| LC70 Questions
I have wanted to get the LC70 body for a while now but does it fit on the SCX10 II chassis without modification. I know the rear suspension will need altering but is that all? Thanks |

There is a mounting kit for the SCX10 ii & the LC70. It is flimsy & sets the body way up high. To get the body down, so the floor of the bed sits on the chassis rails (or close enough) you either: A: Figure a way to lose the rear shock towers (the front works just fine & the flimsiness of the body mount is minimized) & mount the shocks to the bed. B: Get a cantilever kit. C: Cut a hole in the bed to clear the rear shocks & shock towers. |

Thanks txbart I have seen the cantilever kit and it looks good so that's the way I would go. I have read somewhere that the LC70 Body wont fit the stock scx10 II chassis without modifying the motor. Does anyone know anything about this please. Thanks |

Depending on which version you have, kit or RTR the motor & transmission sits right in the middle of the cab/bed area to varying degrees. So you might have to do some cutting of the bed to accommodate the transmission. Give me a few hours & I can give you a more positive answer by comparing my Scx10 ii & LC70.

Here are some pics, My SCX10ii is a kit with the old style trans setup, like in the RTR. With the front wheel in the front wheel well & the body resting on the side plates, everything stays well within the cab. I don’t believe there would be much need to alter the body if you were to do alterations to the chassis. Good luck! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Thanks txbart the pictures are great. I have read that there is a way to reverse the transmission that means the chassis stays the same but I have searched YouTube and I can't find anyone who has posted how to do it. Thank you. |

Bowhouse makes a mount that lets you flip the motor/trans around... GCM racing has a video of one on a scx10, you can get the part from shapeways

That's very good crisdog80. I don't mind buying parts to fit to the truck but I'm not very good at making stuff from scratch. |
