NYA30 V1.0 – Custom SCX30 Crawler Chassis

Not Your Average 30 (NYA30) — V1.0 The Not Your Average 30 (NYA30) is my custom-designed SCX30 crawler chassis, featuring an aggressively angled skid (approximately 30°), a high-clearance design, and a completely reworked drivetrain layout. What started as a relatively simple custom chassis project turned into something quite a bit more involved!   Check out a short clip here: https://youtube.com/shorts/Sxg5JXGQgmU?si=5fwSwudtxrg0U17s   The NYA30 features: Approximately 30° angled skid designed to improve breakover clearance. Custom chassis rails and integrated transmission mounting. Relocated drivetrain with a custom auxiliary shaft carrier. Custom short U-joint connecting the transmission to the auxiliary carrier. Integrated battery slider and mounting provisions. Compatibility with stock-length links. Designed around 29 mm shocks, front and rear. Body Mount Magnets 6 mm diameter × 2 mm thick N52 neodymium disc magnets Check magnet polarity before gluing them into place. Print Settings / Recommendations The included print profile is configured for a 0.2 mm nozzle. All parts were printed and tested using a 0.2 mm nozzle. A 0.4 mm nozzle has not been tested due to the small mounting holes and fine details. A 0.4 mm nozzle may work, but minor adjustments or hole cleanup may be required. Important Build Information This is not a direct bolt-on chassis conversion. Some drivetrain components require modification, including trimming the transmission housing and modifying the driveshaft arrangement. The build uses a MEUS transmission along with components from a second, donor transmission. An original SCX30 transmission can be used for the donor components. IMPORTANT: The MEUS rear driveshaft cannot simply be shortened by 6.5 mm on both telescoping sections. Doing so leaves insufficient shaft engagement. Please review the assembly instructions before modifying any drivetrain components. A PDF assembly guide is included with the required hardware, modifications, and installation instructions. Please read the assembly instructions before starting your build.
