I’m so hooked on the whole 1/24 scale. This thing is so capable. Matt from Dinky RC printed me this sweet tube buggy. Decased the ESC/RX.

Started out as AX24. Upgrades include:
- HR brass knuckles
- HR steering links
- HR sticks with springs removed for 100% droop. So good.
- 7mm brass hex extensions
- emax servos
- MoFo torque motor
- HR high clearance links
- Little Guy Racing wheels and tars (so great)
- old GI Joe head!

I also made my own indoor course as winter in Vermont is still long. Made the course out of recycling, spray foam, plaster wraps, paint, and moss from craft store. I also place real rocks in flat areas to easily change the course.

That's a pretty cool little buggy and I really like the drivers head too. That's also a very realistic looking indoor course. Well done. "thumbsup"
 
That little buggy looks great!

The smaller scale RC's are also my favorite. I have larger stuff, but I live in a smaller world :lmao:
 
That's a awesome little course setup. Hoping to get time ever to build one too. That's a sweet looking buggy and setup there. Think the moss idea is great. Think about that when I build my course.
 
Nice loooking rig and course! One of these would be good for the indoor season. In the summer, worm gears make it too slow to get over obstacles in my opinion. I use logs and rocks in the winter to change my course. Soon it’ll be summer again, sweeeet!

Great job on the indoor play area! Love all of the real looking scale details that you added to it! Also great idea to add real rocks that can be moved to create a different landscape.

Thank you! Yeah, an old GI Joe head was perfect scale!

Yeah, these little things have completely changed my perception on micros.

Yes, our local craft store (Michaels) has bags of fauna, flora, etc. Super cheap too.

Yes, i have a heavily modded Capra buggy that is for outdoors. However, i bet these will be fun in certain areas (gardens, camping, etc)

the 100% droop is so cool. It just sticks to the terrain. The brass wheels and portals help too.
