Talking My SCX10 build with customized body and bumpers!

This SCX10 has four link aluminum suspension and steering links. Waterproofed electronics, RC4WD "steelie" 1.9 wheels with RC4WD Mickey Thompson TTC baja claws (the 4.75" version) RC4WD front and rear bumpers painted, cut, and formed to fit the body better with RC4WD sliders/rockers. The body is the proline comanche of course but was fitted with Axial fender flares custom heated and molded to the body to fit the tires without raising center of gravity. (They are made for the square dingo body, not a rounded body) Body was painted with enough detail to add window moldings and imitated sliding rear window. I will probably add the proline interior later. Going to go out and knock the clean off of it this weekend. What do you guys think of her?

Well I tried a heat gun first but I really needed a more concentrated heat source. I ended using my soldering iron and just carefully hovering it close to the lexan while adding pressure where I needed it.

Im hitting the trail with the baja claws this weekend. But I used them on the test course on run my wraith with the 5.75 super swampers on andbit performed very well so I have high ecspectations. I can give a full review of the tires sunday night.

Im running the stock foams, they feel good. We'll see how they perform, check this video out comparing the different tires including the baja's very good comparison video.

That video really made them look good, I had heard some people really did not like them, but I'm excited anyway. So thank you, and I'll check out the review you do on them to.
