Default yet another scx10 lux build

Hey guys, im back after a few years away from rc, a while back i bought a cheap hsp crawler and been playing around modding it ever since.

Specs:
2.2 flat irons
120mm HR shocks at almost full droop and softest springs
Hobbywing crawler 35a esc
1200kv leopard
3s lipo
10a rc4wd BEC
Sxc10 chassis
HSP front axle
Scx10 rear axle
Stock HSP radio gear (for now)
Stock HSP servo (its crap wont be there much longer)

Plans for my rig so far are:
Custom links
Rear susp mod to A setup
Battery tray drop
Elec box to rear (if theres room after the A setup)
Set of rc4wd cast yota axles
An exo (not sure weather ill try to build it or get it built)

So it went from this...


To this...


And now to this...




So after all that i've decided to put a rc4wd mojave body on it.

And heres the body


And after a spray


Nice and bright lol

Im having a little trouble with link lengths and the rear suspension at the moment, waiting on parts to do the rear sus mod so the body mounts right.

If anyone can help with link lengths please let me know

Anyway guys, will keep updates when i get things done.

Cheers, joely.

So today i got bored and decided to do a few things.

I've moved the electrics box to the rear, looks like a fuel tank ;)



Dropped the battery tray right down


And played with the rear suspension just to get the body sittin on for now (waiting on axle to do rear shock A setup) still gotta make up some links to get it all sitting right and work out how to mount the body.




Oh and heres a bit of a video on my backyard trail just cause im bored

I have heard they are very good tires. Possibly why people use them on their 1:1 rigs
