thesnake505 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) I have been tweeking the scout again, so I thought he start a new thread to show it off! I scrapped the battery tray and strapped the electrics to the frame, I am using smaller battery from my mini recon mounted on the servo until me Lipos turn up! And I have lowered the shell a bit, maybe too much as the fronts were catching when I was running earlier! Let me know what you think Edited September 18, 2013 by thesnake505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterjay Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) looks awesome mate , just one thing though id get rid of the bumpers and the securing lugs on the caseing as they restrict climbing over stuff no end , they catch like hell , honestly it makes a huge difference , ive still got to move the leccy stuff about its stull in the stock tray on top lol , but everything else has been done more or less , lowered shocks with fuel tube mod , lowered the shell, wieghted the wheels, HB rovers hopefully on sunday , bumpers removed and tabs trimmed , streering knuckle bump stop thing trimmed off for more steering, waterproofed the stock servo and leccies , off hand i think thats it lol , your front right tyres is on the wrong way mate , awesome fun though aint they ? i love mine oh ive put a longer servo horn on for a tad more steering lock too Edited March 29, 2013 by mixmasterjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
