First scale rig "Gr33n" build
 

Been in rc for quite a bit, but finally making the plunge into the scale side of things.

I've been trolling around here for a few months now. Trying to research the ins and outs how you guys build bullet proof rigs.

What I've got so far...

SCX10 G6
Built with:
Hexcrews armor plated stainless steel hex screws
Axial rockster 2.2 wheels
Axial Ripsaw 2.2 tires
Axial hardened over/under drive axle gears
MIP splined center drive shafts
Axial hardened steel transmission gear set

Soon to come...

Tekin ROC 412 2300kv
Tekin RX8
Vanquish stage one kit on order
RC ROCK ARMOR G6 Rear Bumper on order
RC4WD 100mm KING shocks on order

So that's where I'm at as of today. Definitely looking forward to getting this thing out on some trails!

Suggestions welcome! I will be updating as I go.

Its nice but why did you put 2.2s on there? It's not very scale and it makes the truck bind. Here is all that I recommend to you:
- move the battery plate in the front
- upgrade to all steel gears in the transmission..by Robinson Racing, these axial gears suck.
- use 32p gearing
- mirror the transmission
- seriously change to 1.9s..much more suitable for this chassis, I'm telling you from experience.

Btw the over/under is too much for the truck to deal with, change it to over/normal gears, this will work better haha. Yeah also, upgrade to aluminum c-hubs, knuckles, and lockouts. Those will strip faster than you can keep them together. Good luck and if you need more help, pm me and I'll be more than glad to help.

Looks good for a first build. What motor and ESC do to plan to throw in it. My Wraith runs a Pro4 and doesn't have a problem with Axial metal gears. Pick up a Crawlerdad light bar for the front.

**edit** Stick with the 1.9s

What he said....not sure if you need to mirror the tranny unless you have torque twist worse than you can stand...everything else is golden

What? Why would you say that if you have no idea how he's gonna use his rig? OD/UD gears are not at all too much for the truck to "deal" with. Have you even tried that setup? However, I do agree with you on the 2.2's...they just don't belong.
