The Meus Racing MB24 Is My Favorite SCX24 Build

Рет қаралды 39,083

Күн бұрын

In this video I build, run, and review the new MB24 chassis kit from Meus Racing for the Axial SCX24! This is a fantastic looking kit and includes an ABS body, nylon tubular cage, and carbon fiber frame rails. Built and optimized for the SCX24 C10/JLU/Bronco wheelbase (132mm), it will completely transform the look of your build!

I'm in the process of building one as well (same color). The thing I like the most about this is the versatility. If you so choose, you could remove the ABS body and cage from the CF frame and have a great performing chassis setup as well. Throw a lexan body on it and you have a good performing rig.

Mine just showed up today. I got the white body so I could do my own paint on it. I impulse bought this thinking I was going to revive an old Deadbolt, but with all the upgrades I have planned, there wouldn't be much left of the Deadbolt anyway. So it's going to be a scratch build.

@noelgruver 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for the step by step. I’m new to this hobby, one thing I noticed when ordering upgrades is that there aren’t any instructions with the parts. Most are intuitive but some aren’t, which leaves me to taking screenshots from vids to figure it out. I appreciate your videos.

@capecrawlers Adam, I was able to get the front laid out better by moving the upper shock mount location to where the chassis rail cross brace is located. You have to Dremel out a small section of either side of the roll cage, but I do not believe anything suffers from this because it was a four touch point piece and you are just removing the front touch points. I am able to get mine to climb 41 degree inclines and crawls really well. I also removed the spare tire and replaced it with a stock SCX24 wheel/tire as it weighed less. I did some other weight distribution tricks and really happy at how well this performs:

I know you're busy and I'm not the only person here asking you questions, but I'd really appreciate hearing your answers to my questions before these go outta stock. Thank you, sir. Wife bought me my first Axial, an AX24 XC1. I understand this MEUS bronco kit is designed for the scx24. Would it be possible for this kit to work on my AX24 with Gladiator front/ rear links/drive shafts? Or the c10 bronco jlu links/drive shafts? Your videos are top notch! I followed your indoor course build videos to build my own.

@CapeCrawlers 5 ай бұрын

The tricky part is that there are no independent upper link mounts like there are on the ax24. You would need to convert to an scx24 skid, which wouldn’t be a bad thing. It will work best with c10 links and driveshafts
