|  My SCX10 TR Dingo
While waiting for the parts to built my XR10, I bought a SCX10 to ease the waiting pain. And I did a little modification, not so standard, and makes it crawl a bit better   new 2.4 remote  awesome light    plastic, too plastic  the power is good enough for me, and my children  the steering push rods are to soft, and servo is kinda weak.  Thanks for watching! Last edited by rover901; 03-11-2011 at 10:11 PM. |

Obssessed about the car, went to LHS next day after puchasing the SCX10, and bought some parts: The high clearance lower link:   I don't know why I do this to a 1.9 scaler, but I want to use bigger wheels/tires   But the wheels are too big for the body so I have to cut the body to fit the tires(and take off the wheel arc), as well as some bumper must be cut   to be continued...... |

and the next day I went to another LHS to get the upper links, product from TOPCAD, have to add some spacers and cut the original screws to fix this on the SCX10:  the new setting, I moved the battery from rear to front to add weight to the front for better crawling ability:  And I accidentally bought a set of hop up front parts:   now the steering is even more precise and fast, but the servo showing its limit..... And I accidentally get a set of metal light, and a switch for additional light:    |

I have a problem, the front wheels still scratch the body a bit, but I don't want to cut the body anymore, and I don't want to use extender to extend the wheel outwards..... and I find that the stroke of the suspension is not long enough to make the 4 wheels touching the ground:   what should I do, I try this:   now:      My next target is metal drive shafts, servo. thanks for watching |

This looks nice! You seem to have the money to make it look good! I recommend longer links because the original ones will break easily because of a lot of flex... Keep up the good work man!  |

your stock shocks stll have the bumpstop. Removig the rubber sleeve at the bottom of the shock would have given you more flex, but I like it with the new shocks!

Nice Build, just got through with one just like it Check out your bent lower links, they look to be making contact with the upper link.. Try putting the stock lowers back on. I'm willing to bet you'll get all of your stock flex back and then some.. Last edited by Twisted Nuts; 03-12-2011 at 07:13 AM. |
