Really nice truck. When I finally get my Scx10 I need to put a blue oval body on it. Where did you get that one with the grill and everything?

One plan I have for it would be to lower it. Like I was goin to widein the axel and lower the shocks and go with bigger tires. I just dont know where to get axel spacers. And would it be as simple as putting the axel spacers on and getting lower shocks and throwing on some 2.2s or somthing?

Today I went through my closet for some clothes that did not fit me, so I could send them to the Joplin area for the relief of the tornado deal. And found some scale stuff to put on the truck. I found a sleepin bag, .22 bullet cartrage that I painted red(like a toolbox), and a GI joe gun. Made the ''bungie'' cords me self, sorry bout the blue one, kind of messes up the radicalness. Quote:

Yes they fit, my brother in law bought them for his dingo converted to honcho, he bought tsl 2.2 super swampers. then we bought axial 2.2 rock locker rims. the tires rubbed on the links. the extensions worked very well. till he bought rims with maximum widening offset. then he didn't need them anymore. The only problem with buying these, is if the rear is locked straight axle, you can't use these extensions (just the back). the only way you can use the extensions on the rear is if you have 4 wheel steer. if you look at the picture the rear extensions are the same as front with the cv joint cup. they still work great on the front however. just a heads up! Most stuff that is built for ax10 does fit the scx10. depending on what you buy. like the axles and the transmissions are exactly the same. drive shafts are the same. most parts are interchangeable with the ax10. somethings you hvae to watch. like the bent links for the ax10 are missing a few peices to make it work on the scx10, you have to buy 2 sets of ax10 bent links to fit them properly on the scx10 to make it proper 4 link. the kit is built for ax10 3 link. my brother in law is running the bent links on the lowers, and had to use the stock plastic links for the uppers because the kit didn't come with the right parts for the upper links. buying a 2nd bent link kit would solve that problem. it has to do with the 3 link, and wanting to make it a 4 link. if that makes sense to you. |

Ya that makes sence. But that also might be bad news, mainly because my rear might be locked What happens if I would go head and put them on the back, even though they are locked? Last edited by Hydro-Tank; 05-26-2011 at 08:46 PM. |
