Description

**Launch Edition kits will be limited to 40 units and will be available 4/20/2025 at 4:20pm and like the Gizmo launch, they should begin shipping within a week after launch. Each will have hand etched serial numbers. Each of these kits will come with the specially designed Hybrid V2 Gremlin links.**

Introducing the newest addition to the lineup competition driven chassis from NerdRC: the Gremlin.

The Gremlin takes many of the features that made the Gizmo so effective in RCMCCA class 1 and adapts a few of them to make it a class 2 juggernaut. This chassis is meant to be used with forward aggressive geometry, and even has a recommended specialty link length. This link combination is very similar in overall wheelbase as a SCX24 Gladiator or Powerwagon, but the front links are shorter and rear links are longer. With this link geometry combined with a 20 degree skid angle, the Gremlin has as much clearance as is possible without running a carrier bearing (carrier bearings are not RCMCCA C2 legal).

Just like the Gizmo, the Gremlin features longer than industry standard shocks. This is not a coincidence. They help provide as much clearance as possible but keep obstacles from snagging your body or letting an obstacle get on the upper side of your rear tires. Use them like real rock sliders on a full size rock crawler to slide tire to tire or as a pivot point around obstacles.

The kit features:

• 2 Gremlin chassis rails
• Minimal footprint center skid
• Sliders designed to keep you floating above obstacles, not in them.
• 1 front body mount
• 1 low rear body mount
• DOES NOT COME WITH HARDWARE you can pick up a hardware kit on here on the site cheaper than the other guys.
• I recommend picking up a pack of tiny nuts for mounting upper links if you do not have them.

Recommended parts for the Gremlin:

-Short front shocks such as Proline Big Bore scalers, Amazon internal spring shocks 32-34mm, or stock oil shocks.

-Medium travel rear shocks such as Injora Big Bore 40mm shocks.

-Pancake style motor such as Mini Komodo if you want a forward facing brushless setup, otherwise your motor may contact the rear of your servo.

-57-62mm tires to clear the sliders, otherwise you may need to trim the front edges.

-metal gladiator and deadbolt drive shaft sets. this will give you all the drive shafts you need to build regardless of motor orientation on trans.

– +5/6mm wider axles at a minimum such as TiTs or Meus Iso.

Notes:

1. This is an advanced chassis kit that requires a solid understanding of the general principles of SCX24 geometry to build.
2. If using a forward facing brushless motor, you must use a pancake style motor like the Furitek Mini Komodo or MofoRC Medio to clear the back of the servo.
3. If running a brushless motor rear facing with a flipped scx24 transmission, the output shaft of the transmission the front drive shaft connects to will be further away. You will need to use a deadbolt female and c10 male driveshaft end. The c10 male end will need to be trimmed a few millimeters to fit properly. This is normal when flipping a standard design transmission backwards, but of significant note.
4. It is strongly recommended that this chassis be paired with the Gremlin V2 Hybrid outboard links, but the chassis is compatible with Gladiator and Deadiator link geometries as well. If you use other link geometries, it will be up to you to bend your rear upper links if you choose to run them outboard.
5. All printed materials will be made of PETG-CF, which is a sturdy material, but please note printed parts are not covered unless deemed the fault of the product. I hold no liability for Parts broken by brute force or improper assembly.
6. Please take your time and pre tap all holes before beginning to install parts.
