Default building an Axial SCX10 for my son.

Hello all . i am Dean from Maple Ridge BC Canada. It has been a while since i have posted on here. I built a wheely king aka the " Bling King " a few years ago build here....My " bling king "

Then I had a son, bought a house, started a business and life got very busy. Well He is 6 this nov 20 and is constantly bugging me to take the shelf queen out, so I think it's time he has his own.

I bought a used scx10. It has some good and some bad.

the good... punisher driveshafts
metal diff gears
metal tranny gears
alum steering links
traxxas waterproof ESC
5 ch radio and reciever
rc4wd black spoked wagon wheels
aftermarket shocks

the bad... rear 4 link completely wrong
motor wired wrong
missing nuts and bolts for wheels
stock 3 link front
too heavy of springs
im sure im forgetting some other things lol!

this is what i purchased for him minus the wheels and tires i borrowed them from the Bling King until his are built. I am going 1.9 for him.



sorry i didnt take any more pics of the prebuild but you can see the rear 4 link and the short upper links where he drilled thru the frame ( blue links)

mocked up with my spare body that matches my 1:1...





i'll post pics of the what i changed when i get to my home comp tonite.

I like the paint on your 1:1. Reminds me of the A10s I used to see at the Air Shows when I was a kid.

thank you spunky

this is where I am at now. I will let him pick a body and color. I went with the tsl's 1.9 and lowered it as much as I could. I also stretched the wheelbase out. This will be a trail truck with a novice behind the " wheel " and I want the tires to hit first as he will be beating it pretty good I'm sure.



I replaced the front steering links with new ones simply because the ones that came with it were scratched and reused them for upper links.



back shot, pretty basic. I replaced the springs that were in the shocks with much softer ones, this scx flexed like a skateboard when I first got it.

the controller that came with it, I dont know anything about controllers and such so I am assuming this is a decent piece?
