Well I thought it was time to build up a scaler. Since I had some AX10 extras laying around I decided that I would build up a X-trail. Seemed like a good chassis and I have read some great threads on its performance. So onto some details of the work in progress rig.

Axial Transmission, Stock spur gear and skid plate
Axial Axles and lower links
TCS X-trail Chassis
Integy 35T motor
Currently Moped ESC. Sidewinder coming!
Hitec 645 steering servo and 645 winch. (Not yet installed)
Spektrum radio
Tires are narrowed Geolanders
TLT Shocks
RPM narrowed revolvers
Beat up F100 Body.

Things I will be doing over the next couple weeks.

Custom Aluminum bumpers front and rear.
Installing the winch
Mounting the steering servo on the chassis
Water proofing the electronics
Possible drop bed! Future mod
Interior! Future mod

Here are a few trail shots! Tell me what ya think!!!

looks good. I like the body the dent and rust is a nice touch

Nice!
I'm digging that body. Nice job on the weathering and dents.
It's awesome to see another scaler in CO.

That is a cool truck! Fantastic work. If you ever sell that, I want first dibs on it!

Man, that is a hell of a paint job! Looks really great!

Any chance of a pic with the hood off?
