Sweet. So scale. Just like a real Scout.

Reconfiguring the shocks & springs for some droop will provide a similar stance, as will installing adapters at the top of the shock towers to move the upper shock mounts up by roughly 10mm.

But I won't say that a set of nice aluminum SCX10 style axles under the truck wouldn't be sweet too.

Sort of? The tire size is still massive compared to a stock Scout tire, so any real Scout that had tires this size would have some pretty significant lift.

Except not since the leaf springs are missing!

Maybe somebody will make a portal delete kit, like SSD makes for the TRX-4, if this truck gains popularity.
