|  Shane's SCX 2.2 Blazer
SCX blazer Homemade frame mounted steering. 4 link front and rear, G-Made driveshafts (well see). Right at 11.25" wheelbase. Proline floor pan with homemade electronics box. Very little trimming to get the floor pan under the blazer body. I didn't use that much foam in the tires cause they are a pretty firm compound. Sidewinder ESC, Scorpion HK 2221-12 outrunner, 11.1v lipo, BEC, Winch will be on there sometime. Updates later. Still lots of work to do. Anyways, pictures. Yes, I know there is a double bumper up front, for now. Tips, comments, suggestions.? Last edited by Szczerba; 08-31-2010 at 08:32 PM. |

| ready to go
Got all the electronics installed. Sidewinder, 3S lipo, Scorpion Outrunner HK-2221-12, 20t pinion, Castle BEC. Just need to setup the battery mounts and mount up the blazer lid. 4lb 8oz RTR, minus body. Power to weight ratio is way in the power range.  Couple short videos in the shop uploading. I like the way these Swamp Dawgs bark. Last edited by Szczerba; 09-01-2010 at 08:43 PM. |

Yep, Gets everything up and out of the way (for looks) and helps the flex a bit (more consistant) like any 4 link will. I did the same setup on my cherokee. A little bump steer at full compression. But I ain't gunna worry about that. You do have to get the right position of the servo and servo arm length setup halfway decent, or things will bind while compressing. Just like everything. Test, modifiy, Test. Same steering on the Cherokee here. Stole WarTraders setup, kinda. Szczerba's Cherokee (Minus some doors) |

| changed wheels added wideners
Went with a different setup on the berg so the blazer got the ATi Turbines. They are berg offset but I had some wideners in the tool box. With the wideners it puts it back to axial offset plus 3-5mm wider. Took it for a test run. The additional weight from the new wheels makes it handle better but I am going to have to drill out the axial diff output shafts so the driveshaft set screw will hold better. Still rockin' the double bumper up front. Guess I will just paint it silver on the body or get another scx bumper mount sometime. |

I like the look of the swamp dogs. The swamp dogs have a decently soft sidewall but the treads are a lil too firm. The only foam i have in them in a small 3/4" x 4" slice of non memory foam. Just enough to hold it upright. I like both tires. I have both. dawgs on this rig and an option setup of 2.2 slingers for the cherokee. Another short video uploading. | |

ive got a set of 2.2 slingers myself, and they are really soft, I want to make a strict mudder truck and I bet the swamp dawgs would be perfect if they are a little harder
