I spent over a week working on my SCX30 and needed something BIG to make. So I started upscaling the RDD1 Drift Chassis found on MakerWorld.com and here it sits in its current form.

I've had to remake many of the parts to accommodate bearings, motors, servos, etc.

I have a new spur/pinion printing and then I hope to give it a proper test... with a better battery/esc. :D

The wheels/tires are M sized scaled up from my own designs. The LIPO tray is a work in progress. I still need to make a body brace to strengthen the length... and then I need to figure out the rear suspension/wobble stuff to make it lean nicely

I am not sure what body will fit, lol... it's 1/6th scale and there aren't exactly bodies galore out there for drift rigs lol :D

I added a shock setup up front, and have a list of items to mod/clean/perfect a bit more.

It's been fun and it's NOT an SCX30 :D

I'm adapting Kocyn's sweet J79 Land Cruiser "Kit truck" to a SCX30 body.

The mounts system is mostly done but I need to test it with some other filaments and under use.

The 3d model of the truck itself needs some thinning out to make it lighter but it works nicely on my SCX currently. Note that I have the injora shocks on the scx30 and they make it sit a little higher, but I also mounted it sitting up higher for this particular build.

My next step is to reprint the whole body in the colors I want w the LED friendly ports I'm making to light it up and add the lightened redone body back to the rig.

I don't have a stock scx30 to test but I think it's all good. The mounts are superglued and screwed to the chassis. So it works for me anyways :D

So this is my current progress on it, looks amazing and will look even better w lights and the right colors.

Thanks to Kocyn on MakerWorld for the sweet print!
