I’m interested in the crawl master esc box

Another option for 3d printed body panel gap fills and assembly is to use a 3d pen and the same roll of filament that was used to print it. In a sense it is like mig welding but with plastic. You can literally weld the panels together making it seriously strong! Cheers bud!

I'm an Alabamian. LRC is about 1.5 hours from my house. I wouldn't think our rocks are a ton different than those up north. The main difference will be that we'll be in peak tornado season when you come down, which means a lot of regular rain. Our rocks get pretty soaked and slick, so definitely bring a good wet rock tire. Most of the rocks at LRC are exposed, so there shouldn't be a ton of slick moss on them, but I would definitely be prepared for that. Most of us have really good luck with KLRs, Trenchers (Pred front/G8 rear), and even JConcepts Scorpios. All tuned accordingly with CI foams.

The hat the shirt the jacket. Try as you may! We still love you bro! You are one of the best in the scale world! Good luck at the nats. Thanks for the vids and letting us live vicariously through you!

I think it would be more fun if you locked the rear axle and ran it in class 2. Just less stress in my opinion. Those bodies are absolutely beautiful! Loving this series. Can't wait to see them all done.

Truck looks good on the class 1 tires. Can't wait to see it all done.

Those wire mounts are rad! Things are coming along nicely.

For your battery mounting, I had a little velcro strip to the truck and chassis. Even with the strap, the batteries can move, the velcro just keeps it from sliding out. I use the loop side on the batteries and the stiffer hook side on the truck.

Looking good man! both trucks are coming along nicely.

I have a better option for those Cross RC drive shafts may I suggest red liquorice laces just suck them before use. Go hardbody, love these uploads. the first truck you showed love it it is like one Jeep showed at one of their Jamborees, the body needs to go back a couple of mill to give a better clearance on full lock, it will centre the rear wheels a bit and not catch the rear part of the front fenders this is how the 1-1 get better lock to lock and a good approach angle.. I do wish the servo winch had not been thought of along with the rubber band and elastic thing with the pulley wheels and you had to use scale look winch's, would make you be more inventive. I used to see a guy with a Suzuki SJ13 and he fitted the winch by the centre roll cage and had guides and pulleys in strategic places on the cage and chassis and he could run the cable out from six different places including roof to right himself and there was not a situation he could not get himself out of. Me I would just have two scale winch's one for each end personally not a servo as there are some very capable ones out there to work from a key fob or your transmitter keeping it real. Love the builds swap the axle if you have time a better option less play and no chance your locking link will pop off under strain, hey prefer yours of Josh's but man am I getting fed up with Jeep bodies come on give us something new like your FC Landrover.

Awesome build, fan of that single cab

Both trucks are looking great! On the class 2, why not chop the top off your printed cab? Save the print and lower CG. Also, I'd just swap axles to make sure the judges can't complain.

I am Jeep man myself ! It in my blood ,,,so that being said Matt your builds ares so awesome an$ choice of a Jeep body ,,,,,love it love it! Man wish I was able go to scale nationals just see your and josh awesomeness!

Coming along nicely!! I've tried 4 wheel steer like urs but started on gt5 crawl mode and probably stay w it for now. I know Logan with WDWheeler is pretty damn smooth and efficient doing it like that but it's hard to get used to it, for me anyawys. Also I performed my first bobbing last weekend on my gen 8 axe and shortened up the roll bar. Comparing it now side by side w my other gen 8 v2 it's not that much shorter but out the rocks its like night and day difference. That boat size SUV definitely needs it. One thing tho I do miss is being able to sit on the rear-end. Now there's no warning before it flips backwards. Give and take... Thx again Matt for another unrivaled topnotch RC presentation!!

Great progress, Matt! Both trucks shaping up nicely 👍 Personally, I prefer function over form so, lexan body for me, really brings down the cg. Also, plenty of excellent lexan bodies out there that can be pointed out (and you can always add a hard body later)!

Good point!

You should design a lever and mount to that knob so you can use your thumb from your left hand to run rear steer. Many of us old comp guys have used the Airtronics MT4 for years and continue to because it came with a lever in a convenient location that allows your left thumb to run the proportional lever.

Yes, the wire mount and the box would much appreciated for printing.

Looking awesome dud!! Im woking on the muflfler made of tubing For my trail lc70 toyo

I would likely do an axle swap just to keep from having to fight the little bit of slop in the steering set up, and keep anyone from throwing a fit about it. I set up the 4ws on one of my trucks on a toggle as well as limited the amount of servo throw. So the truck is either front steer or four steer, that way there is less thinking about it and also not constantly correcting the steering of two axles. Just a button press and you get a much tighter turning radius when you need it, and regular steering when you don't. Depending on your radio you could have it set on a three position switch and have: front only, four wheel only and rear only. Hard body all the way.

Good stuff Matt! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I personally would have 3 separate vehicles set up for each class as required. I know that is a lot of extra cost, but then you could tweak each vehicle for it's own class without the stress of wrenching between classes and you can experiment with various technical set ups for each class seperately. Just my thoughts.

a skill saw is actually a pretty good way to do it. I chucked up a really fine tooth blade in mine, mounted it blade up in my vice and fed the bed across it. worked great. kinda sketchy but great. lol

Gotta agree with you, Gladiator is not a truck, it's a jeep with a toy box on the back. Have you seen Fab Rats new 1/1 FJ build? It's a serious prototype for all us scale guys to try building. Love your work, cant wait to see the jeep run class 1 As always, have fun.

love that class 2 rig so far!!! lexan for the class 2!

I would have a spare steering link setup as a lockout link to the axle and just pull the rear servo for class 2 I Really like those wire clamps 👌🏼

If the class 2/3 were my build I'd leave the cab off instead of reprinting it. Just use the hood/quarters and build a full cage from the A pillars back. Maybe cut out the doors from that warped print and use those. I can understand why you wouldn't do that though, prolly a lot more work and it might not even be legal for both classes.

I mean.... Hard body is pretty cool.... 😉 looking good so far, running smooth.

Definitely interested in the wire brackets- looks like a great design for 12ga wires Matt When I ran a C2/3 rig, I swapped rear axle. Which was a pain with SCX10 og axles. With AR44s- you're just unbolting the link mounts and unhooking a servo, way easier.

TSL’s and hyrax work pretty well at Cherokee rock village when it’s dry.

I would change the axle for sure my man

Trucks look good matt! Im gettin parts together for my c1 now. U mentioned tires, last year at ecc, the hyrax n the pb rock beast done really well. Scale nats is at the same place ecc was. Im goina stick with the hyrax on my c2 n c3 rigs. Got a set of ottsix klr m/t for the c1. That jeep truck body is pretty sweet. Im lookin gor somethin off the wall for my c1 in a hardbody. The rear axle on the c2 truck, what about printing a chassis brace that has a boss to screw the drag link to? That would lock the rear axles n save u the hassle of swappin out axles n the servo wiring. Cant wait for the next update! See yall on the livestream later this evening

Personally I kinda like the whine is produced but everyone knows what your running and become annoy by the sound...sorry off track Thingaverse yes ...Thanks Matt...

Put 1 extra ball linck on you servo horn and make a connection to the suspension

+1 for the landmines

For rear steer, could you remove the servo and then bolt the drag link to the servo mount. It would save from have to buy all the unsprung weight twice, but lower the cog

Love the body!

I feel your pain with regards to the sanding, I'm really not looking forward to sanding my SCX6 build. I've been using pva and water mixed 10:1 brushed on to my printer bed. It stops all the warping for sure.
