New for 2022: Geko24 Version 5 Updates:

All-alloy construction, high-precision engineering and well thought-out design features are the Geko-24’s trademark. It is the perfect base for those wishing to bring their favorite 1/24 plastic kit or die-cast model to life. The previous version 4 chassis ironed out most of the design quirks of the early iterations and was a solid platform. As with version 4, welded axle pinions and single piece drive hubs ensure you can rely on the fully ball-raced drivetrain in tough terrain. Now the latest version 5 offers further refinements:

• The v5 chassis is slightly narrower than previous versions. This means top-links, crossmembers gearbox and skid are not cross-compatible.
• The trademark low-profile transfer box still has counter-rotating outputs for reduced torque roll. However, the old dogbone-and-cup setup has gone. The transfer box uses 2mm output shafts and the center driveshafts are now telescopic with a CVDs at both ends.
• Revised black anodized axle casings have offset diff pumpkins for better clearance, topped off with red anodized diff covers.
• v5 re-introduces an axle mounted servo for greater steering precision. A 3D-printed chassis mount to suit the Emax ES9051 servo is available on request.

Chassis Options

The chassis is available in three wheelbase options, using different length chassis legs to suit a wide range of bodies. Choose from 70mm/70mm, 70mm/78mm or 78mm/78mm to suit wheelbases from 100mm to 132mm. If this doesn’t suit your model, we still have stock of discontinued v2 chassis legs (available separately on request) in a wider range of lengths. Simply combine different length chassis legs to get a wheelbase anywhere between 93mm – 135mm. Please note you will need to drill and tap additional holes in v2 legs to suit the revised upper link placement.

Bring your own body!

The super low-profile transmission is designed to fit under the floorpan of almost any plastic kit body with minimal cutting required. Die-cast bodies can also be used, although the additional weight will severely limit off-road capability. There are hundreds of 1/24 and 1/25 plastic kits on the market, and many more discontinued models that can still be found second-hand. The Geko also gives you the option of going for a rarer 1/20 model, so you have an almost limitless choice of vehicle to build!

Don’t have an interior tub or floorpan for your body? No problem, just pick up one of the Geko24 floor pans, designed to bolt right up to your chassis.

Wheels and Tires

If all this flexibility isn’t enough, how about four different wheel designs, with two different diameters and three different tire sizes to choose from? Whether you want a modern production 4×4, all-out no holds barred off-roader or an old-school beater, the Geko GK-24 v5 Chassis Set has you covered. 18mm wheels are best suited for 1/24 or 1/25 scale bodies not only are there three different designs and either 33mm or 36mm tires. Have a treasured 1/20 body you want to use? The 21mm wheels and 39mm tires will be a perfect fit.

Motive Power

Now, are you wanting to creep across your rockery, or go scale trail running in the woods? Just choose a motor RPM to suit. The N20 gearmotor is a tried and tested, widely available unit, with different ratio gear heads to suit your needs. The Geko version ups the ante with a high-torque version available in 120RPM or 250RPM to suit your driving style. The LWB chassis will even accept the longer can N30 motor for even more power! Just be sure to choose the long shaft version, suitable for the Geko24 transfer box.
