What u got and what u want

Give me a few minutes and I'll post some pics and prices

I've got an OG Axial SCX10 short wheelbase with an FJ body. Was originally a Honcho (Tacoma style flatbed/truggy). It'll come with the Honcho body, stock plastic Axial wheels/tires, RC4WD steel wheels with Pro-Line BFG's. Futaba S351 metal gear servo, Hobbywing brushless motor/esc. No radio gear. I've got a bunch of stuff that will come with it that I'd have to dig out of the attic: stock length links for Honcho wheelbase, parts, etc. Has overdriven front diff gear as well.

The other is an SCX10 Rubicon builders kit that was run very little. Custom painted Rubicon Wounded Warrior body that I did, steel wheels, aluminum bumper with winch mount, Trackstar servo, Hobbywing Brushless motor/ESC. Bunch of extra parts included as well.

FJ - $225 shipped

Jeep - $325 shipped

They'll be cleaned up before they go, my little girl plays with the FJ so it was still pretty dirty. I've got two big boxes of parts/extras that will go along with them. I painted the flags and Wounded Warrior emblem on the inside of the Jeep body; they aren't stickers. I've got a NIB clear Axial Honcho body for the Jeep as well. If anybody is interested I will dig out the boxes of parts and send pics as well. You'll need radio gear for either of them (the Futaba receiver in the FJ isn't included).

Mounting those stupid stamped RC4WD wheels was awful until I found a couple longer screws to start them!

I cheated. I stripped a stronger bread tie-ish thing down to the inside wire. Looped it through two holes and twisted it to pull it together and lined up as a bonus. I had struggled with the first a lot until I tried that. The other three stamped wheels took less time altogether than the first one did by itself. Lol.

The Raceline beadlocks were far easier to mount but it took throwing the adapter tool they send in the trash and ordering a tiny nut driver 1.5 mm off of Amazon. With a proper tool they were easy. Just a lot of tiny bolts to turn obviously.

Well gentlemen....one of the out of the box chargerfor the scx24 had an incident today.

It was charging behind me while I was working and I heard it pop. I got it all unplugged and onto the concrete floor before any other damage was done. The charger is definitely toast. The battery will probably be pitched for safety reasons but I suspect it is actually ok. I’m just not willing to risk it over $20.

Wow... Good thing you were home

I bought a five pack of these voltage display/testers/alarms for the RC Lipo battery packs. They are pretty handy to verify fully charged vs. storage charge vs. depleted/need charged status. At $12 for the five pack they are cheap and handy little tools to have around. You can also use them to alarm when safe run time voltage is getting low (you can set your own value for the alarm) and you should swap to a new battery pack.

If you want an inexpensive and simple charger to replace the pos charger that comes with your SCX24, I'd check this one out for under $15.

Finally broke the X-Maxx. We were driving it up and down the hill outside the cabin at RRB. Didn't realize there was a 10' drop until @Plumber32 drove it off of there and it disappeared. I jumped it off there 3-4 times after that and landed on a rock right where the spur gear is. Blew up the pinion, spur, rear skid, rear bulkhead, and chassis. Just bought the parts to fix it for around $100, not too bad.
