What's On the Bench - Ep11

[@hemistormrc]

I’m a fan of your van! Amazing projects!

[@derekhell666]

The Hoonivan is amazing. Don't apologize for it! This is what the hobby should be about!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

This is my favorite series. I always forget how much you get done.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I can't decide whether this is a backhanded compliment or not... 😉

[@slowburn_1725]

The best thing about the Hoonivan is that Josh is having nightmares of those tracks...... FLAWLESS 👍👍

[@derekloomis4874]

scale locking hubs are probably the coolest thing ive seen today

[@scottharris6423]

You did yourself proud there. Great looking paint job!!! Thxs for sharing @

[@upsidedown1229]

Love the WOTB series. Its good to have mini updates on all the projects you have running. Gives me plenty of ideas too. 👏🏻

[@scalebuildersguild]

More to come!

[@robinarmstrong9790]

The hoonivan is mental, so cool, loving it. You are an inspiration.

[@Socalnik66]

You have got to the most creative rc KZbinr ever. Your painting, building and 3d printing is always top notch. You and Josh are my favorite rc guys to follow. A lot of yours and Josh’s builds have kept me busy with saving and building of my own. Just finished my Phoenix and my Scx6. Thank you for all you do inspire us to be a better rc’er

[@scalebuildersguild]

Wow, thanks! Thank you so much for these kind words and make sure to join the SBG forum to share your builds!

[@michaelhoyle3266]

I love these WOTB videos! Those locking hubs are so cool! Can't wait to get a set. That van is crazy! Hopefully you can get some snow soon to take it for a spin. Looking forward to that video.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Living in Canada means that it's only a matter of time before we get snow. It's not "if" it's "when"!

[@visionary_rc7987]

Wow those hubs are amazing!! So glad to see that in the market!

[@fredsmith-dengler9225]

Ah the memories of hopping out of the truck to lock the hubs, but one has pressure on it, and it won’t turn. Back in the truck, move it up a foot, hop out and try again…. The van looks amazing! I learned that putting your vehicle outside a couple of hours before you are planning a snow run, helps it from getting all clogged up with snow as bad as if it were warm.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I've been trying that recently, now that we finally have snow, and it definitely works!

[@RcDungeon]

The locking hubs, and the van are fantastic love it!

[@PowerhouseOffroad]

Van turned out killer Matt!!!! Great episode!!!!

[@openoutlaw]

Ok I'm mind blown by the locking hubs. Wow that is cool. I enjoy using SSD wheels I have 3 vehicles that are decked out with there wheels. Like the concept Jeep pickup also. Not sure why they don't produce that vehicle. When I was in High School a friend of mine had a Jeep Scrambler. I think Jeep should bring the Scrambler back. Great video as always. Excited to see the Hoonigan Van in action on snow. Take care Matt.

[@jamiepetrakovitz4238]

Far out man!! Need to see more of that shaggin wagon!!

[@jerroldtaylor3047]

Those SSD locking hubs look frink'n awesome

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@johnsavage7842]

Love the van , it's really different

[@darkhorsegarage9623]

This is such a great format idea. Twice the Matt for the same price. Can’t wait to see you there.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@ThatsQuacktastic]

I bought the SSD hub lock kit because of this video. I love it. Its on my XJ but I think I need a chevy truck body for it.

[@OldManoftheMtRC]

Looks cool ! Like it. They have tracked vans that climb Mount Washington auto road. Here in New Hampshire USA

[@dirtyrivrc]

The van is awesome. But I was blown away by those locking hubs.... so much want there

[@mattiasrc]

Hoonivan is frekkin awesome.

[@thegoat78]

that locking hub is MAXIMUM Chuffage.

[@shanewayney]

Wow, the van is super cool. Wasn't expecting it and done so well.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@chriswalter4887]

great video, like to see tomorrow

Could call your Tuesday stream What's STILL On The Bench! 😁👍

[@stevestonrcguy5393]

Cool, amazing paint job🤠👍

[@brianmassey7563]

As soon as I saw that van from Carisma I knew I wanted to do a build...then this happens. I'm never fast enough!

[@danweiss4928]

The body would look good on like a Traxxas summit trail truck🥸

[@rc4minions]

Matt, have you considered using your 3D printed body for your comp 2 and 3 rig as a mold. Vacuum form yourself a lighter body. make several bodies for back up. then remove the forming materials from the 3D body and use the body for class 1. Im sure Josh could use His Vaccum form machine to help. seperate note print yourself a tapered bed seperate for the class 2 and 3. just a thought. Cheers.

[@wesmadebuilds681]

It is 1:7.5 scale. The original customer wanted it to fit on a stock SCX10 chassis. It’s tough making small vehicles since there are not many good chassis options. Can’t wait to see this finished. I am sure it will be amazing.

[@bigrig4630]

I love that van. 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@chancesloan4147]

The van is sweet

[@1darnright19]

I actually have one of those Tamiya Hilux trucks with the locking front hubs.

[@rcmikeklein5512]

So you made a Hoonivan,,,,,. I really have to say I am battling with myself as to whether I love it or really hate it on every level but I do know, if I were to build it, I wouldn't be able to let the wife see it she thinks I'm already crazy enough. Anyway always a pleasure to see what you do next , keep up the great work while paving new roads toward creative ideas that encourage us all to stretch our imagination to achieve the impossible and unthinkable.

[@scalebuildersguild]

My wife already thinks I'm crazy, it no longer matters what I build 😂 . Thanks for watching!

[@rcmikeklein5512]

@@scalebuildersguild now that sounds like a very relieving realization and words to live by, come to think of it I'm pretty sure I have been in this accepted level of crazy for quite some time now

Those ssd rc hubs are awesome, time will tell if they can take the abuse we put out tiny trucks through, definitely want a set, your sherpa is taking great shape, mines on the back burner since my Holmes items I need are backordered for the time being, hoonievan looks awesome

[@CoachD386]

Yesssir! Hyrax are my go to here in FL... Nice WOTB episode 💪🏾💯

[@adamkaser4759]

My 2019 f-250 still has manual locking hubs. I’m not much a fan of Monster logos, tracks, vans, or snowboards (bad knees)😂,yet I am absolutely blown away by that build. I would put it in my top 3 lexan builds of all time… And I now have to own or build it👍🏻

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! That's a real compliment, and sorry about your knees 😉

[@vbspeed7571]

J6 is cool asf, real nice, i need to get wes to do a cateye for me

[@Dokroc78]

Van looks amazing!

[@ConditionZero76]

Great Project looks Awesome, I'll add, that for trail or comp anything over 15% Max 20 % overdrive impedes the truck & works against you regardless the weight of the vehicle etc, most definitely doesn't help, but it sells $$ 💵 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

Is this based on some actual testing, or just your opinion?

[@kevinbreaker2683]

Neat stuff👍👍💪

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Matt The van looks great dude. You should (some how) show this to the Ken Block folks. I'm sure they would appreciate it. Those locking hubs look great and make me say mmmmmm, next project. As always great video and look forward to the new format.

[@wraptgrafix6338]

As I was about to ask are the stl files available you mentioned them. Can’t wait to see the finished result as I will be going and buying the files once this finishes to print for a ‘24 project I have in mind. And thank you for doing the Land Rover body on your 24 as I’d already printed an old VW van cab for one of my projects that is on the shelf to do over my xmas holiday at the end of January now due to real paid work getting in the way

[@danweiss4928]

I think the choice of body is going to be really cool if you can make it work. The truck ends up top-heavy don’t be so proud that you can’t place it. Winning is not everything it’s the only thing. Just joking. It’s about friends & fun !! I really enjoy watching your show! thanks Dan

[@jerryvolpini7987]

The Hoonivan - ugly, impractical, just weird - I LOVE IT, lmao! Btw, great paint and no apologies needed, amazing build! Very interested to see your review of the Rebel RC 👍 And, please, more WOTB!

[@BlueDually4x4]

The hoonivan is awesome, the proper amount of ridiculous and custom. The locking hubs seem a little odd as aside from the RC4WD Toyotas, the Power Wagon and the old Bronco and Blazer every other body on the market would have automatic locking hubs.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep, for sure. But, for those builds that need them, oh boy!

[@cookeemon67]

my 93 ranger had locking hubs like that. my brother didnt know you had to lock them and rear ended someone one winter haha

[@scalebuildersguild]

Oops!

[@TheBlackthornPlan]

The J6 body looks great, I'd like to make something similar for the scx6

[@scalebuildersguild]

Scale it up, baby!

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Well I’m a dummy , I ordered the wrong set of SSD locking hubs. Ordered for the Trail King offset and I knew you said SCX10II, I had to find this specific video and found the link which thereafter it all started making sense. Guess I will be buying a trail king as well

[@scalebuildersguild]

Oops! More trucks is never a bad thing though!

[@paulmcnamara16]

Not a fan of the tracks but oh my god I love that van! 😉👌

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@kevinraabe8643]

My 2017 super duty has locking hubs

[@stevenmorgan999]

I can’t find the ssd manual locking hubs anywhere yet! These are a must have for a few builds!

[@scalebuildersguild]

They should be out soon.

[@reallyisitjustme]

Haven't even got a scale crawler yet and I so want those wheel hubs. I can remember my dad fitting some to the front wheels of his Land Rover so that he could disengage the 4 wheel drive. I hope to build a scale model of it soon, Killerbody D90 on a Carisma SCA-1E chassis but will the hubs fit?

[@DoubleADay]

Could you check to see if those hubs will work on the gmade Buffalo? Regular ssd knuckles work

[@Nickwillfixit]

The J6 would be the only Jeep I would own if they ever decided to sell it.

[@Dr.Crawler]

Where in Alabama are you coming to? Would love to meet you!! I thought Scale Nationals was in Little rock Arkansas.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry, I get Arkansas and Alabama confused.

[@rexrcs]

Hoonivan has ford logo on side and chevy logo on front grill? Lol doesnt matter I love the van ford chevy!

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's the joke.

[@rexrcs]

@@scalebuildersguild yea. Im in much agreeance( i know, not a word)

[@gigawattrc]

Sick as

[@brianellison3525]

Us 1/1 crawlers use the locking hubs on our locked up diffs to get 3 wheel drive in the twisties. It makes the rig track better. I'm curious and am going to have to look into them. We like to break out our RC's when someone gets stuck or any other break we take while wheelin. On your cross class truck, are you keeping the same body between the two? Seems an easy way to get a better cg would be to take advantage of some of the lighter body requirements. Just askin. Love your stuff man. Have fun

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good insights, thank you! I'd like to do something light, but I always tend to go for looks first. Sigh.

[@LorenB.]

Hey Matt, can you check and see if the SSD locking hubs will work with your VP Currie RockJock? Would really love to know as it would be an awesome addition to the '78 Land Cruiser, on my scx102.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep, I can check. Since that axle is essentially a aluminum version of an SCX10II axle, it should fit. I'll double check, possibly even tonight on the livestream.

[@LorenB.]

@@scalebuildersguild I'm thinking it should as you have mentioned. I just don't want to get my hopes up and tell the cruiser it'll have some new parts coming, then have to let the ol' girl down.😆
