This thread will follow .. :)

Thank for the pics ..

RE: My SCX10
 

thanks texx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...i'm very glad you found me in here!!! ...your comments are very welcome.

This is a big improvement on my previous model and yes hopefully i will continue on this thread with mods and upgrades.
Yesterday i ordered 5 landrover wheels & tyres (one will be a spare wheel) and an HPI landrover body is on the way.

With all the money i spent on this model i thought i'll be a bit more cautious but soon i forgot all about it and i was bashing it on the rocks LOL
Body is not so shiny any more LOL but it was so much fun i couldnt hold myself. I have my own rock course in the garden and i think i made it too hard for my SCX.
Have to make it a bit easier because so far i have not managed to drive it completely.

will post more pics later...

here is another pic during first testing of my new rock course... my scx on 3 wheels LOL

hi
just got my scx-10 today ,my other two sx-10s have rear steering is the new scx-10 the same so i can make it rear steering like i did the other two or from what i have read about the new scx-10 do i need to do it to it thanks rye

RE: My SCX10
 

if you have 2 others with rear steer why would you want another one?

RE: My SCX10
 

i think he meant his ax10s have rear steering. Well it does not come stock obviously but since axles are the same i guess that you can do it ;)

RE: My SCX10
 

today i received my landrover wheels :D ...very happy with them and they fit perfectly with no scrubbing. Tyres are a little bit small (some 8mm smaller in diameter than the flat irons) and i might try the flat irons on these rims and see if they fit ok. Here is a pic of them fitted on. I just put the spare there...it will go on the landy body when that arrives :D

RE: My SCX10
 

cool set up.

RE: My SCX10
 

thanks mate ;)

RE: My SCX10
 

what frame is that? i am intersted in making my ax10 into a scaler but not sure where i need to start.

RE: My SCX10
 

Its tha Axial SCX10 chassis. You can buy the kit to convert yours into one of these as well ;)

RE: My SCX10
 

i see, you going to make some bumpers?

RE: My SCX10
 

not sure yet...but got nothing planned for bumpers. ATM i'm working on how to modify the body. Tried to do a dummy hardtop to see how it looks but i did not like and now i'm thinking about a soft top.

This is what i did so far... and if i go for this i need to fabricate some sort of hood sticks out of brake pipe. For now i did a cardboard structure to hold the hood.

RE: My SCX10
 

i would say scratch a top at all. get a cage for it they look pretty cool.

RE: My SCX10
 

Wow good job there mate (:D). I love the black shell but the soft top shell like http://www.byzan.org/wp-content/uplo...soft-top-5.jpg would look real neat. Just currious how you like the flat irons, debating a pair :D

RE: My SCX10
 

thanks a lot mate... sorry but i cant see the pic.

regarding tyres well, i think i cant really judge or comment much because i didnt really drive it much and havent been anywhere with it except for my garden. So far i cant complain ;) I havent even done 1cm with the Rock Crushers that came with the landrover wheels i bought but they seem good tyres...they are just a little bit small compared t the flat irons.

RE: My SCX10
 

hi
i am going to start my new scx soon ,not having my ax-10 here to look at they are up north at my summer place and wouldnt be going up soon if i remenber the ax-10 axles were the same but the rear hubs were lock in place it looks like the new rear axles is not the same for what i mean the axles are longer and the hub ends are not the same does anyone make a rear steering kit for this yet ,i saw one for the ax-10 cant remenber where ,will that work do i really need it for the new model ,it works great on the old ax-10 thanks for the help rye

RE: My SCX10
 

Cant help you much myself i guess... i dont know much about rear wheel steering. All i know is that i would never do it on a scaler chassis like the SCX... it just doesnt look real ;)

...just finished painting the landy body...did not use liquid mask and it was a nightmare to mask it with tape to paint rollcage, bumper, arches and tub in black. I did the rest in dark green and it came ok. Pics will follow later.

RE: My SCX10
 

here are the pics of my ready painted landy body...
