Re: Scx10ii based Toyota lc70 build
 

Love the LC70, bummer about the paint, at least it can be re-done. Keep the body as low as possible and tires at or under 4.19", Berserkers have been great for me.

RE 3d printed frame rail extensions are cool, but Ascender frames are adjustable length, quite strong and might just fit perfectly. :)

Re: Scx10ii based Toyota lc70 build
 

Got an update but unfortunately no pics at the moment.

As I mentioned before I was going to paint this thing orange but the paint turned out absolutely terrible. After sanding the bulk of the body and bed I resprayed it with tamiya primer than then mica red. Then I painted inside the engine bay, hood, behind the grill and inside the bed with flat black. After getting to look at the body, it still turned out terrible but it’s good enough that I can live with it.

On to assembly! I was able to get the hood hinge kit installed and it works really well! Unfortunately i miss placed the locking mechanism but it doesnt appear to really be needed. I would recommend this kit!

Then I started doing the hinged doors...... they are crap! The door panels fit but then when you close the door it sits all funy looking. With the window up or down it looks like crap! It doesn’t go up or down straight. So needless to say I cut the interior door side in half on the passenger side and glued the driver side shut. Then I got to the locking mechanism, which works so good that it’s absolutely pointless getting. When in the position that should lock the door, the door can just open up like the lock isn’t even there
