Locked Up's SCX10 II Build
 
Starting the build right now.

We will get a picture at the end of each page with some thoughts on our progress.





First thing, right out of the bag....
Frame is the same basic shape, with just a few additional holes.

And note # 1 from page one:
They mean M2x8 screws. Not M2.6x8

First little hiccup....

No matter what we do, the locker/gear assembly will not go into the housing far enough to be centered with the axle tubes. It's close, but when trying to slip a shaft in we looked down the tubes and noticed this....

Nothing.
Stock shafts will go in and it will "work" because there is play for things to move around. It is really tight on one side and loose on the other though. Over time the shaft being off will probably cause wear/fatigue which is not ideal. Will just have to see.

The real issue (for us) is that if the housing is off, and we tried to jam an OT shaft or FI spool in there... the bind could be worse and could prevent rotation.

Because the 8L fits, it means all our SLW wheels will still fit with our .185 SLW style hubs.

The stock wheels is within 1mm of the Ikari. So to keep it as close to stock as we can, we will run the wideners ... but they do look good!

With the kit, you get 2 skid plate options.

One is drilled for the old transmission.
One for the new.
http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_3999.jpg

Compared to SCX10 original skid.
Only thing I see different is the 2 added captures.

End of page 25.

Driver side frame assembled.

DO NOT forget to run your servo wire under the cover (bottom of page 25) if you are going to use it. Otherwise you will get to disassemble a few things.

When attaching the front cross member, my holes/nubs did not line up. My fix was to slice off the numbs.

I think you may have put the cross members on wrong way around. The extended one should go on the back.

Good catch!

Thanks.
Will correct that in a second.




Connecting the CMS, I noticed the drag link rod end angles max out before I want them to.
This is at rest:
http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_4016.jpg

I started to connect to the servo arm and I realized the arm I had wanted to use (for scale appearance) was going to have the draglink and track bar out of alignment.
They are aligned in the pic but that screw is not tightened.... yes the 2mm matters to me.
http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_4017.jpg

So I busted out a trusty Axial part from the stash.
The alignment looks dead on, but there is still a bit of pull on that draglink.

Rear end going in and got a surprise.

We had rotated the lock outs to hide the screws, but had to remove to put the lower end of shocks on. This is only because of how we mounted the lockouts.

The electronics box looks nice.

The screws that hold the top on are PLENTY long enough to really crank down on it.
http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_4025.jpg

On the back side you have an additional silicone gasket for the servo leads. I'm guessing you'd want to slather the extra holes with liquid electrical tape or sealant of some sort if you are not using them all.

Putting the bumpers on and that front is just begging for a Commando Winch System.

The holes lined up too....
http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_4029.jpg

I did go ahead and drill 2 holes in the bottom of the bumper to make it easier to install the screws in the bottom.
http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_4030.jpg

I do recommend slightly longer screws because the Axial bumper is thicker than the 3Racing plate/fairlead combo.

Yes. I got rid of the 3Racing fairlead because our Aluminum fairlead is just such a close match and looks great!
http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_4031.jpg

I finished it all out with our Winch Saver, Scale Winch Hook and 250lb Yellow Winch Line.

And finally the mounted shots of both the front and rear.

http://www.lockeduprc.net/misc/pictu...I/IMG_4026.jpg

On my Bomber, there is a little plastic thingy, that looks like a servo wire cutout and fits right in to the unused slot in the silicone gasket. Maybe there is something like it in the kit too. easy to miss, cause it's really tiny part.
