|  Slowepoke scx10 tr
So the wife got me a scx10 tr for my birthday. I wanted to make it my own. So what I've done to it is: cc sidewinder esc proline '70 F-100 body (painted the inside and out) moved the battery tray to the front and electric box to the back (for a gas tank type look) 3racing winch Traxxas 3 channel rx/tx custom 4 link in the rear, stock 4 link in the front (when I get the rest of the hardware tomorrow) homemade license plate. I know thread's are pointless with out pics!!! So here you go When it was new  The inner coat of paint  One of the outer coats  What it looks like now  The winch  My plate  A little flex  You can see the links  |

Yes they are old arrows. I couldn't find the tubing I wanted so I improvised. I have 8-32 threaded rod going through it so I could make a custom size to fit the body.

So the family and I went up to Bass lake this weekend. I had a chance to get to the scx10 of and took some pics.      And at the end of the day I decided to strike a pose.  I took a lot more but I liked these the best. All in all we had a great weekend. |

Your Dingo looks really nice. Can I ask you why you painted the inner and outter side of the body? Is this because once scratched, the paint will look like primer (gray) ? Also, did you try this body with 2.2" tires? |

Sylvain: I did it that way so as the outside gets scratch up it looks like rust showing through. No I haven't tried 2.2's I'm not a big fan of them. 2500hdon37s: I did notice that after I installed it I'll play with the slipper tonight if I get time. crawler newbie: Thats awesome maybe we can get together in the next couple weeks. |
