Default SCX10 Ford F350 Crew cab build

Hi everyone been working on my new build, I'm taking a stock RTR Honcho and adding my Tamiya F350 all custom built extended Crew Cab. I'll have more pics soon. Parts I have on order are K & S aluminum tubing (stock# 3031), some 8-32
all thread and some Traxxas Rod ends part# 5347 and some extra Axial Drive Shafts. I need to lengthen my wheelbase by about 2 1/2" to fit the body as seen in these pics.

Body looks good! I'd drop it and yes extend the chassis rails after the bend at the back. The rear bumper looks good! Did you make that? If you haven't seen my big Ford, check my signature. Pm with any questions.

Thanks yes I plan on dropping it extending the chassis and making my own custom links. What shafts do you use BTW I like the chrome look and I'll defently need an extended rear drive shaft for my rig when I get too the modding of it all. I wish I could take credit for the tube work but no, a local gentelman has a huge part of it. I met him throught my place of work. He does really good work.

I used rc4wd punisher shafts. Just make sure you measure correctly and get the right output shaft diameter...5mm for axial. Also, I do believe that you should grind some material off the end of the shafts to have it sit better on the axial ouputs...even read that on a rc4wd post for mating axial and punisher shafts. Word of caution, measure the shafts needed carefully, I emailed them and had a problem, the length they mentioned was not correct. Example, if the shaft had a working length from 6.25 to 7.25, it only left about 1/2 inch of inner shaft inside the outer shaft...not good. I emailed them and they sent me out a new length, but don't know if they fixed it on the website. I would measure, remeasure and verify with them to make sure what you ask for will work.

Would help me a lot!
