rawalker666 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Over the bank holiday weekend i had a bit off time on my hands so pulled apart my scx10 deadbolt with wraith axles. I had never been happy with it so decided to steal the axles and create something as more off a dedicated rock crawler so heres the photos from the build I currrently just waiting for good servo to arrive in the post before i do any serious testing but early tests with a weak servo attatched are good and its just a case off altering link lengths and positions a little and it will be good for a trip to brimham rocks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zannu Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 That looks very cool, and I always like custom things. Hope it performs how you want it to, and when you test it, video please? Looks way better than the stock deadbolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zannu Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 ok, I will have to look at that. They certianly look like they will perform pretty well. Much lower centre of gravity. Enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Must admit that looks awesome! I don't have any kind of machine to cut those plans out, which is a shame, it would be neat to make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawalker666 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 i bought a cheap scroll saw years ago and its served me well it could also be done by hand with a normal fret saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawalker666 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 decided to add an different gearbox to the car so took one out off a wraith with dig and fitted it to this. It was a tight fit and had to widen the back end off the chassis a bit but it was worth it Now ready for an outing to brimham rocks will be fitting new shafts at some point as there is a bit off slack in the ones that are on at the moment but they will do for now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
