|  Scx10 beater #2
So I wanted to give my first scx10 I got back in 2009 a face lift. It was the first kit I bought and had the 11.4 wheelbase. I also have a love for the old iron Chevys. So I ordered a clod body and a high clearance frame from the scale shop. After starting the project I wanted to try my hand at pinching the front and rear of the body. Here we go        |

Thanks! Still have to decide if I want lights and a winch in this one Also forgot to mention earlier I swapped out shocks to dial the ride height in. Originally had the 90mm rc4wd emulsions then swapped the for 90mm gmade transitions which I set up in droop but now have the 80mm gmade transitions in droop. Really pleased with the performance of these shocks so far | |

Awesome, how close are we to running? Looking into a winch and possibly some thin steel to fab up the bumpers.

I've always like these Chevys too. Guess its because I grew up watching the Fall Guy. What happened to the SCX axles? They'd fit it a little better IMO.

I was using a bunch of left over parts. Only thing new are shocks and body. These axles were under my 2007 Chevy 1.9 that I chose to re vamp. So long story short just using what I have laying around | |
