Now that's what i like to hear. My SCX10 handled ok and the Wraith is great but its so wide. This rig should go good in tight places, and i kept the weight way down on this build.

Looks good.How far will it flex before the tires hit the shocks and/or cage?

Yes, looks like yuo may need to move shock mounts outboard a little?

Are axles the only thing needed to do this? I can make my own shock mounts and links. I think it looks way more scale with the narrow stance. Might end up on it's lid more often but that's fine with me.

You may be right about moving the shocks. So far the tires don't hit anything. It has about 45 degrees flex and that should be enough. My AX10 has about 130 and its to much flex. I well just have to play with it and work out the bugs. And yes the AX10 SCX10 axle's and links bolted on with very little work.

It would be almost perfect scale wise if the shocks were mounted up another 1/2", but with that servo stuck in there, I can see it being a pain to lower the ride height to a more scale look.

OK i lowered the front end and built a aluminum floor pan and back plate. I have some 1.9 pit bulls i might try. I really like the big tire look so i don't know if the 1.9 well work for me. I found out i can't use the side panels so i am going to only have panels on the door opening and bend around in front of the rear tires. I am using 045 sheet aluminum and have one done. I well post picture of them when done.
