The installation of the roof rack is about right for a Jeep build. Things don’t line up and screws weren’t long enough. 3-5x attempts later you finally get it on. That is about par for the course.

Hahah. Isn’t it though!

I’m a bit late to the game here, but here’s where I would start from where the video left off. 1. Relocate the accessories, ditch the spare and gas cans, move the recovery boards to the front of the rack and crossways too, move the hi-lift to the hood hinges, which will protect it and move the weight forward. 2. Pack the front bumper with tungsten putty for a pinewood car, maybe even tuck the bumper as far in as you can too. 3. Servo, steering links, and mount, aluminum or brass mount with the servo of your choice. I have 2 Deadbolts that have the HR Aluminum EMax compatible mounts and links and I’m working on a Microshark conversion that has a Samix brass mount and a 3rd EMax in it and will be getting a 3rd HR link kit (in route RN). 4. Wheels and Tires, aluminum beadlocks and better tires, the 2 Deadbolts are running Yeah Racing beadlocks and RC4wd Patagonia’s and the Microshark has Proline Hyrax and will be getting RC4wd Black Rhino wheels, which are coming with the 3rd HR steering link set. 5. Look at shocks, I have the stock size HR shocks on the Deadbolts and the non-telescoping long travel HR shocks on the Microshark, though I may get sets for the Deadbolts once I can see how they work on the ‘Shark.

It looks cool with the roof rack & spare tire. It did hurt the performance pretty bad though. The knuckles did help. Might try brass diff covers which will give you a little more low weight. I’d say steel bead lock wheels but I think the added rotational weight along with the total weight will make the battery short lived. The 1st thing I o to mine is swap out the servo with an Emax.

I fitted some scale accessories from CChand on my SCX24 Jeep including roof rack, side ladder, rear spare wheel carrier, side mirrors and inner fenders. It was purely to improve scale realism of the rather basic standard Wrangler body rather than buying a new hard body Bronco. The result is worth it I think. The inner fenders are also good at keeping dirt out of the chassis. The CChand parts, especially the inner fenders with multiple mounting holes, all lined up perfectly so it was a quick and easy install.

How is your motor and steering servo holding up?

Performance is nice, but for me personally the looks are just as important - it's about scale adventures. Also, carrying a heavy rack, plates, spare fuel and a spare wheel would have a detrimental effect on performance on the real thing as well. As for the sagging rear, you can use o-rings or zip-ties to increase the preload on the rear shock and this will partially offset the imbalance. My first SCX24 is in the mail on its way to my house. I got brass wheel inserts and diff covers along with it but I won't install these immediately - first lets see how the stock set-up does compared to my Carisma MSA-1E.
