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.

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?

Thanks. Get a SCX-10, you won't be disappointed, and if you are, I'll buy you a body of your liking from Proline.

I didn't, but now I do. I will order a set tomorrow and get some pics of them mounted. Thanks.

Looks great Badger, help me find someone who wants to by my brushless, upgraded Slash so I can get a SCX-10!

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).

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.

killjoyken · 03-09-2009, 10:25 PM

Hey Badger, thanks for the winch on Sunday. Too bad my Jeep is a tank...guess I owe you a new winch hook.

You and Ted were really blazing trails, even the 2.2s were having trouble keeping up.

I can't believe how well that paint held up! What was the brand name again? (you guys should have seen it. the second Badger set his rig down, we all took turns ramming into him!

)

dman1101 · 03-19-2009, 10:14 PM

Hey Badger how did you mount that 3racing winch to the proline bumper I'm trying to figure out how to mount mine

Exellent build John, I'm just biginning my build and you give me some good points on improving the kit without changing out original parts and still keeping it stock.

70duncan · 04-20-2009, 12:38 AM

Great looking rig

. I am glad you covered your painting steps, I was trying to figure out how to do a military look on my scale build that would hold up to the punishment.
