What's on the Bench Weekly Ep36 - BROKE

[@brianbutton1591]

Handlebar broke before the crash. That’s what caused the crash lol

[@Andy_C_aka_Cliff_McCrawl]

Breaking your snowmobile is like the most scale thing you could possibly do with a snowmobile! 😂

[@J33P4D00R]

I think taking your time and really fleshing out a solid scape build like yours only adds to the model. Gives it a very personal meaning and the hidden details aren't always for the world to see. I feel like those are more for you own enjoyment. Another great whats on the bench ... weekly! Keep it up loving the content.

[@andrewmagro7703]

only 11 mins but every single second of it is worthy and useful watching and 100% entertaining thanks for such a great put together show Matt, love it

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

The snowmobile turned out great, too bad it broke but you’ll fix it. I’m loving the cucv, the 8 lug wheels look legit, and the fj vanquish looks great too

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Awesome as usual! Love the rider holding on for dear life after the handlebars broke😂

I think you're doing fine Matt I haven't managed to finish any projects in the last six months ! But have started quite a few 😬

[@adammtber5199]

It is great that you mention that conditions and user error causes breakage. There are so many folks blaming the manufacturer for a break.

[@LRCR]

Wow Matthew it's hard to believe this is episode 36 ... Time fly's when you're having fun... Glad the driver rode it out with the carnage in that crash 😉😜 Those are some nice Feature's added to the Phoenix and I like the stance of it too 😃😯😃 Those wheel's are okay but think they need to be 1.55 to fit the stock scale look that you are working for..?? ✌🤠👍 Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend 🏁💯🏁

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks man!

[@forrestcrabbe]

The vanquish looks real nice 🤘🍻🤘

[@trevorb3521]

That Skeeride is sick! I've got a couple of suggestions from someone who rides a sled. Weight distribution is key for steering so more weight on the front end and weight that can shift from left to right with steering. Basically you have a mountain scale sled that wants to catwalk the front end up with those "scale" 3" lugs. Another thing is to spread out the ski stance to make it more stable like trail sleds are.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the tips!

[@cjv29er]

Hope to see a running video of that Phoenix portal with the CCHand parts. That rear cage looks awesome.

[@jaredmarston7203]

Thanks for everything!

[@scalebuildersguild]

My pleasure!

[@mikerainey3847]

Like your Phoenix! I had a blast building mine and of course had to pick up the rtr version as well. Thank you Sir!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@brandaneakright6082]

I’m really digging that cucv, sucks about the sled braking but it can be fixed. I just had to redo my Chevy k10 hardbody I done for my trx4, took it out and broke the bed on the first run. I’m working on a redcat marksman right now trying to scale it out, but not really finding a lot for it. Keep up the good work.

[@AllenAHat]

Do you have a link for where you got the dash from? And thanks for the excellent content.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Search "scalebuilt" on Instagram to find him.

[@AllenAHat]

@@scalebuildersguild Thanks

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

The Vanquish looks so good. The suspension drop really helped the overall look a lot. The front light bar/guard is a very welcome addition. Hey, heads up, NSDRC just re-released their flat roof rack in CF and aluminum. I bet that would finish off the top side of this really well. Also, the F150 looks sweet on the shelf. Looking forward to seeing some running video of that when the weather breaks.

[@mikes062]

I’ve got a set of those Goodyear Wrangler’s on my TRX4 Blazer, they’re so cool!

[@smashtj666]

I make sure project trucks are runners....the plans for later is what gets put off.....like my rc4wd d110 body on a scx10iii chassis....it's a runner but needs tweaks,well here comes the drift scene...which is a mix of performance and scale...and driving a drift car correctly is the most satisfying feeling I have ever had from a rc car...getting scale trucks(hardbody)to work well is a great feeling.....but nothing like drifting,it's a slow motion art form.....look into it...

[@tonyspencer4379]

Well... If you woulda got out there with your kyosho blizzard and groomed them dang trails... 🤣. I would have been heart broken breaking that snowmobile with all the time involved printing.

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's no big deal, parts can be printed again! I'd feel a lot worse if I had to order them online and wait!

[@TVsGringoStarr]

I also used to be better suited to powder, but I had to leave my partying days behind.

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@KearSki]

Gaaaah. I want those wheels! My planned suburban build I want to be a 2500 on 8 bolt wheels, I was planning on making hubcabs to go over some generic wheels but those wheels would look amazing. As for getting side tracked? No noo. Never. I 100% don't have several partal projects sitting around...although my 3d printer will help move them out of the backlog.

[@captainkidd1329]

I love the vanquish/FJ that’s really cool ima steel some those ideas. I’m glad that I can run a good bead with Tig and have a 3d printer with wood Filament Mud flaps would look really good on there

[@BSalc]

VS4-10 (straight axle)is next on my list…. Really like what you did to it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽.. you’re awesome!

[@GrimJerr]

Too bad you didn't get a full run in on the snowmobile but I'm not going to wish more snow on you just to get a running video, mother nature may have other plans before winter is over so we'll have to wait and see if you get another chance this year.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I predict another snowstorm before we get Spring here!

[@theoalbert897]

I've already though of a fix for steering, run a servo and a weight where the driver is and make him lean into the turn, that's basically how a real sled is, if your not leaning into it your not turning too well.

[@brianellison3525]

The sled is awesome! Is it possible to 3D print over a steel wire frame? Seems like a way to reinforce the high abuse parts like those handlebars. Just a thought. Excellent work on the Toy Phoenix. Thanks for sharing. Be well.

[@theELiTEboarder]

Which TPU did you use for the skee ride track?

[@timjohnson9406]

Can you run a gyro? Usually the driver leans to counter it tipping, thats what I see as the problem.

[@joshheitzenroder365]

🤣🤣 Ski ride hit a stump and tore off control arms! It truly is scale!

[@44punisherable]

You really gotta get a handle on that snow machine situation there Matt! However it does look like it did decently well in those clips. Food for thought... could you actually get those arm's and have them made from aluminum I think could help with the handling but I think you've already thought about it. Anyways looks like you got it handled lol Also it's always work and life that gets front seat before I can finish a build. Got four projects and a few kits I haven't even opened yet and that doesn't count Lego kits. I'll get to it one day hopefully. Thanks for the video Matt 👍

[@bigjeep_littlejeep3777]

one quick question. Basher scaler truck. I want something fast but scale looking. Is that a possibility? what do you recommend to take out to the park and abuse.

[@mitsuman5555]

Luckily, replacement parts are infinitely available 🙂

[@danrcman5769]

Awesome build on the snowmobile man I'm building my phenoix as we speak

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good luck and have fun!

[@marcconnor4837]

You need Skaggs on the bottom on your skis. What it will do is to help with the turning. Your skis are just sliding on top of the wet surface of the snow

[@paulmaigler289]

It has them but they are probably just a bit too small to make them effective

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's right Paul, they're there, just not useful in this type of snow/ice/slush.

Is the krylon clear coat the way to protect acrylic airbrush work? Is there a clear coat that works best over Vallejo? Im a mech builder and im trying my first hardbody, id hate to put a bunch of time into a paintjob and then melt it 😄, actually hard to find info. Cheers!

@Scale Builder's Guild you're right rc4wd will cost you more. I think there's 30 or maybe 40 bucks difference between rc4wd and Ali on the bed alone. The difference for me is one place says i won't get my parts until the second week in April. So for Me, not having the wait is worth a little bit extra. I'm sure on the small parts there's only a few dollars difference

[@BlindGuyRc]

If things break, it means you use them. Luckily with that build... you can just make the parts. The rims look great, I agree a deeper dish may be better. I love how that bed looks. I am thinking about printing/buying first then printing.... the overland rack and rooftop tent set up from knight customs for my Phoenix. My first Phoenix is the trail truck, and I want it to just be scaled out. The other 2 Phoenix chassis are not really a Phoenix anymore hahahaha. Just a perfect chassis so haha. Great episode. Why wouldn't you sub and click the bell. It's easy and free.... unlike Netflix, amd you don't ask for personal data hahaha. 😂
