Random parts build SCX-10

[CiLyX]

Hey guys new to the fourms but I've seen lots of great pics and info.

Just wana start off I have 3 honchos in my collection my latest one ive built with spare and random parts I've had laying around this is so far what I've done out of all the random/spare parts.
The beauty of this is how nothing matches it's just a fun truck

Gmade axles/diffs
Mixture between plastic bent and alloy links
Standard drive shafts in the back cut down to suit the shorter rear end, junfac's on the front because it was laying around.
6 light led kit
Wraith gearbox with 80t spur
Some old 100t (apparently) rock crawler motor from some cheap rock crawler I had but I've burnt it out already so will be replacing it.
Holmes hobby esc from another build with Bec
Standard axial servo
2.2 rox lox on the front and 2.2 ripsaws on the rear.
This has been great fun to build I'm loving how random it is lol

Well I just totally burnt out the motor lol anyone have suggestions what to put in this bad boy?? So far it hasent cost me. Cent but I'm thinking new rims TSL super swampers and wheel wideners, probly all il need to buy

How do you like the proline shocks over the stock ones just asking because im looking to upgrade :p

[CiLyX]

Bit stiffer same length, but because my chassis sits so high they just haven't got the length I need to find the ground when I'm flexing they bottom out well before, might have to switch to gmade shocks

[CiLyX]

Anyone have an idea on a better shock that will give me more down would reach?

Personally, I have yet to feel this way with my 4" big bores.. I even run a limiting strap on the center of my rear axle to level out my rig but keep my full travel an has worked great all season!
For a motor.. HH torque master pro 27-35t ... Can't go wrong there!

[CiLyX]

Yeah I looked at them But then a hand wound 55t tekin took my eye lol yeah my problem with these gmade diffs, (I haven't dont exact measurements) is that from where they mount to the diff is a 70mm gap so I've only got 20 odd mm to play with. I'm thinking about removing the rear spring to see what changes I can get still a lot of fine turning to go.

I found I liked the integy motors more then the tekin motors. I never said a word, had a friend switch from integy to tekin handwound, then after one day, took the tekin back out an put the integy back in... Then the diff of goin with a HH.. crazy! Just my .02

[creepinchevy69]

Hell yeah man that rig came out clean you should call it Frankenstein haha

[CiLyX]

I've had many intergy parts and they have all been rubbish, never used there motors tho but I run tekin in all my rigs love their motors, but I spent some money last night was going to buy another two 2.2 rox lox seeing I have rims that fit but I could only find two for $30 and 15 postage.. So I got 4 2.2 tsl super swampers with memory foam for 61 with postage.
And that's an awesome name! Should get a grave digger body for it!

[CiLyX]

Been looking at grave digger body's compared to dingo body's.
grave digger measures (377mm)
Where the dingo is about (430mm) so basically a 50mm difference but will it be noticeable difference?

How I mounted the lights and put a bit to much weight in the front so far it weights 2.5kg
