What upgrades have you done to your 1/24 axial scx24??

I 3D printed high clearance links. You need to find the correct files for your specific SCX24, I found it on Thingiverse.

Just got a deadbolt for Christmas. I ordered the treal steering linkage, a new servo with mount to fit it, the brass widening hexes and brass steering knuckles. The only other thing I “plan” to do is a barrage 050 motor.

I was actually eyeballing the exact same body. Looks great on the 24 bro!

Bought it as a model car to put together before I even had the axial. Painted it bought the axial and decided I liked the look so trashed the rest of the model and used the body. Turned out good

This is my 78' GMC "Hard Knocks". I went with the 9g brass knuckles, 4g brass hub extenders, HD shocks and some generic soft tires. I've replaced both battery and motor, but only with standard models. The main addition is the Revell plastic model 1978 gmc bush truck body. Decided to go dented and rusty! Lots of meticulous detailing with heat, paint mixing and texturing. Custom roll bars and some other small things. I got rid of the battery tray all together and fixed the battery to the bottom of the bed with velcro. The tread hits the body just a tiny bit when flexed, but it looks so good I don't want to cut the wells... Haha. Any way, this is it. Hard Knocks..
Happy crawling!

I never should have read this thread, now I'm thinking I need to build one of these little guys. Amazing looking trucks Grenfellorama and Bada$$c10!

@NCNitro For less than the cost of a high end servo, you can help support an SCX24 from a lonely existence on a store shelf. Wont you bring one home now, to share the love, and let it experience the joy of a loving home and family of rc cars?

My philosophy is tough love.

@NCNitro Stop be a little pansie and get one already, so you can hang with the cool kids for once in your life!
