Szczerba's IFS SCX Build

[Yotapane]

this view shows th now shimmed lf knuckle wit double triangular mounted upper control arms to stop the knuckle from moving front to back....no motion at the knuckle now...rf had no slop ..and now it has full travel up and down i only limited it to the inner drive cups at the front diff...shocks are for mock up only..fronts will be 100mm kings and rear will have dual 110 kings and 100 mm kings with springs removed let me know what you guys think[IMG]

[Szczerba]

I tried running two upper arms but didn't try very hard to set it up right. The other option was to have someone design a single upper arm.

Nice work.

found a few mins to work on it sunday..made the skidplate removeable and added a few crossbars to the cage..few more bars and then 6 days and a ton of dremel sanding drums..stones and cutoff wheels to clean it all up..love my mig but leaves alot of cleanup

Tease! From now on, No more updates unless you have pictures.
I like the tucked in front end now.

[Yotapane]

so i recieved my 1.9 mayhem slammerz from Mighty1 and found that the standard .450 hubs were still too narrow to clear the lower control arms..they clear the arms by about.002 of an inch..wheels spin freely lock to lock but iff a grain of sand gets sucked between the arms and wheels i could see complete devistation ...called up mayhem and ordered .650s for the front which will make the front track width roughly 3/16 wider...i like the wide track look on prerunners anyways...onto the picshard to get a good pic of the black wheels..was gonna order them in machine finnish but couldnt pass up a great deal on these..

[Yotapane]

well im hatin myself for this but i just bought out the family buisiness and see myself having zero time to complete this rig so ck out the f/s section and see what you can do with it....awesome rig but just wont be able to finish it.....

[TeamJaM]

Well I ended up buying this... I was looking for a project to slowly work on and this is unique, which I like. I'm not really sure what my plans are, I won't know for sure until I get and look it over. Right now I'm thinking of maybe reworking the bumper a little to make it into a class 2 rig, but we'll see.. Updates will be slow but I plan to continue to post on this thread.

[Szczerba]

Good deal. Glad to see it still getting worked on.

[Szczerba]

This rig went to NorCal for a while then Over to New York and now back to Arkansas. Truck was changed up a bit here and there.

Glad to have it back, well what's left of it.

I pulled the IFS off the old chassis and mated to a new chassis. Still need to get the old axle off the old setup cause it is flipped to run with the backwards turning HPI IFS. Ill have to remake the low pro battery and electronics plate as well as move the old servo mount to the new chassis.

[Szczerba]

Servo mount moved over to new chassis. Still needs one more support screw to be drilled/tapped. Glad I have done this once before!

[Szczerba]

Rebuilt the front skid and battery electronics plate. Similar to what I made the first time but the elecs plate is all one piece. Just need to mount to trans and IFS cross brace.

[Szczerba]

Knocked the dust off the IFS SCX and reworked the rear end.
Light bar, radiator, spare tire and shock mounts.

Rear is still in fabrication mode. Ignore crooked screws and whatnot.

Thanks. This rig started out as one thing when i built it originally, went to the West coast, then the East coast and now I'm making it into something else. I added some electronics to it yesterday and wheeled around for a bit. Still a very capable rig. Helps that Battery is way up front and down low. Painted the inner fenders up last night.

goooood job that thing looks amazing and i bet it handles the sand pretty good too

[monkeyracer]

This thing is well traveled! It's on it's way here to Crawlerado, and I've got a few plans for it. Keep tuned to this thread for updates once I get working on it.
