So I switched things up a bit. Switched out axles with open diff Wheeky Kings, I wanted to run open diffs and the scx10ii axles didn't give me that option. (Got those up for sake in the classifieds btw) Added rear sway bar. I gained some height. Also gained track width...but too much to look weird. Need to fine tune some link lengths, etc. But first run it's pretty smooth. I like it.

how is steering now? Steering looks to be infront of drag link now. What servo horn is that? What shock oil and springs are you running?

Steers really good actually, hot racing, just 30 wt. With the stiffest springs. Mud trucks do better super stiff in my opinion. This is just a basher though. Atleast I can run open or locked diffs now. Super fun so far

Looks like a ton o fun, latest wheels/tires or Cenracing Hl150 MT tires on her. BPC makes nice stuff, the servo on axle plate looks beefy and nice n snug fit, would be nice if SCX10II axles had open diff option, but the HPI's were pretty strong when I ran them.

Yeah its actually a lot more fun now. I'm keeping these Flingkings on her. I'm not sure who made this servo mount on the WK axles. I like the bigger gears on these anyway. Trying to sell my scx10ii axles but nobody wants them, lol. And yeah I've never had any problems with the WK axles just scale bashing and jumping.

Made some front upper links to adjust the driveshaft angle some. I took out the Reedy short course brushless system. Dropped a cheap brushed 20t with a 17t pinion in it that I had lying around. Never would have thought it but it's way more fun. More "scale speed" I guess. Also robbed my lockedup rc rear lockouts from my WK and threw on some Alum hubs and knuckles.

Some pics of the changes. Next I'm going to configure the battery to the center or flat down in the front like the original scx10.
