How to make scale accessories in 1/18th! Part two

- The Dad and Lad RC team wanted to add scale accessories to their 1/18th crawlers as soon as they got them, having watched innumerable scale-trail videos from the likes of RCSparks, etc. However, it soon became apparent that while there are loads of scale accessories for 1/10th scale, there is hardly anything for 1/18th and smaller. So, we had to get creative...
We raided Luke's old toy box, my old toy collection, the craft box, old clothes, kitchenware, florist wire, thin elastic cord, you name it! For those things we just could not make ourselves, we turned to those clever people with 3D printers - that sorted out bespoke roof racks, and a few scale accessories. However, I'll think you will agree, our home made tent-in-a-bag, bed rolls, wind break, canopy, flysheets, tarps, boxes and bush wires have really made these 1/18th crawlers into dinky scale explorers ready for outdoor adventure. So get your creative caps on and start adding scale accessories to your mini-rigs!
Here in part two, I explain how I made the dinky bush wires, and give a bit more detail about making the cargo nets, before we take the Fury and the X2T out on the trails to show how good they look in expedition mode!

The luggage net is nice with other roof top stuffs👍😍🌟🌟🌟
It's the little things that make the difference. Bit of a faff making the cargo net from the 1mm elastic, but take your time and you can get a good result.
@@dadandladrc319 Thanks 🤩👍
Really great work. Thanks
Cheers
Looks awesome mate! Great video
Thank you - really pleased with how they look out on the trails.
These look amazing! Loving the custom scale accessories! Keep up the great work 👍
Cheers fella! They look very different now to when we first got them!
Really nice video. The scale accessories look amazing.😀
Cheers - they really do add a whole new dimension to the rigs.
thats pretty cool
Thank you - they look so good out on the trail with all their expedition accessories in-situ.
Wow nice vehicles!!!!👍
Let's be rc friend 👬🎶
Thank you, it is amazing what you can do with 1/18th if you are creative!
I don’t know how you would do this but, a sound kit would make those little rigs 10x better.
P.s I would never have had the creativity to do this 😂
Yeah, I think that might be a little beyond my current capabilities! Making scale kit, I’m your man, but electronic trickery - not yet! I’ll just have to make engine noises while filming... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi what are the roof dimensions on the ftx outback mini x fury i want to 3d print a roof rack but cant find the dimensions for it anywhere online, If possible could you share the link for the roof rack on it please
Sorry, just seen this - 120mm by 70mm
Nice craftiness there! I have some SCX24 builds with quite a bit of scale gear as well (Here's my first build: ruclips.net/video/U8lED7BUCl0/видео.html ) For me at least, it makes it much more fun to drive when it looks real. Great job to both of you!
Thank you! You can really make these little rigs look realistic.
And your SCX24 looks amazing!!!!!! Love the roof tent.
@@dadandladrc319 Thankyou! Super easy to make, as well as the Firestick Antenna. I've been thinking of doing Limb Riser wires as well like you both have have. Cheers!
