How this model came about:
A while back, a user reached out and asked if I could make a version of my lift scaled for the Axial SCX24 1:24 RC trucks. I’ve always been into RC and spent years running 1/10-scale bashers, so the idea of jumping into the micro crawler world felt like a fun challenge rather than a stretch. The SCX24 platform is surprisingly capable and popular, and it felt right to build something that matched the level of detail and realism these little rigs deserve.
After a few early prototypes and some hands-on testing, this updated version came together with a focus on stability, scale proportions, and ease of printing. Rather than just shrinking a full-size design, I treated it like a miniature garage tool — something that feels at home next to a workbench, tools, and a crawler mid-upgrade. The result is a functional, display-friendly 4-post lift designed specifically around the size and weight of 1:24-scale vehicles like the SCX24.
Positioning:
The lift can be positioned in two different ways. It can sit on the ground, letting one vehicle sit on it or it can by placed higher, letting a vehicle sit on it and under it (depending on height). While this will accommodate the average 1:24 scale models, not all models will fit.
Print settings:
The 3MF is already setup with supports under the ramps and tray. Everything should print without supports. I recommend printing at 0.20mm with PLA or PLA+. Any material can be used but no need for anything strong as the models do not weigh much. No supports are needed as I manually added a beam support under the parts that require them, the main lift and the ramps. You can simply push them to the side and they will break off.
How to put together:
Refer to the images to see how it is put together. The images do not include the tray. However, it can be placed anywhere on the lift between the long runners. You can glue together or leave unglued. The parts where intentionally designed to be a little loose were putting together so that they were not hard to take back apart if changing to the other option (and it was not glued).
Legal:
You do not have the right to print/sell this model or make modifications and sell the STL. It is for personal use only!
