Mega/Mud Truck Build
 

Thought I would start a thread on my new build. Axial scx10ii builders kit
Strc chassis lift kit
120mm Desert Lizard shocks
Jconcepts Fling King Tires
Jconcepts 79 Ford body

Still need to fab up sway bars, and servo on axle mount. Steering really isn't a big deal so I am shooting around the idea of steering like the original Wheely King or the new Cen Rc MT. I like the look of the hidden servo. Still a lot to do, very early stages.

Nice man, I like that truck.

Re: Mega/Mud Truck Build
 

Good lookin truck u got there! Wats your wheelbase? I like that body, but it said it was 11" wb i think. So i went with the supercab for the 12.3" wb. But the supercab is a tad longer than 12.3"

I just looked and there lift kit doesnt saw gen ii? So does it work on both gen 1 and 2?

Re: Mega/Mud Truck Build
 

Its 11.4 wheelbase. It works. Cool thing about mega trucks and monster trucks the wheelbase doesn't need to match the body. This one is really close though.

Gen 1 and 2 share the same chassis

Looks great!
I may have to go this route with my old Proline Blazer body.

Grabbed a BPC axle servo mount. (Got the different axle housing on the way) although it fits tight without the front screws in. I added a couple zip ties for insurance but honestly it survived a major bash session with no problems. Also these wheely king tires perform flawlessly with the stiff suspension set up I'm running. 0 torque steer running Reedy 3500kv brushless setup. This thing is fun to drive. #jconcepts #megatruck #mudtruck #scx10ii #axial #wheelyking #hpi #https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1e0da97fec.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f2e7459404.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a2c988b45d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8e3be4133e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a131a83a32.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...be8fee02c9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9f06e31736.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e9c88781d1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f740f06c47.jpg

Hell ya man. Gotta love those old fords, keep it up

Re: Mega/Mud Truck Build
 

Looking good! Have you thought about how cable-driven steering might work on one of these? I see you already went with an axle-mounted servo so this is more of a general question based on your original thoughts about doing a hidden servo.

Re: Mega/Mud Truck Build
 

Thanx, it would be a similar steering setup to the wheely king or the new Cen racing trucks. No cables, just links. Also like the Clodbuster.

Did you put a spacer in the rear between the axial chassi and the aluminum lift kit? I am getting mine together and looks like one of the spacers provided in lift kit will fit in between there.

I'm not following what your asking

Through the Cenracing Hl150 MT tires on her. These are 5" tall, same as WK. Gonna grab a set I think they look perfect.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ad37381a9a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e6ab8b822.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6e24459f88.jpg

Re: Mega/Mud Truck Build
 

Was asking if you used a spacer between axial steel chassi and the lift kit on the ends. Since the axial chassi has a curve to it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6ee995890d.jpg

Re: Mega/Mud Truck Build
 

Oh gotcha, nah I didnt worry about that. Just bolted them together pulling in the lift plate to match curve.
