Hi viewer,
I'm Joe and I really like rock crawling with 1/10th scale trucks. It's still a new hobby to me but I've decided to start documenting a lot of the tech, tips & tricks I've learnt along the way. I've also started filming a "Beginners guide to rock crawling" as I found it hard to get started.
I tend to get out most weekends but often I'm having too much fun and forget to film, so I'm trying to get better at that so you can see how my trucks and my driver skills are progressing. I've got a GMade Komodo GS02 (which is now quite custom), a Traxxas TRX4 Sport which has been put onto a NWSD Scattergun V2 chassis as well as a Traxxas TRX-4 Mercedes-Benz G500 which is completely stock (apart from the essential metal servo horn) to use as a baseline truck for beginners (and as a backup in case my modded trucks break!).
Please let me know in the Discussion tab if there's anything you want to see and I try to respond to all the questions on the videos!
Hope you enjoy my content!

3D Printed RC Crawler "Foams" with flexible filament ... they actually worked ... amazingly well!
Yes, it really does say 3D Printed Foams in the title, and yes they really are made out of flexible filament. I couldn't believe how well my crawlers worked with them either and looking forward to testing them on my trail trucks as well.
If you want all the benefits of a soft foam with the hard sidewalls of a closed cell foam, both at the same time, then these definitely work!
In the video I put them in some Pro-Line Trenchers but some of the footage is from testing them in JConcepts Landmines too, I just forgot to call it out on the video.
Let me know what you think in the comments?

Going crazy painting a new shell! Airbrush paints without the airbrush ...
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 роки тому
I decided my LCG Crawler needed a new shell as the chopped up Dodge Ram 1500 (Modern day power wagon) shell wasn't cutting it. So I decided to get a Mon-tec Rock Body and some Pro-Line airbrush paint and do something a little different. It made a complete mess and my fingers were about 6 different colours but it turned out better than I expected and I love it. I hope this video gives you a bit ...

I was very lucky to get a surprise Axial SCX24 for my birthday and I thought I'd take it out and see how hilarious it would be bog stock and then do my normal thing of tune and upgrade until it's almost unrecognisable. It actually turned out to be a really capable little thing. It does have a few obvious flaws like floppy shocks and a bit of a weird battery placement, but otherwise the servo on...

I 3D printed a crawler shell now all I have to do is put it together!
Переглядів 3,1 тис.3 роки тому
I felt like I was missing out since I'd not tried driving a hard body crawler. So I went off and found a nice Dodge Ram from the 80's and digitally pinched, bobbed, doved, shaved and chopped the arches. It took a lot of sanding, brushing, superglue and hot glue to get it together, but I think it was a pretty cool experience and definitely one I wanted to share. #justscalin Get crawler things I ...

Rambler @6:30!
Love the video, thank you! Little sound tip-windy conditions have a bunch of energy in the low frequencies. To reduce wind noise, use an equalizer to remove bass from the audio. A high pass filter works best. If not equipped, pull down the sliders on the left of the EQ. Cheers
I love that mercedes body,im wondering if it could be used on trx4 sport high trail
Great build and video. Will this chassis support the stock TRX4 skid?
This essentially makes the primary spring softer once it gets to that point, correct?
How did you attach the suspension and manage to get the inner fender off? I was going to do this on a new body, but it appeared as if the lift kit I put in it a long time ago, attaches the shock straight to the fender. Did you cut it or?
do you have product link to the bearings
Would this work with internal spring shocks
Very helpful video! thanks!
Where is the link to the file?
I added width. Now i'm working on adding a touch of weight. It's expensive and I'd rather not spend the money. I was thinking brass up front and aluminum in the rear.
That’s not a trx4
It is, he's literally stripped everything off it, including the floor and the fenders making look like a diff truck. but its a trx4.
Great video and new sub. I’m new to 1/18 crawlers and these adjustments are super pronounced. Torque twist management especially
what a beautiful video ! thank you very much ! sub 👍
Great Video, At last someone who understands the correct balance, friction and weight.
Your entire method in the rear is completely opposite of how anti squat works. Using a 1:1 drag car with a 4 link rear end as an example, raising the rear of the upper links and/or lowering the front of the upper rear links creates anti squat and will actually lift the rear under acceleration. This is what drives the front axle down. Our crawlers are no different.
You’re right. I’m surprised it took 3 years for someone to comment who knew better. I learned about anti squat from watching videos on 1:1 vehicle geometry which inspired me to design and sell rear link risers for the scx24 and CR18P that mount to the rear axle. I’m going to try one on my trx4, but I’m skeptical that petg is durable enough.
Put also a black one on my Bronco chassis. A little bit of trimming on the inner fender, put the original bumpers and the side sliders on and crawls the same like the Bronco. Why not? The same chassis and the body is lexan, no heavy hard body. The body is just a shell...
Hi there, awesome videos, not just this one! I wish you did not stop recording! Anyways, speaking of lightweight wheels - anyone got a suggestion for 3D printed 2.2 beadlocks? Thanks!
Good information!!! Thanks😅
Where do I get the files to print this?
What is a high-pitched squeal is it the FC or is it the motor
Very good explanation. Crawling requires thought and patience.
Looks like someone barfed on your body shell
sorry but where are the stl files of the model? there is no file related to this project on your thingiverse........
What type of filament would be best for bumpers?
have to agree %100. Got into small scale trail/ crawling over the past year. Mainly trail running, trying to climb and side hill id slide down hill.
Printing out some of these as we speak - I take my Capra in water occasionally and squeezing out foams is a big ol' pain in the butt. I like that I don't have to worry much about water damage and I can just drain them.
What material did you print in?
Great info thank
What size hair bun thing did you use?
Id love to pick up Benz body and throw it on a TRX4 Sport chassis. May even take off the portals and make it an ultra scale overland vehicle.
So basically the answer isn’t more weight, it’s more weight in the front
Watch the right line first!

Best spring mod video i have ever seen!! You explain this perfect!
You say the filament Was?
How if I only using inner spring from pen, not using outer spring anymore?
Great video helped a lot for a beginner
What’s the best size to use in 1.9 wheels and it’s a heavy ish trx4 thanks
I like my chassis a little higher for clearance, then use 1/4 oz adhesive wheel weight around the inside of my rims. So I have decent clearance heavier wheels, and battery pack low over the front axle
I find it not how far the front unloads but how much the rear loads n squats that reduces your climbing angle. Doing the spring mod in only the rear may work better with the front normal but a low preset. Any amount of overdrive helps also.
I really appreciated this!
Nice. Thanks for sharing brotha. 👍
This is a great idea for a video series, and well executed.
Can it be put in a brushed rustler?
missing the videos man!
Your car works amazingly well. Very nice!
Miss your videos buddy , hope all is well and life is treating you favourably 🎄
