The C.O.A.T. SCX10 build

[bro_die]

Careful because too much articulation can get you into trouble. Itll flop around.

[mitchr97]

yup, I know. i have the rear susspension cranked all the way down, with just the large spring. I had noticed it was a bit softer in the back.

[96speedZ28]

I was talking about the shocks actually, sorry.

Thats how I mounted my battery also.

[96speedZ28]

Time for a new body as well.

[mitchr97]

Oh! my bad. Ya i was running stock scx10 shocks, but on of the skrews backed out, and got the shock gammed in the wheel, and snapped the shock body in half. so got som traxxas 90mm i think shocks? Put those up front, kuz they were stiff put the stock shocks int the stock location in the back. went mudding, and snapped an outdrive shaft, so time for some steel ones.

Got my motor in! The 12t ran great over the weekend! btw, does any one know how to break in an Orion method modified 19t motor? it only has 2 small vents, and has exposed wireing.

Thanks!

[mitchr97]

Does anyone know if venom makes steel outdrive shafts for the ax10?

[mitchr97]

Oh! And I found out what shocks I have. they are tmaxx ones. I going to ask my dad to see if I can trade my springs for the rear stampede ones.

[mitchr97]

What do ya guys think?



Should I paint that thang up and mount it?

it looks good, and I really like it.
There are a couple thinngs I need to do before I can paint.

1: get that paint that i put in it out!!
2: clean I tout again.

Then after I paint it I am going to cut the front bumper off, so itll fit on the stock bumper.
1:Get a 9v battery adapter, and a light switch
2:get 2 3mm red leds
3:get a traxxas sludgehammer bumper set

And I still need to order my outdrives... sorry.

[juswin24]

Go for it. It'll look good on there. Go'na paint inside or out?

[mitchr97]

In. It's goin to be Blue and pearly white. And I'm goin to order my outdrives first.

[mitchr97]

This is kind of what Iwould like my truck to look like. Im thinkin yoat axles now tho. rc4wd rock stompers (or what ever that tread is) axial wraith int. axial chrome acents and maybe 1.55 landies.

[mitchr97]

I found a good shock set up:



It works really good!

[mitchr97]

Ordered my outdrives! Maybe ill have some pics up of it next week.

[mitchr97]

I got my outdrives installed a couple days ago.
I was on my way to test a new spot i found, when my truck just stopped moving... But the motor was still going... ?

So I took the body off, and take a look:

Ya. no screws. So I went back to the place It stopped moving and found one of my screws!

So today, I went out side, and got it a tinny bit wet, and the speed controller just stopped.... no beeping or anything! and the stupid thing is water proofed already! Any Idea of what might have happened?

Thanks for looking

[mitchr97]

NO one? guys I would like to know if i can fix it.

[arcanecrawler89]

well in eather matter i blew both my front and rear axles on my scx10 yesterday. that was after i tried to make a temp fix to the front shaft with laceing wire but it bit me in the ass >__< guess thats wat i get for running a vxl brushless set up with 3s lipo lol.

[arcanecrawler89]

its gonna suck but ur gonna have to let it dry i thought my old set up i had in my dingo was fried till i tried it a few weeks later after it stopped workin and it was fine so thats one thing u could try lol. and as far as gettin ur motor broken in look up how to on youtube. hope it helps!

[mitchr97]

Thanks! It works now.

I took the 19t out cuz' it didn't go fast enough So I put it in the '86 Kyosho ultima:

Needs new tires LOL

So I put the 12t back in the scx10
