Getting a jeep Rubicon unlimited

[bigred22]

So ik this trucks some what of a new product but how is it in stock form. Im getting the rtr version so how r the shocks to stiff to soft? Ill be throwing a 35t motor in it right away and making my own aluminum links all around but whats the good and the bad that u guys have found so far?

It's almost the same thing as the Honcho minus the new tires and the new body. Performs the same as well.

As far as stock, it performs pretty good but you can make it better by adding weights in your tires and battery placement

The SCX 10 is designed to be a crawler. When you start going fast with the SCX10 you will need to upgrade the front axle with aluminum c-hubs, steering knuckles, steering link and probably universal joint axles.

So I have the wraith and all the weight is in the back and it sounds like this is the same issue with the scx10. And as the two speed part thays not for going fast its for running from trial to trail faster

I d just go with the stock rtr and then upgrade with time passing in the field. I can recommend you to change it from the 3-link front to a 4-link setup.you even get the parts with your RTR except for the screws.

What size screws are needed? I'm getting a Rubicon as well and I would like to convert it to 4 link.

you need a M3x30mm cap head or button head with matching M3 lock nut to mount the links to the truss, and then two M3x8 self tapping cap or button heads to screw the truss into the top of the axle.

2 speedtrans works really well just watch your servo endnpoint adjustments

[Ramboy06]

i found mine worked pretty well right outta the box. BUT... i did make a few adjustments. i removed the swingout tire carrier, lowered the body posts 3 notches i think and flipped the tires around. those few things made a difference on my home turf i run on lol

[bigred22]

Got a 2 speed for it ill b using a hpi standard servo so about 40 in/lbs will that be good or to much

[bigred22]

Y did u lower it to get better cog?

[bigred22]

Thanks I planed on doing this but did not know u needed screws

[bigred22]

Any of u guys have a good link to a video on moving battery forward

If you want to buy a nice setup, here is a Link for Jevne Racing Plate

If you want to DIY you are going to need to get creative including doing more research... info is already out there

I got lazy and went with the Jevne plate myself... very nicely made, close to perfect design for my need's.

But its like 45 $ to much to spend for me cuz im a cheap skate lol like to do things free
