Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...usa/Harley.png https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...9ec61a44460f73 $50 / Week Time for a new series! This is going to be another "Budget Build" but not in the typical use of the phrase. Instead of the cheapest parts, I set a specific budget and upgrade the truck with that amount every week. I've used this format before, when the Poison Spyder Wraith was released, and it was hugely sucessful in terms of views, interaction and feedback. So we start again! This Budget Build will be done with the same dollar amount as I used before, $50 a week. Anything that doesn't get spent that week, carries over to the next week. Now that amount is high for a lot of people, but it's not like anyone would have to do the upgrades weekly. I just do it to keep the build moving and keep it interesting. It really adds up and soon the truck turns into something pretty cool. Videos will be posted every THURSDAY. The first one will be tonight/tomorrow and will simply be an introduction in to the build. No mods as of yet. I'll use this thread to keep all the info in one place! I'll track prices, keep the videos all in one place, and discuss what the future plans are to come. |

Re: Harley's SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build Followed the PS wraith build, looking forward to seeing the progression of this build! |
Re: Harley's SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build Loved your last series,subbed here,really anxious to watch this one (especially with 1 new/stock SCX10 in the fleet and thinking of buying another :mrgreen:) "thumbsup" |
Re: Harley's SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build The PS Wraith build was cool, I look forward to seeing where this ends up. Do you have an idea of what this truck is going to be (trail, rocks, G6, all-purpose truck) or just going to see how it unfolds during the build? |

Re: Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build Following as my SCX-WRAITH build is on |
Re: Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build how many weeks will determine this budget build's spending limit ? 52 weeks in a year = $ 2,600. spent. where's the budget in that ? Lol I'll still follow... despite my sarcasm ;-) |

Like I said, nowhere in the description do I say I'm trying to keep it cheap. The purpose is just to determine a path of upgrades that hopefully keeps the truck dependable the entire time while making it as capable as possible during that same time period. |
Re: Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build Suscribed, I will follow this close. I have ordered mine 2 weeks ago. Should have been here about a week ago......... |

Re: Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build I like the idea, I spend about $50 every two weeks, as my budget. Definitely makes for slow building. |
Re: Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build Awesome! I was just re-watching some of the PS wraith budget videos and wishing there was something similar for the SCX10! |
Re: Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build are you staring with a kit or rtr? |

Re: Harley's $50 SCX10 Deadbolt Budget Build Looks Interesting, I enjoyed following the Poison Spyder Wraith so the SCX Deadbolt should be cool. |
