Today was aggravating at times. The VVDs I ordered were for an XR10. It's the only thing they had in stock so I was just gonna reaching them to fit the SCX width. Not the case. I didn't realize that the stubs are different length on the Scx and so I ruined a set of VVDs. Not completely though, I turned them into short side Wraith shafts, so I have spares now.
I ended up turning down some old style Locked Up RC scale hubs into SLW compatible versions.
The I ended up using the .600 VP hubs to give the scale hubs the proper look when installed.
That's what I have been trying to explain as far as using wide hubs instead of custom width axle cases. With the smaller VP hubs, the scale hubs will stick out far and look goofy.
Here is a look at the difference between a stock Rigid light bar and one with the scale light Freqeskinz sticker on.
Got the rear shocks limited internally and an external bump stop, along with the VP shock hoops.
I also added 0-80 hardware to my door handles as I don't trust the glue and dang sure don't want to lose one of the sweet 3d handles from Krawler Konceptz.
Next I went about installing the Dinky RC front light/radiator core kit. Since my body was already painted(inside and out), I went about it a little different. I used Axial lenses and made a hole with 2 small slots for the lenses to set in.
Here are all 4 lenses installed
Next I installed the led clips and painted the radiator portion silver.
Then I took my Dremel(with a bent mandrel) and opened up the grill slots best I could to reveal the full package installed. I used double sides tape for installation.
