Hi everyone!
So, I bought the Axial Base Camp accessory set (AXI-1486) and I want to install it on my SCX10 2 Honcho, since it is the only rig I have (minus the comp trucks) without these details.
So, number one, I chickened out for some days. I used some thick plastic to:
1. Tap holes in it
2. Put the accessory piece in said holes
3. Mark the contour of the accessory piece on the transparent foil
4. Remove accessory piece and cut around the marked contour
5. Use the cutout as a template, place it on the body
6. Use accessory piece to proof that the position is correct
7. Mark holes with marker
8. Check 10000 times
9. Say "I'll do it tomorrow"
10. Check width of accessory piece pins, with a caliper, then take note of where the body reamer will need to pretty much stop reaming
11. Eventually take the body reamer (NO DRILL) and start reaming
12. Throw up from stress and PTSD
13. Realize it came out amazing and symmetrical
It works!
Last three are sexy shots, totally mandatory. I hope this helps you out there, in case you want to do it. Be strong
it works.
