| Updates on my SCX10.........
I've been driving the SCX10 pretty much stock for about a month now, and it's been awesome. But, I figured it was time to start making a few custom mods. First thing I did was re-locate the steering servo from the front axle to the chassis with a couple home made brackets that tie into the stock frame cross members. I was just able to shoe horn it in underneath the battery tray out front and get very minimal bump steer. It took a few tries to get the placement right, but it seems to be working pretty good from the couple small test runs I've got on it. I also cut the servo plate posts off the front axle to clean it up and give it a more realistic look. I also plan on cutting the posts off the rear axle as well.

| Thanks. Next up was figuring out what body to run. Since I'm going to go for the pre-runner look on this particular build our Diablo body (Part # AX4002) was a prefect fit. The wheels are perfectly centered in the wheel wells without any mods to the stock SCX10 wheelbase. |

Sawheat! After watching the SCX build yesterday, I'm thinking I want a goat system. So Brad, can you make any comment on the hinted at new axial shocks that are coming soon? |

Looks sweet Brad! Which compound tires are you running? Prototype G8's or the M2's? I am curious how they compare.

Nice job Brad. You always did like those huge bodies on your scalers. |

Can't have a pre-runner without some spare tires. |

So are you going to do some cage work on this thing? Welded or brazed right to the c-channel?

If I can make the comp, this will be the rig I run. I'm guessing there will be a bunch of SCX10's there this year. Quote:

To hold the rear tires in place I used a red 98mm link, and drilled/tapped an M3 hole at each end. I opened up the holes in the center of the wheels to .236 diameter which allow the link to slide through. Then drilled a couple holes in the body that are used to attach the link to the body. |
