Anyone into R/C?

I don't even know why I went LGRP for my transmission either...

 

Only reason I went this route was because it was a combo deal and Cape Crawlers did a video on one, and that sold me. Plus it's red.
I checked the Furitec Grasshopper, it's just another lcg SCX24 frame, by Furitec, that apparently doesn't fit their transmission. It's intended for the stocker. There must be some centering pins or something on the stock plastic skid to hold it in place. Just a guess.
Frame will be here Friday.
Motor/esc is supposed to be Friday, but tracking says it hasn't left N.C. yet. Might be snowing.
Bulk of the kit will be here tomorrow.
Axles are somewhere over the ocean. Maybe late next week.

 

I went with the stellar trans. Matter of fact it just got delivered. I can do a test fit on the mazz skid if you need. Just let me know. I saw no mention of fitment issues on furiteks website. He looks to be running the stellar trans/mini komodo with the mazz ccv3 in this video

Weird, I watched that video twice and it went so smooth I missed it.

 

I'm glad you all are figuring this all out for me. I need to replace my driveshafts skid trans and chassis on both of mine. I just wish you all had gone with different stuff so I could hear the complaints.


I printed the ccrc scx24 wall hanger stands at the library. They came out pretty nice. Need to see where I mount them in the garage but they may work with pegboard or 3m double sided tape.

 

Don't you have multiple comp builds?

Hard to keep track in here

 

Bought a variety pack of painter's tape for creating lines/guides for painting the body.

I did say I'm going grey but maybe I can incorporate some black for a two tone

 

Noooo! I was gonna do grey and black
Grey body with black on the rockers

 

God damn this is impressive work

Edit: $20 for the STL's to print it. 1:8 scale. https://www.curvlab.com/store-1/18-scale-rc-truck

 

I do but those are the remaining parts left to be completely built out

 

Have a lot around here into the planes. Actually have an rc airport in our county and a bigger one about 50 miles south. Also had a track for the cars but shut it down.

 

@Deathbysnusnu

Coming soon for the SCX24

 

These wall hangers are great. Will be even more convenient when I upgrade the motor and esc and can use the futaba receiver and get rid of the rtr pos

 

Wonder if I could make that work with the AX24

 

Saw a post saying its a lexan body with a hard frame, excited to see how it looks when its actually out.

 

From Injora's website

 

LGRP wheels and hexes arrive tomorrow

And my links are scheduled for Tuesday

 

Small parts are coming together. I already had the RX and the servo.
Should be a motor, ESC, frame and a set of wheels tomorrow.
Tires and axles maybe by end of month.

Yeah, will prolly do this. Injora must have been watching...

 

I just had the blood blister on my thumb grow through from assembling the meus links...


I wish you all the best assembling links without damaging the small ball ends or you finger tips
