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

axles getting built...

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 02:43 PM

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....

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 02:48 PM

And having fun withe the SCX10 OTVD inners...

NO, they will not fit.
The AR44 carriers are much to small.

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 02:49 PM

Front with steering linkage.

Beefy linkage.

Maybe overkill beefy linkage?

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.

Playing with the wheels while Eric builds the kit.

The original SCX10 beadlock vs the glue on SCX10 II.
Offset (not backspacing) is identical.

Original SCX10 clearance:

Our 8L clearance:

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

Eric is assembling the shocks so I get to play with wheels & tires.

Stock vs Ikari AO8™

Stock vs Ikari AO8™ with a 1.9 widener.

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!

Eric's note:
The instructions don't mention it, but if you plan on running bump stops make sure you put them in before you put the rod end on.

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 04:56 PM

Shocks done.

Opted for reservoir front and plain jane rear.

Time to open the D bag.

Highmark · 06-05-2016, 05:01 PM

Looking good! Digging the detailed pics and aftermarket tech

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 05:05 PM

Wheels done.

Recycled rings from the H2.
I like blue.

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 05:50 PM

Transmission & Transfer case done but....

"When you see it."

Oh and Axial..... you owe me one 3x18mm screw.

I am partial to LockedUp Blue myself

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 06:22 PM

Motor in.
Slipper installed....

Or is it?

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 06:30 PM

With the kit, you get 2 skid plate options.

One is drilled for the old transmission.
One for the new.

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

Locked Up · 06-05-2016, 06:40 PM

Driveshafts done.

Short is 93mm collapsed and long is 140 collapsed.

If you are looking for upgrades:
Devil RC @ Locked Up RC

Compared to previous versions.

Installed... mostly.
