Microshark Type S Axial SCX24 Deadbolt Buggy Conversion

[Joe Handley]

Wasn’t exactly sure where to put this, but since it’s a scale build (other than the tires), I figured I’d put it here!

Here’s the Deadbolt I started with and the random parts from the conversion kit.

 

Then the partially finished conversion with my other Deadbolt

And finally the nearly competed build, just need to paint the cooler portion of the ESC/Rx and it will be done, for now.

They are, and not much bigger than a 1/24 light truck model either?

Cool looking rock crawlers.

Tried to get some footage of it running after getting home from visiting family in Iowa and shooting a little video at the hotel parking lot, but ran into a small problem with a screw coming out of the front driveshaft yoke on the diff. I was going to fix it, but started to get sick Tuesday night and lost my voice by this morning and had to call off today since the 2 customers I had talked to had trouble hearing me. I did get the chance to post a couple pics and the little footage I did get on there.

Hoping I feel good enough to get things fixed and get more pics and videos this weekend.

Finally felt good enough to get this out back together and took a shot of the interior.  I accidentally broke the shifter, so I cut down a ball ended needle to use instead.

Finally got the video shot of it today, used some of YouTube's copyright free music to go with it.
