5. 0:09>> Gentlemen, welcome to the video. Sit
6. 0:11back and relax. We got a good one. Today
7. 0:13we're looking at a custom metal body AMT
8. 0:17Toyota SCX24 with leaf springs. And
9. 0:21right here is the guy that sent this
10. 0:22truck in and built it. cg_crawls_401
11. 0:31Let's see what we got.
12. 0:33This isn't mine by the way. I did not
13. 0:35buy this.
14. 0:36I saw this on Instagram. I messaged him
15. 0:38immediately whenever I realized it was a
16. 0:41metal body and had leaf springs and he
17. 0:43was down to send it.
18. 0:45All right, what do we have here? Looks
19. 0:47like this is the truck.
20. 0:50There's juicy gummy clusters. First time
21. 0:52seeing that. Thank you.
22. 0:55Lemonhead ropes. Thank you.
23. 0:57What do we have here? Oh, that's the
24. 0:58metal panels that he used. Okay. And
25. 1:00then oh, this is so cool. So, he cut the
26. 1:03panels
27. 1:05Gentlemen, I have just sat here
28. 1:07unboxing, filming and talking about this
29. 1:09thing for over an hour and the camera
30. 1:11wasn't even on. So, bear with me.
31. 1:14Everything's already been unboxed. I've
32. 1:16already talked about this once. So,
33. 1:17let's just quickly try this again.
34. 1:19Getting right into it.
35. 1:21Right here is the truck and this is
36. 1:24awesome.
37. 1:26So, fenders, door,
38. 1:28bedside, all metal.
39. 1:30And right here is the pieces that he
40. 1:32used. You can see that they're modified.
41. 1:36I think I did film a clip actually of me
42. 1:38showing
43. 1:39the actual build process. If that clip
44. 1:41came out, go ahead and insert that right
45. 1:42now. Reminder to myself.
46. 1:44Had to step out of the sun for a minute.
47. 1:46I just wanted to show some of the
48. 1:48pictures here throughout the build
49. 1:49process. So, here you can see like the
50. 1:51original wheel wells, how tiny they are.
51. 1:55Uh right there is opening
52. 1:59opening the wheel well and like ex-
53. 2:01extending that.
54. 2:02Same for the back.
55. 2:05>> [laughter]
56. 2:06>> Right here is cutting the panels out.
57. 2:10Here's cutting the entire front end
58. 2:12apart.
59. 2:25So, yeah, getting back into this right
60. 2:26here is the
61. 2:27the molds that he made and then right
62. 2:29here is the metal sheets. This was like
63. 2:31pressed over this stuff
64. 2:33and it made this. And then he also has
65. 2:35these little tape pieces here for like
66. 2:37getting around the corners, the real
67. 2:39tight corners.
68. 2:40And if anyone wants instructions on how
69. 2:42this was all done, I'm not going to read
70. 2:44through all this, but I will go ahead
71. 2:45and put it on camera.
72. 2:47Uh, of course, feel free to go back and
73. 2:48pause this like if you want to know
74. 2:50information. So, dent body, right here
75. 2:53is step one.
76. 2:54Just going to go ahead and put that
77. 2:55right there. 36 gauge
78. 2:57metal.
79. 2:58And then right here is the rest of the
80. 3:00steps.
81. 3:01I'll just go down through it slowly.
82. 3:05Not meant to be read right now. Just
83. 3:07pause it if you
84. 3:08if you want to go back and check it out.
85. 3:12And what else? Is there anything else I
86. 3:14should
87. 3:15Oh, and then some of the accessories
88. 3:16here are really cool. The front winch
89. 3:17plate and winch cable he made and then
90. 3:20used a LEGO winch.
91. 3:23Made the hook himself and then
92. 3:25a piece from LEGO.
93. 3:27The cooler he made from scratch from
94. 3:28styrene and he has it like on a loose
95. 3:30piece of Velcro. So, as it kind of bumps
96. 3:32around the trail,
97. 3:33uh, the cooler flops around, which is
98. 3:35awesome.
99. 3:36This piece here was like a life
100. 3:37preserver buoy thing that comes with the
101. 3:40Toyota model body and he repurposed it
102. 3:42into a little fuel tank. And then these
103. 3:45drive shafts, which I love this idea
104. 3:47right here. These drive shafts are just
105. 3:49a
106. 3:50a piece that came with the model body.
107. 3:52So, they're extremely lightweight, they
108. 3:53don't do anything, and they look perfect
109. 3:55in the bed.
110. 3:58This is all over the place. Okay, and
111. 4:00then just to quickly reread the first
112. 4:02part here that he sent to me. Thank you
113. 4:03so much for your interest in my dented
114. 4:05panel AMT yard to build. My son Charlie
115. 4:06and I are huge fans of your channel. He
116. 4:08especially likes your Racing Rigs
117. 4:09episode and is psyched that one of our
118. 4:11rigs will be in your hands. This truck
119. 4:12is technically my daughter Margaret's,
120. 4:14and she is psyched that something of
121. 4:15hers will be featured by a famous
122. 4:17YouTube star.
123. 4:19Margaret, this is one heck of a truck.
124. 4:22Put lots of dents and scratches in it,
125. 4:24that's what it's made for. Though, in my
126. 4:25maiden run, I found it was harder to do
127. 4:26than I thought, not because the material
128. 4:27was too thick, but because it was hard
129. 4:28to find scale terrain that would dent
130. 4:30your body without going ham and rolling
131. 4:31it off ledges and stuff. It's not a line
132. 4:33slider, but a pretty capable trail rig
133. 4:34crawl for fun. Would love to see it try
134. 4:36the drunken frog, though I don't think
135. 4:37it would make it. And I will gladly try
136. 4:39that. And I Something I want to quickly
137. 4:41mention about this, this is way sturdier
138. 4:44than I thought it would be. Like, I I
139. 4:46completely understand what he means
140. 4:48about trying to find something that'll
141. 4:49actually dent this without just like
142. 4:51throwing it off the edge. This is It's
143. 4:54not flimsy at all. This feels
144. 4:56uh it feels really good. Oh, and then
145. 4:59the leaf springs, I forgot about that.
146. 5:00Uh leaf springs, let me just quickly
147. 5:02show that in case anyone wants to copy
148. 5:03it. I'm not going to read over
149. 5:05everything, but if anyone wants to pause
150. 5:08this part here
151. 5:11and read through it.
152. 5:135 mm wide recoil spring from a pull
153. 5:15start motor like a weed whacker or
154. 5:17chainsaw.
155. 5:18And right here is like the leaf spring
156. 5:21material that I used. Anyways, if anyone
157. 5:23wants to pause this
158. 5:24and kind of use it as like a guide
159. 5:27for leaf springs, there you go.
160. 5:31Okay, and I guess I need to do another
161. 5:33build breakdown, so
162. 5:36let's first just take a close look at
163. 5:38this truck and appreciate it.
164. 5:48Rusted wheels,
165. 5:54You can kind of see the leaf spring
166. 5:55sticking out the back there, super cool.
167. 5:59The paint also looks really good.
168. 6:20Okay, stock axles front and rear. Big
169. 6:23brass stiff cover in the rear. Big brass
170. 6:25stiff cover in the front. Brass knuckles
171. 6:26with also some
172. 6:28little brass standoff things glued on
173. 6:30there.
174. 6:31Little extensions here on the links to
175. 6:32kind of stretch the front out some.
176. 6:35I think these might be old RC four-wheel
177. 6:37drive wheels. Um but regardless, just
178. 6:39like a standard steely with super
179. 6:42swamper tires.
180. 6:44And the body is held on with magnets.
181. 6:46There's the bottom of the body. You can
182. 6:47kind of see around the edges here
183. 6:50how the metal is like folded down and
184. 6:51around.
185. 6:57And then the inside
186. 7:00of the panels
187. 7:16Using a stock chassis with a custom
188. 7:18front piece here to relocate the shocks.
189. 7:21Double barrel shocks with the band
190. 7:24going kind of down and around onto the
191. 7:26servo. PTK servo.
192. 7:28Enjoy purple fat viper.
193. 7:31Uh Endura ESC
194. 7:34Okay, uh let's try that again. Endura
195. 7:36ESC
196. 7:37and a better look at the leaf spring
197. 7:40setup. I don't really
198. 7:42know what to say about it. So, you guys
199. 7:44can just look.
200. 7:56And it attaches up here.
201. 8:00Again, sorry. I don't really know what
202. 8:01to say about the leaf springs. Just uh
203. 8:04look and enjoy.
204. 8:15Doesn't seem that bad as far as flexing.
205. 8:19As far as the build goes, nothing too
206. 8:20crazy here, of course, aside from the
207. 8:22leaf springs. If we're not looking at
208. 8:23the leaf springs, nothing too crazy with
209. 8:25the build. Seems like a
210. 8:28a good solid trail truck,
211. 8:30like he had said. Okay, cool. Hopefully
212. 8:32the camera was on. Hopefully all of this
213. 8:34filmed.
214. 8:35And next clip, oh, we need to weigh it.
215. 8:38Okay, let's weigh it and then
216. 8:41go do some crawling. Put some dents in
217. 8:43it. Or at least scratch it.
218. 8:45Turn on the closure scales. This is with
219. 8:47the battery installed.
220. 8:49And here's what we got. 55 front,
221. 8:54492 total.
222. 9:39All right, boys. Who was wanting to try
223. 9:40the jumping frog?
224. 9:42We'll see how close we get.
225. 10:28Okay.
226. 10:30>> [laughter]
227. 10:30>> I don't want to push it too much.
228. 12:36>> This might be our first scratch
229. 12:37incoming.
230. 12:45Oh, maybe not. I thought that jagged
231. 12:46edge would hit up on the door.
232. 12:56Another potential door scratch right
233. 12:57here.
234. 13:05Yep, looks like we keep hitting the
235. 13:06metal slider down below the door.
236. 13:17Oh,
237. 13:18shoot.
238. 15:09>> We've been through two truck battery
239. 15:10packs, three camera batteries, and I
240. 15:12still have yet to dent or scratch this
241. 15:14thing. So, here's the plan.
242. 15:17I put this rock here with the old door
243. 15:18denter sticking outwards. I'm going to
244. 15:21just try and turn, going around this.
245. 15:24And sure hope we don't dent the truck.
246. 15:30I think that's not going to work. Dang
247. 15:31it.
248. 15:40Well, no dent, but I think we at least
249. 15:42got a scratch from that.
250. 15:43Oh, yeah. Wow, we got two scratches.
251. 15:47>> [snorts]
252. 15:47>> Door dent attempt number three.
253. 15:51I'm going to try and fall off the edge
254. 15:53onto this sharp edge.
255. 16:12Dude, how are we not
256. 16:15>> [laughter]
257. 16:16>> I thought this would flip over so
258. 16:17easily.
259. 16:20Oh, there we go, boys. That's good
260. 16:22enough.
261. 16:33I could probably still pop that out from
262. 16:34the back and it wouldn't even be
263. 16:36noticeable. Mission successful.
264. 16:45Also, real quick, just for the record
265. 16:46here, the owner and the builder of this
266. 16:47truck was extremely into me putting a
267. 16:49dent in it. Normally, I would never try
268. 16:51and damage somebody's truck like that.
269. 16:58All right, boys, final thoughts on the
270. 16:59metal body AMT Toyota.
271. 17:02Right off the bat, this is probably one
272. 17:04of the coolest
273. 17:06things that I've seen in a very long
274. 17:07time. The metal body. And if you
275. 17:09disagree, you're wrong.
276. 17:11And also, not only is the metal body
277. 17:13super cool, he did a very good job at
278. 17:16painting this. Like even if this wasn't
279. 17:17a metal body, I think the paint looks
280. 17:19really, really good.
281. 17:21The little cooler that moves around,
282. 17:22homemade cooler out of styrene that
283. 17:25moves around, love that. Definitely a
284. 17:27trail truck, like he had said. Not
285. 17:29really that capable at all, and I
286. 17:31actually struggled to
287. 17:33get clips of it. So, hopefully
288. 17:35the video turns into something that's
289. 17:36watchable. I really think some better
290. 17:38tires and
291. 17:40a better weight distribution would go a
292. 17:43long way for this thing.
293. 17:45I also think this is a really good
294. 17:46candidate for like a real wide, low,
295. 17:49beefy boy look. I think that's the
296. 17:51perfect thing to pair with a metal body
297. 17:53to make it look like a realistic rock
298. 17:54crawler. Let me just run inside real
299. 17:56quick and see if I have a different
300. 17:57chassis to to just set this body on to
301. 18:00kind of see like how it would look. I'll
302. 18:01be right back.
303. 18:03All right, we're back. That was harder
304. 18:04than I expected to find a beefy boy
305. 18:06chassis to place under this. Completely
306. 18:08fine as is, it looks cool. Like, the
307. 18:10stance and the fitment of it right here
308. 18:12looks cool. Another small thing that
309. 18:13bothers me about this, and not just this
310. 18:16build, every build that's like this,
311. 18:17this is always something that kind of
312. 18:19irks me, is whenever the slider there's
313. 18:22a gap between the body and the slider. I
314. 18:24like that to be Oh, actually, you could
315. 18:26probably just bend these up a little bit
316. 18:28and have it like sit with the body. I
317. 18:29think that would look so much better. It
318. 18:31just bugs me so much seeing that
319. 18:35right there.
320. 18:37Yeah, so if this was my truck, I would
321. 18:39probably
322. 18:40try and bend these up. They might need a
323. 18:42little bit chopped off of them and then
324. 18:43like bend them up in line with the body.
325. 18:46I I think that's a small detail that
326. 18:47would make a big difference.
327. 18:49Um, the rest of the truck pretty much
328. 18:50good as is. As far as capability goes, I
329. 18:52think more front weight, changing the
330. 18:54tires, and of course like I said, I also
331. 18:57think a really wide, low look would be
332. 19:00cool with this. But, overall, extremely
333. 19:02cool build. This is awesome. Leaf
334. 19:04springs. I keep forgetting about the
335. 19:06leaf springs.
336. 19:07How did I feel about the leaf springs?
337. 19:10I'm not sure how I felt about the leaf
338. 19:11springs. The truck still seems to like
339. 19:14move nicely as far as a a trail truck
340. 19:17would. So, I don't think I have anything
341. 19:18bad to say about the leaf springs. And I
342. 19:21also think it's really cool being able
343. 19:22to kind of see them sticking out the
344. 19:23back there a little bit. So, overall
345. 19:26here, not that capable, but I still
346. 19:28think this is a 10 out of 10.
347. 19:30This is awesome. Thank you so much for
348. 19:32sending this.
349. 19:35Awesome. Thank you guys for watching.
350. 19:37That's all I got for this one. Thank you
351. 19:38for your time.
352. 19:40Hope you enjoyed.
353. 19:47Peace.
