I think Josh is going to be blown away by how well those leaf springs work you did a great job on it!

[@darrenjackson6207]

Hey bro ! I have to say that You really have a good attitude and it's good to see a smile from a man enjoying and sharing his hobby. IM a fan. Keep up the good times.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Will do!

[@thomasbialzik3060]

I will never get sick of looking at Joanne. She's fabulous ❤ great job on the windshield fade👏

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you so much!!

[@outcastrc8052]

Weathered axles for sure! Needs to look driven (a lot)!

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Watching what's on the bench weekly is my reminder to cycle my shocks and turn the tires 😉 Like your rover behind you needs lol

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@small.and.even.smaller]

Arrma Mojave Grom looks good. And it's a lot of fun.

[@Basshertz13]

Matt , Joanne is ravishing with the whip antenna great job on the show

[@jeffreyl4924]

Joanne is beautiful, and yes weather the axles!

[@MysticRiverRC]

Pro tip to dampen resonating panels. Mask the inside hardware and mating surfaces, then spray the remaining panel area with FlexSeal or other rubberized coating. A thin application will deaden just about any noise. Or, just stick some rubber electrical tape on the backsides.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great idea with the FlexSeal! The product with a thousand uses!

[@HBFTimmahh]

You built my Promoto, except I have the Treal wheels and Vitavon supermoto tires on it.

[@K11RC]

I love the Mojave grom! It fastly became one of my favorites. It does get hot but with a little trimming that’s easily fixed which makes the skatepark rips last just a little longer! Great video thanks!

[@jameswisecarver]

I got my stickers today!! Thanks!! First time I was quick enough to get some!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you got them! Thanks for the support!

[@jameswisecarver]

@@scalebuildersguild not a problem boss

[@jonwarren231]

Yes! Weather the axles!!

[@MatthewEzekiel-fc5xk]

Matt dude, it's Matt from Alabama and I'm 1977 on the numbers to and Josh needs to add 2 more 7"s. Really 2 more of every number. Just saying! Anyways Yota looking tough I'm all in on weathered axles! Think that would really make the build!🤘🤘

[@scalebuildersguild]

Weathered this weekend!

[@jhrubicon1470]

I love that you use leaf springs in some of your builds. Please look up info on "missing links" in anything to do with Suzuki samurai groups. I think you'll like the idea and I would love to see you do a build using them. Thank you for your channel!

[@gabrielgrigonis9840]

Lightly spray the axle black, then lightly weather the knuckles, this way as the get scratched they will look real

[@RCCrawlerz209]

As long as I've had my TRX4M Bronco, I've been putting little upgrades, here & there on it. Lol

[@just.jose.youtube]

Weather those axles! I think it would totally match the rest of the Joanne! I love the simplicity and beat up look of your drift missile. Volvo. 👌 Hand gestures made it to this century, hurray! 🎉😁

[@AllThingsOffroad69]

Man Joanne looks so rad! Love that you do leaf spring builds. I built a tf2 4Runner modeled after my full size rig. 3 link front, leafs in the rear. It performs just as poorly as my full size rig, which is my favorite part about it 😆

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@derekhell666]

Def weather those axles and send the videos to Josh

[@kellyhartle3251]

Curious, if you ever finished restoring the blazing blazer. Look forward seeing your videos when you post them

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's my next project to finish once I'm back from vacations!

[@forrestcrabbe]

Awesome 🤘

[@koens4433]

Paint the axles teal like the real thing

[@Lampshadekid]

my mojave grom is so fun I love it.

[@mickeysrccrawl]

Dumpster fire 🔥 is the name from nates lc80/lexus. His channel is called Dirt lifestyle, here on youtube. I all ready made two of his trucks. 😅. Best Mathew, from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@DrGorillafist]

Definitely should weather JoAnn's axles...the bumper rust looks perfect, and draws you in visually making the brightness/cleanliness of the axles a big distraction (especially if you look at the Slag Factory detail)...rusting/aging the axles a bit would bring it all together IMO

[@robinkesterlives]

OMGOLLY ITS EPISODE ONE HUNDRED AND TWO!!!! 102!!!! HOLY SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Is that enough enthusiasm good sir? If not I can bring more, I know some people looking to group enthuse. So just let me know.

[@robinkesterlives]

Apologies, the people ended up not being available so this is the only enthusiasm you get for now.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@SIRLALDROID]

Weather them axles 😊

[@JonnyJetson754]

Excellent Rc Vehicles 💯🍻

[@madmikescustoms]

Trailer park Barbie is awesome, Sacramento white trash. You see them trucks all the time on the Rubicon and Fordyce trails. Please keep Joanne going. Weather the Axel's. To bad you couldn't put any chicken wire and bondo on it. Hey Matt still waiting for the RC Go kart video. Praying that I can make it to plbtf but my health isn't going to let me. God bless and keep wheeling everyone

[@scalebuildersguild]

Go back to the last Weird RC vid and you’ll see go-kart running footage!

[@raymondrios9662]

The light green truck behind you needs some air in it’s tires, augh 😱

[@scalebuildersguild]

Don't look! 😂

[@michaeltrilck5680]

Hello Sir! Noisy screaming gears in RC‘s are‘nt my best friends too… a good theme for a perfectionist like you… Right? 👍👍👍😎

[@scalebuildersguild]

You are right!

[@lakegenevascalers7226]

Still never showed us the speaker, Matt!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Who made the whip antenna? Wasn’t that pitbull?

[@scalebuildersguild]

MytrickRC makes these ones.

[@scottthompson3670]

Broke the lexan streak I see

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep!

[@overdosed51]

What is the name of that led whip??? I neeeeeed that

[@scalebuildersguild]

MyTrickRC makes them, and more will be available soon.

[@silentjde]

Can find that whip on the my trick RC website, have a link?

[@scalebuildersguild]

He's re-working some of the features and should have new ones by PLBTF.

[@TyyRC]

Matt I have an idea, make a fancy dinner for the night an right after you open some wine an get her two glasses in that’s when you pop out with the question lol after two glasses of wine that usually gets a yes for most things.. 😉 #SBGWILLWIN

[@scalebuildersguild]

I already broke the news and I'm bribing her with a manicure and dinner!

[@TyyRC]

@@scalebuildersguild well played sir, well played!

[@Mad4saxBrewery]

Love Joanne but those axels are waaaay to clean. Got my stickers today. Took how long to go the 4 hour drive down the NY thruway?? LOL (In Central NY)

[@scalebuildersguild]

Don't worry I weathered the axels. Thanks for your order and glad they got there.

[@kjflyte5088]

Rebecca Matt has got a real surprise for ya!!!! Lol... in the builders guild... he he he...😂😂😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

Ha!

[@trevorwhalen8659]

Where ya get the light whip

[@scalebuildersguild]

MyTrickRC makes them, and more will be available soon.

[@EnoughTractionRc]

Does that car on fiber chassis help with ride vibrations?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not really, there’s very little suspension, so a smooth surface is a must.

[@brandongeiger1684]

I say weather them will complete the look of the truck they are a little to shiny

[@jeremykralt8967]

What was the issue with the silent Assassin ESC. I was just about to buy it for a 2000kv 380 revolver motor for a UTB 18 build.

[@scalebuildersguild]

You’ll be fine with 2000kv. I think I just had a bad unit. Thermal cutout after five minutes regardless of actual temps.

[@thomasbialzik3060]

Is 'What's in my hand?' a new series you're releasing?

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@kellykuretich6366]

👍👍😎😎

[@Rich77UK]

I desperately want one of those MotoX bikes, but jeez...I need a mortgage. Almost cheaper to buy a real bike.

[@justinkandler4930]

leave them clean they will get natural wear

[@WoolstyRC]

Ye a slag factory over here 🇬🇧 would be a Gentleman's Club 😅 so if things go south with the wife over the wheel we got a house for a fine gentlemen like yourself 😎🤣

[@scalebuildersguild]

We're still married and she let me film on Sunday without too much complaining. Just a few eyerolls!

[@maine_rc_guy420]

It sorta looks like the rider on the pro moto is wearing a diaper 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

Maybe he is? 😂

[@allmightygreat1892]

3 days

[@justinm1150]

so what part is your wife going to be putting on the Optic you and Josh are doing

[@scalebuildersguild]

You'll have to wait and see on Wednesday!

[@bobbymulwee7641]

What's the woman's Instagram with the pink Toyota?

[@scalebuildersguild]

yotagirl16

[@bobbymulwee7641]

@@scalebuildersguild Thanks

[@DrBwacko]

I still think the lexan counter should be reset if you used it for a hard body. Maybe you should do a pole and see if other think the same and if they do no more resets when using for a hardbody

[@shafiqjan1474]

All my trucks and bicycles have Ladies' names 🩷.

[@jaredgreen502]

So u only run your RCs in the spring & the fall? Summers too hot & winters too cold?

[@scalebuildersguild]

No, I run them year-round, I just complain about them more in the height of summer and winter.

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

Joanne looks awesome, weathering looks perfect! "Slag factory" 🤣 Cool that you put that on the bumper. 😎👍

[@teleguided900]

Teal front axle!

[@Poizdrc]

POIZD RC IS READY FOR PLBTF!!! Buggy trail run is gonna be so sick!

[@verpine3534]

1. As weathered as "Joann" is, it would simply make sense for her axles to be weathered as well. 2. I think you should call your red car project "Devolve-Oh!".

[@MrOrangeBluestreek]

Johanna's "undercarriage" needs to get a little dirty... 😁 Have used the airbrush with a gray and oily color. Then took a more rusty color on the surfaces. A little less rust over places where oil collects. I looks very good on the truck. 🇸🇪🤘😎🤘🏁

[@dragonflyjoyride]

Thanks Matt! Keep JoAnne scale and weather the axles.

[@rckepka]

yeah definitely weather the axles

[@EriMCardenasRC]

Losi needs to create a MotoGP🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesmswordjr3087]

The axles need to match the rest of the truck.

[@derekhell666]

I will never ever get sick of seeing your Joanne. She is AMAZING.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@rcsnapon2132]

Sweet

[@44punisherable]

Leave the light bar off and weather the axles. Only people that like light bars are douhbags..yeah you know who are

[@scalebuildersguild]

The real truck has a lightbar, so I’ll leave it on.

[@adamleblanc8720]

Try using some thin neoprene foam on the inside of your panels for noise dampening. I use it under my body mounts and it dampens that lexan sound significantly.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Chibs_Creationz]

Volvo needs rear spacers for better wheel fitment. those wheels are sweet hella tho

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry, no. All drift cars have more width up front to allow for a better steering performance.

[@korydejong6890]

I hate to add a bit of work but it would look so much more real with the weathered axles

[@scalebuildersguild]

Done!

[@dodgeboy2146]

Id definitely own the Joanne truck that's epic!

[@ShoddyRC]

Wheel rings done and shipped! I’m excited to see them on the truck!

[@pangs33]

the volvo needs some rear wheel spacers. it's a hovercraft back there. cant wait to see that on the track

[@MK-FreedomUSA]

Are those class 0 1.55 Swampers?

[@scalebuildersguild]

No, they’re 4.75” tall, 1.9’s.

[@MK-FreedomUSA]

@@scalebuildersguild now I see the lines in the top tread. I’ve been on the hunt for the swampers without that. Like the original style. The K5 Acsenders had them.

[@aaroncarr5725]

First time ever being first! 🤘

[@aaroncarr5725]

Mojave Grom is the best of the Groms. The extra weight helps the truck stay planted. You took the time to do a crazy amount of detailing, do the axles. It’s gonna bug you if you don’t.

[@scalebuildersguild]

🏆

[@roysredneckgarage2956]

Weather the axles.
