Default sloppy's scx10 geo tracker

so I had a proline tracker body but nothing to stick under it I didnt really like the losi after some more wheel time and I need something dependable for OSAS... so how bout a SCX10 :banana:
Specs:
SCX10
ESC: pro boat
servo: tower pro
castle BEC
body: proline descender
radio: spektrum dx3
winch: 3r
wheels: bartos

flex shot


and naked pic..



the 12turn has to go no low end at all even on 2s.. still need to make a mount for a winch and add some better cross brace's the plastic ones kinda suck allready broke one driving.. so I cant imagine the will take much tow strap action..

also gonna change out wheels and tires.. the M2 just is not anywhere near as good as the G8..

The body is a great match for the SCX-10. The frame needs shortened in the rear but otherwise perfect. Great approach and departure angles for sure!

Here are a few shots of mine

That was the plan but I think I am going to switch mine over to my new JK project. I think this body is the perfect comp scale body though.

Cool looking rig, I like the look of the Tracker body.
I'd say nice work but all you did was put a lexan body on. :-P

trying to keep the weight down on this one. I have other trucks with tube work, and interiors. but odds are it will end up with tube work and a interior.

couple little updates.. got the winch mounted up switched tires and wheels out.


chopped about a 1" off the frame.


and switched out the motor and ballooned everything up.. the 12turn was fun, but the low end was just not there.. 60t on 3s is a much better fit..


made a little mount to lower the electronics down some to
