I cant believe I have to try to write this all over. Went to my photo bucket and some how I hit something and deleted the hole tread now I'm doing it over. So lets try this again. scx10 frame axial axles with beef tubes and steel gears vanquish transmission with steel gears castle side winder 3 35 turn motor savor 1230 steering servo I took a scx10 frame cut it towards the rear boxed it in. Took some of the scx10 frame made some ears so I could put aluminum axial knuckles for the pivot point. I had to use 8 bearing to make this work the reason I had to use so many because it kept coming apart. I had to put bearings inside of bearing so it would stay together took me a minute to figure this one out. Took axial shocks cut them down and I had a set of hpi shocks laying around I took the rod out from the inside of them and put them in the scx10 shocks cut the stock scx10 springs down to fit. Worked great and I was still able to put oil back in them. Everything worked out great buuuuuuuut I have to much torque twist so now I have to figure out a way to make some resistance in between them. So ill have to use a small shock or something. Has about a 13 1/4'' wheel base. Its a single seat front and back what a ride the passenger is going to have Took a long time to bend and weld this all up.Has 1.9 wheels and tire but I think I'm might change them. I don't like the paint thought it was flat green its not I'm probably going to change the color. I think I covered everything. |

Build looks good. I have a couple of his buddies driving my rigs. Can't go wrong for $4 bucks.

I seen the video a few days ago and your rig really caught my eye. I've always liked odd and different builds and yours is one of the more unique ones well done. I've made a few odd ones myself but stopped posting them, just got sick of all the negative comments from people that find it hard to think outside the box. Once again , well done |
