wow, great vid fella, you got my attention :popc1:

 

I am honoured to have your attention Gaz (btw found your info here most useful: http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/166849-axial-scx10-4-link-parts-list-and-install/ - might pick your brains on 4-link front links if my plans don't work out).

 

Guess I'd better make a good edit of the next few vids  :thumbsup:

Quick update for y'all: Strider and his evil minions have been working me hard: Rolling chassis just finished, some 4,800 timelapse photos later! I'm off to review them, then get some sound effects into a couple of videos, which I will post when done. For now...

Where do you get the green measuring mats from?

Hi Yoodoo, it is a "A1 Self Healing Cutting Mat 60 Cm x 90 CM x 3 MM" that I got on eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A1-Self-Healing-Cutting-Mat-60-Cm-x-90-CM-x-3-MM-from-Chronos-/370669124444?pt=UK_Papercraft_Tools_Accessories_2&hash=item564d99fb5c)

I want one of those little blue things, where did you get them?

 

Hey Gilbert, I guess you mean the small blue boxes on the left? They are from Pro-Line 1:10th Scale Accessories sets #1 and #7 e.g.

Axial SCX10 Rubicon Build Pt2: Evil Oversight... Having taken over 4WheelRC's facilities & staff, Strider begins his evil plan:

 

 

Watch for the final part of the chassis build - coming soon: The good Minions under orders from Katniss & Peeta begin a plan to recover the SCX10 :)

 

FYI: Edited this post to change the YouTube link to v2 of this video (slightly better render & image quality).

Cheers Gaz :thumbsup:   I am happy (& perhaps a tab embarrassed) to say that I hope this build will be awesome, as I have spent months & months researching the SCX10, scale accessories etc.. In particular remote controlled lighting, which my build is going to have in spades, while still trying to keep everything very scale.

 

Once I have completed the initial 'stolen kit' story and it has been 'rescued' by the goodies (still shooting this), it will be on to hop-up city, including some lovely HeyOKPerformance controllers, a 6 channel Rx and... well, best not list it all here, otherwise the wife could work out what I have spent! :blush:

 

I'm waiting on parts to 4-link the front and convert the rear uppers to alloy. If my guesstimate of parts involved doesn't work out I might come asking. Hope to meet you at an event some time in the future  :)

Anyone got a good solution to stop the rubbish Axial shocks leaking?... They 2012 JK Rubicon I am building has these shocks and I did the rolling chassis a week ago; since then it has been on axle stands waiting on me having some more time. I got the ESC working today and ran it in my lounge for all of 2 minutes and the bump stops on the front shocks are covered with oil and there are also signs of oil on the rears :sadwalk:

 

Searching t'internet it looks as if leaking Axial shocks are a strangely accepted norm! Really :angrymad:

 

Is it worth trying any other o-rings in the Axial shocks (either from another manufacturer, or using a 3rd o-ring instead of the plastic spacer), or should I just stump up the

try the orange tamiya "o" rings, they are much better but if you want new shocks the g-made are good from what i have heard although they are expensive  :shockingscary:

 

Thanks Gaz, I'll look into the Tamiya O-rings as I need to get the stock Axial shocks 'fixed' as I was planning on selling them to fund my weakness :blush: ...
