Default Crawler505's scx10 II build

It's been about a year since my last built. I got a 1:1 Rubicon that I have been building which has taken all my attention. Finally picked up the kit with a few extras.





Here we go!

For some reason I like getting the wheels and tires mounted up first.

Looks like a great start to an awesome build! Do you think the SCX10 II would be a good first crawler for someone who's a newb to crawling but not RC? Thanks!

Yes I do. Axial makes a great product and easy to follow instructions.

You get all those high dollar parts but you end up with a Tactic rx/tx setup and servo? WHY?

Haha. Good question. All the electronics I have had for awhile. I plan on building a second rig with my two daughters, from the left over parts from this one that I will eventually put those in. Since I had them already I figured I would use them for now.

Got the axles done. Had to file down the left knuckle a tad so I could get full lock.

Glad to see you using the stock axial bfg's on some new shoes, they are quite capable. With the addition of the CI foams I bet it will really wake them up.

Links are done. I almost got the Incision links but glad I went with the stock ones. They look beefy.

Tranny and transfer case time. Love the look of the Vanquish Atlas!

Got the chassis all tighten up. It's starting to take some shape.

Now it's time for the shocks. Fingers crossed they don't leak.

Will it be your final setup for the esc-motor combo?

For now the axial 35t and AE-5. Once I start building a second rig with my kids I will move all electronics from this over to that and go with with a Holmes stubby and probably a mamba max. I have a similar set on my bomber. But if anyone has other suggestions I'm open for suggestions.

Shocks are done. Anyone know why Axial didn't go with a dual spring setup?
