I followed bender in some aspects. The SCX10 is a great platform for a Foff. Especially if you are leaning towards a scaler appearence type build.  DRV KRAWLER FOFF'en Formula Offroad |

Search around in this section I think at least half the builds are based on your current set up. This is is the simplest format, Its basic bolt on parts, shorter shocks, some paddles, and a fast motor/speed control nothing to it. Or if you have the ability and desire build your own chassis and components, There's no right or wrong. |

Technically all you'd have to do is mount up a set of sand paddles and a fast motor and bam, FOFF. If you want it to perform better though there's a lot more you can do from that point.

You'll need to beef up the drive train to handle the brushless motor power. A slipper clutch will help... although I haven't installed mine yet  |

What exactly is the difference between a crawler and FOFF? Can any crawler be converted? If so, what are the ideal parts to be swapped? Thanks |

For the smaller shocks would you put the GTR 1/16 E-REVO ones on it

I am running the GTR 1/10 E-Revo ones. Perfect size for this set up. Pssst, don't forget to get softer springs. Look to the Jato. DRV KRAWLER FOFF'en Formula Offroad | |

Formula Offroad : paddles, lots of power. As you drive you will find the improvements you want. There is more than one way to build it. Let it evolve (?) Evan |
