My First AX-10/x-trail

I own a full scale Jeep Rubicon and have been into R.C. for years so I decided to build a Jeep crawler. Let me know what you think so far, I still have a lot I want to do to it.

Basic parts list:
-Axial Scorpion
-X-trail frame
-Novak goat system
-Traxxas radio and Hitec servos
-HPI Jeep body(not the one pictured, just using it for mock up)
Parts to be added:
-rc4wd aluminum bead locks
-soft mud slingers
-VF front dig
-front and rear bumpers

Pics dont work.:shock:

Very nice! I'm looking at building an AX-10 and the scale chassis is looking interesting. I'd like to hear how it crawls, too.

nice work
clean, and sharp "thumbsup"

I know it's an old thread, but I like the way you positioned the electronics tray. How is the end closest to the transmission secured?

I had fabbed up some brackets in that picture however I have since changed that mount. It is still in the same location but I am now using 1/4" square aluminum rod drilled and tapped on both ends and then drilled and tapped for the electonics tray. It is now a lot stronger and doubles as a chassis cross member.
Thanks for checking it out and I hope the info. comes in handy for you.
