LGRP ULTRA 24 SCX24 BUILD - Chassis Assembly, Super 8 Axles, Shock Setup & More!

In this video I kick off the new LGRP Ultra 24 SCX24 build! In part one of this series I assemble the chassis using a scx24 deadbolt frame and skid plate. I also build and install the LGRP Super 8 axles and install the Torque beadlock wheels wrapped in Swamp King tires, long travel shocks, and high clearance billet links. I also paint the tubular chassis and body panels and provide a mock-up of the finished product. Enjoy!

[@wodkiller1229]

I’m running a micro Komodo in my ultra 24 chassis. I had to remove the front battery tray/skid plate to make it fit. I did use my stock battery tray and put in sideways in the operator’s compartment. I have one screw thru each side door akin to hold it in place. Works good so far. Also made some duct tape limiting straps that go from my servo mount bolts up to the front frame rail bolts. Still get maximum travel but no monster truck lift in the front when climbing. I have LGRP portals on my build, I would love to add some super 8’s but can’t ever catch them in stock.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Sounds like a great setup! Did you mount the micro komodo forward facing?

That sucks that your original plan for the motor didn't work out. Maybe try the mini Komodo motor or the regular Komodo from Furitek. They're both a lower profile motors so they might fit.

I really wish more manufacturers would concentrate on straight arms instead of the high clearance arms cuz I have noticed on quite a few of them that you don't get the same amount of articulation with the bend I've noticed you get a lot more with the straight arms any good four link setup. But seems to be pretty hard finding straight brass arms everybody makes the high clearance ones
