Axial brought their SCX10 RTR to Worlds 2009 at Donner and we had a blast driving it on some of the best terrain in the world. Lots of competitors and spectators had a chance to get some time behind the wheel, it was great to see everybody impressed.

Figured I would share a few of my favorite shots from the weekend.

Code454 · 09-08-2009, 12:07 PM

Great shots

gonna have to save my money and buy one

Brandon · 09-08-2009, 12:10 PM

Plans for the beginning of this build:

Install Axials NVS Lighting system
Install the Dingo body light buckets
Install Axials 4-Link Axle truss
Utilize the scale parts from Axial's Interior and Exterior part tree's

I will try to get some pictures up today of the progress

poorboyrc77 · 09-08-2009, 01:01 PM

The more I see of the scale rtr the more I like it.

pardonmyn00b · 09-08-2009, 02:43 PM

The second pic down is awesome. That terrain looks perfect for scale shots.

Benzbuildr · 09-08-2009, 07:50 PM

Nice, keep us posted

I really like the TR.

Yes, but remember this is a scale truck with smaller tires. The abuse is minimal compared to a 2.2 comp rig and they hold up just fine on the RTC.

Street price will be less. I started wiring them up last night, with all the features and lights included in the kit plus the lights that come on the RTR this rig is going to look like a Christmas tree

In a good way of course. Even the blinkers work when you steer!!

The kit is great. If you like the look of the RTR you could always pick up the body and cage to mount on your kit

Didnt want to clutter the thread up too much

So on Friday I received the new lexan light buckets that will be included with the Dingo body when purchased separately. I spent a little time this weekend installing them on the pre painted RTR body.

1. I had to remove the stickers and cut out the area for the light bucket out of the body.

2. I had a few directions I could have gone. First thought was to clean up the cuts and glue in a sheet of lexan with the light buckets glued in behind that to give the illusion of the body clear in that area. Second thought was to use some diamond plate styrene in front with the flat lexan and light bucket on the inside of the body. I went with option 2.

3. I cut out the light buckets and painted them chrome and black. I also cut some flat lexan slightly larger than the hold to mount inside the body. Then the diamond plate styrene was cut for the outside to fit the shape of the body and the hole big enough for the light buckets.

4. I painted the styrene and bolted everything together with M2 Hardware. This was a better solution than gluing everything and it gave it a nice finished look with the diamond plate.

Finished product!

JOOTZ · 09-09-2009, 09:29 AM

that looks great, nice

sally1800 · 09-09-2009, 09:30 AM

Brandon · 09-09-2009, 09:36 AM

Check out the fancy packaging for the NVS system.

Cant wait to get this wired up.

leftcoastminis · 09-09-2009, 10:04 AM

I'm so annoyed about this truck

I totally would have bought this one rather than the RTC I bought a month ago...

70duncan · 09-09-2009, 11:30 AM

Can't wait to see what else is done to this.

I need a set of those bumpers badly

. I have a jeep build I am doing and those are the bumpers that will finish it off.
