Custom tube work to include bumpers and roll cage (by Mr. Mann)

Badd · 03-25-2009, 02:03 PM

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"

As for the front 3 link and steering mount from MSD . This was a easy install and very well made part .

Check here for the how to .

I also did the Gas tank mod like SMFtwstdHICK did . His seen here Another (better?) way to mount the battery?

Other plan include removing the top . Not sure if it willbe behind the cab or if it willbe at the front windshield .
Some tube work we are looking at

SMFtwstdHICK · 03-25-2009, 02:16 PM

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.

TLTRyan · 03-25-2009, 02:27 PM

Looks like you are off to a good start.

I cant wait to see the finished product.

There are a lot of kick-ass SCX-10 builds on here. This is going to be no different.

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?

RXcrawler · 03-27-2009, 08:17 AM

Looks great Andy.

Mine is coming along too. I think it's going to be a Defender 90. That body fits the wb perfect.

hoyt · 03-29-2009, 12:18 AM

hey badd great job so far

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 .

Doing this puts the spur more under the dash .

jeepcj578 · 03-31-2009, 07:47 PM

Ok so right now we are making a pontoon boat out of this thing

jeepcj578 · 04-01-2009, 02:18 AM
