advise needed for SCX10 ii upgrade bits! back in RC after 15 years!

[skippa]

Hey Guys! as the title says its been a LONG time since I've had a crawler, in fact when I was last into it the "Mudcow" clod was the BEST thing ever lol (I can't even find its videos or pics anymore :(. I still have my old clod in bits in a box from back in the days before Axial started making their cool gear. I have been a member on this forum for many many years also and managed to remember my username and p/w first try lol. Now I have 2 friends who are right into it and I've finally managed to convince the boss to allow me to purchase a rig! So happy to have chosen the SCX10 ii to come back with. I got myself a rtr kit as I don't have any 2.4g receiver gear and the 3 channel one that came with the rtr should be good for a spare once I upgrade latter on. Anyways Upgrades..

I am thinking of getting the following in this order, any extra ideas or advise welcome!

Stainless Screw set:
one run and I already have rust! mind you it was raining and I was following a creek lol.

Alloy Rims:
I want something like these but in chrome to match my 1:1 rig
Hot Racing Axial SCX-10 II RC Car upgrades and Hop-ups

Tyres:
1.9 KLR silvers (if I ever find them in stock!). Although I do like the look of Axial's BFGoodrich Krawler™ T/A® KX tyres. Love the height of the stock ones.

shocks:
RC4WD King Off-Road Dual Spring Shocks (100mm) I like the idea of a little extra travel from 100mm shocks, and I hate the look of fake Reservoirs.

Axial wheel wells:
basically for easier cleaning after a run lol will look for cheaper options for a bit b4 forking out for the real deal.

Motor / ESC:
Im happy with the stock for now, seams to go very well! but would love to go brushless but has to be water proof. this is a bit $$ to come too soon but thinking holmes hobbies combo of some sorts plus a couple of different pinion gears.

anything you guys think I should look at before this? experience or ideas please!!

and below my rig sitting on a set of my mates Losi tyres, 10 min walk from home!!

that.... 10 minutes walk from home? Tell me, how could you have stayed away from the hobby for this long with that sort of scenery!

As to your questions, only thing I can really comment on (new to the hobby myself) is the wheel wells. I just cut up some throwaway salad containers for wheel wells. Slap on some paint, and you have them for free (just a few hours sunk in).

Here are the results from my SCX10-2

I did beef tube axle housing in mine. The stovk housing was 0.70 oz the beef tube housing is 1.30oz
I also did aluminum wheels, beef patties, crawler Innovations foams with Voodoo KLR tiresl. My power system is a mamba max pro and a tekin pro4 4600kv

Awesome! may have to look into those tubes Green Goblin!

IVIaarten, we have only just moved to this place state forrest behind us with my own private gate ;) Its part of what I used to convince the minister for finance to let me get one hehe. Thanks for the pic of your wells! I will just have to keep my eyes open for the right sort of cheap plastic bowls!
