Creativity is the name of the game. There are quite a few post by people who have used the ax10 and built a scaler on the chassis. In my opinion make sure the wheel base will be compatible with your choice of vehicle. Also get that body as low as possible to cover the ax chassis plates. There are some great deals on scaler chassis's out there. Look at TCS X-trail awesome product and all compatible w/ ax10 parts.

I love that so far, no joke I was about to exactly the same body but I sold my AX10 when I finished up my GC3A. I was going to run RC4WD dually wheels and use it as a tow vehicle for my comp rig and drift car.

Ya man ! Thats what I was referring too. You may want to move that rear axle back a little to square it up to the body.

Yes ladies and gents, I used it AND IT WORKS!!!
ALTHOUGH.. i did have to take the dremel cut blade and cut them so they will fit just right without the shaft play



#5319 turn buckles for my lower links, good because they stretch out some


Integy Steering links WOOT


As u see here to i had to relocate the body post because it would not fit on the body properly
where the antenna is pointing is the actual hole for the body post but i move them up to the electronic tray arms

And this was from tonight.. i still have LOTS to do, and ill be posting here.. Id love to continue hearing everyones input it helps me alot. specially for being so new in this crawler/scaler area.

I'm taking this one step farther. I want to be able to easilly swap from scaler to comp trim, so I am building a seconday frame that quickly attaches to the AX10 frame.

I'm in the rough cutting and fitting stage right now.

Alignment check on the AX10 frame:


Fit test on the Comanche Body:
