My scx10 jk build
 

So I got my scx10 jk the other day and I'm trying to figure out how to go about the build. So far I used axle extensions from my slash trophy truck build and made it a little wider. Ill post some pictures when I figure that out.

Half of the extenders (I think it's the best looking)

This is what I want my scx10 to look like

Bye Bye knuckle bearings.

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

Will they really wear out that fast? Is there another way to widen my stance?

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

Wraith axles will widen it like an inch or so.

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

Wraith axles look way to wide. I wanna go scale, am I doomed to go big or go home?

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

I say order a set of fast eddie bearings and use what you got or get a large offset wheel like you do in 1:1. The last option is to get a set of vanquish slws and 475 offset hubs. Btw the way you located in VA?

About 5 miles away from the pentagon over in Alexandria not to far from la plata

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

RC Crawler Boy is right, here is what some .725 Vanquish SLW hubs look like for a wide stance..

Theres a great amount of scalers in winchester. Look up Va scaler And go to the boulder bash its SO much fun!

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

So I was looking at those OMF wheels from vanquish and is it really like $70 a wheel?

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

$207.03 Out the door. Not a cheap hobby at all.

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

Well it's gonna have to wait till the 15th. So I'm looking at getting the rigid 6" light bar for the front then solid links and a 4 link for the front. Any ideas on a company for links?

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

You could make your own or just get the 10pc set from vanquish. That way you can get steering links also. RPP BEST company out there go there, go to scx10 hop ups your mind will be blown. Get the 4link mount (what ever looks good) and links(vanquish) from them. In the upper right hand corner click coupons and use them.

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

Doesn't that still put a strain on the bearings. I don't know, just asking.

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

No because the wheel is attached where the stock hex location is. By attaching it to a hex widener like the original guy posted, you are putting the contact point/strain an additional inch out from the stock hex location

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

Is the 10 piece set from vanquish for the currie axles though? I have it with the currie axles, and I tried to put the links with the stock axles and they were the wrong lengths. I'll go check again but I thought they were listed as "Currie 10 piece link set"

Yeah i just checked. the 10 piece link set from vanquish is only for the Currie axles on the SCX 10

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

OK, thanks for the education."thumbsup"

Re: My scx10 jk build
 

Wideners, even the VP ones, still put more strain on the bearings as you are moving the entire wheel/tire out, which puts more leverage out past the bearings. They both accomplish the same thing.
