I just mounted mine using the stock body hinge mechanism on rear and magnets to hold the front down. Easy access and no protruding body mounts. All electronics were left in the stock position.
That took some engineering. Well done.
Thanks! Works pretty well. Still running it this way lol
You inspired me to grab my first rc, scx24, and threw this body on it. Been having a blast working on this thing. I'll have to find a way to share a picture of it when its done. Thanks for the videos.
So awesome!!! Nothing better than gaining more friends in the hobby! Welcome to the addiction 😆. I’m also on Facebook and Instagram as 2FM RC so you can always shoot some pics there if you have either!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I picked up an SCX24 and this same AMT Hilux body. Your tips will save me a lot of head scratching! :)
Thanks for the info brother! Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
The RC is looking awesome man.
Thanks for this, exactly what I want to do
Awesome! Let me know how it works out!!
I love that body! Very nice, well done.
The overhang at the back is too much for me, gets hung up, and the weight, but the scale appeal is great.
Hope to see some cool crawling videos on all these trucks you got.
Thanks for the video!
Mrs. Rabbit yeah I’m hoping to get some good crawling in a video soon! I actually just bought another one of these bodies to play with a bit. I’m probably gonna cut the rear a bit to shorten it up. It actually helps keep it from flipping backwards at times tho 😂
Exelent tune axi24, i love you project, great work my friend!)🤩💥💯👍👏
Received your message in the Facebook group while watching ! ;). Thanks for sharing,
ambaradan66 thanks so much for watching! Hope it helps!
@@2fmrc Hi Matt, hope you will also release a video of the GMC we both have. I haven't yet started my GMC project but looking for useful tips like those you've shared in the video. Very helpful, Thanks.
ambaradan66 it’s one that I really need to do soon so hopefully I’ll get a start soon! I’m gonna try to start looking at fitment tomorrow if I have some time. Really like to get some info for you at least! I can always put the video together later as far as editing etc but if I can help you out now that’s what I’m here for 👌
Which Facebook group is it?
@@joergone1184 there are several scx24 groups. I’m in pretty much all of them. Just search scx24 and start joining! That’s what I did lol
Great idea. I would love to find a van body for mine.
Sorry for the late response but they make a Ford van. It's amt. My wife found 1! We're working on making it fit now
Damn thats really high man.
Yeah too high lol
Shoe Goo is the best
great idea, i never thought of doing that but isnt that a 1/20 scale body on a 1/24 scale chassis
Yeah the 1/20 scale bodies fit the scx24 better
@@2fmrc interesting, good to know
Do you have a video of how you mounted all the internals? Like the esc and how you screwed everything in?
This is the only one I did on it so far but I could do a breakdown of it sometime!
The shocks push everything so far apart that the drive shafts rub. Does that happen to yours?
I haven’t had any issues with the driveshaft rubbing on mine. Well not any more than every scx24 has. Seems like they all rub a tiny bit at certain points of articulation but no I haven’t had an issue with mine on this setup.
Definitely gonna copy you lol. Love how that looks! Just wonder if it could work with the battery in the stock location 🤔
tim perkins I would say so. My magnets are basically mounted where the battery would be so I would say you could just put the magnets in a different spot.
2FM RC I’m definitely gonna give it a shot! ..thanks for the inspiration 🤙
What secret do you have putting those wagon wheels together
Pedar01 you sort of get better the more you do them. Never easy really lol. Lately I’ve been getting the tire set on the rim,then using a small clamp on two sides of the wheel to sort of clamp down on the tire. That way it’s all set and won’t move. Then run a screw through that and line up the hex. Get a couple screws lined up and start them a good bit. Pull the clamps and make sure the tire stayed in place good. Then slowly run the other screws in. Been working pretty well. The rok lox are by far the worst tire to mount on them! The others aren’t too bad.
Thanks. Trying to mount some MTRs.
How did you paint it？it’s not the same plastic as most rc shells. so did what you use work well?
Yeah I bought some spray paint for model truck bodies and it’s held up very well so far!
What are whose wheels and tires I like the stock nitto tires but there really skinny. I also like the look of Steelies
Those are the rc4wd stamped steel wheels with the rc4wd wrangler tires on my yota. They do really well!
What is the part number for the head light extension cord grom ebay?
What kind of glue did you use on the model? I have a Silverado model body I want to put on my scx24 Jeep chassis. Wheel base issues, I need to shorten cab or bed and glue.
I used model glue on most of the trim work etc but for glueing the bed to the truck itself I used shoe goo. It’s held up great!
@@2fmrc much appreciated. If I chop my model cab to shorten wheelbase, I want some good strength. I like you magnet idea to hold body and hood. Your Toyota scx24 model motivated me.
@@2fmrc I appreciate your help. I found some Loctite extreme glue no drip gel at Home Depot. In my attic I ran across an old Bigfoot 1/24 scale model...and tires. I put the body on my scx24 jeep. Truck works awesome on the chasis. Glue works well, especially when left overnight. I am thinking of getting longer shocks and getting the Bigfoot tires on.
Also do you know if the body mount positions are different on the c10 because I’m planning on getting one of these and doing something similar but i would rather have the c10 body
Yeah the c10 mounting positions will be slightly different than what I started with because it was a deadbolt. Should be fairly simple to make the hard body work on the c10 also though. May have to mess with the wheelbase a bit but you can make about any of them work
Does it still crawl well with the heavy body? How about compared to stock?
It still crawls really well. It’s not as good as some of my other modded out rigs but it also don’t look like them. With the scale look it shouldn’t perform as well as my 4ws rig for example. It does do amazing though. Way better than a stock rig but it has a ton of mods and is HEAVY! It has a bunch of brass,all aluminum hot racing stuff including links,skid,steering links,front axle housing etc. Plus wheel weights etc so it holds it down pretty well. If you put this body on a straight stock truck it probably would hinder its performance a decent amount. With some mods it’s great though.
@@2fmrc thanks for the response
This will be my only RC, I still can’t decide which way to go and if the hardbody will hinder it too much to be worth it. I was planning to do the DIY brass links, barrage motor with brass plate, wheel weights, etc and then I start to wonder if the weight it a recipe for broken parts
What wheels?
They are the rc4wd stamped steel beadlocks
@@2fmrc Thanks
Do you have a link where to ordering that body?
I got mine from eBay!

@@2fmrc thank you so much :-)
@@joergone1184 anytime!
Where can you get scx24 hard bodies?
Any 1/20 model kit body will usually fit well. This was a 1/20 amt model truck kit. I just stole the body out of it. 1/24 kits are usually a little small for the scx24 for some reason. 1/20 is perfect.
2FM RC ok thanks
What’s the size magnets used?
I used some 12mm X 3mm

Where did you buy the body?
They are discontinued but I hear they are going to start making them again because they heard how popular they’ve been. It was a revell 1/20 model kit body. I just preordered one of these. The 1/20 bodies fit best. 1/24s are too small.
