this from happening?
Touque of the motor and worm gear axles. The rear end drives closer to the front, shortening the wheelbase and raising the ride hight and that makes it easier for the motor to torque the chassis in the direction that lifts the front left wheel. Overdrive front worm gear set will prevent it. It makes the the front wheels spin slightly faster than the rear to keep the wheelbase stretched out
Nice vídeo…where can i get the file for that sick body??🤟🏻🙌🏻💪🏻🔝🔝🔝
Perhaps I missed something, but I’m not sure you actually proved anything because you didn’t run the first vehicle w/o riser at the steeper angle. It doesn’t seem like the first vehicle was at its limit on the one and only run you showed.
It wouldn’t run any steeper without the riser. I tried before shooting. It was basically maxed at that point. That’s why I started there. They don’t really do much of anything honestly. Maybe a tiny improvement but not anything amazing imo. I’d rather have a chassis with upper link mounting positions to make adjustments than a link riser.
@@2fmrc This is such a great video and I love that you did it. This is the only video I’ve seen like it. However, I’d have to see the other vehicle as well to establish some level of scientific validity. Let’s see a follow up video for us doubters lol!
How do I get that body?
It’s a 1/10 file on thingiverse. I just scaled it down and trimmed it up some to make it work with the scx24.
nice 1st like but 2nd comment. jaja. great video as always dude
Sweet body do you sell those?👊
We need those made from aluminum
I agree!
@@2fmrc I’m only about a month in and I’m about ready to buy a mini cnc machine 😳
@@cardboardcrawlersrc8805 let me know if you start making parts 😆
@@2fmrc gotta dream big. I dunno. Happy Fourth of July by the way 🎆🎇🧨💥🎊🇺🇸
This hot rod is so bad add
Thanks! It’s probably still my favorite body lol
