Yes. What length shocks would you recommend? 70mm?

That's what I have coming for my setup, but I have those black 60s just in case

I can't seem to find the gcm perches... And the sawback u bolts will work with the stock ar44 axles? What about the gmade spring perches?

The Sawback bolts fit but are wide, hence why I ordered rc4wd ones. They should get to me next week, and they come with the plates.

Just ordered a pair of the gcm perches. Now after reading the description, i dont need the u bolts?? .

What leafs would you recommend? It will have some weight in the back when i get a trailer for my yeti.

JEC racing has prototype leaf spring kits for AR44, should be available soon. Hopefully

Those seem pretty similar to the gcm ones..

Right now I know the Sawback bolts work, they're just oversize in diameter of bend, if you can wait I will let you know how the RC4WD bolts fit. Technically yes, you don't need them with the GCM perches, they're for looks as well as strength just like on a tf2

Would 80mm be to long to mount to chassis rail height you think?

To mount right to the chassis rails, yes, way too long. I'm not sure you'll find a shock that short in the crawler market, have to probably look at on road cars. The 70s work because they're leaning inward.

The RC4WD K44 U-bolts do not work. Not long enough. Shame cause they are a perfect scale diameter.

So i got the leaf springs somewhat mocked up in place for the wheelbase i need. How did you mount the rear swing shackles to the chassis.. if you could get me some pictures, that would be awesome...

I'm not sure this is going to help a whole lot, I have a Toyzuki v2 chassis in this rig, but maybe it'll get some ideas flowing nonetheless.

I've always wanted to build a leaf spring SCX10.

[BigSki]

From an old build thread of mine. It's in the 1.9 section. It took a lot of work to get the spring mount locations set correctly but its possible to cleanly convert over to leafs. This rig was going to be a C1 rig but unfortunately I got burned out and lost interest. I literally drove it 1 time on new years day of 2017, it just sits in a box, unfinished.

[wcdfmt510]

I will be starting a build thread soon..

Has anyone put leafs on the front of a scx10 ii?? Curious about the steering setup

What size screws did you use for the gcm perches

I prefer front coil spring and rear in leaf springs setup.
