Axial scx10 73 bronco

[pobrockcrawler]

I managed to rescue my high lift jack and put it on the back of my bronco. The jack was broken into 3 pieces, turned out good i think.







Thanks for having a look

Yep, I can only see one repair and I think a little paint would hide it.

Just got back from taking my truck out, i went to my local dirt jumps with my mate and thought i should take my truck, it performed flawlessly and might have persuaded my mate to get an scx10 also, good job i had both my batteries fully charged as we only drove the truck, didn't do any dirt jumping haha. Unfortunately i didn't take any picture but i must say the truck looked beast all covered in dust

Put my proline titus wheels on, i think i prefer the look over the axials, they also make the tyres look bigger, while i had the wheels apart, i made some wheel weights out of lead, no idea how much the weigh but they have improved the performance of the truck





thanks for viewing

SCX10's look great when covered in dust/mud. Nice to see something that ain't a Jeep.

I have to agree, I must take some pictures the next time it is covered in dust and mud, and yeah, seeing as have already had 3 jeeps (cherokee, comanche, 4 door jk) i thought I should change and get a ford, Thanks

Made a small log climb thing when I got home from college today, managed to get a few pictures and couple of crummy videos.

Your bronco looks great! Can't wait to see that bumper when it's finished. Might do one for my 80 Chevy k10 project (aka jealousy)

Thanks dude, i'm glad they did come out that nice because they just saved me whole lot of money on some new wheels.

Thanks, that bumper should be in the works soon, still need to get some brass though, it's quite expensive in the UK,

The repair on the HiLift is barely noticeable and the perfect mounting location. That blue is awesome. I like the wheels in all black instead of the gray.

Thanks for the compliments man, the original plan was to spray the rings black but they just looked too good (to me) in grey.

Made a skid plate last week end and have been testing throughout the week, works well. It's made out of 2mm aluminium.

Here are the pictures, don't hate my ice cream tub battery plate and inner fenders, they're only temporary until i get some styrene, but they do the job







Thanks the having a look

I've been messing around with some suspension set ups in the past couple days and think i have found a good one, the only con is it is not entirely scale (i think). This set up makes the truck muck more predictable as the rear end articulates easier and more but it still maintains a good ride height.





Ride Height




Thanks for looking, if you have any tips or advice, that will be greatly appreciated.

Finally took my truck out for a proper run, made some more effective inner fenders and a chassis mounted bump stop for the rear end.















Overall it did great, thanks for looking
