| Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
Used the string method to cut the plastic. Worked pretty well, just have to take your time and keep the string from heating up. mojaveSCX10_bobbedBed1 by ethernectar, on Flickr mojaveSCX10_bobbedBed2 by ethernectar, on Flickr Plus some new beadlocks and tires. mojaveSCX10_newShoes by ethernectar, on Flickr Finished paint - 80's style mojaveSCX10_paint by ethernectar, on Flickr Botched painted lettering - tried to peel the mask too soon. mojaveSCX10_tailgateFail by ethernectar, on Flickr Bed tie-downs mojaveSCX10_bedTiedown by ethernectar, on Flickr And bungee mojaveSCX10_bedBungees by ethernectar, on Flickr Loaded mojaveSCX10_bedLoaded1 by ethernectar, on Flickr Lights with the mini-deans plugs mojaveSCX10_lighting by ethernectar, on Flickr Inboard shock mount and new proline scaler shocks mojaveSCX10_shockRelocation by ethernectar, on Flickr Body mounted mojaveSCX10_mounted by ethernectar, on Flickr Lit up mojaveSCX10_lights by ethernectar, on Flickr Agent Smith and Nemo outOfBodyExperience by ethernectar, on Flickr Wide stance and ready to roll mojaveSCX10_wideTrack by ethernectar, on Flickr |

Did you widen the stance at all or do the tires stick out that much with that body?? Im thinking of doing a Hilux body on mine but if the tires stick out that much...im not so sure about it anymore....

| Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10 I ordered hubs with too much offset, but probably going to run it this way for a bit.

This looks great, I love the paint as well. I don't know how hard it would be with that body but adding some wheel wells would make it look even better than it already does.

| Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10 Yep, they were just $50 more than i wanted to spend at the time. Its got a few other issues to resolve as well. Notably sliders need to be positioned differently and i'm not 100% the body mounting is secure enough.

I did not know that wheel wells were part of the kit and that is pretty expensive for them, I thought that it was something that you could/had to make. Please don't think I was bashing on it, your truck looks great!

Time for an update. I've had this out several times and the paint shows it. It rode pretty tall and a bit too wide for scale, so it was time for mild update/rebuild. I recently tried brazing and enjoyed both the process and results so decided to add some nerf bars b/w the sliders and the bumper while I moved to a smaller offset hub and dropped the body mounting position. Here it is, a bit too tall and wide: IMG_1332 by ethernectar, on Flickr IMG_1328 by ethernectar, on Flickr And here's some pics from the brazing update...
