Optics (scale look) comes last... later.

Crawling capability comes first!

I'm working on weight distribution, shock setup, tires (foams, tire thread) and so on.
I made "kuckle weights" (not wheel weights), actually modified wheelweights with bearing) in order to have the weight right where I want it, while avoiding rotation mass!

Waiting for the overdrive gears to arrive, but these are the first results...

Thats pretty cool. Any photos of how or what you did?


Sorry, I answer so late.

I used wheel weights, drilled 5mm holes and placed a bearing inside, which keeps the "wheel weight" from spinning. A little filing on the knuckle so that I can attach the weight to the knuckle with a tiny drop og glue.


I have trouble posting pictures. Will try again.


This is a more updated video...

Same as RudyF6... I'm trying to picture what you've done. The running videos are cool and maybe helpful to someone but I'd rather see the actual mod(s) that you did to achieve the improved performance.

Sorry, but I've been trying to post pictures, but it dosn't work. I gave up.

If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed."


Where is the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon'???

Lets see if this works, this is how I do it, but it may be different if you do not pay for a subscription on this site.

Others use image hosting sites and post the image url from the site.

Looking really good!


I'd love to see a running video.


I was the first to make knuckle weights on SCX24s. I made these long before they manufactured them for sale.

I hope to do a few videos of my rigs , unfortunately at the moment I am clueless to video editing , I will be asking the kids for help soon .
