After receiving this great rig I tore it down and redid the suspension which I post later about. After a adjusting a few things and putting in a Rockstar 530 brushed motor and stock axial ae2 in it ran great. Not much wheel speed but enough to get over everything I was aiming for. I started the 6x6 with the GMC body, well with the bed it just didn't look right with the extra on the back end. |

Well after running it at the Diablo Crawlers New Years bash I relised that I needed more wheel spin and better looking body that will fit the chassis. So I have seen the 1979 Ford body around and fell for it. I havent ran it besides on my waterfall in the backyard but it does pretty good. So new upgrades: Brushless motor: Roc412, Pro 4 HD, etc Wheels: CNC Custom Wheels is who I am going to for some down right sweet wheels that no one has. Tires: Maybe Proline Super Swampers or cut the CI Deuces Wild foams as they dont have enough give when hitting the rocks. Under construction front axle: XR Mod with some brass inner axles and universals. |

What did you used for cross braces, do you have some pictures of the chassis, more complete (with crossbraces, electronics, battery etc.). I just received mine RCX chassis and love the quality, however the scx10 chassis, has a curve in them so the space between the two rails are smaller on the outside. The RCX chassis are flat. That's why it has the same width overal. |

Oh sorry i understand it now. By using 70mm links you gain the same width as stock SCX10. And rails just bent like that way?
