Badger's Axial SCX-10 build w/ Proline CGR body & Accessories

[badger]

Big thanks to Axial for making another stellar product! The SCX-10 went together extremely fast and just like the AX-10 it was a breeze to put together. And thanks to Chino63 for helping me out with the build. 8)

Pulled everything out of the box and got ready to build.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/002.jpg


Grabbed my Axial tool kit and the manual and got started.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/004.jpg


I always start my builds by putting the tires and rims together. I just love offroad tires 8). The tires were very easy to mount to the stock beadlocks.

When I working with the second bead and mounting the second beadlock ring, I place the rim/tire on another bare wheel so I can firmly push the tire bead into the wheel then place the beadlock ring down on the tire and start adding the beadlock screws.

On to the axles, nothing new here, same quality axles from the AX-10, only these come with the nice metal lockers. Full bearings included.

The drive shafts come with metal yokes standard.

The Transmission is also the same quality tranny from the AX-10, with full bearings as well.

I mounted a 35T Lathe motor with the stock pinion. Used some paper to set the gear mesh just right.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/019.jpg


The kit comes with steel frame rails that taper out in the middle to increase articulation and add to the superb out of the box performance of this rig.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/020.jpg


Here are the axles with the links and shocks mounted.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/021.jpg

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/022.jpg


The shock towers have three different mounting positions and incorporate a trick body post system.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/023.jpg


The contoured skid plate is another one of the SCX-10's great additions.

For electronics I installed a Mamba Max with a 35T Lathe motor and a spectrum receiver. The final install with have a Novak Goat Crawler system, but I wanted to show this config as well.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/034.jpg

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/035.jpg

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/036.jpg

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/037.jpg


I did not want to mount the battery in the stock location on the back of the frame and thought the optional mounting position on the front of the frame was to high with the spacers the manual suggested to install.

So I cut approx. 10mm off of the battery tray spacers to lower it down so the tray sits on top of the battery box and I did not use the spacer for the front mount. This makes the steering servo bottom out on the battery tray when you cycle the entire front suspension straight down. I'm not worried about that because I don't plan on jumping this rig all that much and even with the battery tray lowered 10mm's in the back and even more in the front, the suspension can articulate completely on either side and the servo never hits the battery tray. This should help lower the COG a little.

Here is the two rear spacers not cut down.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/038.jpg


You can see in this pic the spacer on the left is cut down on the spacer on the right is stock.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/031.jpg


And here is both rear spacers cut down.

And finally the complete build with the stock body panted a gun metal gray.

My next addition will be the Novak Goat Crawler system and a Proline CGR with cage.

I can't wait to get this rig out on the trail ASAP!

[Rockcrawler]

Very nice build John. "thumbsup"

Are you going to run a stick pack or a nice Lipo?

[Brandon]

Looks great Badger! I am having a hard time keeping myself from pointing out your build mistakes... :ror:

[jason]

Damn sweet pics!

[DarkSoul]

Great build Badger, I really enjoyed the build up of mine, these are great kits to assemble.

The only real shortcoming on yours is the use of an Integy product, really drags down a otherwise great kit. :shock:

[Stormin2u]

Very nice build thread the photos are exceptional and have a professional quality.

The SCX-10 is a well engineered kit Axial did their homework on this one for sure. "thumbsup"

[badger]

The only real shortcoming on yours is the use of an Integy product, really drags down a otherwise great kit. :shock:

In the crawler world Integy lathe motors have been a staple since the beginning. That changed when Dr. Holmes brought us great hand wound motors and got us hooked on brushless power for our crawlers.

Depending on how the Novak goat system performs and how much run time I get with it will determine if I put this mamba/lathe setup back in. With the current setup running a standard stick pack I know I can ballon the mamba max to make it waterproof and spend all day out at the Bean with a couple packs in my back pocket.

[Wrecker]

Looks good John, the pics are awesome!!

[badger]

Looks good John, the pics are awesome!!

Thanks. I'm no photographer, but I wanted to take some of the shots with a greater depth of field so not just one corner of the chassis or rig is in focus. I really like how some of them turned out. I love looking at the killer tread of the Flat Irons in both the front and rear of the rig. "thumbsup"

[2JSC]

Thanks. I'm no photographer,...

Could have fooled me. :ror:

I want one of these soo bad. :-(

[dpdsurf]

Damn sweet pics!

No kidding! Axial should hire you for their ad photos (and Dean to build for them:lol:). Lookin like we'll have quite a few of these in Folsom. I started mine last night. :)

[badger]

I ordered my Novak Goat Crawler system from TCSCrawlers (http://www.tcscrawlers.com) and as always it came in extremely fast. Where not supposed to talk prices in a tech thread but I have to ask if anyone knows if Kevin is going crazy or not? His prices are ridiculously low, I paid $169.99 for the Novak Goat Crawler System (http://www.tcscrawlers.com/On-Sale-30-off-Novak-Goat-Crawler-System-3019-p-16479.html). :shock: I couldn't find anyone that sells them for that cheap, let alone a RCC vendor. Thanks for doing what you do Kevin!

OK, on to the Goat system, the installation was a breeze but as you can see from the pics, the stock location of the ESC with the Goat Crawler motor installed has little wiggle room. Fortunately with this setup, it barely gets warm at all after an hour of solid crawling so I am not worried about the ESC or motor overheating each other.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/051.jpg

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/052.jpg

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/axial_scx10/053.jpg


With this setup, the rig could climb an eight foot, 45 degree incline at Hobby Town Concord's indoor course. It blew me away on how capable this rig is out of the box. The stock Proline 1.9 Flat Iron's provide just enough traction and great looks to make this a true scale crawler.

Here's the 45 degree incline.

The climb is all the way on the left of this picture.

Nice build, love the gun metal gray. did you do anything with the foams, like star cut or just left them as is?

[jason]

For real fun plug a 3s lipo into that goat;)

Mine did too for months. Then I made the mistake of adding a dig servo the other day because of the crazy notion to have a rear 2WD option on my SCX10,no smoke but one loud crack noise. Bye bye Goat, it was nice knowing you. :oops:

[STANG KILLA SS]

nice photobox and pics.

but truck needs more rainbow.

[bigdodge88]

Nice pics Badger, the body turned out pretty cool too."thumbsup"

Good idea on lower the battery tray. And the pic's look superb.

[rambo282]

Great pics and build. Is the rock course in HobbyTown free or pay to play? Will be moving into the Fairfield (Cordia Hills) area in a couple of months and that looks like a pretty good place to kill a couple of hours while the wife shops in downtown Walnut Creek.

I've quit the rainbow.

Thanks. I got my new Proline CGR body in today so I am going to start painting that tonight.

This battery location is about as best you can get on the chassis IMO. This thing climbs so well.

The HobbyTown indoor rock course is free as far as I know. I don't know if it will always be that way.

Any update badger? This is looking mighty fine. :-P

Shut your pie hole and get to painting! :lmao:

[badger]

Shut your pie hole and get to painting! :lmao:

:lmao: That was great.

But I can't decide on what paint scheme to go with, I had a old 1:1 Scout and it was silver so I've been thinking about going with the simple silver (body) and black (interior) theme but I was thinking about doing a flat tan for the body and flat black on the interior.

Everyone needs to open their pie holes and help a fragile, timid old man decide while I mask the interior off.

[Hurley0706]

Pink and Yellow bitch.

Now quit screwing with my buzz.

[62PYRO]

Paint the mother pink.:flipoff::lol:

This is a bad ass paint job, unfortunately I'm not talented enough to paint that myself.

I think I'll go with tan and black.

STFU - PICS NOW! :shock: :lmao:

Check his profile. :ror:

Just got done with the second coat of silver lexan paint on the outside of the body. Let's hope these lexan body painting tips from Chino63 helps. His flat olive drab paint job on his Slash is holding up great to a lot of abuse.

[2JSC]

Check his profile. :ror:

:shock: :shock:

Did you go with the silver and black? :?:

[crunky]

aaaw man whats the deal....
no live build ?

[badger]

:shock: :shock:

Did you go with the silver and black? :?:
No the flat paint is not lexan paint it's camouflage paint for plastics, so Chino63 suggested that I put a base coat of silver lexan paint to adhere to the body, then paint the flat plastic paint which is supposed to adhere to the base coat of paint. I believe him because he has beat is Slash body up racing with me several times and the paint is holding up great on it.

aaaw man whats the deal....
no live build ?
No unfortunately I don't have my own shop and I am going from garage, to living room (pictures) and then to my office to do all the work, would be a pain in the ass to lug a cam everywhere.

[Hurley0706]

So I post pics all night and you can't post one pic of the new body.....WTF?

And because these are such incredible pics showing off my master craftsmanship, here you go.

[mann0mann]

Nice!

Thanks again for coming up last sunday to check out the course.

Your SCX-10 drove great, the Novak system was a good pairing for this. Nice and smoooooth.

[badger]

I got some more work done on my Proline CGR body today. I remembered how much I hate masking bodies. :mrgreen:

I masked off the two diamond plate boxes behind the seats, the center shift console and the VDO gages on the dash as well as the entire body area that will be painted flat tan later.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/Proline_CGR/003.jpg

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/Proline_CGR/004.jpg



After 2 coats of flat black.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/Proline_CGR/007.jpg



I let the flat black dry for about an hour and then masked off the interior so I can paint the body panels flat tan.

http://www.rccrawler.com/articles/Proline_CGR/008.jpg


I'm going outside now to add the last coat of flat tan to the body.

[rm25x]

Thats going to look nice!

is it done yet?

[braceysdad]

sweet...

run it without the cage, looks like a 57 chevy like that

[badger]

is it done yet?
Yep, the tan came out darker then I thought. I think I should have used a white base coat.

It has a nice shit shade to it. :roll:

[NeXt559]

quick questions:

what type of paint are you using to paint the outside of the body?

would using a matte clear coat for a lil protection be advised?

I like it but then again I've been eating so much oatmeal lately I shitted a pile of dust this morning...

[jason]

I think it looks kick ass.

Maybe add some white military style marking to it.

[Hurley0706]

Doesn't look too dark to me. I say roll with it.

Looks good.

[dpdsurf]

No unfortunately I don't have my own shop and I am going from garage, to living room (pictures) and then to my office to do all the work, would be a pain in the ass to lug a cam everywhere.

Come on, it's called a helmet cam. :)

[badger]

quick questions:

It's Krylon Camouflage Ultra-Flat paint. I don't think it will need a clear coat, besides I like the ultra flat look.

I think it looks kick ass.

Maybe add some white military style marking to it.
Military style markings with Axial stickers is the best I could do.

Doesn't look too dark to me. I say roll with it.

Looks good.
Thanks. It will be rolled.

Come on, it's called a helmet cam. :)
There's no way in hell I'm sticking a camera down my pants.

On to the pics, after I added stickers and polished this turd, I like it.

Yeah I really liked the Silver and black also, but with the finishing touches on the tan I'm glad I went with it.

You can't use tan, I own that color just like Brandon owns the gay white color. :lmao:

Paint looks good Senior!!
Thanks sonny.

Yep they came with my body. I wonder if I got a later version of the body then you? I would call Proline and see if they would send you a sticker sheet.

[Brandon]

Hmm... I didn't get those either. Pro-Line must have felt sorry for you knowing you wouldn't be able to make your own.

[ColquittCustom405]

Nice build John, pictures really look good.

Glad to see one of these bodies finally. I want one now.

In all honesty Brandon i would publicly like to thank you for bieng a great rep for this forum comunity and for wasting all your cell minutes on my dumb a$$ rc questions.



You can't use tan, I own that color just like Brandon owns the gay white color. :lmao:

See but mine is going to be tan it isnt going to be that cake hole tan you own:D

[saydee1800]

OK Badger
I guess I was going on a limb when I told you to shut your cake hole on Brandon's rig. But if you where to throw some candle on top it sure would look like a cake to me.

No really look great I like that you cut the wheels out more. I think it will give better ground clearance.

Hey lightweight! I had a limited time to decide on a color scheme because of the rain coming the next evening so I had to get the body painted asap and couldn't decide of a color. :oops:

Do you even remember anything from that night? :ror:

Wait till the roof rack shots are up, I think it really sets this body and cage off. Oh yeah, I'll be mounting a 3 racing winch on the front western bumper. 8-)

[Brandon]

I like how rough the edges of the body look. Gives it that beat up look that matches the paint really well. How did you do that? Butter knife? Hack saw?

It was actually done in photoshop. I had no idea the body turned out so dead sexy until I looked at the photos of it last night. With the amount of kids that will be looking at this build thread I decided to photoshop them to prevent kids from falling in love with this rig. It's really just better for the community.

I am using the limiters. I like the limited travel on scalers, makes for more challenging lines.

Nice! I'll take the small one. :)

Dammit you beat me to it! I guess mine's not a full SCX-10 tho....It's got TLT's under it, but my CGR is on it's way to me right now!

It looks really good, will look even more like a Scout when it's got some trail rash! Nice!

im ready to see the roof rack also

great build.and the lowering of the battery tray was a good add to showing how to lower the cog of the scx10.

Id love to see video of the rig doing the climb "thumbsup"

Thanks man. It was a busy night tonight, mounted the bumpers, winch and roof rack.

Processing all the pics now.

[badger]

I made the bumper mounts out of flat aluminum stock, the front is about twice as thick as the rear to space the bumpers out from the body, nothing fancy on the mounts. After I finished with the bumper mounts, I mounted the rip off artists winch that will be replaced by a ScaleOffroad winch as soon as I get one. The winch will be wired directly to the winch port on the Novak Goat ESC.

Lookin good Badger, but it looks a little nekkid with no light bars or light pods on the bumper or somethin.. But still very cool.

Thanks. Yes the dash stickers did come with the body. If you ask nicely I bet Proline would send you the stickers.

Lookin good Badger, but it looks a little nekkid with no light bars or light pods on the bumper or somethin.. But still very cool.

I'm not going to install the light bar on the roof rack, this rig will be beat on and will be rolled over and over and over again, a light bar would not survive. I do plan on adding head & tail lights, lights in the front bumper and some rock lights.

I wasn't going for a prerunner or desert type look, this is a scale crawler/trail rig.

Dang John, that is freakin sweet looking!8-)

Thanks man.

You couldn't tell from the bumper mounts that I made that I don't make my own parts? At least not the ones you can see on the outside of the body. :ror:

[chino63]

Looks good with all the scale stuff and the color turned out great but I agree with Brandon. The green looks like you got some "ricer" neon glow going on there or something.... Rookie....

I'm not sure I follow what you guys are saying? Of course I painted both sides of the rock rings and I haven't even added lights to it yet and why in the world would I add some ricer kit lights to one of the greatest SCX-10 builds off all time?

Are you sure that you both are not just green with envy?

[dpdsurf]

Looking great Badger! I was going to braze my own bumpers but I think I'm liking the look of the prolines and the fact that they will be lighter better. I can't believe Novak made a custom Goat for you with a "winch port", nice!!!

I was just messing with Nluv cause he did catch the green tint in my original photos but I removed it in each of the photos to make Nluv look crazy (and to also clean up the photos).

I was going to ask about the rock sliders too. Also, do you have any rubbing issues with the front bumper like Brandon did? I do know he hacked off a bit of his front frame, perhaps that is why? Looks great Badger, help me find someone who wants to by my brushless, upgraded Slash so I can get a SCX-10!

[eron]

Gorgeous work! very clean, and awesome pictures! Definitely one of the nicest SCX-10's I've seen. I would suggest some rock sliders as well. I think that would really set off the truck. Also, the springs are powder coated or something similar, and the springs are dye-able, maybe dye the springs white, that would really make them stand out. "thumbsup"

[DBR]

Badger,

I love those bumper mounts. If I didn't know I would take a finger off trying, I would make brackets like that for mine. Could you mount the bumpers directly to the frame end pieces without the plate? or are there no holes that would line up?

[badger]

I mounted my body as centered as possible on the chassis so both the front and back of the body meet up with the ends of the frame. This forced me to trim more of the rear fenders off but the body slides in perfect right behind the bumpers. Keep in mind though, I used different thickness of aluminum for the front and rear bumper mounts to get the clearance I needed.

I don't need another Slash, I already have three (one working). :ror:

The spacing of the holes in the Western bumpers are off just enough on both the front and rear not allowing you to directly bolt the bumper to the frame end cross members. Even if I could have done that though, I would still need to space them out from the frame a little to clear the body.

I guess I will need to start making offerings to my tool gods so that when I get around to making some brackets 1) my fingers survive intact and 2) the don't look like complete and utter crap. Practice is cheap, disfigurement is forever."thumbsup"
