Slowepoke scx10 tr

[slowpoke69]

So the wife got me a scx10 tr for my birthday. I wanted to make it my own. So what I've done to it is:

cc sidewinder esc
proline '70 F-100 body (painted the inside and out)
moved the battery tray to the front and electric box to the back (for a gas tank type look)
3racing winch
Traxxas 3 channel rx/tx
custom 4 link in the rear, stock 4 link in the front (when I get the rest of the hardware tomorrow)
homemade license plate.

I know thread's are pointless with out pics!!!
So here you go

nice use of old alum. arrows!

 

[slowpoke69]

Yes they are old arrows. I couldn't find the tubing I wanted so I improvised. I have 8-32 threaded rod going through it so I could make a custom size to fit the body.

 

[slowpoke69]

OK so I did some work on it after some planning.

Added some rear fender wells (front to come soon)
Got my sidewinder programed and installed
put in a 2.4 ghz radio

Next will be some tire chains.
Oh yeah gonna paint my rear lower links.

Time for the pic's



A look at the fenders with the body on

Those inner fender wells sure do make it look a lot cleaner! Nice work. Needs some scratches now!

 

[slowpoke69]

Oh yeah! The wife is letting me plan a weekend trip. Just to go drive it I can't wait."thumbsup"

 

[slowpoke69]

Alright I decided to work on my tire chains tonight.
Half way done.

The finished product.

Action shots

So the family and I went up to Bass lake this weekend. I had a chance to get to the scx10 of and took some pics.

And at the end of the day I decided to strike a pose.

I took a lot more but I liked these the best. All in all we had a great weekend.

nice chains! you should take the rubber liminters out of your shocks you'll get more flex

i have ax10 / bully axle buggy in build and an scx10 on the way should be here by fri

 

[Sylvain]

Your Dingo looks really nice.

Can I ask you why you painted the inner and outter side of the body?

Is this because once scratched, the paint will look like primer (gray) ?

Also, did you try this body with 2.2" tires?

 

[slowpoke69]

Sylvain: I did it that way so as the outside gets scratch up it looks like rust showing through. No I haven't tried 2.2's I'm not a big fan of them.


2500hdon37s: I did notice that after I installed it I'll play with the slipper tonight if I get time.

crawler newbie: Thats awesome maybe we can get together in the next couple weeks.

 

[slowpoke69]
