| Mad Scientist IFS-SCX10 Transplant Surgery
Just wanted to post up what me and highlandcrawler were able to achieve on the IFS that can bolt on to a scx10 chassis and show it could be done simply and cheap Edit: the title does seem a bit pokey lol so i apologize for that, didnt mean to make sound like that Last edited by THX_138; 11-02-2011 at 03:14 AM. |

I'm impressed you were able to do all that with a 2mm hex wrench

you'd have to ask whoever built that. No way it was him.

Yes I made all if this with just a 2mm hex wrench........ Lol just kidding I didn't, highlandcrawler did, he contacted me and had told me he knew it wasn't as difficult as what everyone else was saying because he had done something similar with a build. Him and I talked and he could see it was pretty much straight forward and started building. It is all direct bolt on, there is no need for drilling because it uses stock holes. It is solid and strong and there is no link catching, there is full upward and downward travel. |

We need more info, what was fabbed up to do this, what parts were used (donor vehicle), better pictures of the stance as well would be nice. I like the idea a lot for scaleness for sure. |

I felt kinda bad for the guy with the beating he was taking in his other thread lol. He was just having problem conveying what he was trying to achieve. This setup lets him go from a stock running honcho for example and within a hour and no mods to anything he can have the slash 4x4 front under it for a different kind of driving. Think crawl all week then bolt on the ifs and brushless and hit the dunes for the weekend kind of thing Quote:

Ya I can't thank you enough highlandcrawler, when everyone else was bashing saying it was to hard and to expensive, you saw it was simple just like me, To violator: if you ever read this, I would like to show you that this isn't some stupid idea that anyone can just think of. so you can take your car that fly's and transforms in to a brief case idea and shove it! Lol but to everyone else, just got to think outside the box. |

well good for you, hats off to highlandcrawler. but do ya think that poking and jabbing is a nice way to do it. Now. I see there is some fab work in there. The question is 1. How practicle is it. I would like to see it from underneath 2. how well does it work? |

And the fab work is little, highlandcrawler was persistent at keeping me updated and showing the mock up and all that. From the pics he's showing and what I've seen, the skid for the ifs should be at the same level as the skid on the chassis I believe. He says it's solid, he was testing it out with a 4s mamba max pro and it was solid and since I'm only doing 3s I think I'm good lol | |

Tapatalk won't allow me to change the thread title so I just edited the post. When I typed it I was thinking and hearing like a mad scientist laugh would sound like, so no poking just do think of a mad or crazy scientist laughing and you see why I typed it that way lol. Highlandcrawler, did you get the money yet? Last edited by demonoid369; 10-12-2011 at 06:42 PM. |

this is an impressive bit of garage tech engineering I'd like to see the same treatment for the rear axle...it'd make for a nice high speed desert rig/crawler.

| And that is one of the many builds I had talked to him about that this could make more possible, for price, I'd say ask him. The price I paid seems reasonable but I don't know if he'll change it.
