Oh goodness, very nice stuff there. I can not believe the detail in all the pieces. Very nice work VP! I hope my post does not get deleted for not having tech! |

| Re: Badger's SCX10 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with VP Currie Rock Axles Thank you for being yourself and posting such a lame comment. I've been running the stock "dog bones" in my original Honcho from day 1 and still do not have any issues with them. It's my scaler, not my comp rig, I don't need it to steer like one. Besides, I purposely left the dog bones in for my next photos to show that the stock axial components are compatible with the Currie rockjock axles. Not everyone has an unlimited budget for their rc crawlers and might not be able to afford the axles and every other billet upgrade possible in one purchase. This way they know they can upgrade their SCX10 in stages if needed. |

I'm not sure everyone is going to run the skid plate on their Currie rockjock axles because the slight loss in clearance but it's definitely a very nice addition for those who do. Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Currie axle servo mount installed Hi-Res version Hi-Res version For those that can't afford to buy the Currie rockjock axles as well as all the other cool billet upgrades at the same time, it's good to know that the stock SCX10 axle components are compatible with the VP Currie axles. Hi-Res version And for the lucky ones that can (minus the VP VVD's), it's makes for one bad ass bullet proof axle for your scaler.

Awesome stuff, well worth the wait! I'm getting a box of wonderful VP goodness today as well, including black Curries for my Wrangler. What gearset are you using in this build? Also, in the fully built axle, what parts did you use from the SCX-10? Thanks Badger! |

In order to get the 4 M3x6mm set screws tightened enough so they were flush with the housing I had to tighten each set screw down then back it out a little bit and tighten it down again 3 times. This is normal and ensures that the set screws are firmly securing the axle tubes in place. Hi-Res version Currie rockjock rear axle assembled Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Hi-Res version The VP Currie rockjock axles have a bunch of extra holes in the axle tubes to use as mounting locations for future add-on's and I did not want to leave them open so dirt can get in so I went down to my LHS to get 16 M3x3mm set screws to plug the holes. Hi-Res version Got a set of the Vanquish Products Currie/SCX Titanium 10 pcs. Link kit to replace the stock plastic links. Hi-Res version Links installed on the axles, make sure you install your upper links on the front axle before you install the Currie axle servo mount. I also replaced the stock plastic flanged balls with Axial's upgraded steel flanged balls. IMO the steel flanged balls should be standard and not an upgrade because the stock plastic ones are crap, if you over tighten the screws at all they compress and bind up. Hi-Res version Hi-Res version If you plan on mounting your servo in the stock location on the axle then you will need to remove the front frame brace. Also, you won't be able to relocate the stock battery plate to the front of the truck because at full suspension compression the steering servo comes up through the front of the chassis. Fortunately the SCX10 chassis has plenty of other locations to mount the battery and IMO having the Currie axles is well worth not being able to mount the battery up front. Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Finally hung the axles under the chassis! Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Last edited by badger; 02-20-2013 at 02:19 PM. |

Finally time to build the OMF 1.9 Scaler Rockcrawler Beadlock wheels with a new set of Axial 1.9 Maxxis Trepador Tires R35. Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Hi-Res version Gotta have a full size functional spare. Hi-Res version If your planning on running the stock SCX10 Jeep JK wheels and tires with VP's SCX10 8 degree knuckles you will need to get a set of wider hexes to space the wheel out from the hub a little. This is with the stock JK wheel & tire installed. Hi-Res version This is with the VP OMF 1.9 Scaler Rockcrawler Beadlock wheels and VP SLW Hex Hubs size 600.

Those are awesome pics. Very sharp. Are you shooting them in RAW format? Another Q, do you think the 475 spacer would clear the 8* VP knuckles? |
