Howdy,

Well been working on the SCX10 Cheroke, not the Wreckluse. I want my mind to be focused 100% on the Wreckluse as its going to be tricky getting those Blackwell axles set up right. Also ordered another Wreckluse skid and am going to do inboard link mounts, so just trying to get this SCX10 done so I can start on it. I never was able to find that guys wreckluse with dig, but it sounds like you got it figured out. Just weld plate in back, mount servo to it, run long link between servo and dig. Was gonna do it myself, but if I ever comp it will be with the Wreck, so it needs to be dig free. Are you gonna braze that plate in or have it professionally welded? My idea is to braze nuts to the chassis, then screw the plate down to those, that way I can change things around later if the urge strikes. Off to breakfast ttyl.

Postclanker some thing coming your way.

Cloudswimer hows your build coming.


Just got the dig unit fitted now i have to work on shafts and other misc stuff and got an 1/8 scale winch after its all built and bugs worked out going to have to take it appart and have some plates welded in the back and the front .front plate will be high so the stering servo will clear the winch not real pretty but functional.

My friend owns his own welding company so I am going to let a pro do it.

We're slowing down a bit in this thread. Any Wreckluse news? Mine may take longer than I thought. Carter Fab & Machine is going to weld some brake guard tubing and lower link mounts onto my Blackwells, and he said about a 3 week turnaround time. So I'm gonna be peeking in to see how your dig is going Just. Will you be starting another thread for your other build?

Didn't ignore your challenge and I appreciate it. Thought about for a while, but have two other builds I want to do first.
