r/SmallScaleRC

BF just got me this and I adore it. Its a 4X4 with street tires and barely any ground clearance, But its pretty fun to climb hills with it just because its so pathetic that it feels like a huge achievement when it accomplishes *anything* (said with love, i swear 🤣)

BUT now that im kind of attached to it I wanna make sure i can keep it running for a long while. All the electronics are pretty standard for 24th scale cars, but im not sure about the suspension and the rest of the drivetrain. at a glance it seems like a bit of a mish mash of parts copied from Axial and FMS crawlers, but i dont have any trucks from those brands to actually test compatibility.

Has anyone done any successful repairs on one of these JXC vans? Would any of the metal upgrade parts from the big brands fit this thing? Will i need to invest in a 3D printer and roll my own parts?

MT18 or Mini LMT? Just got the Redcat in just now and it’s easier to stunt indoors. MininLMT is a blast indoors and out but not as much fine control as the Redcat. Both had been discounted lately and both are one of a kind and a blast to bash, just figured I’d throw my 2c out there so far on the situation
