RCCrawler Forums - Another 1/6 SS truck

Hi every one. Ok where to start i picked up my 4th Ss truck fom a guy on Facebook as a runner as a bind and drive. Well when the truck was delivered by USPS as usual they had been rough with the package and somehow damaged the front suspension linkages in the truck. So i set it to the side to be worked on at a later time as I had a lot on my plate at the time.

The trucks set up the day it arrived.

After receiving the truck and repairing the front links. I just did not care for the way that the body and interior tub set on the chassis that came with the truck. The motor that was in the truck would also be around 100 degrees after about 30 seconds of driving. I had to do something about this. This is something I would not have taken out on the trail.

Well this is what i did I first started by swapping in a 35 turn brushed motor. This helped with the heat issue. Now it was time to work on the body and Chassis. I went to my local hardware store and picked up some aluminum rail I believe it was 1/2 half inch by 1/2 inch c channel. I cut the C Channel long enough to used the very front Factory body mount. For the rear of the chassis i used the in side of the bed floor to mount the rear of the body. I took and cut the front and rear off of the original chassis discarded them leaving just the center section. I then built a frame in the very top of the old the chassis. I used axial scx10 rear shock mounts in all four corners to mount the shocks to the frame . The rear shock hoops also double as the rear body mount. I used axial 6x91mm threaded tube to link the shock towers together and this is what I come up with for frame.

I swaped in a new set of axles from my bomber. I also took traxxas e revo Center Drive Shafts and a set of SCX10 mip drive shafts swap some parts around and made MIP drive shaft. I used traxxas e revo rod ends and some 3/16 threaded rod and some water cooler plastic line to make my 4 Link bars for the suspension. I started out using a set of Axial Wraith shocks but did not care for how soft the Springs were. I swapped in a set of Axial Yeti shocks to get a little bit more links but yet the shocks were still a little too soft I swapped in the upgraded Blue Spring and that fixed my issues after adding a rr10 swaybar to the rear of the chassis
