Due to weather and having completed the build only yesterday, this is the only chance I've had to run my SCX10...crawling over my Nitro TC3+.

Haa nice job. I dont think you missed a spot on the TC3. How are you liking it so far? Been thinking I want one.

hahaha...funny. Blue looks good on the scx.

Thanks

So far I'm really liking it but haven't been able to hit the rocks yet. :( I cleaned up the electronics, shortened and re-soldered the motor leads, shortened the battery tray posts to about half what they used to be to lower the CG (servo is maybe 1-2mm when fully flexed. It will hit if both sides are fully compressed but that's not an issue), added some lead weights to the rear crossmember...

I need to trim the fenders a LITTLE more, I raised the body posts some to help with rubbing without looking too stupid. Also trimmed the unused posts on the rear axle and removed the stops from the shocks (As well as cracking them open and compressing them to make sure I get the most travel out of them).

The body and paint job will do for now, it was my first time doing it on my own and it's not pretty enough to worry about bashing it.

Eventually I'd like to get a nice Bronco body for it.

Hope to have some video of it actually crawling on the rocks soon!
