1/24 crawlers

[Doom!]

I bought a Komodo for the Deadbolt I am building, I know what you mean about feeling unrefined after driving a Furitec. Standard Scx24 is so jerky in comparison.

I ordered a second one. I’m going to put the komodo in one after I switch from driving the cayman to the AX24 the throttle seems so unrefined. I installed a set of powerhobby 54mm shocks was well.

That and how it bobbles around like a bobble head! I had to find shocks as well. I’m doing upgraded servos F/B and ran into the problem of the back not being straight I’m waiting on a injora alum (adjustable) steering set with a hot racing bar to get it straight.

Shocks made a huge improvement on my Ax24.

What shocks did you go with? I had a hard time finding 53-54mm shocks. I used powerhobby shocks.

I used 43mm Injora shocks, stopped the body from having a seizure every time it moved.

I tried those and a set of 48mm but the powerhobby 54mm I got the most travel I used the middle springs it sits the same as stock. We were running them today and I’d say it’s not far from the cayman. Once you put the komodo in it’s going to come alive.

I widen 10mm it as well.

So all the parts showed up yesterday. Got the mini Komodo into the ax24 with the furitek tegu24 pro this thing is crazy cool can do all different ways with the flip of the switch.

I eventually want to do the same thing. I am currently green with envy.

I ended up taking off the rock lights the tires were hitting the lights I had to cut a little body off also to make room. I was able to adjust the rear servo with the radio also so it fixed all the steering issues. I also put the deadbolt body in the cayman it fits perfectly.

We have gone 1/24 crawler crazy !! These things are to much fun. The kids love them and my one year old watches TV with his Carrie’s it around and makes the wheels turn.

These little crawlers are super fun!

Working on a portable log obstacle by wiring down sticks to jack chain and then I'll just keep layering them on top to build it up. Kind of fiddly work, I wouldn't want to do 10 of them

 

[CrashBoom]

This turned out pretty good. I ended up making just the one layer, but longer. Then I rubber-banded piles of sticks together that I can put under that so I can change it up.

It's flexible enough that you can curve it, too.

That looks awesome. nicely done. We haven’t started are bridge yet.

We haven’t started are bridge yet.

It's fun to build stuff for these things!

I have an idea for a bridge where it's rope with planks across the top, the vertical supports that anchor the ropes are mounted on springs so the whole thing sways when you drive across it.

Well done, the sticks are scaled nicely to the rc, and I like that they look more natural by being uneven.

So we’ve been driving the 3 Cayman for awhile nod and they’re awesome machines but they’re each a little different from the factory. The barebones comes with different shocks than the other 2 (they’re not as nice). The one with the motor/transmission and drive line comes with the micro Komodo and standard links the pro comes with 65mm rear links already installed and the rock guards on the pro are different then the ones Furitek sells online I put those on the others as well. The Komodo be with the micro Komodo has a little jerkiness at really slow speeds the bigger Komodo’s don’t have that problem.

If you ever need me to babysit, I'm available.

I picked out the spot where I'm going to build an outdoor course, mother nature has already seen fit to provide me with most of a ramp and bridge!

I’m working on indoor summer obstacles for when it’s satan hot here this summer!
