MaxstoneScaler's Maxstone SCX10 Build

[Maxstonescaler]

Hello, My name is Dillon and I live in Northern Michigan and have been into Rc for about a year now.
I have a brushless ecx circuit and I recently had a sparked interest in crawling
I was unsure where to post this as I couldn't find an exceed sub forum. But I am happy to announce
that I have bought the maxstone 10 and I am very happy with it so far.
My plans for this build are that I am planning buying the scx10 chassis
and lower links. I will also will be buying a trail honcho body. And replacing
the 2.2 tires with 1.9s. I''m kind of thinking about making it scale as possible.
As far as the truck so far, It has had my 2s lipos in it and boy is it a slow truck.
But it makes up for it in torque. I was very happy with its crawling ability.
The esc and receiver are water proof but the servo is not and
Im planning on replace it with a traxxas 2075 and possibly a metal servo horn as well.
The Gears in this truck are metal and I had no problems so far with the
diffs or trans. I did how ever have both drive shaft work there way off the
drive pins but that was fixed by simply re-torquing down the set screw.
I also change the positions of the lower links and changed them with the
shock position so the links are closer to the truck. I also removed the front and rear bumpers
and no I'm going to dremel the bumper mounts on the axle and smooth it out and jb weld it back together.
So far im happy with my crawler and I'm really growing on the crawling scene compared to my other backyard basher.

Below are some unboxing pics (Don't mind my feet)
and some crawling shots from when me and my buddy and his twin hammers went out.

























Ok So this maxstone is about to turn axial scx 10 really fast.

I just picked this up for 60 bucks on ebay, and it includes links.


Then I bought the axial 27t brushed motor, I think I'm going to
stay brushed because I never want to deal with cogging....

I should be able to use all the electronics on the SCX10 frame and
so far I am happy with the performance and waterproofing of the stock electronics.
I am also going to use the maxstone 10 axles and drive shafts and I'm going to run the 2.2 tires
for now until I can find a bead lock 1.9 rim I like.

Mods:

-Axial 27t
-Hot Racing drive shafts
-scx10 stock shocks
-Newwer Metal servo horn
-Move Battery Forward for Honcho body

nice job.
i''m looking to do same thing for the most part, for the price of the maxstone 10 I don't think u can go wrong.

keep us posted on further mods, I hope to order one of these real soon

[iDC5]

only thing I'm weary of is I see this rig runs dogbones aswell

I know on my rs10 this can be very annoying for getting good steering angle

[Maxstonescaler]

Ok snapped some shots the other day, and I also Have the 1.9s on and Got my metal lower links in.










Now 1.9s

I know this has dogbone setup but I think I'm gonna pick one up.

I like ur setup a lot.

not sure what type body yet, but I assume a knockoff scx10 chassis or similar
