Tassie, Australia - SCX10 Build

[jaykay]

Hi, Everyone.

I've been browsing the forum of a while now looking for idea's for a Crawler.
an eBay buy came up at the right price so I took a gamble and bought it.

I received 2 body's with it, a Dingo and a Pro-Line Jeep Cherokee.

First I just took it out as it was sent to me.









After driving it for a couple weeks I decided to swap the bodies over to see how it looked.





Then I started to muck about adding some features



I made this soft top using the covering from an iPad case.




Next the bug started and I started to buy toys off the internet

Rear Bar


Lights








Also with my eBay Purchase was some larger tyres and I had a play with these also.








I started reading more about scale rigs and decided to change direction again and go back to the jeep body.

roof cage


Made some bungee cords and a tool box






Also got some tools


Also playing with this idea ( from a axial light bucket kit )


and my rig as it stands now





I have some more goodies coming in the post this week!!

Any opinions or suggestions for my rig would be appreciated

Got these in the mail





will mount it all up this week

Hey mate, I found them on eBay.
Lights are from a wrangler kit.

ok thanks, i had seen them on a few builds. One thing you can do to "improve" your cherokee is if you dont plan on running the dingo body any more, you can cut it up a little and run it under the cherokee body for an easy interior.

Still going to use my Dingo body, I'm looking at getting the Pro-Line interior set.
First I'm going to get new shocks / springs.

Also Started Installing my headlights - glued them into the body but I think I should make the holes bigger and mount them flush into the grill.

That rig has serious flex for a reg scx10. The scale roof rack and new grill look sweet. Keep up the good work! I am subscribing to this one!

Thanks for everyone's comments,

I took my rig apart the other night and measured the front shocks they are nearly 110mm end to end. I'm looking at buying a new set of 4 and changing the size slightly.

Also got my lights and grill installed





Also chucked my spare tyre on the roof until I make a rear tyre mount.



Night time



Today I installed an alloy steering link, my rig drives so much better now.
Before the stock plastic one would bow when the scx was on a lean stopping me from turning.

Got these bad boys in the mail.
Hoping they won't be too big :(

you may regret those claws. The TSL's are great scale tires that are good for crawling and bashing around. Other than that, she looks great. I love the grille and headlight mods.

[jaykay]

Thanks man, yeah I'm undecided on the new tyres ( haven't fitted them yet)

Also Some new toys come today ( still waiting on my rod ends )

Stock shocks ( bump stops removed )



Pro line light bar



Scale items
