| The scx10 monster truck build.
We'll, after reading up on these trucks for quite some time now I decided to build one myself. I used to love my clod buster, so I'm pretty excited about this. I'm running a scx10 chassis, ax10 chassis plates, mated to some ar60's using CPE wheel adapters. So far this is what I have! I will take more pics as I go. I started snapping pictures late into the build. |

Holy crap..that's big. How is the driveshaft going to be able to work? That sits kinda high, you may want sway bars or something.

| Re: The scx10 monster truck build. The transmission sits in the lower portion of the ax10 chassis. So it's almost like it's at a normal pitch. I'll take detailed pictures to show you. Considering the suspension is fairly tight, the track with so wide, and the trans fairly low . I think it should be decent without sway bars.

I give you a "10" for originality and another "10" for ingenuity. Hope you can get some weight down low to lower the CG, like a couple of 2S packs on each side mounted real low. Good luck with it.

| Re: The scx10 monster truck build. Thanks a lot! Great motivation, I will post more detailed pictures tonight. Unfortunately I snapped my 3mm tap I use to thread the links. So I'm sort of on hold until a new ones comes in the mail. I can't wait to do some more work to her.

Ahhhh and a Wraith skid to boot! Looks good. Looks like the moving the links in the rear did the trick. How much power you planning on throwing in there? |

| Re: The scx10 monster truck build. Yes sir! Shortening, and moving them down fixed the problem. Thanks for all the tips! Power for now will be a velineon motor, and hobbywing esc. Lol nothing special at all, But will put down decent power and spin those big tires no problem.

Ok, I am really interested in this. I am considering a Monster Truck build as well. An I am tossed between going with a Old School look with the SCX frame or more modern with the tube Wraith Chassis. Suscribed |

| Re: The scx10 monster truck build. I have always wondered how well the 1/8 scale grave digger body would fit the wraith cage.

Also my 1/10 scale Cherokee body fits over the Wraith chassis nicely, suggesting that the same would be true for the 1/10 Grave Digger body an the wraith chassis.
