SCX24 Rear Cage for AMT 92 Toyota pickup

thingiverse

This rear cage for the Axial SCX24 is designed specifically for the 1992 Toyota pickup body from AMT, requiring a lightweight construction. It demands two M2x6mm screws to secure the cage to the cab. To properly position the cage, the rear of the cab needs to be carefully cut to clear essential electronics and ensure accurate mounting height (cutting in this recess), which is 21 mm up from the bottom of the cab and extends all the way to the sides. However, leaving about 1mm on each side is acceptable. I've included a template for cutting out the top panel for the cage, making it easier with simple scaling down to 99.5%-99% so it fits without needing further adjustments. I used .5mm styrene for my build. Additional details can be found in my build thread on RCCrawler at http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/micro-scale-rigs/609167-whittling-scx24-3.html#post5946930. I utilized the included hinge STL with the front battery tray and body mount, which is available here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3677918), and set the body post at its lowest position. Alternatively, you can create your own front mount, as I believe using the stock mount at its lowest position results in a .5mm higher clearance, which might be sufficient.
