Thanks! The looks are deceiving. The tires are a low-pro style tire so they don't fill the wheel wells. Its on stock 90mm shocks and doesn't sit any higher than my other SCX10's. Gonna take it out tomorrow and test it off road.

Thanks! Here is a link to the wheels. They look sweet. They are glue type not bead locks.

Looks great man. I'm stuffing a New Bright LR3 shell on my SCX10 right now, in fact. Curious, what length links did you use for the rear? I ended up buying some aluminum tube, cut it down to size [actual length evades me at the moment] and tapped the ends for 3mm thread to use the original plastic joints.

The very near future for my truck involves rear leafs, since I'm running the Hand Bros. 3-link and steering setup. Might toss a set of T-Rex 60 axles on it for grins, too.

Thanks! I started out with the dingo. Didn't change the front but in the rear the lowers are 70mm/ uppers are 55mm links.

The sliders are RC4WD's and they are awesome!

Are you having any binding issues with the shortened links and the stock 3-link set-up? Just wondering if cutting/drilling/tapping the old links for the 4-link conversion on my LR3 body swap was a mega waste of time.

Not a 3-link Its a 4-link. If you look at this picture you will see that I moved the lowers in. Used a longer screw and some spacers. Put the spacer where the link goes and move the link.

Thanks for the info. I wanted to use a truss like that but 4 wheel steering is too much fun. I had to settle for a 4 link plate with servo mounts.

That body looks sweet on the SCX10. I gotta say though, those tires look small in comparison. I know the tires are 4.75 inches tall, but that body makes them look small for some reason (which is good IMO).

Looks good

I thought it looked a little tall too, but the picture where it's next to the Jeep it looks about the right height.
