I had to shorten the wheelbase by about 1/2" If you look in this pics you will see the rear shocks are not sitting right . I had to move the shock mounts up to the other holes on the frame .

I used some Axial 70mm post for the new lower links . I have some 55mm on the way for the uppers . I also used TCS upper link mount on the rear . I think the wheelbase is right at 10 15/16"
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...Killer5010.jpg
As for the front 3 link and steering mount from MSD . This was a easy install and very well made part . http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...Killer5002.jpg

Looks good Badd.

I still need to screw my gas tank down in the back like you did. One of those little steps I forgot. "thumbsup"

TLTRyan 03-25-2009 02:27 PM

There are a lot of kick-ass SCX-10 builds on here. This is going to be no different."thumbsup" I like the "gas tank" idea. I was going to build one out of styrene but maybe i'll pick up one of those instead.

helhedded 03-26-2009 09:10 AM

I'm watching. You said 2 g8 flatirons for the front. Can you really tell much of a difference in the compounds? I assume the regular compound will go on the back.

jeepcj578 03-26-2009 09:51 AM

Is it done yet?

I did strip them . I'm not sure I will keep the wheelbase as it is now . I have been looking at moving the Skid plate foward . I have also flipped the trans/ skid around .
