Been working on this, it's a half cage at this stage. Need to sex it up a bit, checker plate maybe?

I'm not sure there is a single axial part on this scx 10...

I guess you can call it whatever you want in the 1.9 section

I like it, what is your wheelbase? Looks like you stretched it out a bit

Stray · 02-10-2019, 05:24 PM

Im pretty sure its still 313mm, ill have to measure it!

Joshs4x4toyz · 02-10-2019, 06:28 PM

Agreed, it does look stretched. But looks killer whatever the wheelbase is

Nice

Stray · 02-10-2019, 06:41 PM

i did make up the links for this from random tubes I had lying around, it could well be stretched.... could also be my crap camera on my phone...

Stray · 02-11-2019, 03:08 PM

It's just under 320mm

That cage looks amazing!

Stray · 02-12-2019, 02:22 PM

I was trying to do something a little different, give internal strength with the appearance of just a half cage... should hopefully get everything painted this weekend!

Stray · 02-12-2019, 02:58 PM

I think smog meant the cab back, if you were going to leave it wide open or had a plan to close it in.

Stray · 02-12-2019, 03:30 PM

Oh, yeah I have the back, and the grill parts to add later

hot diggity. will stay tuned

Stray · 02-17-2019, 03:35 PM

well, its Monday morning, I'm sitting at my desk at work, and I didn't do anything on the truck over the weekend. bummer.
However, I have had some inspiration. I have an scx10ii sitting on a shelf with some mods, I think it deserves this cage, so HOPEFULLY I can see how the scx10 ii gear fits up tonight, Pics to follow!

Stray · 02-24-2019, 02:11 PM

Did some work over the weekend. Painted the cage, and added some scx10 ii axles. Had fun trying to get the drag link and panhard geometry right, but worked it out in the end...

Added a back to the cab, will probably have to cut most of it out, but figured I'd fill it up to start with.

Truck is truly amazing. Maybe a little stiff in the rear, but will wait for all the final gear to be added before I play with the springs.
