@@SevenWelt thanks Seven!

@@CK4RC it sure is. I bought some Ascent 18 shocks to try on another rig. I might throw them on the FMS and see what happens.

@@D.Avis-gh5wq it’s pretty easy to do too as long as I don’t bump the camera :). Thanks for your comment.

@ciborg86 thank you for your time Sir.

@@CK4RC agreed.

@@SevenWelt thanks. It was fun to have a chance to compare two box stock trucks. They don’t stay stock for long.

@@MrsRabbit8 those suggestions were spot on.

Looks like I’ll be building some links for it soon.

@ciborg86 looking forward to it. Thanks for your time.

@@johnlujan8706 thanks for commenting. I’ve run some very heavy brass wheels on a stock rig and it handles it just fine. The added weight slowed it a little on climbs, but stability improvement was worth it. Axles are stronger than 1/24 Axial rigs so I’m not worried about breakage.

I will have some more comparison videos coming up so subscribe if you want to see them :-)

@@MysticRiverRC ha! You watched until the end :). Magnet mounts have their pros and cons indeed.

@@SevenWelt thanks Seven. I got out early in the morning. Very hot here. More videos from this location coming soon,

@@johnlujan8706 Thanks! Have a great day!

Hello Seven. I checked out your channel. You have a new sub!

Glad you like it. I got a lot of good video yesterday. More to come!

Ha! I love that comment. That’s hilarious:)

Thanks! I have more scale improvements in the works.

Thanks. I do love how it drives.

It’s a wrap. My first ever. This was a good body to learn on as it doesn’t have deep inlays or sharp corners. Also, camo is very forgiving.

Thanks. Please subscribe:)

It’s easily my best crawling rig. You won’t be disappointed. I have made quite a few changes to lower the CoG. Most of them are easy to do.

Thanks very much for your comment. I dove head over heels into this hobby last year and am having a blast. I’ll be sure to try some hair bands or something to see how this rig does. It already has the best suspension of any own and I’ve hardly touched it. I enjoy your videos by the way. Thanks for sharing yours with the rest of us.

I did find this. It could be mounted on the outside of the radio, with the joystick at left thumb position, and the receiving components on the rig. This could control two servos, maybe 4. Maybe there are smaller boards available? On YT, this is a basic outline of the setup: "Servo motor controlled by Joystick using Arduino & Transceiver - Wireless Connection" That's all i could find for options other that my initial comment. Just thought i would share this too. Mostly just a curiosity for me, i don't have the expertise to do this, guess i could figure it out but the programming is not fun for me. Lol Anyway, if you could give me your opinion on the options i asked in the first comment to help me make up my mind, that would be great, as those are easy to be done by simply plugging into a servo channel. Thanks again, i appreciate your input as a fellow tinkerer. 😊

Build video is coming soon :) used to have a sail boat I ran with a two stick radio. I took it apart and removed the centering spring so it would hold the rudder steady. Your idea is totally cool. If yours is a four channel radio it should do exactly what you want for the leveling. It would run 3 servos and the ESC indeI’ve seen others run two stick radios to control front and rear steer independently. Flysky wheel radio (G7P among others) should work well too as they have extra proportional controls on them. Of your 3 I think I would start with the squat. Pull the nose down when climbing. Will look forward to hearing how your project goes.

​@@ciborg86nice, okay cool, I'll try that one, i can make it squat down to pull in the shock travel so it will not be able to unload, then have normal height, and also lifted because the thumb switch has 3 positions. Should be good! Also, i can do all that with one servo i think but probably go with two. Using a cantilever type design, already have the parts. Waiting on x15 axles and chassis.

It’s kind of a Frankenstein build. It’s is SCX24 chassis and transmission. Uses FCX24 portal axles. I made custom links to make it all fit. Also has several custom parts for shock mounts and battery/esc trays. I will do a build video in the next few weeks. Thanks for your comment!

I’m loving this build! Had to design and print the body mounts. Will make the files available for free on thingiverse when I’ve tested them.

​@@ciborg86 nice! Body mounts are not my specialty, and clean wiring im terrible at. Im still trying to get ahold of Akers about when theyll have the komp king chassis in stock... theyre terrible at customer service, no reply. I wrote them a month ago, same. But I think they are still in business.

Thanks. I got the file on thingiverse and made several edits. I plan to remix it and then upload it as a kit. So many great projects ahead :)

Agreed. It is very forgiving and gives a lot of notice before it rolls too.

This one is from eBay. Was my first scratch build.

@@ciborg86 Nice work!

I do plan to make the body available. I need to improve the nose mount and then will include all of the parts for the truck in one package specific for the Ascent 18. Six months ago I didn’t have a printer. Three months ago I had never designed a part. It’s opened up a whole new aspect of the hobby. Making some videos now and then rounds it all out for me. I really like the Ascent 18 as it gives plenty of warning when you’re getting close to tipping. Very forgiving to drive in my opinion. If you have a FCX24 I’ll make a video about the shock mounts I designed for it soon.

​@@ciborg86awesome! I'm looking forward to it. Thank you!

It’s this one scaled down by 50% and then modified for clearance of shocks and shock mounts. www.thingiverse.com/thing:3532450 Check out the “Ascent 18 Low Budget Modifications “ video on my channel for more details.

I printed this at 50% and glued pieces together. Has taken a lot of tumbles and is very solid: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3532450

@@ciborg86 thank you very much! Love it!

I got the magnets on Amazon: KKHOUSE 100PCS 10x1mm Thin Neodymium Magnets Body is this one scaled down 50% and then modified in Tinkercad - www.thingiverse.com/thing:3532450

I bought some bumpers here and they look pretty good - www.etsy.com/shop/PunishmentRC Maybe check Etsy and eBay as people keep coming up with good mods for these.

Ok, thanks for the information
