Default Something Different

Now all I need is a name for it... figured that the Capra has performed pretty damn well for only having it a few weeks, and the SCX10 II is a solid platform so... a Capra-SCX hybrid TRX-4 sport killer.

Already got the links and geometry figured out, and I swear it’s like they designed it for this...

Servo clears extremely well and shocks compress fully front and rear.

Looks like that’s all for tonight

This is temporary, but gets the idea across. I am thinking of using an enduro shorty tray somehow. Maybe even an enduro transmission...

I was wondering how soon we would see something like this! Looks good so far!

Following along! Interested to see how this turns out!

Got us sitting right about where I want it, now just gotta get all of the internals. And I have already changed my mind on my battery location. Anyone have recommendations on saddle setups for 2200 3s batteries?

Way to step out of the box! Was wondering how you are dealing with the portal reduction? Also if you do go with the endure tranny you will be adding even more reduction to the rear.

Yeah gear reduction is my biggest concern. I’m gonna assemble it then run it and see how it is. Thanks for the heads up on the enduro transmission!

Cool project.

I assume the SCX10 III will look similar.

Definitely worth it!

Little bit of an update... a lot has changed since the last one. Got some proline 100-105 mm shocks, Incision driveshafts, a Savox SC-1256TG servo, and I ended up stealing the tires off of my Capra. I did have a HW Quicrun and YeahRacing Hackmoto in it but those made their way into another build... I plan to run the same ESC and Motor, just a 27t as opposed to the 45. I also got a sweet 3D printed battery mount from one of my coworkers for my 2200 3 cells.

Nice! Did you limit the shocks internally at all?
