Badger's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 kit build

[klampykixx]

the body is just a wraith poison spyder bodyshell.

That's what I thought

The Axial website lists the wheelbase at 12" but looking at the specs the links lengths provided equal out to a 12.3" wheelbase, but they list that the kit includes 6 of each 33mm, 98mm and 106mm.

Thats not 6 of each, that is 6mmx33mm etc.
1- 6x33mm-------steering
1- 6x106mm------steering
4- 6x98mm-------suspension links

Hey Badger, congratulation on the G6. I'm Happy for you you allready have one! I'm going to build one for my girlfriend. Hope I can get my hands on one before christmas. I plan on exchange the upper plastic links to alumium links. Could you tell me what lenght I would need? I was guessing the 7mmx87.5mm from Axial but I'm not sure. Would like to order them right along with the Jeep kit.

Or maybe you can recommend a lenght to me to get a even longer link than the stock lenght to clock the axle a bit in order of the drive shaft angle.

Many thanks!

Cheers
Rene

The rear of this looks so awkward. Where's the bumper?

I guess they are just prepping for us to make our own bumpers...saving the plastic trees.

When in doubt I would go with the manufacturers specs.

Not unless you cut out the entire interior to put it on a Wraith. I honestly haven't seen a clear body for the Wraith PS, but I would think they were different because of that.

Yes, and I think it looks great without a rear bumper, love the no over hang rear! This thing is growing on me...

Since it is using the 98mm for both front and rear lowers, you could use 98mm for the rears with the Axial four link truss and 91mm for the front with the same four link truss. You may have to add a small spacer to the 91mm front to get the adjust the length a bit.

I'm looking forward to seeing this Jeep G6 build. Personally, I couldn't help it and pulled the trigger on one this morning AND I'm still not done with my Jeep kit. On the other hand, it gives me time to decide on how I want to build it.

Parker, so glad you had a hand in bringing this Jeep G6 out. Thank you.

hmmmm you make a very good point sir.

the outer panelling is still 99% same tho, so maybe they just tweaked the mould?

is this interior the same as the Deadbolt shell maybe? ( i havent looked )

edit: similar but no cigar. (sorry for the thread jack)

How awesome would it be (& probably less costly for Axial over all) if those interiors were an interchangeable piece that bolted in with the tube frame?

[racin707]

Sweet, I've been waiting fir one if the lucky ones to get one early

Nice observation pretty much looks like the same exact interior to me.. Only difference I see is the two "boxes" molded on the deabolt body by the rear body mounts. Getting back on track tho I can't wait to see how this rig turns out badger with the way you build tho I already know it's gonna be BEAST

I really like the kit, except 3 things. First, the light bar looks like it would get hung up too much. Second, no spare tire. Third, no tow points on the back.

anyone know when they are going to release this kit to be ordered?
