OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Not given myself any treats at all for quite a few months, so figured I deserved one. I missed my SCX10 D90 that I built, so decided to go for another SCX10 but this time keep the lexan shell and keep the stock wheelbase, to hopefully help it crawl a bit better and just generally handle nicer. Helps make up for my driving :lmao: http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps57afade9.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps63b069f3.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9045c065.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psdd2070fe.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps51d9a596.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps944a32d2.jpg First of the hop ups arrived :P http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9a3cecaa.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps259cc12b.jpg I don't usually take any pride in lexan shells, they usually go plain black or a plain single colour and that's it, basically bought to smash and protect the electrics... But this one I took a bit more time and care and really like how it came out. http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psa3fbbbf7.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psa880c609.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psf47bca34.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps054fcd19.jpg After finishing the initial build, I set about adding some of my own touches. Firstly, I made some scale bungee's. http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psd865a277.jpg Then I wanted some netting to the rear as it looked a bit plain in my opinion, I'm not a huge fan of panels, so some kind of net effect seemed the best way to go, but instead of mesh or tights or similar, I didn't want perfect square holes, so I hunted around and found some old non slip mat stuff and set about cutting and hot glue gunning :D http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9e588ed1.jpg I liked the first bit, so I carried on http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...pse417be7e.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps330749ba.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps28cab86b.jpg And that's were I'm up to now basically. I have some bits on the way, so it's just the million year wait for the postie knocking! :D |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 We got a F1 thread here, if you care. |

Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 F1, Formula 1. Like the stack of games your flexing out on. |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Looking real good.The blue looks great! |

I'll take a look, I'm more into just the gaming side of it than actual F1 racing to be honest. Quote:
Received my BEC today also, set at a steady 6v, servo works nicely, and no brown out now, so I'm very happy, it's all working. Just need to work on the steering angle now, it's pretty bad otherwise the dog bones start binding. Need to do some investigating on the best route to go. |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 I'm using Vanquish zero Ackerman knuckles and Axial CVDs with great results. I had to make a longer tie rod and drag link but its a small price to pay for more steering. |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Please let us know how that Boom Racing stuff works out. Their tranny kit looks like a killer deal if it'll hold up. May I suggest you lower the body down as far as possible. You'd be surprised how much better it works, just trim the body where it rubs. |

I'll be sure to report on the Boom Racing stuff, I quite like being the first 'public' person to test certain products, I've not seen anyone else use these particular parts, although I'm sure theirs plenty that have, so it'll be interesting to put them through their paces :) |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Well we did indeed get out... Almost 3 hours from each battery and that put them both to 3.8v per cell, so could easily have 3 1/2 hours from the packs, mine are 1,000mAh bigger but my motor is a bit faster, so they end up lasting the exact same time. No breakages, apart from a LiPo buzzer, but I was hitting the puddles and mud hard, absolutely loving it! No video as of yet I'm afraid, I did manage to snap a few pictures on the way round though, hope you like! :) http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psa1e8aa91.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps60a747be.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4c24c68a.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psba82de91.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps23df0697.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps30b91b0f.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps88dd786d.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps92862d5d.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps44dcc671.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psf061763c.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3970b29a.jpg |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Ohh no, a casualty... Lost bodyclip lol! Made some nice chains to keep them together, also be quicker getting the rears off now as well. And just to show it did actually get dirty today, can't really tell in the other pictures... http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psd21c5185.jpg |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Well I decided to go in a bit more of a different way with this... The initial plan was to make it look quite scale, but I realise it simply isn't ever going to be a scaler, I want it to be good off road, not necessarily look as good as possible off road, so... I've chopped the front arches and cut away a small portion of the rear to bring the body right down. I also think this looks better and looks slightly more aggressive. I also have another plan for the cage, but one thing at a time... :P http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psce3449d0.jpg |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 You should be able to lower the body morn than that. I've got mine to the point where the grill sits just below the top of the bumper. Body posts are slammed all the way down. I don't run the spur gear cover which helps. I also had to heat the body where the spur rubbed it to clear just by a millimeter or two. |

The rear is already all the way round, I may take the front down one more, but need to wait for my bumper to arrive to hook up the winch and so on to see how I want it to sit :) Thanks for the tip on heating it up a little, not a bad idea :D |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Bit more progress after we got back from a little run this afternoon, got my bumpers from Gaz this morning, so set about fitting them this evening. Absolutely EXACTLY what I wanted, both front and rear, got it spot on, I went with a very specific design and size, for many reasons. Also got my land anchor attached to the winch 'rope' and bolted the winch onto the front bumper. Overall, I'm happy, I also fit some +6mm offset hubs, which have really made a good difference, and I've put 20g in each rear wheels and 40g in each front, along with fitting a new set of Boom Racing shocks, which I'm very pleased with, currently on a droop set up and I like them a lot, more suits my driving style and 'needs' than sprung! I just need to figure out a secure but easily removable place for the LiPo to go now. Once that's figured out, she's basically done, other than tyres, which will come at a later date, plus maybe a few accessories on the back. http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps57af7a05.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps239555b3.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5c9dec7b.jpg Comments/input very welcome :) |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 Small update, I made a little box for my small LiPo that powers the winch, up front, out of the way, also got it painted and mounted. I also made some front inner fenders to help keep the water and dirt out, I also think it adds a small bit of scale, even though this will never be a 'scaler' it looks quite good I think :) http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9056d6cc.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps38ee7c09.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps123e7b3a.jpg |
Re: OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 So I haven't had this out for a proper run for a little while which is a shame, it's such a fun rig to drive and abuse, I was pretty wound up this morning in a dispute with Wheelspin Models, so anyway, I decided this would get a thrashing today :) Glad I did, I had almost forgotten exactly how fun this is. I simply love it, getting wet, muddy and generally hoonin'! Towards the end when going through the deeper water, I lost steering one way, would go full lock left and nothing right. Picked it up gave it a few drops from about 2ft, hit the throttle... Perfect lol, got to love it when it's just mud or a stone stuck and not an electrical gremlin. Got some pictures along the way of course... So, enjoy :) http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psx3lybnxz.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...pswq9vptup.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psxmdcahh2.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psxptqvfkg.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psutzrqju7.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psm86b7wni.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...pscvj3sg87.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psz4mzsruf.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...pslglwlwru.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psgqq9c5w2.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...pszvrftdqp.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psmhbdjgr2.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psez8acsu0.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...pskadznm1u.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psbun8tvqg.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psrjznzamj.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psifx5ccxf.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psls6s8kff.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psmzybgvbs.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psqq0orkox.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psz2bkvfcd.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psn73ldhnz.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psesrc4ynx.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psjhh62oxn.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psw3eplw48.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1svbhrpg.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps48ika9al.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psul37fvvn.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psrxje680m.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps39pfpfym.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...pszlmexbo7.jpg http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...psifgosi0y.jpg |
