Welcome to week 3 where I fudge my numbers again to benefit myself and of course you viewers.... It's always about the viewers... Mostly sorta possibly but it's really about winning 😅😅😂😂
Dang!!!! That bumper is killer!!!! I used a deadbolt bumper that I pushed all the way in and removed the D-ring mounts. It is tight and clears all the tires I have including the Little guys. Great episode. I want that bumper!!!🤘🤘🤘
thats good because i ordered the C10 Jeep metal links, instead of the deadbolt ones, plus now i have proper ones on the way all i need is the driveshaft to do this mod
I’ve done the lwb mod on my scx24 “stretchbolt” deadbolt. Also used the JL bumper mount to clear the servo, and trimmed a bunch off of the front of the body
Increased turn radius and increased probability of high-siding the frame over obstacles by extending the wheelbase ✔ 😀 It keeps getting better. Lol Good choice with the servo swap. 🙂👍
@@HarleyDesignsInc That depends on how tight the course you are running on is. It will high-side over peaks a lot more easily too. I would have chosen smaller tires if I was concerned about steep climbs. Weighting the front axle would have the same effect as lengthening without giving away turn radius and frame clearance. It would also help the front tires drag the rear over obstacles more effectively. I have a video of one of my rigs climbing at 72 degrees on my channel. It happened on video so it happened. 🙂 I know how to make them climb. ; ) The rig you built would struggle on the types of courses I normally run on. Out in wide-open nature long and wide works. On tight courses it doesn't do as well. I will post a climb on my channel that a long wheelbase rig has no chance on. I have tried. I have 3 LWB rigs of different designs. They can't do it.
I’m really enjoying this series. That was great having a stock version to give us a great visual of how the upgrades have impacted the stance. I’m glad to see the use of the 3D printer as another tool to leverage in this series.
Thanks for the new bumper option I have had lots of clearance issues on my JLU and have stuck with the short wheelbase on my deadbolt in order to eliminate any problems. Now I can clear my 3D printed 4 link set up.
As important as the center of gravity discussion is, sprung & unsprung weight would of been a nice add-in xP Took me awhile to realize that's what I was fighting on my Wraith
How can having too much weight down bottom be an issue? I got brass axles and full brass wheels on my rig and was wondering if I was kicking myself in the same process of doing so. I have almost no weight up top and a crap ton down low
I wouldn’t consider width to be the compensating counterpoint to ride height personally. Just like in the (scale) comp scene, low trucks, low weight and narrow to make it thru gates.
@@HarleyDesignsInc I can show you ,,, I’ll send you pictures on Instagram,, your gonna be amazed on the size of the my 24 ... sorry I was driving while typing this and didn’t realize I posted it... I mean to put.... “ My scx24 is One of the biggest one that I’ve built and I would love to show you “ 🙏🏽💯 sorry for the confusing typo
Trying to make it as large as this scale will support. Go too large and you’ll exceed the geometry, such as when people put way too wide of a widener on it.
Because this is a platform with options parts available and a decent drivetrain. In stock form the performance just feels you like which has always been my gripe with small scale. With adjusting size, weight, balance, etc you can make it feel so much more planted. But you can’t extend them so far that you completely destroy the geometry.
@@HarleyDesignsInc i might rty to extend my betty front endI think with my smaller tires It might get high sided more often. If you like this platform take a look at the atlas 6x6. it has potential at the price point if someone would come out with steel gears for it. hopefully soon
Whoa whoa whoa. That's cheating... find the cost of the the product hahahahahahahahaha I'm kidding. Josh guy the science man. Haha future show ideas haha.
Don't try to distract me with your magic bottle demonstration, I still see you cheating.
Just means you get 2 comparable "free mods"
ahahhahaha
Came to the comments just for this comment. Wasn’t disappointed
So, how many pentlys are going to be assessed, lmao

I was going to use that but it doesn’t clear the tires with the extended wheelbase.
Thank you for sharing your bumper file with us.
Science, Magic AND Forgiveness Begging.!.... Wow what a show.!
Cheers mate 👍
Your problem solving work is impressive

Longer wheelbase has a lot of advantages, yes there are downsides as well but the advantages to climbing far outweigh the down sides.

Koala Bear sculptures make great brass diff covers, mate! (Folks should watch Austen Tayshus “Australiana”. Not at work or near your kids…)
Well explained LCG finally with layman’s visual 👍
I love science class with josh

That bumper is AWESOME! Thank you for the file link! I am planning on doing the same long front link modification
I like what you have done...I'm not sure about matt's time will tell...I enjoy it when you guys do builds like this
I love it. That bumper is awesome. This series is one of my favorites!! I'm off to watch SBG's video for this week. 👍✌️
Really enjoying this series. I am looking forward to seeing the difference from stock on a course
Nice Video My Friend 🤟
Thank you for the great video today.
I'll look forward to your next video.😁
I did the same link conversion awhile back, it works great.
I have the “Bill Nye The Science Guy” theme playing in my head because of the water bottle CG explanation!
I just came here to make a joke about that.
@@Evan_Moore61 funny. I was just thinking I was back in the 80s watching Mr wizard.
Just finished watching scale builders guilds video.
Love the bumper man! Might grab one from shapeways. Awesome build series Josh!
I have to admit, this series has me more interested than I thought it would
Will you please go through you 3D printing set-up. I'm looking into getting one for mainly rc stuff
Awesome!, Great way to start Wednesday
Thank you for the STL file, I like your Budget Build video's
More 3d printing for the scx24, please. I’ve designed some things and modified other’s designs. I need to get off my butt and share them…
As important as the center of gravity discussion is, sprung & unsprung weight would of been a nice add-in xP Took me awhile to realize that's what I was fighting on my Wraith
Starting to look like a monster truck. I like it
Nice job on the bumper.
And I think 3D printing is valid.
Not like you're asking space aliens for technology we don't have...or are you?
Awesome josh that looks really mean looking. Thanks for the vids 👍
OH NO YOUR SHOCKS ARE TILTED😳😱
So there are no front bumpers on the market that will clear the servo as is with the longer links?
Is there much difference in brands for the upgrades. I noticed you guys use different brands for the same parts.
Love these video series’
The longer links and driveshaft comes in the box no need to buy extras.
I probably should throw away that stuff 🤷🏻♂️
How can having too much weight down bottom be an issue? I got brass axles and full brass wheels on my rig and was wondering if I was kicking myself in the same process of doing so. I have almost no weight up top and a crap ton down low
Any reason you didn’t do a 4 link front since you had all the extra links?
I wish axial would have an scx24 semi with trialer
great demo!
Hey how about a budget build off with the fastest pimped out FMS Suzuki Jimny 1\6
To be fair to the spirit of the budget build, your price for the printed bumper should have been the price to print at Shapeways.
But he's giving it away for free so anyone following along it should be free.
@@northernrider780 Not everyone has access to a printer or knows someone with a printer
Being that it’s just a bumper and printers are becoming more common tools in peoples homes/school/jobs, I was fine with this approach.
@@DNA930 but most of the guys on the forums or Facebook groups will always help out, just ask.
When will VP be releasing the DU housings for SCX24?
In all reality I'm only adding weight to the axles to compensate for a hardbody
Does anyone make a wider front axle housing that could get rid of some of that steering scrub?
Great demonstration of center of gravity, but I think it would be more effective if you had a lab coat on.(Josh Nye the rc science guy)
Amazon here I come!
Like watching an episode of mr wizard
Starting to look interesting.
Loving this series. Any chance there could be a 1/10 budget series? Say start with an off the shelf RTR honcho or trx4 and go from there.
check both channels video listings, they may even have playlists, this isn't the first time this has happened between them
@@SeamusMacMattain Should have started there honestly. EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you.
The cost of 3D printer divided by number of projects to date is the pro-rated cost of that bumper
Pennies!!
But, er, wouldn’t those weighted-foam tires be perfect at lowered the CofG?
true but to low you have no ground clearance is where the balance come into play.
Just lowering the truck isn’t the biggest factor to lowering COG, but most people to run things too tall.
@@HarleyDesignsInc that is true if your truck not wide eough, wide truck fixs that. but it all have you want to run
I wouldn’t consider width to be the compensating counterpoint to ride height personally. Just like in the (scale) comp scene, low trucks, low weight and narrow to make it thru gates.
Rule you do best you can.surely there rule for wide crawler
For every day use I prefer the wide method it fixes all that and if I need the narrow one just buy a different truck and build one your way
So would this stretch of the front end have any affect on my JK or does it already have the longer link and wishbone?
You could want to install the longer rear links on your JK to stretch the Wheelbase.
Am I crazy I can't find shapeways link? Also you from kc or just a Chiefs fan? Live outside kc and been one my entire life 👍
If it was me I would call that servo horn like 5.99 🤷♂️
I technically bought links that were already included in the box for twice that so we’ll call it wash 😁
@@HarleyDesignsInc I was just thinking so Matt couldn't call you a cheater.
like the b build !!
Science! Broughttoyouby essentia
Should have seen Nicole’s face when I was stealing her water bottles for a “video”
Can you put a link for the servo in your next vid pls?
I haven’t changed the servo yet, I was just talking about a flimsy servo horn I found. Replacement servo will be coming soon.
@@HarleyDesignsInc ok, so you'll put the link when you replace it?
Fill my rc tires with water. Check ✅
My scx24 is the biggest one build yet
Huh?
@@HarleyDesignsInc I can show you ,,, I’ll send you pictures on Instagram,, your gonna be amazed on the size of the my 24 ... sorry I was driving while typing this and didn’t realize I posted it... I mean to put.... “ My scx24 is One of the biggest one that I’ve built and I would love to show you “ 🙏🏽💯 sorry for the confusing typo
for Al Gore's rhythm section!
Giant tires, longer wheelbase, increased track width. It sounds more like you are just trying to make it a larger scale rc lmao.
Trying to make it as large as this scale will support. Go too large and you’ll exceed the geometry, such as when people put way too wide of a widener on it.
Could’ve saved the wheelbase mod for the free week and done 4 link at the same time 😬
Where did you get your cap? I want one..
Soon, Vanquish website
Josh uses water bottles to explain center of gravity: 🎶”Josh Nye the Science Guy” 🎶
4 minuet lecture on weight bias……..builds the TRX4000 lol. Good video Josh.
If I don’t experience both, than how can I really say I’ve tried it 😂
….. why didn’t you just 4 link front link it?
I have #674
I want one of those hats. Where can I get one?
They’ll be on the Vanquish website soon.
@@HarleyDesignsInc thank you very much. Had my eye on it since that comp you went to a while back lol
Yeah yeah that's all great but....where do i get that hat?
Soon! Vanquish website
Magic items should have a cost of $10 attached to them...
Or whatever the retail price would have been.
All I wanna know is…..where did you get the hat?
They’ll be on the vanquish website soon!
👍🏾💯
Your rule book must be see through with all the holes in it 😅
It’s written in pencil.
Looks like it has 48" boggers on it lol
Put Hot racing shocks ad little grease in shock awesome check out my deadbolt👍🏼great videos
liiiiit
Was really hoping this series was going to show the install of the parts rather just talking about the parts.
Last week we basically did all of the install that we did from this week. So it would have been showing the same thing.
So… Betty is related to Becky?
Is that cen450 squatted ? Lol
Yup!! 😂 it was done purely to troll. Made a useless truck have a purpose!
I tuned in for Budget Build Off, not Professor Proton
I dont get why everyone makes them bigger. why not just get a 1/16 scale or something.
Because this is a platform with options parts available and a decent drivetrain. In stock form the performance just feels you like which has always been my gripe with small scale. With adjusting size, weight, balance, etc you can make it feel so much more planted. But you can’t extend them so far that you completely destroy the geometry.
@@HarleyDesignsInc i might rty to extend my betty front endI think with my smaller tires It might get high sided more often. If you like this platform take a look at the atlas 6x6. it has potential at the price point if someone would come out with steel gears for it. hopefully soon
I have the Pandas but not a fan.
@@HarleyDesignsInc hard to be a fan for sure. I havent had issues, but you would, I've seen your driving style. lol
Whoa whoa whoa. That's cheating... find the cost of the the product hahahahahahahahaha
I'm kidding.
Josh guy the science man. Haha future show ideas haha.
Well I bought links that are included in the box so I’ll call it a wash. 😁
Great, now I have to pee even more.
