Be the best version of you. - What's on the Bench Weekly Ep77

[@kevin_fine]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! You and the community give me the motivation to keep innovating and making new things!

[@scalebuildersguild]

You deserve them! Thanks for everything you do for the hobby!

[@CRAZYBUILD349]

SWEET, love to see a good build come together,

[@Moe44125]

The Ranger looks fantastic 👌

[@navigationmanship]

Graduated HS, 77... last century!! My favorite so far!! Let's see what's up! 25 days is good, so far... praise no lexan!

[@paulmcnamara2908]

I liked the old fender flares! Think I may have been the only one maybe! That jeed looks cool and defo red is the best colour!

[@hmisay4976]

I once put an extra zip tie on my truck by mistake. You can say I'm a pretty serious DIY-er.

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@KearSki]

I'm comfortable with a lot of DIY, after all I've hacked two Blazers into a suburban and I'm going to try and make fit an extended SCX 10 Leaf Spring conversion chassis.

[@DonsRCworld]

Giving this one a second LIKE 👍

[@ilayshay-cn5cq]

good night from Israel. As always fun to watch your videos. As an eternal Jeep enthusiast (I have an Axial 3) I am very impressed by this vehicle. You see that Axial has renewed a lot! Both visually and technically. Quality parts and not only in the basic version that needs to be upgraded after that! Waiting for the next video!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the comment. Stay tuned and stay safe in Israel!

[@boldrbangr9834]

Nice CJ7! Installing Kevin Fine's clipless body mounts was one of my 1st CJ7 mods & well worth it. A great product & simple to install & as you said, makes things so much easier.

[@twisterzman]

Years ago, (2005), I did a TT01 drift car. Back then, no deep dish wheels, so you had to make them. Blue 5mm led in blue drinking straws made the underbody glow, ect... fun build

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@mickeysrccrawl]

I dig the ford hb body so much, not the model i think but mostly because its a hb ;-) Still proud of you, Mat :-)

[@christopherjacobson9385]

I love that ranger body

[@jaredgreen502]

I really enjoyed the mods on the CJ-7. Looks like performance & appearance are easy better. Thanks for sharing

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@AaronWright-j8r]

Stay strong! Don't let the sirens call of Lexan pull you off course.

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@Axial32]

Those baja fenders and boxsides are looking AWESOME, and that battery tray looks you can disguise it as a fuel cell.

[@kwkride]

These fenders on the Ranger look great!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@RadonManRC]

Thank you for the updates! The upgrades to the CJ are very interesting! Looking forward to a new running video with the upgrades!

[@thegutlessbellydragger]

Love how your fenders turned out Matt! Sooooo smooth. This project is really inspiring me to look at what I have lying around and what I might make out of it. Just signed into my sbg account for the first time in a while and it really Got me going today.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's awesome! Glad you got some inspiration and look forward to seeing what you come up with on the forum!

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

My favorite weekly show 😎🤘

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@jrfishes]

That Ranger build is gonna be cool! Hopefully by the time it's done we'll be able to see it in 4K 😬

[@JonnyJetson754]

Some very nice trucks/4x4’s 🪴🥸

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@BlindGuyRc]

Jeep looks alot better. Very nice work. The ranger danger is looking great. Can't wait to see the cage you design for it. Great what's on the bench episode man.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks man!

[@jasonwilliams74]

Praise Beams!

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Burton Snowboards started in 1977. You need a jacket.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I always comment too early. No Fun Haver Part Deux is f'n sweet. Don't let the lexan police see you messing around with that Axial.

[@MrGlidn07]

You have a great eye on designing your rigs, they turn out fantastic, keep it up.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@tommy1504]

I’m sure one day you will get to the bottom of this eternal question. What IS on the bench 🤔

[@mitsuman5555]

We may never know.

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂 Some concerned viewer asked "How IS the bench?" yesterday! 😂

[@Nfarer]

Woooooo!

[@outcastrc8052]

I like the re-cycling you are doing on the Ranger build. Nice to see elements from previous models coming back to life on this build! Looking really good and enjoying the journey with you. Thanks for the "ride"!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for coming along!

[@greggmundkowsky5798]

I would say mounting the body clips falls under modifying the body as you changed out the original equipment from the body

[@scalebuildersguild]

DID I TOUCH THE LEXAN IN ANY WAY? I merely screwed parts into hard plastic. 😉

[@akoshorvath-risko5838]

I'm sorry, did you heart your own answer?😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

@@akoshorvath-risko5838 lol oops! Meant to heart yours!

Ok, the king lives on I bow to your wisdom my lord

Can't believe you have the stock licence plate on the CJ

Here's a build for you that won't involve Lexan! 😎 Metal Simulation 313/324mm Wheelbase Body Shell and Seat Interior for 1/10 RC Crawler Car Traxxas TRX4 Defender RD110 Diy Parts

[@RCNewbieGuy]

I need that CJ7. I'm in love with this body, but I'd like it to be on leafs. Thinking about getting the body kit and putting it on my TF2.

[@martintaylor984]

What weight oil and springs do you have on those shocks on the Cj? And as far as diy, I would love to be able to do what you and Josh do, but honestly I don’t have a computer much less a printer 😩😩😩

[@scalebuildersguild]

I think I put 50 weight oil. Stock shocks but will be tuning.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I really wish they would’ve done an amc v8 vs the ls motor that’s in it.

[@GeorgiaBoyRC]

I am dipping my toe into complete custom building with an scx24 build. Is it easier to smaller or larger scale? Who really knows. Just taking my time. Learning as I go along. Love the channel!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Small scale can be tricky being precise, but good luck and congrats for challenging yourself!

[@gmummy]

But it is ironic that the Porsche is #77.. Which filament would you recommend to print that trans mount? ABS?

[@scalebuildersguild]

PLA is fine for this mount.

[@VincentRadtke-j8f]

That Ranger looking nice I wanna do a dakota body on my scx pro

[@justinferrill8583]

“Zero fun given” should be the name. It failed recess in elementary school because it doesn’t do fun. Frfr.

[@keqrou]

You REALLY need to get some kjngs piggyback or remote res shocks for the pre runner ranger

[@Gairbear-builds]

Hey, I like how the cj7 is coming. Will you have the 3d stl's for the ranger when it gets done? I seen yours and have an idea. Losi rey rear axle, sand drag truck ? Paddle tires hi kv motor? Thanks again, as always.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not planning on offering those fenders, but thanks for the interest!

[@Billy425]

Your fusion 360 skill has surpassed mine. Thanks for motivating and sharing. Time for me to catch up!

[@scalebuildersguild]

You can do it! Thanks for watching!

[@DLAdventures2]

Lexan is plastic too! Fighting for lexan rights everywhere!

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@brandaneakright6082]

I’m digging that ranger build, but what about the cucv?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Slowly, slowly!

[@51panhead91]

Good video. Where is the driver for the Jeep? Does it just drive itself?lol

[@akoshorvath-risko5838]

I was wondering, what happened to the big Ranger/Ford body? Did you finish printing the parts to it?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Popped it in the recycling bin!

[@haydenunsell]

cage and flared bed on the bobtail ford?

[@scalebuildersguild]

YES!

[@wiktorjohansson4333]

I diy as much as I need to build what I want like my cc01 drift car I made McPherson suspension in front and had to do I c notch in the rear. It was one of those tings I thought was going to be hard but It worked out

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool!

[@scottthompson3670]

If you change out and mess with the hard plastic body parts. Does that count as working with lexan?

[@scalebuildersguild]

I put a sticker on a lexan body, so Josh told me that I violated the challenge!

[@lakegenevascalers7226]

Hmm... diy... WHAT ABOUT THE 8 DOOR HILUX LIMO I BUILT!??! YOU NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR ME

[@R.Sole88109]

Here, have a cookie 🍪😜

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry, I have no idea what this is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@R.Sole88109]

@@scalebuildersguild I was being cheeky but presumably LGS built a 8 door Luxxy but hasn't put a video of it on his channel. A quick Google shows a real 8 door tundra and a 6 door Hilux, I then saw squirrel and stopped searching, Hahaha.

[@offroad1911]

Touching lexan is awfully close to breaking the rule. 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@mikerainey3847]

Really enjoy the show, never miss it! I have a couple of questions for ya.' Are those shocks on the "no fun haver" actually 4" that seems huge? Is it larger than 10th scale?

[@scalebuildersguild]

It’s a 4” shock, yes. Truck is still 10th scale or so.

[@scalebuildersguild]

It’s a 4” shock, yes. Truck is still 10th scale or so. Thanks for watching!

You were born in 1977? I was born in 1964. I feel old now. They must feed you good in the Canadian wilderness.😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

My wife says that when you start describing yourself as old that's when you become old. She prefers older (and that's probably because she's 2 years "older" than me 😂)

[@kevincain6843]

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Maybe scaler as in climbing

[@davidcrawford872]

Weird, how did you attached the light kit "Without" modifying Lexan . . . .

[@scalebuildersguild]

Because the mounts aren’t part of the body and I put the light kit in long before the start of the year.

[@_Sphaxz_]

Everyone is always asking "what's on the bench?", but nobody seems to care about "how is the bench?"

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's so awesome... thanks for the chuckle. The bench is doing just fine, thanks! I'll send it your regards. 😂

[@mattw7910]

I want to put a vfd trans in my 10-3 but ain't got no one dem 3-D printer thingy to print it.

[@scalebuildersguild]

You can send the file to a printing service, or find a friend with one.

[@kevinhamblin3985]

Would you sell the file for the fenders? Currently printing the body 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

I don’t think so. In order to really make these work well, there’s still a ton of styrene work required.

[@kevinhamblin3985]

@@scalebuildersguild understandable, the build is coming together nicely!

[@adamleblanc8720]

Aren’t those clips a lexan body mod? 6:26

[@scalebuildersguild]

Did they touch the Lexan? No.

What! You're older than me! I need a haircut a checkered shirt and a fishing hat Pronto!

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂 Instant facelift.

[@Mike_and_Life]

Coincidence or eventuality? Your choice of syllables. 25 days no lexan.... very impressive, but Big Lexan isn't going to stand for it. You witnessed what they did to your camera feed on last night's stream. Tread lightly, my friend, tread lightly.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I preferred the fenders from the last video… 😬

DIY !? Lmao 🤣 I'm old school, scavaging, finding bits of trash that have a shape I see , or total scratch , no printers here ( not that if I had one and knew how to use it I wouldn't 🤣 ) just how I've always done it... Let's just say I've had to "hand make" a lot of my life so it's always my first direction.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool! Hats off to you and your creativity!

[@gvngoheavy]

I dont know how to not DIY.. currently have a mst j4 body staring at me begging to be turned into an lcg truck... or an iflight succex-e am32 converted esc that really wants me to put a utb18 chassis under the wpl c74 body...
