Cool, time for some optional pull points and bumpers

Rc planet has them in stock 269.99 so much for early 09'

Pretty sure that is just a misprint. They are on the boat at the moment and won't be here for another 2 weeks. I would say mid-January is when they will hit.

thanks,

Is it going to have a on-the-frame servo mount when it releases? Or will this come later? thanks.

chris007 · 12-21-2008, 10:24 PM

Can we see a video of the truck in action

chassis is sick just wish it was metal instead of plastic.

It is metal... steel to be exact!

That'll probably be an option part at some point.

I'll try and get some video shot/edited in the near future.

Thanks,

Nice link with a lot of info but the instructions for download at the buttom of the page does not seem to work and I did try downloading from two different computers.

Something wrong with the pdf-file?

For those of you wondering about alternate scale bodies, I made a few measurements and looked up some stats.

First, as previously mentioned here, wheelbase of the SCX10 is 11.5", with an overall width of 9" (outer tire to outer tire)

OK, I busted out my Mountaineer (Bruiser) body and was pleased to see the wheelbase (center of wheelwell to center of wheelwell) was right at 11.5", and the overall width of the body is 7 1/2" (fender flare to fender flare) - so the stock SCX tires would only stick out about 3/4" on each side. Pretty much perfect I'd say!

Now, I don't have a Tundra (yet!) but searching the Tamiya website, it lists the Tundra as having a 12 1/4" wheelbase (3/4" longer than SCX10). Overall length is listed as 18 1/4", which is very close to the mountaineer body, so I'm guessing the body width will be close also. From what Bender says, and is pretty obvious from looking at the pics, it should be relatively simple to merely purchase slightly longer suspension links to lengthen the SCX10's wheelbase 3/4" to match the Tundra body! Since we're adding longer links, you could also run longer scale shocks for a "lift kit" as well - I plan to anyway.

Now, Axial / Bender, could one of you measure something for me please? I'd like to know the overall width from outer 12mm hex to outer 12mm hex. I know this would be different from the stock Scorpion, because the hexes are narrower on the SCX10. The reason I ask is I'd like to build a truck with your chassis and use the soon-to-be-released scale Blackwell (2 1/2 ton military copy) axles from RC4WD. I plan on using 2.2 Tires/wheels with a Tundra body. RC4WD specs show the Blackwell axles to have an overall width of 8" from hex to hex.

slolx50 · 12-23-2008, 07:53 AM

Please tell me these will be available separately!

iceman320 · 12-27-2008, 06:41 PM

this would make a great chassis to build a 2.2 scaler on also. are those the stock ax-10 axles? or did you guys build new axles that are narrower?

finishline · 12-28-2008, 01:16 AM

im so glad these are not released yet , cause all i can afford is to read and drull over these posts right now. christmas was expensive

81yoter · 01-01-2009, 10:00 AM

Ok its early '09. Where are these things?

chris4207 · 01-01-2009, 11:15 AM

Any updates as to when these wheels will be available? I NEED them. My rig has no wheels.

SnoopMaxx · 01-01-2009, 03:56 PM

Patiences it a virtue

At least that´s what I am telling my self

HDMM · 01-01-2009, 04:25 PM

Any word if there will be just a chassis kit available?

MiddleT · 01-01-2009, 05:41 PM

HDMM: Is this what you r talking about? http://axialracing.com/ftp/ax30525_frame_set.html

MuddyOval · 01-01-2009, 10:34 PM

Stupid question, maybe- What is the shortest wheelbase that can easily be done? This thing would be perfect for my D90 project, but it's kinda short as far as wheelbase.
Selectable diff locks somewhere in the future for Axial?

zach · 01-02-2009, 12:11 AM

are there any vids up yet?
