Description
SCX24 Chassis with 20-Degree Angled Skid
Added 11th June: Front mount battery tray for small capacity batteries when running a rear facing motor setup assisting in adding front weight bias. Pictured is a DIY 220Mah 3s.
Added 18th May: New profile/STLs with thinner chassis rails at a request also another set of longer sliders with a small cut out for outboard sliders.
I’ve been running my second prototype for a while now and am very happy with it, printed in PA6CF with the mostly orange hacked up D21 body cut for high clearance and keeping weight low. When designing this chassis I had performance and crazy break-over in mind.
I’ve made several adjustments before sharing for easier mounting, custom link lengths, and compatibility with different shock lengths.
My setup is Gladiator wheelbase with double bend rears but I have also tried Gladiator rears with Deadbolt fronts. Once I get my hands on smaller 3S lipos, I plan to update the files to allow for a rear-facing motor setup with short front links and the battery mounted up front between the chassis rails.
Space is limited, so this chassis will require some patience to fit everything properly. I have tried to add a few options for sliders to give people a chance of having something to match their preferred body. I have also added a set of sliders that allow to run outboard rear upper links if you wish.
The body mounts are to suit 8mm round magnets (which I had on hand), but I’m happy to work with you to modify the mounts and sliders if needed. You may also need to add a spacer to the shock mounting on axles due to the chassis being slightly thicker for added strength/rigidity.
Since it's a printed chassis, be cautious not to overtighten hardware, as it can strip very easily. You can use the standard m1.4 hardware and thread it straight into the chassis. Also its advised to not be throwing this from any cliffs; it's likely to break. I like using PA6CF for the chassis as it removes a lot of the flex you get from a printed chassis. PLA+ is also working for me without issue.
I don't really have the time to fully develop and polish this design, so I’ve decided to share it for others to enjoy for free.
