2 hitch balls, one on top, one on a ball mount that slides in like a receiver.

http://ajsmachine.com/shop/index.php...&product_id=90

I actually made one for my scx10 with some square tubing I bent and brazed it together then used a ball end for the ball. Cost me about $2.00.

sweli · 02-14-2011, 07:47 PM

Wow! That KLH looks real! Crawlerx.net looks pretty nice too!
Can't go wrong at under $30.

What is the spread between your frame rails (sorry, I do not own an SCX, so do not know the dims)?

muddauber7 · 02-14-2011, 08:22 PM

We're working on it, gimme a minute...

Kentuckcrawlers · 02-14-2011, 10:34 PM

yeah i did like the one on crawler net..liked how you can adjust everything to your liking..to bad the are sold out..lol

ight man let me know when you get them done and the price and some pics..

Jer · 02-15-2011, 06:02 PM

the KLH looks killer. Not much for accessories for a scaler, but this one looks too real not to have, thanks for the link.

PistonHead · 07-01-2011, 12:37 AM

I used delrin and painted it black. Messed around using a piece of tubing for the stinger and a revo rod end with a bolt going up through it.

gottorque · 07-01-2011, 08:41 PM

X2.
Great fit,price and looks.

I love mine.

Sith Lord · 07-03-2011, 01:22 AM

$0.00 Cheap enough? The trash bin belonging to the shop next door to my work revealed some offcuts of Aluminium, ranging from 3 to 10mm thick so I'll be making a few things out of that. A couple of screws from my parts box and all done. I was going to buy the Dinky one, but it wouldn't have fitted with my exhaust pipes

I think it's about the right height, but my need to trim it once I finish my trailer Trailer Build (with a difference)

ARC4x4 · 07-10-2011, 03:44 PM

Nice hitch! How did you make the ball?

That may be the exact one too..... But I've also got quite a few in my kit box from the numerous Tamiya kits I've owned over the years. Quite common on most 1/10 cars (perhaps not Axial ones though)

Whats the word on the hitch, when will they be available?

stelerzman · 07-21-2011, 09:54 PM

I really hope you checked out DInky R/C, muddauber7 has a killer one. If you glance at it, you would think it's 1:1.

jetbuilder · 09-16-2011, 05:15 PM

Here's my custom hitch. It's removable just like a real hitch.

RC4WD makes a ring and pintle hitch for $25. http://store.rc4wd.com/Pintle-hook-lunette-ring_p_1086.htmlX0285.jpg[/IMG]

scrapen · 10-15-2011, 09:54 AM

Made mine with some stuff laying around the shop 1/4" key stock and a Traxxas ball end
