So I had the Recaro seats laying around so I decided to throw them onto the AX10 tonight. I think they turned out pretty good. Has anyone else made any interior mods to their Scorpion yet?

It was simple to do, I just got some new body posts which are longer than stock and installed them. Next I set up the seats in the Jeep to where they fit and looked right and marked the bottom of the seat. Then I used a 3/32 drill bit to drill holes through the bottom of the seats up through the backrest. The seats went back in the Jeep and lined up so that the body posts could be marked. After drilling the body posts, I just screwed the seats to the posts. Perfect fit.

Whatcha think, not too cheesy looking is it?

Needs a driver. You wouldn't happen to be a Jeep wrangler fan would you? Couldn't help but notice the toys in the backround.

that stick pack will limit your articulation badly. I cut mine apart, just the two end ones with the wires, and built it back up with the two removed in line and on top of the four, triangle like. works awesome, puts the weight on the front axle and it tucks under the body, behind the tires, and is not in the way of the springs and shocks. or a another good idea is a pack built like a six pack of your favorite beverage, about the same size as the unit described above, My LHS has them for electric planes ready to go.

you'r seats look cool, how comfortable are they?
