Well this is my first scaler starting with a SCX-10 after puting the the kit to gether i streched the wheel base to 12.250 and made a rear axle truss to four link the rear then added the RC4WD outcroppers now that the suspension is where i want it i am going to cut the frame at the rear upper link mounts and tube the back half build some sliders and bumbers. More to come i will post more pics as the buid goes on.

Nice so far

bigron · 12-21-2009, 12:24 PM

Well it is finaly looking like a truggy, i cut the frame and made the side peices that the frame is welded to i left it one peice so that it wood hold the correct out side dimesions so i could take out the skid and not burn it up. I am going to build every thing off of it sliders rear window hoop ect. i moved the rear shock hoops forward so i could use them for body mounts. here are some pics.

I hate to copy your axle truss but when you see something you like you either buy it or build it 75% of the time i will build it.

thought about using some 20 ga sheet metal tiged on the lower part and clear lexan for the window.

Looks great. Not only did you use the body that I originally wanted, but you even used the color that I ended up using on my rig. Nice metal work. That's where I'm at and nervous about it. Patients isn't always one of my virtues.

I used .032 aluminum and bolted it to the cab, to fill mine in.

You could also tig some nuts to the tube and screw it on.
