SCX24 Shock tower and LCG battery mount

thingiverse

I wanted to shed some pounds and redistribute my weight, along with eliminating high mounts and body posts. This is still a work in progress, but it's been working beautifully so far. It relocates the ESC/receiver towards the back and shifts the battery up front, since it weighs twice as much as the electronics. I despise body pins, so I opted for velcro instead. Magnets could also be used. The shock tower boasts multiple mounting points to raise or lower your ride height. The slots on the sides work perfectly with zipties (displayed) or rubber bands to secure your battery. Keep in mind that your battery wires will likely be a tad short after this mod. I added a JST plug inline to utilize a real LIPO charger. The ESC is sandwiched between the frame rails at the rear. I decided to use a bit of shoe goo just to ensure it stays put. Make sure you inspect for any interference with the suspension and driveshaft before deciding to glue it in place. I've also included an STL file for a rear brace to help hold everything together. Keep in mind that this design was created from a Axial C10 long wheelbase 1/24. I'm unsure if it will work on the older deadbolt 1/24. I utilized custom supports to elevate it up from the buildplate. --EDIT-- 12/6/20 (V2_3) Added gussets/radii to the shock mounting tabs for added strength.
