|  Marc's SCXU4 Build
Hi All, Inspired by a fellow U4 racer down here with his Rock Bouncer platform Twin Hammer caged SCX10 and buying a SCX10 Slider of a mate, I built this SCXU4 for my son to race in 1.9 Trail Pro class in U4RC in Western Australia. SCX10 with a Twin Hammers Cage. It is finished now but I never had time to post the build up or photos, so over the next few days I will post a build thread Slider was built with the following parts: ALTD896 Designs Aluminium Chassis 93mm G-Made Shocks Junfac Drive Shafts Robinson Racing Steel Gear Transmission 32P Spur / Pinion Traxxas Revo Links with Jato / Revo Ends (WB is 12.5") Axial HD UD diff gears Holmes Hobbie Locker (Rear) HPI Spider gear mod in front diff with 1M oil HR CV front drive shafts Axial Aluminium Knuckles and C-Hubs Hitec 7955 Servo Below is me mocking up the Twin Hammers cage to see what's the best mounting points      |

Next Stage was mount up the Cage, I ended up pivoting at the rear, cutting the bonnet cage and fixing permanently. Roller stage was with: ALTD896 Designs Custom Beadlocks Axial 8 Hole 1.9 Wheels Pitbull 1.9 AT Growlers with 2 stage foams Vanquish SLW hubs (Track is out at 10.4")      |

Mounting the rear cage, I modified plastic servo horns for pivots. Used chassis braces and spacers to get the cage sitting right      |

Thanks rocpede, Pretty happy with the build, my son loves it Sway bars all round and lighter shock springs are the next mod to make it handle the U4RC tracks better. Cheers Marc |

| Re: Marc's SCXU4 Build
Thanks guys, My 8yo son loved the look of the Twin Hammers but I wanted him to race in a slower class to learn how to race rather then bash at the grass park. He is doing well and getting better every U4RC Australia race meet. Great bunch of people with great attitudes to match. It makes for a great social day Thanks Marc |

Thanks Screamer, hopefully with more laps on it and my son gaining more race time it should get better and quicker.
