Spudworks x24 Crawler Chassis

Designed for strong crawling performance and high customization, co-developed with @clancy_rc for dedicated builders.

This versatile chassis supports a wide range of wheelbase and suspension link configurations. We really like the Deadbolt fronts so having beeing running the Deadiator (145mm wheelbase) and D90 (155mm wheelbase) setups, both of which offer good articulation and capability. The 16° skid angle provides a solid balance of ground clearance and breakover angle.

V2 Changes:

• Please download V2 - x24 Final.3mf (this has all the files in it)
• Change bolt spacing on skid to 8mm to work with other skids (from transmission makers)
• Added more bolt holes for front lower links
• Body mounts now use 6mm magnets
• Add degree labels to skid plates (labels on flat spot that still faces to back of chassis)
• Add sloped sliders and alternate rear body mount (works with Jimny, requires 12mm magnet)
• other fine-tuning

-uploaded zip of seperate stl files for those who have issues with their slicer

Skidplate Options

Three skidplate designs are available to suit different motor positions and driveline layouts:

• Flat — simple
• 4° correction — Improves driveline angle and lowers motor in rear-facing setups.
• 9° correction — could be helpful with forward facing motor to reduce link interference? (It was our first skid that we used for a bit)

Link Mounting

• Inboard or outboard link positions for easy adjustments
• Extra upper link mounting points for additional tuning
• Additional upper link mounting points for even more tuning options. On the Deadiator WB, use a Deadbolt rear upper link with Gladiator rear lowers for dialed-in geometry.

Battery Tray

The recommended setup places the motor rear-facing with the battery mounted low and centered between the chassis rails for better weight distribution and lower center of gravity. The tray mounts horizontally in front of the transmission for a secure and balanced layout. The battery tray will also fit in the behind the motor (in the upper link holes).

Body Mounting

Bodies can be secured using 6mm, 8mm or 12mm magnets for quick removal and a clean appearance. Integrated mount points are also included for rubber bands to add axle constraint when needed for stability on steep or technical terrain. Recomend gettting N52 strength magnets for the strongest hold. There is also a simple version for velcro.

Sliders

The default are flat sliders in the main file, but I added in some sloped sliders. There are two variations that should work with the Jimny body (may work with others). I started with the lower version, but ended up redoing it once I had the actual stance/shocks figured out.
