Tamiya Hilux body on SCX 10 Honcho

[CrawlinClodKiller]

Well holy crap. I tried to search it myself just now. I am good at finding stuff and I can't easily find builds with pics and explanations. I think this is one time that use the search function does not apply.

I make lots of hilux bolt on kits...check my link in signature and vendors section for more hilux kits. I am sure you can get some good ideas from my pics. Hope that helps.

Offcourse Ive seen that everyone has it, but I havent seen a thread where someone actually show what they have changed and how they did it.

But instead of making comments with no use, why cant you either tell me how to, or give me a link that shows me how to?

WELL PUT, josruu

see I've always seen this and know how to use the sliders as a holding point but the random question that always popped in my head was mounting it???? the body curves on the outside so how does the screws hold on? do they just stick out on the bottom side or is there a trick that I'm not seeing? the reason I'm asking is because this was the route I'm going but just wasnt sure if its how it works

Did you search?




Just kidding

Not sure what you are asking...is this a question about my brackets or MG200's tubework?

[demonoid369]

yes I searched, ya I'm talking about your bracket, I've seen others like yours and wondering how the screws fit. Could you show a close up pic of the bracket with the body on? Because the way it looks, if the screw is being put in from the outside, the screw would stick out a bit because the body is curved

[C*H*U*D]

I'll take some tonight, but the holes are countersunk a bit on the body, so the screw head sits recessed a bit from the body line.

CrawlinClodKiller: Not easy at all to find good pics of it.
But thanks to all the good answers and pics being posted here I think I have a clue on how Im going to do it.
And when Im done with it Im gonna take pics of it and make a own thread here

hopefully I get the body by end of next week since the easter make the whole world stop for a few days...They should know that we cant wait for RC parts!!
