Only need the SCX10, which I already got a confirmation # for it, so early next week it should be here.

What are your plans to stretch the WB?

4 Link for sure I assume and new lower links as well?

[AeroSynch]

What are your plans to stretch the WB?

4 Link for sure I assume and new lower links as well?

Yes, using the standard 4 link, I will get some M3 screws, and cut the screw heads, and use the rod in all 4 corners (16 screws I believe) to extend the wheelbase. This worked out well last time I did it, and was plenty strong.
If not, then new lower links for sure. "thumbsup"

[Colby]

So how long you gonna keep this one Aero? lol looks like it will be a fun project if you are gonna get the SCX10 "thumbsup"

Thank you. This one seems like I will keep for some time, because I have everything I wanted in the first place. An awesome scale truck (SCX10), brushless, and to top it off, a DX6. :-P

[AeroSynch]

Oh yea..

Can this be moved to the SCX10 section?

[AeroSynch]

Sorry for the quick and not so good video. Also, you can tell I have never used a stick radio. It is hard for me, especially with a truck so fast. Check out the jump at the end. It seriously took no effort. I love this brushless though, it gives you precision control at low speeds, and awesome high speed.

[AeroSynch]

No action pictures, but I took the SCX10 to the sand box, and it was a blast. I really need to thread lock the drive shafts...kept coming off at the hint of hard gas. :lol:

It throws sand like it has freaking paddles when it is in 2WD. I ran it like that for a bit.

Today's lesson guys: Brushless Rocks!

[MR. MAX]

can you post a pic of the jk body over the chassis, i want to she how far off it is

[AeroSynch]

I'll do it later today, but it is like ~1.5" off. Looks funny. "thumbsup"

[Joe Mauma]

Looking good!

I'd also like to see a picture with the body sitting on top to get an idea of how much link lengthening and interior trimming is necessary.

[saydee1800]

that body is just way to big

[xxkalladorxx]

wow, never realized how large that body is. will look good once you extend the frame a bit.cant wait for more..Peace James

[AeroSynch]

Thanks guys. I only need to extend the wheelbase and that's it.

[4xfloored]

how much do you think you will need to extend it.. I was thinking about the same body but different paint

[AeroSynch]

I guess ~1.5"? So that is 3/4" on each side.

[MiddleT]

I have the same body. I want to see what it looks like first with just the links lengthened.

I wonder if the frame will look too short?

I'll let somebody else experiment for me! ;)

Well, I can tell you that I need to cut away at the interior, but the chassis fits nicely. "thumbsup"

[smm_cbf]

i have a feeling you might keep this one longer than 2 weeks

[AeroSynch]

i like your cheap way of having dual spring shocks:lol:
i have a feeling you might keep this one longer than 2 weeks

They came with the kit, and are really smooth.

Oh yea, definitely more than 2 weeks. The brushless and SCX10 combined = My Dream. :lol:

I wonder,,,adding 10mm length to all the links,,,I want that body for mine !

[AeroSynch]

I wonder,,,adding 10mm length to all the links,,,I want that body for mine !

I think I will extend the rear only seeing as the front can't be extended more since the servo will hit a cross member. So I need new rear links and extending the driveshaft.

[axman2010]

Hey what are the lengths on the lower links on these?

[crunky]

wow pinch me, aerosynch where is the rest of your posse to flood this thread with a million chit chats ?????

"thumbsup"

[AeroSynch]

Hey what are the lengths on the lower links on these?

Well, the link tube itself says 91mm, so I would say around 131mm end to end with the rods?

wow pinch me, aerosynch where is the rest of your posse to flood this thread with a million chit chats ?????

"thumbsup"

They are in time out. :lol:
Back at Scale really, but under control.

[93'wrangler]

haha there go your gears.... lol i think you should be saving up for the most heavy duty gears, lockers, pinons.... ect....nice build
and thought i would share these with you to extend the wheel base.

good luck

[AeroSynch]

Thank you VERY much 93'wrangler for the links! ;-)

[TheHeadHunter]

cut the back doors off , make that body two door IMO , if you extend the wheelbase the wheels will look too small to the scale ...go to the scale section and check some body cutting down stuff"thumbsup"

[MiddleT]

2.2 wheels an tires may be what I will go with on mine. 1.9's will make it look too much like a stock jeep with 31's on it, IMO.

I hate dinky tires and wheels on jeeps!

[AeroSynch]

I stretched the wheelbase today, and it was quite the challenge, but it now is 13" to fit the JK body. Body will sit way lower.

$240 plus shipping.

[flmudder]

cool"thumbsup" ffrom where

[smm_cbf]

just wanted to know i do aluminum stock and drill and tap it to 4mm or 8/32nd

knowing me i would tap them off center. i just do it the easy way,but yours are stronger

[AeroSynch]

The ones that I used are 8/32 guys...:D

[flmudder]

knowing me i would tap them off center. i just do it the easy way,but yours are stronger

i made a brass locator for it

[smm_cbf]

ill have to try that..i have a drill press so i guess i never tought about it.

sorry bout your thread aero:lol:

Sweet man! What did you do finally?

[93'wrangler]

Thank you VERY much 93'wrangler for the links! ;-)
sure no problem your just gunna have to make custom drive shafts i think your gunna have to make them with stampede shafts 2 females and one male with the yoke end cut off... that might help give it a shot! please tell me your going to center the chassis though? and you could probably use the stock links you have now to be your 3 or 4 link. they also have diffrent colors on that site for the links. good luck!

[Joe Mauma]

Sweet man! What did you do finally?

I'd recommend lengthening both front and rear links.

1. You can still use the stock driveshafts
2. Keeps frame centered with body and keeps shock hoops/shocks more centered in wheel wells.

[rollinlow]

No video, it was all rocks, and it kicked ass...AFTER I moved the battery to the front. I love this truck. I ran it without the body after some time since I mounted it crapily. Pictures uploading.

Thanks man. Sadly, no, but it was a temporary mount for the GTG, and it was ugly. :lol:

[Thorvald]

I'd recommend lengthening both front and rear links.

1. You can still use the stock driveshafts
2. Keeps frame centered with body and keeps shock hoops/shocks more centered in wheel wells.

I'm going to be in the same boat soon, my JK arrives tomorrow hopefully, I had thought it would fit right under but oh well.

Now how can we adjust the front and keep the shock hoops centered? They are fixed in position and don't have any other mounting holes. Guess we can drill some extra if required.

Have you already done this before we re-invent the wheel?

Thanks
Tim

Here are the mounted snorkel pictures. After I paint I will put the trim around the front of the snorkel correctly.

[Thorvald]

Hmm, did some quick math...

Existing SCX10 Wheelbase is 290mm

NewBright JK Body is approx 13" or 330.2mm, say 330mm.

Difference of 40mm we need to make up (2 cm front, 2 cm back).

---

Existing pipes on SCX10 are 6x91mm, we need 6x111mm to be spot on (assuming 13" is the exact correct wheelbase for the JK).

Axial makes a nice set of grey 6x106mm pipes (PN AX30516). This would give us 15mm extra per link or 30mm total, just 10mm short on a side...arghh.

---

For the posts, the SCX10's are 7x60mm, we need 7x80mm.

Of course, Axial only makes a 7x70mm post (PN AXA1431), this leaves us 20mm short on a side. Another option is to screw two 7x40mm posts together (PN AXA1425) to get the 80mm length and still have it look semi stock.

---

May still have to break down and make my own links but I do like the nice clean look of these stock Axial links.

My JK should arrive tomorrow so I'll try to obtain an exact wheelbase in mm to see how much we are off.

Cheers
Tim

Yesterday I got a sweet light rack for my Jeep just like I wanted it from 7point2. Thank you so much Christian! I just need to find some lights for it that will look good. It is not mounted yet. I will make holes and mount it later. The 3 holes on the body are for the snorkel.

Nice. I see how you mounted the rear of the body, but what did you do for the front? Right now I'm trying to figure out how to keep the interior without hacking it up too much.

[Joe Mauma]

It's coming along great!

Thanks Joe. I actually like the way they look. So, is there any way that I can still get hooked up with some links? Mine are bothering me since only the rear was stretched and the chassis isn't centered. :lol:

[Joe Mauma]

PM'd you!

Here is how mine is coming along....

Thank you. The brushless is awesome. Super great speed, and low speed also, with no cogging. :nice:

Was never a Jeep fan. (Rovers Rule) But all these new builds with the 4 door Jeeps are bad @$$. Great looking rig.

[AeroSynch]

Thanks man, I also love Rovers, but I could never find one to look good with some decent axles. I had 3 LR3's before this, and just wasn't happy. Now I am. :D

Thanks Chris. I haven't put the rings yet since I have to paint them, so the tires are flat. I like my JK#2 too much right now to sell; finish #1 first! :lol:

[MrGrimxX]

What battery did you go with, for this brushless system? whats your runtime with it?

[AeroSynch]

I have a 6 cell 4200mah battery, and when crawling I once got almost 4 hours. With speed less I guess.

[T600]

how does it crawl with that fast havoc in it

[AeroSynch]

Awesome. I love my brushless. Torquey, and speedy. :)

Fun day at the sandbox. Some cool photos.

Got some awesome new delrin links from Joa Mauma today. They sure are beefy. :) Now I need to find a way to put the electronics in and not cut so much interior out.

I finally got the ride height I wanted as it was too high before. Also cut up the interior to fit the body nice and low onto the chassis. It is rough, but it's not like I can't hide the rough cuts with Ken and Barbie. :lol:

The JK bodies are newbright rc cars from last christmas. Check ebay and For Sale section. But, if you can be patient, wait till this christmas and pick one up yourself. I've a lot of guys got them for $20-25 on clearance. The bodies alone are selling for almost $100.
