Default EeePee's SCX-10 Camo'd Recon

Just started having fun with this.








Spektrum SR3100 receiver
Tekin B1R controller
Fantom Rhino 55 turn motor
Outrage 3S 1300 battery
Airtronics 361 servo
Hand Bros steering and 3 link kit

And a thanks to my buddy Gabe for the paint job. Paint on the inside, paint on the outside.

Super fun.

Very cool. Might have to get one of those bodys and turn it into a brushless mobile support rig.

I like the body off picture, simple and clean. I started off with mine like that, have tried a few different electronics locations but will return to the setup you have. Recon looks good, been thinking about one as a support rig. -EDIT- The rims and tires are a nice match to the overall look.

You always find the cleanest way to stuff your electronics in the smallest areas .....

Hows that B1R handling the 55T? Just wondering if one of those would handle a 35T as well in an SCX.

Looks fun, something you can bang around with. Nice job.

Had it for a couple months actually, but just got the body. Last time out, which was the first picture, I went all the way to 1 hour and 15 minutes on my DX3R clock, and decided to stop and swap the battery. Not because it was dying, but because we were going to turn around for another hour and 15 minute scaler walk back to the car.

Thanks, I honestly spend hours staring at the thing and trying differnt layouts so I can get them clean. Thanks for noticing.

Hours of staring and beer and test fits and wire gauge try outs. I don't always have much to do, so...

In a scaler, the B1R is fine with a 3S lipo and 55 turn motor, and I'm not even running an external BEC. HOWEVER!!! I've blown up a few of them before back when I was testing them out for Tekin in the 2.2 crawler. It's not a particularly strong ESC, but for a 1.9 scaler it works awesome. And with a 35 turn you're pretty safe with a 2S lipo, but again, get it bound up big time in rocks and sometimes it'll let out the fun smoke. Slipper clutch might help there.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.

looks good...I have one of those bodies I acquired in a trade, mines olive drab and a tan tarp..the guy did a pretty good job painting it.. Its kinda weird, it sits so high that it always looks like its gonna tip over when its at an angle..

Ha, Ha...me and My brother in law sat at the bottom off this huge hill and our "mission" was to get the supplies up to the top, and it was no easy climb...it was a blast. cuz about every ten feet the hill was sandbagged to control erosion run off...it was really tricky get that thing up and over all the sand bags on such a steep incline.

With sooo much room under the cab, I was thinking of strapping my video camera in there for the ride.

And it rarely tips over! My problem is I can't see the four tires cause the big block is in the way. Still awesome though.

That looks great! My recon body has been sitting here for 2 weeks - still waiting for paint. Just not enough time...
But I'll get it done next month!

It is indeed a sweet build. Does it use a Bee-E-See?
