Looks good. I think I like the tan much better than the orange.

I kind of like the orange but the tan looks great

It's going to look pretty drab next to yours.

Thanks That being said, I might have to pic up another body and paint it orange, it's just not the same to me.

Well, I finally got a couple things done I've been meaning to finish forever. The quick and easy one was the rear Axial axle truss.



I mounted the steering servo on the chassis a while ago but was not at all happy with it. With the 4 link it moved around way to much and wasn't very precise. I loved the way the Hands Bros steering kit worked on my SCX-10 so I figured that was the best way to go. I got lucky and Big Bear had just the axle mount part of the kit so I got that from him and mounted it to the axle. Then I just drilled and tapped the chassis rail and mounted the panhard bar. I love it now. Steering is super precise and strong again and there is no axle movement while steering. I'm happy again and it's ready for the UTRCRC Scale Adventure Finals

After Kaetwo and PinchFlat switched their Toyotas to Rok Lox I figured I'd better play along.

I put back on the RC4WD Steel Wheels. They have the exact identical offset to stock Axial SCX-10 1.9 Wheels, 9 1/8" with these tires.







The spare I just got today. It's way too clean right now, I need to throw it in the dirt or something

Oh, and BTW Badd, I think we need someone to change the title to Tube Bed or Flat Bed. This is definitely not a Truggy

And after looking though some of the pictures on this thread the Flat Irons looks like little girl tires on this compared to the Rok Lox

I think I am one of the few "I like the tan better" people as well

those tires do look much more fitting.

To think of how many people cried when we asked for a 1.9 that big...

I think I wasn't liking the tan because of the wheel/tire/color combo. For some reason with the new wheels and tires I like it quite a bit more. I know that doesn't make sense but it's staying tan for now.
